Chapter 76 Forest (First Update)
Chapter 76
The battle line of the furnace was like a sharp blade, piercing fiercely into the Green Island Forest and splitting a path leading to the depths.
Groups of Forge Apprentices walked through the forest, and Lynn was among them, following the cleared path and heading deeper into the Green Island Forest.
The surrounding forests were still towering, but it was completely different from when Lynn first arrived here.
At that time, the trees were so densely covered with branches and leaves that they almost blocked out the sun, like a natural canopy that completely blocked out the sunlight and sky.
But now, the branches and leaves of these trees seem to have withered a lot, and the forest looks more sparse than before, having lost its former vitality. The branches and leaves that were originally intertwined can no longer block the sunlight.
The big sun in the sky can shine its light down and illuminate the scene within the forest.
The road ahead was unusually wide, surrounded by broken trees and dead branches.
There was a brass bracelet wrapped around Lynn's wrist, emitting a hazy glow.
"It's the damn furnace contract again. Astrid forced us to do the same thing back then..."
Lin En's face was gloomy. This was the second time he was forced by this damn master-servant contract.
He had finally maxed out his potion master's progress and resonance progress, and was about to try to repair the auxiliary potion and test the effect of the resonance.
Suddenly, I received an order from the furnace to be forced into the battlefield...
One can imagine how Lin En felt.
He made up his mind again and again that if he could get away from this place, he would find a way to terminate the master-servant contract.
A long team was moving towards the depths, but after a while, the figure of a wizard apprentice disappeared in the team.
Therefore, after walking a distance forward, most of the apprentices in Lin En's team had disappeared.
Lin En was not surprised by this. He knew before he came in that this was the second level formation deep in the forest.
"Haven't you been pulled in by the formation yet? It seems like there aren't many people left..."
Lin En muttered to himself and looked around. The originally crowded team now seemed empty, with only a pitiful number of people left.
Suddenly, his eyes focused and he saw a familiar figure - it was the "birdman" with whom he had exchanged information.
The owl on the other's shoulder seemed to have noticed Lynn's gaze. It pecked the apprentice's hood with its beak, and the apprentice turned around and looked at Lynn.
"You? The guy who bought the pirated potion."
The apprentice's tone was direct and sharp, and he actually revealed Lin En's identity right away.
Lin En narrowed his eyes slightly. He remembered that he had deliberately concealed his identity at that time, but the other party seemed to have a unique way to remember him accurately.
Now, the other party has also come to this battlefield...
"What? Are you surprised? Protecting the furnace is our basic duty... hehe..."
The birdman apprentice smiled disdainfully, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
When Lin En heard the other party say this, he knew to some extent that the other party did not enter on his own initiative, but was forced in just like him.
Because the "obligation" that the other party just mentioned was actually the order issued by the wizards in the furnace not long ago.
In order to protect the furnace, these apprentices have to explore the situation inside the Green Island Forest, and this is the most basic duty of these apprentices...
"Is there any information here?"
Lynn had done some research before, but he discovered something puzzling: no relevant intelligence had been released.
In other words, there was indeed information leaked, but the price was extremely high and had to be exchanged for military merits.
However, Lin En had no military achievements, so naturally he failed to obtain any intelligence.
The birdman apprentice shook his head and sneered:
"You can ask this question, so you must have never been inside, right? In that case, considering our previous deal, I'll give you some information for free. Those damn apprentices all want to gain merit on the battlefield, so everyone keeps the situation and experience inside a secret..."
Lin En thought for a while and finally understood. No wonder there were so many people on the battlefield, but no information was leaked out. Even the scattered information was of great value.
It turns out that those apprentices all want to rely on experience and intelligence to gain military merits...
"By the way, you..."
The birdman apprentice was about to speak when suddenly, his figure disappeared, along with the owl on his shoulder. It seemed that he was pulled into the formation.
Lin En's eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart moved when he saw this scene.
"That man and his owl didn't seem to disappear at the same time..."
As a third-level apprentice, Lin En's mental power is extremely strong, and he clearly confirmed that he was not mistaken just now.
The birdman apprentice disappeared first, and then almost instantly, the owl disappeared.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
This means that the apprentice and the owl entered the formation in batches.
"I hope this birdman is not a wizard who focuses all his methods on his pets, otherwise he will be in trouble..."
Lin En was pondering in his mind, when suddenly his eyes blurred and the scene around him began to flicker rapidly.
He did not panic because he knew that he should have been chosen by the formation and was ready to enter the next stage.
He looked down at the brass bracelet on his wrist, feeling a little confused. This thing was said to be used to calculate military merits, but he didn't know what its operating logic was...
At this moment, Lynn's vision suddenly froze, and everything in front of him suddenly stopped.
Lynn was surprised to find himself in an unfamiliar forest.
The trees on both sides and behind are tall and sturdy, with lush branches and leaves, full of greenery, and their branches intertwined into a web, as if forming a natural barrier.
In front of him, a narrow road stretched deep into the ground, about one person wide, leading to the unknown abyss.
Lin En touched the two space props under his robe, which were filled with potions and magic props. He was almost fully armed at this moment.
He concentrated and mobilized his mental strength, ready to respond to the impending danger at any time, and then walked towards the depths along the only path.
Ta-ta-ta. The surroundings were extremely quiet, so quiet that it made people shudder.
The tall trees are densely intertwined, and it seems that all the sounds of life are swallowed up by this forest.
There were no birds singing or insects chirping, and even the air seemed stagnant. Only the sound of Lynn's footsteps gently echoed on the piled up leaves.
He was fully focused and moved forward carefully.
Suddenly, Lynn stopped—the road ahead was blocked by a dead end.
"It's the end... I should have chosen a different path at that corner..."
Lynn whispered to himself, feeling an uneasy sense of regret rising in his heart.
However, something unexpected happened.
At this moment, the surrounding trees underwent a terrifying change. Lin En's eyes suddenly focused - three-dimensional human faces began to appear on those tree trunks.
There were men and women, old and young, and one face after another quickly took shape on the tree trunk.
