Chapter 236: The Alternate Black Forest (1/2)

In the alternate Black Forest of the Soul Real faintly When one stared into the distance, everything ed into aclearly at all

After hearing what Felina had to say, everyone stopped in their tracks and looked around suspiciously

Just as the croas on alert, the strangest noise eed out of nowhere

”Ca ca…Hahahaha…”

It sounded like so…and it sounded as if the ht behind them

Everyone was shocked Link was no exception

Swoosh!+ Clang!

Everyone pulled out their weapons and held thehtly in their hands They stood in a circle with their backs against each other and their eyes facing the source of this bizarre laughing noise

Link cast an Illuh its effect was very weak in the Soul Realhtness of the spell was less than one-tenth of its original and wasn't hter than a firefly

Link tried to i all his attention onto the spell

Get brighter! Get brighter! Get brighter! he chanted in his ht seehter Soon, the h to illuminate an area with the radius of about 20 feet Further in the distance, it looked as if a thick fog blanketed over everything, turning the surroundings into a single blurry picture

”Do you see anything?” asked Link He was looking left and right trying to catch anything out of the ordinary Still, he couldn't find anything

”No”

”I don't either”

”That's strange,” said Felina ”I clearly saw it just now It was about seven feet tall, it had a large head, and itspeed”

”Are you sure you didn't just ion Warrior's eyes?” retorted Felina coldly, displeased with Annie's question

Link believed that Felina sahat she thought she saw

”Which direction did you see it?” he asked If it had been other people who saw the dark shadow, Link would probably suspect that they'd made a mistake But Felina was a Level-7 Warrior; there was no way that she would make such a silly mistake

Felina pointed to a bush nearby that was h

”Over there,” she said ”I saw it stand by the edge of the bush watching me in the corner of my eye But the moment I turned to face it, it ran away”

Link directed the ball of light towards the bush that Felina had just pointed to The area around the bush then became illuminated, and everyone's eyes turned to its direction to observe its surroundings

”I don't see any signs of anyone passing through here,” said Annie a few uys?”

”Me neither,” answered the scouts, all shaking their heads

Things seeer now Based on Felina's descriptions, the shadowy e head and moved at a fast speed It was impossible for someone like that to leave absolutely no trace behind”

”But that's impossible,” said Felina, flummoxed ”I did see it very clearly How could this be?”

Link sensed that soht

He couldn't find any explanations for as happening He'd entered the alternate realame to complete some missions, but each time the journey was brief and uneventful Si quite so odd as the situation they were currently in before

He just didn't knohat to expect here anymore What creatures dwelled in this realm? What would happen to the that they were being watched by some creature, but he had no idea how to deal with it

If they continued this way, Link feared that so bad would happen

Link looked up at the sky again through the gaps between the branches and leaves It was dark and gray, and he could feel a certain pressure which indicated that the Dark Serpent still followed them; it was not that far behind

This completely crushed their decision to use this path to return to the physical realether,” he said after considering it for a while ”Make sure none of us get separated Felina, you walk in front, I'll walk in the back, and Annie, you and the rest walk in the ht contain so theest souls, so they would be the most resistant to that kind of influence It isest to let the scouts walk in the middle

Everyone nodded silently and adjusted their formation, then continued their journey

As they went deeper into the Black Forest, the trees got denser, and the forest got darker and darker If it wasn't for the faint glow that the trees eers stretched out in front of them

Hahaha…Hahahahaha…

Just when they least expected it, the laughter was heard again, and it alave them a heart attack

Soon after, in the middle of the party, a scout called Eric suddenly turned around and stared into the dense forest then shter…” he murmured ”You're still alive! Ally…”

He was about to walk away froroup and into the depths of the forest

The other scouts hurried forward and pulled hi his name
