Headshot Wizard - Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Whispering Forest

The Port of Lindong is the northernmost port of the Huqi Kingdom, and it is also a place on the fringe of human civilization. Going further north, a dense and boundless forest obstructed people’s progress.

Many people have tried to venture into the forest, whether it is a shrewd adventurer, a gold-level warrior with superior personal strength, or a nobleman with a large army. However, after these people enter the forest, they will lose their way and eventually either return the same way or disappear in the forest.

It is said that there are weird fairies in this forest. They start whispering in your ears the moment humans step into the forest, until you fall into the environment of fairies, and then cannot extricate themselves.

Lance got out of the carriage at the edge of the forest. After paying the carriage driver a large sum of money, he walked into the dense jungle with a short bow alone.

Seeing Lance’s young age, the coachman also advised him not to venture into the jungle. It is not uncommon for young people like Lance to have a strong curiosity about adventure and mystery, and the coachman kindly reminded him of the possible dangers in the forest.

Lance naturally smiled slightly, declined the kindness of the coachman, and quickly stepped into the jungle.

The trees in the whispering forest are very tall and gloomy. It was early autumn, and Lance felt a chill as soon as he walked into the forest.

That is the unique breath that can only be found in the forest that never sees the sky.

He looked up and found that most of the trees were thirty feet high, about the same height as the outer wall of the Viscount’s castle. These strange branches that shade the sky are luxuriant, with rough bark, and roots are intricately intertwined. They are firmly tied to the muddy ground, and there are hills everywhere.

It is said that people in Lindong Port tried to cut down these strange trees, but the cut trees will grow back soon, and it is said that the interval will not exceed three minutes. The rate of felling is far behind the rate at which the trees re-grow.

Some people tried to cut down the strange woods in this place as timber, but these cut down trees would always disappear in the warehouse of the material dealer out of thin air. At first, people thought it was the thief who was at work, and they strengthened the prevention. But later, they gradually discovered that this is the unique magic of this forest.

Gradually, people subconsciously began to stay away from this mysterious forest, and only sporadic adventurers would enter this place occasionally.

And this forest has been standing lonely in the northern part of the kingdom.

…

Lance walked in the forest for half a day, and gradually walked into the depths of the forest.

As he deepened, he could feel the chill getting heavier and heavier. The temperature detected by the fox dropped from the initial 17 degrees Celsius to about 5 degrees Celsius.

The thin clothes that Lance wore could no longer withstand the gradual cold wave. He took out a few thick clothes from the arcane ring and put them on before barely supporting him to move on.

The road in the forest is very difficult to walk, and it can even be said that there is no road at all. Lance walked among the weird trees, feeling more and more lonely.

In his feelings, it was as if those big trees were whispering, something in the forest was watching him in the dark, but he just couldn’t find the trace of the other party.

Of course, this may also be his illusion.

He continued to move forward, sometimes he would stop and open Hawkeye, trying to observe the situation in the four directions. It’s just that the trees in the forest are too dense, even if the eagle eye is turned on, he can’t get out how far, and the information that the fox can collect is very scarce.

“The teacher asked me to find a man named Hicks in the Whispering Forest, but the forest is so big, where can I find him?” Lance was a little puzzled.

The sky gradually darkened and Lance felt tired. He hesitated and decided to rest.

He picked up some firewood everywhere and set up a fire to keep warm. After eating a little bit of dry food, exhaustion struck in bursts.

Speaking of it, he has been drifting at sea for so many days, and when he got off the boat, he went straight to the Whispering Forest, during which he had not rested well.

Lance felt extremely sleepy, so he put on a blanket and fell asleep.

…

Early the next morning, Lance woke up from a deep sleep. The sun hit his face, exuding a warm temperature.

He rubbed his eyes in a daze, and the next second, he stood up abruptly.

wrong! This doesn’t seem to be the place where I slept yesterday!

He looked around, his face suddenly ugly.

This is the edge of the forest!

Lance shook his head, and was shocked to find that he had walked out of the Whispering Forest at some point. He looked around and determined that this place happened to be the entrance to the Whispering Forest yesterday.

“Is there anyone or some force that sent me out?”

An inexplicable chill surged in Lance’s heart.

Fortunately, this power seemed to harm him unintentionally, otherwise he would have fallen asleep so badly, and he would have died without the power to fight back.

“What the hell is going on?” Lance gradually calmed down. Slowly, he suddenly remembered that after he was asleep, he seemed to hear some weird conversations.

Could someone send themselves out of the forest while they were sleeping?

If so, who is this person or these people?

Lance sorted out his clues a bit, and decided to enter the forest again.

This time, he still walked for a full day without seeing a single figure.

As night fell, he ate something casually and pretended to sleep.

At the same time, he did not forget to take precautions, and secretly let the fox set the alarm clock, if he fell asleep, he would automatically wake up after an hour.

“I don’t believe it, I can’t catch you guys!” Lance was secretly ruthless in his heart.

Who knows that not long after he pretended to sleep, the familiar feeling of exhaustion reappeared…

“Damn, it must be some spell!” Lance cursed inwardly, still unable to resist, and fell asleep directly.

In a daze, he still heard the two people talking.

An hour later, the fox’s alarm clock rang on time, and Lance woke up from his deep sleep, but this time, he found that he was already on the edge of the forest.

He suddenly raised his head and looked into the forest, only to see two dark shadows in the moonlight flying quickly to the depths of the forest whispering.

“Don’t go!” Lance shouted angrily. He got up from the ground with all his strength and ran towards the two shadows.

However, the two dark shadows suddenly accelerated as if they heard Lance’s call.

Lance rushed into the woods, chasing non-stop. It was a pity that his speed was obviously not fast enough, and he was very unfamiliar with the terrain, and it didn’t take long for him to find the trace of the two shadows again.

“Damn… who is it!”

Lance clenched his fists and stopped.

At this time he was already in the forest, and all sides were pitch black. He picked up a few branches at random, ignited them with the flint that he carried with him, made them into a simple torch, and continued to move forward.

The whispering forest at night seemed more and more cold, and although Lance was holding a torch, he couldn’t help but shiver.

What made him even more uncomfortable was that the tree that looked ordinary in the daytime seemed to have added a bit of horror at this time!

The bark of those big trees seemed to start to creep slowly, making a crunching sound.

Lance only felt his scalp numb, and he couldn’t help speeding up his pace.

However, no matter how he walked, he seemed to be unable to get out of this forest. In the darkness, it seemed that a mysterious power was gradually awakening.

In Lance’s eyes, it seemed that every tree was weird. Their bark is still rough and old, but there is a vague vigor, as if it suddenly came to life.

“Fox, can you detect anything?” Lance shivered constantly.

The main chip quickly scans and runs: “Master, this forest exudes a strong smell of magic factors. And there is a special kind of fluctuation-the aggressiveness of this fluctuation is almost comparable to that of light radiation, right. People or creatures that break in are dangerous.”

“As for these trees, I can only detect that their bark tissue is rapidly metabolizing…”

“Very fast, about the rate of normal tree metabolism…”

“A hundred times!”

Lance was taken aback, and these big trees were really weird.

At this moment, a cold wind suddenly came from behind him.

“puff!”

Under the cold wind, the torch in Lance’s hand almost didn’t go out. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and blocked the torch behind him.

“Hehehe…”

Low laughter rippled in the forest, and Lance felt only a tingling scalp.

He slowly turned around, but saw a terrifying face!

That face actually grows on the big tree behind him!

“What!” Lance was taken aback and took two steps back.

However, at this moment, the branches that had been quietly buried on the ground suddenly came back to life.
