Chapter 284: Dark Forest
Walking off the gangplank, I stood on a black reef, looking at the dense forest sea not far away, slightly dazed. I turned my head and looked at the mountain that was suddenly rising in front of me.
This high wall-like mountain is called Tengra Mountain.
Starting from the dark forest, the Tengra Mountains stretch out along the coast, with land on one side and endless sea on the other. The whole Tengra Mountain, as if wrapped in land, as if afraid of people or animals on the other side of the dark forest, ran over and discovered this magical marine world.
On the seventh day of sailing, we finally arrived at the closest to the Dark Forest, this natural harbor called Fengshen Bay.
From here, through the dark forest, and then through the Linda Desert within a radius of dozens of kilometers, you can reach the first screening station of the kingdom of God: the Jalaso screening station.
All of us will be screened there to qualify for the kingdom of God.
According to Lu Lina, the closest port to the Divine Realm is near the Jalaso Screening Station, from where one can cross hundreds of kilometers of underground rivers in the Tenggla Mountains to the Boundless Sea.
But it is impossible for the Dark Forest to enter, firstly, because the dark river can only allow small boats with a width of no more than fifty meters and a length of no more than one hundred and fifty meters to pass, and secondly, there are checkpoints along the way, and the ships of the fairyland will be attacked at the first time.
And Yan Deru has only been to Fengshen Harbor, and the people of the Divine Kingdom who connect with him usually only trade with him in Fengshen Harbor, all of which are fairyland silver dollars, which are delivered in cash.
"There is still one day until the time of the trade, do you see if you are waiting here or leaving first?"
Yandrew asked.
I thought about it, looked at Lu Linna, who was whispering with Qingyu Pu Yunzhi, smiled and said to him: "Forget it, we still don't get involved in your business, but after this transaction is completed, you have to focus on the construction of the navy." ”
Yan Deru nodded with a serious expression, patted his chest and said, "Lord, don't worry, I know the stakes very well. ”
I nodded and said to Lulina, "Captain Lulina, can our carriage pass through the Dark Forest?"
Lu Lina looked at the carriage that had disembarked and said with a smile: "As long as you are not afraid of scratching the beautiful patterns on this carriage, there is no problem in crossing the dark forest, after all, this forest has been developed for many years." ”
I smiled and said to the crowd who had already packed up their things and were ready to go, "A few ladies and I will ride in a carriage, and the rest will ride horses and set off." ”
......
......
When I entered the Dark Forest, I realized why it was called the Dark Forest.
A winding path three meters wide, on both sides of which were towering trees, withered vines twisting and stretching upwards on the tree, and a little less space under the trees were full of shrubs, vines, and black rotting leaves, and I even saw a black withered vine on the tree suddenly move, and then twist and turn a huge triangular snake head.
From time to time, there was a howl or two from the trees on both sides, and the sound of the ropes never stopped, but nothing came out, or jumped out of the bushes and onto the path.
Our marching queue was still Chen Qinglong in front, Pang Bingyue and Zhou Huaian were guarding on both sides of the carriage, and Qi Hengshu and members of the liaison group were escorting the luggage carriage to the end.
In the carriage, Lu Lina watched Pu Yunzhi perform to make tea with some surprise, and finally picked up the teacup, sipped it like me, and then put it down again, and said to me with a smile: "Lord Xu can really enjoy it, no wonder the fairyland is not as good as day by day, it is all caused by the fact that the superior does not want to make progress and is greedy for pleasure." ”
I leaned back in the carriage and laughed.
Qingyu pursed her lips and said, "Miss Lu, are you a Westerner, and you have ascended from the human realm?"
Lu Lina smiled: "People of the Kingdom of God, don't ask where you come from, and don't ask where you are going. We have all come together for a common goal, which is to create eternal peace and happiness in the Three Realms. ”
Pu Yunzhi secretly laughed.
Qingyu smiled and teased: "Your ideal is a bit similar to Xu Jinyue. ”
"Oh?"
Lu Lina asked a little surprised, "Lord Xu also has this ideal?"
Qingyu smiled: "His ideal is to contribute his strength to the peace of mankind and his own happiness. ”
I laughed and quietly gave Qingyu a thumbs up.
Lu Lina was stunned, but suddenly came to her senses and said, "How can you be so selfish about the peace of mankind and your own happiness? This is in the kingdom of God, and you are going to be arrested and put into a study class!"
I smiled and said, "Actually, I am representing the Fairy Realm Qingfeng City to establish diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of God, so I have an official status." ”
Lu Lina was stunned again, then shook her head and said, "You are the proton of Wonderland, right?"
Qingyu and Pu Yunzhi laughed together.
I said with a little embarrassment: "You can understand it this way, can you tell me who I should go to to submit my credentials after I go?"
Lulena looked at me and suddenly laughed.
I was so confused by her laughter that I asked, "What are you laughing at?"
She smiled and said: "There is no privilege to go to the fairyland proton of God's kingdom, after you go, you have to find a job and support yourself." ”
My heart sank, but my face remained unchanged and said, "Not to be imprisoned?"
Lu Lina's smile widened, and she said, "The Kingdom of God is the Paradise of the Three Realms, and it is not a prison, how could I lock you up?" But since you have gone, you have to contribute to the construction of the Kingdom of God, and of course, the reward you get is the capital of your life." ”
......
......
Next to the roaring bonfire, I sat with Chen Qinglong, Zhou Huai'an, Pang Bingyue, and Qi Hengshu drinking tea.
The Dark Forest, which stretches for five hundred and fifty miles, means that we have to walk in the forest for three days to reach the so-called Linda Desert.
"It won't take that long, I'm fifty miles ahead today, the road is okay, I'll leave early tomorrow morning, and I'll probably reach the edge of the forest tomorrow night. ”
Chen Qinglong said.
Pang Bingyue said: "According to what Uncle Shi said, since the Kingdom of God has established a screening station, there should be a lot of people to be screened, why did we walk for a day today, but we didn't see anyone on the same road with us?"
I thought for a moment and said, "Maybe there are other paths that can pass through the Dark Forest, after all, this is actually the path opened up by the Divine Kingdom and the Immortal Land to do private business. ”
Qi Hengshu said a little worriedly: "According to what Senior Brother said, the Kingdom of God does not accept us as envoys, but only screens us as ordinary people and puts us in the Kingdom of God. ”
I nodded and said, "That's what Lu Lina said, that is, the kingdom of God is actually supplementing their population through the people who have been screened, which is called filling. ”
Yes, in the history of the human world, in order to restore the economy of the war-torn areas, population migration policies are usually adopted, such as the famous "Huguang fills Sichuan" and "big locust tree immigration", which is the so-called "filling ding" policy.
But there has been no war between the Kingdom of God and the Immortal Realm for many years, so why do they need a population?
It's the same question as I thought, but it was Qi Hengshu who was the first to throw this question.
Everyone was puzzled, so I had to smile, spread my hand and said, "Forget it, we can't guess anything, it's better to go to the kingdom of God to investigate." ”
At this moment, Pang Bingyue suddenly turned to me and said, "Uncle Shi, ancestor......"
I smiled, made a "silence" gesture to him, turned to look at the bushes behind me, and said, "I don't know where my friends are visiting?
Before I could finish speaking, I saw a person suddenly burst out of the bushes and rushed straight towards me.
However, his speed was fast, Zhou Huai'an's sword was even faster, and before the man was five meters in front of me, Zhou Huai'an's sword had already penetrated his chest.
Chen Qinglong hurriedly went over and turned over the person, but he raised his head in surprise and said, "Orc?"
I stood up and walked over, and in the light of the blazing fire, I could see that the man was indeed a half-orc.
Wearing animal skin clothes, animal skin skirts, and bark shoes on his feet, it's just that this orc actually has huge fangs on the side of his mouth, which have already stuck out of his mouth.
I was about to speak, but I heard more and more sounds in the bushes, and at last, a few small trees fell, and a dozen or so tall orcs, armed with weapons, appeared in front of us. And the small trees behind are still falling, and I don't know how many orcs are coming.
I turned my head to look and saw that Chen Qinglong and the others had already drawn their swords in their hands.
Qingyu and Pu Yunzhi, who heard the movement, had also gotten out of the carriage with their swords, and Lu Linna, who was opening the sedan curtain, saw the orcs standing in front of the fire, but they were shocked and said, "Shengfan." ”
I know what it means to be raw.,Savages who don't obey discipline!
So, these orcs are not steppe orcs, but natives of this dark forest?
I didn't have time to think about it, I took the dragon knife thrown by Qingyue and drew the knife in my hand.
Because the orcs didn't say a word, they attacked directly.
......
......
I stood in front of the carriage with my sword in my hand, looking at the people who were still fighting the orcs, and from time to time I was talking and laughing with Qingyu.
The reason why it is so light and light is because the dragon knife in my hand doesn't even have a chance to make a move.
Zhou Huai'an blocked the orc attack group in front of the carriage with one person and one sword.
Listening to the sound of the Qingfeng Dragon's groan from time to time, a group of small dragons wandered out of the tip of the sword, passed through the chest of one or several orcs, and returned to the sword in the blink of an eye.
Pang Bingyue and Chen Qinglong, one by one, resisted the orcs attacking from both sides.
Both of them are sword immortals, although Pang Bingyue's immortal power is much stronger than Chen Qinglong, but after experiencing the Qingfeng battle of the corpse mountain and sea of blood, Chen Qinglong should not be too easy to deal with this kind of scene.
The contact group was also quite handy at dealing with the orcs behind the carriage, because it was not the focus of the orc attack in the first place.
"What do you mean by being raw?"
As I watched the battlefield, I asked Lulina, who was watching with her head sticking out her head.
"It's the undomesticated orcs, they are the cancer of the kingdom of God, the pest of the grassland. ”
Lu Lina said hatefully.
It turns out that not all the orcs are sincere to the kingdom of God, not only in this dark forest, but even in the farther mountains of the two realms, there are still a large number of orcs.
Where did these orcs come from, no one can tell, anyway, they are numerous, and they are strong, and they often attack the grassland and the kingdom of God, and the grassland and the kingdom of God have spent a lot of effort to encircle and suppress, but it has no effect, after all, the mountains and forests are the home of the orcs.
Hearing this, I smiled and said, "Is there anything else that the kingdom of God can't handle?"
Lu Lina said angrily, "You can't even handle the Protoss?"
I laughed and turned my head to look at the battlefield.
The battle is nearing its end.
