Chapter 861: Purple Fog Forest

Barbarian Ruin did not have many chances to mess with Abel during this 2 days journey . He needed to maintain the mounts’ battle mode with his body energy and the mana he was lacking .

Therefore Barbarian needed to rest most of the day to recover his mana .

The past 2 days, they made their way through towns and cities, but they arrived at a patch of scattered rocks after passing through a mountain peak . People were nowhere to be seen, and a forest soon appeared .

It was noon . The sun was blazing on the trees with patches of purple fog in the mist . The place looked mysterious and beautiful .

However, Abel did not think that way as he sat on the back of Black Wind . That forest gave him an unbearable sense of danger .

“Wizard Abel, that’s the purple fog forest . From now on, things will start to get dangerous any time . Be careful!” The priest pointed at the forest upfront and said .

Abel remembered the purple fog forest marking on the map . It was on edge . There were no markings beyond it .

“Sir priest, what dangers are there?” Abel asked .

He was the only one in the team never been to this place . He didn’t know a single thing, but the others looked quite prepared .

“The fog in the purple fog forest can hypnotize you, and there are many poisonous creatures and spiritual beasts romancing around . It’s best not to let your defense spells stop!” The priest explained .

“If you can’t even make it through, then it’s best for you to go back . You’ll just be killing yourself in the ancient sight!” Barbarian Ruin chuckled .

“Ruin, we are a team . Don’t say that!” Half-elf Leon interrupted and turned to Abel, “Just be careful . The hypnotizing fog and the poisonous creatures are much more dangerous than spiritual beasts!”

Afterward, he affected a wind armor on him and summoned his Oak Sage, Raven, and Poison Creepers .

The priest added a bone armor on himself, and 3 bone energy shields surrounded him . He then twisted his body, and 8 skeletons emerged beside him .

Seeing everyone was getting prepared, Abel first used an energy shield and then an ice armor . If he didn’t want to keep it low key, he would have added bone armor .

Barbarian Ruin didn’t do much . He only roared 2 more times and further strengthened the battle mode .

Abel was feeling great . The roar of Barbarian Ruin increased his defense, and the Oak Sage had increased his energy, mana, and stamina . He felt like his body had leveled up in all aspects .

Barbarian Ruin gently tapped on his mount wolf and speeded into the purple fog forest as he took out a battle ax .

Half-elf Leon, the priest, and the 8 skeletons followed, so Abel did the same .

Abel stayed at the very back and took out his leaf magic staff .

At first, there was still sunlight sifting through, but as they got deeper, the trees got bigger . On top of the dense purple fog, the place was getting eerie .

“Die!” Barbarian yelled as he chopped a light green poisonous snake who tried to attack him from a branch in half . He was a big guy, but his speed should be underestimated .

Although it was a little ridiculous to see a Barbarian chopping a little snake with a shield size ax, you could get a sense of how much control Barbarian Ruin had over his ax . The head of the snake was effortlessly sliding off .

“Ruin, you are more experienced when it comes to things like this, I’ll leave them to you!” The priest said .

“Wizard Abel, Barbarians are born with good senses . They grow up in harsh environments, so it’s easy for them to deal with poisonous bugs . Also, Ruin is an expert in weapons . His battle-ax is amazing, so he will open up a path for us!” Half-elf Leon quietly explained to Abel . Unlike Barbarian Ruin, he was very friendly with Abel .

“Druid Leon, how much longer until we can make it through the purple fog forest?” Abel looked around and asked .

“If everything goes smoothly, it might take a daw!” Half-elf Leon replied .

“Wizard Abel, do you have any poison antidotes on you?” The priest suddenly interrupted .

“Yes!” Abel replied .

“Good, I forgot to remind you before we set off . You need to use one every hour . Otherwise, you will be affected by the fog . If you don’t have enough on you, I can lend you some!” The priest twitched his face and said in a sorry tone .

Abel rolled his eyes . This priest really was cunning . He knew why he didn’t tell him about the poison antidote earlier . If he ran out of poison antidote in the most crucial moment, he would have to get it from the priest, and then he would owe the priest a favor .

If he didn’t see how this priest was during the last battle, he would definitely develop some positive feelings towards him .

Abel then ignited his soul speaker ability as he looked around the trees . The trees around began to shake, making the others in the team suspicious for a moment .

Abel carefully controlled his soul speaker ability and began to communicate with the trees . From the trees, the sensation began to spread throughout the forest .

Half-elf Leon looked back at Abel . To his surprise, Abel almost looked like he was in one with the forest .

He almost gasped . Abel was a soul speaker . Soul speakers were rare even among elves, let alone humans .

Although half-elf Leon was an elite druid, he could only communicate with animals . He could not communicate with plants . That’s why being a soul speaker was the best gift a Druid could have .

Abel realized half-elf Leon was looking at him, but he didn’t care . The soul speaker ability was not really worth hiding for him anyway .

However, half-elf Leon kept his mouth shut . He knew Abel was not lying when he said he was close with the elves . Abel was a soul speaker, after all .

After half a day, Barbarian Ruin struck countless times with his ax . Besides poisonous creatures, he also chopped off many weeds and creepers along the way .

“I’m tired . Wizard, since you are doing nothing, you take it from here!” Barbarian Ruin suddenly stopped his mad wolf and turned to Abel .

He had been killing things for half a day while concentrating on the direction and surroundings .

As for the priest, he had been guarding the team with the skeletons . He also threw out spells from time to time to kill off the poisonous creatures Barbarian Ruin left out . Those weak creatures could not escape the eyes of a skeleton .

Half-elf Leon was also killing off poisonous creatures with his iron cane . His wind armor could only protect him from elemental attacks . It was helpless against the bite of bugs .

They didn’t dare to let their guard down during the past 3 and a half days . The roar and battle mode of Barbarian Ruin was carefully maintained . He would replenish or as soon as it began to fade . The priest also did the same with his bone armor and half-elf Leon with his wind armor .

Abel had done too little to do compared to the others . At first, he still replenished his ice armor and energy shield, but he began to get lazy as he kept going . In the end, he was just walking without any defense .

This was all because no poisonous creatures had attacked him .

Barbarian Ruin and the priest both realized this . They didn’t know if Abel was really this lucky or he had his reasons, but half-elf Leon knew it was because of the soul speaker ability .

However, half-elf Leon couldn’t figure out how Abel could maintain it for so long . As far as he knew, the soul speaker ability drained a lot of power of the will .

Abel also realized that it was almost like he had merged to one with the forest ever since he ignited the soul speaker ability .

He was like a member of the forest, so no bugs or creatures would attack him .

Yes, the soul speaker ability was very draining to the power of the will . But with Abel’s strong foundation, sustaining the soul speaker ability for a few days shouldn’t be a problem .

The priest did not reject Barbarian Ruin’s request . This might not be the case when they first enter the forest, but what was happening to Abel was too strange . Maybe Abel had some kind of special ability in the forest .

“Ok, but I don’t know the direction!” Abel agreed .

“I will point it out . Just follow my guide, and you’ll be fine!” Barbarian Ruin moved away and said .

Abel gently padded Black Wind, and they arrived at the front of the team .

“Wizard Abel, let’s go!” The priest spoke again, seeing everything was set .

Abel led the team forward, but he didn’t take out any weapons .

Barbarian Ruin looked at Abel with a cold smile and kept quiet . The priest also did not warn Abel . He wanted to see what ability Abel had .

Half-elf Leon knew a soul speaker didn’t need any weapons to open up a path in a forest . A soul speaker was born to be loved by the forest .

Black Wind was noticeable faster than Barbarian Ruin, and no creepers and thorns appeared along the way as though they had all disappeared .

Even poisonous bugs had avoided Abel, but Barbarian Ruin behind Abel would need to block the bugs with his ax from time to time . He just wanted to rest .

Although it was not as bad as him opening the path, he was still being attacked continuously .

The priest saw the team was speeding up . He gazed up at the purple fog and said to Abel, “Wizard Abel, we can’t stay overnight in Purple Fog Forest; we have to get out even when the sky gets dark!”

“Mr priest, as long as the direction is correct, I can go faster!” Abel smiled .

“There’s no need . The speed is good . Just tell me if you need some rest . I’ll swap with you!’ The priest quickly added .

If Abel sped up again, more poisonous bugs would hit him . Although his bone armor had given him an easier time, half-elf Leon and Barbarian Ruin were not having too much fun .

He was very curious about what power Abel has . How come the bugs had avoided him . Those bugs were not as powerful as spiritual beasts, but they were much scarier than normal ones . It wasn’t easy making it through the purple fog . In order to do so, they needed to have a good understanding of the forest and elite level of fighting skills .

Suddenly, Abel came to a halt . Barbarian Ruin following closely behind him, almost crashed onto Black Wind .

“Wizard Abel, why do you stop? Are you tired?” Barbarian Ruin said in irritation .

“Ruin, quiet!” He gently yelled at Barbarian Ruin and turned to Abel, “Is there danger?”

All Elite wizards had an impressive power of the will . They were very sensitive to danger, so Abel’s sudden stop immediately alerted the others .

“Ruin, I don’t know the adventure rules of the Central Continent, but if you keep messing with me, I will leave, and we will forever become enemies!” Abel had his eyes fixed on Barbarian Ruin with a murderous scent sifting out as he lowered his voice .

He and Barbarian Ruin did not get along ever since the start of the adventure, but he just couldn’t tolerate it anymore since they were in the midst of danger .

The priest had asked him to join because he needed a force like Johnson to defeat whatever that was in the ancient . It must be extremely dangerous . Abel was not going to risk his life with a teammate that despised him .

“Abel, you!” Barbarian Ruin wanted to say something, but the priest quickly stopped him .

“Wizard Abel, Barbarian Ruin was hurt by humans in the past, so he doesn’t get along well with humans . But don’t worry, he is a very experienced fighter . He won’t affect our adventure!” The priest explained to Abel .
