According to the agreement between Finn and Randolph, the command of the Sideburns Adventure was temporarily in the hands of the young paladin, so Randolph always had to ask his opinion first when he needed to give orders to the group.

Even if the bald man is still the leader of the adventure party in name, the agreement is the agreement, and if no one abides by it, it will be messed up, and the cooperation between the young man and the adventure party leader will become empty talk.

Randolph consulted Fein on the choice of a camping site for the team.

Some of the members of the group thought that it would be enough to set up a temporary camp on the side of the road, but others thought that it would be difficult to hide the camp on the side of the road and that they might be attacked by bandits at night, so they thought that the camp should be in the woods.

Randolph himself thought that the party's camp at night should be built on the side of the road, and after hearing Randolph's question, he asked the leader of the expedition group what he thought, and then agreed with the bald man's opinion, and told the adventurers of the sideburns to set up their tents on the side of the road at night.

The reason he did this was not that he felt that the idea of putting the camp in the woods was too much, but that he knew that the creatures that would actively attack passers-by in the dagger jungle were nothing more than gray wolves around level 4 or bandits around level 5, and these two enemies were not necessary for him to deliberately guard against now.

……

All in all, as time passed, the clear light in the sky of the dagger jungle unconsciously changed back to a night sky dotted with the moon and stars.

When night fell, Finn and Randolph's team had only covered two-thirds of the way the young man had planned, as the leader of the Sideburns Adventure had estimated, so the adventurers had to pitch their tents in the depths of the forest, and pick up some wood from the surrounding area to build two campfires, and set up a small makeshift camp in the dagger forest.

The adventurer scouts had rested after a hard day's work, Lilith slept in the same tent as the elven girl in the company of Arya, the paladin boy was a little reluctant to live with the young doctor Sheen, and Camussa insisted on keeping the first shift of the night with the rest of the sideburns adventurers. Finn now took advantage of the free time when no one disturbed him to bring a stone to a campfire in the camp and sit down, and by the light of the fire he took out an old crumpled roll of parchment from the empty pocket he had carried with him, and then pulled one side of the parchment with his hand, and slowly unfolded it in front of him.

The old parchment that the young man sat by the campfire and slowly unfolded with his hands was a map of the jungle that he and Randolph had bought before they set out for an old hunter in a logging village.

Due to the location of the dagger forest, which was hated by the merchants, several small caravans of small caravans along the lower Bernux tried to cross the forest and go straight to the Golantian Plain in the north of the kingdom every year, and some of the hunters living in the logging village saw this business opportunity and wisely dropped their bows and knives and settled in the village to sell maps, and the annual sales were not bad, and the rewards of selling maps were more nourishing than the days when they often had to risk their lives to go out hunting.

Finn looked at the parchment map in his hand, the light of the campfire shining through the back of the map, making the paper reddened slightly, and causing the two brown eyes in the young man's sockets to always have a faint burning sensation. Sometimes when he comes back from his thoughts, he feels that his eyeballs are itchy, and he can't help but raise his hand to rub it.

After rubbing his eyelids through his eyelids, he stretched his finger out on the map and pointed to himself, picking up the thoughts he had just interrupted and continuing to think about something.

The main forest area of the Dagger Jungle was a wild area suitable for level 3 to 6 players to level up and do quests before the outbreak of the Demon Tide War, as long as you don't have a brain cramp and run to the swamp in the eastern part of the jungle to provoke a tribe of lizardmen who have settled there, or run to the small monastery in the forest with the determination to die to trouble the old witch Barthra and Nightblade Vercidis, then the monsters you will face are mainly beasts and bandits in the woods, except for a few quest bosses.

The beasts of the woods are mainly found at night, and the species is dominated by a wild wolf with gray sideburns, with an average level of only about 4. Bandits who sometimes appear in the jungle are always in groups. However, the average level is only around level 5, and these potential enemies are not a headache.

In addition, what players also need to pay attention to in the dagger jungle is a wild boss known as a rookie killer. and a quest chain rumor about the soul of Perometheus.

The wild boss known as the rookie killer is an alchemical creature named "Loser", suitable for level 12 to 16 players to challenge in a team, and the spawn location is located in a forest basin a little west in the middle of the Dagger Forest.

Players don't know where it came from, and the game's official background is ambiguous. Just mentioning its identity, as its name suggests, is a failed product created by alchemy.

The "loser" in the game is not a belligerent field boss, unless you actively step into the "loser" warning range. The alchemy creature would theoretically not actively attack players and NPCs in the Dagger Forest, and in short, as long as Fein didn't provoke it, it wouldn't suddenly wake up from a long slumber and go crazy.

After all, the young man just wanted to get out of this ancient jungle as soon as possible, and the most important thing on his hand now was to go to the Scorpion Valley as soon as possible to obtain the obsidian codex.

Some of the side quests in the Dagger Forest were tempting in the early game, but he didn't think a side quest was worth as much as the legacy that the half-elven Witch King White had left to the Fourth Age from the Third Age.

Therefore, regarding the rumored task chain of the Moon Sword Saint Perometheus, he didn't plan to deal with it for the time being, regardless of whether it was true or not, because he was in a hurry.

"Aren't you going to rest yet, diligent Mr. Paladin?"

In a mental sudden, Finn heard Camusha's voice with a little playfulness in his ears, and then he withdrew his attention from his thoughts and turned to look behind him, and found that the silver-haired dark elf girl was already standing behind him at some point.

"Camus?" He looked up into the eyes of the dark elf girl, "Aren't you keeping vigil?" ”

"My shift is over, and the people from the Sideburns Adventure Group have just changed shifts with me." The Dark Elf Maiden shrugged, smiled idly, and walked past Fein to sit cross-legged on the other side of the campfire.

Finn watched in amazement as the elven relative from the underworld sat down beside him.

He was stunned, and suddenly realized that this was the first time since they met at Hurengel that the two of them had been alone without anyone else disturbing them.

“…… Let's be serious. Camussa looked at the burning wood in the campfire for a few seconds, then turned her head to Finn to provoke the topic, "Do you think your plan is reliable?" ”

"What do you mean?" Finn put down the parchment map in his hand and looked at her calmly, but with a guard in his heart.

Ever since she had been separated from Arroyo and Raymond on the lakeside outside Hurenger, Arya had repeatedly expressed distrust of Camusa on his journey.

Finn knew that Arya was not the kind of person who would be vexatious because of a little jealousy or prejudice, and Miss Elf knew that the Dark Elf Girl was rejecting her, but he didn't want to get into trouble with Camussa too quickly, after all, the Dark Elf Girl still maintained a companionship with him on the surface, and he was also a second-order professional, and a conflict between the two sides would seriously slow down the progress of his plan.

After the words of the holy warrior youth came out, the dark elf girl who advanced to the shadow attendant profession tilted her head with a mysterious smile and was silent, as if she had just discovered that Finn was thinking about something again, and tried to test him casually to see if she could come up with any unexpected information.

Suddenly, Camussa's smile froze on her face.

The dark elven girl's eyes turned vigilantly in one direction toward the edge of the camp, and a hand casually placed on her knee drew a dagger from a strap on her thigh and threw it over without warning.

"Whew-"

The dagger whizzed like an arrow into the woods at the edge of the camp, and a beastly wail came from that direction. (To be continued.) )
