Jian Lu sat in the guest room of the City Lord's Mansion, although it was also a stone house, but its style was countless grades higher than that of the Thor family.

He didn't sleep, but was thinking about things, slowly recalling the things since these days, until he met the people in the central main city today, so that he finally confirmed the guess in his heart, and felt that this time the demon insect riot attacked the city, eight times out of ten. Nine has to do with Hines' awakening.

Hines may be in a magical forest that few humans can set foot in.

During this time, while he groped for the differences of the Lost Continent, he also speculated about Hines's situation. Later, after experiencing the Demon Worm Rebellion and attacking the city, as well as various measures in Fuk City, as well as the reaction of the so-called Central Main City, all of them pointed to the heart of the Lost Continent - the Demon Forest.

The anomaly of the Demon Forest appeared about two months ago, when they teleported to the Lost Continent through the Guò space, and then he separated from Hines, who happened to be in the awakening stage.

As the top powerhouse of the Olawen Continent, as long as Hines can successfully awaken, even if it is a dangerous demon forest, it is difficult for him to have a presence that can harm him. If it was because Hines was in the Demon Forest, it would make sense to guide those king insects to move.

Combined with all the indications, it proves that Hines should be safe at this time.

This guess made Jian Lu breathe a sigh of relief, when they came out of the spatial teleportation channel, he was directly unconscious because his body was too seriously injured, and Hines never woke up at all because of the awakening stage, which made him worry that Hines would be eaten as food by the demon insects during the awakening.

Now it seems that even if it is a golden dragon that has not awakened, it is not something that small insects can gnaw lightly.

As for why Hines didn't come out of the Demon Forest, if it wasn't that he hadn't fully awakened, then there was something in the Demon Forest that trapped him. In this regard, Jian Lu felt that maybe he should take a trip, and the arrival of people from the central main city today made him understand that this was an opportunity.

Jian Lu was thinking about it, and suddenly covered his mouth with his hand and coughed a few times, the temperature in the desert night gradually became lower, especially in this kind of stone house, if he didn't have a strong physique, it would be difficult to bear this cold.

Jian Lu couldn't help but wrap the animal skin blanket on his body, and his face turned pale in the dim light.

[Master, are you alright? The elemental elf asked with some concern.

"It's okay, just leave this world." Jian Lu didn't care too much, touched the smooth head of the elemental elf, and said, "Tomorrow we may have to leave with the people of the central main city, and if we need to fight at that time, we will have to rely on your help." ”

[No problem, just leave it to Green.] The elemental elf patted his little green chest and said.

A slight smile appeared in Jian Lu's eyes, and he found that the elemental elf was really a good guy who was hard-working and hard-working, and he competed with that magician during the day, and it was also thanks to the help of the elemental elf that his magic pressure was not worse than that of the magician, so that he could deter them.

He is now a high-level magician, and his experience in the Demon Prison has allowed him to break through from an intermediate magician to a high-level magician in one fell swoop. Although it is only a small level, from intermediate to advanced, for many people, it is not only necessary to accumulate, but also to understand. Jian Lu's comprehension is good, and he also has elemental spirits to help accumulate magic power, so his cultivation speed is so fast, with his current age, this cultivation speed is already a genius.

Every time a magician cultivates a realm, the accumulation of magic power and comprehension required are different, from a high-level magician to a magician, it is a very important process, only when you practice to a magician, can you hope for the holy level. Jian Lu was able to accumulate mana so quickly because of the help of the elemental elves, but if he wanted to be promoted to a magician in a short period of time, he couldn't.

Therefore, Jian Lu's magic pressure during the day is indeed a bit of a fox and a fake tiger, but if it is about the control of magic and magic, he feels that he is not inferior to the magicians of the Lost Continent, and in terms of combat power alone, he can have a fight with that magician, and the reason is that he has received a systematic education in the Temple of Light and Lemlas, and the inheritance of magicians in the Lost Continent is too little.

Meditating on the dawn, when the morning light was slightly bright, Jian Lu opened his eyes.

There was a knock on the door, and only when the people inside agreed that they pushed the door open and entered.

It was the steward of the City Lord's Mansion who came in, and he personally came over to bring breakfast to Jian Lu, and by the way, "Your Excellency, the Frian City Lord and several adults from the Central Main City please take a trip." ”

Jian Lu didn't even glance at the breakfast, got up and said, "Let's go." ”

The steward glanced at the breakfast, it was cooked with the meat of the most fragrant and tender demon insects, and there was no fishy smell of low-level demon insects, this kind of demon insects ate a kind of * stone growth, so their meat naturally had a * taste, it was a staple food that nobles liked, only people of noble status could enjoy it, and those second and third class people could not eat it once in their lives.

Seeing that the guest didn't even look at him, the steward couldn't understand what he meant for a while, so he went out with him silently.

Coming to the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Jian Lu saw the group of people in the central main city that he saw yesterday, among them there was also a tall first-class person, it was the city lord of Frank City, Frian, he was a fighting warrior, there was a dark green mark on his face, when the demon insects attacked the city, Jian Lu had seen him from afar a few times, commanding the battle on the city wall, and he could be regarded as a good city lord.

In addition to Hawthorn, the group of people from the central main city looked at Jian Lu with a little unkind gaze, they still remembered the provocation of this person yesterday, the people from the central main city had not been so provoked by someone for a long time but had not been beaten back, if it weren't for the urgency of the magic forest this time, Hawthorn would not have suppressed them and prevented them from teaching this arrogant magician a lesson.

Jian Lu ignored the group's gaze.

His attitude of ignoring is more hateful than provocative, and it can ignite the anger of those next to him.

When Alger was about to draw his sword, his companion Egnes, a female fighter, stopped him and whispered, "Let's talk about it when we enter the Magic Forest." ”

Alger's eyes rolled slightly, understanding what Agnes meant, and stood aside with his sword, looking at Jian Lu with some ill-intentioned eyes.

"Your Excellency, I'm sorry to have you here yesterday." Frian rubbed his hands, and was inexplicably short of breath by Jian Lu's cold appearance.

Yesterday he heard the words of the sorcerer, so he didn't go to meet the desert hunter who was invited, and now that he saw it, he found that this desert hunter was not simple, which made him regret a little in his heart that he believed the sorcerer's words too much, and he really didn't go to meet people, and gave him enough respect.

Jian Lu bowed his head at him, with little expression on his face, and then looked at the sorcerer Hawthorn.

Hawthorn knew what he meant, and he didn't go around in any circles, and went straight to the point, "I invited you here, because there is something to tell you, the great witch divination has reached a thing, and this time the demon worm storm. He sent us over to find the first-class people in several cities, including Fox City, to enter the Demon Forest to look for the Demon Worm Storm. The reason for the move, including you, we have found a total of sixteen people. ”

Jian Lu looked at him lightly.

"The main city has been arranged, and when the time comes, you will enter the magic forest with the warriors of the main city." Hawthorn said, adding: "This is a mandatory task in the main city, the divination results of the Great Witch, if you can complete this mission, you will become a first-class resident of the central main city." ”

These days, Jian Lu learned that in addition to fighting warriors and magicians, there is also a very mysterious race in this world, that is, witches. This has the same effect as the orc priests, and even makes Jian Lu feel that these so-called witches are actually another branch of the orc priests, presumably on the battlefield of the Lost Continent back then, there should have been orc priests here.

In the Lost Continent, Wu has a superior identity, every time Wu divination, everyone is in awe, as long as Wu divination comes out, human beings must complete it unconditionally, if they refuse, they will become the enemy of all human beings on the continent.

Therefore, Jian Lu just raised his eyebrows and nodded, "When will you go?" ”

Hawthorn was not surprised by his cheerfulness, if he refused, he would have to doubt Jian Lu's origins, only people from the Legendary Continent would disagree with Wu. He also didn't expect that Jian Lu would lurk among the third-class people in Fork City, and expose himself only after touching the various rules of the Lost Continent.

"If you're okay, then go now." Hawthorn looked at him, "Only by arriving in the Demon Forest earlier and solving things earlier can we reduce casualties and restore the Lost Continent to normal." ”

Jian Lu sighed, pulled up his hood, and said that he had no opinion.

Hawthorn said goodbye to Frian and left Falk City in the morning light with the people of the central main city and Jane Lu.

After Frian sent them away, he was puzzled, and couldn't help but run to look for the wizard again, and asked, "Your Excellency, Lord Hawthorn is gone, don't they have to stay for a few more days to find a few more people?" This time, if you want to enter the Demon Forest, aren't you afraid of finding the wrong person? ”

The sorcerer's eyelids lifted and glanced at him, as if he was looking at a fool, "Hawthorn came with the witch's divination, and he should have something given by the witch in his hand, so he can naturally argue between truth and falsehood, I think Hawthorn got instructions on the street yesterday, so you can bring that person back to the city lord's mansion." ”

After hearing this, Frian once again had a deep understanding of the mysterious methods of the great witch in the central main city, and he complained that the people in the central main city could be menacing and fast.

*****

Three days later, there were fifteen more people in their group.

These fifteen people were the first class of the other five cities adjacent to Fork City, including desert hunters, city dwellers, five magicians, and ten warriors.

The fifteen waited in a sandcastle in the desert for three days, and when they saw Hawthorn's group appear, their faces showed a happy look, and their expressions revealed a bit of flattery.

Although this group of people are all first-class people, but the first-class people in the third-rate city are different from the first-class people who want to do the central main city, since they know that if the mission is successful, they can enter the main city and become first-class residents, this group of people is full of energy, even if they know the danger of the demon forest, but they are rich and dangerous, and there are still people who join with a fluke mentality.

Seeing that the people in the central main city were still followed by a magician with a pale face, the fifteen people were a little more vigilant in their eyes, and they knew in their hearts that this should be someone from the main city from another city.

"Now that we're all in number, let's go." Hawthorn said, pulling out something like a gourd flute and blowing it.

It was a very mysterious movement, Jian Lu couldn't help but glance at it, felt the vibration in the air, and immediately understood that this was a score that summoned demon insects, and that flute should be a worm flute, a kind of alchemy product.

There are no demonic beasts in the Lost Continent, only demonic insects, and it is also a historical inevitability that there will be insect tamers and various alchemical products related to insects.

Jian Lu couldn't help but feel an interest in studying the history of this continent properly.

In the sound of insect flutes, a group of black and pressed things soon appeared in the sky, and it was not until they landed in front of him that Jian Lu could see the appearance of this group of demon insects clearly, the size was very large, not like insects, but like magical beasts. They resemble birds, invertebrates, and their wings are web-like wings characteristic of the order Insectidae, which can set off a wave of wind and fly freely in the sky.

The demon insect landed on the ground, and the two red compound eyes stared at the person silently.

They are a flight-aiding insect with an extremely gentle temper and easy domestication by humans, who can use them to navigate the desert.

Hawthorn and the others jumped on the back of the demon worm one after another, one by one, and when everyone stood firm, they blew the insect flute in their hands again, and the demon insects flew up one after another, flew into the sky again, and flew away into the distance.

Jian Lu stood on the back of the demon insect, and when the demon insect took off, he added a magic shield to himself, although the temperature in mid-air was low and the wind was strong, it did not affect him in the slightest. His behavior also made several people around him can't help but glance at him, feeling that he really doesn't know whether to live or die, and he is wasting magic power at such a time.

Jian Lu ignored the gazes of others and stood peacefully on the back of the demon worm.

After a day of flying, until it was almost dark, everyone fell to a sandcastle in the desert to rest.

This sand castle is specially provided for travelers, no one takes care of it, and everyone who comes here to rest automatically maintains it, and it is built with the gelatinous liquid of a demon worm, which is an essential resting place in desert travel.

Jian Lu was assigned the task of killing the gelatinous demon worms needed to maintain the sandcastle, and it was not far from here, only about ten miles away. But now it's getting late, and soon it's getting dark, and there will be all kinds of nocturnal insects in the desert, which can be much more dangerous than other times.

Jian Lu glanced at the person who assigned him the task, and then looked at Hawthorn, who was talking to someone not far away, and turned around and left without saying anything.

Alger walked over and patted the person assigned the task, "Barker, did you think that kid would come back safely?" ”

Buck shrugged, "Who knows?" I found out in the past few days that his body seemed to be sick, and he had to spit blood every day, and I didn't know what disease he had, and his face was as pale as a ghost. I hope God bless him so that he won't be able to subdue even a few low-level demon insects. ”

"If so, prove that he is not the one who diviners." Alger scoffed.

After a few words, the two separated and went to get the tent, but their eyes kept looking at the direction where Jian Lu had disappeared, as long as the man had not returned after a spell, they could go and collect his body and accept his inheritance by the way.

It's a pity that after half a magic hour, Jian Lu, who had hunted ten demon worms, came back, he threw the demon worms to the others, and sat aside.

The man who set up the tent cut open the abdominal cavity of the ten demon insects that Jian Lu hunted back, took out a transparent sac the size of a watermelon, which contained a transparent gelatin, and poured it on the wall of the sand castle, making the sand wall as hard as a stone, resisting the attack of the night demon insects, which could last for three months.

When Jian Lu saw it, he felt more and more the wonder of the Lost Continent, and sure enough, every world has its own survival mode and laws.

There is a lot of strength and a clear division of labor, and soon, dinner is ready.

Jian Lu looked at the roasted demon worm in his hand, it tasted a bit like demonic beast meat, if he didn't know the original appearance of this meat, he would have thought it was demonic beast meat. He took a bite, and the meat was very tender and had a peculiar aroma, presumably with a titian seasoning.

At this time, a man walked up to him and sat with him on a sand bench.

Jian Lu looked up and found that it was a magician girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a cute round face, a sweet smile, and a light cyan line from the left cheek to the corner of the mouth, which added a bit of coquettishness to her.

"Hello, my name is Quintina." Seeing the other party looking over, the girl introduced herself a little shyly, "I saw you coughing up blood during the day, are you okay?" ”

Jian Lu saw the kindness in the girl's eyes, and his face softened slightly, "It's okay." ”

Quintina caught his expression and found that this person was not difficult to get along with, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and whispered, "Do you have a bad appetite?" It's better to eat more, otherwise the body will not be able to support it, and it will aggravate the condition. However, I've heard that there are good healing potions in the main city, so you can check them out when the time comes. She paused, and said to herself, "If only we could safely return to the main city from the Demon Forest." ”

Jian Lu glanced at her, did not speak, and put away the demon insect meat in his hand.

It seems that with the opportunity to speak this time, Quintina quickly became familiar with Jian Lu, and made it clear that Quintina herself should be familiar with Jian Lu, and she likes to follow Jian Lu in doing things, and when Jian Lu was instructed to hunt demon insects, she also accompanied her with righteousness.

However, after accompanying Jian Lu a few times, Quintina realized that Jian Lu's strength was not as weak as he appeared on the outside, and his strength was higher than all of them, especially when he killed demon insects, which was better than those powerful desert hunters.

There is a lot of mystery in this man.

Kuntina was originally close to Jian Lu, but she couldn't get used to seeing those people bullying him, and wanted to help him where she could, and she lived in vain for more than ten years. Anyway, with the task of the Demon Forest, she will definitely not be able to come out alive, and she can live the rest of the days, and it is nothing to show a little love.

But she didn't expect that Jian Lu just looked sick and weak, and his strength was not weak.

Especially after they flew for half a month, they encountered a group of high-level demon insects, giant scythes, and everyone fell into a bitter battle. Quintina was no exception, and when she was almost cut in two by the sharp scythe of a giant scythe, it was a white hand that grabbed the tip of the scythe and dragged her out.

Covered in sweat and mud, her magic power was exhausted, and her breath was chaotic, so she could only slump to the ground and watch the young man standing in front of her wave his hand, and a wall of fire blocked the attack of the giant scythe.

She was staggered by the young man, and fell to the ground several times, and could only watch the young man escort her away again and again.

In the end, only forty-six people escaped.

Originally, their team consisted of sixty people.

As the weakest magician, Quintina was just a junior magician, but she managed to survive, and there were eight magicians who died under the giant scythe this time, and all of them were intermediate magicians.

Everyone looked at Quintina's gaze with a little wonder.

However, although he escaped from the wolf at that time, some people still noticed that Quintina was able to successfully escape because Jian Lu saved him. Compared with other people's wolf bèi, this person is still orderly during the escape, and he is not even wrinkled in his clothes, which shows that his strength is strong, and he has the strength to fight with Hawthorn.

Those magicians from other cities regretted a little in their hearts, if they knew Jian Lu's strength at the beginning, they would not have despised him because of this person's weak appearance, they would have curried favor with him earlier than Quintina, maybe he could take them away next time.

"This bunch of garbage!" Alger gritted his teeth, if it weren't for this group of people from third-rate cities dragging them down, the people in their main city wouldn't have to die so many people to protect them from escaping, it's really damn it!

After entering the Demon Forest, if this group of people are still so wasteful, it is better to die directly!

"Angry what?" Agnes said disapprerovingly, "The first-class people in third-rate cities only have this level. It's the one named Grafad, Hawthorn is right, he's very strong, and he won't provoke him in the future. ”

Alger scoffed.

Quintina sat there with a wolf in her body, looking at the young man next to her who was roasting the meat of the demon insects, her eyes changed slightly.

Jian Lu handed her a piece of roasted meat.

The meat was filled with healing potions, and the smell was tangy.

Quintina took it, said thank you softly, and took a bite of the worm's flesh, and suddenly her nose was sour.

Although more than a dozen people were killed and wounded, they still did not stop their journey, and they still headed in the direction of the Demon Forest the next day.

As the distance from the Demon Forest got closer and closer, the desert was no longer a lifeless, Jian Lu saw the grass growing on the ground, although the color was a little bad, but it was really grass. This proved that he was close to the Demon Forest, which made him feel a little excited.

However, the closer they got to the Demon Forest, the higher the level of the Demon Worms, the more lethal they became, and they even encountered the Worm King, but fortunately the Worm King ignored them at that time, allowing them to escape. However, on the next journey, people from the central main city came to pick them up, and Fang arrived safely in front of the Demon Forest without any casualties.

Jian Lu jumped down from the back of the flying demon insect and stood in front of the demon forest, looking at this vast and boundless forest, his mood was a little agitated.

Finally here.
