Walking through the slightly humid woods, the thick rotten leaves accumulated in autumn are under your feet, and the shrubs and weeds are entangled, making it very difficult to get on your feet. There are also dense cobwebs between the trees, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be confused.

"Isn't there a normal road?" Picking up the large spider crawling on his shoulder with his short sword, Valle muttered suddenly as he was moving.

Lorton walked away from a bush of spiked thorns beneath his feet and tilted his head to explain:

"To the south, human adventurers rarely set foot here, but even the main trade route that connects to Logwood from the north gate of Grey Curtain is not much better than here. ”

"There may have been roads in those days of the Bright Calendar, but since the Dark Calendar, the roads have been completely flooded by plants, and the speed of human development has long been unable to keep up with the spread of plants. ”

Fortunately, people have overcome obstacles along the way, and everyone is generally used to the harsh environment.

During the whole journey, Thor looked down from time to time to watch his feet, but he only harvested a few beads of wind grass along the way.

It is very inconvenient to use the dark vision to find the herbs, and it is impossible to confirm at first glance, and you have to crouch down to judge by touch and smell, which will greatly slow down the speed of the team, so you can only give up.

Thor casually asks a question about lighting in the wilderness, and Lorton recounts an incident from the Grey Veil.

It is said that at that time, the mayor of Elton had just taken office, and the town's logging team for the winter had not yet been formed, and the cutting of the sleeping forest had not yet begun.

One day, a rich man in the town had an argument with a mercenary, so the rich man offered a hundred silver wolves and made a bet with the mercenary. Threatens that as long as this mercenary can spend the night alone at the edge of the forest, the hundred silver coins will be his.

Spending the night in the wilderness is common for mercenaries who are on the road all year round, and the real difficulty in betting is that the mercenaries must light torches all night and hold them up until the next day without going out.

So the first-order mercenary left the town with a bundle of torches on his back.

Everyone also climbed the parapet of the town, holding wine in one hand and barbecue in the other.

Although it is not really visible from a distance, the light of the fire at the edge of the forest is still very striking in the darkness.

Unfortunately, after the first torch burned out, the second torch never lit up again, and the mercenary of the first order disappeared.

For the dividends of the one hundred silver wolves, two more people went one after another, one was the first order, and the last one was even the second order. However, they all ended the same way, never to return.

In fact, it has been said for a long time that walking in the wilderness with a torch will explode the danger exponentially, and almost everyone who has been adventuring it all year round knows it, but in the end it is just a saying.

For animals like humans, many times people can't teach people, but it is enough to teach people only once. Under the verification of blood and life, you will understand that the transmission of some experiences must have their ancient truths.

So the cruel joke ends by telling us that walking in the wilderness with a torch is something that only the truly brave dare to do. ”

They chatted and shared with each other along the way, and although the march was a little difficult, they did not feel too tired, and soon they finally walked out of the woods that Lorton had mentioned.

The rest of the road is a little more empty, but the ground is still a lot of shrubs, thorns and weeds, and occasionally a few strange plants that shimmer in the mix, adding an eerie dreamlike feel to the whole scene.

I don't know how long I walked, but everyone suddenly heard the sound of 'whooshing ~ wao' waves in the distance, and it seemed that they had arrived at the beach.

The footsteps of everyone were subconsciously much excited, except for Lotton, the other three were all in contact with the sea for the first time.

Thor knew more from books, he knew that the sea was vast and deep, and that there were many creatures in it.

The terrain beneath your feet gradually changed, and it gradually became a soft sandy beach.

Lorton instructed the people to rest in the shallows, but not too deep into the sea, lest they encounter any unknown danger and not have time to escape.

Valer took off his boots and babbled about his excitement to Lorton, who was beside him.

But at one moment the words stopped abruptly, and Valle's face suddenly became a little distorted, and he suddenly covered his neck, knelt on the sand, and walked quickly for a distance before looking back in horror.

Unexpectedly, he was actually disgusted by Valer, and the corners of Lorton's eyes twitched, and he turned his boots over and knocked them on the sand, before turning back to Valle with a disdainful look.

"Real men generally have taste. Lorton said.

Naturally, Valle was in tears, but the words 'real man' seemed to evoke faith in Shogues's heart. He lowered his head in disbelief, picked up the soles of his feet and sniffed, but unfortunately, there was no smell.

As soon as he turned around, Shoggers saw Thor stretch out the sole of his foot and 'snap' it on the sand.

"What? do you want to smell it?" asked Thor.

I...... What do I smell? I smell that I am a verification of life, but what is the matter with hearing others, Xiugus shivered with a chill.

Today's adventure was generally good, and although there were no concrete gains, at least there was a brief leisure.

Thor even felt that when he became stronger one day, he might be able to bring Erin and them to the beach to play, and the girls should like the atmosphere of the seaside.

As the four of them walked along the beach with their boots in hand, they felt the cool waves at their feet, and Valle ran around the group, picking up shells and pretty stones and stuffing them into his small cloth bags.

"Don't pick up starfish, that thing needs seawater to feed, and it crawls out in the middle of the night to suck blood. Thor said with a casual glance, so frightened that Valle hurriedly threw the echinoderm starfish in his hand into the sea.

"Come and see what this is!" Soon, Valer's frightened trills were heard in front of him.

The crowd gathered and stared at the scene in silence.

There were two neat rows of footprints on the beach, but they were too large for them, each bigger than their heads.

The footprints apparently came from the deep sea, and after a few of them found the footprints ashore, they turned in a different direction and then extended towards the side of the beach, and if they followed quickly, they might be able to catch up with the owner of the footprints.

"This is supposed to be a huge four-legged beast or monster from the deep sea. Lorton made a judgment as he looked at the density of the one-sided footprints.

The four of them looked in the direction the monster had left, and Shogues suddenly asked a question about how far the monster could see in the dark.

Lorton thought for a moment and replied:

There is no definite answer to this question, but there has been an experiment in Grey Curtain where a dog is tied to a tree stump with a torch attached to it, and then a fragrant steak is moved from side to side to attract the dog's attention. ”

"As the steak moves away, the dog may be able to sense that the steak may be around with its keen sense of smell, but its sight is no longer able to pinpoint it. ”

"The result of the experiment is that dogs have almost the same dark vision as humans, but in the end, dogs are only one of the animals, and may not represent the whole continent. ”

Thor interjected duly in time.

"My mentor once told me that after a human being is promoted to the second order, 'Dark Vision' will grow into 'Insight', and the dark vision will be exponentially broadened, will this situation also exist for Warcraft or monsters?"

Lorton replied.

"Yes, this has been confirmed, monsters grow the same way as humans in terms of vision. ”

"And your mentor hasn't finished talking yet, after the second order is promoted to the fifth order, the 'insight' will also grow into the 'shadow appearance', and after the fifth order is promoted to the eighth order, the 'shadow appearance' will grow into the 'silent perception'. With each growth of ability, the dark vision will be greatly expanded. ”

"It is said that in the final stage of 'silent perception', you don't even need to look, just stand in the dark and close your eyes, and you can rely on your own mental power to perceive the surroundings on a large scale. ”

Hughes also interjected into a lively discussion.

"The question now is, could the owner of this footprint be a high-level demonic beast? I mean, have there been high-level demonic beasts around Grey Curtain Town? It's not an ordinary first or second order, it's a very high one. ”

Lorton looked up suddenly, his expression suddenly becoming a little terrifying.

"It's not that it has appeared, but there have been many of them, and this is all due to the instability brought about by the fluidity of the dark wilderness, and it is said that somewhere in the sleeping forest, there is a ninth-order dragon that still exists today. ”

"As for this footprint......"

The four people who reacted suddenly broke out in a cold sweat at the same time, as if they were stared at by some distant sight in the darkness.

The crowd did not dare to communicate at all, bowed their heads and quickly put on their boots, and fled from the beach in some embarrassment.

Back in the bushy wilderness, no danger was found, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the next step was to embark on the journey home to end the adventure.

There was not much difference between the difficult march and the time when they came, and the mood of the crowd gradually returned to its original calm.

At some point, Lorton suddenly stopped, and glanced behind him in some confusion.

A strange sound, neither like metal rubbing nor like the wind, sounded very suddenly.

"Run~!" Almost at the same time, Lorton's binge drink also exploded at the same time.

Before he could finish speaking, Lorton had already lunged at Thor beside him.
