Chapter 267 Forest of Death
"Jiaojiao, since he's fainted, let's go!"
Lin Feng had wanted to join the battle, but Mo Ran refused to let him, which was why it took so long. The most important thing was that he even woke Jiaojiao up.
"But I don't think he has any malicious intent..."
He Jiaojiao's gaze fell on the fainted orc. For some reason, she always felt familiar with him, but she had never seen that face before.
"Will it really be okay if we just leave him here like this?"
This forest is very deep, and there might be some ferocious beasts without intelligence. What if the orc is eaten by the beast because of them?
"Does Jiaojiao mean to take him with you?"
Mo Ran asked lightly.
He Jiaojiao was stunned. She had not thought about this. She just felt that the beast had no ill intentions.
"Since Jiaojiao is kind-hearted, let's take him with us first and wait until he wakes up."
Without waiting for He Jiaojiao to answer, Mo Ran made the decision for her.
Since Mo Ran had said so, He Jiaojiao didn't say anything more. With Lin Feng still urging them on, the group set off again. The strange orc was wrapped in Mo Ran's tail.
"Why haven't you left the forest for so long?"
He Jiaojiao sat on Mo Ran's head and yawned tiredly. Calculating the time, they should have been in for more than half an hour. According to the speed at which Mo Ran and the others were traveling, they should have left the forest early in the morning.
Mo Ran stopped, and the others stopped as well.
"What's wrong?" Lin Feng asked somewhat confusedly.
"It seems like we've been going in circles in the woods!"
Mo Ran's dark pupils scanned the forest, and he felt a faint sense of unease. This forest was truly strange. To be more precise, it was truly too quiet, so quiet that not even a single bird could be seen.
"This is how to do?"
Lin Feng was anxious and was about to say something, but was stopped by Yuan.
"In that case, let's rest here for a while and ask him when he wakes up!" Yuan said, glancing at the unconscious orc.
Mo Ran nodded, turned back into his orc appearance, and gently put He Jiaojiao down.
In order to wake the orc quickly, He Jiaojiao took some spiritual spring water from the space and wanted to feed it to him. Bamboo Bear looked at He Jiaojiao carefully feeding the orc, feeling a little unhappy, and simply went over to take the water from He Jiaojiao, then roughly pried open the orc's mouth and poured the water in.
"Cough cough cough..."
Unexpectedly, the orc was actually woken up by the water. After a violent coughing, even his beautiful eyes were covered with a layer of mist, making his companions couldn't help but spit on this shameless beast in their hearts for seducing Jiaojiao.
"Azhu, he's injured. You shouldn't be so rude."
He Jiaojiao said as she walked over to the orc and squatted down, asking softly, "Are you okay?"
The orc forced himself to stand up. When he saw where he was, his face turned pale. "Why did you guys still come in without listening to my advice?"
"What's so strange about this forest?"
Mo Ran had a cold face, and his tone revealed a nervousness that he was not even aware of.
"This is the Death Forest. Rumor has it that you can only enter but not leave..." The orc clenched his fists and staggered to his feet. "Didn't I tell you not to go forward? Why... and you brought me in too..."
"How could there be such a strange place? Have you been deceived?"
Zhutian looked up and saw that the trees in the forest were very tall. He had been flying at low altitude and had not had the chance to fly up to take a look. Since it was difficult to get out of the forest, he would definitely be able to get out by flying up.
Without waiting for others to react, Zhutian flew directly into the sky.
But for some reason, when he was about to fly to the top of the tree, a transparent protective shield seemed to appear out of thin air in the sky, causing Zhutian to bump into it without paying attention and almost fall down.
"How is this going?"
Only then did He Jiaojiao realize the seriousness of the matter. According to the orc, this should be a forest similar to a maze, the kind that cannot be walked out of using ordinary methods.
I originally thought that Zhutian could at least fly over, but I didn't expect that he couldn't fly out at all.
"You said this is called the Forest of Death. What else do you know about this forest?"
Mo Ran was still relatively calm. He didn't think that so many high-level orcs would not be able to get out of the forest. It was just a matter of time.
The orc pursed his lips. "I've only been here a short time, and I heard this from other orcs. They say that many reckless stray beasts have entered this forest before, but never left. Over time, no one dared to set foot here anymore. They also named this forest the 'Forest of Death'!"
[System, do you know what this 'Forest of Death' is? ]
He Jiaojiao had no choice but to call out the system to solve her problem.
[Host, the system detects that this is an ordinary forest. However, a high-level ten-star orc lives within. His ability is similar to that of a space, but it is different from the host's space. His space has a certain psychedelic effect, and it can be directly applied to reality. That is why you, the host, cannot leave this forest.]
He Jiaojiao thought for a moment, [Is this similar to a psychedelic array?]
[Correct answer!] The system hadn't expected He Jiaojiao to be so clever, understanding it so quickly.
Is there any way to get out?
Since it is man-made, there will always be a way.
[As long as we find that ten-star orc and have him remove this ability, we can naturally get out!]
He Jiaojiao couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard the system say it so simply.
That's a ten-star, a legendary existence. Her partner is only eight stars at most. Uh... Mo Ran doesn't know what star he is now, and he doesn't know how confident he can be when facing a ten-star.
[System, do you know the location of that ten-star orc?]
No matter what, we have to give it a try. We can’t really be trapped here and die!
[Host, this system can't track him! But what is certain is that he is in this forest.]
Well, if I say it, I haven’t said it yet!
"Aran, what do you think of this forest?"
He Jiaojiao had an inexplicable trust in Mo Ran. She always felt that since he could be so calm, he must have the capital.
Mo Ran shook his head, "I've never heard of this place before."
The implication was that he hadn't thought of any solution.
Lin Feng was anxious and was about to speak, but was stopped by Yuan. Suddenly, it occurred to him that Yuan was a priest and could tell fortunes, so he might have some way to break the spell. So, he excitedly grabbed Yuan's shoulders and said, "Yuan, why don't you ask the Beast God?"
Yuan was a little embarrassed. Was it so easy for him to be a fortune teller in the wind? If he wanted to ask, he could ask. Being a beast god was just as leisurely as him!
