Doomsday Mountains, Periphery. [Ran^Text^Library] []

The vegetation here is clearly not comparable to the jungle of the first stage.

Lin Ke and the five walked in the forest with extremely poor light, giant trees and ancient trees grew in a staggered manner, thick or tall, branches and leaves were connected, covering the sky and the sun, everywhere were the rhizomes of giant trees jumping out of the ground, and the vines and leaves covered with soil all over the ground.

Many times, the five of them didn't know how to continue walking, and they didn't know if they would suddenly fall into a deep pit and swamp if they stepped on the next foot, and they didn't know if there was a poisonous beast hidden behind a branch that was casually opened.

"Ahh

"What's wrong?" the crowd was nervous.

"Oh, it's okay," said the fat man, patting his chest, "it's a protruding vine, which startles me, and I thought it was a poisonous snake, and I was scared to death." ”

"Damn fatty, if you're going to be so shocked again, I'll definitely push you when I encounter a monster," Boya viciously scared Jefferson.

"Be careful, we can move slowly, anyway, we have a whole day to wander around the forest, this is already on the outskirts of the Doomsday Mountain Jungle, and the danger factor is much higher than the first stage, and we can't mess around," Lin Ke carefully looked around at every place that might have problems.

"Wait, there's something!" Oliver whispered to a few of them, silently casting a spell as an ice-like arrow condensed in mid-air, swishing with a cold breath to where she had pointed out.

"Bang!"

As if a huge block of ice had shattered, a cold air visible to the naked eye exploded a circle with a diameter of three or four meters at the core of the arrow's landing point!

With the help of the wet water vapor here, the power of the ice magic is increased, and the plants and plants in the circle turn into ice sculptures in an instant!

At the center of the ice circle, a rabbit that had been grazing with its head slightly raised was completely frozen there, vividly.

"Wha, Oliver, hahaha, look at this poor and cute little rabbit, it's watching you, hahaha, ah!" Jefferson, who laughed, was punched in the head by the annoyed Oliver, and he held his head in pain, but he didn't dare to laugh at her anymore.

"Be careful, never lose your sense of crisis in such a dangerous place, otherwise you may lose your life if you are negligent," Lin Ke said to Jefferson solemnly, "This is the Doomsday Mountains! Remember, this is the Doomsday Mountains!"

Jefferson restrained his smile and nodded, and when he looked around again, he no longer had the same hippie smile as before.

The group continued to move forward, but the light became more and more dim, Lin Ke and Xue'er took out two magic lamps with extremely high brightness, making the other three speechless for a while.

One of the two lamps is held by Lin Ke, he holds the staff in one hand and the lamp in the other, which will not affect his combat and reflexes, and in the direction of his opening path, the relatively deep magical energy reserves allow him to release magic from time to time to cut through the obstacles that appear in front of him, without worrying about consuming too much energy and affecting his combat effectiveness.

The other was held by Oliver, who was inside the formation, and she was in a relatively safe position, holding a delicate staff in one hand, and she also had a magic lamp in her free hand, and the light emitted from her could illuminate the entire team.

"Branch... Cohen, you say...... Do you think there will be any goblins or necromantic creatures here, my God, think of a withered claw that suddenly sticks out of the ground!" Jefferson exclaimed again.

Everyone was on the alert again, only to find that the damn fat man slowly lifted his right foot, took off his shoes, took out a stone from it, and threw it to the ground.

This time, Lin Ke couldn't help it, walked up to him and kicked Jefferson's ass and yelled, "Jefferson, you think we are all playing a game?! This is the Doomsday Mountains, the Doomsday Mountains where someone will lose their lives at any time! If you happen like this again, you don't have to wait for the monster to appear, I will kill you first, so that you don't have to kill all of us!"

Jefferson was momentarily frightened by Linko's vicious momentum, and could only nod his head blankly.

Lin Ke returned to the position of the leader and continued to move forward, the atmosphere was a little dull, but he felt that in a place like the Doomsday Mountains, such an atmosphere was more normal.

Time passed little by little, and it was not until everyone noticed that the light was getting darker, Lin Ke raised his hand and shot a wind blade diagonally upward, and the wind blade went all the way through the forest to reveal the sky, but it was already evening.

"Cohen, didn't you say that the number of demonic beasts on the periphery of the Doomsday Mountains is far greater than that of the first stage, why didn't we encounter a single demonic beast after walking all day?" asked Cher with a frown.

Lin Ke shook his head slowly, looked around deeply again, and then said in a deep voice, "Return to the camp first, pay attention, return along the original road, there is a road we opened earlier will return much faster, and strive to return to the new camp before it gets completely dark." ”

Smooth journey!

Nothing but one or two herbivores that stumble into the vicinity of the Linko team!

How come?!

The five Lin Ke people who returned to the camp found that there were many students who had already returned and were gathering in the new camp to discuss something, and when they walked nearby, they learned that on the first day of the second stage, none of them had ever encountered a single demonic beast, even if it was a low-level Xiong Li!

Now everyone knows that something is not good.

Lin Ke immediately went to negotiate with the mentors who led the team, but was told that most of the tutors had dispersed to the periphery of the Doomsday Mountains to investigate the situation, and the remaining assistant asked him to return to his frame and wait patiently for the notice.

It turned out that they had already noticed that something was wrong.

What happened to this Doomsday Mountains?

――――――――――――――――――――

The Imperial Capital, somewhere in that building at the highest point of the Ares Mountain.

A middle-aged man in a gorgeous imperial robe was sitting at his desk, and behind him stood an emaciated old man, the old man was dark-skinned but wearing a pure white robe, his neatly tied white hair was covered in a small cloth hat, and his eyes were wide, but he did not blink, which looked very strange.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed suddenly, and the cold light in his shrunken pupils flashed and disappeared suddenly.

Because an old man with a white beard suddenly appeared in the courtyard outside the room where the two of them were.

"Your Majesty," the emaciated old man bent down slightly and whispered in the middle-aged man's ear, "the Great Elder is here." ”

The middle-aged man smiled after a pause, "This old man is really a rare guest, let's go out to meet him." ”

The door opened, and the Great Elder bowed slightly.

"Your Majesty is well. ”

"Oh, is this a slap in the face of my junior?" The middle-aged man walked quickly to the old man's side, helped him up, and enthusiastically took the old man's arm and led him to the room, "Boss, this time you entered the palace to find me?! That really surprised me! Please come in!"

"Alas, Originally, Your Majesty really shouldn't have come to bother, but the old man didn't go out for many years, and when he encountered a little thing, he didn't know a few people who could help in this imperial capital, so he had to come to His Majesty with a cheeky face, which is really ...... Alas...... "The old man is really sighing from the heart.

"Oh?" the middle-aged man's eyes lit up, helped the old man to his seat and sat down, and then asked after he found an adjacent chair to sit down, "What happened to the old man that made you so annoyed?"

"Well, really, where do you start...... It's a personal matter," the old man was a little embarrassed.

"You just say it, as long as I can do it, I will help you solve it, but your relatives ...... I've heard that the one that is still alive is still living and is still living a decent life?" the middle-aged emperor actually considered the wording for a moment before continuing.

"Your Majesty is too polite, the old and decrepit descendants are now living under your care, it is not only passable, it is simply a little lawless, Your Majesty, the old man is still the same sentence, don't be too arrogant to those children, they must not be spared if they commit crimes, and they will be punished heavily, you know that the old man will not speak crookedly, they are all big truths, alas," the old man sighed and looked at the smiling middle-aged emperor and smiled bitterly, " Your Majesty is to reassure me as an old thing, I know, but, alas, don't mention it," he sighed and naturally took a cup of tea from the emaciated old man's hand and said, "It's really not for the sake of those unsuccessful descendants to bother you this time, their affairs are too old to take care of it, this time...... It's for a student at the God of War Academy. ”

"Oh?!" The middle-aged emperor's city government couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Boss, you have taken a fancy to a student of the God of War Academy?!Which family has such a great blessing?!, or is it a child of which side of the empire?!"

The old man smiled and said, "A small family from Windy City, Your Majesty may not remember big things all day long, you have promoted a group of military generals to the local area, and this child's grandfather is one of them. ”

"Windy City...... Rhine? Hmm...... Mutes?" The middle-aged emperor thought for a moment and said in surprise, "It's actually this guy's family?!

"Your Majesty's memory is really amazing, and his cultivation is even deeper, coupled with his extraordinary talent, it is very possible to break through the 'barrier' in the future," the old man nodded incessantly, " The old man will not hide it from you, it is a child of this Mutes family, this child only entered the God of War Academy this year, a few days ago he founded a amorous chamber of commerce with other people's families, and now he is in a little trouble, originally this kind of trivial matter really can't bother His Majesty, but the ministers and nobles who know the old man have long gone, and if they go to find their juniors, they are really a little unable, and they are already worried. ”

"Amorous Chamber of Commerce?" The middle-aged emperor was stunned for a moment, looked at the emaciated old man behind him, and then smiled.
