Chapter 53 The cry of the forest
The last ray of sunset disappeared on the horizon, but the howling forest was not shrouded in darkness.
The long-lost clear weather caused the clouds in the sky to dissipate at night, and the bright starry sky appeared above the woods. The moonlight covered the earth with silver yarn. After several times, you could still clearly see the unknown flower spikes swaying around with the night wind a few meters away.
"I heard that Yu looked up at the starry sky on a clear night and had the chance to see the shining of a god in the starry sky. My neck was almost hurting so much that I couldn't see anything?"
The telescope taken out of Donald's space ring in Stephanie's hand, raised her head and looked at the stars in the sky, and said as she looked.
"Since you are a zodiac, it's not that easy to see. I advise you not to work hard. If you are so raising your neck, you will have to camp and sleep in the wild later. I guess you will have a good chance of having a stiff neck tomorrow morning."
Compared to Stephanie, who has been looking up at the stars, Anthony mostly observes the surrounding environment and looks for a suitable camping site.
"According to Claremont, there is a tree stump that is nearly 5 meters wide outside the cave, and there are many strange statues scattered nearby. I thought such a strange place was always easy to find, but now it seems that I think it's too simple."
Donald looked at the forest in front of him and found the cave where Claremont said stored the ancient books of the demigod in such a wide forest. It was not easy.
However, this matter must be done. After all, it would be fine if you don’t know. Now that you know that there are treasures hidden in the cave, Donald naturally cannot wait for him to return from the Temple of Justice before continuing.
Thinking about how to find the cave as soon as possible, the group kept approaching the howling forest.
"Let's rest nearby for now, there's no need to venture into the jungle at night."
As we approached, Donald was not ready to move in the Howling Forest late at night, so he just stopped outside the Howling Forest. You should know that there are many strange things circulating in this forest. Although there is no cloud cover and the forest is still bright, it is still much worse than during the day. It is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents.
Next to it was the forest, and there was no shortage of firewood. Anthony took less than three minutes to drag a piece of more than two meters long. One person came back with a thick tree trunk, cut it into dozens of small pieces with a short knife, and easily made a small bonfire.
"You can use these sleeping bags and mats yourself. I will set up a warning barrier nearby."
Holding the magic book in his hand, Donald actually had several ways to arrange the warning array in his mind. It was just to ensure that it was foolproof, so he was planning to arrange several more.
These sleeping bags are the best ones I bought from Delchimon. They are not only insulated, but also thick enough to pump some air inside and turn them into an air cushion bed. It may take some time to organize them, but they are definitely comfortable.
Of course, it's just relatively comfortable.
"Donald, remember to call me when it's my turn to watch."
Stephanie shrank in her sleeping bag, half of her face reflected the fire, and a sly smile on her face. Donald could see that she was just trying to show her concern for the team.
"You and Julia don't need to watch the night. It's enough to have three of us. Let's sleep."
Stephanie's talent was destined to be a scout. She did not have Anthony's night vision ability, nor did Donald detect the powerful mental power around her all the time, nor did she have the perception of Lilo's biological inspiration.
Instead of forcibly letting her watch the night, it is better to let her maintain her energy and deal with other situations.
So in the end, Donald, Anthony and Lilo sat around the bonfire. Lilo was pinching a branch and teasing the flames, and Donald chatted with Anthony and passed the time.
"I just thought about Renas on the train. If I really want to talk about Victor... If we can control Sevit Taros, will the situation be completely different?"
I handed one of the bread in my hand to Donald, opened a can of iron in the package, which contained white cheese. I wanted to keep my eyes open and not sleepy, so I naturally had something in my mouth.
"It's not that easy. Victor has mastered this technology. While I am guarding him, he must be guarding me. He has told me a lot about corpse tools technology before, but he has not said a word about the key core operation method. From this, we can actually see that he is also guarded against us. It is difficult to get a way to control corpse tools from him!"
Donald said, but his hands were not idle either. He gave Lilo a cup of lemon juice from the space ring to Liluo beside him. Then he took out two cups, filled some less sour juice, and used spells to condense into two pieces of pure crushed ice out of thin air and put them in, and then said,
"Besides, to be honest, I don't think it is reliable. It's not that I doubt the effect it can achieve, but that we only know the external probabilities of this technology, how to operate, how to control Sevit Taros for a long time... We don't know any of these problems, which means that even if we master the equipment to control Sevit Taros, we still have to be controlled by Victor and cannot do something once and for all."
Anthony naturally could hear what Donald said was once and for all, and he also knew clearly that Donald had never been a person who liked to let others hold his own hands.
There is no way. I have suffered a big loss because I was in the hands of others, but now I still have to be careful, that would be really stupid.
“There is no alternative?”
"I'm afraid there is no such thing. He is the pioneer of this technology, and he has improved this technology of controlling living people. Even if someone can understand the information, we have no way to get to know each other."
This is the crux of Donald's refusal to work with Victor.
Simply put, if Victor had the intention to kill them, he could do it without any scruples after controlling Sevit Taros, but on the other hand, Donald would not be able to attack Victor, because killing him might cause Sevit Taros to lose control, and things would definitely be revealed at that time, and they would naturally face the anger of the Taros family.
"In this way, it seems that we can only give up the suggestion that sounds tempting by Victor?"
Holding the drink, he reached out to touch Donald, who turned around and took the initiative to touch the lemon juice in Lilo's hand. Then Anthony followed suit and handed his cup to Lilo.
Lilo held the lime juice and wondered why these two people were hitting their drinks.
"To be honest, I really have a special way to let us control the situation without being constrained by Victor."
After taking a big sip of juice, Donald seemed to suddenly think of something, and took out a milky white sphere from the space ring - the fruit of the illusion slime, shaking it in front of Anthony and put it back, then said,
"The price this method has to be paid is a bit high, and I don't want to consider it for the time being."
"Well... I won't talk about this for now. I'll hear you say that the reason why the forest is famous is that there will be some inexplicable crying sounds here at night, why didn't you hear it tonight?"
Anthony heard Donald mention the illusion of the fruit during his journey, and also knew that the fruits were used by Donald when he was using them for some special situations. He no longer studied this matter, but instead took the initiative to change the topic.
"How can I hear every day? In my opinion, the rumors of the howling forest are not without the possibility of spreading rumors. You know, people are more willing to believe what they want to believe than the truth of those things."
With his elbow leaning against the unopened sleeping bag roll beside him, Donald always didn't care much about such unrecorded rumors.
Perhaps it was to refute Donald's disdain that he finished speaking, and a cold wind suddenly blew in the forest ahead.
Woo~Woo~Woo~Woo~
At first it sounded like the sound of the wind passing through the woodland. Donald used the rushing energy to condense a wind shield and blocked all the other cold winds. However, the sound of the wind changed its tone in a short time, and it changed into a tragedy that humans were uncontrolled when they were extremely sad...
The woods in the shadows ahead seemed to have an involuntary terrifying meaning at this moment. Stephanie and Julia quickly got up from their sleeping bags. They were actually not asleep. On the one hand, Donald and Anthony were chatting all the time, and on the other hand, it was because it was wild, so it was not easy to fall asleep.
"Donald, what should I do now?"
Stephanie asked in panic as she shrank to Donald.
The sound of howling in the forest became louder and louder, and even gradually emerged as a tide that came like a wave. Even Donald was a little surprised now.
"Anthony, Lilo, have you found anything?"
There was no abnormal change in his mental power perception, and there were no suspicious creatures in the woodland ahead in the state of spiritual vision. Donald could only turn around and ask the other two.
"No discovery, and no results are your perception?"
At this time, the woodland is in desolate time. It can be seen far away at first sight, but Anthony found nothing.
The same is true for Lilo. Her biological perception ensures that there are no strange creatures around Donald and his group within at least two hundred meters.
"Is it really just a natural phenomenon?"
Donald was not frustrated by not finding anything, after all, so many aliens had not figured out what they had done before.
"I set up a soundproof barrier, and I guess I can't find anything outside. I'll go into the Howling Forest tomorrow and find a way to investigate."
Deep in my heart, Donald had a vague premonition that the strange situation in the howling forest might be related to the demigod.
