The whole world is God's help

In the afternoon of that day, the three of Ash arrived at the edge of the Crystal Forest.

After entering the polar night, the northern land continues to be shrouded in darkness, but when the weather is clear and the stars are shining, you can see things clearly on the snowfield without lighting, and you can pass unimpeded.

Today, it happens to be such a clear and clear weather.The clear and rugged scenery of the Crystal Forest revealed the tip of the iceberg in front of the three of them.

Meng told Ash a lot of wonders and wonders, but he didn't mention the Crystal Forest they were about to arrive at.It's just that I want to let Ash see it with his own eyes.

Ash saw it now, and as Meng expected, he opened his eyes wide in amazement, and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful."

The Crystal Forest lives up to its name.

It is an endless, vast and lush forest.The giant trees are towering, with luxuriant branches and leaves, which completely block the sight of the forest, which is deep and quiet.

Giant trees are not ordinary giant trees.

The trunk is blue, dark blue, dark blue.The branches and leaves are light blue, colorless and crystal clear.

Like a hard crystal, the trunk is straight, the branches and leaves are clanging, the edges and corners are clear, and the edges are sharp. It doesn't seem to grow naturally, but is chiseled out by a knife and an axe.

However, the rich vitality flowing in the forest tells people who doubt this that they are indeed alive.

Ash looked down, from the high-level canopy to the middle and lower layers of the forest.

Lush bushes, twining vine curtains, knee-length weeds... are all made of crystal, reflecting a little bit of cold light under the starlight, which makes it undeniable that once you step into it, you will be cut to blood dripping.

Going straight into the forest seemed impossible.Ash looked up at the sky above the forest: "Fly in?" He said so, but he knew in his heart that it would not work.Otherwise, how could the Crystal Forest be regarded as a place of great evil?

Meng let go of the big horned deer pulling the cart, and these two smart animals would naturally find their way back to the group.He didn't completely deny Ash's statement: "It is necessary to fly. But it can't be higher than the trees. Otherwise..."

He looked around, picked up a snowball under his feet, and threw it forward.

There is a crystal tree ahead, at the edge of the forest, it is still a small tree.The snowball easily reached the sky above the little tree.

Just as the snowball flew over the small tree, all the leaves on the small tree separated from the branches in the blink of an eye, turned into pieces of sharp blades, and "swished" towards the snowball above.

The snowball didn't even have a chance to disperse into snowflakes, so it exploded with a "bang" and disappeared.

And the leaves that had done all this were suddenly shattered into a glistening powder and fell down.The powder fell on the grass under the tree, and the leaves of the grass trembled and became denser again.After another breathing time, the bare saplings on the branches were covered with sharp leaves again in an instant.

"The leaves have the magical effect of breaking demons." Meng sighed, "No amount of magic armor is enough."

Ash understood that they could only fly among the trees, never touch the ground, and never climb higher than any tree.But there are many branches and vines in the forest, and you can't come and go at will. If you don't pay attention, you will be cut by sharp scratches from all directions.

"Leaves not only have magic-breaking effects." Signey added calmly, "Rachel spent a long time building his domain. Leaves, shrubs, grass... some are harmless, and some are destroyed by him. Randomly cast various curses. If you accidentally get injured, you will probably have to stay here forever."

"You know more than I do." Meng laughed, because Rachel's Wizard Tower is in the Crystal Forest, and unfortunately, he has never been able to explore this land.

Although Rachel is a wild wizard and does not have the territory granted by the Wizard Association, in essence, the wild land of the Crystal Forest is completely Rachel's territory.He built the wizard's tower in the middle of the forest.

A wizard tower guards a city.

Rachel's wizard tower guards... the forest.

He built this area to be solid and unbreakable, like a single piece of iron, any movement is under his eyes and ears, and every minute will be noticed.

Because of this, Meng has longed for the Crystal Forest for a long time, but he is still very self-aware and has not stepped into the forest.

But now...

Rachel is dead, what else can stop him from walking into the forest?

He cheered up: "Sigourney, let's go in." He emphasized, "Take care of Ash!"

Although he thought it would be better for Ash to wait for them outside, after all, it was Rachel's territory, and there must be many sinister and sinister things. Ash, a wizard apprentice, went in, and the risk was too great.

But judging by the attitudes of Ash and Sigourney, one wants to enter and the other wants to take.

Both of them are not emotional and irrational guys, and they may have their own reasons.Thinking this way, Meng didn't say anything about not letting Ash enter the forest.

Sigourney nodded casually. For the convenience of movement, he was pulling up his long hair and fixing it behind his head with a hair tie.In this way, the contours of his entire face are revealed, from the smooth forehead to the graceful chin, the lines are delicate and smooth, and it is shockingly beautiful.

Ash rattled over to his side, turned his head to look at the bun with his hair coiled up, couldn't help but stretched out his hand to poke it, thinking it was very interesting.

Sigourney pushed a few strands of hair that were too short to be coiled behind her ears, and turned slightly to avoid Ash's fingers: "Don't make trouble." He didn't bother to tie it again after it was loosened.

Ash: "Oh." He put down his hand obediently.

Sigourney stared at him with lowered eyes, meaning inexplicable.After a while, he turned around and said in a faint voice, "Come up."

Meng held back his laughter, the first time he saw someone carrying someone back, he stood so straight, didn't he know how to squat down and bend over?

Ash's eyes lit up, and with a "hmm", he hopped lightly on Sigourney's shoulders, and then lay perfectly on Sigourney's back, with his arms crossed on Sigourney's chest, The two slender legs also wrapped themselves around Signy's narrow waist spontaneously and consciously.

The posture is standard and the movements are full marks.

Even Sigourney stretched out her hand to hold the boy's thigh expressionlessly, cooperating tacitly.

Ash bent his eyes, raised his head slightly, pretended to accidentally touch it, and rubbed the small bag that Sigourney had tied up with the tip of his nose: "Sigourney, please."

Signey, who didn't understand why Ash had a soft spot for his little bags: "..." Is this the attitude of troublesome people?

"Say it again." He lowered his voice, "Don't touch it again."

Ash put his chin on his shoulder limply, and said "oh" regretfully.

Meng hahaha laughed at the side, thinking that these two people are really interesting.It looked like Ash was chasing after Sigourney, as if he would suffer a lot, but in fact, it was Sigourney who was eaten to death, right?

He can actually restrain Signi, the kid he befriended recently is really a formidable character.

"Let's go." Sigourney gave him a disgusted look, and flew up first.

Meng suppressed his laughter, and while following, he said, "Hey, Sigourney, give Ash a levitation technique, take it easy."

Signy ignored him.

Meng smiled, and became serious: "I'm serious, I don't want to take it easy, but also for the sake of Ash's safety. In case of danger, after you let go, Ash won't fall and get hurt."

let go?Sigourney frowned, no matter what happened, he would not let Ash go.If he really encounters a crisis that makes him have to let go of Ash, then even if Ash has the "levitation technique", Ash may not be safe-of course, there will never be such a possibility.

He can protect the boy.

But he still put a levitation spell on Ash.

Ash poked Sigourney with his chin, and said in a low voice, "It doesn't matter if Sigourney lets go. I'll do as long as I don't let go." He put a little force on his hand around Sigourney's chest, as if to emphasize himself "I'm still holding yours."

Sigourney raised the corners of her lips imperceptibly.

Meng followed behind: "..." All kinds of feelings in his heart make him talk too much!

After entering the forest, Ash noticed the biggest difference between the crystal forest and the ordinary forest.

In ordinary forests, the sunlight is blocked by layers of dense tree canopies, and entering the interior of the forest is dark and humid.

And in this forest, the giant trees are crystal clear from the trunk to the branches and leaves.The starlight falls on the leaves at the top of the highest treetops, and the little stars are continuously refracted and reflected, passing from the top of the tree to the roots of the tree, making the whole giant tree shimmering, even buried under the snow layer. The root system underneath is also illuminated from within, giving the snow a hazy halo.

The surrounding shrubs and grass are blessed by the giant trees, which inherit the light from above and below, and the whole body is translucent.

This is a transparent and bright forest, especially beautiful at night, there is no damp and corrupt atmosphere, only the air as cold as snow.

But in such a beautiful place, there are layers of murderous intentions brewing in the dark.

Sigourney and Mon slowed down, allowing Ash to see more clearly.

Just before entering the forest, he saw no less than ten dense skeletons one after another.Dressed in rags, he died in a distorted posture, as if he had suffered all the torture and pain during his lifetime.

Sigourney told him in a flat voice that those were all people who entered by mistake.

If Rachel is away, these strayed people can only die in the forest.

If Rachel was in the wizard's tower, then he would save these people and capture them in his laboratory.

"It's probably a kind of luck that they were able to die in the forest."

Hearing what Signy said, Ash suddenly remembered that he only knew that Rachel was Signy's enemy, but what exactly was it?

He had a vague guess in his mind.

Sigourney, could it have been Rachel's...experimental material?

But this guess, just thinking about it, made his heart feel stuffy.

He hoped his guess was wrong.

Even faintly resisting to face the truth.

However, the truth is right in front of them and is gradually approaching them.
