The last rays of the setting sun disappeared on the horizon, but the Howling Forest was not shrouded in darkness.

The long-lost sunny weather made the clouds in the night sky dissipate, and the bright starry sky appeared above the woodland. The moonlight covered the earth with silver yarn. Unidentified flower spikes swaying around in the night wind.

"I heard that looking up at the starry sky on a clear night, there is a chance to see a certain god's seat shining in the starry sky. My neck hurts to death, why can't I see anything?"

Stephanie held the telescope in Donald's space ring, looked up at the starry sky, and said while looking at it.

"Since it is a god, how can it be so easy to see. I advise you not to waste your energy. If you keep your neck up so high, you will have to camp and sleep in the wild. I guess it is not small for you to have a stiff neck tomorrow morning."

Compared to Stephanie, who has been looking up at the stars, Anthony spends most of his time observing the surrounding environment and looking for a suitable campsite.

"According to Claremont, there is a tree stump nearly 5 meters wide outside the cave, and there are many strange statues scattered around. I thought such a strange place was always easy to find, but now it seems that it is me It's too simple to think."

Donald looked at the forest in front of him, and it was not easy to find the cave where Claremont said the ancient books of the demigods were stored in such a wide forest.

However, this matter has to be done. After all, it's fine if you don't know. Now that you know that there are treasures hidden in that cave, Donald naturally can't wait for him to return from the Temple of Justice before continuing.

Thinking about how to find the cave as soon as possible, the group kept approaching the Howling Forest.

"Let's rest here for now, there's no need to risk walking in the jungle at night."

Approaching and approaching, Donald was not going to be active in the Howling Forest late at night, so he just stopped outside the Howling Forest. You must know that there are a lot of strange things circulating in this forest. Although there is no cloud cover, the forest The room is still bright, but it is still much worse than the daytime, so there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents.

There is a forest next to it, and there is no shortage of firewood. It took Anthony less than three minutes to drag a length of more than two meters. He hugged the thick and thin tree trunk and came back, cut dozens of small pieces with a short knife, and easily made a small bonfire. .

"These sleeping bags and cushions, you can use them yourself, and I will set up an early warning barrier nearby."

Holding the spell book in his hand, Donald actually already has several ways to arrange the vigilance circle in his mind, just to ensure that nothing goes wrong, so he is going to arrange several more.

These sleeping bags are the best kind you can buy from Delchimo, not only warm but also thick enough to take some air in and make it an air bed, it might take a while to sort out, but definitely Comfort is guaranteed.

Of course, only in relative terms of comfort.

"Donald, remember to call me when it's my turn to watch."

Stephanie huddled in her sleeping bag, half of her face lit by fire, with a sly smile on her face, Donald could see that she was just trying to show her concern for the team.

"You and Julia don't need to watch the night. The three of us are enough. Let's sleep."

Stephanie's innate ability is destined that she is not a scout. She has neither Anthony's night vision ability, nor Donald's powerful mental power to detect the surrounding all the time, and no biological awareness like Lilo.

Instead of forcing her to keep watch at night, it is better to let her keep her spirits up and deal with other situations.

So in the end, it was Donald, Anthony and Lilo sitting around the bonfire, Lilo holding a branch and stirring the flames, while Donald was chatting with Anthony to pass the time.

"On the train just now, I thought a lot about Renas, really, Victor... If we could control Serveit Talos, wouldn't the situation be completely different? "

Passing the bread in his hand to Donald, he opened a tin can in the package, which contained white cheese. If you want to keep watch at night, you must have something in your mouth.

"It's not that easy. Victor has the technology in this area. While I'm guarding him, he must be guarding me. I told me a lot about corpse technology before, and it involves the operation method of the key core. But he didn't say a word, it can be seen from this that he is also guarded against us, and it is difficult to get a way to control the corpse from him!"

While talking, Donald didn't have any idle hands on the other side. He gave Lilo a glass of lime juice from the space ring, and then took out two more glasses, filled with some less sour juice, and used magic Condensed into two pieces of pure crushed ice out of thin air, and then said,

"Besides, I don't think this corpse technology is very reliable, to be honest, it's not that I doubt the effect it can achieve, but we only know a little about this technology, how to operate it, and how to do it. How to control Serveit Talos for a long time... We don't know such issues, which means that even if we have the tools to control Serveit Talos, we are still subject to Victor, and You can’t do something once and for all.”

What Donald said once and for all, Anthony could naturally understand what it meant, and he also knew clearly that Donald was never a person who liked to let others hold him.

There's no way. I've suffered a lot because of the handle in the hands of others. If I'm not careful now, it's really stupid.

"There is no alternative?"

"I'm afraid there isn't. The creator of this technology is him, and he perfected this technology for controlling the corpse of living people. Even if someone can understand the information, we have no way to know each other."

That's the crux of Donald's refusal to work with Victor.

To put it simply, if Victor has the intention to kill them, then after controlling Serveit Talos, he can do it without any scruples, but in turn, Donald wants to do something to Victor, because killing them will not work. He may cause Serveit Talos to get out of control, and then things will be revealed, and it is them who will face the anger of the Talos family.

"So it seems that the only option is to give up this tempting proposal from Victor?"

Holding the drink, he reached out and touched Donald, who turned around and took the initiative to touch the lemon juice in Lilo's hand, and then Anthony followed suit and handed Lilo his cup.

Lilo held the lime juice and thought about why the two of them came to bump their drinks.

"To be honest, I really have a special method in my hand that allows us to control the situation without being constrained by Victor."

After taking a sip of the juice, Donald seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He took out a milky white sphere from the space ring—the fruit of the Phantom Slime, shook it in front of Anthony and put it back, and then said,

"The price to be paid for this method is a bit high, and I don't want to think about it for the time being."

"Well... Let's not talk about it for now. I heard you say that the reason why Howling Forest is famous is that there will be inexplicable crying here at night. Why didn't you hear it tonight."

Anthony heard about the phantom fruit incidentally by Donald during his travels, and knew that those few fruits were reserved by Donald to deal with some special situations, so he no longer delved into this matter, but took the initiative to change the subject.

"How can I hear it every day. In my opinion, the rumors of the Howling Forest are not without the possibility of false rumors. You know, people are more willing to believe what they want to believe than the truth of those things."

Leaning on his elbows against the sleeping bag roll that had not been opened beside him, he put his weight on top of him. Donald always paid little attention to such unrecorded rumors.

Perhaps in order to refute Donald's disdain, his voice fell on his side, and a cold wind suddenly blew from the forest ahead.

Woo~woo~woo~

At first, it sounded like the whistling of the wind passing through the woodland. Donald used the rushing energy to condense a wind shield, which in turn blocked all other cold winds. However, the wind changed its tone in a short period of time. , the image of change is the uncontrollable cry of human beings in extreme grief...

The trees in the shadows in front of them looked involuntarily with a dreadful look at this moment. Stephanie and Julia quickly got up from their sleeping bags. They were not actually asleep. On the one hand, Donald Chatting with Anthony all the time, on the other hand, it is not easy to fall asleep because this is the wild.

"Donald, what now?"

Stephanie shrank beside Donald and asked in a panic.

The howl from the forest grew louder and louder, and even gradually formed a wave-like situation, even Donald was a little surprised now.

"Anthony, Lilo, have you found anything?"

There was no abnormal change in his mental power perception, and there were no suspicious creatures in the forest in front of him in the state of spiritual vision. Donald could only turn his head and ask the other two.

"No discovery, and no result of your perception?"

At this time of year, the woodland is desolate, and one can see far away, but Anthony did not find anything.

The same is true for Lilo, her biological perception ensures that there are no strange creatures within at least 200 meters around Donald and his party.

"Is it really just a natural phenomenon?"

Donald wasn't disheartened by what he didn't find, after all so many heretics before them hadn't researched it in the Howling Woods.

"I set up a soundproof barrier, and I don't think I can find anything outside. I will enter the Howling Forest tomorrow and find a way to investigate."

In the bottom of his heart, Donald had a hunch that this strange situation in Howling Forest might have something to do with the demigod.

If he remembered correctly, the demigod mentioned in the ancient book that his domain power is about plants, and he once controlled this forest!
