Chapter 712 - 712 Regret
712 Regret
Sun Wen looked at the few of them and sighed. He explained, “After today’s observation, Derek Dole and I found something wrong with the forest that Liu Yan and the others entered. When we first explored that area, we felt something wrong with the forest. However, we didn’t think too much about it at that time, nor did we observe it. Now that I think about it, I regret it. If we had observed more at that time, we might have been able to inform Captain in advance. They wouldn’t have explored the forest and encountered any trouble. In the end, it’s all our fault.”
Luo Qingcheng, Murong Xue, and the others were shocked when they heard this. There was something wrong with that forest?
If that were the case, then Liu Yan and the others might be in trouble.
Murong Xue, Luo Qingcheng, and the others had just held onto their last hope, but it was instantly destroyed.
Sun Wen continued, “When we were waiting, we felt there was something wrong with this forest. After careful observation, we finally discovered the reason. There were only a few small animals on the periphery of the entire forest, and these small animals did not have any strength. There were no other living creatures, not a single living creature. In addition, after careful perception, we discovered that the entire forest was like an abyss without a sound. It’s extremely quiet, so quiet that it’s strange.”
When Murong Xue heard this, she couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong with it? Isn’t it just that there aren’t any fierce beasts on the outskirts of the forest, so the forest is a little quiet?”
Murong Xue looked at Derek Dole and Sun Wen in confusion. She didn’t understand what these two people were so suspicious about.
“Yeah. There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with this.” Jin Cheng was also confused.
He Yang was also puzzled. “The fierce beasts might all be in the forest. What’s wrong with this? ”
“I don’t understand either.” Chu Long shook her head.
At this time, Luo Qingcheng slowly explained, “A normal forest is full of life. Because there is a lot of life in the forest, there will be a lot of various creatures. And this forest only had a few small animals on the periphery, which was very abnormal. Secondly, it was impossible for the fierce beasts in the forest to all hide inside. There would be some weak fierce beasts moving around the outer edge of the forest. It was impossible for there to be no fierce beasts. Finally, there were all kinds of living creatures in the forest. Logically, there should be chirping of birds, insects, and all kinds of ferocious creatures. Even if they were far away, they should be able to hear them faintly. However, it was quiet, and they could not hear anything. It could only mean one thing-there was not a single living creature in this forest, at least in the outer area!”
After listening to Luo Qingcheng’s explanation, Murong Xue and the rest seemed to have understood the situation. They realized something wrong with this forest but did not fully understand what was it.
“If that’s the case, why there’s no living creature in this forest, but there are a few small animals in the periphery?” Murong Xue asked in puzzlement.
He Yang thought about it carefully and felt a chill down his spine. “What kind of existence could kill all the creatures in the forest? Isn’t it a little too strong?”
Jin Cheng was also surprised. “This forest is full of elemental energy. The beasts here are probably not weak. If they can kill all the creatures here, they must be very powerful.
“What is the reason?” Chu Long couldn’t help but ask.
They looked at Luo Qingcheng, Sun Wen, and Derek Dole, wanting to hear the explanation.
Derek Dole smiled bitterly. “To be able to kill all the creatures in the forest, this kind of existence is either powerful to the point of being invincible, or they have a large number of them who can drown everything with their numbers. No matter which possibility it is, I’m afraid we can’t save Captain and the others from this forest even if we sacrifice the entire team.”
Sun Wen nodded and said, “Also, this terrifying existence has left a few small animals at the periphery of the forest. There are living creatures, but they are not strong or threatening. It seems to be deliberately creating a peaceful scene where many living things are in the forest. But in reality, this is a trap set up by the other party to lure us into this forest. I regret it now. If I had observed a little longer, I might have noticed something was wrong earlier, and I could have helped Captain and the others avoid the dangers. They would not have entered this dangerous and strange forest to explore, and there would not be such danger now.”
At this moment, Sun Wen and Derek Dole were filled with regret.
When the two of them first explored this place, they faintly felt something was off.
But the two of them didn’t delve into it.
Now that he thought about it, if both of them could feel something was wrong, it must not be an illusion.
At this time, Luo Qingcheng knew the whole story of the matter, but there was nothing she could do.
After all, it had already happened, and nothing could be changed.
At the same time, Luo Qingcheng knew she could not blame Derek Dole and Sun Wen for this matter. They did not do it on purpose. They could not investigate everything clearly when they were exploring the terrain.
Luo Qingcheng sighed and said helplessly, “Forget it. What has happened has already happened. Let’s not dwell on the past. We should think about what to do now and how to save Captain and the others.”
He Yang nodded and said, “No matter what, we must save Captain and the others. It’s worth it no matter what it takes. If Captain doesn’t come back, Team Origin will be finished. If we don’t save Captain now, we’re just waiting for death.”
“I want to save Captain,” Jin Cheng said helplessly. “But how do we do it?”
“What else can we do? Let’s form a small team of experts and take the risk to find them in the forest. We’ll rescue Liu Yan and the others.” Murong Xue directly replied.
When Sun Wen heard this, he immediately objected, “No, we can do anything but enter that forest. That kind of existence is too terrifying. No matter how many people go in, we’ll just be sending ourselves to deaths. There’s no point at all.”
Derek Dole also followed, “That’s right. That kind of existence is too terrifying. It’s not an existence that we can afford to provoke.”
“Then what else do you guys think we can do? Liu Yan and the others are in the forest. If we don’t enter the forest, is there any other way to find and save Liu Yan?” Murong Xue asked.
