The deeper the silent forest goes, the more lush the weeds and denser the trees.
The dense forest not only covers sight, but also blocks sounds. That is to say, the deeper you go to the forest, the quieter the surrounding environment will become. If it is daytime, even the light will become dimmer as it penetrates into the forest.
This environment is very dangerous.
Because in the silence, any existence that makes sounds is exposing its position, which will immediately attract countless covetous gazes hiding in the dark around it. If the creature that makes sounds is weak, then in the next second, it will pay the price of its life for its carelessness.
In this world, it comes at a price to make your own voice.
Therefore, silence is the most optimal choice.
Silence makes sense.
Of course, this principle does not apply to the employees of the First University - the first university is the biggest principle on the entire island of Bouke. The forest must be silent in front of the school, but the school can make loud noises in the forest.
This is why, even though he knew that this was a secret operation, Hilda still seemed a little absent-minded, and even dared to 'teach' Zheng Qing in the battle formation.
Until he was deducted points again.
The Silent Forest finally fell into true silence.
On the night of Qingming Festival, the yin energy is particularly heavy.
When the assistant teacher team arrived at the destination tonight, the moon was already in the middle of the sky. The light blue curse light was like flowing mist, connected between the five assistant teacher, slowly flowing in the night, outlining the appearance of a vague Jishui Leopard. The moonlight fell and coated it with a pearly light film. From a distance, it looked like a ghost about to collapse.
"Stop!"
At the front of the battle formation, the wizard wearing a literal B mask gently tapped his mask and passed this message to everyone in the team.
Zheng Qing dragged his robe and struggled to pass through a clump of tangled thorns, followed Hilda, leaning his head to look behind the bushes.
The originally dense forest suddenly opened up in front of him.
It was like a small piece of alopecia areata above the giant's head, and a small piece of clearing in the forest suddenly and ugly appeared in this beautiful world. The low fence with a sharp atmosphere isolated the clearing from the forest. In the middle of the camp, a hot bonfire was burning, emitting a strange fragrance, spreading in all directions.
Almost as Zheng Qing smelled the fragrance, a warning hissing and a series of slightly manic dog barking came from his ears.
"Who is there!"
When the stern shouting sounded, a wind blade was also wrapped in dazzling fire, and it headed straight for the uninvited guests like a meteor, instantly illuminating a large black and dusty world.
"I'll say hello. You two will patrol the surroundings. It doesn't need to be too far. Just don't let any eye-opening disturb you... As for you two, just stand here and don't walk around at will."
The wizard wearing an armored mask spoke very quickly and whispered in a low voice.
The previous order was for the masks of the characters B and C. They had been in the team's exploration and patrol work before, and it was not surprising that the new tasks they undertake at this time were taken on.
The latter order was said to Zheng Qing and Hilda.
The four of them agreed one after another.
Hilda might be a little angry, but at this time, she did not show any sign of thrust and stayed in place with Zheng Qing angrily.
After giving the order, the wizard wearing an armored mask turned around and headed towards the direction where the wind blade came, tidied up his robe on his body, pinned a badge of the First University Teaching Assistant Group on his chest, and then walked straight out of the forest, hanging the Dharma book at his waist, spreading his empty hands forward, as if he wanted to shake hands with his old friend:
“…The First University Teaching Assistant Team visited the Uteya Tribe.”
Only then did Zheng Qing know the name of the horse tribe they met tonight.
Accompanied by the wizard's greeting, the entire camp seemed to have a pot of boiling water and suddenly boiled. The rapid sound of horse hooves seemed to sound from all directions, but in the end, there was only a team of horsemen warriors galloping out of the center of the camp.
Zheng Qing noticed that there were a few short hunting dogs, behind the side of the team of knights, staring at the uninvited guests deep in the forest. Obviously, they had a sharper sense than the horseman.
The horse soldiers were wearing light leather armor, carrying bows and swords, and their black manes were raised in the fire, like burning flames. Just a small group of knights ran out of a sharp and unstoppable momentum. But when they came to the wizard with a character armor, the sharp momentum of the entire team suddenly subsided.
It's like surging waves turning into gurgling water.
They gathered around the guests and headed towards the center of the camp, leaving no horsemen outside the fence, leaving only those short dogs.
Zheng Qing looked at the dogs squatting behind the fence and the backs that were gradually moving away, and finally couldn't help but poked Hilda's arm and asked in a low voice: "Is it okay for him to go in alone...?"
The practice class teacher glanced at him with resentment.
Before he could speak, another sound came from Zheng Qing's ears.
"Among all the magic creatures in the Silent Forest, the horseman should be the smartest one." The one who spoke for Hilda was a wizard wearing a literal mask, but the sounds under the mask were disguised and mechanically indifferent, making people unable to hear his tone: "...this is why, we chose to visit them tonight. So, don't worry about the safety of the captain."
Zheng Qing agreed with a restrained voice.
Not knowing his true identity under the mask always makes him feel like facing strangers.
"Let's go, too." Yizi Mask turned to look at another companion, nodding at a very small amplitude. The next second, the two of them turned into two streams of light and disappeared into the heavy night.
Behind the fence, several dogs stood up alertly, staring nervously at the place where the magic power had just risen and fallen, grinning, as if they would roar in the next second.
"Don't talk to me!" Hilda glanced at the student who seemed to be silenced and warned him in advance: "I don't want to finish the task in the middle of the night, and I will write a three-foot-long reflection report..."
Since he is willing to speak, it will be easy.
"It's not a chat, teacher, I mean, letting the character A enter alone seems a bit unruly?"
Zheng Qing looked around with some anxiety, as if he was feeling a little ashamed of his distrust of his teammates, but at this time he could not remain silent. He must ask some of the words clearly: "I remember the safety regulations of the assistant coaching team said that it is prohibited to contact third parties at will when performing tasks. If there is any need to contact, the two-person principle should be implemented..."
