Chapter 365 Finally, a living person was seen.
The unchanging darkness is like thick ink that cannot be dissolved.
Lin Fan walked through the dark, dense forest, shining a powerful flashlight.
Upon re-entering the Dark Forest, he clearly sensed that the environment here was different from the one he had entered before.
Here, the sound was not completely swallowed up; he could feel the faint rustling sounds of his footsteps on the withered branches and leaves.
At the same time, the temperature here is even colder than the Black Forest he entered before.
Soon, he found traces of people walking on the ground. The footprints were somewhat messy, indicating that there were quite a few people.
"Was it left behind by Domingo and his men?"
He observed for a while, but couldn't be sure, so he could only lift his foot and walk deeper into the area.
Here, there is nothing but darkness, and time seems to have disappeared.
He didn't know how long he had walked until, after rounding a giant black tree, he suddenly stopped and took a step.
In the beam of the flashlight ahead, a corpse was revealed.
A male corpse.
He was wearing a long black robe with a golden octopus embroidered on the chest.
Lin Fan recognized it at a glance; it was the attire of the True God Cult.
And they weren't just ordinary members.
The corpse's face was bluish, its eyes were wide open, and its mouth was agape.
There were no external injuries or signs of poisoning.
The expression on his face looked terrified.
"Was she scared to death?"
He muttered something to himself, then became puzzled again.
"What could scare someone like that?"
He couldn't imagine what could scare someone to death.
After observing for a while and finding it to be of no use, he could only continue walking forward.
But after walking for a short while, he saw another corpse. It had the same frozen, terrified expression as the previous one.
What happened to them?
Lin Fan didn't linger, continuing forward with curiosity, while also wondering if he would encounter more corpses later.
As if in response to his conjecture.
He hadn't gone far when he saw another corpse.
Similarly, he was also a believer wearing a True God cult robe, and he died in the same way.
Seeing this, Lin Fan's expression also became serious.
There won't be any more ahead... will there?
As it turned out, he was right.
As he continued forward, the intervals between the corpses he encountered became shorter and shorter.
He has discovered eight bodies along the way.
Night Owl had told him before that Domingo had brought more than twenty people with him. However, in this short distance, eight of them had already died.
Are the remaining... still alive?
however,
Just as Lin Fan was wondering whether it was necessary to continue the search, a faint, rustling sound came from the dark, dense forest.
Listen carefully, and it sounds like people are talking in hushed tones.
He held his breath and carefully tried to pinpoint the direction of the sound.
The sound came from his left...
It was intermittent and hard to hear clearly, but I could tell it was a human voice.
Without hesitation, he immediately walked in the direction from which the sound came.
After walking about a hundred meters, a clearing appeared in the light of the flashlight.
There were still people in the open space.
And there were five living, breathing people there.
However, the five people were huddled together, trembling, as if they had just gone through something. And one of them was none other than his main target for this trip... Domingo.
Seeing that the old man was still alive, Lin Fan visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
at the same time,
The five people were also drawn by the light and subconsciously turned their heads to look at Lin Fan.
However, due to the dim light, they couldn't see the person's face clearly.
But in this environment, those who can use a flashlight...
It is undoubtedly a living person!
Upon seeing living people appear, the five men's faces lit up with unprecedented joy.
"Is...is it a person?"
One of the young men even cried out, his voice trembling.
"Alright, stop shouting. Aren't you afraid of attracting wolves?"
Lin Fan impatiently walked up to the group, and seeing Domingo's terrified expression, couldn't help but tease him.
"Old man, what's wrong with you? Didn't you say you came to purify the darkness? Why are you squatting here?"
Only then did Domingo recognize Lin Fan's voice.
He crawled excitedly to Lin Fan as if he had seen a savior and grasped at a straw.
He opened his mouth as if to speak, but only a few indistinct syllables came out of his throat.
"Um?"
Upon seeing this, Lin Fan frowned immediately.
Then he looked at the others:
"What's wrong with him?"
"We encountered those monsters; they...they've taken so many lives..."
The young man answered tremblingly.
But before he could finish speaking, Lin Fan impatiently interrupted him.
"I asked you, what's wrong with this old man? Don't give me that nonsense."
"Well……"
The young man paused for a moment, then said, "My lord, the bishop... his voice has been taken away by those monsters..."
"Take away your voice? What the hell?"
Lin Fan didn't understand what the other person meant for a moment.
"A dark figure."
The man's explanation was somewhat incoherent.
"Those dark figures will take everything from the living, and there are so many of them, surrounding us from all directions. We ran for a long time... but no matter where we ran, they were there..."
Lin Fan listened while frowning and looking around:
"So, only a few of you are still alive?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the group changed, and then they all fell silent.
no……
What does this mean?
"I'm asking you a question."
Lin Fan looked at the silent group, his voice turning cold.
"There were over twenty of you, surely there aren't just a few of you left?"
However, he was met with silence in response.
Just as he couldn't help but want to hit someone.
One of them finally spoke up.
However, his voice was very dry, as if it had been scraped from sandpaper.
"It's just us left. They...they didn't manage to escape."
"What do you mean?"
"We're surrounded."
The man's eyes darted around, as if he were wary of something, and he continued,
"The dark figures swarmed in from all directions. We...we ran. But some people couldn't make it..."
His voice began to tremble as he said this.
"I saw it with my own eyes... I saw Lao Fei being dragged into the darkness by those things... and Xiao An... and..."
"Alright."
Lin Fan was too lazy to listen to this nonsense, so he interrupted him.
"You guys help Domingo up, and now come with me."
The five people looked at each other, but no one moved.
"What? Don't you want to leave?"
The young man said in a trembling voice:
"Outside...outside are all those things. We just tried, we can't get out."
"Can't get out?"
"No matter which direction we go, we'll encounter those dark figures. We've already gone in circles several times..."
Lin Fan frowned.
Looking back in the direction I came from...
However, he was stunned the next moment.
Am I from this side?
