"You're a girl?" Ashford looked at Purple Moon Dao. Although they look the same, Ziyue's voice is easy to confirm gender.

"With me being so ......" Ziyue originally wanted to say that there is such a beautiful boy as me, but she suddenly remembered that I was one. Even if the purple sun is a special case, under normal circumstances, when you see me like me, you should think of a girl first, right? ”

"I'm sorry, I was rude!" Ashford hastened to apologize. "To reintroduce you, I'm Ashford, the Iron Cross President."

"My name is Purple Moon, Deputy Military Commander of the Frost Rose Alliance."

After the introduction, Ashford looked at a messy beach. "What's going on here? Why did it hit so hard? ”

"It's all to blame for Ziri's stupidity, who let people refit the battleship and didn't accept it, but forgot to install the deceleration lever. That's how we raced all the way from China at super speed. We were still in China yesterday morning, and we were only 24 hours away from Europe, so we were almost on board! ”

Asford was startled when he heard this. "You just rushed ashore and slowed down?"

"What else can I do?"

"That's right." Ashford looked at the beach and said, "What about these fragments?" You guys come here with something system error! - 0x000000008, 112619180, right? I'm afraid it's all crashed at such a speed! ”

"The things we transported are in the carry-on space and have not been damaged, but the wreckage of the battleship still needs to be cleaned up. There are a lot of technologies on the battleship that our two guilds share, such as thruster technology. You don't want a third-party guild to get it, do you? ”

"Of course." Ah Xiufu hurriedly turned around and ordered his men to clean up the debris, and Ziyue and the others also went down to pack up their things.

A day ago, the Biling had just left China.

The Biling left the port, and we couldn't catch up with its speed, and we couldn't help if we knew there was a problem, so we had to pray for them. According to the plan, I left Isengard with Rose and headed for the Great Northwest. Ride the Nightshade and pull the rose up and sit in front of me. Bai Lang followed us to the left, riding Xiao Chun and Jingjing on their backs. Xiaoxue walked on the other side of us, and Ling and Amenes sat on it. Xiaofeng turned into a pet dance form and stood on my shoulder, and the birds circled above us to reconnoiter at high altitude. At the back were 10 knights of Suzune following us on their horses. This lineup is large enough.

With such a team into the teleportation array, our target is a place called Luji City. Yesterday, when I was studying the map, I searched for a long time, and only this city is relatively close to the destination. The game map also takes into account the real situation and is practical, the distance between cities in the northwest is relatively large, and there are only scattered small cities in the desert area. This roadbed city is one of such cities, and there are no cities for hundreds of kilometers around.

When we showed up in Roadbase City, Insight stunned the players around us, and it was not often that such a glamorous team could be found in such a place. After walking out of the teleportation array, I found that the buildings here were all made of loess, and the yellow sand on the street was more than an inch thick, which looked very dilapidated. A super sun roasted overhead, and the surrounding heat was rolling. We had already brought enough dry food and drinking water before we came out this time, so we didn't make any supplements and went straight out of the city.

Standing at the gate of the city, we froze.

"Are we in the wrong place?" Rose asked.

I looked left and right, and outside the city was an endless desert, and even if I opened the star's pupils, my vision was still full of yellow sand. "There's no forest in a place like this, can you?"

"Look at the map."

I quickly raised my left hand to face the front, and a holographic map appeared in front of us. "This is where we are now, where the forest should be in front, there is no mistake!"

"Then let's take a walk, maybe there's something like a fantasy that obscures the forest."

"May I ask if you are looking for the Forest of Sand?" A player dressed in a strange costume appears in front of us. Judging by his clothing, he is definitely not a warrior, if not an assassin or something, he should be a mage.

"Forest of Sand?" I swung left and right and opened the map again, startling the guy. "Is this the Forest of Sand you're talking about?" I pointed the tip of my spear at a point on the map.

"It's here, but the road there is very difficult to walk, take me, I can make you take fewer detours."

Rose said to me, "Shall we let him be a guide?" It's also a headache to always go the wrong way. ”

"Then listen to you." I looked up at the player and said, "What do you need?" ”

"5 Crystal Coins." The guy slammed his hands.

"Deal. My name is Purple Sun and this is Rose. What is your name? ”

"My name is the Flower Burial Man."

"Do you have a mount?" Rose asked.

"System error! - 0x000000008, 112619180 Yes, I have a sand lizard. ”

"Sand lizards?"

The flower bury man immediately pulled out a monster from the nearby alley, which looked like a giant chameleon. Seeing us look at us with suspicion, the flower undertaker exclaimed, "Don't underestimate my sand lizards, they are much faster in the desert than those useless horses." He looked at our mount with disdain.

Nightshade hissed, and the sharp corners of his head immediately shone with a compressed ball of electricity. I understood what Nightshade meant: "I'm not a horse. ”

How do you know that the funeral flowers are humane: "It's all the same, anyway, it's all waste when you encounter quicksand." You follow in my footsteps, don't run outside, fall into the quicksand and you'll be finished. ”

"You just have to go, don't worry about us."

"Alright, follow me."

The Funeral Flower Man rode on the sand lizard and rushed out into the desert outside the city, and we immediately followed. The Undertaker is very confident in his mount, and when we leave the city, we know that he does have the ability to be confident. The sand lizard is flying on the yellow sand, and its speed is far faster than ordinary creatures. The war horse that relies on four hooves to advance is indeed at a loss, the hooves are too small, and when they step on the sand, they sink into it and cannot gallop at full speed. In the end we had to get off the ground and fly. The Knights of the Bell Tone have all been added with the Dark Floating Cloud Technique, the White Waves have been added with the Wings of Light, and the Night Shadow and Xiaoxue are already able to fly.

The flower bury man was also taken aback when he saw all of us flying, he didn't expect that we would all fly. In fact, if I hadn't heard that there were many monsters in that Sand Forest, I wouldn't have had to make such a large lineup to defend them.

The sand lizards were fast, and we were flying, and there was no delay on the way. The sand lizard suddenly stopped, and the flower bury jumped off the sand lizard.

We landed. "Why did you stop?"

"Here we are."

"Arrived?" Rose and I looked left and right but saw nothing. "Where?"

The funeral flower man pointed to the ground. "We are now standing above the Forest of Sand, a rare underground forest right under your feet."

"What about the entrance?"

The Undertaker commanded his mount to sniff the ground for a while, and finally the sand lizard found a place to start digging, and in a few minutes a huge stone slab appeared on the ground. "This is the entrance, open the slab and you can enter. Our agreement was to send you to the Forest of Sand, and now that it's here, you can pay me, right? ”

I waved my hand forward, and Scott took a few bell knights to grab the ring buckle on the slate and pull it back violently, and the whole slate system was wrong! -0x000000008, 112619180 flew up, it seems that this slate is not as heavy as imagined, and the bell knight is obviously using too much force. Scott put his head in and looked at it, and said, "There's a forest." ”

I took out the crystal coin and handed it to the funeral flower man. "How big is it?"

Funeral flowers: "I don't know how big it is, anyway, no one has ever walked it." You'd better get ready to go back to the city scrolls before entering, it's no joke to get lost. Or you can continue to hire me as a guide. ”

"Yes." I answered without hesitation.

"I'll start with it, the cost this time is 20 crystal coins."

"Why so many?"

_____________________________________

"There are so many people who know about the Sand Forest, so the competition is fierce. But I am the only one in this forest who knows the road, and the monopoly economy is of course more expensive. ”

Rose shook my arm a little angrily and said, "Let's go by ourselves, there is a map anyway." ”

"Okay." I said to the funeral flowers: "We don't need you to lead the way, goodbye." ”

"Then be careful yourself, don't blame me for not reminding you, the monsters and traps here are terrifying." After saying that, he turned around and rode the sand lizard and left. I didn't notice a strange look in his eyes.

After the sand lizard disappeared into the dunes with the flower mourners, we also set out to enter the forest. There was no passage under this stone slab, but a large hole that led directly to the space where the Sand Forest was located. Sticking your head down from this cave can see the lush canopy at the top of the forest, and there seems to be bright lighting in the hole, and it is not known what the light source is. The bottom of the cave is completely obscured by trees, and the ground is not visible. However, there is a drop of nearly 100 meters between the top of the tree and the ground, and such a large space can only appear in the magic world!

I put away my pet and jumped into the cave with the rose in my arms. With the help of wings, we slowly fall towards the system error! - 0x000000008, 112619180 The bottom of the cave, but just as we touched the canopy, it suddenly darkened overhead, and someone closed the hole. Rose put his arm on my shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it, let's look for ore first, anyway, if you want to go out, you can teleport directly." ”

Rose didn't say that I wasn't worried, but when she said that, I didn't think it was right. Even if the other party doesn't know that I have a teleportation ring, he should know that there is such a thing as a return scroll, and there is no need for him to close the entrance to the cave! I quickly experimented with the teleportation ring, and sure enough, it was as I guessed.

Rose nervously asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Teleportation is restricted here!"

"That's okay, it's not a problem to make a hole in it with our destructive power. The top floor is only seven or eight meters thick. ”

"That's right."

No longer worrying about going out, we slowly landed on the top of the tree. Because the wings were in the way in the woods, it was not convenient to fly, so we landed on the top of the tree and climbed down. Let the rose slung to my back, then hang the dragon tendon rope on a fork big enough to carry our weight, and jump straight down. As the dragon tendon rope is slowly laid out, we also descend at a uniform speed. It soon became clear that this forest was not as simple as it seemed. We've descended more than 100 meters from the top of the tree, but we still haven't reached the ground, and we don't even know where it is. As I continued to descend, the foliage around me became noticeably denser, and then I had to descend while using the eternal path. I finally landed on the ground and looked at the length record of the dragon tendon cord on my arm, oh my God! 271 meters! Is this a tree?

Retracting the dragon tendon rope, we began to have a lot of surroundings. The ground here is black mud, soft and well-hydrated. The trees here only start to grow branches from a height of more than six meters, so the ground is very empty and not crowded with branches. Next to us was the tree that had just landed, and it was extremely thick where it connected to the ground, with a trunk diameter of about 19 to 20 meters! - 0x000000008,112619180 sub. In reality, if the tree grows so big, it is estimated that it will not be blown by the wind, and its own weight will break it.

I don't know what the reason is, the forest is full of fog, and the visibility is only a dozen meters. I hurriedly summoned my men to help. The environment here is not suitable for flying pets and mounts, so Xiaofeng and the like and Night Shadow are not summoned. The space in the forest is not very large, and I haven't summoned any large magic pets. However, the land here is quite suitable for the actions of rosevines and pioneers.

Rose, nervous by the gloomy environment, grabbed my arm tightly and followed me. The Bell Knight formed a protective circle on our side and behind us, and I was at the front. Rosevines and Pathfinders are underground, detecting for us any unusual vibrations on the ground nearby, and they'll be the first to know if anything comes close.

Once the defensive ring was set up, I opened the map and looked at the green dots that represented me, and then at the mineral burial spots. "Over there." I pointed to the left. Retract the map and start moving towards the objective.

As we advanced, the fog in the forest was getting heavier and the visibility was getting lower, and the edges of my and Rose's armor were small droplets. Ling and Xiaochun in the back were even more miserable, and the tulle skirts of the two of them had already become a transparent gauze attached to their bodies. The two former goddesses realized that their image was a little bad and quickly summoned their armor, which was much better.

After continuing to walk for a distance, Bai Lang suddenly stopped. "There's a smell of blood up ahead."

"Can you smell any blood?"

"No, the smell is too faint."

"Stop." A silver feather fell from my wing, turning into a steel silver bee in the air. The little guy immediately started flying forward, and I could see everything it saw. Looking at the visual images transmitted by the silver bee, it feels like you are flying. The screen progresses, and the target is quickly discovered. The skeleton of a large animal with no visible shape is lying on the ground, and its body has been gnawed by the system! - 0x000000008, 112619180 is a mess, and it is completely impossible to see what it is.

I directed the silver bee to turn around a few times, but I didn't see anything, so I had to move on. As he approached the pile of bones, the ground suddenly moved, and the tentacles of rose vines popped up. The apparition began to relay the meaning of the rose vine.

"There are footsteps approaching."

"Be careful, everyone." I said to the knights around the ringtone.

The phantom kept translating, "The target is coming towards us, and the distance is approaching. ”

"In what direction?"

"There are 11 of them all around, and they are fast and approaching us."

"Type, size."

"A bipedal walking creature that weighs about 150 kilograms."

"The distance now?"

"700 meters...... 600 m ...... 500 m ...... 400 m ...... 300 m ...... 200 m ...... 100 m ...... Still approaching. ”

Suddenly, the phantom said nervously, "The target is gone." ”

"Disappear?"

"Suddenly there is no signal!" The apparition explained, "That's what the rose vine said. Suddenly it disappeared, and there was no vibration anymore. It could be that the other person left the ground, or it could have stopped. ”

We all looked around nervously, but we couldn't see anything. I said to Bai Lang, "Do you smell anything unusual?" ”

"Nope."

Rose whispered, "Shouldn't there be no smell when it's so close?" ”

But Bai Lang said: "There is no smell around except for our familiar smells. ”

"Ling. Are there mana fluctuations? ”

"No, there aren't any mana fluctuations around."

I said strangely, "That's weird." The other party is only 100 meters away from us, walking will be felt by the rose vine, flying with wings will be heard by the white waves to hear the sound of air currents, flying with magic will also have magic fluctuations! ”

Rose listened to my analysis and suddenly said, "Not good! They must have gone up the tree. ”

Almost as soon as Rose finished shouting, the branches above her head shook, and 11 black shadows pounced down at the same time.
