Riding a white horse and walking in the wilderness, a long-lost sense of emptiness hits me.
Sylutia's mood is a little light, probably because he feels at ease, as if he has been working overtime for half a year and finally has a happy holiday.
This statement is a bit exaggerated, but she really likes this feeling of freedom.
Different from the situation when she came here, the journey to Mammoth Town only took Sylutia two days, probably because she walked faster alone, whereas before she was following a convoy, so her speed was inevitably limited.
After passing through the desolate and dark wilderness, Mammoth Town came to the border. Sylutia thought for a while, put on the veil that "Bad Apple" had given her before, and then walked into the Association branch here.
"I need information about "Spider Forest"." She took out the previous Woodland Badge as her identity certificate.
"Okay, please wait a moment." Faced with this strange student's request, the person at the counter didn't care. He skillfully pulled out a printed page from the bookcase behind him and handed it to the girl.
"Spider Forest is more dangerous. Do you have a familiar partner as a teammate?" He reminded the girl kindly when he saw that she was alone.
"I know, but I'm just inquiring about the situation a little bit this time." Sylutia explained simply.
Seeing that she was confident and a second-level student, so she was probably not a novice, the staff stopped trying to persuade her.
After obtaining the information, Sylutia first stayed at Mammoth Town. Based on his previous adventure experience with "Bad Apple" and the others, he purchased the supplies needed on the road, including torches, candles, ropes, and simple tents, etc. Then he packed these things and loaded them on the war horse.
Early the next morning, before most people in the town had gotten up, she set off on horseback.
Heading all the way to the northwest corner of Mammoth Town, at noon, Sylutia arrived at the outskirts of "Spider Forest". The paths here were overgrown with weeds. It seemed that no one had come to explore for a long time.
Facing the gray world at the border, Sylutia prepared himself, led the war horse into it, and felt a slightly cold feeling sweep through his body again.
Walking along the river, through the long gray world, she gradually came to the interior of the forest, where she could see traces of some small spiders, and there were many old spider webs among the trees.
The further we walked into the forest, the darker the sky became. It was obviously only about three o'clock in the afternoon, but it was already almost dark.
Realizing that the war horse beside him was a little uneasy, Sylutia stopped temporarily, took out a lantern that had not been used for a long time, hung it on the horse's neck, and then touched it slightly, and the orange-red halo spread, illuminating the surrounding area.
After advancing another few hundred meters, the sky above the forest was completely covered with leaves and spider webs, and the sky was almost invisible. There were also many small white spiders running on the ground, causing the war horses to lift their hooves from time to time.
It seems that it will be difficult to move forward without cleaning up.
Sylutia finally understands why no one has been to this Secret Realm for a long time. Originally, Mammoth Town is located on the edge of the Dark Mist Mountains. It is inaccessible and there are few students stationed there. In addition, the environment here is dangerous and the only output is spiders. Most people are really unwilling to take risks here.
She took off the lantern from the horse's neck again and held it in her hand. As Blossom Method drove, invisible waves of fire spread, igniting the surrounding spider webs.
The fire spread quickly, not only the spider webs, but also the trees began to Burn.
At this time, Sylutia pulled the uneasy horse close to his side and allowed the fire to spread to the surroundings. A large number of fallen leaves and spider webs were ignited, and billowing smoke rose from the forest.
She stood quietly, the emerald brilliance in her eyes flowing, as if she could see what was going on inside through the thick woods.
After about a few minutes, the forest in front of me seemed to "come alive", with many spiders pouring out of it. They were climbing around, densely packed, like a chaotic and seeping tide.
In response, Sylutia once again increased the firepower, and the invisible fire waves rolled and spread, igniting the approaching spiders. The hot air waves lifted up the dead branches and small spiders, and threw them into the air, turning into sparks all over the sky.
The scorching smell filled the air. At this moment, several large gray-white spiders rushed out of the forest. They were completely unaware of the fire wave. These strange spiders were about three meters wide. After rushing out of the fire wave, several pairs of black eyes searched. In an instant, they found the girl standing in the ring of fire, and then rushed towards her.
[White-Stink Spider] (Level 2·Insect Moth): A spider that is good at weaving webs and ambush enemies. When silent, its body and the environment are integrated. It is poisonous. When it dies, its body juice will emit a foul smell, marking the enemy and allowing its companions to pursue it.
"Hiss--"
It can be heard that they are very angry. As they run, their limbs rub against each other, and their shiny black fangs open, revealing their ferocious mouthparts. They are bound to break this strange girl Bite into pieces.
However, Sylutia was well prepared for this. She put down the lantern, took out Radiant Gold Longblade from her waist, ran out briskly, and cut open the attacking spider like an antelope hanging its horns, and its broken limbs were scattered on the ground.
After the green-yellow liquid spilled out, a strange sour smell filled the air, forcing Sylutia to cover her nose to avoid it. Then she easily killed the incoming "White-Stink Spider" again, walking with light steps to avoid the juice sprayed when the opponent died.
Most of the creatures in "Insect Moth" Aspect Power are very weak individually. Even though these spiders and Sylutia are both at the second level, their strengths are worlds apart.
After killing more than twenty "White-Stink Spider" along the way, the forest finally became quieter. Facing the spider corpses all over the ground, Sylutia felt a little embarrassed.
The most valuable thing about these spiders are their eyes and fangs, but looking at the green and yellow sap all over the ground, Sylutia really didn't want to touch it.
Forget it, I don't need these materials anymore.
She jumped carefully among the spider corpses, avoiding the stinking juice. She felt that this process was more difficult than the previous battle.
After killing the surrounding second-level spiders, the remaining First Order spiders were also frightened and fled under the influence of pheromones emitted in the air. They probably understood that there was a very dangerous and terrifying enemy here.
Returning to the war horse, Sylutia held it for a while to comfort it, and fed the guy some food before the white horse calmed down and continued to follow her forward.
After stepping on the white ground after the flames Burn, Sylutia continued to move forward in the woods. She vaguely sensed that there should be a more powerful spider deep in the forest, but the spider never came out. She didn't know whether it was ambushing her or whether it was in a dormant state.
In this way, until the sky became completely dark, Sylutia found a relatively safe location and began to set up camp and prepare to spend the night.
Thanks to the runes she had learned before, she could now set up a simple warning circle to help her be on guard at night. Secondly, she could also rely on the constructed magic circle to prevent her breath from leaking out and attracting enemies. But just as she was lighting a bonfire and cooking tonight's food, a figure deep in the forest slowly started to move.
Eight red eyes of different sizes wandered in the dark environment, like lanterns at night. Its seemingly huge body was extremely silent and made no sound as it walked.
In the middle of the night, an invisible black shadow slowly passed through the forest until it saw the hazy light and shadow of a bonfire in the distance.
