A faint light flickered in the forest, some small insects like fireflies fluttered, the shadows of the trees swayed, and the forest could occasionally see those incredibly tall giant trees, and the quiet hunting mountains were like a peaceful magical forest.

Hearing Suosuo's voice, Rod's tall figure lifted the broad leaves to reveal it.

There were three more figures behind him.

The person in the front, he has a full beard, that thick beard is also braided into small braids with a special technique, and the most special thing is that his height makes people want to laugh.

It was a dwarf.

The dwarves in the Shadowlands aren't as easy to get along with as their distant cousins on the surface.

Generally speaking, dwarves become adventurers in large part because of a passion for exploration, a zeal for justice, and a desire for greed. In the Shadowlands, the vast majority of dwarves are motivated to become adventurers by greed.

They are cunning and belligerent.

As long as their deeds are widely disseminated and revered or praised by others, they will gain the respect and status of the dwarven community.

This is a race that favors the evil order.

It is precisely because of their peculiar values that in the shadow realm behind, many irascible dwarves even run to challenge dragons and ancient evil creatures in order to gain status.

Compared to them, the surface dwarves, although they are also adventurous, but they have an intuitive distinction between good and evil, they hate those who conspire and evildoers, and their way to gain status is usually to forge magical weapons of great power in a relatively gentle way.

"Damn the devil's fruit, how can it grow in that kind of hellish place! How long have we been walking, two days? Or three days? I'm really fed up, and when we get the Devil's Fruit, I'm going to go to the tavern for three days and three nights! ”

The dwarven hammer carried his double-edged battle axe, which was even greater than his own, and shattered his thoughts as he went.

"Hammer, it's almost time to arrive, I advise you to shut your foul mouth!"

In the face of the irascible dwarves, Rhodes obviously didn't want to speak, and the barbarian Viku was not in the mood to speak, and it was the last person in the group to speak.

The man's words fell.

There was a hint of anger on Hammer's face, the irascible dwarf was a race that could do anything without saying a word, but his face hesitated for a moment, and finally endured it, and it seemed that Hammer was afraid of the person who spoke.

Rod glanced at the hammer, and then, with some fear, glanced at the last man in the group.

Centaur, Thunderbolt.

It was a burly centaur, with a muscular body that seemed to be full of strength, and a chain mail was draped in the upper half of his body, and what made Rod's eyes beat the most was a half-man-tall bow on his back.

Centaurs are natural marksmen.

The angry thunder in front of him, the material used for the strong bow on his back is not an ordinary material, and as a forger, Rhodes still has this eyesight. The strong bow on the back of the angry thunder is estimated to be mixed with some rare metals in the bow body, which looks very heavy, and the bowstring, Rod is not mistaken, should be made of tendons of a dragon species close to the legendary level.

"A barbarian ready to advance to the Earthwalker! A dwarf with the blood of the King of the Hill in his body, plus a centaur ready to advance to the Stormlord or Warlord...... This facelift is kind of interesting. ”

Rod thought to himself.

Rhodes, who has traveled almost all over the world of Ash, has a high level of experience.

Despite the fact that this hammer did not have the irascible and belligerent of a dwarf, his black beard and strange braid of his beard inadvertently revealed to Rhodes about the dwarf's identity.

It takes the blood of the king of the hill to make a black-haired dwarf.

And that strange beard braid is a sign that can only be used by beings of high status among the dwarves.

As for this furious thunder.

To be honest, Rod didn't see anything other than a bow.

But in Rod's memory, he remembered that there was a legendary Warlord to the east of Stormwind.

In this way, this team is afraid that it is a bit of a beginning.

The Hill Giant of Treborough [Rift], the Centaur War Lords to the east, and the Earthwalkers who guard Stormwind...... These inextricably linked links are put together, and as long as Rod is not stupid, he can guess that these people have extraordinary backgrounds.

……

The origins of these people have nothing to do with Rhodes, and he just wants to find out whether the so-called "black fog" is the "source of black fog" in his memory.

Black and White Secret Land is a wonderful place.

It is a strange place where the demonic power of the abyss and the divine power of the heavenly realm are intertwined, and if you want to enter the secret realm in the depths of the hunting mountain range, you must pass through the source of the black mist.

That kind of black fog is actually a manifestation of some leaked energy.

As for what the barbarian Viku called "the fruit of the devil".

That's a good thing.

Devil's Fruit.

This fruit, which can only be grown in a land where evil and divine forces are intertwined, has a wide range of uses, the most important being to make potions and sacrifices.

Making potions, it's not hard to understand.

The Demon Fruit contains a powerful evil power, a defiled ability that can be crafted into certain potions to restrain the divine power. In the chaos of the future, many gods will descend on the main plane of Ash.

Whether it's local NPCs or foreign players, there are some people who want to slaughter gods!

And the elixir that could defile the divine power and suppress the power of the heavenly realm was especially precious at that time.

Of course, it is not only a forbidden elixir, but it can also be made into a "strengthening potion" that enhances the power of demons, and it is an extremely rare material in terms of pharmacy.

And sacrifice is also one of its great uses.

The Demon Fruit contains power, which is undoubtedly a huge attraction for the demons who are constantly fighting in the abyss. Many people make deals with the devil, and this fruit is a more satisfying sacrifice.

Due to the high value of the Demon Fruit, its special growth environment limits its quantity.

The price of this fruit has remained high.

Especially in the Shadow Realm, this is a killing field for the pursuit of strength and profit, whether it is the power of demons or the divine power of the heavenly realm, the residents here do not mind where the power comes from.

…………

"It's here, huh?"

Just as Rhodes was thinking, Viku, who was walking in front, stopped.

He raised a hand to signal everyone to stop, then turned his head with an ugly face, and said in a very low tone: "Attention! Looks like someone has made the first move! ”

"Let's go! Touch it and take a look! I'm going to see if this group has what it takes to grab my prey! ”

The barbarians were never a reasonable race, and Viku would not be polite enough to watch others take away his prey, so he hunched over, pulled a huge battle axe from a ring in his left hand, and quietly touched it forward.

Hearing this, Rod also slowly pulled out the short sword at his waist, and followed Viku silently towards his destination.

In fact, Rhodes was not used to drawing his sword in advance.

As a former pinnacle of the swordsman's profession, Rhodes has always drawn his sword in battle.

Draw the sword!

This is a very clever swordsmanship, many times, the high-level swordsman's sword drawing technique is equivalent to the mage's large-scale killing spell, with the sword master's kind of "qi", a sword drawing technique can often cause a devastating effect.
