Chapter 334
The young man with two swords on his back sat on the side of the road, wearing a neat grey close-fitting long gown, shoulder-length red hair, with his head lowered, and a melancholy expression on his face.
Cheng Yu walked into Star Town, intending to find someone to ask about the situation in the Cold Mist Forest. Seeing the red-haired young man with two swords on his back, this look would be a high-level NPC in a game or animation, even if he was not the protagonist.
He walked towards the red-haired young man and raised his hand to greet him, "Hello, friend."
"What's the matter?"
With a stern face, the red-haired young man's cold triangular eyes glanced at Cheng Yu, with a temperament of keeping strangers away.
"My name is Cheng Yu, a businessman from outside the area, and I plan to enter the Cold Mist Forest to collect the God Blood Flower."
Cheng Yu smiled and explained his purpose.
Looking at the direction of the Cold Mist Forest, a hint of loss flashed in the eyes of the red-haired young man, "The Cold Mist Forest cannot be entered, and anyone who approaches the Cold Mist Forest will fall into a deep sleep."
"Why does it make people fall into a deep sleep?" Cheng Yu was a little curious.
"I don't know."
The red-haired youth spoke in a cold tone, looking away, not wanting to pay attention to Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu saw that the red-haired youth ignored him and had a rather cold attitude, so he took out a gold coin from the system warehouse, "Tell me, when did this situation start to happen in the Cold Mist Forest? Well said, this gold coin is yours."
Seeing the gold coin in Cheng Yu's hand, the red-haired youth looked a little disdainful, "What are you going in for?"
"Didn't I just say it? Go in and pick the God Blood Flower."
Cheng Yu suspected that this person didn't listen to him seriously at all.
The red-haired youth looked even more disdainful, "You can't even enter the Cold Mist Forest, what God Blood Flower can you pick?"
"How do you know I can't get in?"
Cheng Yu has a very high defense, and he has a big demon clan specializing in dream magic.
Hearing Cheng Yu's confident answer, the red-haired young man was a little shaken. The person in front of him might really be able to enter the Cold Mist Forest, so he sat up straight, looked at Cheng Yu, and said seriously, "This situation started a month ago."
"Are there any signs before it happened?"
Cheng Yu asked again.
"Strange noises frequently came from the Cold Mist Valley in the middle of the Cold Mist Forest."
Strange noises?
Cheng Yu became interested.
If you can enter the Cold Mist Forest, pick the God Blood Flower first, and then go to the Cold Mist Valley where the strange noises are produced. Maybe you can pick up some treasures.
Take out ten gold coins and give them to the red-haired young man, "Friend, you be my guide, take me to pick the God Blood Flower, take me to the Cold Mist Valley, and I will give you ten gold coins as a reward."
"I don't want money."
The red-haired young man said in a cold tone, without much explanation, he stood up and walked in front, leading Cheng Yu and the other two.
"No money? Are you sure?"
Cheng Yu knew that there was no free lunch in the world, and he couldn't help but doubt the identity of the red-haired young man. Is this man really an adventurer?
"No money, but the premise is that you can take me into the Cold Mist Forest." The red-haired young man replied.
"What if I can't take you into the Cold Mist Forest?" Cheng Yu asked back.
Red-haired young man: "I will kill you."
? ? ?
Cheng Yu had a question mark on his face. He had no grudges against the red-haired young man, and the red-haired young man's answer was somewhat arrogant.
"You make it sound like you can beat me."
Although Cheng Yu couldn't understand the red-haired young man's operation, he was not afraid of him.
Several people left Star Town and walked towards the Cold Mist Forest east of the town.
"My name is Cheng Yu, what's your name?" Cheng Yu asked the red-haired young man.
"Beavis."
The red-haired young man spit out three dry words.
Beavis.
Cheng Yu remembered this name.
Star Town is not far from the Cold Mist Forest.
Walk along the path for half an hour and you will see the Cold Mist Forest, which is surrounded by white mist and has a mysterious color.
When they walked to the outskirts of the Cold Mist Forest, a feeling of sleepiness came over them.
"Master Cheng Yu, I'm so sleepy."
Ivennie had the weakest resistance and could not withstand the sleepiness that came like a flood. She gritted her teeth and held on for ten seconds, then fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
Beavis's resistance was stronger than Ivennie's, but not much stronger. With his eyes half open and half closed, he pinched his thigh hard to keep himself awake with the pain.
Cheng Yu had a stronger resistance, but he just felt a little sleepy. However, if he walked further, he could not guarantee that he would fall into a deep sleep.
Meiweier's situation was similar to Cheng Yu's. He just felt a little sleepy. He walked to Ivennie and picked up the unconscious Ivennie.
Cheng Yu took out a small bottle from his arms, uncorked it, and a cloud of black mist emerged from the bottle, condensing into a black shadow more than ten meters high in the air.
Seeing the tall shadow in the air, Beavis's cold expression showed surprise. This thing carried a strong sense of oppression, and seemed to be the soul of a powerful person.
"Hey, Nightmare, look at thisThe forest ahead, why do we feel sleepy when we approach the forest. "Cheng Yu asked.
The tall demon shadow's empty eyes lit up with two red lights, looking at the cold fog forest, "This forest is shrouded by a powerful sleeping magic. You will fall into a deep sleep when you walk in."
"Sleeping magic? Can you break it?"
"If I were still alive, I could break it, but I am just a remnant soul now, I don't have that much ability."
Nightmare was once a genius of the Dream Demon Clan. He led the demon army to break through the northern fortress of the Black Sun Empire and almost became the Demon King. His strength during his lifetime should not be underestimated.
"So what can you do now?"
"I can protect you from entering the forest and not being affected by the sleeping magic that shrouds the forest."
"That's great."
Cheng Yu was very happy.
Bringing Nightmare here is indeed a wise decision.
"We are going to enter the cold fog forest, you help us stay awake."
"Okay. "
The remnant soul of nightmare gathered magic power with the power of thought, and a magic circle pattern with a diameter of tens of meters appeared under the feet of Cheng Yu and his companions, competing with the sleeping magic covering the cold fog forest.
"I will maintain this magic circle, as long as you don't leave the range of 30 meters around me, there will be no problem."
The effect of the sleeping magic disappeared, Beavis' eyes were clear and energetic.
Iwenni also woke up from her sleep.
"Lord Cheng Yu, I'm sorry, I'm too weak." Iwenni apologized to Cheng Yu.
"It's okay, it's not your problem."
The sleeping magic covering the forest was too strong, even Cheng Yu himself felt a little sleepy.
"Finally, we can enter the cold fog forest."
Beavis, who woke up, was not as cold as before, and his eyes were full of excitement and expectation.
"Hey, why are you so happy? I still like your cold and ruthless look just now. "
Beavis suddenly smiled on his cold face, which made Cheng Yu feel a little awkward.
Hmph~
Beavis regained his cold expression, snorted, didn't want to pay attention to Cheng Yu, and strode forward.
Cheng Yu stood still and watched Beavis walk forward.
Beavis, carrying two swords, quickly walked out of the magic circle. Without the protection of the magic circle, sleepiness came over him again.
Beavis quickly retreated back to the magic circle.
Turning his head, he looked at Cheng Yu with resentment.
Cheng Yu can now confirm that this double-sword swordsman named Beavis is a dead tsundere, "Do you know what my nickname is?"
"What?"
"Tsundere killer, specializes in treating all kinds of disobedience."
Speaking, Cheng Yu held Mayville's dragon horn, "Do you see this cute little dragon? It used to be very tsundere, but now I have trained it to be obedient. "
"Who has been trained to be obedient by you? "
Mei Weier rolled her eyes at Cheng Yu and turned away.
