Chapter 209 Beyond the Mist
"It seems that our luck is pretty good. I have always been worried about encountering other types of twisted souls in the thick fog, but now it seems that we are not that unlucky." Panis suddenly spoke and broke the silence in the team: "Although it is unfortunate that he will hit the twisted soul head-on as soon as he enters the wandering woodland, the subsequent development is not that bad. Ava, turn off the lights, it is no longer available now."
"Have you escaped from the thick fog area? Isn't there still fog?" Lina looked around. There was still fog in the woodland. However, because of the strong lights before, no fog was gradually fading with everyone's movement, and the distance of vision began to become farther and farther. It was not until Eva canceled the light technique that she continued to use, that the girls realized that even without lights, she could vaguely see the road conditions under her feet.
The further you go, the fog becomes fainter and the things you see become clearer, as if the world is rapidly dyed from black and white, becoming gorgeous. Soon, the thick fog that once blinded the girls' eyes turned into a faint gauze covering the surface of the trees in the distance. Although it still exists, it can no longer cause interference.
At this time, the girls saw the inside of the wandering forest where they were. The wandering forest was a narrow forest between the Rodalentel Crater. The girls are now located closer to one side. As long as they look up, they can see the towering rocky peaks through the tree canopy, and look up at the woodland at the foot of the mountain like a giant. As for the other direction, they can only see layers of tree canopy, and in addition, they can only see the sky that can be seen accidentally between the tree canopy. However, if you climb a tree canopy that is dozens of meters high, you can see that between the two towering peaks, the wandering forest extends forward from the valley like a green river. The green river winds along the mountain and leads to the distance, and you can't see the end at all.
After losing the interference of the thick fog, the girls who walked a little distance outside the thick fog area and had been vaguely feeling extremely strange finally knew that they were subconsciously surprised. Since everyone started to enter the wandering forest, they have not heard any sounds from nature along the way. No, to be more precise, they have never heard of sounds from animals. There is no sound of birds, no roar of beasts, no sound of insects, no sound of flapping wings, no sound of running footsteps, and the surrounding environment is bizarrely quiet, as if it is not a dense forest at all. Hold your breath, you can even hear the growth of leaves, or even hear the sound of flowers blooming and falling.
At this moment, the girls truly realized the meaning of the name forbidden land of living beings. The living is no longer the protagonist of this world. The sounds that symbolize the breath of life in the forest no longer exist in this world. Only strange tranquility is left to wandering the woodland. It is as strange tranquility as the world after death.
"So it's so quiet here." Lina was startled by her voice. The psychological pressure brought by the thick fog had distracted the girls' attention before, making everyone not realize how abrupt his voice seemed in such a quiet forest. Until she left the thick fog area and the limit of her vision was opened again, the girls finally realized that the original normal volume sounded so shocking. The priest girl stuck out her tongue and lowered the volume like a whisper in her ears. Even so, it was clear that people could hear it very clearly: "In this environment, I was a little afraid to speak. Who knows whether such a obvious sound would be heard by other creatures? Maybe it would cause trouble at that time. The eldest sister should blame me again."
"Who heard it?" Catherine tilted her head and asked, "Who can hear it here?"
"Ah... uh." Lina opened her mouth and suddenly realized that in this quiet place of creatures, not only did there be no sound, but there was no listener who listened to the sound. Even if she shouted with all her might, she would not be able to attract even an animal. However, the priest girl still said stubbornly: "Say, maybe it will attract those twisted souls."
"No, oh, why did it hurt so much when stepping on my feet?" Panis jumped to the side with his legs in his arms, glared at Lina for a few glances, and then explained: "Those souls that are just twisted, they do not have the perception method that can only be obtained by having **. All they can do is to use their souls to perceive the soul."
"Is this the same thing for other kinds of twisted souls?" Catherine asked uncertainly: "Or, is this the only twisted shadows we see?"
"The twisted souls are like this. No matter how strange the appearance is, they are actually just a twisted soul without entity. Even if the twisted appearance still has ears." Panis explained: "Of course, most of the twisted souls have no distortion, and people cannot tell where their ears are. For example, those mixed with various colors over there, can you find their ears?"
"Oh, my Lord Deniya." Looking in the direction of Pannis' finger, Lina once again exclaimed a short scream. Because these twisted souls had no entity, they could not make any sounds themselves while they could not hear the sound. Even people as sensitive as Pannis could not find their approach.
"Can ghosts be considered a twisted soul?" Catherine also let out a suppressed low cry. The things that appeared in front of her were really beyond her thoughts, and even beyond her cognition. This made her scream so out of control.
What floats there is just a group of colorful geometric symbols that cannot be identified. No one can describe what is a thing that is spiraling up between two flat light bands erecting to each other, forming a beautiful yellow spiral shape. It is also impossible to find language to describe a green triangle composed of two tips opposite to each other. The two triangles are like hourglass, alternating with larger and smaller existence.
Of course, it is not only these two, there are more than a dozen similar beings wandering there. The girls cannot determine the exact number of them, because the girls cannot determine whether some of them are symbols that form a whole or should be calculated separately. For example, a symbol composed of five spheres, the five spheres not only rotate themselves, but also entangle and coil each other. Whether they are counted as a whole or regarded as five independent individuals, there are certain reasons. There are also two tangential plane circles, which are constantly expanding outward like inflatable balloons, and when they expand to about one meter, they continue to collapse inward, which is very similar to the breathing lungs.
"Don't get close, they haven't sensed us yet." Panis frowned, obviously not having any good feelings for what he saw, and said with a pout, "What a troublesome, why did you meet them now?"
"Why, is this type of twisted soul difficult to deal with?" Catherine asked in a low voice: "What are their characteristics that will make you show this expression."
"Of the sixteen twisted soul types we have seen, their threats can be at least in the top five. No, if it is my personal judgment, it can even be in the top three." Panis stopped everyone's steps forward and rubbed his chin and said, "This kind of existence is also a long, long time, and it will take at least thousands of years to form such individuals. Although no one knows why they become these chaotic geometric symbols, it can be confirmed that they only have strange soul fragments left, like a piece of paper that was torn to pieces and burned away most of them, leaving only a few corners of them, but the soul is torn to pieces."
"Don't use such a terrifying way to describe it." Lina couldn't help but give Panis a blank look, habitually hiding behind the tree for a while, her voice lowered: "I think they are floating, does it mean they can fly?"
"It's said that they have no hearing or vision, and you don't need to hide behind a tree and whisper." Panis teased: "As for flying, they are flying now."
"Now this is called floating, not flying." Lina gritted her teeth and glared at Panis, dispelling his intention to sneak over and test her short hair feeling, then frowned and snorted, saying dissatisfied: "Don't pretend to be stupid, you should know what I mean."
"Well, you're right, they can fly, and they're not slow." Panis pointed above: "You guys look up."
The six people, including Dilly, looked up together and were startled. There seemed to be many similar existences floating between the canopies above their heads. Although their bodies were covered by the canopies, the colorful halos emitted around still exposed their location.
"A lot." Catherine said with a headache: "You rank their threats so high, which means they are probably not as easy to deal with as distorted shadows."
