In the early morning, the bonfire was wiped out and several people who had just washed up with Donald's magic and officially entered the howling forest.

The crying sounds between the woodlands disappeared in the early morning.

I raised my hand and pressed it on a tree as thick as a bowl. The cold touch came to my mind from my fingertips. The rough bark also felt a frosted and wet feeling when it touched.

With his left hand in front of him, a cloud of gray mist lingered on it, and the Demonic Decree appeared.

A purple hanging in the shape of a leaf fell on the chest.

Demon's power is activated!

The branches of the trees that were originally silently stood there immediately showed some twists. The next second, a wooden bird shook its wings and showed its wings near the palm.

There are one and two. In more than two minutes, there were more than a dozen wooden birds hovering above Donald's head.

"It's the limit...go to find the place where wood carvings are scattered!"

Crossed hands, the dark green flame burned silently, and then it was divided into the same number of flames as the wooden birds in the sky, injecting them into their bodies.

Trepid ~

The next second, all the wooden birds flapped their wings and left.

This is already the largest number of birds that Donald can control in a short period of time. They can help themselves reconnaissance the environment within hundreds of meters. According to Claremont, the cave is surrounded by wood carvings, and the view from a overlook should be very clear.

"You are so powerful that you can save us a lot of time."

This is the first time that Donald has mixed two demonic powers together for reconnaissance, even Anthony is amazed by him.

"This is the greatest effort I can do. Whether I can find it depends on luck."

Although Donald often likes to be sure of his success, he can only rely on luck in this matter. It is best to go deep into the Howling Forest to find the cave, otherwise he will not know how much time he will waste here.

However, it turns out that the goddess of luck does not favor him today.

Donald did not notice anything from early morning to evening except for a period of rest at noon.

This is undoubtedly a frustrating result.

As the night approaches, they have to find a place to rest again.

"Is the method we are looking for is wrong? Maybe there is a kind of barrier outside the cave, or maybe... it takes some conditions to open it?"

Anthony was holding a rabbit that had been caught in the woods before, peeling off the internal organs. He looked at Julia with some concern. The day's march was nothing for a melee alien like him, but for this little girl, even riding a horse summoned by a horse whistle was still a very physically exhausting thing.

Julia, who was sitting in front of the campfire with her knees in her arms, turned pale and sipped in hot coffee.

Donald's face was paler than her, and maintaining the existence of wooden birds throughout the day consumed more than half of Donald's mental power.

"Huh~ I thought before that when Claremont discovered the cave, he was just an ordinary homeless man. If there were barriers around that cave, then he would have no reason to discover it... It seems that there should be other hidden information now."

After breathing a sigh of relief, Donald had to admit that he was a little bit like this, but it was impossible to save it now. After all, the "Great Sage" had already followed the burning church to the underworld.

In fact, even if he was found back, based on his understanding, he could only describe the situation at that time and could not discover the secrets.

"What should I do now? If there is a barrier, is it possible that the cave hidden in the area we searched before?"

"No hurry, we still have time. It's hard to say whether the barrier exists or not... Let's make a mark here, and pay more attention to the energy fluctuations around h when starting to explore tomorrow. If you still can't find it... Take one step at a time."

After working hard for a day, it is impossible to say that there is no negative emotions. However, Donald has a good control over his emotions. He just changed his position and lie down from sitting and lying on Stephanie's thighs, looking up at the night sky to soothe his spirits.

"Please take back those wooden birds first. We won't act at night anyway, so don't waste our mental energy."

Pressing Donald's temple, he used his abilities to help him adjust his emotions.

All the birds hovering outside returned and changed into trees on the ground next to them, and Donald was about to regain his power.

The next moment, my fingers were lifted into the air.

“There is something weird!”

He shouted softly and started from the ground suddenly.

"What? What's weird?"

Stephanie asked blankly without understanding Donald's meaning.

Woo~Woo~Woo~Woo~~

The howling suddenly sounded, and Stephanie, whose attention was on Donald, couldn't help but be shocked.

"These birds... are not right. To be precise, they should be these woods, which are weird!"

In the morning, Donald used demonic activation to give them life to make these wooden birds move. He didn't think there was anything special at that time, but when he was about to retract this power, he noticed the abnormal movement of the wooden birds.

They broke away from his control at some point, something that was absolutely impossible to happen in normal times!

Not long after this situation occurred, the strange noise in the howling forest appeared again.

A coincidence?

Donald doesn't think so.

Anthony and Julia came over from the side because of Donald's surprise.

"There is something wrong with this forest... The wooden bird has been given life by me when it reacts with a special reaction. Now I have retracted the power of activation and it has lost its reaction again..."

Thinking about the emergencies in front of him, Donald quickly realized that this might be an opportunity.

Point your fingers over the head of a wooden bird. Since there was a reaction before, you might as well activate it again now.

Trepid ~

Another cry, Donald's attention was entirely on the wooden bird.

No abnormalities.

“What’s the problem?”

Donald didn't think he would have an illusion, even though he was a little disappointed just now.

This is the confidence of being an awakened wizard.

"Is it possible that this wooden bird is too small and has not responded clearly enough?"

Because the sound around him was too loud, Anthony had to amplify his voice.

"this......"

With a try-making mentality, he summoned a wooden man who was almost the same size as an ordinary person from the tree trunk with the power of the demon.

As expected, there was no change.

"Maybe it was the change that caused by something you did before when you took back its life?"

Stephanie came up with her thoughts.

Donald once again simulated the scene at that time and regained his own energy to revitalize.

Ga~

At some point, the wooden man's body suddenly trembled, but it stopped in an instant!

"The reason was found."

He said in a deep voice, and the dark green flame suddenly rose from the wooden man's feet, giving him life again, and then took a few steps to cut off the link of mental power!

That's right, the key lies in Donald's control!

After Donald regains his power of activation, his mental power will be cut off from the Wood Man, and after he starts his agile thinking, this moment is extended in his perception.

The wood man did react at that moment, and then he lost his life and returned to peace like other trees around him.

Therefore, this time, after giving the Wood Man life, Donald took the initiative to cut off the spiritual connection with it.

The wooden man who gained "freedom" first stood still, then suddenly raised his hands, covered his cheeks without any facial features, and made a very similar move to bend down and crying.

It seems like there is great sadness!

"This...how is it like this?"

Even though he had seen many strange things with Donald, Stephanie was still chilling at the scene in front of him, and Julia hid behind Anthony early.

“It’s sad?”

Due to the cut off of mental power, Donald could not control the wooden man at this time, so he could only turn his eyes to Stephanie, trying to let her detect the wooden man's emotions.

"Although you don't know why, you are right, it is indeed sad, but it is just a wooden man."

Stephanie was incredible that she could sense the emotions of a wooden man.

Woo~ Woo~

As time passed, howling began to come from the wooden man's body...

"It is rumored that in the ancient forest, some trees began to involuntarily absorb the wood elements that permeate the air, and then gave birth to the souls of plants in their bodies. The druids who believe in the forest and the goddess of the ranger call them wood elves or god-loving plants, while the strange disciples simply call this plant tree people."

Donald searched for the knowledge in his mind and finally found such a description.

"I use the power of activation to give the originally dead wood man life, that is to say, it is now a self-conscious tree man in a sense, so it is affected by that mysterious force."

Relying on the agile thinking ability, Donald quickly summarized the meaning behind the current situation and continued,

"The Howling Forest has a long history, so does this mean that there are still some wood elves that truly possess souls somewhere in the Howling Forest?"

"The sound spread throughout the forest. How many tree people are there?"

Anthony looked around and the originally desolate woodland gave him an inexplicable sense of excitement.

"I care more about what they are sad than this question? What exactly can make them sad for so long that they even cry every night."

Donald pursed his lips, and he had an answer in his heart, but he didn't dare to make a decision.

"Donald, it moved!"

Stephanie pointed at the wooden man, it was turning to somewhere in the forest, leaping forward.

"Follow up, maybe this will help us unravel the secrets of this forest."

At this point, even if the situation of this wood man has nothing to do with the cave where the demigod fell, Donald would investigate it clearly.
Chapter completed!
