Daniel is going to the place where the minotaur has transformed into a demon monster and find the place where the black metal is hidden.

There was what he needed.

Daniel has made his way through the primeval forests of this world, over mountains, through grasslands, over lakes, through villages and towns of this world, and through mercenaries and knights.

Finally, near a lake, there is a bustling town.

In this town, Daniel learns that there is a priest nearby who is called the mountain god, and they can listen to the mountain god's warnings.

In recent years, however, the priests here have not received warnings from the mountain gods.

Daniel made his intentions clear when he came to the priest, and at the same time let him see the demonic curse rune on his chest.

The priest on the other side was silent for a long time before he informed Daniel that there was a dark forest as the lake town headed deep into the mountains.

The forest is inhabited by a group of evil dark elves, a group of giant spiders, and a group of minotaurs, but their wails are to dig huge labyrinths in the mountains and underground, and then hide themselves in the darkness, and any enemies who enter the labyrinth will be relentlessly attacked by them.

In the midst of this mountain range, there is a mountain god who rules over two races.

However, in the past hundred years, a tribe of human beings has migrated from afar, and Yueyue sacrificed to the mountain god, so that the mountain god began to help the human race establish a gathering place in the mountains near this dark forest.

On the one hand, the people of these ethnic settlements opened up the wilderness and cultivated food, and at the same time dug up the metal deposits in the mountains, smelted them and sold them to get more food and weapons to protect themselves.

There are also some mysterious and powerful magic scrolls.

At this point, the priest refused to say more, but just asked Daniel to go to the dark forest to have a look, and maybe there would be a harvest.

Daniel opened a piece of black metal for the priest to see.

The priest sighed and said, "It's all greed that causes trouble." ”

Then tell Daniel that the mountain god has not sent him a message recently, and the people who are close to the dark forest have not seen the mountain god for a long time, and even the people who live there are often driven by the dark elves to attack the giant spiders, and they have not sacrificed to the mountain god for a long time.

Because these people believe that it is the mountain god who wants to prevent them from continuing to dig the metal in the mountains, so that the human race cannot expand the population and territory, and wants to limit the development and growth of the human race.

At this, the priest sighed.

Seeing that the priest would not say more, Daniel took his leave, and stayed in an inn, when suddenly it rained heavily in the night, and there was a dull thunderclap.

Outside of the towns near this lake, deep forests flood water cascading down from the heights of the mountains, engulfing large swaths of nearby land and vegetation.

Unbeknownst to Daniel, the Terrans living here on the outskirts of the dark forest were taking advantage of the night to drive cattle along the rugged mountain road.

The leader of this Terran team was a middle-aged man, with a cold face, wearing a robe, but there was not the slightest liquid on the robe, and an invisible light curtain composed of a layer of gentle energy wrapped the entire body.

The leader still seems to be a mage.

As the procession was advancing, in the midst of the rainstorm, someone suddenly shouted in terror.

"Spider, spider is coming. ”

As someone shouted loudly, the guards in the team and the middle-aged man's mage saw a group of giant spiders like a millstone rushing out from the depths of the jungle.

In one of the leader positions of these giant spiders, a dark elf with a delicate face follows the giant spider's movements quickly.

The cold middle-aged mage suddenly raised his palms at this time, and on his ten fingers, he carried six special magic rings.

The magic gems on the ring burst into dazzling light, and a huge sound with a roaring ice shot out like meteors or cannonballs, bombarding the giant spider colonies that were rushing in the distance.

These giant spiders, which were originally rushing violently, suddenly moved slowly, and some were directly frozen in ice and turned into huge ice sculptures.

These giant spiders can only retreat in embarrassment, as if this attack is just a joke.

Cheers rang out among the Terran ranks.

In the other direction of the group, an elite squad of dark elves suddenly flew out of the darkness.

These dark elves, with their sturdiness, rushed into the ranks of the Terrans, killing them like crazy, causing a series of screams from the people in the ranks.

The cold middle-aged mage, at this time, waved his hand again in the face of those dark elves who were raiding, and quickly recited the monophony of a dozen mysterious spells in his mouth.

Suddenly, black flames automatically erupted from the bodies of these dark elves.

This dark flame just burned wildly on a certain part of the body of these dark elves, burning the flesh and bones of the other party to ashes.

One of the most powerful dark elves, in order to attract everyone's attention, rushed into the team, leading three people into a rushing river next to it, causing the crowd to erupt again into a panic.

Although it seemed that in this dark elf raid, the opponent's most powerful martial arts commander entered the river, the middle-aged man, who was a mage, did not smile, he knew that the other party was not really dead.

The next day, after the weather cleared, Daniel left the bustling town near the lake and entered the dark forest.

Near a gently flowing river beach, three survivors of the river beach were sighted.

At the same time, on the other side of the river, a dark elf was being healed, and five dark elves were guarding nearby.

Daniel's arrival made these dark elves nervous, and they all set up bows and arrows, wanting to attack Daniel, but were stopped by the dark elf martial arts commander.

Judging from Daniel's actions and movement trajectory, the other party would not have survived none of them if Daniel really made a move, and the other party was very strong.

And Daniel saw that the other party was a group of beautiful women, the only difference from humans was that the other party's skin was very dark, emitting black light, and at the same time the ears were long and pointed, and the eyes were wild, like a big black leopard in the mountains and forests, full of wildness and charm.

Daniel didn't move, just quietly observed the other side.

Just as they were confronting each other, a new group of dark elves suddenly flew out of the dense forest.

Leading this group of dark elves was a little girl, who looked to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old.

She was a little girl with a human appearance, but she was with the dark elves, and as soon as she appeared, Daniel let out a huge, threatening roar.

The Dark Elf's Martial Arts Commander stopped the little girl's provocation at Daniel, and then they stared at Daniel vigilantly, and quickly left the place.

Daniel began to pull the two people on the river beach over, and when he came to the lawn, he activated their qi and blood through massage, and dispelled the cold in their bodies.

Soon the two of them woke up.

Daniel learns from them that they are among the Terran colonies that live near the Dark Forest.

The two hope that Daniel can help them return home.

Daniel also happened to need to go to the dark forest to find out the specific situation, so he agreed.

They left here and went all the way.

While walking, the True Qi in Daniel's body entered his eyes without moving, and through the covering retina of True Qi, he saw the situation that is usually not easy to find.

Near the path they walked, some slime-like elemental spirits with round bodies appeared, also known as the life spirits of this world.

They have no attacking power, and ordinary lifeforms don't see them.

And Daniel can only see their vague figures slightly with the help of his own true qi at present.

Seeing these life spirits, Daniel knew that the Dark Forest must be very lush.

According to his understanding, this mountain, river and forest are full of the aura of Aoki.

According to their observations, they would have to traverse a small portion of the dense jungle outside the Dark Forest if they wanted to return to the Gathering Place.

But once you enter the forest, you will encounter the dark elves and giant spiders of the forest.

But there was no other path except this one, and they could only rely on Daniel's protection to move forward.

Daniel promised to protect them, and also made it clear in advance that if the enemy was really very strong, or if there were many of them, he would leave alone and would not die with them.

The two had no better way and agreed to come down.

The three of them marched all the way into a vast and huge sea of green.

Daniel found that the trees in the dark forest were more than 1,000 years old, all green and towering, and even the sunlight shining through the gaps in the branches and leaves turned the green of life.

The entire forest seems to be shrouded in a thin veil of green.

Daniel breathed softly, and the true qi in his body was running rapidly, slowly devouring a part of the nearby Aoki qi, making the true qi more lively, and also making the muscles in his body full of toughness.

The functions in the body have more potential.

If Daniel cultivates here, he will definitely soar to the sky in a short period of time, and he can even directly impact the Yuan Shen here.

It's a pity that this is not my hometown, so I can't advance at will, and I'm only here to complete the mission.

Daniel walked and looked left and right, and saw a gentle message not far away, flowing slowly on the riverbed.

See large swaths of butterflies, dancing in a colorful way around the one-meter-tall bushes.

Daniel closed his eyes as he walked, and combined his true qi with the aura of the green trees around him to perceive heaven and earth.

In his perception, the entire dark forest is like a superb spirit stone full of aura, no wonder it can naturally give birth to the spirituality of heaven and earth, and produce a mountain god representing nature.

Daniel opened his eyes and became cheerful, and at the same time, in the nearby jungle, he seemed to see several elk with huge horns walking in the distance, eating leisurely.

Daniel looked at the elk, the corners of his mouth curled.

But in the blink of an eye, the elk, which were still eating, suddenly disappeared.

The smile on Daniel's face froze.

According to the information, the mountain god formed by the local heaven and earth spirituality is most likely to be an elk.

Daniel tried to keep watching, but he didn't see the elk.

In desperation, Daniel had no choice but to give up.

As they continued on their way, Daniel noticed that the injuries on their bodies seemed to be recovering at a rapid pace, and not only that, but even the physical exhaustion of the two men disappeared.

Daniel continued to walk without moving, his eyes contemplative.

Soon, Daniel and the others made their way out of the outer layers of the dark forest.

I was really lucky that I didn't encounter any attacks or enemies along the way.

After the three of them had passed through a part of the dark forest, they came to a criss-cross of mountains, and a huge lake like a blue wave surrounded by high mountains.

At the junction of the lake and the mountains, a huge enclosed castle is erected at the foot of the high mountains.

Behind the huge castle is a lake, and the gate faces the high mountain, as if to guard against the enemy.

Daniel's face was rather indifferent, and they continued on their way, and soon saw the environment near the castle.

In the vicinity of this great castle, there were suddenly huge wooden walls, and in the vicinity of these wooden walls, there were not satisfied with sharp nails, and all the thick trees were sharpened into stumps, which were planted into the ground, forming a dense system of defense.

This castle is the gathering place of the Terrans, and in the castle, the cold middle-aged mage named Aibo is a wandering mage, who has established his own territory here to protect some of the Terran wanderers, and slowly occupies this place.

The ruthless middle-aged mage Abbot led the people to settle here, driving away monsters, planting plants, cultivating farmland, collecting food, digging minerals, so that the people here have three meals a day, although they are still very fortunate every day, but they have their own home.

In order to increase the population here, the middle-aged mage borrowed money from the Terran towns outside, hired mercenaries from outside to train local personnel, and strengthened their combat effectiveness, so that they would not be afraid of all kinds of monsters and beasts nearby.

Therefore, the ruthless middle-aged mage Abbot, in this place, is the leader of the entire gathering place.

Although he may seem cold-faced, he is cold-hearted, a powerful leader, and a leader who loves his people.

As for Daniel, because he saved two people and risked his life to escort them home along the way, the people here are also very enthusiastic about Daniel.

The people here haven't been in contact with outsiders for a long time, and even if they are, they are caravanserans, so they are very curious about Daniel from afar.

And the women here are even more bold and flirtatious with Daniel.

The laughter of the women and the cheers of the children make the local castle come alive.
