There was a whirring wind in their ears, and Zhao Sen and Qin Ni, who were wrapped in wild goatskins, were tightly grasped by the sharp claws of the giant blood bird. The giant bloodbird led them up to the top of the cliff.

The "air crash" that Zhao Sen was worried about did not happen, although the combined weight of him and Qin Ni exceeded 1 kilogram, but this little weight was a drizzle for the infinitely powerful giant blood bird!

After about two or three minutes, Zhao Sen felt that their ascent had slowed down. After a few more seconds, the giant blood bird's claws loosened, and Zhao Sen and Qin Ni suddenly fell from mid-air!

This sudden change shocked Zhao Sen's heart.

Finished...... Falling from such a high place, he and Qin Ni will both die this time.

"Poof!" Without waiting for Zhao Sen to think about it, he and Qin Ni had already fallen heavily to the ground.

Since Zhao Sen was under Qin Ni on top, he didn't feel anything about Qin Ni when he fell hard, but Zhao Sen was thrown with a gold star in his eyes and grinned his teeth

At this moment, there was another sharp birdsong in mid-air. Zhao Sen looked out through the gap in the wild goatskin, and saw that the giant blood bird that had grabbed them had flapped its wings and flown away.

"Hoo ——!" Lifting the covered wild goatskin, Zhao Sen let out a sigh of relief.

Qin Ni, who had been closing her eyes and pressing her face against Zhao Sen's chest at the moment, also opened her eyes, and when she saw that she had landed, she immediately turned her head excitedly and raised her face.

"Hmm......" At this moment, Zhao Sen just lowered his head, and Qin Ni and his lips suddenly touched together.

……

An electric shock-like sensation spread from his lips to his whole body, and the bodies of the two instantly froze, as if time had stopped at this moment.

After a full five seconds, it wasn't until a "chirping" sound sounded from behind the two of them that Zhao Sen and Qin Ni's bodies re-moved as if they had broken free.

Qin Ni's pretty face flushed, and she was embarrassed to bury her head deep in Zhao Sen's arms again. After Zhao Sen's face turned red, he quickly pulled out his arm from the wild goatskin and untied the rope that bound them.

Untied the rope, Zhao Sen lifted the wild goatskin with three or two strokes, and Qin Ni also got up from him. The two of them stood up, and saw that they were in a huge bird's nest at the moment, and in front of them, there were five or six blood-fed chicks the size of penguins.

The chicks were staring at Zhao Sen and Qin Ni curiously with big black eyes, and one of the bold chicks stumbled to Qin Ni's feet and gently pecked her boots with her black beak.

"Wow! It's so cute! Seeing this group of cute blood bird chicks, Qin Ni immediately let out a cheer. She squatted down and reached out to touch the hairy head of the blood bird chick, and the fledgling seemed to like Qin Ni very much, and it immediately closed its eyes with an expression of enjoyment.

Seeing that Zhao Sen and Qin Ni had no ill will towards them, the other chicks immediately swarmed up and surrounded Qin Ni who was squatting, chattering non-stop with their small mouths open.

Qin Ni has always liked small animals, and she giggled happily when she saw so many cute chicks surrounding her. I saw her reach out and touch the head of the chick, and touch the little wings of the chick, happy like a lovely angel.

"They're hungry, aren't they? Do you have anything to feed them? Qin Ni turned her head to Zhao Sen and asked.

Zhao Sen didn't say a word, and immediately took out the two skinned wild goats from his backpack and threw them to the chicks.

"Eat, it's like paying for your mother's 'plane ticket'." Zhao Sen said to the chicks with a smile. With that, he took out another bundle of rope from his backpack.

A sharp claw was tied to one end of the bundle of ropes, and Zhao Sen walked to the edge of the bird's nest with the claw.

He had already observed the surroundings, and the nest was still about twenty meters away from the top of the cliff. For the rest of the distance, he and Qin Ni had to climb up on their own.

"Whoosh!" Zhao Sen shook his hand, and the flying claw tied to the rope suddenly flew up towards the top of the cliff.

"Ding!" The claws accurately grasped a large, angular rock at the top of the cliff. Zhao Sen tugged on the rope, and the flying claws grasped it very steadily.

"I'll climb up first, and then I'll drag you up." Zhao Sen said to Qin Ni.

"Hmm!" Qin Ni, who was having a lot of fun with the chicks, smiled and nodded to Zhao Sen.

Zhao Sen's freehand rock climbing is a piece of cake, not to mention that there is a rope as an aid. In a few moments, he had reached the top of the cliff like a monkey.

"Qin Ni, tie your body around your waist, and I'll drag you up!" Zhao Sen shouted at Qin Ni in the bird's nest.

Qin Ni stood up and was about to tie the rope, who knew that the chicks didn't eat wild goat meat anymore, and they all looked at Qin Ni with blank eyes.

"You guys! I'll come back to see you when you're older! Qin Ni smiled and touched the heads of the chicks one by one.

Who knew that the chicks were crowded to Qin Ni's feet one by one, especially the bold chick, which was biting the corner of Qin Ni's skirt tightly with its beak at the moment, with a look of reluctance.

"This ......" Looking at the poor chicks, Qin Ni's heart suddenly softened.

"Zhao Sen, can we take these chicks away?" Qin Ni looked up at Zhao Sen and asked.

"Uh...... I'm afraid this won't work, these chicks are still young, and it may be difficult for them to survive after leaving the mother. Zhao Sen replied embarrassedly.

After listening to Zhao Sen's words, although Qin Ni was a little reluctant to the chicks, she could only listen to Zhao Sen for the sake of the chicks' survival.

Under the reluctant gaze of the chicks, Qin Ni tied the rope tightly around her waist. Zhao Sen at the top of the cliff competed with his arms and pulled her to the top of the cliff little by little.

When Zhao Sen and Qin Ni stood still on the top of the cliff, they were all stunned by the scene in front of them.

I saw that the area of the top of the cliff is very large, the towering ancient trees are lush and green, the grass under the trees is full of beautiful wildflowers, the white clouds in the woods faintly come one or two beautiful birdsong, a clear spring flows from the depths of the woods, flows through the grass zigzag, and flows straight down from the top of the cliff. Under the sun, a beautiful rainbow appeared on the cliffside.

Raising his eyes to look into the depths of the woods, Zhao Sen saw a glorious light mask shining, and in that light cover, he could faintly see houses with blue tiles and white walls.

"It's so beautiful! It's like a wonderland on earth! Looking at the beautiful scenery on the top of the cliff, Qin Ni couldn't help but cover her mouth and praise.

After the two of them enjoyed the picturesque scenery for a while, Zhao Sen gently took Qin Ni's hand.

Now the two can not only hold hands and hug, but also kiss from time to time.

Stepping on the soft grass, Zhao Sen and Qin Ni walked hand in hand towards the light mask deep in the woods. It was supposed to be the village of West Rutherford mentioned in their quest chain.

Zhao Sen and Qin Ni stopped when they walked about 3 meters away from the mask.

Although there is a calm and laid-back atmosphere here, this is only a superficial phenomenon. Zhao Sen didn't want to be careless and bury this hard-won task chain.

"Qin Ni, you wait for me here first, and I'll sneak over to see the situation first." Zhao Sen said to Qin Ni.

"Hmm." Qin Ni nodded obediently in agreement, and then raised her staff to brush a magic shield for Zhao Sen.

Although the armor value increased by Qin Ni's defensive skill was not as good as the armor on his body, Zhao Sen felt indescribably warm in his heart.

Clicking on the sneak, Zhao Sen disappeared in front of Qin Ni's eyes, and he bent his waist and cautiously touched in the direction of the light mask.

Walking through a small forest that was not too dense, Zhao Sen had already come to the side of the light mask.

I saw a layer of multicolored light mask as thin as a cicada's wings appear within Zhao Sen's reach. Through this layer of light cover, Zhao Sen could clearly see the houses, small streets and villagers walking inside.

"This mask doesn't look special." Zhao Sen thought to himself. He couldn't help but reach out and touch the mask.

Who knew that when Zhao Sen's palm touched this light mask, his hand actually passed through without any obstruction!

This...... What's the situation?

In Zhao Sen's memory, these light masks that play a sealing role in the Daoless world are generally isolated from the inside and outside, if you want to enter, players must have special props or spells or something, but this light mask in front of Zhao Sen can pass through at will, this is not scientific!

To be on the safe side, Zhao Sen decided to try a few more times. He slowly slipped one of his arms into the reticle.

It's okay!

Then Zhao Sen got into it, and a few seconds later he came out of the mask again.

Still fine!

Now Zhao Sen was completely relieved, and he said to Qin Ni in the voice of the team:

"Come here, there's no danger."

After a while, Qin Ni also came to Zhao Sen's side.

The two of them joined hands and slipped into the multicolored dome together.

Just after the two of their bodies were completely inside the light mask, a task prompt popped up in the task panel of the two of them at the same time.

"Dear adventurers, congratulations on completing the first step of the 'Rutherford's Fall' quest chain! Quest Progress 2: Investigate this cursed village, and perhaps you can find hints for the next mission. ”

"This ...... That's it? Zhao Sen scratched the back of his head and was speechless.

"Well, it looks like we're going to have to stay in this village for a while." Qin Ni pouted helplessly and sighed.

At this time, on the small street not far away, several young women with laundry tubs saw Zhao Sen and Qin Ni.

"How did you get in?" The young women, who had just returned from laundry by the stream, looked at the two of them in surprise and asked.

"That's how I came in." Zhao Sen shrugged his shoulders and replied, pointing to the light mask behind him.

"Oh my God!" Several young women covered their mouths and exclaimed. The laundry tub they were holding in their hands fell to the ground, and the washed clothes were scattered all over the floor.

"Tell the wizard!" Several young women ran towards the village without looking back, leaving only the inexplicable Zhao Sen and Qin Ni.

It didn't take much effort for a large group of young villagers to hurriedly walk out of the village surrounded by a gray-haired old man.

"Wizard, those two strangers are over there!" A young woman beside the old man pointed in the direction where Zhao Sen and Qin Ni were.

Seeing so many villagers popping up all at once, Qin Ni suddenly became a little nervous, she clenched the staff in her hand and asked Zhao Sen worriedly:

"What to do? To fight or not to fight? ”

Zhao Sen looked at the villagers who were getting closer and closer, and frowned:

"Don't worry, let's see the situation, I don't think they seem to have any malicious intent. But we can't take it lightly, and if they get into trouble later, we'll run outside the mask, and they can't seem to go through the mask like we do. ”

"Hmm. I listen to you. Qin Ni nodded solemnly.

The two of them stared at the group of villagers as they got closer and closer.

When the white-haired old man walked up to Zhao Sen and Qin Ni, he raised his hand and stopped, and the other villagers also stopped. They looked at Zhao Sen and Qin Ni with surprised, confused, and vigilant eyes.

"You're adventurers?" The white-haired old man asked Zhao Sen in a deep voice.
