Aitalia is built on the second type of element. Because the glow material resembles a shining star, it is affectionately called 'starlight'.

To be exact, it's a sea of stars. Countless second-class elements pervade the entire world, containing a vast sea of high-dimensional information.

Everything here is made up of starlight (the second element), including life itself—even if it is equivalent to life. Because death only represents the loss of starlight in the living body, not the extinction itself. With the power of several gods, such as Mirella, the god of healing, Ori, the light of justice, the pure maiden Aisha, and the lucky lady Roman, people in this world have been given the ability to be resurrected many times.

And until the starlight in the body is completely extinguished, the life form will return to its essence, truly die and reassimilate with the world. The indigenous people of Aitalia seem to have understood this process for a long time, and they viewed it from a philosophical point of view, calling it 'the destination of all things'.

For the Electors, the process is almost the same, but the outcome is slightly different. Humans obtain Starlight through attunement to glowing matter, and the amount of Starlight in their bodies is equal to their degree of attunement to the world, and when it is completely zero, the Chosen One will be rejected by the sea of stars in Aitalia, returning to physical form and forever losing the opportunity to re-enter.

In addition, since the Aitariana Stargate itself is also constructed of Henghui matter, even stowaways like Fang Plover can still obtain a small amount of Starlight. That's about half of the normal electees, and a little less.

For the Elect, though, Aitalia has an absolute taboo.

That is, the dead zone-

Due to the direct rejection of glow matter in the Dead Zone, the Electors who die here will not be able to communicate with the Starlight within them, and will be directly excluded from the world by the sea of stars in Aitalia.

Fang Yu never dreamed that his first mission would encounter such a scene, he finally came to this dream world, and before he really started his adventure, did he have to leave forever? His mind was a little confused for a while, and the words were stuck in his throat, and he could not speak, but faintly heard someone calling his name, and the voice seemed to come from the sky, and it was a little anxious.

"Ed!"

"Ed!?"

Fang Yu reacted suddenly, and only then did he come back to his senses, it was the voice of Silk Cape. He seemed to find himself all at once, and shouted, "Miss Scarpet, this is—"

He was answered with an exclamation.

"Be careful!"

Fang Yu paused for a moment and subconsciously raised his head.

At some point, there was a black shadow above the mound, and it pounced down, and the huge force directly threw him to the ground. He heard a low growl mixed with guttural voices, and a foul-smelling smell rushed to his face, and it was only then that he could see a huge mouth full of snow-white fangs, and the crimson tongue was raised under the jaw, and it was biting at him with saliva elongated into a filament.

The giant wolf, the square plover, almost stopped in heart, there are two subspecies of this creature, the forest giant wolf lives in the Nulinari giant tree hills; The Wolfwolf of the Wasteland inhabits the ancient wilderness of Rotao.

It's a giant forest wolf, its silver mane and huge physique are its signature features, and it shouldn't be here. Fang Yu desperately reached out to support the giant wolf's jaw, which had a little effect, but his hand was also cut by sharp teeth and claws, and it was bloody.

There was a whistle in the forest.

The giant wolf suddenly changed tactics and bit down on the other side of his neck.

It was over, and Fang Yu felt a burst of despair in his heart. Only then did he understand why the Timber Wolves were here, because there were druids on the other side. As soon as he thought that this was a dead and silent area, he didn't know where a stream of blood and courage came from, and he threw his fist indiscriminately, and punched the giant wolf in the eye socket.

The wolf's fangs almost bit his neck open, and the blood flowed profusely, and at the last moment, he raised his head in pain and swept him away with a single claw.

Behind him was a section of ruins, covered with purple dizzles, and Fang Yu rose into the air and crashed into it, almost losing his breath in pain. He finally regained his breath, but he saw the giant wolf shake its huge head, and its two burnt yellow eyes glowed faintly in the darkness, and looked in this direction again.

Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of weakness in his heart, even if he was intact and multiplied by ten, he might not be the opponent of this giant wolf, let alone now.

The beast's smooth silver fur was fully spread, majestic, almost a circle larger, and its arched back was nearly two meters high on all fours, like a strong bull.

It grinned, a low growl echoing through its throat.

This is a precursor to an attack.

Fang Yu could only pick up a piece of flint and hold it in his hand, and his blood flowed with the character of not admitting defeat, and he didn't know what to kill. A dark shadow shot out of the bushes and slammed into the wolf, and with a low roar, swept the beast away.

It was Quilrod, Fang Yu was so surprised that he almost cried out. Quillo raised his sword in both hands and slashed downward, but the wolf rolled backwards, causing him to slash into the thick leaves.

"Little ......" Fang Yu opened his mouth excitedly, trying to remind the other party that this was a dead silence zone, but there seemed to be a rag in his throat, so hoarse that he couldn't make any sound, so anxious that he snorted. He vaguely saw Quelod and the giant wolf wrestling together, slightly gaining the upper hand.

At that moment, a shadow slipped out of the darkness of the forest, and he stood not far behind Quelod. The man was dressed in dirty fur clothes, tall and thin, with long greasy black hair, gloomy eyes sunken deep in their sockets, cheeks almost skinny, and a short sword in his hand, the blade of which was dark and lackluster.

It was a short knife made of strange ironwood, a material commonly used by the druids in Nurinari to craft weapons and armor. He appeared almost silently, and Quelod was unaware. Seeing this, Fang Yuan's heart was extremely anxious, and he didn't know where a force came out of his throat, but it was at this moment that he felt a cold in his neck, and a sharp blade was put on his throat, and one hand covered his mouth, and dragged him backwards with all his might.

Fang Yu could only let out a low whining sound anxiously.

There was a faint smell behind him, a bit like the smell of the Kapka wilderness, where many lavender grew widely with a light fragrance. Fang Yu realized that the person who restrained him was a woman, and the woman reminded him with a cold blade, "Don't move—"

Fang Yu suddenly grasped the dagger with both hands and tore it away with all his might. The woman was startled, she didn't expect him to be so strong, and she didn't react for a while. His fingers were dripping with blood, and the white bones were almost exposed under the rolled flesh, and when the other party's hand was slightly released, he opened his mouth and bit down on her fingers.

He almost exerted all his strength, and the woman screamed in pain and threw him away, "Are you a dog!" She shouted angrily. Fang Yu opened his mouth bloodily and shouted, "Be careful! Before he finished speaking, he was kicked in the chest, flew out several meters away, and fell heavily to the ground.

Only then did Quelod realize that when he turned around, the dirty man naturally came into his field of vision. The latter stabbed at him like lightning with his dagger, and Quelod blocked him with a backhand, and the sword exchange let out a sharp tremble and sparked.

The druid wanted to attack again, but when Yokozato fired an arrow, his giant wolf companion reacted very quickly, and he jumped up and took the arrow down in one bite, and his upper and lower jaws were crushed together.

In the mist, Scapet stepped out with her longbow in hand, followed by the others—but there were very few, and all of them were wounded. Seeing the situation here, Scarpe rushed towards Fang Yuan with an arrow step. But the woman reacted faster, grabbing Fang Ou's hair first and pressing the cold dagger against his neck.

"This is your only alchemist, right?"

Scarpeth stopped for a moment. "I suggest you run away." She said to the woman with some seriousness.

The woman was about to say something when suddenly the ground shook slightly.

There was a waterlogged pothole not far from Fang Yuan, and he could see clearly, and a circle of ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the water that was as flat as a mirror.

The druid froze for a moment, soothing his giant wolf with one hand, and looked back into the forest.

Fang Yuan saw this opportunity, and suddenly said a word to the woman, he was so weak that his mouth opened and closed, but he just couldn't make a sound.

"What?" The woman was slightly stunned, lowered her head and looked at him suspiciously. "I said watch your eyes—" Fang Yu whispered, his right five fingers together, turning upwards like a swimming fish, and the silver rails on his gloves clicked and swayed. There was a soft buzz in the pocket of her jacket, and a golden light flew out and hit her eye sockets.

The woman screamed in pain and covered her eyes, and Fang Yu didn't want to break free of her and run towards Scarpae. "Damn it!" The woman was about to be angry, she chased after Fang Yuan with one hand over her eye socket and tried to grab the back of Fang Yuan's neck, but at this time, the ground suddenly shook violently.

It was as if there had been an earthquake, and the two of them fell to the ground in unison.

The druid, who was looking in the direction of the forest, finally changed his face, and he didn't know what he muttered; Probably only the woman heard this sentence clearly, her face changed miserably and she raised her head and asked, "How could that thing come here, isn't it still on the periphery of the ruins?" ”

The druid didn't say a word, but said to her, "Run!" ”

As he spoke, he took his giant wolf and disappeared into the forest without looking back.

Before Fang Yu could react, he just saw the woman get up a little nervously, and seemed to be planning to run away. But it was at this time that the ground of the forest suddenly began to shake violently, and everyone fell to the ground unsteadily.

"What the hell is going on?" Fang Yu couldn't help but ask in a hoarse voice.

"That's coming." Scarpe helped him up, and replied in a pale voice.

"The thing?"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard an exclamation.

The voice came from the same druid from before—

Everyone subconsciously looked in that direction, and then they were shocked. A shrill whistle sounded in the forest in the distance, and a huge shadow was emerging in the mist.

Fang Yu didn't know how to describe what he saw, the first thing he heard was a deafening roar, the squeaking of metals colliding with each other and gears snapping into each other, then the sharp sound of exhaust, and white smoke spewing out of the surface of the giant object, merging into the thick fog.

A constructed 'behemoth' gradually parted, and the mist appeared in front of everyone.

Fang Plover felt that it should be a millipede—a behemoth composed of countless gears, curly iron sheets, and metal limbs, and under the steel skeleton were countless reciprocating pistons, roaring regularly, driving countless limbs and feet to slash back and forth, like a sharp metal blade, propelling it forward and rapidly, and the towering ancient wood was as fragile as a toothpick under its huge body, and was knocked dry and broken.

A dense network of pipes stretched to the back of the beast, where dense exhaust flues protruded from under the carapace, forming a hideous and terrifying forest. Four pairs of compound eyes flashing with red light, like fog lights, pierced through the diffuse forest fog and fell on everyone present.

Fang Yu didn't know if this was a magic guide or not, but he had never seen a magic guide in this form.

The air around them seemed to get colder, and even the trees were covered with a thin layer of hoarfrost.

Suddenly, the beast raised its head and let out a long whimper—it was the roar of a whistle. It opened its mouthparts covered with toothed discs, and the Plover noticed a greasy sheet of fur hanging from its jaw, covered in blood, which seemed to be the same druid's clothing.

Underneath the mouthparts, there are three parallel spouts, on which there is a trace of white smoke. His face suddenly changed dramatically, and he shouted, "Get out of the way!" ”

But it was too late, and with a scream, three white frost arrows shot out as if they were sharp arrows. Only Scapet had time to roll forward, and the frost arrow swept through the crowd, leaving three or four ice sculptures behind.

Everyone couldn't help but feel their scalps explode, "Quick, hide inside the building!" Someone shouted, and everyone found that there was a remnant of the ruins not far behind them, and they hurriedly avoided it.

Scapet also picked up Fang Yu and walked in. Quelod walked at the rear, but it wasn't long before the silver-watered woman followed—the whole forest seemed to roar—and Fang Ou looked back and saw the billowing smoke rising behind him, and realized that the ghost had been chasing after him.

"What the hell is that?" Fang Yu couldn't help but be stunned, "...... Tara's Blade? ”

"If it had been Tara's Blade, the Rainbow Alliance would have been wiped out." Scapet smiled bitterly and teased bitterly. Then she couldn't help but curse again: "Those damn Grand Guild people must have known all this and only used us as cannon fodder." ”

When Quelod heard this, he suddenly slashed his sword and stopped in front of the silver-pierced woman: "Do you want to die or live?" ”

The woman looked at him like a madman and almost laughed angrily: "Are you crazy? Combined, you're no match for me! ”

"Indeed," Quilrod nodded, "but it's okay to drag you into the water." ”

The woman paused for a moment, looked back at the approaching billowing smoke, and couldn't help but stomp her foot angrily: "Okay, what do you want to do?" ”

"Tell us what it is, what exactly is this place, what are you looking for?" Quilrod replied succinctly.

"There's no time to say that much!" The woman shouted.

"We can talk as we go."

"Deal."

Quilrod then turned around and said to the few remaining members of the Dawnstar, "Leave two people to lead it away, and the others follow the group." ”

"Wait a minute," Fang Yu finally interjected, "you can't do that, this is the Dead Zone, Mr. Quelode." ”

Quilrod froze for a moment, and his face became extremely ugly. Silk Capet couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "The Jeffrey Redcoats raised by the son of a bitch, I already knew that they were uneasy and kind!" The others followed suit.

But after a moment, Quelod looked at the two men who had decided to stay. The two men, one warrior and the other wanderer, only nodded to him, and without saying a word, turned their heads in that direction.

Fang Yu looked at this scene with some surprise.

"It's not like we haven't fought in the Dead Zone," Scapet looked at him and whispered, "It's better to sacrifice two people than to stay all here, that's the team." And aren't you going to the Second World, I warn you - there is only a dead zone on the Continental Bridge. ”

Fang Yu couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"Say, what's that?" Only then did Quelod turn around and ask the woman.

"That's the Guardian, the crystallization of the wisdom of an ancient alchemist, the legacy of the Noumerin Elves to be exact."

"Your goal is to fight for this thing?"

"Unless we're crazy," the woman rolled her eyes, "Guardians are a class of ancient dragon knights, but their control crystals have been destroyed, and they only follow the last orders they get, attacking any creatures that get in the way of their orders." ”

"And what is its order?" Fang Yu couldn't help but ask.

"It's a guild secret, I can't tell you." The woman replied.

Quilrod glanced at her, but didn't force it.

And Fang Yu only began to feel pain at this time, and all the wounds on his body were painful, but the most intense was the sharp pain in his hand, which made him hum. "Bear with me," Scarpe said softly, looking at the woman in disgust.

The woman looked at her blood-stained dagger, and then at Fang Yuan's unsightly hands, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. "Don't blame me," she replied with some frustration, "I didn't want to do anything to a life profession, I just didn't expect him to be ...... like that."

Fang Yu glanced at the woman angrily.

But it was at this time that the crowd suddenly saw that the wanderer who had left earlier had run back again. With a look of horror on his face, he shouted to Quelod, "Commander, we can't get out of it!" ”

"What do you mean?" Quelod was stunned.

He immediately understood what he meant.

There was a loud bang, and a building not far away suddenly collapsed entirely. In the smoke and dust, the huge head of the giant insect appeared in that direction. I don't know if it's an illusion, Fang Yu always felt that this terrifying thing was like eight lampposts, and his eyes were focused on himself.

"What's going on?" Quelod apparently noticed this as well, and asked the woman in a whisper.

Who knew that the woman was even more dazed, and shook her head with a pale face and said, "I don't know, this thing usually never leaves the inner area of the ruins, and it seems to be crazy today......"

"Ed."

Fang Yu suddenly heard Silk Cape's voice calling him.

Glaring at his backpack, Scapet asked, "What's glowing in your backpack?" ”
