Chapter 2953

Angel originally wanted to walk in a random direction to see if he could find a way out of the forest.

In other words, in this dark forest, can you find guidance to leave the omen.

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

He vaguely felt that something was wrong around him, but he couldn't find out what was wrong for a moment. However, the pressure of the spiritual sense on the center of the eyebrows reminded him that the forest did not seem as simple as it looked, and it hidden some unspeakable danger.

"Where will the danger come from?" Angel stretched out his finger and rubbed the swollen eyebrows, trying to increase the effect of psychic perception. But it didn't have any effect. Instead, it made the rush of spiritual consciousness slowly disappear.

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

Angel knew very well that the pressure in the middle of the eyebrow just now was definitely not an illusion. There must be something wrong here.. Now that the spirit is silent, he can only try to capture the things around him through his eyes and analyze the source of danger.

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

Or... The forest itself is dangerous? For example, the surrounding trees, in fact, hide wisdom, which can turn into evil towering tree people?

As angel's thoughts soared, several shrill crows suddenly came into his ears.

There are crows in the forest?

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

The size of the black shadow is very similar to that of a crow, and when flying over, you can hear the sound of fluttering wings. There is a high probability that it is a crow.

Although these creatures suspected of crows disappeared in the blink of an eye, their shrill calls never stopped. It seems that these crows have been wandering near angel.

Does the danger come from crows?

In the wizard world, crows are often used as eyes. Moreover, crows have always been small-minded and will report their grievances. There are also wizards who herd crows to warn people close by using the metaphor of their character.

Angel doesn't know whether these crows are released or the eyes of some extraordinary person, but after all, this is only in the "omen", so it shouldn't come up with any hidden metaphor?

Perhaps these crows are not the source of danger, but the foil of the atmosphere?

After all, even angel will feel inexplicably uneasy when he listens to the crows crowing like the voice of the dead in his ear and looks at the dark forest in front of him.

The gloomy atmosphere here has obviously been set off by the crows hiding in the shadow.

Holding back the surging thoughts in his heart, angel refocused his attention on the present.

It's not the way to stop in place all the time. Angel thought about it and decided to go in another direction.

Maybe the previous sense of danger was because he was going in the wrong direction? As long as you find the right direction, you can get rid of the premonition of danger?

In another direction, angel took a few more steps.

The lack of awakening seems to mean that changing direction can really get rid of danger? However, angel felt that it was not so simple, and the spirit didn't remind him, perhaps just because it had reminded him before.

Angel ignored and continued to take a few steps.

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

The trees around seem to be getting thicker and bigger!

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

A few seconds later, angel stopped again.

At this moment, his expression is not as calm as before, because he found... The truth.

——The tree hasn't changed. What has changed is himself. His body has shrunk.

The forest is like Gulliver's tunnel. Every time he takes a step forward, his body shrinks.

This reduction does not make angel's body feel different, as if it naturally becomes smaller. Therefore, angel didn't notice at first. If it weren't for the spiritual reminder, angel might have to wait until all the surrounding trees become towering trees before he found his abnormality.

However, there are rules for shrinking. It will shrink only when you walk, but not when you stop.

That means stopping is the "solution"?

Absolutely not.

Angel tried to stop and analyze the surrounding situation, but the more he stopped, the more he didn't want to move and didn't dare to move. It seemed that after he noticed the law of shrinking, "stop" became an inner safety island, which made him more reluctant to take steps.

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

"Every step will shrink. Is that the hint of this strange omen?"

Angel thought in his heart and took the initiative to start more tests related to the shrinking law around him.

Angel seems to be wandering, but he is actually testing the impact of different aspects, different walking methods, and various factors on shrinking. He also climbed trees and even ran some distance with all his strength.

In the end, he got a bad result:

Shrinking is not affected by any other factors. As long as you walk, no matter what posture, even if you crawl forward, you will shrink. Running, on the other hand, speeds up the contraction.

In other words, if he wants to find a solution to the abnormal omen, he is bound to shrink, and this shrinkage will continue. Eventually, it may become smaller than dust.

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

Since the first crow crow sounded in angel's ear. This group of crows hidden in the dark have never left. They shout twice from time to time, showing their sense of existence.

There is no doubt that these crows are secretly peeping at him in the dark.

Today's angel, after a series of previous tests, although his body has been a big circle smaller, his height is half a head shorter than before. But at least he still maintains the body shape of an adult. In the face of crows hiding in the shadow of the forest, he still has a certain advantage. By comparing a hunter with his prey, he is now barely a hunter.

But as he shrinks and becomes almost the same size as the kulakuka, then the hunter and prey will translocate.

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

Angel believed that at that time, the crow would fly out of the dark and attack him.

"The forest that can make people smaller, and the ravens eyeing nearby." Angel whispered: is this the test of this strange omen?

Angel knows that it is difficult to guess what the real test of the omen is, but the biggest dilemma at present is to solve the problem of becoming smaller and solve the crows in the dark.

How to solve the dilemma? Will you stop first and try to kill the crow?

No, crows don't attack now, which means they also know the law of forest shrinking, so they will not attack until they change their positions.

Stop, the crow will not attack. On the contrary, it will be hinted by the psychology in the dark, so that the more he stops, the more he dare not move.

But what if you don't stop? Does the crow need to be solved? Or are crows and shrinking just a kind of psychological oppression, forcing him to panic and make him ignore the clues hidden in the dark?

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

……

Angel didn't care about the changes of his body and began to walk in the forest. At first, he planned to look for "human traces". If there were human traces, he might find a way out.

But after looking for a while, the human trace was not found, but the footprints of some animals were found.

This footprint was found under a rotten broad-leaved forest. The footprint is very small, almost like a baby's fist, but it goes very deep into the ground.

Angel didn't recognize the shape of the footprints, because the footprints were filled with water, which had turned the clear footprints into mud.

Can this footprint be a clue? Angel didn't know, but he decided to look around his footprints.

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

As soon as he looked for it, angel was three centimeters shorter. However, I found the second footprint after all.

It is worth mentioning that the second footprint and the first footprint should be left by the same animal, but they are far apart. It seems that this animal has a big step four meters away?

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 is the crow, and the second is the owner of this footprint.

The crow is the enemy who peeps in the dark. Will the owner of this footprint be the ringer of this strange omen?

After thinking for a moment, angel decided to follow the direction of the footprints and find the owner of the footprints.

This search is five centimeters away.

However, this time angel found about ten footprints. It is basically certain that the owner of this footprints did not shrink.

Although the owner of the footprint leaves a footprint on the left and a footprint on the right, the general direction is determined.

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

Continue to follow the footsteps. This time, angel stopped two centimeters shorter.

It's not that he found the owner of the footprints, and angel didn't intend to give up, but... His previously silent spiritual consciousness suddenly woke up.

This time, the revived psychic sense no longer gave angel the warning of danger as before, but gave angel a vague guidance: it seemed that his psychic sense echoed somewhere in the forest.

At the same time, psychic awareness guided angel in a general direction - due north.

However, the walking direction of the footprint is the Northwest with his current coordinate origin.

Although it is not the opposite, it also deviates from a great angle.

Moreover, angel can roughly estimate that the position guided by the spirit is at least nearly kilometers away from his current position.

Not to mention whether there will be a detour on the way, even if you walk in a straight line, according to the law of shrinking, and the scale of the step that will become smaller after shrinking, when you reach the target position, it is estimated that his body size will also be reduced to half of what it is now, becoming a shape similar to a dwarf or a halfling.

Although it is not immediately reduced to prey, the crow is qualified to attack him.

There are few opportunities for him. Now the biggest problem facing angel is whether to choose footprints or believe in spirituality?

Angel stopped and was lost in thought.

About half a minute later, angel set foot again. This time, instead of following his footsteps, he chose to believe in spiritual awareness and go to the North!

The reason for making this choice is angel's trust in the "absolute self".

Spirituality is wonderful. It can be said to be inspiration or spirituality. It comes from itself, is the guide of deep thinking, is the generalization of the sea of energy ether, and is the outlet of cellular consciousness.

It is also an intuition from the inside out.

In a more straightforward language, this is an absolute self.

Superficial self, and may be deceived. But for the deeper absolute self, the probability of being cheated is very small.

At least, in the wizard world of southern regions, angel has never seen the ability to deceive the absolute self.

So he chose to believe in spirituality.

However, this time, the sudden emergence of spiritual awareness also has strange places. For example, spirituality can foretell danger and make a decision when hesitating, but it can direct the way directly, and even the end coordinates of the way have appeared.

That's strange.

It's not that psychic awareness can't do this, but there is generally only one kind of thing that can achieve this situation: what is deeply related to angel in the place of guidance, and even that there are items on angel in the coordinate point, which will lead to the "strongly related" psychic awareness.

But angel was sure there was nothing missing.

If you insist, there is probably only thinking space.

But thinking space is the least likely to be lost. Although angel can't perceive it now, he can be sure that the thinking space has been following him in the higher dimension. Otherwise, the spirit will not appear.

Since it is not a thinking space, and there are no other lost items on angel, why does such a "strongly related" psychic consciousness appear?

Angel didn't know, but he decided to see it himself.

……

After another ten minutes, angel had shrunk by about 30 centimeters.

However, it is getting closer and closer to the target point.

The crow's cry didn't disappear, but it kept ringing in my ears. But with the exception of the ravens, angel found no other danger in the forest... No other animals.

This seems to mean that the footprints of the previous animals may be the only animals in the forest?

If so, would his choice be wrong? You shouldn't believe in spirituality, but in footprints?

A trace of confusion appeared in angel's heart.

Do you want to step back? Step back now. Maybe there's still time?

It seems that a voice in angel's heart is constantly bewitching him to step back and try to find footprints, but angel still doesn't stop after careful consideration.

Now step back, you may be able to find the footprints soon, but where is the end of the footprints? Can his size support him to the end of his footprint? It's hard to say.

However, if we choose to move forward, at least angel has a set goal.

Compared with searching for footprints aimlessly, moving forward with a goal can at least give him a... Result.
