#212 - Chapter 212: Bagpipes from a Distance
After gathering some minor details, Jiang Han wasted no time and set off immediately.
"Huh?"
Seeing him leave so decisively, Reidy couldn't help but be taken aback, then looked at Enzo with a strange expression. "My lord, he's not really going to the Everfall Forest, is he?"
"Knowing his style, he most likely is," Enzo shrugged.
"..."
Reidy was silent, feeling somewhat dejected.
How could such a matter of life and death be spoken of so lightly?
Has he been out of touch for too long, and the world outside has changed?
Are the aberrant creatures no longer feared?
"Dumbfounded, aren't you? That's the right reaction."
Enzo patted Reidy on the shoulder and sighed, "The world of大佬(bigshots) is beyond our mortal comprehension."
"I originally planned to follow behind him to see if I could pick up some scraps, but now it seems I can't go."
"Why?" Reidy asked.
"Because I'm afraid of death."
"..."
After leaving the tavern, Jiang Han followed the route on the map to the Everfall Forest.
The Isle of Divine Grace has a vast area, but forests account for more than 70% of the total, so the greening work can be said to be quite good.
And this vast forest is called the Divine Grace Forest.
It is further divided into some more specific areas, and the Everfall Forest is located in the central area.
According to the principle that the deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes, the danger level of the Everfall Forest is also relatively high.
Even Jiang Han did not underestimate it, because in this unregulated area, there is no limit to the level of monsters. On the periphery, you can see level one or two little white rabbits wandering around, and inside you can find level 100 BOSSes going berserk.
In short, it adheres to the principle that the forest is the most dangerous area on land.
In a word, chaos!
In addition, the trees are dense and airtight, and the sunlight that shines in is limited, making the entire forest extremely dim, which is somewhat frightening.
Jiang Han was not careless and proceeded at a moderate speed.
However, what surprised him was that along the way, whenever monsters encountered him, they all chose to run away without exception, without any fighting spirit.
In fact, Jiang Han even saw in the eyes of these various monsters...
Fear.
Yes, this emotion, which usually appears on players, was reversed today and appeared in the eyes of these monsters living in the forest, and among them, there were even some high-level monsters.
"Strange."
Jiang Han was a little puzzled. He did not summon Little Gray or Little Luo, but traveled alone.
It's understandable for some low-level monsters that are naturally timid to run away, but why are even level 70 or 80 monsters so afraid?
Their reaction is even more exaggerated than the aberrant creatures on the battlefield.
After all, those aberrant creatures would at most not actively appear in front of Jiang Han, but once they found his trace, they would still pounce on him and fight.
Now it's good, it's like a head teacher entering an underage game hall, wherever he goes, everything retreats.
"Could it be that I'm already ugly to this point?"
Jiang Han touched his chin, puzzled, "Or is someone mocking me?"
However, while sighing, he certainly knew that there must be something causing this situation, but what it was, he didn't know very well.
"But this is also good, saving the effort of leveling up along the way."
Although he really wanted to figure out the reason, he didn't have any good way for a while, so he let it go.
In this way, he went deep into the Everfall Forest.
The journey that might have taken several days originally, Jiang Han arrived at the depths of the Divine Grace Forest in just two days.
Roar!
And here, he finally saw the first monster that dared to attack.
[Bloodthirsty Beast (Lv60-Aberrant)]
Unsurprisingly, it was an aberrant creature. There were no other companions nearby. The first second it saw Jiang Han, it roared and pounced on him.
"It has to be an aberrant!"
Jiang Han was filled with emotion. After being idle for two days, seeing an aberrant creature, he actually had a feeling of old friends meeting and tears in their eyes.
Boom!
[-178960]
It's just that this level of small fry obviously couldn't pose any threat, and he didn't even need to summon Little Gray and Little Luo. Jiang Han, with tears in his eyes, sent the Bloodthirsty Beast to its death with a fireball.
Just a slight move is already the limit of this level.
Continue to move forward.
As he went deeper inside, the number of aberrant creatures increased. To save trouble, Jiang Han summoned Little Luo.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
An expert knows if there is one as soon as he makes a move.
Facing these creatures gathered together on a small scale, Little Luo could burn them all to ashes without any effort, including even level 70 or 80 aberrant creatures.
He went deep for another half day.
"It's getting more and more dangerous..."
Jiang Han narrowed his eyes. Judging from the frequency of aberrant appearances now, it is no less than the initial Boundary Battlefield.
But...
Still acceptable.
With Little Luo, Jiang Han cut a bloody path all the way.
[Ding! Congratulations, your level has been raised to Lv61, and you have gained 120 distributable attribute points.]
[Ding! Congratulations, your pet 'Lord Luo' has been raised to Lv61, Strength +300, Constitution +300, Spirit +300, Agility +300]
[Ding! Congratulations, your pet 'Little Gray' has been raised to Lv61, Strength +300, Constitution +300, Spirit +300, Agility +300]
As expected, the level was raised to 61.
Unfortunately, although the aberrant creatures here act in groups, their behavior is somewhat different from that in the Boundary Battlefield. There, they are scattered in the Lord's Forest, while here, a wave appears from time to time.
Otherwise, the current level increase should be more than this.
However, Jiang Han didn't care too much. At the level 60 stage, it only took a few days to improve efficiency, which is many times more than other players.
Until now, no one has reached level 30 yet.
In this crazy slaughter, Jiang Han finally killed his way to the location recorded on the map.
Compared to other places, the Everfall Forest is indeed much easier to identify. They are all tall fir trees with thick trunks.
Woo!
Just as he approached, he suddenly heard a very strange sound from inside the forest.
If he heard correctly, it seems to be...
The sound of bagpipes?
"In such a dangerous environment, there are still people playing music?"
"What kind of artist is this?"
Jiang Han frowned, something must be up.
Following the sound of the bagpipes, Jiang Han remained vigilant, pushed aside the dense jungle, and slowly went deeper.
Unlike what he imagined, he was not attacked along the way, and he couldn't even see any creatures when he looked around.
And the sound of the bagpipes was already close at hand.
