Barbarian Ruin didn't have much time to mess with Abel during this 2 day journey. He had to maintain the "battle mode" on his 4 mounts, and the "battle mode" required a lot of stamina and mana, which Barbarians were naturally lacking.
Therefore, Barbarian Ruin had to rest most of the time to recover his stamina, and that was when he rested every day.
They had been traveling in a place with people for the past two days. After passing through a mountain peak and a rocky field, there was no one left. Instead, a forest appeared in front of them.
It was noon, and the sun was shining on the forest. Purple mist lingered in the forest, and it looked very beautiful.
However, Abel didn't think so as he sat on Black Wind. This forest gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.
Priest Giant Horn pointed at the forest in front of them, "Wizard Abel, the Purple Mist Forest is in front of us. From here on out, danger will appear at any time. You need to be careful!"
Abel still remembered that the Purple Mist Forest was recorded on the map, but it was at the edge of the map. There was no record beyond that.
Abel asked, "Priest Giant Horn, what are the dangers in the Purple Mist Forest?"
He could tell that he was the only one who was going there for the first time. He wasn't prepared at all, but the other 3 must have been prepared.
Priest Giant Horn explained, "The mist in the Purple Mist Forest has the power of hallucination. There are also many dangerous poisonous creatures and spiritual beasts living there. It's best if you don't stop your defense spell!"
Barbarian Ruin laughed softly, "If you can't even get through this, then go back now. Don't go to a ruin and die!"
"Ruin, we're in the same team now. Don't say that!" Half-elf Leon interrupted Barbarian Ruin and turned to Abel, "Be careful in front. The hallucination mist and poisonous creatures are much more dangerous than spiritual beasts!"
After he finished speaking, he added a 'hurricane armor' to himself and summoned the 'oak sage,' the 'raven,' and the 'poison creeper.'
Priest Big Horn added a "bone armor" to his body. Three white energy bone shields appeared around him and rotated around him. Afterward, eight skeletons appeared around him.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Abel also cast an 'energy shield' on his body, followed by an 'ice armor.' If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't want to expose too much, he would have added a 'bone armor.'
Barbarian Ruin didn't say anything. He just roared twice and buffed the 4 of them with 'roar' and 'battle mode.'
At that moment, he was in a very good state. With Ruin's "roar," the "battle system," and the "oak sage," he could feel that his body's attributes had increased tremendously.
Barbarian Ruin patted his mad wolf, and it was the first to enter the Purple Mist Forest. However, he was already holding a pair of battle axes in his hands.
Priest Big Horn ordered the eight skeletons to follow Ruin and entered the Purple Mist Forest. Half-elf Leon was the next to follow.
Abel was the last to enter the Purple Mist Forest. He held the 'leaf' magic staff in his hand and rode Black Wind.
When they first entered the Purple Mist Forest, sunlight could still shine through the gaps between the trees. As they went deeper, the trees grew taller. Because of the purple mist, even if the outside of the forest was bright, it was still a bit dark inside.
"Damn it!" Barbarian Ruin's body was thick, but he was also very agile. As he cursed, the battle axe in his left hand chopped down a green poisonous snake that was hiding on a branch.
Although the battle axe was the size of a shield, and it looked ridiculous to use it to chop down a poisonous snake, you could see how precise Barbarian Ruin's control of the battle axe was. He chopped off the snake's head with ease.
"Ruin, you're more experienced than us in dealing with these things. Stop complaining!" Priest Big Horn said from behind.
"Wizard Abel, Barbarians are born with sensitive senses. They live in a harsh environment, so it's easier for them to deal with poisonous insects. On top of that, he's a weapon expert, so he's very good at close combat. Barbarians are usually the vanguard of adventure teams." Half-elf Leon explained softly to Abel. Unlike Ruin, he had a natural sense of closeness to Abel.
"Druil Leon, how long do we need to walk to get out of this Purple Mist Forest?" Abel looked around and asked.
"If everything goes well, we should be able to get out in a day!" Half-elf Leon replied.
"Wizard Abel, do you have any antidotes on you?" Priest Big Horn suddenly asked.
"Yes!" Abel looked at him and replied.
"That's good. I forgot to remind you before we left. You have to take a bottle of antidote every hour. Otherwise, you will be affected by the poison in the purple mist. If you don't have enough, I still have some!" Priest Big Horn's wrinkled face twitched a little as if he was apologizing.
Abel gazed at Priest Big Horn. This priest was very cunning. Even for something like this, he still wanted to cause trouble. Abel could guess why Priest Big Horn didn't tell him he was bringing antidotes. If he didn't bring antidotes, Priest Big Horn would have given them to him as a favor.
If he didn't see what kind of person Priest Big Horn was in the previous battle, he would have been very grateful to Priest Big Horn.
Looking at the trees around him, Abel ignited his soul speaker ability. Suddenly, the leaves around him began to rustle, which made the adventure team a little suspicious.
He carefully controlled his soul speaker's ability and began to communicate with the trees around him. Suddenly, his senses began to spread out in all directions along with the transmission between the trees.
Half-elf Leon turned around and looked at Abel suspiciously. He realized Abel had become one with the forest.
He almost screamed. Abel was a soul speaker. Not to mention humans, even elves had very few soul speakers.
Although he had become an elite Druil, he could only communicate with animals. He couldn't communicate with plants. A soul speaker's talent was the best Druil talent.
Abel realized half-elf Leon was looking at him, but he didn't care. His soul speaker talent wasn't something he needed to hide.
Half-elf Leon didn't say this to the other 2 in front of everyone. Since Abel was a soul speaker, they knew Abel was telling the truth when he said he had a good relationship with the elves. It wasn't hard for a soul speaker to make a good impression with the elves.
After half a day, Barbarian Ruin had swung his axe countless times. Other than poisonous creatures, there were also a lot of vines in the way.
Barbarian Ruin stopped his mad wolf and turned to Abel, "I'm tired. Wizard Abel, you're too free. You lead the way!"
He had not stopped swinging his axe for half a day. He had to keep an eye out for poisonous creatures as well as the direction of the forest.
As for the other 2, Priest Giant Horn's skeletons were guarding beside him. Priest Giant Horn would also cast a spell or two from time to time to kill the poisonous creatures that the skeletons had missed. These creatures had very weak life force, so it was hard for the skeletons to notice them.
Half-elf Leon would occasionally use his iron rod to kill the poisonous creatures that got close to him. His hurricane armor could only defend against elemental attacks, but it couldn't do much against the bites of these poisonous creatures.
The 3 of them did not dare to let their guard down for half a day. Barbarian Ruin had been paying attention to the duration of his roar and battle mode. As soon as they disappeared, he would immediately replenish them. Priest Giant Horn was also constantly replenishing his bone armor, and half-elf Leon was also maintaining his hurricane armor.
Compared to the 3 of them, Abel was a lot more relaxed. At first, he was constantly replenishing his ice armor and energy shield, but the more he walked, the easier it became. In the end, he didn't even replenish his defensive spells. He just walked in the forest like this.
Moreover, there were no poisonous insects that attacked him along the way.
Barbarian Ruin and Priest Giant Horn had noticed Abel's situation a long time ago. They didn't know if it was because of Abel's luck or something else. Only half-elf Leon knew that it might be because of his soul speaker.
As far as half-elf Leon knew, even a soul speaker's ability could not be maintained all the time. This was because it took a lot of power of the will to activate it.
Abel also just realized that after he activated his soul speaker ability, he was almost like a member of the trees in the forest. His presence had become one with the trees.
Therefore, there was no way the poisonous creatures in the forest would attack him in a situation like this.
The problem of the soul speaker's consumption of mind power was not a problem at all with his strong mind power foundation. Maintaining the soul speaker's ability for a few days did not affect his mind power too much.
Priest Giant Horn did not object to Barbarian Ruin's suggestion. If they had just entered the forest, he would have objected, but after seeing Abel's strange situation, he already guessed that Abel might have some special ability in the forest.
Abel did not object, "Alright, but I don't know where to go!"
Barbarian Ruin saw that Abel did not object, so he stepped aside and said, "I'll give you directions. Just follow my directions, and you'll be fine!"
Abel gently patted Black Wind, and Black Wind came to the front of the team. It was at the vanguard position.
"Wizard Abel, let's go!" Priest Giant Horn saw that everything was ready, so he said.
Abel continued to walk in the direction the team was heading, but he did not take out his chopping tool.
Barbarian Ruin looked at Abel with a cold smile. He did not say anything, as if he wanted to see him make a fool of himself. Priest Giant Horn wanted to see what ability Abel had, so he didn't say anything.
Only half-elf Leon knew that a soul speaker did not need chopping tools to walk in the forest. Soul speakers were born to be loved by the forest.
Black Wind's speed was obviously faster than Ruin's, and there was not a single vine blocking their path. It was as if all the vines had disappeared along the way.
The poisonous bugs did not attack Abel, either. Instead, Barbarian Ruin, who was following behind Abel, had to use his battle axe to block the bugs that were attacking him.
Although the number of bugs attacking him was not as much as when he was leading the way, it was not much less. It was almost like he was still at the front of the team.
"Wizard Abel, we can't stay in the purple mist forest for the night. We have to get out tonight!" Priest Giant Horn saw that the team was moving faster, so he looked at the purple mist in the sky and said to Abel.
"Priest Giant Horn, as long as the direction is right, I can still speed up!" Abel replied with a smile.
"No need, this speed is just right. If you need to rest, just let me know. I'll take your place!" Priest Giant Horn quickly declined.
As Abel sped up, more and more poisonous bugs appeared from time to time. Although he had the white bone armor, which made it easier for him to defend against the bugs, it was still a bit difficult for Barbarian Ruin and half-elf Leon.
He was very curious about Abel's ability to make the bugs ignore Abel. Although the bugs in this area were not as powerful as the spiritual beasts, they were much scarier than normal spiritual beasts. Even though the four of them were able to travel through the Purple Mist Forest so easily, they had already been through the Purple Mist Forest once and had some understanding of it. Furthermore, they were all high level combatants and were powerful individuals.
Suddenly, Abel stopped. Barbarian Ruin, who was following closely behind, almost bumped into Black Wind.
"Wizard Abel, why did you suddenly stop? Are you tired?" Barbarian Ruin said unhappily.
"Ruin, don't talk!" Priest Giant Horn yelled softly. He then turned to Abel and asked, "Is there danger?"
Elite wizards had powerful power of the will, so they were very sensitive to danger. Therefore, when he saw Abel suddenly stopped, he immediately became alert.
"Ruin, I don't know the rules of the Central Continent, but if you continue to target me, I will withdraw from this adventure. Also, I will fight you to the death!" Abel lowered his voice and stared at Barbarian Ruin with a murderous look in his eyes.
Before the adventure, Barbarian Ruin's attitude towards him was just a small conflict. However, now that they were in the middle of a dangerous adventure, Abel couldn't accept Barbarian Ruin's attitude.
According to what Priest Big Horn said, the ancient ruins needed someone as powerful as Johnson, which meant the danger level was very high. Having a teammate who was always targeting him was like playing with his life.
"Abel, you!" Barbarian Ruin was about to say something, but he was stopped by Priest Giant Horn.
