Becoming a creator in prehistory

Chapter 98 The Fog in the Northern Forest
It took a lot of effort for Ashmi to calm down the goat dragonborn.

However, this abnormal phenomenon still aroused his vigilance.

"Being able to keep goats from approaching, it seems that there is no small problem in the northern forest.

Benu, you stay here, I will go ahead to see the situation myself.

If I don't return before dark, you return to the Druid's Ring, and you'll be safe with the goats. "

After all, Ashmi ignored the worry on Benu's face and walked straight ahead.

He was extremely vigilant, keeping an eye on the movements around him.

Looking at the dried corpses hanging from the surrounding trees, he knew that they were the poachers caught by the druids.

Compared with the southern forest where druids are most widely distributed, the number of druids in the north is much smaller, and this place has also become a place visited by small groups of illegal loggers.

With the continuous expansion of Hengcheng, the gold family's demand for wood is increasing day by day.

Especially the intervention of druids has caused the price of wood to rise. As long as it is profitable, many people are willing to take this risk.

Even the privileged nobles in Hengcheng will be moved by the huge benefits.

Ashmi had reason to suspect that the druids disappeared in the northern forest because of the collusion between the loggers and the nobles of Hengcheng.

After all, the hunting season is about to begin, and the main force of the druids is pinned down in the south and cannot be mobilized. This is a good opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity.

Thinking of this, Ashmi took out an acorn from his pocket and clasped it in his hand, ready to use it immediately if something went wrong.

However, as he continued to go deeper into this place, the above guesses gradually wavered.

There is no sign of large-scale felling in the forest, let alone signs of illegal loggers. Everything in the forest seems normal.

"What's going on? Am I guessing wrong? If it wasn't for being killed by a bandit logger, then where did the druids who stayed here go?"

Everything around him was so normal that he didn't have a clue for a while.

Just as Ashmi was trying to find clues, a hiss suddenly came from the tree behind him.

Instinctively, he threw the dagger out of his hand.

Years of honed skills did not disappoint him, the dagger accurately nailed a poisonous snake on the tree.

Realizing that it was a false alarm, Ashmi stepped forward, trying to pull out the dagger.

However, he knew that once a beast like a poisonous snake was injured, it would arouse its ferocity, and if it did not operate properly, it would be injured by it.

While carefully guarding against the snake's violent rise, he pulled out the dagger from its body.

During this process, the snake also cooperated surprisingly, except for the continuous hissing sound, it did not show any aggressiveness at all.

This special situation made Ashmi amazed. It was the first time he had encountered such a non-aggressive snake. If he hadn't had important matters to do, he would definitely try to tame this snake.

As mentioned before, druids have different masters, and the direction of emphasis will also be different.

And the Menghu lineage has a lot of research on taming wild animals. As his student, Ashmi naturally has a lot of achievements in this area.

The goat-dragon descendant that was inseparable from him was a case that he discovered in the forest many years ago and finally successfully tamed it.

The snake in front of him was not seriously injured, and Ashmi applied herbal medicine on it and let it go away.

However, after the snake hissed at him, it fell down motionless, as if dead.

Ashmi doesn't have the ability to communicate with animals, he doesn't know what it means, this is just an episode for him.

He didn't pay attention to the snake any more, but continued to walk towards the distance. Finding the clues of the missing druid here is the most important thing now.

Not long after he left, two figures, one man and one sheep appeared here.

That's right, they are exactly Benu and the goat dragonborn.

In the end, he still didn't listen to Ashmi's words, and obediently waited on the spot.

While holding a carrot to lure the goat to go forward, he pulled the goat forward by its horns.

"Come on, Jindu is here, so don't resist anymore.

If the teacher really wants to blame it, it's scolding me, so stop coddling it. "

Despite the temptation of food, the goat-dragonspawn resisted.

Bennusen tugged for a long time, but he didn't let the goat go too far.

Tired and out of breath, he leaned against the big tree and sat down.

Before he could take a good rest, he felt something dripping onto his shoulder.

He looked sideways, only to find that it was a drop of golden yellow liquid.

This thing came out of a gap in the tree. What Benu didn't know was that this gap was made when Ashmi stabbed the snake with a dagger.

With little experience in the field, he thought the golden liquid was some kind of tree sap, so he reached out and touched it.

However, the moment he came into contact with the golden liquid, he seemed to be pulled into a fantasy.

Now he found himself in a dark abyss, and now he was on a golden lake.

Fragmented phantoms kept flickering, and he saw strange druids being attacked and killed by the black mist one after another.

Their bodies were disintegrated into the ground by the trees, and their souls became part of the cycle.

Some of them became ghosts, a part of the black mist, and some of them turned into beasts, as if they were going through some kind of special cycle.

Benu's heart was full of hesitation, he didn't know how to get rid of the grotesque illusion in front of him, until he heard someone calling his name.

"Benu, don't sleep, wake me up."

Hearing this familiar voice, Benu opened his eyes with difficulty, and his teacher had already appeared in front of him.

That's right, it was Ashmi who woke him up. He almost searched the surroundings, but he still didn't find any useful clues.

When he returned the same way, he saw Benu lying under the tree and sleeping soundly. One can imagine his mood at this time.

Seeing the teacher's unwavering expression, Benu quickly told what happened to him.

After hearing this, Ashmi asked in doubt:
"You said that you saw the abyss and the golden lake in your dream, and also saw the druids being attacked by the dead fog, and finally turned into ghosts and animals?

Benu, did you really fall asleep, or do you want to use this outrageous excuse to excuse yourself. "

Everything Benu said was indeed bizarre, even he himself thought so.

However, everything he saw in the phantom in the dream was always vivid, and he couldn't help but believe it.

Seeing what Benu said with certainty, Ashmi couldn't help but believe it a bit.

"Well, although you didn't obey my arrangement, it's stupid to step here without permission.

But I believe you shouldn't fool me with such clumsy stories. Let's stay overnight in the outskirts of the northern forest tonight and see what happens. "

It was very foggy that night.

When he saw the black death mist churning continuously in the forest and emitting a terrifying strange howl, Ashmi's face became more solemn than ever.

"My lord, what the hell is this!"
