At this time, the sky outside was still dark, there was no white fog, only a large bright moon hung in the sky, and a silver-white light mark was formed on the ground through the window.

Outside the hut, the night breeze was blowing, and the trees rustled softly.

As Freya frowned and pondered the connection, Lanny, who was sleeping on her side, suddenly became short of breath, and then sat up from the ground suddenly, his eyes heavy with fear, and his pupils constricted.

Freya, who hadn't recovered from Lena's incident, was immediately startled by her.

"What's wrong?" Freya looked at Lenny's unusual expression with alarm, frowning slightly.

Hearing Freya's voice, Lanny's body shook violently, and she suddenly came to her senses, she stretched out her hand and rubbed her temples, and then turned to Freya and said lightly: "... It's fine, it's just a nightmare. ”

"Oh." Freya nodded expressionlessly.

The two stopped talking, and Freya lay back on the blanket, closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

The soft touch of the thick blanket gave her an extremely real feeling, and when she looked at Lanny's eyes just now, she found that there was still a trace of fear there, and Freya could clearly feel a faint aura of negative energy exuding from Lanny's body.

This special aura is something that Freya often feels in the Necromantic Chamber.

She wondered if Lenny had endured what she had seen before.

'Don't know what this thing means?' ’

Freya, who closed her eyes, was in a mess, and she had no intention of sleeping, so she simply meditated again instead of sleeping.

As time slowly passed, the moon disappeared into the night sky, and a wave of morning light appeared in the distant sky. Some early birds also chirped in the woods.

"Hmm..."

Rand's body moved, rubbed his eyes, and sat up from the blanket.

And with the sound of him getting up, everyone else woke up sleepily.

Freya, who hadn't slept all night, stood up, shook her body, and patted her face to make herself feel better.

With her strength close to that of the Great Knight, even if she didn't sleep for three days and three nights in a row, it would have no effect. At most, the mental state is not as good as full sleep.

Five minutes later. Everyone woke up from their sleep.

Rand suddenly looked at Lenny and raised an eyebrow.

"Didn't you sleep last night?"

"What?" Lanny, who was packing his things, tilted his head at Rand and wondered, "How do you know?" ”

"Look at your face for yourself."

Listening to Rand's words, everyone turned to Randney in unison. found that on her originally quiet face, two big dark circles hung under her eyes, which were very obvious through the fair skin.

"Uhhhhh

As for why Lenny's face was the way it was, the others didn't ask. It's just that Freya kept an eye on it, and deliberately swept over Ashbourne and Lena.

only to find that the two of them were still the same as usual. Sticky and greasy together, they put on a posture of ignoring everything else.

This made Freya frown slightly.

If they hadn't paid much attention to it at first, she felt more and more that there was something unusual about these two people.

With this deep doubt. After a simple breakfast, everyone set off towards the center of the earth according to the original plan.

There are thrills along the way.

Half an hour later.

As the density of the woods slowly decreased, some strange brown rocks on the ground came into view.

In the crevices of some rocks, wisps of white gas can be faintly seen rising from them.

The smell of sulfur is getting stronger here as well.

Freya, who was at the front of the scout and acted as a scout, picked up a brown rock from the ground and stroked the roughness of the rock. Traces of heat emanated from the rocks, shattering into piles of particles and scattering them with a slight pinch.

"It's about 20 degrees. And the rocks here are very loose. ”

She looked up into the distance, where a large lake resembling an irregular half-moon was embedded in a brown rock of various sizes.

The water is so clear that even Freya, who is far away, can see the bottom of the lake at a glance, and white heat emanates from the water.

"Is this the Inner Lake?" Freya looked at the clear water, and she could clearly feel the fire particles that were thicker than usual in the world.

Glancing at the surroundings of the Earth's Heart Lake, there was not a single plant, only countless brown rocks.

The entire area around the lake was silent, and there was no sound except for the slight snorting of the heat as it erupted from the rocks.

"It's true that this kind of place is the environment where the flame scorpions are most often seen, but... Isn't it a little too quiet? ”

Freya frowned slightly, and walked around around the lake with some uncertainty.

But in addition to these special rocks, she actually found a lot of flat potholes in the ground.

These potholes are large and small, and the exact depth is unknown, as if they were naturally formed by the topography.

It was the first time she had been here, and she didn't know if it was meant to be.

After noticing nothing but the pothole, Freya walked to a large rock by the lake and sat down, puzzled.

The magic patterns on the leather armor lightly blocked the heat from the rocks, so she didn't feel any discomfort.

While quietly waiting for the arrival of the people behind her, she dug out her waist bag and carefully examined the contents in case she needed them.

Although this simple private pet looks simple, because of the weird thing that happened last night, Freya always feels that things will not be so simple.

She wasn't a professional necromancy after all, so she had no idea other than the message that Lena had spoken to her at the end.

But that didn't stop her from keeping her vigilant about the mission, and Lenny waking up from her sleep and having the necromantic energy attached to her.

All signs vaguely prove that Lena and Ashburn are weird.

So in order to have any emergencies, she can only take precautions.

Five minutes later, a few people from behind followed.

Rand, who was at the front, nodded to Freya and said hello, then glanced around, and his brow furrowed slightly when he saw the rocks around him.

"Has the terrain changed here, how is it different from what I used to be?"

"Yes?" After crushing a rock at his feet, Nikola looked around a little strangely, "I don't think it's any different from before, except for the lake and the rocks." ”

"Maybe I'm overthinking, after all, it's been three months since I first came here." Rand waved his hand and then turned to the crowd, "Okay, the flame scorpions all live in the burrows, everyone knows about this demonic creature, now I will distribute the scorpion grass to everyone, you just need to go to the hole with a diameter of about one meter and sweep it, if there is a noise, immediately contain it and inform the others, we will go over immediately, you know?" ”

"Hmm." The crowd nodded.

Once the flame scorpion is a low-level demonized creature with the help of the red snow bat, the lethality is still considerable, and the damage of any attack to it will be neutralized without breaking the force field of the red snow bat, with their current strength, it is impossible to deal with it alone, so they need other attackers to kill the red snow bat, and then they can submit it.

Seeing that everyone understood, Rand turned his gaze to Freya and said.

"Freya, you don't have any ranged spells of your own, so if you don't need to attack after discovering the flame scorpion, just notify us, understand?"

"Got it." Freya smiled and nodded.

Her biggest advantage is melee combat, but the Flame Scorpion is more dangerous to melee than ranged due to its special attack characteristics.

Of course, Freya could break through the force field protection of the red snow bat if she was at full firepower, but since Rand said these words, she would also push the boat with the flow, after all, in the eyes of everyone, although she has good skills, she is still only a low-level second-class apprentice.
