A light mist filled the entire forest.
The priest stared blankly at the forest that had begun to fog up under the blazing sunshine at noon, and at the figure of the crazy forest witch who didn't know if it was an illusion.
His whole body was trembling slightly, frightened by the sudden appearance of that existence, and fearful of what the two people would encounter next.
But he knew that there was nothing he could do. The mist would rise, and he and his god would be separated from him by the mist.
The priest has done tests, and it is useless to release magical spells against the mist.
The nature that separated him from the gods allowed this mist to absorb most of the power of divine magic, which had almost no effect.
All he could do seemed to be praying, asking God to guide the two young men in the right direction.
The priest was silent, praying quietly for the two of them in his heart.
What he didn't notice was that the surrounding villagers didn't seem to see the rising mist.
Normally, if these villagers who are accustomed to the foggy time in the misty forest saw this unconventional scene, they would at least talk about it, instead of acting as if they really didn't see it like they did now.
That figure brought so much pressure to him that his judgment on things declined greatly.
The wise and steady priest finally got into trouble.
…
Choosing to enter the misty forest at noon is partly because it is convenient to travel during the day and the visibility is very high, making it less likely to cause accidents.
On the one hand, Wang Yu is indeed very wary of the existence in the priest's story.
This world is actually quite dangerous, and some unknown things appear out of nowhere.
Most of these things are weird and weird, and it is especially easy for such weird things to appear in places away from densely populated areas.
Although it is not easy to appear in densely populated areas, once these damn things appear, it is usually a serious disaster.
Wang Yu didn't have any good ideas for this. He just had to enter the forest in a safe way as much as possible, go to his destination, and do his best.
The midday sun penetrates the dense leaves and shines mottledly on the forest floor.
Regardless of the horror story told by the priest, this forest is indeed beautiful.
Insects chirp and birds chirp, and the air is filled with the freshness of nature's vegetation, which is full of natural vitality.
Wang Yu walked at the front of the team, and Aviya was sandwiched between Wang Yu and Torrett. The footsteps of the two of them were very obvious in the quiet forest.
After traveling for about half an hour, the group had entered the forest for some time.
The density of the forest has reached a new level. The inner woodland appears darker, and the thicker branches and leaves block more sunlight.
"Avia, is there a saying that the trees will be denser near the center of the forest? The trees here are getting denser and denser."
Wang Yu has some difficulty understanding why the woods have become dense. Logically speaking, as long as they exist for a long enough time, the density of the woods should be about the same.
"This is indeed the case. It was mentioned in the "Druid's Heart" journal in the royal capital. Generally, a tree king will be born in a forest that lasts long enough."
"These trees have shallow spiritual intelligence and exude a vitality. The surrounding trees are affected and become particularly lush." Aviya nodded, confirming Wang Yu's question.
"Then our target, the Cabin in the Woods Magic Academy, should be in a similar place, right?"
Wang Yu scratched his head. They actually had no way to find the location of the Magic Academy.
But when there is no definite direction, it is a good choice to find a special place with special equipment.
"Well, let's try to get closer to the center of the woods." Aviya agreed, and the two of them continued to move forward.
The forest was as quiet as ever, except for the natural chirping of insects and birds and the footsteps of two people and a horse.
Suddenly, Aviya pulled Wang Yu's clothes, and Wang Yu turned around and said, "What's wrong?"
Aviya had a worried look on her face, "It seems like we haven't seen any normal animals since we came in."
"And it stands to reason that even though it's daytime, the forest witches and other things in the forest should be active, and we haven't seen the swamp slimes, or those mosskin goblins, either..."
"Indeed." After hearing Aviya's words, Wang Yu also noticed something was wrong.
A small part of the reason why the Misty Forest is famous includes those annoying animals, but after walking in for a long time, I actually didn't see any of those annoying things.
Especially something that is famous in the misty forest, such as the Lin Wu, has not appeared or made a sound until now. This is something wrong.
The two people's awareness seemed to have touched something. The forest suddenly became quieter. The chirping of insects and birds suddenly disappeared, and the forest suddenly changed from quiet to dead...
"This is..." Wang Yu felt very strange. The forest had changed since the two of them noticed it. This was really scary.
"Wang Yu, what should we do next?" The girl bit her lip and asked the knight attendant. The change in the environment put a lot of pressure on her.
"Let's go on. Those who pretend to be gods usually mean that they don't have the ability to kill us." Wang Yu waved his hand. This guy has no fear at all. At most, he is in awe.
In fact, this is also a quite obvious conclusion.
If there are malicious intentions, but you don't rush up to kill them directly, it basically means that the enemy needs to use these non-frontal means to influence them.
If you want to avoid a direct conflict, this also shows that the frontal combat effectiveness of this existence will not be very high.
But there is another possibility that Wang Yu didn't say, and what he said will only affect Aviya's mentality even more, that is, that existence has the malicious intention of playing with its prey like a cat and mouse.
However, considering the girl's intelligence, she might also be able to think of this direction, so tacitly understanding it is actually a good choice.
As long as the Cabin in the Woods Magic Academy can be found, all problems will be solved. An organization that can exist here for a long time, not to mention reverse constraints, must have the ability to protect itself.
As the two continued to move forward, the atmosphere in the forest began to become strange, the sounds seemed to be suppressed, and even the footsteps of Wang Yu and the others became unclear.
Everything seems to be covered with a layer of gauze, and there is a hazy illusion of seeing flowers in the fog...
No, it’s not an illusion, it’s really foggy. I don’t know when, but there was a faint mist around me.
It's not thick, but it's very strange that the fog occurs less than an hour before noon.
"Something went wrong, be more careful next time" Wang Yu reminded Aviya behind him.
Changes have occurred, and it is no longer time to be bold and ignore these changes. Ignoring them will only bring more problems, and staying vigilant is the only solution.
He did not choose to stop and maintained the same speed as before. Wang Yu continued to go deep into the forest calmly, approaching what was probably the deepest part of the forest.
The trees became more and more lush, and the double obstruction of fog and leaves also made the forest land become darker and darker.
There is no need to panic. No matter what, panic will only cause greater trouble. No matter what you face, just deal with it as you see it.
Feeling his clothes being pulled gently again, Wang Yu turned around and saw Aviya with obvious fear on her face, "Wang Yu, I feel something is staring at me!"
"What?" Wang Yu was stunned for a moment. He still knew Aviya's character. If she was not sure about this situation, she would definitely not say anything.
Then it can only mean that Aviya is sure that she really feels that something is staring at her.
But he has been observing his surroundings and staying vigilant at all times, but he has not sensed anything. Why is this?
"It's okay. As long as the other party doesn't show up directly, just stay alert and don't panic." Wang Yu comforted him. Wang Yu didn't know whether this was an hallucination caused by excessive pressure or a real peep.
From Aviya's perspective, she felt a malicious gaze peering at her in the fog in the forest.
No, not one, but many very close gazes gathered together to form a gaze full of malice and covetousness, peeping at her from every corner.
The gazes that gathered together reminded Aviya of the monster in the priest's memories.
This made her feel scared, but she did not keep talking about it because she knew it would only cause trouble to Wang Yu, who was leading the way calmly, and would have no other use.
As the two of them continued to go deeper, the sense of voyeurism had no tendency to weaken or disappear, but instead became more serious and solid.
The sixth sense in this world does exist, and there are many particularly keen people who can detect that illusory sense of gaze.
Similar to the inspiration in coc, these people can often feel the strange existence hidden in the ordinary world. Similarly, they are also easier to detect.
Aviya's sixth sense is very strong, and the heightened sense of voyeurism makes her more and more stressed.
Gradually she could see something, and something seemed to appear in the faint mist.
It was the figure of a deformed woman, and the noisy cry of the forest witch appeared in her ears like a shadow.
The appearance of the figure made Aviya suddenly freeze. She hurriedly pulled Wang Yu, and then pointed in the direction of the fog, "Wang Yu, there, that thing!"
Wang Yu paused, of course he knew what that thing was, and turned to look in the direction pointed by the nervous Aviya.
The fog was light and the light was dim, but there was nothing in Wang Yu's field of vision except the fog and the shadows of the trees.
"I didn't see anything." Wang Yu said, his eyes narrowed slightly. Is it an illusion? He would not be hallucinating, but what about Aviya...
"Avia, I'm going to cover your ears next. You close your eyes and feel if that line of sight is still there."
The function of hallucinations requires a carrier, which for humans is the five senses. If the senses are closed, the corresponding hallucinations will not exist..."
Wang Yu walked up to the girl and covered her ears with his hands.
Aviya closed her eyes, her ears could no longer hear, her eyes became dark, two of her five senses were blocked, and the world became different.
The sight was still there, and the roar of Lin Wu in his ears had indeed disappeared, but the undisguised coveting sight became more and more obvious.
That kind of naked malice, naked greed, chills, filled my heart, and abnormal fear began to emerge.
"No, this kind of fear is abnormal." Aviya noticed this keenly.
The appearance of that thing is obviously accompanied by a wavering of willpower, and fear will take over reason.
The priest's behavior was very similar to hers. He was uncontrollably deepening fear and wanted to escape for no reason. Wang Yu was not affected...
Be calm! Telling herself this request in her heart, taking a deep breath, Aviya adjusted her state.
The influence has not disappeared, and the fear that grows for no reason continues to affect her...
This kind of thing seems familiar? Have you seen it somewhere? It inspires fear and a strange sense of gaze.
Aviya's mind became more alert after noticing these details. She seemed to have thought of something, but she didn't seem to.
"The feeling of gaze is still there!" Aviya said to Wang Yu.
"Is it still there? Then that thing probably exists, but why can't I see it?" Wang Yu thought.
If it cannot be observed with the naked eye, you may try other observation methods. Although you are not skilled, you can still give it a try.
The secret energy ripples are stimulated, control the ripples, close your eyes, abandon the perspective of the naked eye, and spread the void energy out of the body surface in a wave.
The ripples spread out in the air in circles, detecting the surroundings in a radar-like manner, and what they carry is the "vision" that Wang Yu gave up when he closed his eyes!
A magic-like detection ability developed by Wang Yu himself using secret energy, Secret Energy-Inner Eye.
Although it has a wider perspective, the vision of the naked eye must be given up.
Now, Wang Yu wants to see if this illusory and real existence can be observed using similar illusory and real void energy!
"Huh?!" Suddenly Wang Yu's inner eye observed something.
Something has been scanned. What weird composition is that?
In the perspective of the feedback from the inner eye, a weird thing exists there, and the void energy outlines this thing.
A bunch of weird and twisted forest witches spliced together to form the figure of this woman, with a weird and crazy smile on her weird face.
Moreover, what does it carry? It is also the energy of the void?
When Wang Yu saw the thing that he couldn't see with his naked eyes, the thing also noticed Wang Yu.
As if aware that he was not only seen by Aviya, this thing's face with a crazy smile showed an expression of extreme disgust.
He glanced at Wang Yu with twisted and malicious eyes, locking Wang Yu with evil and crazy eyes.
But Wang Yu didn't feel anything. This guy's ability should be useless to him.
It seemed that he realized that he could not influence Wang Yu, and that existence simply ignored Wang Yu.
It seemed that the seven emotions and six desires of intelligent creatures did not come to Wang Yu out of anger.
This weird existence still looked at Aviya. From Wang Yu's perspective, the look in his eyes was a crazy and undisguised coveting.
The next moment, the thing disappeared from Wang Yu's field of vision!
"Where is it!?" Wang Yu's heart rang with alarm bells, and he concentrated on staring at his field of vision.
The next moment, the thing suddenly appeared on Aviya's side next to Wang Yu.
There is no trace, no trace, it just appears suddenly and without any interval.
With a weird smile and greedy malice on his twisted face, he stretched out his deformed palm forcibly twisted from Lin Wu's body and grabbed Aviya's head.
Wang Yu reacted and drew his sword back in an instant. He slashed past with one sword, and the long sword flew through the air, dragging along the silver trajectory.
The sound of "whoosh" cut through the air came, but it passed through!
The long sword was very fast, but it was useless. Wang Yu's long sword passed directly through the weird existence and had no effect.
Aviya also saw the strange existence in front of her, the fear in her heart was growing, and unspeakable panic was appearing.
He stretched out his hand to try to block the palm of the strange existence. He stretched out his left hand and passed through it as if passing through an illusion without any hindrance.
The claw slowly grabbed Aviya's head, as if the victory was in hand...
Then, "pop" there seemed to be a collision sound in the air, but in fact there was no sound.
Aviya's right hand, the illusory right hand, collided with that weird thing, and actually knocked off the opponent's hand.
The thing disappeared in an instant, and reappeared under a tree a few meters away. It tilted its head, its neck was weirdly bent, and turned 180 degrees to look at Aviya...
This is Lin Wu's signature expression, but when made out of a human figure, it looks extremely scary and disgusting.
There was some confusion on that thing's face, as well as an increasingly fierce and uncontrollable covetousness and greed.
(Thank you for watching, your watching is the best support for me)
