"I'll go! Miss Aya, don't hold me so tightly! I'll be very embarrassed."
Seeing Le Zheng Ling who was almost like an eight-clawed octopus hooked on him, Wei Cheng could only helplessly carry her on his back and leap forward all the way.
That's right, their group has now entered the inner perimeter of the Forest of Sound.
However, as soon as he entered the inner circle, Wei Cheng felt something was wrong.
If the place they were just now was like a peaceful paradise where all kinds of small animals gathered, then the place where they were jumping now was a dark and misty jungle.
The fog of this forest is slightly dark, surrounded by towering black trees that are so dense that you can't even see the top of your head. The rich sound energy is no longer colorful here, but appears as a misty gray, covering everyone's vision and limiting visibility to
Within three meters, objects beyond three meters cannot be seen.
Where is the habitat of elves?
If he hadn't followed Dongfang Gardenia's bright red twin ponytails that flashed like neon lights, Wei Cheng would have felt like he was entering the Demon King's City!
After looking around for a while, Oriental Gardenia sighed complicatedly:
"We were not very lucky and happened to break into the "Magic Forest". Here, neither the detector nor the naked eye can see anything three meters away.
But as long as we are careful and stay together, there will be no danger."
"Why is it called the Magic Forest?"
Wei Cheng was somewhat interested. He looked at Le Zhengling who was almost shrinking into a ball behind him. He helplessly threw the young lady into the blue sound field spread by Luo Tianyi behind him and asked.
Oriental Gardenia did not hide anything and quickly explained:
"The reason why it is called this is because when crossing this dark forest, you will hear some irregular music from time to time, as if you have broken into a magical illusion. It has its own name.
Don’t worry, although the name sounds sinister, there is actually no real threat in the Magic Forest. As long as we keep a good mind, the magic sounds and illusions here will have no way to deal with us!”
As if echoing Dongfang Gardenia's explanation, just as he finished speaking, a melody suddenly sounded from among the black trees and reached everyone's ears. It had a sense of rhythm.
"Alas!"
Yue Zhengling, who originally had a personality that refused to admit defeat, immediately turned pale after hearing this melody, and she shrank into the musical range created by Luo Tianyi, which made Wei Cheng feel a little funny.
Are you scared now? A Ling must not be good at watching horror movies!
Dongfang Gardenia took advantage of the opportunity and threw something into everyone's palms, and said lightly:
"If you can't bear it, wear earplugs and don't look at things around you.
Although there will be some weird music and illusions in the Magic Forest, these music will not have actual lethality. Compared with other dangerous places, it is actually quite safe. As long as you step out, you will be fine.
However, this is also a place of opportunity.
I once heard the teacher say that if you cross the Magical Forest without wearing earplugs, it will be quite mentally tough, and you will also get many benefits, but it depends on whether you are able to accept these benefits."
As soon as he finished saying this, Wei Cheng saw two senior students on the side quickly putting on earplugs and muttering something like "horror movies are the most annoying...".
Hakurei Reimu and Yanhe looked calm.
Especially Ms. Reimu... Can you stop that "I've seen too many monsters" expression on your face? It makes you look like you want to hit someone!
What surprised Wei Cheng was that Luo Tianyi, who was spreading his vocal range at the back, didn't wear earplugs and showed a naughty smile to himself. He seemed not to be affected by the dark woods around him at all.
However, what surprised Wei Cheng the most was that Le Zhengling, who was shaking the most violently among the crowd, did not put on earplugs. Instead, she left Luo Tianyi's vocal range and flew with Wei Cheng.
"Don't be too forceful." Wei Cheng comforted, but Le Zhengling shook his head.
"I...want to try it!"
Le Zhengling gritted her teeth stubbornly and threw her brown braid behind her. Although her face was slightly pale, she did not put on earplugs and just followed Wei Cheng.
Seeing this scene, Wei Cheng didn't say much. He just continued to walk quietly in the dark forest. Occasionally, bursts of poignant melodies floated through his ears, but he ignored them.
…
However, when the group of people had walked almost a mile, the melody in their ears suddenly changed, and began to be mixed with various noises, and some whispers were added from time to time. It seemed that the overall level of magic had increased to a higher level.
Hearing the change in voice, Dongfang Gardenia frowned slightly and whispered:
"The deeper you go into the magical forest, the weirder the music coming from the trees will become. If you can't hold on, don't hold on..."
However, before she finished speaking, everyone suddenly heard a shrill scream coming from the depths of the darkness, which made everyone feel a little uncomfortable unconsciously. Some timid people even felt a chill on their backs and hurriedly
Put on your earplugs.
A-Ling was fine at first, but after hearing the scream, her entire face turned pale, and she hurriedly grabbed one of Wei Cheng's arms, making Wei Cheng feel somewhat embarrassed.
Although Lihe was somewhat startled by the sudden scream, he was not affected and asked calmly:
"What was that just now?"
"Be careful of the phantom sounds in the Magic Forest. From here on, in addition to the magic sounds, this forest will also start to produce phantoms. If you can't stand it, put on earplugs, close your eyes, and let others pull you away.
, otherwise it would be bad to leave a psychological shadow."
Wei Cheng nodded indicatively, looked at Le Zhengling who was grabbing his arm, and said with a smile:
"Can you still stand up?"
"Hmph! Don't underestimate me..."
However, before Le Zhengling could finish her words, waves of high-pitched screams came from the darkness, which frightened Miss Ling so much that her legs became weak and she was about to collapse.
Seeing Ah Ling who was so frightened, Wei Cheng couldn't help laughing, and directly hugged Le Zhengling onto his back, saying,
"If you can't hold on, don't hold on! I'm your guard after all. There's nothing to be ashamed of relying on me when you need help."
Regardless of whether A Ling agreed or not, Wei Cheng carried her slightly forcefully and continued to jump forward.
Le Zhengling's face was slightly red, but she did not refuse Wei Cheng's move. She just stayed on his back in silence and continued to move forward.
After some time passed, Hakurei Reimu, who had been calm and composed at first, began to look pale, and slowly inserted the earplugs into his ears, no longer daring to look down upon this black forest.
Even Guo Cheng, who was following Wei Cheng, put on earplugs after applauding Wei Cheng for carrying Le Zhengling on his back. Apparently, he had reached a certain limit.
Currently, no one in the entire team wears earplugs. Only Wei Cheng, Dongfang Gardenia, and Yan He are left.
Luo Tianyi, who was at the back of the team, simply put on the blue headphones that appeared, covering his whole body with the sound range, directly cutting off the melody from the outside world.
"If there's no problem...just keep walking!"
The leader, Dongfang Gardenia, saw that everyone was fine, so she nodded and continued crossing the black forest area.
