"Rest well."

Xia knew that she had been taking care of everyone throughout the year, and even with Xue Qian's help, it would be quite a heavy task; Although there are not many battles experienced, prolonged detection and vigilance tend to be more expensive.

The vampire girl didn't respond, it seemed that her body had changed.

Soul fluctuations are difficult to imitate, and in some ways have unique characteristics, so once the other person falls into a deep sleep, the voice cannot reach the head of another Wendy.

"Hey, this tree is weird."

"Yes, it's so thin, but it's sturdy and scary, you guy who is heavier than a wild boar can swing into the sky."

When he found someone else, Abner was swinging with Merlin.

The two of them found a tall plant with leaves 2 to 3 meters wide, and while marveling at the peculiarity of this plant, EBNER had the idea to tie the resilient stems and leaves on it into two ropes, and then found a wooden plank to attach it, and one sat on it and the other pushed it behind, and had a lot of fun.

"Polly, do you want to play?"

Al and Catwoman seem to have a much better relationship, and when she sees Polly wagging her tail and looking over there, she immediately sees through her thoughts.

"I ...... I don't play with this kind of kid's stuff. ”

Polly's tail shrugged off:

"This jungle feels strange to me, maybe there is some danger, we should be vigilant before my sister returns."

"Hey, kitten, you're not right."

Albert's short, round body flew into the air, and his fluffy beard floated high, and he shouted to the two girls below:

"Everyone has been nervous for so long, it is long time to relax and relax, and life must be relaxed so that you can live longer......"

"Fart!"

Merlin said disdainfully:

"Don't compare yourself to others, I saw that you were too pitiful so I helped you make this thing, in fact, I have always been vigilant!"

"As a magician, you even threw away your staff, and you still boasted to me that you were on your guard!"

Albernar sneered.

"It was a lot of fun."

Xia looked at the side for a while, and said coldly.

"Team, captain."

Abner immediately wilted, slowing down in the air.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, Lord Wolf God!"

Merlin hurriedly picked up the staff on the ground, made a look like he was sentry just now, and walked over with a smile on his face:

"Don't blame that idiot on Abner, the main thing is that he is a little curious when he sees so many rare things that he has never seen before......"

"Oops!"

In his impatience, Abner fell to the ground before the swing stopped, wearing heavy plate armor, and rolled forward for a long distance before stopping castration, just at Xuexi's feet.

Xuexi was wearing a skirt at this time, and the dazed Abner tried to stand up, but before he could look up, he was trampled on the head with one foot, and then the soles of his shoes burst into bright flames, blowing the poor dwarf back.

"It seems to be a cycad plant, but now it's a alder tree (Alsophilaspinulosa)."

Xia knew that Xue Qian must have been careful, and didn't care if Abner was dead or not, so she walked to the tree where they were swinging and took a closer look at the plant.

The leaves of this tree are large and broad, showing a slightly elongated rectangular shape, and hidden groups of sporangia can be seen at the bifurcation of the lateral veins, which are the reproductive tools of ferns; However, although the spores are abundant, they are extremely difficult to survive and have a development period of up to 12 months, which makes these plants extremely picky about their living environment.

"It's rare to see a lush cluster of alder trees in this world."

She looked around and found that the neighborhood was full of rare prehistoric plants, there were only a few of them left on the earth in the 28th century, and she had only seen pictures on the light brain, and this was the first time she had seen the real thing.

"Erin, Irene!"

She tried to contact the artifact Lori, but the distance between the two sides seemed to be a bit far, and she didn't get an answer from Irene.

"Kilrondo, come here."

She thought for a moment, then beckoned to her loyal wizard subordinates:

"You put a wizard's eye in this relatively empty place, remember to raise it a little higher, I want to know the situation in the distance."

"Understood."

Kilrondo, who had never liked nonsense, immediately issued a spell at her command.

A white eye slowly levitated into the air, then hid its form by natural light until it came to a halt at a very high point.

"Except for the scarce vegetation, which is the wilderness, master."

The wizard closed his eyes and reported what he saw:

"It's a hot climate and I can see some gravel and dry soil...... To the north, the trees are sparse, so it should not be possible to hide people and monsters, and there are images of suspected oases in some places to the west...... As for the eastern ......"

"Poof!"

After listening to his description for a while, Xia suddenly reached out and grabbed a flying insect that passed by.

Like those plants, this flying insect is unusually large, but it is of a very low level, only LV39; It buzzed and flapped its wings as it was caught, trying to escape from the silver-haired girl's grasp.

"Soul Skill - Mind Possession!"

Natsu threw it into the air with all his might, and then activated his skills.

After a short while, the flying insect's vision appeared in front of her eyes.

The psychic induction then activated, and the flying insect's body froze, as if it had been affected in some way, and began to unconsciously spin in the air.

"The east and north are desolate."

Xia observed the surrounding environment with shared vision, and sure enough, only a touch of thick greenery could be seen in the west, and the other areas were barren, and there was no trace of people and monsters at all.

According to estimates, the temperature now almost reaches 45-50 degrees in unsheltered places, and you can't feel anything in the bushes, and once you go outside, it will definitely be difficult for the average person to move.

"The neighborhood should be on the fringe, and I can't find any useful clues, so we can't blame Gladys, the vegetation here is a little sparse and not very suitable for camping."

She released the flying insect, turned back to everyone, and said:

"Are you all rested? If you feel too tired, you can rest for a while, and then we have to walk through about 20 kilometers of wilderness, and endure the heat and sun, which can be very hard. ”

"We all have water and emergency props ready."

Sadonam got up from the rock where he was sitting:

"If it's a little farther away, it might be a little difficult for the average player; But with only 20 kilometers, everyone can definitely do it. ”

“…… How do you, a freak who is not afraid of heat or cold, know the pain of walking in the scorching heat. ”

Abner rubbed the flame-blackened spot on his helmet and muttered something in a low voice.

"Is everyone okay? Don't be pushy. ”

Xia ignored Abner's complaints and asked the crowd.

"No problem!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness the Princess."

"I can run another 10 kilometers!"

Although many people still looked a little tired, her words were answered in the affirmative.

"It's an unfamiliar area, and you have to be well prepared before you move."

After carefully checking what the team members were carrying, and feeling that there was nothing to remind, she waved her hand reassuringly and led everyone to the scorching sun.

"Good...... It's hot! ”

Merlin took off her magic hat and stuck her tongue out like a dog.

But then he felt his mouth dry and hurriedly retracted again:

"It's 20 kilometers so far, I usually feel like I'll be there in a while."

The climate behind the sea of fog is indeed weird, obviously only a small space, but on the one hand, it is gentle and pleasant, and on the other hand, it is like purgatory, and even those players with outstanding physical fitness on weekdays can't stand this kind of heat.

Later, the magicians made some ice cubes and water balloons to cool down and quench their thirst, which was a little better.

"Luckily, I don't see any danger in the vicinity."

Sadonan, the most indifferent of all, said:

"Neither the monster nor the catastrophe showed the slightest sign of appearing; There are only a few strange-looking animals, but they are not aggressive, on the contrary, they are all timid. ”

At this moment, a large bird that was curiously following the team approached, and Sadonan immediately emitted a green light from the front of the Arcane Staff, startling the bird and rushing into the air.

"This guy's wings are three or four meters open, and I must think it's a monster when I see it."

Albernar wiped his sweat and looked at the sky, and was soon blocked back by the scorching sun:

"They don't seem to know how to attack humans, are they frightened by our weapons? Or are they some peaceful animals in the first place? ”

"These guys are attracted by the waves of water magic."

Natsu looked at the players who were making water polos and realized that they were the easiest to attract the attention of the animals.

Perhaps because water and ice are relatively rare, most of the animals just want to quench their thirst, so they follow.

"Animals are more sensitive to the elements than people."

Merlin gasped and said:

"I don't think we'd better waste time, instead of walking slowly here and suffering, it's better to get to the oasis quickly."

"Merlin is right, it's better to speed things up."

Xia also noticed the state of everyone, especially those weak female team members, who looked very haggard and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"The Most Ancient Breath - Ring Ice!"

Anyway, there was really no danger around, and she didn't care about how the animals reacted, and directly lingered the water element on the outside of the team, where the condensed magic formed a suspended ice ring, floating around the team members.

Because of the relationship between the pupils of the sea, water magic can be said to be the type she is best at, coupled with the effect of elemental awakening, it is equivalent to putting a high-power air cooler in this area, and the temperature drops down suddenly.

"Whoa...... It's so comfortable! ”

Ebner was so immersed in the coldness that he squinted his eyes as he ran.

Merlin, who had been fanning the wind, also put his hat back on his head, looked at the flickering ice crystals around him and sighed:

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has already crossed the boundary when she was in Faenns, and now she is still so much stronger than others when she comes to the New World, I can't build a floating ice ring of this scale."

"Merlin, you fly to the front first to take a look at the situation, remember not to get too close to the oasis, there may be some troublesome things inside."

Xia didn't like to hear people praise him, so he sent him out to explore the way.

"Others, hurry up! Although it is not too much trouble to maintain this, it will also deplete my mental power greatly after a long time, so you better hurry up. ”

She held the hard-working little cat woman and a female team member with poor physical strength in her arms, and urged the team members.

"Merlin seems to have discovered something."

After running for a while, Sadonan suddenly spoke.

Everyone looked forward, only to see Merlin in the air with a frightened face, and kept gesturing to this side.

"Found the enemy?"

Abner didn't know much about this sign language, and he became nervous, grabbed the big shield he was carrying in his hand, and drew his broadsword.

"No, it's not an enemy, he just looks like he's just getting nervous."

Sado South Road:

"I'll go to the front and take a look."

"--It's a building!"

His speed was quite fast, and he immediately sent a signal to this side:

"There's a big building hidden inside the oasis!"

"Oh no, did someone occupy this area first?"

Hearing this news, Xia's heart suddenly sank:

"Impossible? The sea of fog and the air are insurmountable moats for all pioneers, and I still found my way here by cheating, how could someone get ahead of me? ”

The spells she created worked so well that everyone was several times more efficient in the shade, and it didn't take long for them to reach the edge of the oasis.

"Stop."

Xia stopped everyone from getting closer, pulled out the godfall dagger at his waist, and slowly walked inside.

In fact, the perimeter of this oasis is not large, but the trees are very high, obscuring the view, which makes people mistakenly think that it is an unfathomable jungle.

She walked less than a kilometer before she crossed the trees to a clear lake, and in the middle of the lake she could see a vast island in the middle of the lake.

There are high fences on the island, and these erected metal fences are more than ten meters long, and they look extremely strong, almost like the parapet walls of a castle.

"Spiked fence?"

Natsu looked at the metal spikes at the top of the fence with some strange eyes, a retro-style defense that was rare even in some small towns, and only very poor villages would fence off their settlements with sharpened wood and spears as something to protect the villagers.

But...... The fences in those villages aren't that staggering!

If these fences were strong enough, they could be used to defend against the attacks of large demonic beasts, and even the walls of ordinary cities were not so high.

"What's that, a city? Built on an island? ”

Albert looked around in wonder:

"Was there a war in this neighborhood before? There is such a thing. ”

"I suspect it's the lair of some powerful monster that has taken over the city built by humans and eaten up all the people inside...... It's like in myths and legends. ”

Merlin said nervously, looking frightened.

"Don't scare yourself, there are no monsters in there, if there is really a strong enemy, Erin will definitely find a way to leave a mark and tell me, this is my order."

Xia said disapprehantly.

"Maybe it's eaten even the mark."

Merlin's Tooth Fight to:

"I once read a novel......"

"Xueqian?"

Natsu stole an inquiring glance at the Flame Goddess.

"The powerful native gods have all lost their powers, just like me and Bud."

Xue Qian shook her head and said:

"I let Bud occupy the scorching land, not here, and it can't enter the sea of fog, so it can't be it."

"If it's just a normal monster, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Xia was the first to fly into the air:

"You stay here, I'll go over and take a look first, and I'll call you when I'm sure it's okay."

"--I'm going too."

The werewolf princess was very active this time, jumped on top of Xia Fei after she got up, hugged her tightly, and refused to let go.

"Okay, don't go down easily, this lake is very deep, I'm afraid there is something in the water."

Natsu took her all the way to the island in the center of the lake, the process was very calm, not a single bubble could be seen in the lake, and there were no spears or arrows shooting out of the castle-like building, and the two of them entered the fence without hindrance.

"Bangbang!"

The werewolf princess tried knocking on the fences and found that the fences, without exception, were made of unknown metal.

"In addition to the railings, there is also a net."

Natsu touched the moss-covered and dusty areas, revealing a dark metal mesh underneath.

"These nets don't seem to be very strong, and I think I can break them with a little force."

The werewolf princess grabbed the mesh and shook it a few times, and the dirt on it fell in a row, but fortunately she moved quickly and hurriedly dodged it, and finally did not fall on her white hair.

"You're now at the top of the ranks of the New World, and these fences and nets are clearly built to deal with something else."

Xia found a rooftop with the best view and jumped up, and his spirit covered the surrounding area for several kilometers, and he didn't find any hostile mental fluctuations, so he jumped down again.

"Come on."

She beckoned into the distance:

"Remember, don't go near the surface of the water, let the magician fly you here!"

……

"This metal ...... It is supposed to be refined from a new ore discovered here by the Imperials, and there is no name yet. ”

Albert, who was a keen student of minerals, saw the strange color of the metal fence, scraped a piece of it on the railing with his broadsword, stuck out his tongue and licked it, and identified the origin in this strange way:

"The empire listed it as one of the embargoed items...... Because of the excellent texture of this metal, the armor made from it is difficult to be penetrated by sharp weapons, and it has good tenacity after being thinned, and it can be used as a net to catch giant monsters, and it can also be used as a rope, which will never break as easily as an ordinary rope. ”

"How can there be such a hard and soft metal, don't bluff people."

Merlin looked around in horror and said:

"The two of us have done so much business in Faenns, and we've never seen anything like it."

"So, that's in Faenns! And here, it's the New World! ”

Ebner pushed back in annoyance:

"You know what? I've always thought that magicians who don't know alchemy are not doing their jobs, and you can't even understand the materials for conducting magic, and you dare to discuss metals with me here! ”

"Let's go into a group of five and spread out to see if there are any suitable houses for camping."

Leaving the two of them noisy there, Natsu said to the others:

"Everyone should be tired, hold on a little longer...... This kind of wild day and night environment is often very different, and we need to prepare a place to sleep at night. (To be continued.) )
