After lunch, the troops set off. Allen rode on his horse and felt something. He raised his head and looked at the upper floor of the hotel, smiling and waving at the figure standing by the window. Then he gestured for the team to set off.
Lucy, who was standing by the window, sighed softly. She knew that Allen wanted to protect her. But in the end, Allen was still worried that her strength was not enough to deal with the situation in the Howling Forest. After all, she was still at her original level, and Regis and Adele were already far ahead of her. Lucy looked at herself in the mirror and shook her head with a bitter smile. When did she become Allen's burden?
Silently inspecting the Origin Energy in his body, the Condensation Secret Technique inherited from his father, Orfasis, had only condensed a third of his Origin Energy into a liquid state. There was still quite a bit of time before he could condense all of his Origin Energy and release the Breaking Force Lock to soar into the sky. If it weren't for the fact that Allen's journey north was still not over, Lucy really wanted to unlock the Breaking Force Lock and let her Origin Energy rush to Level 20. At the very least, if she became an Awakened One, she wouldn't become a burden to Allen.
She tried her best to restrain her urge to unlock it. The journey wasn't over yet. Who knew if more dangerous enemies would appear on the journey? Lucy knew very well that now was not a good time to unlock it. She needed to endure it.
"It's just that this feeling is very uncomfortable." She muttered.
There was a knock on the door, and Guna walked in with a drink. "This is made from sour plums. It can stimulate your appetite and refresh your mind."
Lucy smiled and said, "You came just in time. I need this kind of thing." She took the cup and drank it in one gulp.
The team set off from the hotel, led by a soldier of the Bear Armor Army, bypassing the edge of the city, and gradually, a cemetery appeared in Allen's line of sight. It was the Great Cemetery of Mosaio, and the tombstones on the sloping cemetery stretched upwards one after another. As far as the eye could see, there were tens of thousands of stone tablets in the graveyard. The team followed the road through the cemetery. The black iron fence of the cemetery was covered with dark green vines, and the gate was locked tightly. Behind the door, there were a few tomb guards silently watching the group pass by. They were expressionless, as if they were walking corpses without a trace of life.
This gloomy graveyard occupied a large area, and the team took quite some time to completely bypass the graveyard.
Behind the cemetery was the west gate of Mosaior. The guards at the gate had already received the news and were not surprised by the arrival of this group. The procession stopped in front of the gate, and the guards opened the gate. The soldier leading the procession said to Allen, "Sir, this is as far as I can take you. Once you exit the city gate and head west, you will be able to see the edge of the Howling Forest in no time. The lake where the Queen of Fear resides is located deep in the forest. I'm afraid you won't be able to see it until noon the next day. Please be careful. The danger of the Howling Forest comes not only from the Queen of Fear, but also from other creatures under her control. "
Allen nodded. At this time, the city gates were fully opened. He raised his hand and tightened his grip on the horse's belly. The warhorse neighed and charged out. Behind him, Lola and the five Azure Dragon Knight lined up, and more warriors followed closely behind. The group quickly drove out of the city gate and galloped across a monotonous plain. Sure enough, as the soldier had said, it didn\'t take long for Allen to see a forest line.
That was the edge of the Howling Forest.
The forest line of the Howling Forest went from narrow to wide, gradually spreading towards the west. The forest was located in the middle of two mountain ranges. The ancient trees in the forest towered into the sky, with lush leaves and dense branches. These ancient leaves were dark in color. From afar, the Howling Forest exuded an oppressive atmosphere.
The group passed through the plains and entered the forest, and it was as if they had entered another world. Allen looked around. The sunlight in the forest was dim, and it fell through the gaps in the leaves to the ground, forming only large patches of fine light. There were no roads in the forest, but fortunately, the ground was relatively flat. The team could advance quickly even if they spread out a little, but after half an hour, the terrain became more and more complicated. The undulating natural rocks and the ubiquitous bushes made it difficult for horses to pass through. Moreover, the spacing between the trees was also shrinking, which made the space to pass through the forest limited.
Allen had to order the team to stop and find a relatively open place to settle the horses. He left two soldiers to look after the horses, and the others followed him into the forest.
Along the way, they would occasionally see some collapsed wooden houses. They were buried under the bushes, and some were even connected to some old trees. Allen even picked up a flag of the Bear Armor Army. It seemed that the Bear Armor Army had built some outposts in the forest. However, it seemed that this measure was not successful, and he didn\'t know the reason.
After walking for another kilometer or so, there were no more traces of human activity. The forest became more and more eerie and quiet. Allen couldn\'t even see birds or beasts. The whole forest seemed to be full of hostility to living things. In the hollow of the dead trees, behind the moss-covered rocks, and in the dense bushes, all of them were filled with a chilling atmosphere.
In the evening, Allen found a low slope that could be used as a temporary camp. It was rare that the place was not occupied by ancient trees. A few bushes that were half the height of a person were quickly eradicated by the soldiers. Allen ordered them to set up camp and rest. Soon, a few big bonfires were set up and lit. After assigning the people on night duty, Allen sat down and rested. Lola walked over and took out a bacon wrapped in a banana leaf and a leather bag filled with water. This was the team\'s dinner for tonight.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of water, Allen passed it to Lola. As he ate the bacon, there was a sharp whistling sound coming from the depths of the forest. It was probably the origin of the name Howling Forest.
Lola\'s race lived in forests and mountains all year round. Even if the Howling Forest was far away on another planet, there was not much difference in the environment. Therefore, in the forest, Lola felt like a fish in water. Entering her familiar environment, Lola\'s senses were naturally sharper than others. After drinking a few mouthfuls of water, she lowered her voice and said, "Be careful at night. I found some traces of biological activity in the afternoon. This means that there are not no living things in the forest, but we didn\'t even see a ghost. I think those creatures are deliberately avoiding us. Perhaps the night is the best time for them to appear. "
Allen nodded, and Lola said, "You rest first. I\'ll be in charge of the first half of the night."
Now there were only two experts over level 20, Allen and Lola, in the team, so the two naturally had to take turns to guard the night. In such a dangerous place, the safety of the camp was thrown to the warriors or Nairi and the other Sea Dragon Knight. Allen was a little worried. He didn\'t object to Lola\'s suggestion. After eating the bacon in two or three bites, he looked for a place to rest. Lola smiled and pulled him onto her lap. "Rest here," she said.
