In the middle foothills of the island, a mountain stream cascades down the valley like a white stream, forming a slightly larger deep pool near the exit of the valley not far away. 「」

This is where many creatures on the island live, and wild deer with huge horns chase and run around the pool.

The calm surface of the pool suddenly moved, and a swirling whirlpool appeared on the water surface, as if a big leak suddenly appeared at the bottom of the pool.

Not far from the edge of the pool, the whirlpool grew larger and larger, alarming the surrounding animals, and even the surface killer who was camouflaging driftwood did not care about his tracks, and wandered away from the danger.

The animals are in a hurry.

But the whirlpool soon sucked up the water in the pool, revealing a large hole at the bottom of the pool, and the waterfall not far away still poured water into the pool, but the water in the pool could no longer be filled, but it was shallow and not above the ankles.

The deep pool turned into a depression, and a dull blasting sound suddenly came from the original pool wall.

The mud and the rotting roots of the plants soaked in the water burst open, and then a large hole appeared in the wall of the pool, and one man jumped out first.

"It's safe outside, get out of here! Evil, it stinks! ”

The weight of the two-handed greatsword was comparable to that of an adult, and the weight of the weight caused Abbot's knees to sink into the mud at the bottom of the pool, and the mud that had accumulated for years had not seen the sun for a long time, and it smelled of foul odor.

One by one, the rest of the people came out of the cave and climbed ashore. 「」

Jacob, who is suspected of being from a great aristocracy, seems to have some cleanliness habits, and after going ashore, he can't wait to propose to go upstream to clean up.

"Finally out of the ground!" Sarina complains to Lin An, "I almost thought I had been reincarnated as a mole!" ”

"We didn't encounter any danger along the way, and I think the price was worth it—"

Lin An smiled and looked up at the colorful demon source that could already be seen clearly.

It stands on the top of a high mountain. A line of snow can be clearly seen halfway up the mountain, and the yellow-green vegetation begins to turn white halfway up the mountain.

Snow white mountain tops. A colorful fountain of elements is like a giant pillar inserted into the clouds, and the top is not visible above.

Even standing here, Lin An could clearly feel the richness of the elements, and all kinds of elements diffused and active between heaven and earth, spreading towards the edge of the island like ripples.

"If you can advance here, the success rate will definitely be at least 30% higher than that outside!" Lin An sighed.

"I'd like to know the location of all the treasures here more than this, and the closer you get to the place where the elements are strong. The more likely you are to generate rare materials and treasures! Sarina said.

"It's not a good thing for us to come across treasures now. So many days. All participants should enter, we must hurry up with time, but there is no time to spare energy and time for ordinary treasures. ”

Behind him in the woods, a male voice interjected, and Joshua's Patmore figure emerged from among the treetops, its long beak emitting Joshua's deep male voice—

"The sun here is as drowsy as the afternoon, and we thought you were going to take a nap, but we heard what you just said. Obviously you're ready for the rest of the trip, aren't you? My ladies? ”

There is a difference between men and women, and they are separated from men and women, and Lin An and Sarina have rightfully gotten the position upstream. Even the cleanliness Jacob had no opinion on this.

Of course, Lin An and the two could hear Joshua's euphemistic criticism, and Lin An stood up with a smile, "Do you know the next road?" ”

She asked knowingly.

The blood-red Patmo shook his wings and tilted his head, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, "Abbott and Spike have gone to explore the path and will be back soon." ”

Nominally, he has always been the only guide in the team, and through Guò's walking in the waterways for the past few days, he has finally established real prestige among the eight.

"That kid is fast, but don't even clean the sludge, it stinks like a ferret." Sarina frowned and muttered.

With the slow run-in and familiarity, they do not deliberately maintain the use of honorific titles when they talk in private, only Jacob is still a little unaccustomed, and some etiquette words will pop up from time to time, so on the surface, everyone seems to have a preliminary tacit understanding and trust. 「」

Of course, these are all quickly brought about by the force, as fragile and thin as a soap bubble, and they cannot stand up to consideration in the face of real choices.

But they also all know that before arriving at the Demon Source, at least such a preliminary tacit understanding and trust must be formed, so that this group can basically have the ability to confront other participants.

***

Rustling footsteps sounded on the ground, and six or seven people walked through the forest,

Lin An, who walked in the middle, was wearing a dark short robe, with fluffy brown hair tied behind him, and a pair of long leather boots with thick soles and hard soles under his feet.

The long leather boots stepped lightly on the ground, and there was a sudden pause.

"What's the matter, Lena."

Salin, who was cloaked in a cloak behind him, asked in a muffled voice, using the pseudonym that Lin An had introduced himself to the others.

At this time, Joshua, who was walking in the front position, also stopped, raised his head, and looked through the shade of the trees to see the shape of Patmo flying in the air.

"Obviously, we've got new friends again." Looking up for a moment, Joshua said in his usual gentle tone.

"Spike, that guy doesn't just happen to run into each other, right?"

Abbot has an inexplicable passion for pathfinding, but because there are only three mages out of eight and only three warriors, Spike is undisputed to be an outpost because of the martial arts special, and Abbot can only follow the team in a resigned manner, so he pays special attention to the results of Spike's pathfinding.

"I don't know if it's friend or foe this time." Sarina, who was walking at the back of the line, said.

"I'm betting on going to war - this time I'm in the bank, are you going to bet?" Abbot said.

"I'll have one, a hundred gold rego......"

Unexpectedly, Jacob was the first to respond.

He muttered, "My space is almost out of these small pieces of metal, I really don't know what those unlucky ghosts are doing when they enter the first layer and carry a bag of gold coins with them?" ”

"Me too, I'm two copies with Spike."

"Christopher and I got up for three."

Joshua and Lin An said that Christopher was a pseudonym for Salin, and that he had no objection to Lin An's representative.

"No. "I don't have that many places......"

Abbot's protest was not over, and Nicholas, who had been silent, interjected. The voice is low-

"You won."

As his words fell, a flock of birds fluttered in the woods below the sky where Patmo flew.

Everyone knew what this change meant, and the relaxed atmosphere faded away, and everyone looked into the distance.

"It's a fight." Nicholas concluded.

"Did Spike and the others do it?" Lin Ann asked Joshua.

Although there were some surprises with the participants, there was no nervousness on the part of the group, and they had already encountered several unexpected encounters along the way, and they were adept at dealing with all kinds of changes, and there were no attritions or injuries during the process - in fact. The forces of eight people are combined, in fragments in this plane. It is true that there are no accidents that can threaten them, even to the reduction of Cheng Dù.

The crowd waited for Joshua's answer.

"It doesn't seem to be, it's two groups of people who have encountered." Joshua looked at Patmore flying in the air for a few moments before speaking.

But before he could finish his sentence, an arrow with a fiery red tail flew out of the forest beneath Patmo's body like lightning, and was about to hit the bloodbird in an instant.

In the flash of lightning, Patmo's wings shook, and he sank violently, and the brushing arrow wind brought a few fiery red bird feathers down. Fluttering down.

Extinguish -

Patmore chirped angrily. Leaning to dodge a barrage of arrows from below, he hurled into the jungle below.

"Look for death."

Jacob said lightly.

"Magic arrow," Nicholas tasted. "It seems to be a flame attribute."

"Still have time to find my pet? Interesting! Joshua snorted, and the demon pet was careless and almost attacked, which made him very angry, "Let's go." ”

Since the eight of them came together, only they took the initiative to provoke people, and no one else took the initiative to trouble them.

Lin An and the others glanced at each other, and Aibo raised his eyebrows and followed first:

With the strength of eight people, there is no one here who threatens them, anyway, it is someone else who is unlucky, and they have their share in the profits, so it doesn't matter if they move around.

Soon, they followed the sound and found the location of the battle.

Spike doesn't appear, but since Patmo's fiery figure isn't far away, Spike must be nearby.

Among the trees, the grass and trees fell, spells and fighting energy splattered, and there were four people fighting each other, one mage and three warriors.

In the woods, a little deeper to them from them, there was also an archer in light leather armor, who was only pinned down by Joshua's Patmo.

Judging from the scene, it can barely be called a stalemate, but the balance of victory is obviously tilted in favor of the two warriors, because the combination of a warrior and a mage has fresh burns on their bodies, which are obviously caused by magic arrows.

If it weren't for Patmo holding back the archers on the side of the two warriors, I'm afraid that before Lin An and them arrived, that combination of magic and martial arts would have been defeated and died.

But today may be their lucky day, before the complete defeat, the arrival of the eight, alarming both sides at the same time.

Lin An and the others didn't hide it at all, in fact, with the strength of their lineup, even if the two groups of people combined, it would only cause them a little trouble at most.

Extinguish -

As soon as the eight people appeared, the two groups of people who were in the middle of the battle retracted their hands in unison, only the chirping of Patmo in the forest continued, and it was obvious that Joshua's demon pet began to be reluctant when he learned of his master's arrival.

"Who touched my pet?"

Joshua took the staff, and without looking at the situation of the two groups, he said:

"Whether it's direct or indirect, kill yourself, and we'll leave you all dead."

As if his brain was delayed for a moment before he realized what Joshua was saying, the eyes of the two people in the combination of magic and martial arts instantly lit up, just like a person walking on the endless coast who saw the light at first glance before despair, his face was happy, and he immediately looked at the two warriors opposite.

In fact, there was no need for them to say anything, Lin An and the other eight pairs of eyes had already firmly focused on the two people.

In the fallen trees, sixteen gazes were like substance, directly freezing the two of them in place. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the Biquge www.biquge.info (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, your support is my biggest motivation. )
