0177 Hunting
The misty forest in the afternoon is colder and more humid than in the morning. It stands to reason that two or three o'clock in the afternoon is when the sun is at its strongest, but for the sky in the happy town, this is not the case.
The sky above the town and the forest has been filled with a layer of gray fog for twenty years. This fog blocks the light, and the sun's irradiation is weakened at any time.
At the same time, the overcast cooling at night will be amplified by fog.
Entering the misty forest, Chen An's memory went back to his childhood. These woods, which looked like ordinary forests, did not feel weird when they first entered.
Everyone walked, even in the initial range, still maintaining vigilance.
Sometimes, the weirdness in the depths will come out, although this is rare.
After walking about two hundred meters, Chen An felt that the air around him was colder and damper. His skin, which was stuffed in the armor, was stained with a thin layer of sweat, and his cheeks were itchy due to the mist.
His whole body was wrapped in thick armor, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, walking at the front of the team.
Ling Qinglin and the muscular monk followed closely behind, followed by Ling Anruo and the middle-aged thin man holding a bow.
The middle-aged, thin man held a dagger tightly in his hand. His boots were very special, made of brown leather with a black awn on them.
Chen An knew that this was a special piece of equipment, which was called a "sealed object" in the town.
While it has strange effects, it also has strange side effects.
Soon, Chen An's iron boots became slippery. After walking 350 meters, the soil under his feet became muddy and muddy, looking a bit like a swamp, like a field of dead leaves after rain, because there has been no sunshine all year round.
When the water has been stagnant for a long time, the dead wood rots and evaporates, giving off a disgusting smell.
When we walked within 400 meters, the sunlight above our heads was sparse, not clear enough and scattered on the swampy ground through the treetops.
The trees here are getting taller and denser.
Chen An vigorously waved the sword in his hand, and then used his shield to push and cut off the vines and low branches that were also blocking the way.
Suddenly, something seemed to be rushing around, causing Chen An to tremble slightly.
Looking carefully, it was a creature with white fur, like a rabbit or a civet cat. Its white skin was stained with mud and water stains on the ground, making it look dirty.
After running over, he hid not far away and seemed to be staring at everyone.
[A mud rabbit... scared me.] Chen An was silent in his heart. He breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking.
"We are almost within the 500-meter range. Guardian Knight, please stay alert at all times."
Hearing the voice of captain Ling Qinglin from behind, Chen An's spirits perked up slightly and he became more vigilant.
When you reach the range of 500 meters, you are out of the scope of ordinary hunting beasts. Ordinary or slightly weird beasts such as mud rabbits, red-eyed foxes, and black wild boars will all be within the range of 500 meters.
Inside and out.
After five hundred meters, Chen An suddenly saw a thin white mist. The mist seemed to be there or not, cold and clinging to his skin. A thin mist appeared on the surface of his silver armor, and there were faint traces of corroded rust.
It seems to be spreading.
At this time, a faint red glow emitted from his breastplate, and an obscure symbol loomed. At the same time, the faint rust faded away.
On the other side, the muscular monk's Zen staff emitted a faint Buddhist light, wrapping everyone in it and resisting the coldness of the mist.
[It’s good to have Brother Gu Lain here... The energy in my inscription is limited, so I can’t hold on for long. Usually, when hunting teams go five hundred meters away, they need to rely on sealed objects to expel the erosion of the fog. Those side effects are too great. 】
Chen An felt slightly relaxed, but his eyes were still looking at the darkness in the depths with vigilance.
Where you can't see clearly, you always feel like something is staring at everyone.
"The targets of this hunt are weird in their infancy. The weird ones that often appear within a range of 500 to 1,000 meters include the 'Swamp Trick', the 'Human Fox Trick', the 'Black-haired Trick' and the 'Wooden Trick'...these weird ones
You’ve all memorized the characteristics, don’t make stupid mistakes!”
Ling Qinglin said softly.
[It seems they were told to me... I have memorized these things by heart a long time ago.] Chen An was silent in his heart [Although Captain Ling Qinglin looks unreliable and speaks fiercely, he seems to take good care of me, a newcomer...
】
"An Ruo, always be vigilant." Ling Qinglin said: "Gu Laiyin, how long can the Buddha light last?"
"An hour is not a problem." The muscular monk Gu Laiyin said gently.
Ling Qinglin nodded slightly, then turned to look at the thin middle-aged man at the back. He seemed to want to call this person's name, but couldn't remember...
Finally, he said: "Assassin, when you encounter something strange, kill it immediately. Do you know the weaknesses of those strange things, right?" After that, he was slightly startled, and then shook his head. The assassin was a member of the old hunting team, he must be.
knew.
"Well, captain, my name is Liu Neng, and I have been in the hunting team for eight years and three months." The thin middle-aged man said calmly: "Don't worry."
Ling Qinglin nodded slightly,
Has it been eight years and three months?
There is indeed always his presence in my memory, but his presence is almost non-existent.
Chen An, who was walking in front, paused slightly.
Liu Neng?
His eyes showed some doubts, and he felt that the name was familiar, as if he had heard it before.
[No...Uncle Liu Neng is from a small town. How could I not have heard of him?] Chen An shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly that he was really mentally a little too sensitive.
After walking for more than 100 meters, we came to a range of about 680 meters. The surrounding fog was a bit thicker, but except for the colder and more damp conditions, the forest was still quiet.
Then, they started searching vertically along the inclined angle.
The weirdness in the initial stage is not that difficult to solve. Although new types of weirdness appear in the misty forest every few years, the most recent "wood weirdness" appeared a year ago, and there are still at least one or two years before new weirdness species appear.
.
Once you understand the rules, it will be easy to solve.
For example, when the "quagmire" appears, bubbles will appear in the mud on the ground. At this time, you can avoid it in time to avoid falling into the trap.
It is also the first strange thing to appear in the misty forest.
The "Human Fox Wei" is a kind of red hair, with the body of a human six-year-old child, but with a strange fox face!
When it first appeared, some people thought it was someone's child walking into the forest, but they were startled when the child turned around.
At the same time, the human fox knows how to discern the fear and uneasiness in human hearts, and will change people's thoughts into thoughts according to their thoughts. This is somewhat similar to the weirdness at night.
The "Black-haired Monster" is a purely destructive monster. Sometimes it looks like a black-haired wild boar, and sometimes it appears like a black-haired gorilla.
There is no pattern, they appear very strangely, and they have different shapes. The common point is that they are all covered in black fur, and when faced with the black-haired monsters, they can only fight head-on.
The "Wood Trick" that appeared a year ago is even more terrifying. Any tree around may be a "Wood Trick"!
At this moment, a little red appeared in Chen An's sight.
He suddenly stopped and said in a low voice: "Captain, in the area of 30 to 50 meters in the direction of ten o'clock ahead, there is a suspicious appearance of hair with the color of a human being."
Hearing this, Ling Qinglin took a slight breath and said: "All members of the hunting team, keep your mind stable and remember that this is a misty forest. Only the five of us exist, and there will be no other humans!
Any human beings other than the five of us who appear will be regarded as strange and abide by the hunting team's rules: 2. When facing strange things, annihilate them with the force of thunder. When facing humans, guard them with sincerity and kindness: 4. Never despair or be confused.
and hesitation!”
At this time, the figures of the five people also stopped.
Not far away, a doll with bare legs and a white skirt seemed to appear suddenly, looming in the corner of the tree trunk.
A burst of mournful and childish crying suddenly sounded.
"Ooooh...Mom...Mom...Mom, where have you been..."
Hearing this voice, Chen An's skin under the cold armor couldn't help but have goosebumps!
"Determine the location of the human and fox, move forward as a group, guard with the guardian knights, An Ruo prepares to shoot, Gu Laiyin maintains his focus, Liu... that assassin looks for an opportunity to attack!
When assassins attack, guardian knights should pay attention to protection!"
With Ling Qinglin's calm command, Chen An felt more confident.
But the palms of his brown leather gloves were still sweating, and his head was buzzing.
After all, this was the first time he faced something strange.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came out in Chen An's mind.
[Wait a minute... Did the captain arrange for one less person? Aren’t there six of us? 】
Just a few steps into the little girl in the white dress, Chen An suddenly stopped, turned slightly and looked at everyone.
His shield faced the direction of the human fox, and his eyes slightly glanced behind him.
The captain, the captain's sister, the muscular monk, the middle-aged uncle, the priest girl...
Counting myself, there are six people.
