Chapter 87 Dark Forest Surge
  The jay's coat color is very beautiful, with a brown chestnut back, fluffy white tail, and bright blue flight feathers as the finishing touch.

But their calls, like those of their other corvid relatives, are hoarse and evocative.

The "screams" in the forest at night are coming from the jays released by Master Humboldt.

Everyone was excited, and Master Humboldt opened his eyes: "Here he comes."

There was a rustle in the forest and the branches trembled. The apprentice and Rorschach released [Light Technique] in the direction of the sound. The ball of light illuminated the trembling vegetation, and then went out without drifting far.

The area around the village fell into darkness again.

Master Humboldt and Peterson raised their oak staffs and paused. The light waves surged again, and the burst of light from [Daylight Technique] was "repelled" by the dark forest.

So he changed his strategy. Rorschach was lightly tapped on the shoulder by Peterson, and his vision suddenly became clear. "[Dark Vision]?" Peterson nodded.

"I don't need it. Under the effect of [Dark Vision], it is inconvenient for me to observe and compare the night and the stars." Cavendish refused directly. He was still a little angry now: "Since you are so powerful, I will continue to do it. It’s the job Master Nuo wants me to do.”

"Leave him alone." Luo Xia didn't bother to care about this guy.

The sound of the leaves vibrating and rubbing became louder and louder, and the frequency of the sound became higher and sharper, converging together like the scream of a banshee.

"I didn't hear that." Rorschach could already see the eyes of the beasts. They were rushing towards the village, their eyes reflecting the light of the village.

"Didn't you hear anything?" Peterson asked at the top of his lungs, and the background sound was a dizzying high-pitched roar.

"None of these animals roared."

Was it masked by the "cry" of the forest?
  No, these beasts are just running and don't even have room to open their mouths.

The wild boar ran straight into the vines and was entangled tightly. Even though the thorns of the thorns were pierced into the flesh, they were still humping, causing themselves to be torn apart.

The red deer, which was taller than a human, lowered its head to show off its horns, pushed away the vine-less horse, and was about to step onto the earth wall. Rorschach and the apprentice each cast spells, and Rorschach successfully froze one, while the others were repelled by the apprentice's missiles and turned around in pain.

Luo Xia looked around and saw that Luzhai and Juma had been smashed to pieces. His own earth wall was still solid and no animals could break it.

Master Humboldt's thorn bushes tied up many frightened animals. Rorschach looked at it from the far earth wall, like a sticky mouse board with a full harvest.
  "They have no intention of attacking us. Now that we have captured enough samples, we will focus on driving them away."

The two apprentices of the Forest Tower and Master Peterson used the [Greaswork Technique] to build a gorgeous "Greased Avenue" along the earth wall.

The animals that were running so fast couldn't hold back their front hooves. They rolled several times on the oil stains and fell solidly against the wall.

Rorschach used his huge [Mage Hand] to twitch, and the fallen Brother Pig spun and rolled to the side like a top.

The animal that was pulled away from the earth wall struggled to get up and ran behind the mage and apprentices.

They were driven away by something behind them, and everyone present realized this.

All the members became more nervous after what they thought was their first encounter with the beast tide, and redoubled their energy to prepare for the following challenges.

Wolf, and lynx.

The forest predator, which was usually a mortal enemy, now completely ignored the opponent's existence and desperately pushed its limbs forward with its tail between its legs.

Rorschach still couldn't hear the roar of the beast, and the screams of the forest became more intense. It seemed to have an entity-like existence, a sharp cone, piercing the ears of those present, piercing the brain from the eardrum, causing pain and pain to the audience. Trance.

In the wash of his spirit, the forest canopy in Rorschach's eyes kept swaying. They were opaque and only silhouetted in the moonlight, turning into black waves.

hum-

The world is quiet.

From extreme noise to silence suddenly, Rorschach heard a slight ringing in his ears. Then came a reassuring voice: "You don't need to panic, use [messaging] to communicate now." Rorschach observed the wolves trying to climb up the earth wall. Due to the previous impact, there were potholes on the wall, which was giving the advantage. The focus of claw climbing. Rorschach would not spend magic power to cast [Stone Shaping Technique] at this time, the price/performance ratio was too low.

He directly rubbed out sparks to ignite the "Avenue of Oil" outside the wall, upgrading it to a "Avenue of Fire".
  Brother Wolf, Brother Lynx, you are going to be popular!

The leader of the livestock raised his head, and neither Rorschach nor the others heard their voices, but it was clear that the animals had received the leader's signal and turned their heads.

However, there were still wolves whose fur was stained with grease and ignited. Master Humboldt glanced at Rorschach, without saying anything, and summoned thick vines to tie up the fire wolves. The plants summoned by the spell were not afraid of flames at all. . On the vines, steam rose up and extinguished the flames on it.

After an unknown amount of time, the second wave of beasts subsided. All the animals captured by the thorn bushes were gathered by the Archmage in one place, still framed and separated by the thorny vines.

He knelt down and reached out his hand to touch the ground. In the field of his "magic control", Rorschach could feel a magic power passing quickly under his feet and plunged into the forest.

"The abnormality has passed." After announcing, the master stood up and at the same time lifted the silence around him.

Everything is back to normal, at least on the surface.

The dark forest no longer surged, and the screams completely disappeared, leaving only the footprints of many animals and traces of fire around the village.

The animals seemed to have returned to normal, and began to make loud noises and noises, as if they were in a zoo.

Peterson instructed the apprentice: "Come and calm the animals in the cages over here and practice."

The apprentices of the Forest Tower got the opportunity to practice their skills. They continued to use [Transform Animals into Friends] and successfully calmed some small animals.

However, all large animals are completely unaffected by the spell. The wild boar keeps using its tusks and nose to dig into the cage. After eating the pain, it tries to dig out the ground to dig out a gap for escape. The red deer uses its big horns, and the wolf uses its sharp teeth to try. cutting vines.

Suddenly, a huge snow-white wolf appeared outside the cage. Its fluffy and thick fur was covered with moonlight, and its bright eyes could compete with the stars and the moon. It looked majestically at the animals below it.

It roared at the dishonest guys, revealing its scimitar-like teeth. All the animals immediately fell silent and stopped making any sound. The wolf lowered his head and whimpered softly, with his tail between his legs to show his sincerity.

While the onlookers were stunned, the White Wolf King transformed back into Master Humboldt: "Stop freezing here, check these animals. If they are not honest, just use poison to paralyze them."

Tonight is over, and I can sleep in shifts without any accidents.

In this way, Rorschach moved closer to Master Peterson and Archmage Humboldt. At this time, Ella, who was responsible for monitoring the villagers and the couple who stayed behind, came to report: "During the beast tide, the two of them did not leave the hunting lodge."

"Did you hear anything?"

A new sound rang out in the deep forest that had returned to silence.

Crying is a child crying, sobbing quietly from a young age, then choking intermittently, getting louder and louder.

Everyone stopped and looked in the direction of the sound.

"My child! It's my child! Abbott! Is Abbott a jerk?" The disheveled woman pushed open the door of the hut and stumbled out of the village.

Rorschach directly used the [Mage's Hand] to clamp the crazy woman. Peterson went over and covered the woman's face with his hand, making her fall asleep.

"Something's wrong, there's something wrong with this cry." Luo Xia listened carefully again. He now felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't grasp the clue for the moment.

"Of course it's not right to suddenly have a child crying in a forest where a beast swarm has just emerged."

"No." Rorschach listened for a moment and finally caught the discordant part: "This crying sound is constantly looping."

Sobs - fits of crying - sobs, then the same sobs again
