Ruster parked the car in the backyard, picked up the evidence bag placed in the co-pilot, got out of the car and returned to his cabin.

He took out a can of cold beer from the refrigerator and threw himself onto the sofa.

The cold beer flowed down his throat into his lungs, and Rast took a long breath.

After drinking a few swigs of beer happily, Rust put down the beer can, brought a notebook and a pen, and began to paint and draw.And don't forget to have a sip of beer every now and then.

Soon, the can of beer was gone, and William's face appeared on the paper.

Last opened another can of beer and studied the faces on the paper.

The clothes are too thin, and I'm still wearing the clothes from just autumn, so I don't wear too much here.It may be from out of town.But Ruster didn't see his vehicle.

It is difficult even for locals to walk to that deserted place in the early morning.

But he really didn't look like the natives.

More like a young man returning from a big city.Ruster throws the empty beer cans in the trash.Pulled open the third can of beer.

He didn't need to go to the bar to work this afternoon, and he was used to getting drunk at home on afternoons like this.

The other half, William feels terrible right now.

William didn't know how long he had been running, so he drew a teleportation array desperately with the mana he barely recovered.

The destination is my own bedroom.

William looked back while running. He had just turned a few corners, and the man should not have seen his teleportation array.

It was too late to observe where the other end of the teleportation array was, at worst he fell on the floor with a black nose and a swollen face, and William rushed into the teleportation gate.

But what awaited him was neither a soft mattress nor a hard floor, but icy cold water.

William fell into the water profusely in sweat, shivering from the freezing water.William struggled desperately with all four limbs to float to the surface, breathing heavily.

Here is a lake, surrounded by fog and no sunlight.He couldn't tell how big the lake was, nor could he see the surrounding scenery clearly. William could only vaguely see a red forest in the distance.

It was cold, it was too cold.There are even ice floes floating on the surface of the surrounding water.Staying in the water could only freeze to death, and William groped his way to the shore.

"Aww!!" William touched his forehead, he had just bumped into a big rock.The fog grew thicker, and William didn't see it until it crashed headlong into the stone pillar.

This is the wreckage of a house.

William didn't have time to think about it, and swam to the shore with all his might.

After finally reaching the shore, William sat exhausted on the pier leaning on the bollard, and dried his clothes with magic.

The sun shone through the clouds, and the thick fog also dissipated a little.William looked at the lake and couldn't help holding his breath.

In front of William was a wide and large lake, covered with a thin layer of cold fog, making it difficult to see the distant water surface and the opposite bank.The red forest spreads all the way from the shore of the lake, and the border cannot be seen at a glance.On the far side of the lake, there is a majestic gray-white isolated mountain standing between the sky and the earth, and the mountain peak is covered with white snow.

Magnificent, but also strange.

I seem to have come to the hinterland of a national forest park. Except for this pier, there is no trace of human activities.The wreckage of those houses in the lake is also really strange.

He was certainly not near Lake Charles now, and there was absolutely no such mountain there.

William tried to draw out the teleportation array, but he had only barely recovered [-]% of his mana, which was exhausted again in the suspected teleportation across the world just now.

William had an intuition in his heart that there was something waiting for him at the foot of the mountain on the other side of the lake.It was too far away, and I could barely see some gray rocks, but I couldn't see any details clearly.The lake was too cold for him to swim to the foot of the mountain on the other side of the lake by himself.

Behind it is a small river, meandering down through the dense forest into the lake.

Since there is a dock, there must be a boat.Since he couldn't figure out why he appeared here, William decided to wait here.

The sound of bang bang collision came from the small river behind him, and William quickly got up and hid in the woods aside to observe.Unexpectedly, one after another, the large wooden barrels flowed down the river and ran aground on the large shoals on the shore.

After making sure that nothing else came down with him, William walked to the river and checked the big wooden barrels.

The barrels made of fine oak can smell the faint aroma of wine.Some can smell the aroma of apples.William got up and looked up the river. The river meandered, and there was nothing to be seen except the dense woods.

Since so much wine and food can be consumed, there must be a large settlement in the upper reaches of the river.

William looked at the pier again. The owner of the wine barrel must have made an agreement with a ferryman, and the other party would come to regularly pick up these empty wine barrels.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with logic, but who else in modern society would use such troublesome methods?

William felt that he might have entered another parallel world.

He decided to go directly upstream and have a look.

His intuition told William that it might not be a good choice to walk upstream along the river bank with big thorns. These wooden barrels are very valuable, and there must be someone looking after them along the way, so he chose to walk through the woods.

But soon he regretted it.

The miasma in the woods is very heavy, the air is very oppressive, and there is a feeling of lack of oxygen. William soon began to feel difficult to breathe, but the feeling of concentrating disappeared. William could only cheer up and struggle in the forest. trek.

The woods, which look harmonious and beautiful from the outside, are quietly corroding inside.Some trunks have begun to rot and turn black, and a few have been completely necrotic. The trunks are twisted into strange postures, and they are covered with unknown vines.

William carefully avoided those weird spider webs in the forest.The area of ​​those spider webs is really too big, and William very doubts whether the size of the spiders here has exceeded cognition.

The dense tree trunks blocked all the light. After struggling around several tangled tree trunks and vines, William lost his way completely.To make matters worse, he felt that his whole body was a little unconscious.No fresh air, like sleeping in a closed room for too long.

William had an urge to just go on sleeping like this.

William took a deep breath and slapped himself. He couldn't go on like this. He needed to breathe fresh air. He immediately left this ghostly forest and went back to the river.

William looked up at the tall twisted tree trunks, their branches blocking all sunlight.William gritted his teeth, found the best angle, grabbed the tree trunk with both hands, and climbed up with hands and feet.

The trunk was covered with moss, and William carefully climbed among the trunks with difficulty.William raised his head and tried his best to reach a branch with his hands, but one foot missed, and his whole body fell down heavily.

William hugged the tree trunk with quick eyes and quick hands, avoiding the tragedy of falling to the ground from a height of three meters above the ground.

William breathed a sigh of relief, and the fall also knocked him out of spirit.His hands were scraped and his knees were burning hot.The trousers must have been torn, and he looked down at his trousers and found that his feet were covered with white cobwebs.

After stepping on a spider web by himself, William looked back.A thick giant spider web, connected to several big trees, looked like a huge white hammock, and William poked a small hole in the corner of the hammock.

The entire spider web was shaking slightly, and William felt his hair stand on end. He came back to his senses, and climbed up faster.
