The breeze swept through the forest, and the leaves rustled and shook like a verdant ocean. Very scenic ecology, there are no powerful animals, at most wild boars, crabs, if you ignore the corpses of humanoid monsters outside the forest, this island is quite a place to live.

Along the way, Estes played very comfortably, as if he had let go of the burden of being the strongest general in the empire on his shoulders. Like a little girl who has just come into contact with the world, her natural sunny smile is so dazzling.

When she saw some curious animals, she would chase them with light steps, so that Gu Xuan had no choice but to follow.

"So crabs crawl like this!" Estes gestured with his hand, "It's really strange that there are creatures in this world that walk sideways, and there are eight legs!" ”

Estes grew up in the northern ice field, and it was not unusual not to see creatures in such hot areas.

As her slender fingers poked at her, the poor little crab spat out foam helplessly. Most of the powerful creatures in this world can't resist the power of the Ice Queen, let alone the weak.

"I can even spit foam with a puff." Estes was like a little girl who discovered something new to share, beckoning Gu Xuan to come over.

"Alright, stop playing with the poor little one." Gu Xuan walked over helplessly and said.

I looked at the baby crab that Estes was playing with and other crabs around me, and then at the trees around me. On a whim, he simply weaved a bamboo basket with several layers of bark, and then unceremoniously threw the crabs into it.

"Is it still edible to eat crabs? It looks like a spider, so it shouldn't be tasty. Estes asked in surprise.

Gu Xuan twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Could it be that you have eaten spiders before?" Crabs are not like spiders, they are very tasty. ”

"Oh!" Estes nodded incomprehensibly, though she still wondered how to eat the crab with its carapace.

At this time, Gu Xuan went to the nearby fruit tree to pick fruits and prepare dinner.

He knew that Sheila's purpose was not to teleport them far away and trap them, so it could be understood that he was just playing the so-called game! When it is night, there will be a teleportation array that teleports them, and then they can return to the outskirts of the imperial capital through the teleportation array.

After seeing this scene, Estes was also full of vitality and found a fruit tree at random, climbed up to pick the fruit.

When it was time to meet again, she would show the fruit in front of Gu Xuan like an invitation.

"You can't eat it." However, Gu Xuan could only sigh helplessly, he guessed that Estes was like a war maniac, and he didn't know a lot of common sense.

"Isn't it?" Confused, Estes picked up the fruit he had picked and took a bite. The taste of the sour teeth being numb in an instant made her quickly spit out the flesh in her mouth, and stretched out her fragrant tongue to blow like a puppy.

"Hahaha!"

Gu Xuan on the side couldn't help but laugh, he was amused by Estes's actions. The latter puffed out his mouth sullenly, turned his head shyly, and looked like a little woman.

Of course, as dinner, the main course and side dishes are not yet complete, and the two continue to explore the depths.

"This mushroom is not edible, it is poisonous." Gu Xuan said helplessly again, it turned out that Estes had found a bunch of colorful poisonous mushrooms out of nowhere.

"Eh, it's so beautiful."

Suddenly, Estes made a cold sneak attack, walked behind Gu Xuan, and playfully held these mushrooms on his head.

"This mushroom isn't for play!!" When Gu Xuan turned his head to raise his anger slightly, there was a smile on Estes' face. It seems that this smile, the words that Gu Xuan wanted to blame were stuck in his throat, and they were stuffed back into his stomach with the swallowing of saliva.

At this time, a sound from the bushes came, which resolved the embarrassment of the atmosphere. A small boar shuttles through it, attracting the attention of boar.

"The staple is here, don't let it go."

"Okay."

Gu Xuan and Estes immediately set off and chased in the direction where the little wild boar had fled.

Needless to say, the movement speed of the two of them exploded with all their strength, and they found the target after chasing for a while. Estes stared, put his hands on his chest, and used the ice power of the emperor.

The next moment, the power of the ice elemental surged wildly in the air, and with the barren head of the little wild boar passing by, he had no idea what would happen.

Boom! As a result, it crashed head-on into a wall of ice that appeared out of thin air, and then its body collapsed with a bang.

Later, when Gu Xuan ran over, he was surprised to find that not far in front of the little wild boar, a cave of several meters had appeared.

Gu Xuan and Estes glanced at each other, this accidentally discovered cave was very likely to be the research base he wanted to explore.

"Go on an adventure." In Estes's shouting of raised hands, Gu Xuan was also the first to walk in.

The environment without light was pitch black, but fortunately, Gu Xuan relied on his own flames, and the humanoid torch illuminated the front.

After the two of them walked cautiously for about ten minutes, suddenly, a sharp squeak came from the darkness of the passage.

Gu Xuan looked up, kneaded the flame into a ball in his hand, and then threw it forward.

Suddenly, the front of the passage was illuminated, and the cave was full of dense bats!

Looking at these bats, Gu Xuan was terrified, and hurriedly took out his twin swords, and Estes also drew out the knight's sword on the side.

The comer was not good, and an extremely fast figure slammed into it.

Flamefang's blade left a scratch in midair, and the bat was sliced in two with great precision, and its body was quickly burned by the flames.

However, in the face of this scene, the rest of the bats did not flinch at all, and contrary to the instinctive fear of animals, they rushed to their faces and continued to crash into Gu Xuan, who was carrying flames.

Gu Xuan's face changed, although the individual attack of these bats was not strong, it was also very tricky after counting a lot. But fortunately, Gu Xuan was not alone, and with the cooperation of Estes and the Ice Rain, the narrow cave was instantly filled with the dead corpses of bats.

Seeing this bloody scene, Estes frowned in displeasure. His hands were still on his chest, and the next moment, the front of the passage, along with the corpse, was frozen by the power of the ice, turning into the environment of the ice path.

The two of them walked again, and after walking for another ten minutes, there was a faint sound of running water, and at the same time there was a foul rancid smell.

Finally, in front of the two of them was a stream that flowed to a darker place. It seems that the place where it flows will be the sea outside, and it doesn't matter if it's not.

Because next to the stream, there are a bunch of experimental benches and experimental equipment. There is no doubt that this is the research base that Gu Xuan wants to explore.

Walking forward, the stream sparkles and is crystal clear.

So Gu Xuan knew where the rancid smell came from, through the bottom of the water, there were carrion corpses that had accumulated and were not washed away!
