Old Baal held the map made of animal skin with both hands. His ancestors had exchanged their blood and lives for it.
This was not the first time the black fog around the black forest had subsided. During a specific time, the black fog would disappear for some time, at least three to five days, or at most half a month.
The interval between each time the black fog disappeared was very long. In addition, the civilization of the YosenmanTribe was falling behind, causing the loss of information.
In the later stages, it was passed down word by word. In addition to the appearance of the Zerg, the lifespan of the Yosenman people was rapidly shortened.
Therefore, in Old Baal's generation, the situation in the black forest was only half clear.
Cold Disaster, Undead, Dark King, Assimilation. This was all the information that Old Baal knew. However, the terrain of the Yosenman Tribe in the black forest was very clear.
"We are not in danger for now,"
Old Baal said.
"No danger?"
Brother Wu San looked at the dagger riddled with holes on the ground with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"
"Relatively speaking."
Old Baal's words made Brother Wu San and Xiao Mihu's hearts tighten. If this was not considered dangerous, what would they encounter in the future?
"Roar!!"
Just as they were discussing, a roar came from the distance.
"What... is this thing?"
Xiao Mihu swallowed with difficulty, and the usually cheerful Bobowang also picked up its tail.
"If I'm not wrong, this should be the roar of the undead. Let's go, and then we'll have to face it."
Old Baal lowered his eyes. He knew the black forest better than everyone else, so he was prepared to die.
Although Brother Wu San was a little guilty, he still walked at the front, which was the responsibility of the main tank.
Su Xiao was behind Brother Wu San, followed by Xiao Mihu, Bobowang, and finally Old Baal.
The team quickly went deep into the black forest. It was very dangerous to move forward quickly, but they did not have a choice. Although Old Baal said that there was enough time, they were not afraid of ten thousand.
If the Seed of Origin could not leave the black forest before it was exhausted, even Su Xiao would die. After being eroded for half an hour, he would die every five seconds. What a desperate situation it was.
The team stopped after ten minutes. The reason was that a group of 'Rhinos' appeared ahead.
Although he was not sure if this was a rhinoceros, the appearance of this animal was similar to that of a rhinoceros, but its size was bigger.
There were more than 300 rhinos gathered together. These rhinos were eating the grass on the ground. They looked up from time to time to observe the surroundings, and their ears stood up.
The more Su Xiao looked at this group of rhinos, the more he felt strange. Rhinos have few natural enemies, so they always showed a lazy appearance, but the rhinoceroses in front of him were different.
"Should we go around? This number of rhinoceroses is a little troublesome."
Brother Wu San's suggestion was very reasonable, but Su Xiao directly walked out of the hiding bush.
All the rhinoceroses looked up at Su Xiao and stopped eating. Their big eyes were full of panic.
Su Xiao continued to move forward. If this was Earth, the rhinoceros herd might rush forward.
Unexpectedly, the rhinoceros herd ran away like a frightened deer and had no intention of fighting with Su Xiao.
Su Xiao did not draw his sword or release his breath. He stood in front of the rhinoceros herd with the aura of an ordinary person.
"These rhinoceroses are so timid."
Xiao Mihu also stood up from the bushes with a few leaves on her head.
"These are probably the animals at the bottom of the food chain, similar to rabbits and deer on Earth."
This was not good news. This abnormal ecological environment showed that this place was very dangerous.
After advancing for half an hour, the trees around them gradually became sparse, and a tall stone wall appeared in front of them.
The stone wall was grayish-brown, and the surface was uneven. This stone wall was built by intelligent creatures, and it had only become what it is now after years of corrosion.
This was a ruin, a circular stone pillar half-collapsed and covered the ground.
Walking into the ruins, the few split up to check their surroundings.
"Come this way."
Old Baal shouted, and the few of them moved closer to Old Baal.
Old Baal squatted in front of a low stone tablet. Words could be vaguely seen on it. These words were too blurry, and only a small part could be seen.
"What is written on it?"
Although Su Xiao did not recognize the words on it, he had seen this kind of word. This was the language of the Asians.
"The thirteenth star, cold, experiment, failed..."
Old Baal shook his head, "The handwriting is too vague. I can only recognize these."
The information was useless, and the few of them dispersed again.
Five minutes later, the few of them gathered at the other end of the ruins and continued to head deeper into the black forest.
"What information can I share?"
Brother Wu San was still walking in front, and the boxing gloves on his hands were steaming.
"No."
Su Xiao was always on guard.
"..."
No one spoke from behind.
"Xiao Mihu, Xiao Mihu!"
Brother Wu San called out twice.
"Huh?"
Xiao Mihu lowered its head and looked at Brother Wu San in confusion.
"Did you find anything?"
"No."
Xiao Mihu scratched his head and smiled apologetically.
"Woof, woof ---."
Bobowang barked a few times, and Brother Wu San and others did not understand what it meant.
"It said that it smelled a strange smell."
Su Xiao did a translation for Bobowang, and Brother Wu San and others looked at Bobowang and looked at Su Xiao.
"Why do you hear it 'talk'? No, it calls for meaning."
Brother Wu San and others clicked their tongue in wonder.
"Eyes."
Su Xiao's expression was calm. The meaning of Bobowang was very easy to understand, but this needed to be spent a long time together.
Old Baal, who was at the team's end, shook his head to show that he had not discovered anything.
The small team became unusually quiet. Other than the sound of stepping on dead branches and rotten leaves, there was no sound.
Unlike the dangers they had imagined, the few had not encountered any danger except the first poisonous bug.
At first, they could still hear the roars of animals, or occasionally wild beasts were running around. These beasts had a characteristic: they could not be eaten. They could survive under the corrosion of the source of the black fog, and there were more or fewer toxins in their bodies.
After traveling for four hours, the surroundings were even quieter. There was not even the sound of the wind. It could only be described as a pin drop. In this quiet situation, Su Xiao could hear everyone's breathing.
The veins on Brother Wu San's forehead bulged. The current situation was not as good as one or two beasts attacking. At this time, he was under great psychological pressure.
"F*ck."
Brother Wu San cursed in a low voice, his eyes full of blood.
Under this kind of torment, the team went deep into the black forest for five hours.
"More and more."
Su Xiao suddenly opened his mouth, and the little confused behind him shrank in fear.
"Scared... scared me to death. Don't speak suddenly."
The little confused wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and pressed his chest with lingering fear.
"What things are getting more and more?"
Brother Wu San looked at Su Xiao with blood in his eyes.
"The things around us are following us. Otherwise, why do you think it is so quiet? It is those things that scared away the beasts."
Su Xiao pressed one hand on the hilt. His perception was the weakest, so he was the first to find the abnormality around.
