The expedition led by Uncle Fat broke into the Forest of the End, and there were stalls and markets on the periphery of the forest, which could not be considered a real forest strictly speaking, and what they were stepping on now was the inner zone, which was the true face of the Forest of the End.

Everyone moved forward in a tactical formation around Uncle Fat in the dim sunset. As far as the eye can see, there are towering trees, with dense foliage that look like green clouds floating overhead, and various vegetation that can and cannot be named grow in a staggered manner. Ling Haoyun stood at the front of the line because of his artificial Yuan Wu, a rather huge scythe. The forest was littered with fallen broken trees and weeds more than a person tall, and there was no place suitable for humans to walk, and his artificial Yuan Wu was suitable for opening the way.

Despite the map, they don't travel fast. The wet soft soil characteristic of the forest and the slippery moss that hide under the blades of grass pose a major obstruction to movement. Fortunately, before departure, Wang Shun changed into expedition boots with grooves in the soles for everyone, otherwise it would be difficult to guarantee that no one would fall a few times.

This reflects the importance of Wang Shun, who has the weakest presence in this expedition group, but is indispensable.

There weren't too many waves, and everyone walked quietly through the forest. Keeping quiet in the forest as much as possible is the first criterion of exploration, and the fat uncle repeatedly told him before departure.

At the beginning, in order to be in a hurry, Han Shihao proposed to set off at noon, but was sternly rejected by the fat uncle, and then there was a scene where everyone was rushing in the dark.

Setting off at dusk is the advice given by the fat uncle, or it is a matter of experience. Not only can this avoid the large flow of people that other expedition groups will pour in during the day, but most of the beasts or primordial beasts in the Forest of the End are diurnal animals, so the expedition can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble. Although there are many nocturnal creatures, most of them are also very aggressive, but they are generally snakes, insects, rats and ants, and the equipment of insect repellent can be well restrained and not fearful.

At the moment, it seems that there is no problem with Uncle Fat's choice, and it has been smooth all the way. For the fat uncle, the ghost class and others are not completely trusted, after all, the ruffian was too strong when he first appeared, but obviously the professionalism of his explorers does not need to be questioned. At the same time, they were also secretly glad that they agreed with Yang Haohui's idea of looking for a leader, otherwise the slippery road alone would have a big impact.

It gets dark quickly, and the dense canopy makes it even harder for the already thin sunlight to penetrate the forest. After about an hour of walking, it was completely dark, except for a few fireflies flying out, shining brightly.

Yang Haohui's hair color turned crimson, and he subconsciously wanted to pick up some broken wood from the surrounding area to light the fire, but was stopped by the fat uncle raising his hand.

"Don't you need lighting?" asked Yang Haohui in a low voice.

"Don't light a fucking fire at every turn. Uncle Fat taught Yang Haohui a lesson in the tone of a senior in the workplace, "Use this." ”

The fat uncle took out a roll of cloth strips and a bag of gray fine powder from his backpack, and took out a bamboo tube filled with water. He soaked the strips of cloth, sprinkled gray powder on the strips, and grabbed them randomly, and the strips of cloth instantly gathered into a small ball. A hazy glow like a firefly lit up, like a large night pearl held in his hand.

"Oh!" Feng Haogeng admired the fat uncle's magical lighting method.

"Look at what you don't know. The fat uncle snorted shyly, "Fat uncle, I'll teach you a bunch of melon dolls, the flame is 'warm light', and many nocturnal primordial beasts like firelight, understand? In the future, go into the forest to walk the treasure, don't be embarrassed. ”

"Got it, got it. Everyone responded in unison, except for "walking treasure", they could all understand, and the word was not difficult to understand, probably the jargon between explorers. They are all "novice explorers" now, and they have to pretend to understand if they don't understand.

It was another period of hurrying, and although it was quiet, the members of the expedition group still couldn't help but whisper to each other. The forest at night was so quiet, with only the chirping of insects and the staccato howling of wolves from some distant place. In this environment, it is easy to get nervous and feel lonely from the bottom of your heart. That's why explorers always go on adventures in groups, not only to increase safety, but also to keep people warm in solitude.

Ling Haoyun was still trying his best to slash through the plants blocking the road with his sickle, and he couldn't help but shudder. The night is deep and dewy, not to mention that the time has already reached autumn. Although the yellowing of the leaves of the forest is not obvious, the temperature has a solid autumn feeling, and there is already a slight white fog on the mouth and nose between breaths.

"Look in a different direction. At this time, the fat uncle suddenly ordered and pointed out a direction to Ling Haoyun.

Then the expedition team began to change directions, and everyone was puzzled, only to feel that the feeling under their feet changed from climbing to descending, which was not the route given on the map. Uncle Fat didn't explain much, about fifteen minutes later, Ling Haoyun cut off the last weeds blocking in front of him, and a clearing appeared in his field of vision, and a small stream was flowing slowly at one end of the clearing.

The people understood that it was time to set up camp.

"Little Blue Xiaoye Xiao Wang set up a tent! Xiao Feng started a fire and cooked rice!"

For safety reasons, the ghost class did not tell Uncle Fat's full name, but just made a code name with his surname. This is very common in expedition groups, after all, they are tied together and cannot be completely trusted with each other. The fat uncle didn't say anything, so he called it according to the code name told by the ghost class, anyway, he usually called Ling Haoyun in this way.

"Fire?" Feng Haogeng was a little confused when he listened, "Uncle, didn't you just say ........"

"Don't fucking bullshit!" the fat uncle kicked him in the ass and let him work, and at the same time swept his gaze to the three people who had set up the tent, and the three of them immediately went to work.

"Xiaoyang Xiaoling Xiaohan, sprinkle this thing well, and scatter it in a circle around us, the scope of the circle is a little larger, but don't show the gaps, a little crack, Lao Tzu will stew you all tonight." The fat uncle took out three bulging large cloth bags from his backpack, and Han Shihao subconsciously rubbed them, the touch was very strange, like mud pinched together and like some kind of liquid that was not very fluid.

Han Shihao subconsciously opened the mouth of the bag and saw that the stench rushed into his nose, and he almost didn't spit it out.

"What is this, this, this?" Han Shihao was so smoked that he stammered.

". "Uncle Fat is concise and to the point.

"Sprinkle a circle of?" Yang Haohui also shook his hand.

"I said, I mean, I've been here for a while. The fat uncle's face was a little more obviously impatient, and Ling Haoyun took over with great insight, "This is the feces of dragon primordial beasts, and it is a common insect repellent item for explorers, and it is quite expensive." ”

"We have realgar. Yang Haohui was puzzled.

"Let's go first, don't upset Uncle Fat. Ling Haoyun reluctantly pulled Yang Haohui and Han Shihao to the edge of the camp, and explained while pouring dragon dung on the ground, "The biggest threat to the forest at night is the snakes, insects, rats and ants lurking in the trunks or on the surface, and some of them may also include some Yuan beasts with high resistance to male yellow. Dragon dung has a much greater dispersing effect on snakes and insects than realgar, and both primordial beasts and wild beasts have the habit of marking their territory with excrement, and dragon primordial beasts are no exception. ”

"No wonder it's a little bigger. Han Shihao nodded, "I don't want to sleep next to." ”

"Bought it in realgar white. Yang Haohui's focus was different, he felt very sorry that the realgar he had carefully prepared was useless.

At the end of the simple explanation, the three of them were holding a bag of dragon dung and one person was in charge of one place, and scattered a circle around the camp with the creek as the boundary, which was very large, after all, no one wanted to look up and see a circle of dung.

When the three of them were done and then met and returned to the camp, they saw the fat uncle sitting in a rocking chair smoking cigarettes........ God knows what he's put in his travel ring. To say that the leader of the expedition group is willful, the others are busy, and no one dares to talk back when they rest.

The two tents were erected out of thin air, Lan Borou didn't need to compress the tent, Wang Shun carefully prepared everything properly. This made Yang Haohui melancholy again, he didn't know that Wang Shun could join the gang at first, and his equipment was bought for nothing.

Feng Haogeng squatted in a corner, and spent a lot of effort rubbing the flint against the dry wood. But apparently he is not very skilled in life skills, and the flint and steel are cracked, but there is no spark. In the end, it was Yang Haohui who helped, and in fire mode, he rubbed a small flame as easily as breathing.

The group sat around the campfire, and an iron pot was set up on a simple stand made of tree branches, and the thick smell of meat was bubbling out. Everyone in the ghost class brought their own spare food, but most of it was raw. Yang Haohui boiled the dried meat and wild fruits provided by the team into a soup, and the temperature at night was very low, so he needed hot food to maintain his strength.

Han Shihao and Feng Haogeng explained the role of dragon dung, and he understood it. With the protection of feces, the flame will attract the primordial beast, and the smell of feces can also well mask the aroma of food.

This is the experience of a veteran explorer, every move is not untargeted, and the first impression that the fat uncle left on everyone like a ruffian has gradually changed.

A bowl of broth with some fruits and vegetables, dinner is simple, but with the surrounding forest environment, there is a little more game.

After eating, the fat uncle threw down the sentence "Xiao Wang Xiaoling is in the same room with me, and the melon baby keeps vigil", and then turned into one of the tents to sleep, and the middle-aged uncle didn't seem to have much interest in having a warm relationship with the rest of the expedition. A moment later, a loud snoring sound came from the tent, and the straightforward uncle slept at the same straightforward speed.

As soon as this only "outsider" left, the camp suddenly became a lot more lively. They are all students of the Dream Soul Academy, and those who can talk about what they can't talk about are just like that. Yang Haohui and Lan Borou asked Wang Shun about some knowledge of artificial Yuanwu, and Lan Borou and Feng Haogeng discussed what game was delicious in the Forest of the End. Ling Haoyun leaned against a broken piece of wood to drink soup, and silently looked at the people in the ghost class in the light of the bonfire, with a gentle smile like an elder in his eyes.

"Senior, respect you. Someone on the side suddenly accosted him, Ling Haoyun turned his head to see that Han Shihao was handing him a wooden wine glass.

"Ahh Ling Haoyun took the cup with trepidation, "I still want to bring wine, I'm too careful." ”

"I thought it would be cold at night, and the wine would go away from the cold. Han Shihao stood next to Ling Haoyun and leaned on the broken wood, and drank a cup himself, "There are not many people in our class who can drink, and if we can meet the principal, we can be regarded as a drinking friend, so we won't be lonely when we drink wine together." ”

"It's so polite, it's so polite. Ling Haoyun nodded, he was always so polite.

"Thank you for helping us find such a good leader. Han Shihao looked at the tent that the fat uncle walked into, "To be honest, I was really blind at first, and I thought that the fat uncle was just a gangster." ”

"You will have this impression because I found Uncle Fat, after all, I am a waste wood. Ling Haoyun scratched his head embarrassedly, "But he is very reliable, unlike me, don't worry." ”

Han Shihao was stunned, a little didn't know how to answer Ling Haoyun's straightforward self-deprecating words, but Ling Haoyun asked again: "Do you know the strength of Uncle Fat?"

Han Shihao shook his head, no one mentioned these details at the previous meal.

"He's just a normal guy. Ling Haoyun took a sip of ale, "When I first arrived here, I didn't understand anything, the forest, the market, I just thought everything was fun and everything was fresh, and I didn't know how chaotic the neutral zone was. I met Uncle Fat in a restaurant in the bazaar, and I was about to pay after eating....... The money bag is gone. ”

"Oh......." Han Shihao felt a little embarrassed, he listened to Ling Haoyun talk about the chaos in the neutral zone, he thought there would be some thrilling unfolding, but it turned out to be just such a bland turn of losing money. Moreover, the travel ring is very popular in the Tianyuan Realm, and there is no fear of people stealing items when they are stored in it, and there are not many things like losing money bags in these years.

"I don't have the money to buy a travel ring, junior, you also know that I can't make much money from the first two missions......." Ling Haoyun explained very understandingly, "At that time, four strong men surrounded me, now that I think about it, they are probably the ones who stole the money, and there are a lot of black shops here." Ling Haoyun smiled, "One of them is the shopkeeper, he stood up and told me that I should either pay or chop off one of my fingers." Those strong men are all elemental masters, and I can't resist at all if they go together, not to mention that if I don't blow it, I'm still quite weak. ”

"Uncle Fat helped you out of the siege?" asked Han Shihao.

Ling Haoyun nodded: "It's not a complicated story, it's easy to guess. I was in a dilemma when I heard an angry roar next to me. The fat uncle stood up with a hula group, he pointed at the shopkeeper's nose and scolded, and said something 'This is Lao Tzu's man'. Ling Haoyun paused, "You can't imagine how cool he was at that time. ”
