Chapter 097 The Ancient Forest that Does Not Exist
“What’s the matter?” Edmund saw Ellen stop and looked at him nervously.
Ellen made a silent gesture, his ears shaking as if he heard something.
“It’s not very safe around here, we have to be vigilant!” Ellen answered and walked forward.
Edmund followed Ellen closely and kept looking around.
Edmund looked at the trees nearby and said to Ellen, “They should still be alive, right?”
Ellen turned around and asked, “Why?”
“Look at the trees around here, they are all full of branches. If they fall from such a high place, they will definitely be caught by these trees and then fall again, so they should be alive!” Edmund analyzed professionally.
“Well, you are quite right. We must find them as soon as possible now, or they will be in danger after a long time!” Ellen added and continued to go.
Nathaniel flew down the cliff with a few skilled field pilots, and was soon obscured by the thick fog below. Now they could only drive by feeling.
“Mr. Nathaniel, we can’t fly down anymore. It’s easy to have an accident!” A pilot said eagerly.
The main purpose of their escort this time was to protect Mr. Nathaniel’s safety. Now they were all very nervous to see him driving down so hard.
Nathaniel had only one thing on his mind at the moment, that is, he must find Rosemary anyway.
The fog was getting heavier and heavier. Only the sound of ticking could be heard. It was raining outside.
With low visibility and the sudden rain, the plane couldn’t move on.
“Mr. Nathaniel, the rain is getting heavier. Shall we go back first and come back tomorrow to find a way?” a pilot begged.
A pilot in the middle suddenly said to Nathaniel, “Mr. Nathaniel, I have heard the old man say before that there used to be an ancient forest around the Snowy Mountain. But I don’t know what happened later. I can’t see it on the periphery. Can we drive the plane up first and then find a map to see if it really exists?”
Nathaniel also knew that he could not drive any further. Although he knew it was unreliable, he had no choice now.
“Is it true what you say?” Nathaniel asked the pilot.
The pilot was afraid that Nathaniel would throw him down from here in anger. He answered in a low voice, “Mr. Nathaniel, our family used to like exploring in the wild. People say that there was an ancient forest near here, so my great grandfather invited some friends to go with him.”
“What happened?” asked a nearby pilot.
The pilot looked at Nathaniel and paused, “After more than a month, my great grandfather came back, locked himself in the study, and then ordered the people in the family not to do exploration anymore!”
“So he didn’t explain?”
“No. Then my grandfather asked several times, but my great grandfather hung him up and beat him. Since then, no one has mentioned this matter.” The pilot told the story slowly.
“Then how did you know?” Nathaniel asked suddenly.
After the pilot paused for a few seconds, he replied, “I knew it when I was a kid eavesdropping on my grandfather’s conversation with my father.”
Nathaniel frowned more and more tightly, then ordered, “Go back tonight and look for information to see if there is such a place?”
“Yes!”
Looking at the drizzle outside, Nathaniel silently shouted in his heart, “Rosemary, you must hold on!”
Rosemary helped Adrian walk step by step through the thorny forest. It was drizzling in the sky, making the whole forest foggy.
“Rosemary, we should find a place to shelter from the rain. The fog is getting heavier now, and we won’t be able to see the road later?” Adrian said, looking at the increasingly dark forest.
“Well, I just saw a tree hollow not far away when I was in front. Let’s go forward!” Rosemary said, breaking the thorns in front with her hand.
Adrian was holding the stick with one hand and helping to break the thorns in the road with the other.
Rosemary was very anxious. If they couldn’t find a place to spend the night, they would be in trouble tonight.
Adrian saw Rosemary walking faster and faster, hurriedly shouted, “Rosemary, don’t walk so fast, you will get lost!”
Finally, Rosemary found a big hollow in the tree, she was so happy that she shouted loudly, “Adrian, I have found a place to spend tonight!”
Turning around, Rosemary found that Adrian was not behind her. She called anxiously, “Adrian, where are you?”
“Adrian…”
“Rosemary, I’m here!”
Fog had covered the whole forest, and one could only see a distance of two or three meters.
Adrian couldn’t see where Rosemary was standing at all, just walked forward by feeling.
“Adrian, can you hear me? Keep talking if you can, and I’ll follow the sound!” Rosemary continued to holler, making a mark on the tree hollow.
Adrian confirm the direction by Rosemary’s voice and walked slowly towards her.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Boom…
Rosemary heard the sound of wrestling and ran desperately in the direction of the sound. When she saw Adrian fall to the ground, she felt very guilty.
“Adrian, are you all right?” Rosemary hurried forward to help him up.
“Nothing, I just tripped over a vine!” Adrian said calmly.
“I have found a tree hollow. let’s go there now!”
Rosemary helped him slowly towards the hollow in the tree. When she saw the red in the white fog, she felt relieved.
“Here it is!”
Now the forest was completely invisible. Adrian had no idea where Rosemary was talking about?
Rosemary gently removed the branch next to the red cloth, revealing a large hollow that could accommodate at least three people.
“Come in! let me help you!”
“Wait a minute!” Adrian stopped Rosemary and pulled a lighter from him.
Then A flash of fire lit up the hollow in the tree.
Adrian saw that there was nothing inside, then turned to Rosemary and said, “You can come in!”
Rosemary got in and asked Adrian, “You have a lighter?”
After glancing at the lighter in his hand, Adrian smiled and answered, “This was the one my assistant asked me to keep for him when filming. I didn’t expect it to work now!”
