Chapter 22 The thick fog whispers
The three people who met Albon were the three Leos who were crossing the Black Forest. Although they didn't know exactly where they had reached now, after meeting Albon, they were able to deduce where they were now.
The location should already be within the area on the west side of the Lower Black Forest, and should not be very far from the western edge of the Black Forest.
From the time they entered the Black Forest on the east side to the time they were about to leave the Black Forest on the west side, only about a day and a half had passed, which was much less time than expected.
The reason for this is not only that Leo can always find the most correct and easiest path in the dark forest, but also that after they encountered the thick fog, they did not encounter any danger in the forest the rest of the time.
, not even a wild beast that could threaten them appeared in the country.
The smoothness of the journey made Nelson wonder if the place he was in was the black forest that was still talked about.
If it was just going smoothly, it wouldn't be worth Nelson and Jason's fuss. What made the two of them feel even more incredible was that Leo's luck was incredibly good.
While walking on the road, Leo kicked open a rotten tree root. It turned out that under the root there was a purple crown flower that Nelson had promised his teacher to pick. Moreover, this purple crown flower was only recorded in the myth transmission.
of seven petals.
According to Nelson, the environment under the rotten tree roots is not suitable for the growth of purple crown flowers at all. It is almost a miracle that this purple crown flower can grow to seven petals, which also makes him doubt where this purple crown flower took root.
There might be something strange about the mulch. So when he dug out the Purple Crown Flower, he also took a large amount of mulch from the surrounding environment and looked for an opportunity to study it.
It would be fine if there was only this one miraculous good luck. Things happened one after another after that. Each time without exception, Leo moved or removed an obstacle, and then he could see some extremely dangerous things hidden behind the obstacle.
Precious Black Forest products.
The cumulative value of these products, including mature herbs, precious tree species, rare animal bones, etc., has reached at least more than 300,000 gold shields. With such a huge income, even the best team of Black Forest hunters can
Never done it before.
However, the value of these things is much lower than the two pieces of gold-eating beast excrement found now. Including Leo, they have no doubt that if they continue to stay in the Black Forest for a day or two,
, the accumulated value of the special products in their hands can definitely exceed one million gold shields.
As for the Duke of Buckingham of the Kingdom of England, who is known as the Duke of the Sea, the Platinum Chamber of Commerce he controls is the largest chamber of commerce in the world. The merchants and fleets of the Chamber of Commerce control nearly one-third of the freight trade in the three continents.
And the profit he can make in a year is just close to one million gold shields.
Now the three of them have the opportunity to harvest Black Forest specialties worth one million gold shields in a few days. I am afraid no one will believe such a thing.
"What should we do now?" Jason suddenly asked.
Although Jason's question was very vague, the other two people were able to understand what he meant.
In the face of huge interests, even Nielsen, who didn't care much about money, couldn't help but hesitate. He put the gold-eating beast excrement in his hand into Leo's backpack, and then asked tentatively: "How about that?"
Why don’t we stay for two more days?”
Leo was silent for a moment, and then made a decisive decision: "No! Let's leave immediately and leave the Black Forest as soon as possible."
After saying that, he did not allow his two companions to raise objections, so he directly put on his backpack and put the petrified kidney he had just taken out from the body of the red leopard into the small bag around his neck, along with the monster's black heart and other similar items. Objects are put together.
Jason and Nelson were stunned when they saw Leo making a decision so quickly and decisively. Then they looked at each other without saying anything, picked up their things, and followed closely.
Leo, who was walking in front, looked very serious, and there was a trace of fear and worry in his eyes. He was not worried about any dangers he would encounter on the way out, but was worried about his good luck.
In fact, he didn't tell the truth just now. It's not that he didn't know where his good luck came from. In fact, he could vaguely guess that his good luck should come from the golden giant deer. Just like the golden giant deer improved Just like his will, physique and other personal data, it also gave him some good luck, and this good luck allowed him to move smoothly in the forest and gain countless gains.
But as a bioweapon known for its rationality, Leo would never believe in such a good thing as pie in the sky. If there is a gain, there must be a sacrifice. The greater the harvest, the greater the sacrifice. It is this idea that makes him He felt that if he continued to stay in the Black Forest, he might have to make a huge sacrifice for the harvest of more than 500,000 gold shields.
Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but quicken his pace, and when Jason and Nelson couldn't keep up, he took the backpack from them, put it on his back, and continued on his way. Because he has reached five times the basic physical fitness of ordinary people, even if Leo has Carrying a backpack for three people, the pace is still not slow.
Nelson and Jason didn't know why Leo was in such a hurry, but they could feel that Leo was very nervous and anxious at the moment. This emotion also affected them, making them break away from the joy of the huge harvest just now and concentrate. He concentrated on his journey, and even though his physical strength felt a little weak, he didn't ask for a rest.
As the three of them hurried on, the journey that originally took more than an hour took them less than half an hour.
The sunlight shining through the gaps in the tree wall in front of them could also be clearly seen. Even without Leo to lead the way, Nelson and Jason had no chance of getting lost.
Just as he was about to walk out of the dark forest, Leo's talent for spiritual perception suddenly gave rise to an extreme sense of crisis, making him feel as if the world was about to collapse and making the hairs on his body stand on end.
"Damn it!" He felt that if the current situation continued, it would be absolutely impossible for him to leave the Black Forest before the danger corresponding to the sense of crisis appeared.
For this reason, he decisively threw the two backpacks on the ground without hesitation, leaving only Nelson's backpack containing letters, purple crown flowers and some rare herbs. Then he reached out and grabbed Jason and Nelson, activating The combat module with perfect control skills, with the speed and flexibility that ordinary people cannot achieve, quickly travels between the branches, vines, roots and shrubs of the black forest. It takes more than ten minutes to travel, but he was suppressed to more than two minutes. bell.
Nelson and Jason, who were dragged by him, didn't understand what was going on. They only felt as if they were being dragged by a train. They could only drift in the wind like dry grass and watched the surrounding trees flash by quickly. , unable to make any movement to resist.
When Nelson and Jason felt the drag force of their arms disappear, their feet also stepped on the solid ground, and the surrounding area was no longer a dark forest that was so dark that they could not see their fingers, but a stretch of wheat that could not be seen to the edge.
land.
Although Nelson and Jason had only stayed in the Black Forest for less than two days, it felt like they had been there for two years. The long-lost sky was visible when they looked up, even if the sky was covered with dark clouds at the moment, it would be there at any time.
There were storms and rain falling, but compared to the dark environment of the Black Forest, the current scenery was enough to make the two of them feel comfortable and happy.
Just as the two of them looked up at the sky, Leo sat on the ground, adjusting his breathing, checking the personal data interface, and checking the current status.
The extreme activation of the perfectly controlled combat module just now not only consumes his spiritual energy, but also consumes a lot of his body. So much so that the moment he stopped, his body felt extremely sore, as if
It seemed like the fight lasted all day.
After checking, fortunately, the daily value of will stayed at two points, which made Leo feel a little relieved, and he also decided to find time to let the deputy brain system set a will warning line. Once the warning level fell below, the deputy brain system would let the deputy brain system set a will warning line.
Automatically stops all psionic skills that negatively affect the will.
After that, he checked other personal data items. Although the daily value of each item had declined, the basic value remained intact. The unexpected surprise was that the basic value of agility actually increased, perhaps because of the breakthrough speed just now.
It's 0.5.
At this time, Nelson and Jason recovered from the scenery in the sky. Only then did they remember that Leo had just thrown away his backpack. When they were about to ask Leo why, their eyes involuntarily fell on the tree wall of the black forest.
superior.
"Leo! Look!" Jason pointed to the black forest and said to Leo, who was still checking the personal data interface.
After hearing this, Leo looked towards the black forest and was shocked by the sight in front of him.
I saw that the black forest, which was normal a moment ago, was completely shrouded in thick fog. This thick fog not only covered the black forest, but was also connected to the clouds in the sky. From a distance, it looked like a sea of clouds in the sky.
Falling down like a waterfall.
For the people in the villages and towns around the Black Forest, they have long been accustomed to such a spectacular sight and will not be overly excited, but for the three Leos who saw such a beautiful scenery for the first time, it was enough.
They were shocked.
"Fortunately, you dragged us out, otherwise..." After being shocked, Jason looked at Leo with some lingering fear.
Nelson also asked curiously at this time: "Did you know in advance that thick fog was about to appear?"
Leo did not answer, but stared at the thick fog intently, as if there were some other scenes hidden in this clear thick fog.
Although Leo didn't see it with his own eyes, he could clearly feel that something was watching him in the thick fog, and that thing was using some method to create a sound in his ears that only he could hear.
That sound is like the cry of some wild beast, the roar of thunder and lightning in the sky, and more like some unknown language. In short, when he hears this sound, he can't help but have an impulse, a wave of excitement.
The urge to return to the fog-covered black forest.
Leo knew very well that if he turned on his spiritual vision, he would definitely be able to see what was in the thick fog, but he was also very sure that once he could see clearly what was in the thick fog, it would be like seeing a giant golden deer.
If his willpower drops rapidly, it's probably hard to predict what will happen to him.
Resisting the urge to turn on his spiritual vision and the whispers in his ears, Leo looked at the thick fog quietly, not daring to move his body.
I don't know how long it took, but Leo felt the pressure on his body suddenly disappear. Along with the pressure, there was an indescribable physical feeling, as if something was missing.
At this moment, the thing staring at him in the thick fog had also withdrawn its sight, and no longer continued to make noise in his ears, disappearing into the thick fog.
At this time, he took a long breath, relaxed his tense spirit, and lay on the ground without any image.
"How long have I been in a daze?" Leo asked his two companions who were watching him with nervous and concerned eyes.
"It didn't take long, about ten minutes." Nelson took out his pocket watch, looked at it, and told the time.
"Just now Nelson said it was best not to touch you casually," Jason asked with concern: "How are you now?"
Leo smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm fine."
Nelson next to him couldn't help but be curious and asked: "What did you just see?"
"Nothing." Leo said truthfully.
But it was obvious that Nelson didn't believe it, but he didn't continue to ask any more.
"How many do we have left now?" Jason suddenly asked at this time.
"This is the doctor's backpack." Leo untied his backpack and placed it on the ground.
"Damn it, why is it a doctor's backpack? There is nothing valuable in a doctor's backpack." Jason muttered, kneeling on the ground, opening the backpack, and taking out the contents one by one.
I saw that the most numerous herbs in the backpack were herbs. Herbs carefully wrapped in cloth were placed neatly on the ground. Although some herbs were damaged due to the violent movements just now, the root systems of the herbs were intact and their value was not.
Too much damage.
In addition, there is a special container containing purple crown flowers. This container is made of special metal and is very strong without any damage.
The last item was a complete set of animal bones. Nelson did not know what kind of beast this animal bone was, but one thing he was sure of was that there was no such beast in the animal atlases published by various countries.
"This is the only thing left!" Jason looked at the various items in front of him with a frustrated look and said.
"Not bad." Nelson pointed to the herbs and said, "These herbs are very precious, and the roots are well preserved. If bought to the medical school, they would be worth at least seven thousand gold shields." As he said that, he paused and hesitated.
After a moment, he looked at Jason and Leo with a troubled expression and said, "However, I hope you can let me donate these herbs to the medical school."
Jason shouted in surprise: "What? This is worth seven thousand..."
"Okay." Before Jason could finish speaking, Leo made his decision, but at the same time he added: "That set of animal bones should only cost a lot of money, so I'll compensate you!"
"Forget it! If the animal bones are sold, let's divide them equally! Anyway, it's free money, so it's not too small. At least I haven't seen so much money before." Jason shook his head, a little unwilling to accept it, but he didn't.
Chapter completed!
