The air is humid and the body feels cold.
Before he even opened his eyes, Cheng Shi already had goose bumps all over his body from the cool breeze around him.
It’s cold, but not wind-chilled, but rather chilly.
When his sense of smell returned, he smelled a strong stench in the air, like the smell of fallen leaves rotting in a pond.
Under the stimulation of multiple senses, a thought flashed through Cheng Shi's mind:
Rainforest? Isn't this game going to be in the wild again?
When he regained consciousness, he quickly opened his eyes and saw a thick pile of dead branches and leaves under his feet and a forest of half-dead rotten trees all around him.
!!!
Cheng Shi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he blurted out a suspicious guess:
"Underground?"
But he didn't expect that the word "underground" was not said by him alone, but by three or four people in unison.
His heart skipped a beat and he immediately looked around, his sharp eyes constantly scanning his five teammates. His teammates seemed relatively calm, but their slightly furrowed brows showed that they were also a little surprised.
It seems that most people did not expect that a trial of [Prosperity] would be arranged underground.
You have to know that the underground is different from the surface. It is the lair of [Sinking] and the base camp of [Chaos]. These two [Gods] of destiny are the absolute rulers of underground beliefs. As for those respected by life on the surface, to put it bluntly, they are all evil gods.
In a place like this, the will for prosperity is almost inaudible.
It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to complete a mission to protect Prosperity in a place where there is almost no belief in Prosperity.
Cheng Shi never expected that this trial would start with such a big event!
OK, that’s really OK!
The only good news now is that although the teammates look confused, they are not afraid. This shows that everyone’s scores are not low, and it is very likely that this is a high-score game, and there is still room for improvement.
As expected, when everyone was looking at each other, a man wearing glasses and a gray jacket spoke up:
"Twistful Night Python... Guys, our situation is not good."
“The Forest of Sighs!” A long-haired female player frowned and kicked the rotten leaves under her feet. She said with a look of disgust, “The smell of [decay] is disgusting with every breath.”
Cheng Shi glanced at the girl silently. He was almost certain that she must be a believer of "prosperity", not only because her disgust for "decay" was clearly shown on her face, but also because of her long hair that reached down to her thighs.
It is too long, just like the will of [prosperity], growing recklessly.
Moreover, the image of this female player is also very eye-catching. She only wears a fur tube top on her upper body and a pair of ultra-short fur shorts on her lower body. She doesn't even wear shoes. Her hot and primitive outfit makes people feel wild at first glance.
At first glance, it seemed as if she belonged in the forest.
But unfortunately, this is a forest shrouded in [decay]. Even though this is a trial from her benefactor, this place is not very friendly to [prosperity] believers.
The Forest of Sighs is a forest area shrouded in [decay] located in the northeast of the underground world. It is considered to be the most extensive forest in the entire Continent of Hope, both underground and on the surface.
The reason why it is called the Sighing Forest is because there is a fog called [Sighing Tide] in this woodland all year round. This fog is filled with the power of [decay]. Any life swallowed by the fog will embrace [decay] after being completely lost, and become part of this rotten woodland.
The twisted night python is one of the creatures transformed by [Decay].
When the not-so-hot sun rises from the ground, it will turn into the crooked rotten wood in front of the players, no different from real trees; and when night falls, the rotten wood will gradually move, and under the moonlight, it will turn into rotten giant pythons, preying everywhere, and before the next sunrise, it will shed its snake skin and turn into rotten wood again.
The snake skins they shed became the leaves that everyone stepped on.
These rotten leaves will become nutrients for decay, transforming more life that strays into it.
This is the ecology of decay. This is the Forest of Sighs.
"Darkness has just passed the zenith, and there are still about 5 hours until nightfall. I think this time is enough for us to find clues about Him."
"Can you see the dark sun?" The man in the windbreaker and glasses who spoke first looked delighted and looked at the tall and thin man in the feather cloak who had just spoken.
The feathered man nodded, then shook his head and said:
"It looks like our teammates are still a little short of the mark, don't you think, Baldy?"
???
What?
Bald?
Cheng Shi followed the feathered man's line of sight towards the female player with knee-length hair and couldn't help wanting to laugh.
You call this baldness?
Brother, your eyesight is probably...
Wait! That's not right!
The corners of Cheng Shi's mouth froze just as they were halfway curved. His pupils contracted violently for a moment, and he looked at the woman with super long hair again.
The followers of [Prosperity]...are called bald...There seems to be a "bald man using Rejoice" on the leaderboard...The information shared by players in the Mage Channel also said that the Chosen One of [Prosperity] has not yet returned...
ah?
She can’t be!!??
As soon as this horrifying guess came to mind, the "bald man" spat in disdain:
"You're the one who called me Bald?
You stinky bird, watch your feathers, don't let me find a chance to pluck you out."
As she spoke, she casually stretched out her hand and pulled out a twisted python with ease. Then, in front of everyone, she used a ruthless iron hand to pull the bent tree trunk from top to bottom, and pulled out a pure wooden spear on the spot!
