Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 1169 One hundred and seven. We will see you eventually

  Sleep is not necessary. After a long journey, the tired Lu Li needs to rest, but he does not need to sleep.

   It's just that Lu Li was looking for something to do to get through this quiet night.

   The presence that comes with the strange fog wanders in the fog, occasionally passing through traps, making a rustling sound.

  The existence sometimes senses the existence of the pit, and moves the slate to gently shake the bell hanging below. At this time, Lu Li would use the latent shadow potion to hide in the inner world to avoid them.

   The dangerous wilderness night finally faded away, and the hands of the alarm clock representing the arrival of the morning point to the time when the thick fog recedes.

  The slate was moved away as the bell rang, and Lu Li, who had taken the manifesting potion, climbed out of the hiding place. An invitation was placed beside the slate as if it was placed outside the door, and the oil lamp glowed brightly.

The    invitation invites Lu Li to a nameless feast in the unknown hills.

   Having no intention of participating in the nameless feast, Lu Li carried the oil lamp and left the hiding place to leave.

   Regardless of the unknown invitation or the inability to tell the direction of the dark wilderness, it means that he will not come back here again.

  From the quicksand area that is entrenched in the hills and deserts, to the hollow caves where strange nests are built. From the hunter's hut, camouflaged and waiting to devour passers-by, to the turbulent swarms of eccentric swarms.

   Even the serial potion could not restore Lu Li's gradually deepening injury and exhaustion.

  Finally, Lu Li's position on the map is close to the Eternal Forest.

  Eternal Forest is dangerous.

  The area around the Eternal Forest is safe.

   sounds contradictory but with truth attached: the Eternal Forest is dangerous because it is entrenched, and the surrounding area of ​​the Eternal Forest is safe because of the weirdness.

   At least after getting close to the Eternal Forest, Lu Li no longer encounters weirdness that brings crisis along the way.

  If he had continued on his way last night, risking a monstrous fog to chase after him, Lu Li might have been able to make it through a quiet night - or be killed by the monstrosities along the way.

  Lu Li did not encounter any villages and towns on the edge of the forest, and the route deviates from the direction unexpectedly.

  With less than two hours before the spooky fog begins to fill, it is best to find the village, spend the night there, and enter the Eternal Forest early the next morning.

   But finding a village and town in the dark hills with limited vision requires luck and time.

  Lack of the latter, Lu Li gave up his search and continued to approach the Eternal Forest. Looking ahead beyond the range of the oil lamp, it seemed as if you could see a dark forest formed by a strange giant tree standing silently on the southern horizon.

   After dozens of minutes, Lu Li stood under the dark and silent tree.

  The vines tangled with twisted branches and fell, and the bushes burrowed out of rotting soil.

   They are still alive...

   Although the bushes and trees are dyed with a dark ink-like color, Lu Li can feel the smell of plants.

  Lu Li summoned the merchant Anthony for the last time to replenish supplies, while stuffing the blanket into his retching stomach.

   Without hesitation, Lu Li stepped into the eternal forest where tower-like giant trees stood.

  The wind of the empty hills is blocked, and the Eternal Forest is silent. They didn't respond to Lu Li's intrusion, which reminded him of the weird jungle.

   Is the existence entrenched in the vast eternal forest similar to the strange jungle?

   Every once in a while, Lu Li will release the Tree Whisperer briefly to release his goodwill and position. And that allowed him to navigate the forest without any trouble—except for the forest itself.

   The bushes along the way would always scrape Lu Li's clothes and skin, and the damp roots under the rotten soil also made him stumble several times.

   So in the safe eternal forest, Lu Li suffered more injuries than outside.

   As night fell, a strange mist surging in and out silently told that the Eternal Forest did not reject them.

  Lu Li hid in the hole of a giant tree as thick as a lighthouse, and pushed the rotten wood he picked up around the entrance to barely cover the hole.

  Two oil lamps illuminated the dark tree hole. In the dark age environment, the tree hole was free of insects and snakes. A blanket was spread out. Lu Li sat down and took off his tattered and broken clothes, wiped the wounds, and applied recovery medicine.

  The crown of thorns still hasn't woken up, Lu Li replenished the resources in his stomach bag, finished his food, curled up in the tree hole with a blanket, and fell asleep peacefully.

  This night, no existence disturbed Lu Li.

  In the early morning, Lu Li regained some strength and put away the blanket and continued on his way.

  The dark jungle where the sun does not see the sky is silent, and Lu Li's footsteps and breathing are the only sounds.

  Eternal Forest is not weird, there is no insurmountable hillside, there is no sound, only the distance brought by the scale of the bushes and forests along the way on the map.

   For Lu Li, he is not alone. In the perception of the Treetalker, the dead trees are like his companions, as if walking in a lively and noisy market.

   The constant darkness enveloped Lu Li, proving that all he was moving were the grotesque roots and dark bushes illuminated by the oil lamp.

From the second day, Lu Li no longer tense his nerves, and became like an explorer in the old days, even more leisurely than that, resting when tired, thirsty and hungry, he stopped to drink water and eat, without worrying about the invasion of wild animals— - But there is also trouble. He can't cut down the bushes in front of him, he can only bypass it, or get into the barbed wire and forcefully scrape away the bushes of cloth and flesh.

   At first, Lu Li was able to wrap his legs with the spare clothes in his stomach bag, but the cloth was like paper in front of the sharp branches, and soon turned into rags and hung on his legs or bushes.

  Lu Li once took out the eyeball wooden box, but put it away after hesitation, without summoning the merchant.

   As night fell, Lu Li had not yet found a tree hole where he could hide, but he soon discovered that the strange fog that permeated the eternal forest did not bring about the existence of the fog.

   It exists only as a dense fog.

  Lu Li was able to travel at night and found a tree hole less than three hours before the gloomy dawn, where he took a short rest and regained his strength.

   There is no businessman to guide the direction. Lu Li can only draw the map with his intuition. If the direction is not deviated, he has left the edge of the eternal forest and is approaching the interior.

  The scene a few hours later confirmed Lu Li's guess: the unknown fluorescent plants grew out of rotten black soil, like the sparse stars in the depths of the night sky, bringing a sense of space to the dark forest.

  On the fourth day of entering the eternal forest, a new light emerged ahead: the dim light like moonlight spilled into the depths of the forest, but as he moved forward, Lu Li saw the sunlight leaning into this virgin forest from behind the branches and leaves that blocked the sky.

   As if the hard work finally paid off, I continued to move forward and was irradiated by the warm sunshine that dispelled the cold.

   A hill stood in front of him, and the embarrassed Lu Li walked to the top of the hill, and a nameless village illuminated by the afternoon sun appeared in front of him.

  Several wooden houses are built on the flat grass, smoke rises from the chimneys on the beams, the old weather vane turns gently, and a dense stream, which is sparkling and twinkling, passes in front of the wooden houses.

  The illusory white-skirted girl was squatting by the stream, washing the roots and stems, and looked at the outsiders who appeared on the hills.

  Whoa——

  The food sank into the transparent stream with the waves, and the floating girl fell into Lu Li's arms.
