Chapter 11: Iris
The towering trees are densely packed next to each other, and the branches and leaves are luxuriant, wrapping around and stretching towards the sky, as if they are about to pierce the sky.
Scattered rays of sunlight fell through the gaps, creating leaping spots of light on the ground.
It was already noon, but the rays of the scorching sun could hardly penetrate the foliage above the forest to the ground.
The first thing Su Rong, who had just stepped into this forest, felt was a cool breeze, which blew a layer of fine goosebumps on her back.
His eyes narrowed slightly for a while, and then he got used to the gray environment here that was a few degrees darker than the outside.
Although the Fallen City has an urban area where people live, it is really a small and unworthy existence compared to the forest.
There are different forms of monsters, and you may be able to hunt them for gold.
There are also a variety of herbs and fruits, and you may be able to obtain peerless exercises when you accidentally fall into a cliff.
Countless mercenaries walk in here every day and flock to it.
But there are more in the forest, murderous monsters, endless battles, bloody breaths, rotting fresh corpses!
The forest is a glass of wine and a cup of poison, and no one knows what they are going to drink today.
But what does it matter, if walking on the tip of a knife can get a huge sweetness, who doesn't want to go crazy?
What's more, in this world, everyone is carried on the tip of a knife, falling down is an abyss, and stagnation is being crushed into dust by others.
When he walked into the forest, even Mo Yao, who was chattering up and down along the way, consciously lowered his voice a lot, for fear that he would cause any trouble to any demonic beasts.
"I saw Huateng grass in one place when I was on a mission last time, and there are quite a few of them there, so we can just go there and pick them. ”
Brother Zhuang carried his big axe and said at the front of the team while cautiously observing the surrounding situation.
Su Rong and the others naturally had no objections, and everyone reached an agreement that they planned to go straight there, and this mission was quickly resolved.
A few men walked in the forest for about half an hour, but they were lucky not to run into any trouble.
Occasionally, a few first-level demonic beasts popped out, all of which were used by Su Rong to practice.
With a sharp sound, the head of a wild boar fell.
With a flip of his wrist, Su Rong skillfully dug out the star core inside the skull with a dagger in his hand.
Each monster has a star core in its body, and this can be sold.
I don't know if this is the first single level of demonic beasts I have encountered, but Su Rong's current techniques are becoming more and more proficient.
Along the way, her face was already covered with blood because of the fight, but she didn't care, but the whole person had a hearty sense of fighting one after another.
"There seems to be a sound of a fight in front of the left. Michael spoke suddenly, and she paused to listen intently for a moment, then nodded firmly.
She is the highest-ranking of several people, a fifth-level star master, so her hearing is also the best.
"That's where we're going to pass, do you want to take a detour, or go over and have a look?" Hearing her words, Brother Zhuang stopped and turned his head and asked.
"They seem to be coming to us. Michael, who was listening, replied with a frown.
In just a few seconds, Su Rong also heard a burst of messy footsteps, accompanied by the sound of weapons intersecting, and the faint sound of speech.
With the sound of the trees being plucked, the first thing that catches my eye is a woman in a leotard.
There were several gaps on the top of the trousers, half of the blonde hair was scattered, it was particularly eye-catching, there was a whip in one hand, and there were several wounds of different shades on the body, which looked very embarrassing.
"I'll see where you can go, Iris. A vicious male voice sounded behind him, revealing the figure of a man with blond hair and a high nose.
Obviously, as can be seen from his tattered clothes, he didn't get much benefit either.
"Iris?" When he saw the appearance of the woman in front of him, Mo Yao next to him frowned and asked in surprise.
Hearing Mo Yao's voice, Iris looked over here.
After seeing it clearly, a look of surprise appeared on his face, "Mo Yao, great, you can help me!" After speaking, he staggered over.
"What's wrong with you, how did you get to be like this? Looking at the embarrassed Iris, Mo Yao asked with a frown.
But before Iris could answer, the man behind him took the first step to speak: "Are you all together? Do you know that she stole my things?"
As he spoke, he stopped a few paces away, his face gloomy.
"Iris, what's going on?" Hearing his words, Mo Yao frowned and looked at the woman beside him.
Su Rong's eyes also looked at him, and the result happened to meet with Iris's eyes in the air.
The latter immediately moved her gaze to something else, and she was still standing there gasping for breath.
After hearing this, his face was cloudy for a while, and finally he gritted his teeth, took out a golden thing from the storage bag and threw it over.
"I've given you back the things, and you don't want to chase me any more. Iris stared at the other party and said unwillingly.
Su Rong, who had already withdrawn his gaze, was now full of glances that had just met her.
She hadn't been in this world for a long time, and she was sure she didn't know Iris as a person.
So why did the other party have to look at himself separately when he was chased and killed by others just now?
"Su Rong, what do you think?" Michael's voice interrupted her thoughts at this time.
"Hmmm, what?" she looked up at her companion.
"That's Su Rong, I've done a few missions together with Iris before, and I know each other, and I happened to meet today, she happened to pick Huateng grass too, so she wanted to ask if she could go with us, and a few of us didn't mind wanting to ask your opinion. Mo Yao explained beside him.
Su Rong lowered his eyelids and suppressed the doubts in his heart just now, "I'm okay, since you also agree, let's go together." ”
"Great, thank you Su Rong. Hearing her words, Iris exclaimed, a smile on her face, and she took a few steps forward, intimatimately wanting to take Su Rong's arm.
In the next second, I saw Su Rong's footsteps move slightly, dodging her arm.
"Sorry, I don't like to be in contact with strangers. Su Rong raised his head and said seriously.
Iris happened to meet this clear gaze, she hurriedly looked away, brushed her hair with her hand and smiled, "It's okay, I understand you." ”
