As a Sword Saint, I Want to Be a Demon King

These branches have just helped him destroy the monster, but now they block his way;

Was it just a coincidence before?

"Are they trying to tell me... that I can't go east?"

Suddenly she had a flash of inspiration and woke up.

So she changed her direction and headed northeast instead.

This time, those trees really didn't stop her anymore, they put away their branches one after another.

As time went by, the forest gradually became dark and dull.

The road ahead became more and more difficult to see clearly, and the strange noises around gradually increased.

From time to time, a long roar came from a distance, blowing into her ears along the wind.

It seemed that something evil was wandering in the forest. After night fell, there were strange calls one after another, and there were even a few mournful howls.

"What the hell is this place?"

The silver-haired girl walked forward tremblingly, and soon her vision was completely darkened.

She wanted to use magic to ignite the lights, but she chose not to anger the trees because of the tragic death of the hippo monster.

Flame has always been the natural enemy of plants, and she can't guarantee whether the forest will continue to be friendly to her after lighting the fire.

Unlike her prudence, the magicians of Farnes suffered a lot.

I haven't felt anything during the day, and everything seems to be normal.

At night, they built a bonfire in the clearing.

Not long after the bonfire was lit, white mist suddenly appeared in the forest.

These fogs became thicker and thicker, and finally people could only be seen near the fire, and everything else became a blur.

"It's often like this in the Willow Forest."

Seeing his companion panicked, a magician smiled and comforted him:

"It's nothing strange... ah!!"

Suddenly a vine sticks out from the thick fog and hangs him upside down!

"Be careful! There are enemies!"

The person sitting next to him immediately released a wind magic, cutting off the vine.

"Quickly put out the fire!"

The calm old magician suddenly remembered something, and released a water ball towards the bonfire:

"Don't attack! It's not the enemy, but the trees are warning us!"

"Chichi..."

The fire was quickly extinguished by everyone.

After the flames died down, the restless trees around them became quiet again.

After a while, the thick fog around him also became much thinner, and the surrounding scenery could already be seen.

Standing by the extinguished bonfire, the magicians looked at each other.

"What the hell was it just now?"

The magician who was attacked by the vines asked with a pale face.

"Most trees don't like fire."

The old magician replied in a low voice:

"It's just that the trees we've seen before won't resist...but it's different here."

"Are they dryads?"

Ellie Emerald asked with a frown.

"It's not a dryad, it should be an older species."

The old magician squatted down and picked up the vine cut off by the wind blade:

"They manipulate everything in this forest, including animals and plants."

"Of course... except for those crows we encountered when we came down."

He put the vine back on the big tree next to him, and said to everyone:

"We broke off some branches during the day to make messenger whistles, and we have already offended them, so it is best to continue on our way at night and not stay here for long."

Everyone dragged their tired bodies and began to move forward into the depths filled with fog.

The mist seemed to be alive, constantly wrapping around them, blocking their sight.

After they passed by, they closed quickly again, always enveloping them.

"I can't get my bearings."

The magician in charge of finding the way whispered:

"Do you want to fly to the sky to see?"

"It's the time for crows to come and go at night, are you desperate?"

Ali Emerida said in a deep voice:

"And this forest doesn't like strangers, they will always stare at us, it's best not to make eye-catching behaviors."

"Yes, I've heard that too."

The magician behind her whispered:

"They'll even walk on their own, changing the layout of the forest until they trap their hated guy inside."

"Don't think so much, if you really push us, we won't be easy to mess with."

"—Don't just pay attention to those trees and crows, there are rumors that there are ghosts here."

Everyone walked and discussed:

"Do you know how the name of the Ghost Fire Forest came about? It is said that there used to be an old witch..."

After going deep into the forest, the atmosphere gradually became depressing, and the voices of the magicians became much quieter.

They are all very powerful people, and they all feel some kind of mysterious pressure.

"Damn!"

A magician tripped over a tree root.

When he got up, he was a little irritable and kicked the tree root hard.

As a result, the tree suddenly split open in the middle and swallowed him whole like a big mouth!

"Hurry up and save people!"

The magicians were shocked.

They remembered the previous lesson and did not dare to use magic attacks.

Instead, he hurriedly dragged his companion out of the big tree.

At this time, the unlucky magician had lost consciousness, his face and body were covered with green sap, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

"—Again, don't make any conspicuous gestures!"

Ally Emerald doused him with water magic and yelled at him.

"I...I know."

The magician replied weakly:

"Next time I will pay attention."

After this incident, they found themselves again in a fog of whiteness.

As long as the distance exceeds three meters, it is completely impossible to see the scenery clearly, and completely loses its direction.

Not only that, but the place they just walked will appear in front of them again, making everyone feel that the route is constantly shifting.

The memory of magicians is very strong.

But whenever they want to go to the direction they think is correct, the road will become extremely difficult, and all the trees and plants with spikes will block the front, forcing them to move to the side.

"It can't go on like this."

Ali Emerida was the first to notice this situation, and immediately stopped everyone:

"The forest is holding us back and there has to be a way to deal with that."

"Who among you has research on wood magic?"

She asked everyone.

"I."

The old magician replied:

"But I have tried to communicate with the forest just now, and the trees don't respond to me at all."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Maybe they already consider us the enemy."

Allie Emerida sighed:

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't proposed a method of finding people by the sound of the flute, we wouldn't have..."

"Now is not the time to be held accountable."

A magician said:

"Since you can't tell the direction, I think it's best for everyone not to wander around, and you should wait until dawn before setting off."
