Chapter 1: The Abandoned Temple
Dense foliage obscured the sky, and sunlight could only pass through the gaps in the foliage. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info make the originally dark depths of the rainforest somewhat bright. The thick fallen leaves on the ground, after I don't know how many years of accumulation, are mixed with rain and soil to form a thick layer. If you step on it, you will sink most of your foot. The chirping of all kinds of birds, beasts and insects is mixed into an irritating noise, and the poisonous insects, mosquitoes and ants that appear from time to time make people disgusted here.
"I kind of understand, why did the elves give up here in the first place, what the hell is this place!" The elemental chain in Ye Hanshuang's hand shook, and a large snake with a bowl mouth, three or four meters long, and a dark green body with black spots was stopped and cut in two. The endless stream of mosquitoes, flies, snakes and ants makes it a little unbearable to just enter the rainforest for half a day of night frost. The environment of this southwest rainforest, located on the southwest peninsula of the mainland and belonging to the territory of the Kingdom of Jose called Memories of the Elves, is really terrible! Although there are almost no high-level magical beasts here compared to the Southern Cross Forest, there are too many poisonous insects and poisonous snakes!
"Hehe, the real reason why the elves gave up this place is actually because this place is too close to the sea!" Dalton said with a smile. Night Frost's mage robe had no effect on insects and snakes in the rainforest, but he changed into a leather-mixed full-body armor, and after putting on gloves and boots, his resistance to mosquitoes was much higher.
"I think the Night Brother is right!" a particularly burly berserker also complained, "This broken environment is a bit unbearable for us, let alone those spoiled elves!" "The environment in the rainforest is very bad, so most of the members of the Dragon Knights are on standby outside the rainforest. One of the three strongest berserkers who followed Dalton in even reached the point where he could calmly go berserk without relying on Cowisidin metal. However, the strength of the berserker seems to be directly proportional to the body, and the height of these three berserkers is almost equal to that of Dalton, who is two meters and a half! The three berserkers almost lost half of their calves with every step! If they hadn't come in with knee-high boots, they would have had a foot of mud, not to mention a large number of poisonous insects and leeches in the mud.
The equally tall, heavy Dalton had no such problem. With a strength of the Heaven Warrior, his fighting spirit is enough to offset his weight. Walking in the mire is like walking on hard marble, but the three berserkers obviously don't have that level. It can only be difficult. In the end, it was still night frost, and I couldn't stand it, no one blessed it, and a levitation technique was a little better.
According to Dalton, 10,000 years ago, this was originally a small continent of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, and it was the territory of the Moon Elves! But in a shocking battle 10,000 years ago, the powerful forbidden magic actually caused the entire continent to sink! Now only this small peninsula of only more than 10,000 square kilometers remains. The moon elves couldn't adapt to the sudden change of environment, and secondly, this place was too close to the sea, and they were inevitably bullied by the races in the ocean, so the whole clan migrated to other places. Dalton was also here in search of an herb when he stumbled upon the ruins of the Moon Elf.
"Whatever the reason, we won't be here for long anyway!" Dalton shrugged indifferently: "Let's hurry up, try to get back before dark, there's not much ahead!"
Dalton's opinion was supported by everyone, and Night Frost did not hesitate to bless everyone with levitation and acceleration techniques, and Dalton provided three high-grade magic crystals to store magic power for him, so Night Frost now feels a little bit like not using bean bags as dry food. I have to say that Dalton's sense of direction is not a little stronger than that of Night Frost. A few minutes after Night Frost entered the rainforest, he couldn't tell where it was, but Dalton, who was said to have only been here once, took them to their destination without even looking at the road.
Although there are many poisonous insects in this rainforest, which is known as the memory of the elves, there are really some high-level magical beasts, and they are medium-level venom-based magical beasts such as the black-spotted arrow poison frog that survive until death. I haven't seen any of the high-level demonic beasts. Without the obstruction of the Warcraft, a few people with good strength still acted quite quickly.
"Is this the ......" marched with all their might for an hour, and the group reached their destination. Night Frost looked at the building in front of her, a little incredulous. In front of him is a temple as high as more than ten zhang! Countless huge stone pillars of two or three people hugging each other hold up the big roof of the entire temple, although it has been dilapidated due to the erosion of time, but you can still see the majesty of the past. However, although this building is very grand, there are not a few buildings of this level on the mainland now. What really surprised Nightfrost was that it didn't belong to any of the elves he knew of at all. Instead, it looks like the style of humans in the Western Continent.
You must know that most of the elves on the continent now live in treehouses. Elves have a unique technique that allows older trees to form treehouses. The elves are good at carving seals, but they have never heard of being proficient in civil engineering, such a large hall surprised Ye Hanshuang, originally he thought that it was at most a large array of stone piles.
"I was also taken aback when I came last time!" Dalton laughed and said, "I also know what you are strange about, Xiaoye, and now the elves on the continent will not make such a building at all, because they ...... How to say it. Don't like such heavy work. However, what you may not know is that 10,000 years ago, the elves had a cooperative race that specialized in this kind of heavy labor. ”
"Big Brother Dalton...... You mean...... Druid?" Nightfrost thought of this possibility in an instant. The druids are a race that is very close to nature. They worship nature and worship the goddess of the jungle. Today's druids are one of the three major foreign races of the Moyue Empire, and they belong to the same people of the Moyue Empire as the elves and dwarves. But when he was looking through the historical books, he knew that before many, many, many years ago, the druid and the elves were actually a family, a close family. However, due to some problems, it seems that the different beliefs were separated, and they have never been in contact with each other since then. It wasn't until the rise of Moyue that it was better to include the two in nationality.
"That's right, it's a druid!" Dalton nodded with a smile as he walked inside the temple, "Xiao Ye is worthy of being a magician, and he is really knowledgeable!"
Night Frost's face was slightly red from praise, and he said embarrassedly: "What is the knowledge, I've thought about it for a long time, but I haven't figured it out, Brother Dalton, which race are you!" Regarding Dalton's race, Night Frost had already asked curiously, but Dalton just smiled and said let Night Frost guess. Night Frost thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of a reason. A group of berserkers all laughed at the joke, obviously sure that Nightfrost couldn't guess. In fact, Night Frost really can't guess. Four or five days had passed on the way from the Chaos Leader here, and Night Frost hadn't figured it out.
"Haha, okay, okay, you're still thinking about this, I'll give you a hint......" Dalton laughed, and then thought for a while: "My name is Dalton, but my surname doesn't tell you, my surname is Lei Mingden, can this surname remind you of anything?"
"Thundering ......" Ye Hanshuang frowned, this surname vaguely seemed to have some impressions, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Night Frost was about to ask again, but Dalton suddenly stopped and reminded, "We're here!"
As soon as Night Frost looked up, he realized that he had walked into the depths of the temple. I couldn't help but feel ashamed, Jing Shen didn't notice the situation around him at all just now, if someone or a demonic beast sneak attacked, wouldn't he not know how to hang up? But soon these thoughts were forgotten by Nightfrost, as a huge statue of the god appeared in front of him.
This is a statue of a goddess who is more than ten meters high, with exquisite facial features and charming and moving. Dressed in a chainmail battle skirt, he has a slender and well-proportioned figure, holds a war bow, and has a harp at his feet. Behind the bright moon with a twist and turn. The whole body of the statue is made of a milky white stone, and there is a faint layer of pink luster on it, which is lifelike.
"It's ...... "Night Frost naturally doesn't even know the beliefs of the elves, the moon god. Suddenly he thought of something, and said in surprise: "Could this be ...... Temple of the Luna?"
"That's right, it's the Moon Temple!" Dalton nodded: "Or should it be said that it was the last abandoned Moon Temple, but now that the Moon Elves and Druids are not mixed together, I don't know if they have the financial resources and the ability to build another temple......" He stepped forward and bowed deeply to the statue of the Moon God. The other three berserkers also saluted. Night Frost thought about it, although she didn't believe in any gods. I don't believe in the moon god, but it doesn't seem to be a big deal to bow to the god.
After saluting, Dalton pointed to the door behind the idol and said, "That's it!" Nightfrost's eyes lit up as she looked at the door. Night Frost has studied rare materials well, so he also has a certain ability to identify materials such as gemstones. This gate was actually made of a single piece of smoky green jadeite! Smoky green jadeite is not particularly unusual, although it takes 4.5 billion years to form like the ink crystal, but the number is still more than the best magic crystal. But it's a bit sensational to use it as a gate. And what's inlaid on it...... Night Frost can be seen at a glance that there are pieces of white transparent round stone beads inlaid on it, which is the best material moon stone!
But these two things are enough to make the vast majority of people on the mainland blush and play for their lives.
"Don't worry about that door!" Dalton looked at the red night frost on his face, and said with a smile: "The last time I came, I had a show with you, and I wanted to cut it off with a big axe, but I didn't gain anything except shaking my hands to soreness, there was the blessing of the moon god on it, unless you have the strength of the Holy Order, don't think about touching it at all." ”
Holy Order?Night Frost pouted, if I had the strength of the Holy Order, why did I need that thing? Thinking of this, he smiled. Follow Dalton and the others to the door.
"Haha, don't mind, since even the gate is such a rare thing, will the things inside be bad?" said Dalton as he walked to the gate.
"Not necessarily," Night Frost glanced at her mouth again, "Maybe she was taken away by the elves?"
"Luck!" Dalton laughed, pushing the door open.
