The Sennuma District, to the north, has explored the edge of the area.

Slightly shorter than a normal adult, but as strong as Ted, Tate, known as a 'behemoth', was carrying a log more than a foot in diameter and ten feet in length toward the hillside in the distance.

"It should be nearby! How could it be useless? ”

Dressed like a noble butler in the Thousand Swamp District, Feribbe was unusually eye-catching, and after whispering to himself at this moment, he had a feeling of chatter; Even Tate, who had been with him for a long time, couldn't help frowning, holding the log on his shoulder with one hand, and patting Felibe hard with the other.

Syllable!

With a crisp sound, the thin Felibe rushed forward a few steps and almost fell to the ground; Turning his head, he looked at Tate dissatisfied, and said loudly, "What for?" ”

"What for?"

Tate slammed the log to the ground, and then looked at Feribel angrily: "What else do I want to ask you for!" Early in the morning, God mysteriously pulled me here, today's exploration of the ruins is about to begin, if you don't say anything, I'll go back to help Jacob continue to explore the ruins! ”

"What's the point of exploring the ruins? I've got even more fun here! Felibe grabbed Tate, who was leaving, and looked at the other party's face full of disbelief, and then said mysteriously: "Do you remember that I came out alone the afternoon before yesterday, and then went back very late?" ”

"Someone seems to be lazy like this every day!"

"The day before yesterday, the day before yesterday. That time was special! Special! ”

Feribel is under Tate's 'debunking'. His face turned red - Felibe, who had been taken by Jacob to the Sennuma District to act as a messenger between Jacob and the Witcher's headquarters, because of a bet. There are no complaints about this; Whether it is admitting defeat or having a good relationship with Jacob, he will not take it seriously; However, in the face of the boring life of exploring ruins in the Sennuma area, Felibe is a little difficult to accept.

In particular, his friend Jacob has devoted himself to his 'work' every day, and the people in the vicinity of the ruins, whether they are witchers or natives of Sennuma District. Even more so that Feribel didn't even have a person to talk to—so, after holding on for a while, Feribel began to amuse himself; First, start by exploring the ruins, explore the terrain around, and then follow the example of the locals, setting traps everywhere, hunting some animals, and improving the food for the people.

Jacob, who knew his friend's personality well, just smiled, and didn't have any intention of interfering at all - after all. At the beginning, he pulled the other party to this ruin in the Sennuma District in order to contact the Demon Hunter Headquarters and transport some important items conveniently; As for the rest? Jacob didn't dare think about it; He knows the truth. If Feribel were to explore the ruins, it would not be exploration, but destruction.

Exploring the ruins in its entirety has always been Jacob's philosophy, especially when he can, he will protect the ruins that can be protected - 'Treasure Witcher' is Jacob's title, but Jacob prefers the title of 'Ruins Witcher'.

And after Jacob's indulgence, Feribel did not know where to burrow until after dark except for breakfast with the others in the morning, and did not return to the camp until after dark—and as time went on, the 'souvenirs' in Feribe's tent became more and more numorous, with glittering stones, beautiful flowers, and some amber that is common in the Thousand Ponds......

"Special, just because you didn't find the right thing to decorate your tent?" Tate thought of the glittering tent in the camp and couldn't help but laugh: "Do you know that your tent always reminds me of the courting birds in my hometown!" ”

"Courtship, courtship?"

Felibe stuttered a little.

"What? Don't you know the way? Tate didn't estimate Felibe's thoughts at all, and said straightforwardly: "I thought you knew the truth, and now the entire exploration team is rumoring that you have reached the 'courtship period', but how big does it have to be a bird to match you?" Tsk, the eagles can't do it! ”

"Ahh You bastard Tate! ”

When Feribel heard the joke of pairing himself with the bird, he immediately jumped up.

"Isn't it? Every day, I know that I find something shiny to decorate my tent, what is the difference between this and those courting birds? Ignoring the teeth and claws rushing towards him, Tate was serious.

"Absolutely! I'm just for a hobby! ”

"The same goes for the courting birds!"

Compared with Felibe's justification, Tate is equally right; Even more determined than Feribé - with his hands on his shoulders, as if I had identified himself.

"I, I ......"

Feribel opened his mouth to explain, but never came up with a convincing explanation.

"Alright, I'm going back to the ruins! Jacob can't live without people! ”

Looking at this appearance of Felibe, Tate beckoned to Feribel with a triumphant smile, turned around and walked towards the campsite - but the moment he turned around, a wind suddenly sounded from behind him, and with the sharp pain in the back of his head, and Feribe's exclamation, he lost consciousness.

"By the time I woke up, I was in my tent!" Tate rubbed the bruise on the back of his head, a painful tooth, and then his voice was low: "Jacob has found me, but not Felibe!" ”

"Are you sure it's not a Feribel joke?"

Ye Qi, who was sitting opposite Tate, asked with a frown - this morning, Ye Qi had been on the road for a day and two nights, and finally came to the ruin that Jacob had explored; However, as soon as he entered the ruins, he received bad news; Tate is attacked, and Felibe, one of the guardians of the Tower of the Moonlit Night, goes missing.

And Jacob had to temporarily stop the search for the ruins to find the missing Felibe, for the witchers compared to the exploration of the ruins. Undoubtedly, the whereabouts of friends are more important; Therefore. When following the map, Ye Qi found the entire site of the Ruins Exploration Team's camp. In addition to the necessary guards and Tate, Jacob and the others had already set off to find Felibe.

"Although Feribel likes to joke, he will never make such a bad joke!"

Pointing to the bruise on the back of his head, Tate's expression was very serious - Ye Qi saw very clearly that the bruise was located under the skull and belonged to the extremely fragile part of the skull, so even Tate, who was a moonlight-level apostle, would be attacked and fainted; Of course. Fortunately, it was Tate, a moonlight-level apostle, if it was an ordinary person, he would have lost his breath at this moment; Looking at the extent to which the moonlight-level apostle was still swollen after a day, Ye Qi was convinced of this.

What a hassle!

Ye Qi's eyes couldn't help narrowing, and after bidding farewell to everyone in the bazaar, he set off that night towards the ruins where Jacob was - since he had deduced that what the Holy See wanted was very likely to be in the ruins he was exploring, then Ye Qi naturally would not sit at the door of the ruins and wait for the other party to knock on the door; The most correct way is to take what the other party wants in advance; So, on the way to come. Ye Qi had already devised several methods on how to obtain the unknown thing in advance.

After all, compared to the average explorer who worries about traps. In terms of gradual exploration, Ye Qi, who has the perception of blind fighting, can completely reach a speed that is unimaginable to others - and after removing those magic traps, mechanical traps alone still cannot pose a threat to Ye Qi; Therefore, Ye Qi was confident enough to take away what the Holy See might be looking for in the ruins before the people of the Holy See arrived.

But now these plans that have been designated have all died - ignoring the disappearance of Felibe, leaving aside the people who are looking for them, and entering the ruins alone, Ye Qi is not able to do such a thing; Although the strange wolf commented that this behavior was 'self-deception and hypocrisy', Ye Qi still couldn't do anything to break through the bottom line;

And in order to prevent such a 'bad habit' from appearing on him and finally pulling him into that desperate situation, Ye Qi chose the most correct thing very rationally - he must find Felibe as soon as possible, and then explore the ruins before the Holy See comes!

"Where is the area where you and Feribey went?" Ye Qi asked directly.

"It's not far from the camp, only half an hour away!" When Tate heard Ye Qi's words, he immediately jumped up from the ground and walked directly to the outside of the tent: "I'll show you the way!" ”

"A wound to the back of your head?"

"I was a little dizzy in the morning, but now it's totally fine! After all, I'm also a true Moonlight-level apostle! Tate waved his hand indifferently, and then greeted the two witchers who stayed in the camp, and under the respectful gaze of the two witchers, Ye Qi followed Tate towards the place where Feribey had disappeared.

……

The roads in the Sennuma District are 'rugged' and world-famous, and Ye Qi, who has been in the Sennuma District for a short time, also knows this, except for the vicinity of the market that is connected to the outside world, there are basically no roads in other places, and they are completely replaced by bushes, swamps and other terrain - but at this moment, Ye Qi has a sheep intestine path in front of him, although it is uneven, completely made of mud, and there is no stone slab to pave it, but it is indeed a 'road'!

Walking on this solid soil, feeling the degree of solidity of the soil on the soles of his feet, Ye Qi immediately raised his eyebrows - Ye Qi was not too impressed by Felibe, who had had several relationships; Except for the fact that the other party had served as a tester for the Apostle Tournament and was a good friend of Jacob, the other Ye Qi did not know; Therefore, even Ye Qi had a hard time judging the other party's behavior, and could only make some assumptions.

That's just enough width for an adult!

Ye Qi slowed down his pace slightly, and after testing it, he came to the conclusion that if this road was tamped by Felibe, then there was no doubt that Felibe would be far more bored here than he expected; And if it's not, then there's something to be fun about.

Although some large animals were able to move forward and walk in such widths, as far as Ye Qi knew, it was impossible for those animals to tamp the soft soil to the point where they couldn't even leave footprints in their boots! Moreover, even if an ordinary person uses the help of machinery, it will take a long time to make the immediate effect!

A person who doesn't need machinery to be able to reach this level. And can easily knock Tate unconscious......

Some speculations surfaced in Ye Qi's heart. But these speculations are not corresponding. He couldn't be sure—feeling the strength of the dirt under his feet again, Ye Qi asked as he walked towards Tate in front of him.

"Did this also be made by Felibe?"

"No, I've asked the same question to Feribey!" Tate turned around and smiled wryly: "He answered very clearly; In fact, it was precisely because I saw this road that I followed the guy curiously and headed towards what he called a 'good place'! ”

"Haven't you spotted this trail before?" Out of instinctive caution, Ye Qi asked again.

"Nope! You know it, because of the existence of that ruin. We didn't notice anything else! It's just a simple check to see if the surroundings are safe, and start your own 'work'! Shaking his head, Tate told the truth - he naturally had no need to hide it from Ye Qi; In addition to the relationship between Jacob and Ye Qi, the cloak that Ye Qi is wearing at the moment that represents the solar level is also one of the reasons why Tate answered truthfully.

Although he is in the depths of the explored area of the Thousand Numa District, there is the existence of Felibe, who travels back and forth between the headquarters and here from time to time, and the news from the outside world is very clear to Tate, not to mention the 'battle' between Ye Qi and the head of the Holy Knights, he has witnessed it with his own eyes, especially after the successive killing of nameless powerhouses of the same level - undoubtedly, the name of the Solar Rank is well deserved!

Albeit. He was very unconvinced by his defeat at the Apostolic Tournament. But when this series of achievements appeared in front of him, Tate was sincerely admired-if he was only a little ahead of himself, those who worked hard would catch up, and those with ill intentions would be jealous; But if it is strong enough to look up, both the former and the latter will be admired, although the former will still try to catch up, and the latter will still be jealous.

Obviously, Tate is the former—as a traditional witcher, he doesn't throw in the towel so easily; To this end, during the remaining time of exploring the ruins, Tate has been working hard to improve his strength; Especially at night, he will pull Jacob or Felibe to experiment with his various combat ideas.

You guy always uses me as a free sparring partner every time!

Although Feriber shouted like this every time, he still tried his best to practice with him every time - thinking that after every time Felibe practiced, whether he won or lost, he showed that kind of 'I only used three points of strength' expression, Tate subconsciously smiled, and then, immediately reacted to the current emotion, and his expression immediately darkened.

Bastard, don't let anything happen to you!

As soon as he thought of the missing Felibe, Tate's pace couldn't help but speed up by two points, and although Ye Qi behind him had a thoughtful look on his face, his pace did not lag behind in the slightest-

As a demon hunter, Ye Qi is very aware of the demon hunter's caution about the camp, such a place less than half an hour away from the camp will inevitably be within the scope of careful search, even if it is because of the existence of that 'ruin', the center of gravity has shifted, but as the head of the ruins exploration team, Jacob, with Ye Qi's understanding of the other party, this place will definitely be within the scope of the other party's exploration.

Stealthy enough to avoid Jacob's detection?

Or was it the path that only emerged after Jacob's exploration?

If it is the former, there is no doubt that Ye Qi's evaluation of this faceless existence needs to be added to it, and if it is the latter, then the other party's purpose is a bit playful - as far as Ye Qi knows, in this area, the only thing that can attract people seems to be the ruins that Jacob searched and explored.

Is it for the things in that ruin?

Such a thought irrepressibly appeared in Ye Qi's heart, but then Ye Qi shook his head again - if the other party really came for something in the ruins, or the ruins themselves, then what better opportunity could there be than now? The departure of Jacob, as the principal, completely achieved the purpose of diverting the tiger from the mountain; But the other party did not act at all; And if it were only for the relics, there would be no need for this path to appear; Not only is it time-consuming and laborious, but it will also startle the snake, and a direct surprise attack is more effective in Ye Qi's opinion.

Was it just an accident?

The limited clues made Ye Qi sigh in his heart - this kind of clue that can only get a scale and half a claw, but can't grasp the whole thing, is really uncomfortable for a person like Ye Qi who is used to planning and then acting!

"Hey, what is this?"

Tate, who was leading the way in front of him, suddenly stopped abruptly, and let out an exclamation: instinctively, Ye Qi looked up—only to see that at the end of this 'path', after passing through layers of trees, branches, thorns, and flowers, a blue lake appeared in front of him; In the sun, as the breeze blows, the glitter reflects the dazzling light like a swimming fish, and people can't help but squint their eyes slightly.

"I finally knew what Felibe was asking me to carry that log!"

Tate looked at the lake in front of him and couldn't help muttering; Ye Qi, on the other hand, lowered his head and squinted at the lake that had burst into front of him, and his left hand was lightly resting on the hilt of the Enma Knife.
