Artis!

Leaving the abandoned Blackstone cemetery, after a long investigation, Li Cha figured out what 'Artis' was.

Artis is a place name, to be precise, it is the holy place of the wizarding organization "Jungle Lodge".

The wizarding organization of the jungle hut is not unfamiliar to Li Cha: the other party is located in the southwest of Florent, with the sapling brown robe as the symbolic clothing, and the girl he has been in contact with, the girl whose justice value has exploded - Nai Reid Clark is a member of this organization.

According to the information he obtained from his investigation, the Jungle Cabin is not the same as several other wizarding organizations. Compared with the highly centralized forces of the Whitestone Tower, it is more like a loose association, similar to the Moorish Alliance.

The other party is located in the Witch Forest, and there are more than a dozen gathering places, distributed in a circle. There are quite a few wizards and wizard apprentices in each gathering place. They are independent of each other and have a certain degree of autonomy. They are a whole in name. The so-called San Diego is located in the deepest part of the Witch Forest, surrounded by more than a dozen gathering places.

It is said that this is to allow Artis to be guarded by the people gathered in all the jungle huts. Therefore, not to mention outsiders, even the insiders of the jungle hut, without special circumstances, it is difficult to approach the Holy Land. Forcibly approaching, what you will face is the wrath of the mysterious guardian of the holy land, and the attacks of many jungle hut wizards, it is terrifying to think about it.

But Li Cha was not afraid. At this time, he was trying to find a way to enter a jungle hut gathering place in the Witch Forest according to the established plan.

...

The cold rain was pattering down, and it fell on the person's body, which was icy cold.

The sky was gloomy, as if it had been soaked in ink, or piled up like pieces of lead. Occasionally, there would be flashes of thunder, slightly illuminating the sky and the earth.

On the gray land, strange trees grew out of nowhere, which was the Witch Forest.

Go deep into it, and you will see that every tree in the forest seems to be abnormal. Twisted trunks, tangled branches, gray bark cracked, rain-drenched like wailing mouths—every tree, killed in convulsions, nailed to the muddy ground monsters, utterly weird, utterly insane.

The evil, gloomy, and weird atmosphere mixed with the damp and cold air permeated the surroundings. The cold wind was mixed with ghostly screams, and the voice was as sharp as a woman's long nails piercing the eardrums, piercing the ears and scaring people. Got to break out in a cold sweat.

Stepping further, a rugged path appeared in the forest, winding and leading to the distance. On both sides of the road, weeds are overgrown, and occasionally you can see pieces of open fields. Fields of early-ripening red pumpkins and hideous-looking wet scarecrows.

Most of the early-ripening red pumpkins in the field were piled up like hills, and some of them were rotten, giving off a sour smell. Some of them were placed on the side of the road or on the branches by someone, and the inside was dubiously hollowed out, carved into the shape of a skull, and then placed in flames. Seen from a distance, the pumpkins looked like dark elves laughing ferociously, staring at a pair of crimson eyes, looking at the visitor with an evil look.

Li Cha was walking in this strange atmosphere of the forest, and there were quite a few people with him, a total of more than 30 people. A large part of them are teenagers, and occasionally a few young people in their early twenties can be seen.

These people are all students who have passed a simple test and qualified to enter the jungle hut colony.

Well, students.

Similar to the former White Rock Tower, the Jungle Lodge will also recruit students, but the time will not be as regular as the White Rock Tower - sometimes it recruits once a year, sometimes twice a year, and sometimes does not recruit students for several years one person.

In addition, different gathering places of jungle huts have different recruitment requirements.

Some have very high requirements - almost decathlon, some have very low requirements - as long as they know how to run inside the house when it rains, some must be girls, and some must be boys.

After Li Cha left the Blackstone Cemetery, it took more than a month and a half to find out the information of "Artis" in detail. After that, it took more than one and a half months to determine the various matters of infiltrating the jungle hut, and waited for the right opportunity.

It has been more than three months since we left the Blackstone Cemetery, and the east coast has also entered the autumn of September—the cool moon.

During this period of time, Li Cha was not completely busy with the matter of "Artis", and researched a lot of gadgets in his spare time. There has been some progress in the research on the design drawings of the so-called "Gloves of Destruction", but the deeper the research, the more they realize that the "Gloves of Destruction" are ridiculously complicated, and there are many places in the design drawings that are not described in detail.

He speculated that this might be intentional, and the reason was unknown, but there should be an explanation when the last treasure of the Black Spirit King was found.

Thinking of this, Li Cha stepped on the muddy ground and kept moving forward with steady steps. But the many fellows before and after him were far behind in comparison. Many people felt the strange atmosphere in the Witch Forest, and their faces were full of fear. After seeing the burning pumpkin and the wet scarecrow on the side of the road, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and his face became extremely pale. Several people started to tremble when they walked, which obviously slowed down the speed of the whole team.

The front leader was a woman in her thirties named Martha. A buxom figure with a light purple lip gloss and a new bush-hut robe.

Martha keenly sensed that the speed of the team had slowed down a lot, raised her eyebrows lightly, stopped in her tracks, turned her head and quickly swept across the students in the whole team. After discovering the "culprit", he quickly approached, patted the shoulders of a few boys and girls who were terrified, and said slowly: "

What's the matter, are you afraid that this forest is dangerous and will hurt you? Oh, don't be afraid, it's just your wild imagination. Although this forest looks a bit strange, that's all. As long as you walk properly, I guarantee that you will be fine.

On the contrary, if you are disobedient and continue to slow down the speed of the entire team, then there is no need for the forest to hurt you, I will do it myself. Did you hear me! At that time, I will twist off your little heads one by one and stuff them into the pumpkins on the side of the road! You must be wondering why the pumpkin is hollowed out? That is specially prepared for you few! "

"Gah!" After hearing these words, several boys and girls stared at Martha with rounded eyes, like a rabbit whose ears were picked up and its artery was cut. It took three seconds to digest what Martha said. The next moment, he ran towards the front of the team faster than anyone else. Accidentally, he fell down on the slippery road with a "slap", and didn't dare to cry out in pain, so he got up and continued to run.

"Heh, you're so good." Martha smiled after seeing it, and walked to the leader's position again, leading more than 30 students towards the depths of the Witch Forest.
