Chapter 2953 The Strange Forest

Angel originally thought that he would randomly choose a direction to walk around and see if he could find a way out of the forest.

In other words, in this dark forest, could he find guidance to leave the strange omen.

However, after only a few steps, Angel frowned. Although he could not perceive the mind space and mobilize energy, his spiritual sense as a wizard did not disappear.

He vaguely felt that something was wrong around him, but he could not find out what was wrong for a while. However, the pressure of spiritual sense on the center of the eyebrows reminded him that this forest did not seem as simple as it seemed on the surface, and it was hiding some unspeakable danger.

"Where will the danger come from?" Angel stretched out his fingers and rubbed his swollen eyebrows, trying to increase the effectiveness of spiritual sense. But it did not have any effect, but instead made the surging spiritual sense slowly disappear.

Everything returned to silence, as if the danger was just an illusion.

Angel knew very well that the oppressive feeling between his eyebrows just now was definitely not an illusion. There must be something wrong here... Since his spiritual sense was silent, he could only try to capture the surrounding things with his eyes to analyze the source of danger.

Is there a monster lurking in the shadows of the forest? Or is it a trap buried by hunters in the forest?

Or... is this forest itself dangerous? For example, the surrounding trees actually have hidden spiritual wisdom and can transform into evil towering tree people?

When Angel's thoughts were running wild, several shrill cries of crows suddenly came into his ears.

Are there crows in the forest?

Angel looked up and vaguely saw several black shadows flying through the dark forest, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The size of the black shadows was very similar to that of crows, and when they flew by, they could hear the fluttering of wings, so there was a high probability that they were crows.

Although these creatures that looked like crows disappeared in the blink of an eye, their shrill cries never stopped, as if this group of crows had been hovering near Angel.

Could the danger come from crows?

In the wizarding world, crows are often used as eyes. Moreover, crows have always been petty and vindictive. Some wizards also raise crows to warn people who are approaching by using the metaphor of their character.

Angel didn't know whether these crows were raised or the eyes of some extraordinary person, but this was just an "abnormal sign" after all, so there shouldn't be any obscure metaphors, right?

Perhaps these crows were not the source of danger, but the ones who set off the atmosphere?

After all, even Angel, now listening to the crows' cries that sounded like the voice of the dead, and looking at the dark forest in front of him, would feel inexplicably uneasy.

The gloomy atmosphere here has obviously been set off by this group of crows hiding in the shadows.

Suppressing the surging thoughts in his heart, Angel refocused his attention on the present.

Staying in the same place was not a solution. Angel thought about it and decided to change the direction.

Perhaps the previous premonition of danger was because he was walking in the wrong direction? As long as he found the right direction, he could get rid of the premonition of danger?

Changing the direction, Angel walked a few more steps.

The spiritual sense did not awaken again, which seemed to mean that changing the direction could really get rid of the danger? But Angel felt that it was not that simple. The spiritual sense did not remind him, perhaps just because it had reminded him before.

Angel continued to walk a few steps regardless.

When the total number of steps reached thirty, Angel stopped. Because he finally found something wrong!

The surrounding trees seemed to become thicker and bigger!

Is there really something wrong with the trees? In order to prove that his discovery was correct, he chose to move forward. But this time, he changed the reference coordinates.

After a few seconds, Angel stopped again.

At this moment, his expression was no longer as calm as before, because he found... the truth.

The trees did not change, but he changed. His body became smaller.

This forest was like Gulliver's tunnel. Every time he took a step forward, his body would shrink.

This shrinkage did not make Angel feel strange, as if it had shrunk naturally. Therefore, Angel did not notice it at first. If it were not for the spiritual reminder, Angel might have to wait until all the trees around him turned into towering trees before he discovered his abnormality.

However, there are also rules for shrinking. It will only shrink when walking, and it will not shrink when stopping.

Does this mean that stopping is the "solution"?

Absolutely not.

Angel tried to stop and analyze the situation around him, but the more he stopped, the less he wanted to move and dared not move. It seemed that after he noticed the shrinking rule, "stopping" became a safe island in his heart, making him more reluctant to take a step.

And this is definitely not a good thing. Unless he wants to be trapped in this strange omen, he must move and find a solution to the omen.

"Every time I walk, I shrink. Is this the sign of this strange omen?"

Angel thought to himself, while taking the initiative to attack and began to do more tests related to the shrinking law around him.

Angel seemed to be strolling around, but he was actually testing the effects of different directions, different ways of walking, and various factors on shrinking. He also climbed a tree and even ran for a while.

In the end, he got a not-so-good result:

Shrinkage is not affected by any other factors. As long as you move, no matter what posture you are in, even if you crawl forward, you will definitely shrink. And running will speed up the shrinkage.

In other words, if he wants to find a solution to the omen, he will inevitably shrink, and this shrinkage will continue. In the end, he may become smaller than dust.

No, he may not even have the chance to become dust, and he will be threatened by other dangers in the forest, such as crows.

Since the first crow cry sounded in Angel's ears. This group of crows hiding in the dark have never left, and they call from time to time to show their presence.

There is no doubt that these crows are secretly spying on him in the dark.

Today, after a series of tests, Angel has become much smaller and half a head shorter than before. But at least he still maintains the size of an adult. Facing the crows hiding in the shadows of the forest, he still has a certain advantage. Comparing hunters with prey, he is now barely a hunter.

But when he keeps shrinking, his size becomes similar to that of the Kulakuka people, then the hunter and the prey will switch positions.

He will become the prey, and the crow will become the hunter.

Angell believes that at that time, the crow will definitely fly out from the dark and attack him.

"The forest that can make people smaller, and the crows that are watching covetously beside." Angell murmured in a low voice: Could this be the test of this strange omen?

Angell knew that it was difficult to guess what the real test of the strange omen was, but the biggest dilemma at present was indeed to solve the problem of his own shrinkage and the crows in the dark.

How to solve the dilemma? Will it be to stop first and find a way to kill the crows?

No, the crows are not attacking now, which means that they also know the law of the forest's shrinking, so they will definitely wait until the offense and defense are switched before attacking.

If they stop, the crows will not attack, but will be psychologically hinted, making him dare not move the more he stops.

But what if he doesn't stop? Should the crows be solved? Or were the crows and the shrinking just a kind of psychological oppression, forcing him to panic and ignore the clues hidden in the dark?

Angel began to force himself to stop thinking about the crows and the shrinking of his body, ignoring these external factors, and seriously looking for clues hidden in the forest.

...

Angel did not care about the changes in his body and began to walk in the forest. He initially planned to look for "human traces". If there were traces, he might be able to find a way out.

But after searching for a while, he did not find any human traces, but found some animal footprints.

This footprint was found under a rotten broad-leaved forest. The footprint was very small, about the size of a baby's fist, but it went very deep into the ground.

Angel did not recognize the shape of the footprint because the footprint was filled with water, which had turned the clear footprint into mud.

Will this footprint be a clue? Angel did not know, but he decided to look for it near the footprint.

Since there is a footprint, there must be a second footprint.

This search made Angel three centimeters shorter. However, he still found the second footprint.

It is worth mentioning that the second footprint and the first footprint should be left by the same animal, but they are far apart. At four meters away, it seems that the animal takes big steps?

In addition, the size of the footprint has not changed, which means that there is a second creature in the forest that will not shrink due to movement.

The first one is the crow, and the second one is the owner of this footprint.

The crow is an enemy that peeks in the dark, so will the owner of this footprint be the one who can solve this strange omen?

After thinking for a moment, Angel decided to follow the direction of the footprint and look for the owner of the footprint.

This search lost another five centimeters.

However, this time Angel found about ten footprints, which basically confirmed that the owner of this footprint did not shrink.

Although the owner of the footprints left one footprint on the left and one on the right, the general direction is certain.

"Will this direction be the direction of departure?" Angel didn't know, but he was willing to try again.

Continuing to follow the footprints, this time, Angel stopped after being two centimeters shorter.

It was not that he had found the owner of the footprints, and Angel was not going to give up, but... his spiritual sense, which had been dormant before, suddenly woke up.

This time, the revived spiritual sense no longer gave Angel a warning of danger as before, but gave Angel a vague guidance: it seemed that his spiritual sense was echoing somewhere in the forest.

At the same time, the spiritual sense gave Angel a general direction, due north.

But the direction of the footprints was northwest of his current coordinate origin.

Although it was not the opposite, it was also a large deviation.

Moreover, Angel could roughly estimate that the location guided by the spiritual sense was at least nearly a thousand meters away from his current location.

Let alone whether he would take a detour on the way, even if he walked straight, according to the law of shrinking and the scale of the pace becoming smaller after shrinking, when he arrived at the target location, it is estimated that his body size would be reduced to half of the current size, and become a form similar to a dwarf or a halfling.

Although he did not immediately become prey, the crow was qualified to attack him.

He had few chances. The biggest problem facing Angel now was whether to choose the footprints or to trust the spiritual sense?

Angel stopped and fell into deep thought.

About half a minute later, Angel stepped again. This time he did not follow the footprints, but chose to trust the spiritual sense and headed to the due north!

The reason for making this choice was Angel's trust in the "absolute self".

Spiritual sense is very wonderful. It can be said to be inspiration or spirituality. It comes from oneself, is the guidance of deep thinking, is the summary of the energy ether sea, and is the outlet of honeycomb consciousness.

It is also an intuition from the inside out.

To describe it in more straightforward language, this is an absolute self.

The superficial self may also be deceived. But the probability of being deceived by the deeper absolute self is very small.

At least, Angel has never seen the ability to deceive the absolute self in the wizard world of the Southern Region.

So, he chose to believe in spiritual perception.

However, the spiritual perception that suddenly appeared this time also had strange things. For example, spiritual perception can sense danger and make decisions when hesitating, but it is very strange to rely directly on spiritual perception to guide the way, and even the coordinates of the end point of the way have already appeared.

This is very strange.

It is not that spiritual perception cannot do this, but that there is generally only one type that can achieve this situation: there is something deeply related to Angel in the guiding place, or even that there are items on Angel at the coordinate point, which will cause the "strongly related" spiritual perception.

But Angel can be sure that there is nothing missing on him.

If you have to say it, it is probably only the thinking space.

But the thinking space is the least likely to be lost. Although Angel cannot perceive it now, he can be sure that the thinking space has been following him in a higher dimension. Otherwise, spiritual perception will not appear.

Since it is not a thinking space, and Angel has no other lost items, why does such a "strongly associated" spiritual perception appear?

Angel didn't know, but he decided to go and see for himself.

...

After walking for about ten minutes, Angel had shrunk by about thirty centimeters.

However, the distance to the target point was getting closer and closer.

The crow's cry did not disappear, and it continued to ring in his ears. But except for the crows that were secretly spying, Angel did not find other dangers in the forest... nor did he find other animals.

This seems to mean that the footprints of the animal before may be the only two animals in the forest?

If so, would his choice be wrong? Shouldn't he trust the spiritual perception, but the footprints?

Angel was a little confused.

Should he retreat? If he retreated at this time, maybe there was still time?

There seemed to be a voice in Angel's heart that kept tempting him to retreat and try to find the footprints, but after careful consideration, Angel still did not stop.

If he retreated now, he might be able to find the footprints quickly, but where would the footprints end? Will his body support him to reach the end of the trail? It's hard to say.

However, if he chooses to continue moving forward, at least Angel has a set goal.

Compared to searching for the trail aimlessly, moving forward with a goal can at least give him a result...
