08 Wandering into the Lost Forest (1st reissue)
(It is still a reissued chapter that was blocked before. Due to multiple applications for unblocking, there was no response, so I tried to reissue it in this way. I reissued 1 chapter every day around 7 pm, temporarily observed the effect, and last time I tried to apply to unblock the original chapter, but I don’t know if I can get a response. I also don’t know how to adjust the order, so the order is a bit messy. Please forgive me if possible. Also, sometimes the title cannot be displayed, just in case I added another title to the chapter. .)
*****In the deep north of the forest outside the Huilna Labyrinth****
After Zhang Youji and Deguna set out from the maze with Nas's retinue, two divine soldiers and two high-level demons each, they followed Leterica's words and began to traverse the forest outside the maze to meet King Rosmona. The big town in the north of the capital moved. After about 2 hours, they got lost because they sprinted with all their strength and rushed too fast. They were even besieged by monsters. However, they were defeated by the divine soldiers who were traveling with them. The upper demons were easily repelled.
【···Summoning Lord, are we in trouble in the forest? 】
【···Well, it seems like he ran a little fast. 】
[It’s not that we ran too fast, it’s that we rushed too fast, Summon the Lord! Sigh, is misfortune such a dangerous skill? I'm starting to have a headache. 】
[Don’t change the topic, you are the one who shouted on the spider’s back, hurry up, hurry up, rush to the town to buy jerky and other things, and made it run in this direction, isn’t it you! Don't blame everything on my skills! By the way, you don’t even know the road and you dare to let it run to its death? ! 】
[Because Leterica has pointed out this direction! People thought that as long as they ran out of the forest in the direction she pointed and corrected the route a little, they would be able to reach the town immediately. But what people didn't expect was that the forest outside the maze was actually connected to the legendary most dangerous Lost Forest. ! 】
When Zhang Youji and his party found out that they were lost, they were already in the center of this called the Lost Forest. Now Zhang Youji and Deguna are on the back of Nasi's family, complaining about getting lost, and thinking about what to do next. What should we do? As for the divine soldiers and high-level demons, they are on guard all around to prevent sneak attacks from the monsters in the forest. After all, the trees in this forest are very tall and dense, giving people a very eerie feeling even during the day. .
The Lost Forest is a so-called huge forest that once you enter the depths, you will lose your way inside, and the ecology in the forest is not suitable for human survival. In a normal Lost Forest, there are a lot of wild high-level monsters, but water and The amount of food is very scarce, so if you want to survive in this forest, you can only fight and hunt with each other. The law of the jungle is the law of the jungle.
Therefore, the levels of monsters living in the Lost Forest are very high, some can even reach level 250 or above, and there are even highly intelligent monsters that live in groups. They will occupy the few water sources and fruit trees in the forest, waiting for them to be released. The prey takes the bait on its own, and then attacks the hooked monster together. If there is insufficient food, they will hunt anything they can eat unscrupulously. This situation will continue until the group of monsters or a single powerful monster is killed. After it ends, new and stronger monsters will do it again. This kind of infinite killing and being killed is the ecology of the Lost Forest.
Therefore, the Lost Forest is stipulated as a threat equal to or greater than the Demon King-level maze, because the monsters in the maze cannot get out of the maze, but the monsters in the forest can enter and exit at will. When the monsters in the Lost Forest When a monster comes out of the forest and is discovered near a human town, people will send heavy troops or dozens of A-level or above adventurers to eliminate the monster as soon as possible. If they don't do this, the monster that walks out of the forest will cause serious damage to the town. Big loss.
But this has nothing to do with Zhang Youji and his party, because just when Zhang Youji and Deguna were discussing how to get out of the forest, they had inadvertently destroyed two monster groups. To be precise, most of them were magic weapons. Zhang Youji and Deguna didn't even notice what they were doing with the upper demons. As for one of Nas's dependents, the big spider known as the Green Poison Lord, who had been silently carrying the two of them, it had been using The two front legs are playing with the silk balls made from their own silk.
After about 30 minutes like this, Zhang Youji and Deguna finally figured out a way to leave the Lost Forest. To be more precise, in those 30 minutes, they only spent 2 minutes thinking about the solution, and the remaining 28 The points were used by Deguna to complain about things.
As for the method that the two came up with, they tied the spider silk around Deguna's waist, and then let Deguna fly above and point out the way out of the forest from the sky, because it was impossible to distinguish what was under the sea of trees in the sky. Due to the situation, there will be some errors in the position when returning to the ground, so spider silk was tied around Deguna's waist so that she could accurately return to Zhang Youji.
By the way, although Zhang Youji wanted to use the teleporter to return to the maze and start over, unfortunately, his teleporter was placed in the residence of the Mirror of Precognition and was not recovered into the Book of Almighty, so even now It's impossible to use it even if you want to. In addition, there are bat wings hidden behind Deguna's back. Although it is not exposed normally, it will immediately appear from behind when it needs to fly.
[Summoner Lord, I’m back. The sun is so strong above. 】
[Above,... what’s the injury on your stomach? Are you okay? 】
[Ah, this was done when I was attacked by a strange bird when I first arrived in the sky. At first, even the contents inside flowed out. Fortunately, I immediately fought off the bird and stuffed it back. After all, people’s abilities are greatly enhanced under the sun. It was weakened, but it has healed now, so the Summoner doesn't have to worry about me anymore. 】
[What did you stuff back? ! Sorry, I forgot that your abilities will be greatly reduced during the day. Next time I will let the magic soldiers go up and lead the way. 】
When he saw Deguna flying back saying hello, Zhang Youji wanted to ask about the situation above, but when he only said three words, he discovered the blood stains remaining on Deguna's body, and the clothes she was wearing now There was a big gap on the left side of the tight dress near the stomach, which looked like it had been bitten off. After Zhang Youji asked what happened, he covered his head and apologized to Deguna. The person who led the way was replaced by a magic soldier who was traveling with him.
In addition, although the magic weapons have no wings, they can use magic such as flying, so it is not difficult for them to fly into the sky.
[Summoner Lord, I didn’t see any town or anything like that from the sky just now. This lost forest is so big that I can barely see its edge. 】
[As long as you know the direction, it is enough, and then you just need to slowly walk out in the right direction..., by the way, can we walk out within today? 】
After Deguna untied the bloody spider silk from her waist and handed it to the substitute magic weapon, she told Zhang Youji about the scenery she had just seen from the sky in the Lost Forest. When Zhang Youji learned about this method It worked. When I planned to walk out of the forest leisurely, I suddenly recalled Leterica's angry expression in my mind. If Leterica knew that she was still walking slowly in the forest at this critical moment, she would definitely kill her. When he came, Zhang Youji's eyes turned into dead fish eyes unconsciously.
[Summoner, I feel like we are going to make Leterica angry again. Although I just remembered it, her expression when angry is really scary. 】
[···It’s about 10:45 now, and it’s still early before dark. Anyway, let’s hurry up. Deguna, which way are you going? 】
[Go back, let me lead the way first. If we don't hurry up,...it seems like we will really be killed by someone, summon the Lord. 】
[Ah, let’s put aside what’s right and wrong. For now, getting out of the forest is our top priority. 】
When Deguna saw Zhang Youji's eyes like a dead fish and listened to his words, she immediately understood what he wanted to express. Then when Deguna suddenly remembered the issue of time, her eyes also changed. She turned into a dead fish shape and at the same time unintentionally said what Letlica looked like when she was angry. After listening to her unintentional words, Zhang Youji immediately asked Deguna to point out the direction out of the forest, and immediately started on the way. In order to let Don't be killed by someone.
After that, Zhang Youji and his party used this method of flying the magic soldiers over the lost forest every 30 minutes to explore the direction and correct the forward route. They began to try to get out of the forest as quickly as possible because it was easy to get in. , I ran like crazy without paying attention to the route, and almost reached the center of the lost forest in one breath. However, you can't do this when you go out. You must always pay attention to whether you are going in the wrong direction. In addition, there are attacks from wild monsters, although you almost There is no danger, but it is very annoying, so now the speed of Zhang Youji and his party has no choice but to endure and slow down a little.
Then about 3 hours later, the magic soldiers who had just come down from the forest reported that they could clearly see the edge of the forest. Zhang Youji breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news, and then he They started to let everyone take turns to rest in place, because within these three hours of movement, they had been attacked by monsters of various sizes dozens of times, and once the number of monsters even exceeded 500.
Although the attacking monsters were easily repelled by the divine soldiers and high-level demons every time, there were only 4 of them in total. If you include Zhang Youji, Deguna, and the Green Poison Lord, there were only 6 and 1. They were just spiders. They were somewhat damaged by the violence of the number of monsters. Therefore, Zhang Youji prioritized the safety of everyone and did not rush out of the forest, because there was still a lot of time before the time limit mentioned by Leterica. Even if you walk slower, you can get out of the lost forest and enter the city to find the necessary talents before the dragon's egg breaks.
[Lord Zhang Youji, no trace of monsters has been found nearby. 】
[I got it, you should take a rest now. If you need healing potions or the like, you can get them directly from me. 】
[I understand, if you have nothing else to do, we won’t disturb you. 】
After resting in place for 20 minutes using the spider nest simply built by the Green Poison Lord as a base, the two magic soldiers, one man and one woman, who were responsible for guarding the surroundings, came over and reported to Zhang Youji who was resting in the spider nest. There was nothing unusual around. After Zhang Youji briefly talked to the two of them, the two magic soldiers went to find the two accompanying high-level demons to change shifts. As for Deguna, who had changed her clothes in the spider nest , while feeding the Green Poison Lord in the nest, while chatting with Zhang Youji about some topics.
By the way, Deguna's clothes were taken from her own shadow, and her food was taken from Zhang Youji's Almighty Book.
[Calling Lord, when we travel in the future, should we also take a spider with us? This child's abilities are very convenient. 】
[Indeed, let’s discuss it with Nas when we get back. However, at the current speed, can we get out of the forest before dark? 】
[Hmm... Summoner, I think it should be possible. It's about 14:05 now, and there are still 4 hours before dark. If we keep the speed we just had, we want to get out of this place before dark. Lost in the Woods shouldn't be difficult. 】
[Really? Then take a breath after resting? ! Explosion? ! Was it attacked by monsters again? ! 】
While Zhang Youji and Deguna were chatting, the sound of something erupting suddenly came from nearby, and then there was the sound of someone fighting with a monster. Zhang heard the sound in the nest. Yuji, Deguna, and the Green Poison Lord were immediately alert. As for the divine soldiers and high-level demons outside the nest, after hearing the sound, they immediately surrounded the nest to prevent the monsters from attacking. , however, they immediately lifted the alert because they heard what Deguna shouted.
【···wrong! The sound came from a distance, summoning the Lord. This was probably the sound of monsters in the forest fighting for territory! There's nothing wrong with ignoring it, but the sound of fighting came from the area we were going to pass in front of us, so I suggested checking it just in case. 】
[Yes, tell everyone we will leave immediately. 】
After that, Zhang Youji, who listened to Deguna's suggestion, decided to immediately go to the place where the sound of fighting was coming to see what happened ahead.
By the way, Zhang Youji only noticed the reminder sound in his mind after he walked out of the forest.
