Chapter 195: Strange "Little Red Riding Hood"
Although the little puppet jumped very high, Yu Sheng was actually serious.
The experience comes from the process of eating the hungry entity and the feeling of devouring and fusion when in direct contact with the "deep body" of the hungry entity.
He knew that what he "ate" would essentially be devoured and fused by himself, which was more effective and faster than any sealing or transfer measures. If the angel's umbilical cord really caused the premature activation of "Ankaela", then opening the door and throwing it out would not necessarily cut off its connection with the "body" - but eating it would definitely work.
Of course, there are risks involved. After all, the Angel Umbilical Cord is different from the Hungry Entity. Although the latter is also greatly enhanced by the influence of the Dark Angel, it is only an "influence" after all. The Angel Umbilical Cord and the Dark Angel named "Ankaela" obviously have a closer connection. If this thing is really eaten...
May cause indigestion.
But it doesn’t matter, Yu Sheng thinks it can be done - he always believes in his own thoughts.
The worst that could happen if his plan failed was to consider it as suicide - he also believed in his own suicide.
When Irene saw the expression on Yu Sheng's face, she knew that she would not be able to stop him from coming up with his creative ideas. Once this guy came up with an idea, he would definitely execute it. So she could only sigh resignedly and look up: "Okay, people with good appetites usually have good luck - when are we leaving? Now?"
"Yes, now," Yu Sheng nodded and turned to look at Hu Li, "Get ready, come with me to the Black Forest."
At this point he suddenly remembered something, frowned and looked towards the balcony: "Uh... your tail is still hanging here..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw from the corner of his eye that a bunch of spare tails grew out from behind Hu Li with a "buzz". The fox girl smiled happily: "I still have a lot~"
"...Okay, I almost forgot about this," Yu Sheng raised his hand and slapped his forehead, "Okay, let's go now - Irene, open the door."
An illusory gate appeared out of thin air, and then dark threads grew and entangled like thorns, and a gate leading to the Black Forest opened.
Yu Sheng held the wooden box containing the angel's umbilical cord in one hand and his terrifying tetanus stick in the other. The moment he stepped through the gate, he could smell the familiar chill and faint wolf howls. He calmed himself, raised his head and glanced at the sky in the Black Forest. He saw the dusk glow spreading along the gaps between the treetops, casting large patches of mottled light and shadows in the woods.
The Black Forest seems to be always in a cycle of two times - either a long dusk, or the dim state of just after nightfall with a little light left.
According to experience, the Black Forest is relatively stable at dusk. After nightfall, the wolves in the forest will suddenly become active, and the vicious wolves will basically only appear at night.
Hu Li's big ears twitched, and she turned sensitively to the direction of any movement. She sniffed again, judging the faint flow of air.
"There's no scent of wolf nearby yet," she whispered. "The source of the sound is very chaotic, and it's sometimes far away and sometimes near."
"Before the wolf pack was actually formed, these 'sounds' could basically be regarded as the 'background sounds' of the Black Forest." Yu Sheng said casually.
Ailin looked at the thing in Yu Sheng's hand nervously: "Hey, is there any movement with this thing?"
Yu Sheng took a look at the wooden box containing the "Angel Umbilical Cord" in his hand and opened it slightly.
The umbilical cord still lay quietly on the red velvet cloth, still looking shriveled and dead.
"No reaction for now," he shook his head, "If I must say... I can always hear the sound of a baby crying, very faint, as if it comes from deep underground, but this should have nothing to do with the 'umbilical cord' itself - I've been able to hear this sound since the last fight with that giant wolf grandmother."
"A baby crying?" Irene frowned. "Well, Hu Li and I can't hear it."
Yu Sheng carefully closed the box, put the tetanus stick aside temporarily, and reached into the other pocket.
A bullet with a strange spiral tip appeared in his hand.
"This bullet has no effect for now," he said softly. "Let's go deeper into the forest and see if we can find the cabin. But Little Red Riding Hood hasn't entered the Black Forest yet, so Grandma Wolf may not show up, and neither will the hunter... Anyway, let's go check out the situation first."
The group walked cautiously into the depths of the Black Forest, while searching for the light of the "trail" in the mottled light of dusk.
Hu Li volunteered to walk in the front. Except for one storage tail that could not be used, she released the other eight tails. These fox tails surrounded by faint fox fire made a slight buzzing sound and floated flexibly around the team, pointing vigilantly in a certain direction in the forest from time to time, ready to shoot at any time if the situation was not right.
Yu Sheng found this scene quite interesting and asked casually, "I wanted to ask before, is this trick of yours called Fox Carrot Drone?"
The fox girl said seriously: "It's the Fox Cannon - this is also the name Irene gave it."
Irene immediately raised her face with pride - although Yu Sheng didn't know what she was proud of.
Then they walked deeper into the forest for an unknown amount of time, and Yu Sheng suddenly stopped.
Irene, who was sitting on his shoulder, immediately asked curiously, "Hey? Why aren't you leaving?"
"Something's not right," Yu Sheng frowned, "How long have we been walking here?"
"It's been... quite a while, right? I didn't even notice it," Irene scratched her hair, "What happened?"
"...We haven't seen the 'trail' yet, nor have we seen the shelter hut," Yu Sheng said in a deep voice, "but according to the rules of the Black Forest, after entering, as long as we walk forward for a distance, we should soon see the first trail."
"Now that you mention it, benefactor... it seems so," Hu Li also reacted at this time. She looked around vigilantly, her eyes with a faint golden glow scanning the shadows in the forest. "And I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that the Black Forest today is different from the ones I've seen before... I can't tell why, maybe it's the atmosphere?"
Yu Sheng's heart sank, and he subconsciously glanced at the wooden box in his left hand.
Is it because of the "Angel Umbilical Cord" inside? Is it interfering with the operation of the Black Forest? Or is there some other reason...
"The squirrel didn't show up either. Normally, as a 'guide', it should be the first to show up."
Yu Sheng muttered to himself and casually put the tetanus stick on his shoulder.
Irene immediately grabbed his neck and threw him backwards, then made a big turn from Yu Sheng's back and climbed onto his other shoulder.
The little puppet cursed: "I knew you were going to do this. Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise I would have beaten you to death with a stick sooner or later..."
Yu Sheng turned his head in astonishment and glanced at the puppet on his shoulder, wondering when this guy had developed such excellent body skills. But before he could open his mouth, a slight rustling sound suddenly came from behind the nearby bushes.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Is it a squirrel? Yu Sheng and the others immediately looked in the direction of the sound. However, a moment later, what appeared in their eyes was not the familiar squirrel, but a girl in red with a nervous face who seemed to be avoiding something.
Long hair, thin, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with an unfamiliar face - not the "Little Red Riding Hood" that Yu Sheng knew.
Yu Sheng and his group were stunned for a moment.
"Another" Little Red Riding Hood?! Yu Sheng looked at the strange girl who came out from behind the bushes in astonishment. He was stunned for two seconds before taking a half step forward and tentatively greeted her: "Um, hello, you are also from the 'Fairy Tale' organization..."
He stopped mid-sentence, frowning.
Because the girl in red in front of him didn't even look at him, and it seemed that she didn't hear what he said at all.
She just bent her body carefully, and scanned other parts of the forest vigilantly, as if she was avoiding invisible wolves, but she was completely unaware of the three strangers right in front of her.
Hu Li reacted and tugged at Yu Sheng's sleeve: "My benefactor, she seems to be unable to see us?"
Yu Sheng frowned: "It seems so."
And at this moment, the strange "Little Red Riding Hood" suddenly moved again.
She seemed to suddenly sense some dangerous aura, looked in a certain direction nervously, and then ran away!
Yu Sheng immediately reacted when he saw this, carrying Irene and chasing after her: "Follow her!"
In this way, the strange "Little Red Riding Hood" ran in the forest, and Yu Sheng, Irene and Hu Li followed closely behind her. At the same time, the howling of wolves sounded one after another, filling all directions, as if they were very close - when the sound was closest, Yu Sheng even felt that he had smelled the scent of the wolves, felt the bloody and malicious breath, and even felt that the wolves' sharp teeth and claws were sweeping past him.
However, when he looked around, all he could see were the shadows of the forest.
The wolves gathered and were chasing the strange Little Red Riding Hood in front of them - but Yu Sheng couldn't see them.
The girl in red who was running ahead gradually slowed down. She seemed to have run out of strength and her steps were visibly staggering.
But at this moment, an open space suddenly appeared in the direction of her escape.
A small wooden house that seems a little out of place compared to its surroundings stands quietly in the open space.
The moment he saw the cabin, Yu Sheng's expression froze.
There was no light in that wooden house.
However, the girl in red, who was almost out of strength, seemed to have no choice - she was stunned for a moment after seeing the cabin, and then rushed in without hesitation.
