Qianhai and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly swept their eyes across the entire herd. Only then did they realize that there were two identical humanoid creatures further away, guarding these dozens of beasts together with the one who just walked away. middle.
"O-Old Bai," Qian Hai asked in a low voice, "Are these the legendary forest giants?"
Lao Bai nodded slightly, "Yes, forest giants are the only giants except sky giants that have contact with foreign races. They usually wander in groups of three or five in specific areas of the starting point, and protect some less aggressive ones. Spiritual beasts and strange beasts.”
"S-So, they won't attack us?" An Xiu asked with a trembling voice.
"Well, as long as we don't maliciously attack any creature here, we will be fine." Lao Bai reminded: "Also, we can't have any malicious thoughts in our hearts. It is said that many spiritual beasts here can keenly detect the kindness of people's hearts. evil."
Sister Nuo asked in a low voice: "Then what should we do now? Can we get through here?"
"No, there is no need to keep running, we are safe now."
Qian Hai looked at Lao Bai in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Lao Bai explained: "In the depths of this chaotic forest, with our current life level, the forest giants will also provide us with protection. As long as we do not leave the area they protect, no one can touch us."
'And this is a good thing? ? Qian Hai said in surprise: "You mean, what the forest giant said just now means that as long as we don't disturb other creatures, we can rest here?"
"Yes, and I think that if these three forest giants are traveling in the same direction as us, we can always follow them." Lao Bai smiled and sighed to Qian Hai: "Do you know how lucky we are? ?In the past ten years I have been in the Chaos Forest, I have only seen forest giants twice in the distance."
"Let's go, then our luck is really good!" Qian Hai looked at the beasts lying on the ground to rest in front of him, and asked carefully: "Then let's just walk over like this? We won't scare these beasts, right?"
Lao Bai thought for a while, "Probably not. Let's walk more lightly and try walking forward."
"Okay." Qian Hai was the first to move forward tentatively. When he saw that many beasts around him didn't even raise their heads to look at them, a few of them slowly walked inside.
In the dark woods, everyone walked very carefully, for fear of touching any resting beast. At this time, everyone suddenly saw a small deer not far away. It curiously poked its head out from between the two big deer and looked at Qianhai and the others.
Qian Hai quickly signaled everyone to stop. This cute little deer had several plum blossom patterns on its back and was emitting a faint silver light. Under everyone's gaze, it jumped from the middle of the two big deer towards Qian Hai and the others. The two big deer just raised their eyes for a moment, then lay down again and continued to rest.
Before Qianhai and the others could figure out what the little deer was going to do, Amomo, who had been holding Sister Nuo's hand, suddenly let go of Sister Nuo's hand and ran towards the little deer happily.
"Momo——" Sister Nuo subconsciously reached forward to catch Momo back.
Qian Hai raised his hand to stop Sister Juan, "Sister, don't move yet, it should be fine."
I saw Amomo running up to the little deer. The two little guys looked at each other for a few seconds and immediately started jumping and playing together. After a while, several more beautiful and almost fantastic little animals came over and played with Momo and the others.
Feeling the kind looks from around him, Qian Hai smiled and said, "It seems that thanks to Momo, the spiritual beasts around us have accepted us."
"Then what should we do?" An Xiu tried to ask: "Say... hello to them?"
Qian Hai rolled his eyes at An Xiu and said, "Why don't you just go over and have a few words with them."
"I don't understand what they are saying." An Xiu muttered.
"Then what nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and find an open space to rest." Qian Hai raised his legs and walked forward, finding a spacious open space under a big tree and sitting down directly.
Sister Juan and the other three also sat next to Qian Hai and asked, "Should we place the mustard tent and rest underground?"
Lao Bai took out a piece of dried meat, chewed it slowly and said, "We don't know when the forest giant will set off, so it's best not to rest underground."
"Well, what Lao Bai said is right. It's too difficult for us to walk this way on our own, so we'd better follow these three forest giants." Qian Hai took out the wine bottle and took a sip, then lay down on the ground, " It won't be long before dawn, let's go to bed quickly."
"Well," Sister Nuo nodded, and whispered to Amomo not far away: "Momo, come back, it's time to go to bed, you can play again tomorrow."...
The next morning, accompanied by the heavy footsteps of the forest giant and the noise of the surrounding animals, Qianhai and the others woke up from their sleep, walked among the animals and followed the forest giant slowly towards the depths of the forest.
Qian Hai poured water on his face to wake up a lot, and handed the kettle to Lao Bai beside him, "Is the direction of travel now the same as our route?"
"It's basically the same," Lao Bai poured water into his hands and wiped his face, "but I think that once we pass through the most dangerous area, the forest giant will probably turn around, and then we will continue to move forward."
Qian Hai took out a piece of special cheese and took a bite. "Well, if you can follow them, it's a day. It just so happens that we can have a good rest."
Sister Nuo kept her eyes on Amomo, who was playing with small animals not far away, and asked: "Old Bai, how long will it take for us to get out of the forest?"
Lao Bai thought for a moment, "At the current speed, it is estimated that we will be able to reach the main road leading to Junmo City in six or seven days."
"But are we moving too slowly now?" An Xiu used fire magic to brew two cups of black tea, handed one to Lao Bai, and then looked at Qian Hai and Sister Nuo: "Do you want hot tea?"
"No, I can just drink." Qian Hai took out the wine bottle and took a sip.
Sister Nuo reached out and took the wine bottle from Qian Hai's hand: "Me too."
"Haha," Lao Bai held the hot tea in his hand, "Anxiu, although the speed we are traveling at seems relatively slow, we are walking in a completely straight line. If we walk through this forest by ourselves, we will avoid the deadly danger. Areas and times of risk, we're actually going to be even slower than we are now."
An Xiu nodded deeply, "You are right, if one of us is accidentally seriously injured, it may delay our progress even more."
"That's right." Lao Bai turned to look at Qian Hai and said hesitantly: "Um...Qian Hai, I have something to tell you."
"Huh?? What's wrong?" Qian Hai asked curiously.
"Well... that's it..." Lao Bai lowered his head guiltily: "Last night, when I was collecting the medicinal plant in the lake, for some reason, the medicinal material suddenly entered my body. I couldn't get it out of my body last night. It was separated from the body, but now it is being absorbed by the saplings in my body."
"Integrated directly into the body? So magical?" Qian Hai looked at Lao Bai curiously: "Isn't this a good thing? What's wrong?"
Lao Bai was stunned when he was asked, and said hurriedly: "No, everyone risked their lives to get this medicinal herb, especially you Qianhai. But now this medicinal herb has been absorbed by me alone, this is really—— "
"Oops~ Lao Bai," Qian Hai interrupted with a nonchalant smile: "You're having the old problem again, aren't you? That medicinal plant was originally meant for you, so you don't have to worry so much about this little thing~"
"But,"
"Old Bai," An Xiu also advised from the side: "Anyway, we can't pay back what we owe this guy. Besides, he is so rich, it doesn't matter how much we owe him."
"Hey~ Your kid's brain is suddenly alive again?" Qian Hai smiled and looked at An Xiu, "Although your words make me feel a little uncomfortable, but it is indeed the case. Lao Bai, then you absorb that Do the medicinal herbs have any effect?”
"The energy contained in this medicinal plant has just begun to be released," Lao Bai said conservatively: "I feel that if I can activate Baidi's heart source tonight to absorb all the medicinal materials, my life level may be improved."
"What?? I just finished level one, and I can still level up again!?" Qian Hai said a little jealously: "Can just one medicinal plant have such a big effect?"
Lao Bai smiled awkwardly: "There should be this medicinal plant."
"……All right."
Qianhai and the others, who were among the beasts, followed the three forest giants until late at night before resting. As Lao Bai said along the way, with these three forest giants around, even if we pass directly through those deadly areas, it will be no different from an outing in the wild.
Moreover, after a day of getting along, Qianhai and the others had obviously become quite familiar with the extremely intelligent spiritual beasts around them. Especially when Lao Bai plays the flute, it will attract many wild animals to come and accompany him.
Although the spirit beasts would not get too close to Qian Hai, who continued to emit void particles, they would occasionally take the initiative to carry An Xiu and Sister Nuo for a short walk.
Qianhai can still accept Amomo's ability to play with the spiritual beasts. But seeing An Xiu excitedly sitting on the back of the spirit beast and smiling from ear to ear, while he could only be touched by a few spirit beasts, Qian Hai's face was filled with jealousy.
Under the giant tree, in front of the fire, Qian Hai was sulking while grilling skewers.
Yesterday, Qian Hai and others thought that if they cooked meat, they might arouse the hostility of the surrounding beasts, and even be driven out by the forest giants. For this reason, Lao Bai specifically asked the forest giants during the day, and the answer he got was that they respect the living habits of each race, and all the beasts around them will not be hostile.
Lao Bai put down the bamboo flute in his hand and asked with a smile: "Qianhai, are you still angry?"
"I can't talk about it, I'm just a little unhappy," Qian Hai fiddled with the skewers in front of him and complained: "Even that boy An Xiu has a spirit beast willing to hump him, why can't I? I'm just special."
"You are not special, you are very special." Lao Bai smiled gently: "Especially for these sensitive spiritual beasts and alien beasts, the void energy you exude is more obvious than anything else."
"Oh, okay." Qian Hai raised his head and shouted angrily towards An Xiu who was performing magic for the spirit beasts: "Siyan, stop showing off and come over to eat!"
"Sister Nuo, you and Momo will have a taste of today's cooking." Qian Hai handed a few skewers to Sister Nuo, who was carrying Momo back. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a beast on the edge of the herd in the distance. Where is the figure sitting?
