Chapter 4 04: [Silent Forest] Illusion(1/2)

Author: I really want to eat meat 597

A pitch-black chicken covered in curses.

In the eyes of Anji, who had just finished dealing with the silver wolf, it looked a bit funny.

She didn't know what expression to use to face this weak chicken, because in the depths of the forest, the appearance of such a chicken that was obviously a domestic animal meant...

This is the chicken they left behind before.

Thinking of this, a trace of pity appeared in her heart: Even if you are my enemy, I will defend your right to revenge.

So Angie held her beloved scabbard and silently moved behind Scott. The chicken opposite pointed at Scott with her finger.

The confusion in Scott's heart only lasted for a second.

Because in the next second, the chicken's only eye that was not covered by the curse glowed fiercely, and it looked directly at him, even showing an emotion similar to resentment.

The meaning of Angie's mysterious operation is: Scott is the culprit. If you want to cause trouble, please go to him.

Facts have proved that even in this forest where no sound can be made, there are ten thousand ways to betray your companions.

Scott turned his head and glared at Anji behind him, only to find that Anji had already retreated three meters away.

Facing the chicken covered in curses, the knight picked up his sword and prepared to fight.

Although the chicken's movement is very agile, in the face of absolute strength, all this is in vain.

After ten rounds, Scott took the chicken harmlessly and cut it into pieces.

Then, he looked at Anji who was standing aside. He saw that the girl showed that honest smile that he was very familiar with.

Forget it. We can't really hit her.

After some mental struggle, Scott sat back by the fire a little depressed, throwing branches into the fire and thinking.

Although burning flames will attract dangerous creatures in the dark alien forest, it is even more dangerous to move forward with fire.

Moreover, the sudden appearance of a strange situation in the Gloucester Territory can be said to be an unprecedented and terrifying situation. In this case, there is a high probability that Lord Slade will come here in person, so that they can be rescued.

For various reasons, Scott decided to stay where he was temporarily and wait until dawn before taking action.

The small fire burned quietly.

It could only illuminate a five-meter radius around them. Beyond the firelight, there was endless darkness.

Fortunately, the most in this forest are dead branches and leaves, enough to burn until dawn.

After some time, Anji started to feel sleepy.

Originally, she had been on high alert, constantly observing her surroundings, for fear that other mutated creatures would appear in the darkness.

But this forest is dark and quiet, which is good news for insomniacs.

She pinched her thighs hard, trying to stay awake, but her body became heavier and heavier.

Strong tiredness gradually took over the whole body.



Anji woke up slowly to the sound of the crackling fire.

It is daytime now. The clear morning light shines into the forest, and the faint chirping of birds comes from the distance. It seems that everything is back to normal.

Has the curse in the forest faded?

She immediately looked up in Scott's direction, wanting to share the good news with him.

There was no one around.

Was it because the forest had returned to its original state that he left...

Angie rejected the idea the moment it came up. According to her observations, Scott would not leave his teammates behind for no reason.

Although the bearded uncle's impression of her should not be much better.

At this moment, Anji felt something itchy on the right side of her neck. She subconsciously touched that area and felt that her hand touched something cold and sticky.

She retracted her hand stiffly.

The hand was covered in black liquid, and the liquid was squirming.

The moment she saw this picture, Anji felt as if her body was frozen by an invisible force, her mind went blank, and she even forgot how to breathe.

But she quickly reacted and tried her best to throw her hands out. But the black liquid seemed to be growing on her hands and she couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard she shook it.

Immediately afterwards, Anji felt a cold feeling all over her back and neck, as if something was dripping from the tree above her head onto her body.

Anji gritted her teeth, suppressed the fear in her heart, and looked up.

From the surging black liquid, a man's pale face appeared, resting on top of her head.

This is Scott.

His body was nowhere to be found, his dull pupils were dilated, his mouth was still slightly open, and his whole face was filled with a strong sense of despair.

These black liquids turned out to be elastic. They wrapped around Scott's head, slowly hung down from the high branches, and stayed five centimeters away from her.

The girl didn't scream, she just stared blankly at the face in front of her, forgetting that her right hand was still soaked in black water.

Her first reaction was not fear, but confusion.

She didn't know the way, she was still a little injured, and there should be more unknown dangers hidden in this forest. If even the experienced Scott died here, how would she get out of this forest?

?

While the girl was deep in thought, the corner of her eye caught the black hair hanging down beside her face.

This abnormal phenomenon made Anji's inner uneasiness instantly lessened a lot.

She walked to the clearing where they had been writing last night. It was already covered with new fallen leaves.

Gently push aside the leaves to reveal the land below.

The soil there is extremely smooth and there are no traces of writing.

Anji snorted disdainfully and was not surprised.

According to Scott, this should be a second- or third-level foreign land, because there are creatures mutated by the curse, and neither of them have any physical abnormalities.

But what if the level of the alien world changes, or their initial guess is wrong?

As she thought, she twirled the familiar black hair with her hand. This body now was clearly her original body - Chi Qingsui's body.

The number of bugs in this fantasy world is ridiculous!

Since she had just traveled through time not long ago, she was not familiar with this body at all.

And this illusion is most likely a one-to-one reproduction of what she subconsciously thinks of her own body.

Therefore, as Anji, she now appears in the fantasy world as Chi Qingsui.

At this moment, a sense of pain suddenly came from her body, like a weak electric current, rushing through her body.

Is this also an illusion?

Warm liquid flowed down from her nose. Anji subconsciously raised her hand and wiped it there with the back of her hand, but there was no wet touch as expected.

After a brief daze, she wiped the area above her lips with her hand again. The skin there was dry and soft, and everything seemed normal, but the liquid was pouring out of her nose uncontrollably and slowly flowing into her mouth.

The feeling is so real.

Therefore, the contradictions all point to one conclusion - at this moment, something is abnormal in her body in the real dimension.

"...What should I do? I don't know how to relieve the hallucination at all."

If his hallucination was solved by taking advantage of the time traveler, would Scott be in danger at this time?

Thinking of this, Anji began to become restless. Moreover, the moment she woke up, she discovered that her precious sword scabbard was missing!

"He nnd, you don't do any of the things that people do."

After expressing her inner depression with the quintessence of Chinese culture, Anji glanced at her right hand, which was covered in black liquid, and checked her whole body again.

According to the previous fight with the silver wolf, the black liquid should have devoured the body very quickly.

But until now, apart from nosebleeds and small pains in my body, I haven't had any obvious abnormalities.

Could it be because...she doesn't know what will happen to people who are corrupted by the curse?

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, Anji directly put her right hand into the fire and silently recited: "Fire can purify everything, fire can purify everything!"

I saw thick smoke immediately coming out of the black water on my hand, and it kept making sizzling sounds, as if it was struggling in pain.

Although some heat was transferred to Anji's hand, it was not very hot - this level of pain could still be endured by gritting one's teeth.

Within a few minutes, the black curse completely disappeared.

I don’t know if this world is really idealistic, or if the curse is really that I am afraid of fire.

After this bold attempt, she enthusiastically picked up a wooden stick, borrowed a fire from the fire, and pointed the flame at the long string of black liquid hanging on Scott's body.

She stood on tiptoes hard, trying to keep the flames as far away from Scott's head as possible. Even if this was not the real world, she was unwilling to hurt this kind-hearted knight.

The curses were originally stretched extremely thin by the weight of the head, but now they were burned by the fire and were quickly broken.
To be continued...
