Strange giant tree
Most of these so-called guides are residents living around the Black Forest.
They have their own ways to contact the people of the Black Forest Tribe.
These people were paid well and were quite efficient.
However, they failed to bring back Cody, Valua, Gall and others.
"Brother, I'm afraid your friends are in danger."
Those people told Knox, "They killed the partner of the leader of the Black Forest tribe, and the leader has promised to pay them with their lives."
To put it bluntly, no matter who comes this time, the people of the Black Forest Tribe will not help, no matter how much money they offer.
Without the help of the Black Forest tribe, these guides would be of no use.
Knox had no choice but to return and discuss countermeasures with Anthony to see if there was any other solution.
Anthony and Anita were sitting on the sofa. Knox had rushed back exhausted and was drinking from a glass of water.
These days, the three of them have been feeling a little anxious.
Knox was fine. He wasn't familiar with Cody and the others, nor did they have a friendship of fighting side by side. The reason he was so active in helping was that he just didn't want to see Anrita sad.
In comparison, Anthony has a much heavier responsibility on his shoulders.
Anthony and Anrita sat there, both shocked by the news Knox brought back.
Anita looked surprised. "They said that Gar killed the partner of the leader of the Black Forest tribe? Impossible. Gar is not that kind of person."
Anrita and Gal have known each other the longest, and she trusts their character. Gal would never kill someone for a spiritual fruit.
Anthony also didn't believe it: "There may be a misunderstanding here. We don't know the whole story, so we can't jump to conclusions too early."
Knox said solemnly, "Even if this was an accident, the fact that someone died is indisputable... In short, Gar and the others are in danger this time."
They are also males and have their own wives. They know the importance of wives to males.
To be fair, if their wives were hurt, they would also want to kill the other person. This is an irreconcilable hatred.
Nox sighed: "It seems that we have no better solution now. I hope the Imperial Mecha Team can find a way."
Anthony is not optimistic about this.
Anita sighed: "Even Gar and Valua would get lost in the forest. Even if Charlie came, he might not be better than them."
Anita was silent for a moment, then whispered, "What if Charlie gets lost in the Black Forest too?"
Anthony and Knox looked at each other without saying anything.
Seeing Anrita so worried, Anthony reached out and stroked her belly, whispering, "Don't be sad, dear. Look, the baby in your belly is sad too."
Anrita also reached out and touched her bulging belly.
She thought of the dream she had before, the spiritual deer that brought her spiritual fruit, and the spiritual fruit that was still in the storage bracelet.
Anita suddenly said, "I want to go to the Black Forest."
Anthony: “???”
Knox reacted strongly and immediately refused: "No!"
Realizing that his tone was too harsh, Knox quickly softened his tone.
He knelt before Anita, took her hand, and whispered:
"An An, you can't go. You don't understand the situation there. It's too dangerous."
The Black Forest is called this name because the entire forest is shrouded in thick white fog all year round. The dense towering trees block the sunlight, and once you enter, it is damp and dark.
By the afternoon, the forest was almost pitch dark, all equipment would malfunction, vision was blocked by thick fog, and there were all kinds of poisonous insects and wild animals in the forest that were difficult to guard against.
Even if a strong male orc went in, he might not be able to come out alive, let alone a weak female like Anrita.
Knox looked determined and shook his head, saying, "I disagree, An An, forget it. Just stay here. As for the missing people, Anthony and I will find a way, okay?"
Anthony, of course, objected: "An An, you'd better give up this dangerous idea."
Anita: "..."
Seeing Anthony and Knox's big reaction, Anrita didn't say anything more.
But at night, Anita dreamed again.
In her dream, she stood by the window and saw a towering tree suddenly appear in the direction of the Black Forest.
The trunk is black and extremely thick, requiring almost a dozen people holding hands to hug it.
It has lush branches and leaves and is full of vitality.
The night wind blew, and the leaves on the tree rustled. In the night, the branches sprouted and stretched at a speed visible to the naked eye, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.
The branches of the giant tree continued to extend towards Anrita in the night.
She stood by the window, her pupils slightly dilated, looking at the branches reaching out in surprise, her heart beating faster.
After a while, she suddenly reacted and immediately turned back to look at the bed.
Anthony and Knox were lying on the bed, one on each side, with their eyes closed, as if they had fallen asleep.
Originally, she should have been lying between them, and Anthony's hand should have been on her belly, but now...
Anita blinked blankly, an indescribable doubt rising in her heart, and she couldn't help but wonder whether she was in an illusory dream or a cruel reality.
The scene before her was so bizarre that she was unable to judge for a moment.
I saw the branches of the trees slowly stretching out of the window as if they had life.
They are slender and winding, like nimble snakes, sticking closely to the glass surface and moving bit by bit.
More and more branches came together, intertwining and overlapping, until they filled the entire window without leaving a single gap.
These branches seemed to have a clear goal, eagerly exploring the way into the house, as if they were full of some kind of desire for Anita.
Anrita was shocked by the strange scene.
She hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice and asked, "Are you...coming to see me?"
The only response she received was the rustling of branches groping against the glass.
If anyone else encountered this situation, they would have been terrified, but at this moment, although Anrita was surprised, she was not afraid.
For some reason, she even felt that the tree looked familiar. It gave her a very familiar feeling, and Anrita's heart moved slightly.
She pursed her lips, hesitated for a few seconds, and then opened the window.
Anthony and Knox didn't know when they fell into a deep sleep.
Anthony suddenly woke up from his dream, his eyes suddenly opened, and then he sat up straight in bed.
He subconsciously reached to his side, but all he felt was emptiness.
Anthony's heart sank suddenly.
At this moment, Knox also opened his eyes. He sat up in a daze and looked at Anthony: "When did I fall asleep?"
He clearly remembered that they were not tired at all. The two of them stayed by Anrita's bedside and only talked in low voices after she fell asleep. The topic always revolved around the Black Forest.
Anthony always kept his smart computer screen on to handle affairs. He contacted his subordinates and ordered his confidant Bili to ask the members of the Star Pirates to visit the black market where they had dealings before, to see if there were any runaways from the Black Forest Tribe willing to serve as guides, and the commission would be exceptionally generous.
Many times, official channels are not as well-informed as the pirates'.
Knox suddenly regretted disbanding the old pirate base. If it had been preserved until now, perhaps it would come in handy now.
The two talked for a long time, and somehow they fell into a blackout. It was not that they fell asleep naturally, but that they lost consciousness in an instant.
When their eyes met, panic flashed in their eyes.
The two jumped off the bed and began to search the room for An Lita: "An An, where are you?"
Anthony first rushed to the bathroom, then ran to the living room, kitchen, and bathroom to check one by one; Knox took out his smart brain and kept dialing Anrita's number and sending messages.
Naturally, there was no news.
