The difficult journey continues. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But it's not a problem, the important thing is that as long as we complete the mission in this world and defeat the corresponding monsters, we will be able to get the key home. So, as soon as we feel tired, just thinking about this will immediately rejuvenate our bodies and we can continue walking.

It's not quite the same as trekking and climbing mountains, but it's not much the same.

The terrain of the Twilight Forest is very varied, one moment it may be a gentle meadow, and the next it will encounter a huge crack in the ground. Or at first glance it looks like a dense forest, but after just a few steps, you find yourself in almost a place.

A variety of natural labyrinths of terrain and plants are showing us the horrors and true power of nature.

"Phew, damn it, where the hell is the right place to go." I stopped next to a tree, holding on to the trunk and half-squatting to rest.

Akai looked around, and after making sure that there was no danger, he walked to my side and leaned against the tree and went straight down.

"Well, it's useless to think about such troublesome things now, give." Pulling the kettle out of his backpack, Akai took a sip and handed it to me.

I took the kettle and took two gulps.

Something suddenly occurred to me, and I looked towards the tree above me.

"Shall we find another tall tree to check the situation?"

"I see, I see. So after a break, let's go find the tallest tree first, anyway, since it's the tallest tree, it's definitely easy to find. Akai took his glasses off the bridge of his nose and picked up a cloth to wipe them.

Nodding, I silently began to rest, letting the magic in my body boil, and striving to quickly recover my strength and energy.

Half an hour later, we continued our quest. It's just that this time it's the tallest tree.

After a little time of trekking, we finally found a tall enough tree in the sea of thousands of trees.

No, it shouldn't be called tall, because the tree can't be described as tall and big anymore.

"Hey, are we really going to climb up?" I threw my head up, but I still couldn't see the top of the tree.

"It seems like this・・・・・・" Akai felt the oppression of the tree, and always felt like he was going to fall down on his side.

"It's so high..."

"It's so tall..."

Towering into the clouds, the clouds encircle the middle of its trunk, obscuring its upper layers completely, so that we can't see the tops of the trees clearly, but there is no doubt that the height is at least two hundred meters.

A tree grows 200 meters tall, and it always sounds like.

But in fact, there are indeed such trees in the Twilight Forest, which are hundreds of years old, or even thousands of years, but their varieties are not rare.

A twilight forest specialty.

"You can only climb, right?"

"Ah, I can only climb."

Looking at the trunk of this giant tree, which was seven or eight meters thick, I suddenly wanted to see what it would be like inside.

Right now, I told Akai about my curiosity.

"No problem! Anyway, even if the bottom is cut down, the tree won't fall. Akai rolled up his sleeves and took out an axe to look like a demolition office.

I laughed dryly, indeed, there are the laws of the world, except for specific items, once the real thing is stacked in mid-air, even after the bottom of the kettle is drawn, the top part of it will not have any effect, and it will not fall.

So when I was cutting down trees, especially when cutting jungle trees that are tens of meters high, I had to climb the top of the tree step by step along the rattan on the surface of the trunk of the jungle tree, and then cut down from above, so that I could cut down the whole tree intact.

However, this is only one way, there is another way to start cutting directly from the bottom, because the trunk of the tall tree is two meters (that is, two times two) thick, so you can cut the trunk into the shape of a step when cutting, so that you can cut it all the way up in a spiral, until the top of the tree can be cut half of the trunk. Then it's a matter of cutting down the other half along the spiral-shaped ladder.

Akai was already wielding his axe, and I quickly pulled out my axe to help.

The trunk of the giant tree is not unexpectedly difficult to cut, or it feels like an ordinary tree.

Chop! Chop! Chop! Chop!

With the sound of chopping trees, the inside of the trunk of the giant tree was finally exposed to our eyes.

It was a huge hollow, with a preliminary estimate of the area of three by three, but the most surprising thing was that the central trunk of the tree was empty!

We came to the center of the tree trunk and looked upwards to see the sky exposed to our eyes, though it was almost the size of a manhole cover.

It's like the feeling of being at the bottom of a deep well and looking up at the sky from the bottom of the well.

"The frog at the bottom of the well? Hey, why am I talking about this all of a sudden? "I inexplicably complained about my literary ** that would flare up from time to time, and at this time I noticed something very unexpected.

"Yo, it seems that we don't need to build a ladder." Akai whistled and said cross-legged.

Inside the hollow trunk, the rattan is densely covered and extends all the way to the top.

After gearing up, we began our journey to the top. Naturally, I cast all the magic of the various buffs, and gave Akai a few potions of strength.

It was the first time we had climbed such a high distance, and we couldn't have done it without all preparation.

Also, I'm going to build a platform and take a break when I'm halfway up the climb.

――――――――I'm a dividing line――――――――

There was nothing more to say, and after a long climb, we finally reached the top of the giant tree from the inside of the trunk.

The ancients said that this is the feeling of seeing the mountains at a glance. White clouds drifted under our feet, and through the leaves at the top of the giant tree, we saw a churning sea of clouds, which was not spectacular.

A vague chirping of an eagle sounded in my and Akai's minds, and Akai carefully found a position with a good view and crouched down.

Above the sea of clouds, at the top of a giant tree.

"Found it!" Eyesight was stretched to the limit, and Akai shouted at me behind me.

"In that direction." I nodded, and the magic came flooding in.

[Feather Fall]*2

After charging, the [Feather Fall Technique] lasts for up to 30 seconds.

"I've wanted to play like this for a long time." With a slightly excited tone, I cautiously stepped on the leaves and came to Akai's side.

"Oh? Hehe, if you don't say it, I want to know what you're thinking. Akai was confused for a moment, but then understood what I meant.

"Don't tell me you don't want to play like this."

"No, in reality, there is no such opportunity, and if you don't do it, you will die."

"Peace of mind, let's jump!" With that, I stretched my body into a cross, my arms outstretched around the sky, and my body tilted down instantly.

"Really." With a complaint, Akai kicked hard, and instantly opened his arms in midair.

Everything is false, everything is allowed.

In the howling wind, more than ten seconds of free fall, Akai and I approached the ground, and the feather fall technique kicked in. The body floated gently like a feather, slowly making safe contact with the ground.

"Wow! It's exciting. "Then, it's cool, and I'm saying that we still have to continue to get down to business.

"Phew, phew, I'll never play with you next time, I'm scared to death." Akai kept patting his hand on his chest.

By the way, I was falling in a sky-facing way just now, so I didn't feel the visual impact of landing. But Akai did fall facing the ground if he didn't die, and he was really scared to see the ground getting closer and closer to him.

Well, this is the spice of the boring journey, and Akai and I are moving firmly towards the fiery swamp where the ender dragon is.

Fire Swamp.

[Well, I feel it, two strange breaths are slowly moving here.] It seems to be the two little ones he was talking about. The sleeping nine-headed dragon opened its huge dragon eyes, and the pink light became brighter and brighter in the six red eyes.

[Although the guy said that these two children are the key, I still want to test their strength first. 】

[Hehe, I don't have enough strength but I can't get into my eyes.] 】

[A little, it's good to do a little assessment.] 】

With that in mind, the hydra retracted its momentum, and the six eyes on the three dragon heads closed again.
