"Was that caused by the portal that led out?"
Whispers rippled through the woods as Stone gazed uncertainly at the treetops illuminated by the light in the distance.
It's unclear what illuminated the tree, but it was definitely lit up.
What do you think?
The Two-Horned Lizard responded, its gaze also fixed on the illuminated area.
After hearing what that human said today, it thought getting out would be very difficult! But it turns out it'll succeed on the very first night?
Thinking of this, the smile on its lips widened even further.
only...
"That's why I asked!"
The sound came from inside.
"That idiot..." The Two-Horned Lizard's lips twitched as it glanced over.
"You idiot, isn't that a stupid question? Before, the whole forest was dark at night, but now that I complete a prayer during the day, this appears at night. Don't you think it's the portal from the prayer?!"
"So, it wasn't those Black Rat who did it?!" Stone continued to ask.
The Two-Horned Lizard opened its mouth, intending to refute, but for some inexplicable reason, it paused and replied, "It's not entirely impossible, but the chances are too low. The possibility of it being caused by the portal is much higher! And by a significant margin!"
Shi Stone glanced at Lord Shen Heng beside him, and seeing that the other party did not seem to have any intention of refuting him, he nodded with a lot of relief.
The Two-Horned Lizard also looked at the human, recalling its own reply.
Damn it, am I influenced by this human?
However... well... this should be considered a positive influence, right? It means that my considerations are more comprehensive now?!
"So, all we need to do now is figure out how to get there, right?" Stone continued to ask from the side.
"Hmm," the Two-Horned Lizard replied.
"But... can we make it through?"
Don't worry!
The Two-Horned Lizard estimated the distance from one side to the other.
"Given this distance, even if the trees around us attack as soon as we move, we should still have a good chance of making it across!"
Upon hearing this, Stone's excitement grew even stronger.
"Shall we go there now?"
"E..."
The Two-Horned Lizard opened its mouth, but before it could fully utter a sound, it was interrupted by someone nearby.
"Let's wait a little longer!"
The two Calamity Beast paused for a moment, then looked over.
Qin Yu, who hadn't spoken up or joined the discussion, also turned her gaze over.
"Why?" the Two-Horned Lizard asked.
There was no immediate reply. Shen Heng stared at that spot for a moment before turning his gaze to the Two-Horned Lizard. "Don't you think it's a bit of a coincidence?"
The Two-Horned Lizard frowned and looked in that direction.
I was just having fun before and didn't think much about it, but now that I've been reminded...
"It's quite a coincidence!" it replied, its initial excitement fading considerably. "But didn't you say it was random?"
"The content of the wish is indeed random, but Black Stone Valley is so big, how come the first random one appears near us?" Shen Heng replied calmly.
Silence. No one responded.
"... Maybe we're just that lucky?!" Stone looked cautiously at Lord Shen Heng.
There was no response; Shen Heng stared intently at that spot.
He has never really believed in his own luck.
Of course, it's not that he thinks he has bad luck; he's just average.
This level of luck, and he said, the randomly appearing portal, the first one to appear, was right next to them?
Hmm... Shen Heng didn't quite believe it.
Clearly, none of the people present were entirely confident in their luck.
but...
"It's random. If we don't go this time, it'll be very, very difficult to encounter it again next time, right? Or do you have a way to find where this portal will appear next?" The Two-Horned Lizard turned to look at the human.
Shen Heng paused for a moment, then said, "No."
"Since it hasn't appeared, we should go check it out anyway, right? Otherwise, we'll have to wait until next time and try our luck to see if the portal appears. Are you sure we'll encounter it again?" the Two-Horned Lizard said in a low voice.
Shen Heng did not respond.
He agreed with the Two-Horned Lizard's statement, but regarding this situation...
Turning his gaze back, Shen Heng looked at the several figures around him.
Because she had transformed into a snake- Calamity Beast, Qin Yu's face rarely showed any expression unless there was a significant emotional fluctuation. Of course, when she was human, it was also difficult to see many changes in her expression.
The Stone and the Two-Horned Lizard, on the other hand, clearly showed a stronger inclination to go and take a look.
However, Stone's face also carried a considerable amount of anticipation for his opinion.
The Two-Horned Lizard, on the other hand, seemed to want me to do things its way.
After a pause, Shen Heng's gaze lingered on the face of the Two-Horned Lizard.
"Why don't you take your Calamity Beast and go check it out first?"
"Let's wait and see. Thinking about it now, it's really strange that the portal to the outside world appeared right next to us!" The Two-Horned Lizard slowly shifted its gaze back.
"Laugh..."
A soft chuckle came from the side.
The Two-Horned Lizard glanced at the smirking fool beside it, its lips twitching slightly.
Damn it, that guy!
It cursed inwardly, then turned its gaze to the two indifferent-looking humans.
If the other party is willing to go, it will definitely go with them without hesitation, but...
Let them pass by on their own?
Wouldn't that be using them as cannon fodder to test the waters ahead?
Therefore, in this situation, even though it was the one who said those words, it still made the opposite choice without hesitation.
but...
With some concern, the Two-Horned Lizard looked towards the illuminated trees not far away.
If they were really lucky this time, and they didn't make it across, wouldn't they be doomed? Would they really encounter them again later?... The Two-Horned Lizard was conflicted.
Shen Heng glanced at the Two-Horned Lizard. He had naturally thought of what the Two-Horned Lizard had thought of, but...
His gaze turned solemnly to the dimly lit area.
Is it really just luck?
Also, why not try making both...
Suddenly, Shen Heng paused, his gaze fixed in a certain direction.
Several figures nearby noticed his situation, glanced at him, and then looked in that direction as well.
As night fell, the trees trembled silently at an almost imperceptible frequency.
Then, the tremor rapidly intensified, and eventually...
A deafening, Distortion, and colliding sound came from there.
The Two-Horned Lizard's lips twitched twice as it stared in that direction.
It didn't even need to think to know that some guy had probably seen the portal, and since he hadn't seen any movement from here, he couldn't resist running away on his own!
This made it a little angry, after all, that guy had acted on his own without its orders.
but...
As if struck by a thought, the Two-Horned Lizard's expression softened considerably as it watched the commotion over there.
Isn't this like having a free guy scout ahead?
Seemingly sharing the same thought, the figures present gazed in that direction, at the spot directly pointing towards the faint light.
The trees were swaying.
The forest awoke because of the figure moving through the night.
The rumbling sound grew louder and louder.
Under the watchful eyes of the group, the swaying trees stretched all the way to where the light shone.
Then.
Disappeared...
The Two-Horned Lizard stared blankly at that spot, somewhat uncertain.
"They... escaped?!"
