Campfires crackle at night, and the occasional spark jumps out in the rising to be accompanied by the stars in the forest—unknown creatures resembling fireflies, slowly wandering through the emerald forest that does not see the light of day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Since it had just rained the day before yesterday, and the shelter here is very tight, so the ground is a little wet in many places, and it is still difficult to find an open and dry place to camp. But in any case, tonight is in much better shape than last night.

Last night, when I camped, it took a lot of effort to light the campfire due to the lack of dry fuel. The flames that had been lit at the beginning carried a large amount of thick black smoke, which made several people scramble. It wasn't until the woman in the black cloak came over and slashed with a sword with the sound of the howling wind, knocking the entire fire to pieces, that she barely managed to prevent the embarrassing end of several people being choked to death. After this incident, Duan Qing also went to study the flammability of various plants in the Emerald Forest, and found that most of them were difficult to ignite, but this is all for later.

The woman ignored their thanks, walked to the side and sat down, took out a piece of hard bread from the package and nibbled on it, the little girl hesitated to go over again to thank her, trying to comfort the woman who seemed to be in a bad mood, but was stopped by Duan Qing.

"It's useless for you to say it in the past, she won't pay attention to you." Duan Qing said: "And...... She's not the kind of person who falls easily, either. ”

Although there are some losses and doubts, the little girl still has no past. The men set up their tents again and began to discuss the vigil while eating. Duan Qing was more interested in this, because he rarely saw the night in the wild in the free world, so he still volunteered a little.

A few big men would definitely not let the little girl do such a thing, so in the end, they were still on duty in turn, and for an hour or two alone, the night basically passed. The crowd talked about some topics related to the quest, about where the NPC went, what might happen, and the strange knock from before, the terrifying serpent...... In addition to palpitations, I am also a little curious.

It's a pity that I can't find it anymore, and it's not easy to mention the big war, and after thinking about it, there don't seem to be any other clues, so there are still not many things that can be discussed after all. Bored for a while, Ah Niu and the evil young man of Jicheng here each found a corner, and planned to rest like this-In the previous discussion, Duan Qing was guarding the first shift.

The tent was not big, but it was not very small, and it was planted near a large tree, and if you squeezed it, it would not be a problem to sleep three or four people in it. The location of Mengzhu is in the innermost place, where it is safer and the wind is not easy to leak in. The girl hesitated before entering, but turned and walked over to the black-cloaked figure sitting under the roots of a tree not far away, sitting there with his legs curled up, arms folded on his knees, and his head already on his knees.

"That ......" The girl's voice was still a little nervous: "Do you want to ......?"

"No thanks." The head of the cloak lifted slightly, and then the indifferent voice that belonged to the woman sounded.

"Uh......"

Mengzhu hesitated and did not leave, and was about to persuade something, but the woman finally raised her head completely, due to the obscuration of the cloak, Mengzhu could only see the part below her mouth, and in the reflection of the campfire, the white face and ruddy lips gave people an amazing beauty in perfect proportions.

But the girl did not notice this—the eyes hidden in the cloak were bright and cold, and the sight was as piercing as ice and snow, piercing the heart.

This experience made Mengzhu disgusted a lot with the woman called Xue Ling Phantom Ice for a while, and at the same time scared a lot. For a considerable period of time after that, the little girl was indignant when she mentioned this matter: "What is dragging, isn't it just a little higher......"

Of course, that's another story.

Of course, Duan Qing also noticed these interesting phenomena, but he ignored them. The little girl is a little kind in her heart, and she will definitely encounter more malice in the future, even compared to the previous incident in the hotel, this scene just now is good...... In any case, it never hurts to experience more of these things.

Thinking of this, Duan Qing looked at the black figure sitting by the tree again, the white stained armor peeked out from the gap between the corners of the black cloak, from this angle, he could also see a long object propped up horizontally in the middle of the cloak, and it was estimated that the woman's saber was placed horizontally on her lap. Noticing his gaze, the eyes hidden under the cloak, as if noticing that the warning didn't seem to work well for the apparently much older player, the gaze circled around again, then lowered it again.

It's hard for everyone to show your vigilance so obviously......

Duan Qing could probably understand the mood of that Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, but that was all. Due to his previous emotional injury, he has been looking at women very thoroughly recently, as if he suddenly jumped out of the chess game and became a chess viewer. But at this time, his interest is not on this, so understanding is one thing, and leaving it alone is another.

He walked over to a nearby piece of broken wood and sat down, then began to observe his surroundings.

The broken wood had been lying there for some time, and there were a lot of mosses and some strange plants like mushrooms growing on it, Duan Qing searched for a while, and finally found a place to sit. He sat on it, the light of the campfire shining from his side, casting shadows farther away, then being split into countless pieces by the sparse weeds and shrubs, and scattered into the dark night of the forest. He closed his eyes for a moment, then began to pay attention to the movement around him.

Surrounded by trees, the light of the campfire could not shine very far, and as far as the eye could see, all that could be seen was the trunks of the trees that could not be seen at a glance, and the various silhouettes that stretched from the ground to the trunks. Duan Qing looked left and right, but he didn't find anything that could catch his attention, he knew that night had just arrived, how could he see a monster so quickly, and if he really encountered it, he probably couldn't stop it.

In the original plan, the night watchman was simply responsible for calling everyone up when danger came, and then ...... Everyone run away as soon as possible.

In Duan Qing's mind, Mengzhu's warning expression was still vivid: "Don't alarm it if you see anything, because we have light here, and the monsters themselves won't come, they are afraid of light at night, just let it go away on its own...... If something really comes, wake up the person who is asleep, and then everyone hurry up and run, just use the torch to drive it away, and then it will be a battle of luck......"

The so-called luck is just hoping that when you run away, you won't run headlong into the arms of any beast's territory.

So this kind of night vigil doesn't have much meaning except for calling the police. It's actually okay if everyone goes to rest, but the memory of being killed in their sleep is still a little scared in their hearts. Not to mention that the team has a task in it, even if it is an ordinary adventure, such a process is a walk, and it is a very interesting experience in an immersive situation, and shout everyone up, and then resist, even if you die in the end, there is no regret, and you can also brag to others as a talking point after you go back.

If you think about it, except for those who are confident in their skills, only curious people like me would do this...... Duan Qing thought, and then glanced at the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice from a distance. In the silent night, the woman's figure was as quiet as water, perhaps because she felt that her posture was a little awkward, her long sword was also erected diagonally on the right side, above the black scabbard was a silver hilt, and there seemed to be some black cloth wrapped around the handshake, and a small strip of cloth was exposed, gently fluttering with the breeze from time to time, and there was a faint blue light on the silver gauntlet, and there seemed to be a few gems inlaid on it.

Her white left hand was clenched under the gauntlet.

Well, we also have a master, and we are so vigilant......

That night ended up peacefully, and Duan Qing didn't see any creatures during the vigil - much to his disappointment—but the evil young man of Jicheng was excited when he got up early in the morning, and showed off to everyone that he had seen a few wolves passing far away.

Because it is too far away, it is not very clear that the evil is not very clear. But that wasn't enough to make him talk less, because according to him, the eyes of the "wolves" impressed him.

"The eyes of those wolves are shining! Red, green, blue...... Anyway, there are all kinds of lights, and it looks so weird......"

Several people were very curious, and hurriedly asked what was going on, but the evil young man was hesitant and didn't say a word or two for a long time. That Ah Niu is usually a fool, but he doesn't fool people, and he hasn't played games for a few days, so naturally he doesn't know whether to believe or question. Instead, Mengzhu introduced some of the information she knew: "I...... Our previous team, we still encountered these creatures, they were very powerful, we also fought at that time, and a lot of people died......"

"Actually, there are a lot of monsters at night, and they are the same thing as monsters during the day, but they become very powerful at night, and I don't know why they ......"

The girl said this with a crying voice: "Woo...... I'm not trying to hide it, it's just ...... If we do, we're going to die...... They also cast magic ......"

"Okay, okay, everyone won't blame you, it's not a big deal......"

"That's right, like you said, what can you do if you know, if you encounter it, you still die."

"In this way, we are really lucky, ahhahahaha......"

"Demonic creatures."

In the midst of the gossip of comfort, four words suddenly sounded. A few people looked over there, and the person who spoke was the woman in the cloak.

Those four words seemed to have a magical power, and for a moment the sound of discussion, comfort and crying stopped. In Ah Niu's dazed expression, Mengzhu and Jicheng Evil Shao glanced at each other, a little surprised in their hearts, and Duan Qing, who was "shameless to ask", came to the woman's side at this time: "Oh? What is a demonized creature, let's talk about it. ”

The other party gave him an indifferent look, ignored it, and walked to the side without any explanation at all. Duan Qing asked for a long time, and saw that the other party really didn't want to explain to him, so he had to wave his hand to the others and give up.

After the small intermission theater had passed, the team searched for another day in the forest, but progress was almost zero. After those four words, the woman in the cloak barely said anything except to maintain the necessary communication. When Duan Qing occasionally observed, the woman tilted her head to the side, her eyes wandering and she didn't know what she was thinking. Sometimes she would also notice the other person's gaze, and only after he turned back did the woman look at the man who had just peeked at him, her eyes indifferent.

Hmph, I don't know how many such men I have seen, and I always think that if I peek, I won't be discovered......

After searching aimlessly, talking endlessly, things finally began to change when the next night, when the unsuccessful crowd was ready to find a place to camp again.

"What the hell do you guys ...... Who are you looking for? Xue Ling, who was sitting by the big tree as usual, suddenly asked.

"Aha, that ......," Duan Qing responded.

As the god of the current small team, she feels that she has to do something, although she is a wild man who joined temporarily, and she is not familiar with the relationship with other people, but on the Internet, how many people who play games and temporarily form a team know each other......

But the point is that I watched coldly all day, and found that these people in the team are not very reliable characters, except for the person who seems to be an old player, the other two men are novices at first glance, and the girl named Mengzhu has some experience, but the strength is too far behind...... Their experience in the field is extremely poor, and their protection at night is almost zero, and thanks to their own vigilance last night, there is finally no monster similar to the giant snake to find them...... They say they are looking for people, but they don't plan their actions during the day, but they talk about those professional gamers all day long, and sometimes they even find themselves going around in circles......

If they don't make any more moves, even if they don't encounter danger, these people will probably starve to death here.

Jicheng Evil Shao and Liu Qingniu were helping to nail the wooden sticks used to fix the tent on the side, while Mengzhu was standing on the side and directing. She also heard the woman's question, but considering the look that the woman gave her last night, the girl planned to ignore her and let the bad uncle who had already walked over deal with it.

"Aha, that ...... The big master finally wants to help us, congratulations, congratulations......" Duan Qing walked up with a look of surprise.

Looks like you've been counting on me to help, right, you don't even know who I am...... The woman secretly gritted her teeth, but her face was expressionless: "Then tell me about the person's origin, appearance, and the clues you basically have......"

Duan Qing simply sat cross-legged beside the woman, but he found that she leaned towards the other side very secretly, so he had to smile casually, maintaining a superficial harmony: "That person's name is Trick, Trick?" Ozich, the father of a boy, doesn't know what he looks like, but his profession should be a forest ranger......"

"Forest rangers? Haven't heard of ......."

"Probably the people who protect the forest, and occasionally give some necessary assistance to those who want to enter the forest......

In the midst of the repeated discussions, Xue Lingphantom Ice finally understood the current situation, she frowned and thought for a while, as if she had encountered something difficult to choose, and then said hesitantly: "In other words, you didn't have any clues, so you helped that child find his father?" ”

She pointed around: "In this ...... In the forest? ”

Duan Qing understood what she meant, and shrugged helplessly: "We did have some plans at the beginning, but because of ...... For some reason, it turned out to be like this. But don't worry, we still have confidence, although it's a big ...... Uh, it's too big......"

In Duan Qing's idle talk, Xue Lingphantom Bing's eyes widened, and she couldn't imagine what she had heard.

Her guild mobilized so many manpower and made so many preparations for the sake of the ordinary ruins in the forest, and also brought an elite team to be responsible for exploration, although the cold reality made her understand that they still underestimated this strange place, but .......

These people were almost unprepared, and just rushed headlong into the same place, and ...... Saved myself!

Duan Qing looked at the glazed woman in front of him, thinking to himself why this woman liked to travel so much...... Then it was found that the woman looked at herself with a strange eye, like looking at a madman.

"Uh, what's wrong......."

The woman took a breath, as if she had used a lot of concentration to calm herself, and then asked again, "You, you ...... A player born in Greenstone Village, right? ”

"yes, what's wrong."

"No, it's nothing...... Xue Lingphantice didn't ask, and a flash of light suddenly flashed through her mind.

Maybe that's how people here come here to take risks, they don't need to prepare, they're used to it......

This forest is so weird, not long after his people entered the forest, the monster they encountered was so powerful, even if the president led the team to come in person, it is estimated that there will be no benefit under the hands of that monster...... And today, although the day was muddy, in retrospect, there was almost no danger......

In the previous information given to him by the Infinite Phantom God, this was not mentioned, considering their place of birth, or their rank......

Linking these together, it is inferred that the only difference between my team is that the level is too high......

Could it be that this forest, or that ruins, had some strange defensive measures, and what countermeasures were used against a strong person like her, that giant snake-like monster appeared?

Thoughts flashed through her mind like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, they had turned back and forth for an unknown number of times. The woman looked up and began to ask again, but this time there was a hint of a smile on her face: "You guys...... Well, do you often go in and out of this forest, and how much do you know about it......"

A look of surprise flashed from Duan Qing's eyes, and the Q&A finally proceeded like this. After the matter was understood and several people began to have dinner together, the woman subconsciously pulled the front of the hood, frowned and thought.

It seems that things are really likely to turn around, as long as you make good use of these people in front of you......

On the other side, Mengzhu bit a large cake and asked vaguely, "What did that woman talk to you about just now?" ”

"What else can it be, there is nothing to hide from those situations where we are looking for people.......

In the girl's puzzled gaze, Duan Qing roughly described the general content of the conversation just now, and said that this potential master wanted to help them.

"Steady! With such a master to help us, our task is not to catch it hand-to-hand......" Ah Niu waved his arm, very excited. The evil young man on the side had the same doubts as the girl, but when he spoke, he looked at Duan Qing with an ambiguous expression: "But he was so indifferent to us before, and now he says he wants to help us, isn't it ......?"

The direction of the doubt was obviously different.

"Hey, don't look at me like that, the woman over there just looked at me like she was looking at a madman, and now you look like you're looking at a concubine......"

"When I say this, I also think ...... I also feel ......" Thinking back to what she secretly observed during this day, the two looked at each other from time to time, and the girl's expression became more and more excited: "She won't be ...... Got a crush on you, right? ”

With a "snap", Duan Qing covered his face with one hand.

"What are you all thinking......"

In the unanimous condemnation of everyone, Duan Qing smiled helplessly, denying this baseless accusation on the surface, and secretly looked at the woman in the corner.

That beautiful face kept smiling, and looked at the fight here, as if it was very interested.

So he turned his head again, waving his hand in a cold sweat to face the righteous and awe-inspiring criticism of everyone, but the idea in his heart was more certain.

This woman ......
