Mu Chen and Qi Luna arrived at the Giant Crocodile Forest, and the two of them stopped at the entrance, he looked up and exclaimed, "I haven't seen it for a long time, but it's still so spectacular." ”

There are many different kinds of magical beasts living in the Giant Crocodile Forest, but as the name suggests, the most powerful and representative are the giant crocodiles, they are huge, they look the same as crocodiles, they can crawl and walk upright, and their thick tails and mouths full of nearly 100 sharp teeth make them the rulers of this place.

In addition to the giant crocodile, what is even more intimidating here is the thick and straight towering trees, each trunk is at least five meters in diameter, looking up at the canopy of dozens of meters high, covering its own shadow on the earth, because of this, except for tenacious weeds and fungi that like humid environments, other low plants have no way to survive.

In the common sense of the forest, the mottled light points will illuminate the surroundings during the day, but here, the sunlight cannot penetrate the dense branches and leaves, only the light will penetrate around the woodland, and the further you go to the center, the darker it becomes, until you can't see your fingers.

There are strong and fierce giant crocodiles on the ground to block the intruders, and there is an impermeable canopy in the sky to cover the body, because of these two things, the spirit race chose to live here in order to avoid fighting.

After Mu Chen sighed, the two of them strode into the forest with their heads held high, without preparing any items for illumination.

The Giant Crocodile Forest has always been a forbidden place for humans and mercenary alike, and if it weren't for the search for expensive penetrating wings, no one would want to enter here, and they often gather in groups, bundle torches into a ball, set up a fire while marching, like Mu Chen and Qi Luna, walking empty-handed, swaggering, in the eyes of ordinary people, is tantamount to suicide.

As the distance deepened, the sunlight that slanted into the woodland gradually disappeared, and the road under their feet became more and more blurred, and the two slowed down accordingly.

"Eh, girl, isn't it too dark, do you have torches?"

Qiluna materialized the torch and lit it, and before the two of them could get used to the light, dozens of pairs of glittering eyes appeared around them, and the giant crocodile followed them all the way, surrounding them.

"This..."

As soon as Mu Chen wanted to speak, Qi Luna disappeared, and the torch fell to the ground, and while he bent down to pick it up, the sound of the dagger hitting the hard object and the wail of the beast sounded, and when he picked up the torch, Qi Luna not far away was sorting out her outfits, spilling the blood stuck to the weapon.

"I'll take it, you're in charge of protecting me. Hehe. ”

The two of them walked in the flat forest one after the other, except for the thick tree trunks and the occasional swamp, there was no obstacle, which also made the demonic beasts that could only hide in the darkness nowhere to hide, with the light of the fire, Mu Chen looked ahead, moving at a constant speed, while Qi Luna rushed left and right, killing happily.

Finally, two hours after entering the woodland, they stopped, and two thick tree trunks that were significantly smaller than the others appeared in front of them, and the trunks were wedged with crossbars in the form of steps, which seemed to be made to facilitate climbing, but for ordinary people, the distance was too far to easily go up and down.

"I didn't expect that the fulcrum I did for the two of us back then is still there, and I haven't skipped it for a long time. "There is no light here, so it is not suitable for flying, and they used this passage to communicate with the spirit race.

Mu Chen half-squatted on the spot a few times, moved his ankles again, finished preparing for the action, jumped up the first wooden staircase six or seven meters high, looked up at the position of the crossbar on the trunk of the tree next door, and shouted to Qi Luna below: "I'll go up first." Then the figure vanished, leaving only the sound of trampling still echoing through the forest.

He quickly came to the top, accidentally saw the torch in his hand, looked down at the bottomless abyss, and said to himself, "You can do it." ”

Qiluna, who had no light, jumped up to the first step in the dark, and found that her standing was unstable and her movements could not be connected, so she adjusted her body shape and used her hands instead, just like that, she grabbed the crossbar step by step, and then used the inertia generated by the rotation to throw herself upward, and came to Mu Chen's side smoothly.

"Eh, this is for you, it's useless. Mu Chen put out the torch and returned it to her, turned his head, and hurried away.

They followed the branches again, climbed to the bottom of the shiny canopy, laboriously peeled off the branches and leaves that were intertwined, and just poked their heads out, their eyes suddenly opened up, and there were two worlds separated by a layer.

What should be a canopy of branches and foliage is wide and vast, bright and bright, and the artificial pruning and paving have turned this place into a human town growing on trees.

The ground is made of thick branches as the base, and the soft and flexible branches are woven into a network to connect with each other, and then covered with thick leaves to fill the holes.

More than ten meters above the ground is covered with a layer of penetrating wings, and the spirit clan hollows out the dense canopy layer, leaving a thickness that is enough to resist threats and penetrate sunlight, and then uses penetrating wings to enlarge and illuminate the entire internal space.

The most subtle thing is that all the buildings are made of branches, square and regular, as if they had grown like this. Some are tied to the branches of the ground, some are suspended and attached to the trunk of the tree, and some are hung directly on the top, making use of the limited space to achieve perfection.

A gentle breeze blows through the vents set up around the area, which not only keeps the air flowing, but also regulates the temperature and humidity.

This Sky City, located at the top of the Giant Crocodile Forest, has guarded the safety of the Spirit Race for decades, while also isolating them from the outside world and no longer participating in the affairs of the world.

Mu Chen was still familiar with the scene in his memory, but there were dozens of wooden spears facing him beside him, from head to toe, from all directions.

They were surrounded by the Spirit Clan guards, and the leader hovering in the air shouted with a tough attitude: "How did you come up, what are you doing in our Spirit Tree City?"

Mu Chen looked up at him, except for the wings that kept flapping behind his back, his appearance and body were the same as those of humans, but his skin was cautious, white and gray, and he was thin, and the muscles on his exposed arms and legs were clearly visible, similar to the hungry refugees in the slums of Baoling City, nearly one meter eight tall, and he looked like he was only seventy or eighty pounds.

"You... You..."Mu Chen looked around and found that the spirit clans who were able to fight well and were high-spirited back then were all like this, like survivors who survived the outbreak of the epidemic.

"Tell me quickly, what are you doing, if you don't reply, I'll kill you now. Mao Jian had already pointed at Mu Chen's forehead, and instead of dodging, he frowned.

Qi Luna didn't care about this, she pulled out the dagger from her waist and tossed back and forth in the encirclement, the spears in everyone's hands were immediately cut into wooden sticks sixty or seventy centimeters long, and the spear heads were scattered all over the ground.

"You, you... Haha, okay girl, don't hurt them. ”

"Quick... Just go... Go and call the elders...", this sentence is commonplace, asking for the order made by the superiors, and it became the trigger for escape, and all the spirit clans retreated, retreating more than fifty meters before stopping, without any casualties, and the battle that had not yet started was over.

"Girl, they're... What's wrong with them? Are we in the wrong place?"

Kiruna had no expression on her face, but shook her head to indicate that she didn't know either.

Attracted by the noise, many spirit clans poked their heads out of the house, and as soon as they saw Mu Chen and Qi Luna, they quickly shrank back and locked the doors and windows. The pedestrians on the road also hurriedly dodged, and just like that, miserable white faces flashed in front of Mu Chen's eyes, making him even more confused.

"Girl, what's wrong with this Spirit Clan, has there been a plague here? Why are they all skinny, weak and can't help the wind, and even their courage has become so small, is this still the Spirit Clan that fought against the Dragon Clan and fought with the Yu Clan back then? I haven't seen them for decades, they..." The confusion in Mu Chen's heart made him ask again and again, and he was speechless for the last moment, not knowing how to continue.

The sunlight shining in the closed Spirit Tree City was still dazzling, but the only dozen or so trembling guards left on the streets made this place look extremely depressed.

The two took a few tentative steps, and the guards followed their steps and retreated, all of them looking nervous and serious, but the lush foliage and the undulating birdsong could not bring out the atmosphere as it should be, more like some kind of coordinated seamless procession or dance, keeping them at a certain distance and moving in the same rhythm.

"No, no, I can't stand it, what are these people going to do? We are like magnets, take a step forward, they take a step back, and no one comes up to talk, so it's consumed. ”

"We have no malicious intent, we are not here to make trouble, my name is Mu Chen, her name is Qi Luna, I have dealt with you before, but it was decades ago, does anyone here still remember us? Don't be afraid, don't hide. Mu Chen reported to his home, hoping that someone would remember him.

As soon as the words ended, the doors and windows of the wooden houses around them suddenly opened, and the residents inside scrambled to lean out, and some even flew out of the windows, circling above their heads to watch. The guards also threw away their weapons and ran towards them half-running and half-flying, and after a while, the two of them were surrounded by layers, and everyone's faces were still pale, but their expressions were cheerful, which was very different from before.

"You are... Big... Ambassadors?"

"It's more than a hundred years old, why are you still so young?"

"Ambassadors, like dragons, are immortal and naturally do not age. ”

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, I have the wood carving of the ambassador, Bibi knows. ”

All the spirit clans looked at the statue in his hand, which was more than ten centimeters long, and looked at Mu Chen and Qi Luna, and after going back and forth a few times, someone snatched the statue away, placed it in front of them, and compared it at close range.

"It's... What ambassadors, this..."

"The Elder has arrived. Just when Mu Chen was wondering, outside the crowd, four guards carried a reclining chair and slowly flew over, on which lay a white-robed Spirit Clan Elder.
