In the inaccessible Eastern Wastelands, a mysterious hunting party is ushered in.

Outwardly, this team has all the hallmarks of an elite hunting team.

The rear trailer has large scary metal shackles, enough to block the movement of giant monsters for a short time; The various large-caliber guns carried behind the team members, as well as the rows of special ammunition on the gun-carrying figures, all illustrate the strength of this team.

However, the team has no flags, and the members do not have any marks representing any forces, so it is impossible to tell where they came from.

"Start in this place and keep going."

The guide at the front looked at the map and said:

"Not far away is the Kashale Grand Canyon, and when you get there, follow the canyon crack and go north, and you can reach the upper reaches of the Crocodile River, and below the cliff is the sea of fog."

"It's your pay."

A stocky shield warrior took a bag of coins and said to the guide and the two men behind him:

"You can go back, and further there is a danger zone, and we can't guarantee your safety."

"Lord Abner, you're so polite."

The guide flipped the purse, smiled on his face, and gestured to the two:

"This trip is not far, and the leader of your team is amazingly strong, leading us to avoid most dangers, almost no battles along the way, and the reward is so generous......"

"You deserve it."

Ebner patted the money bag in his hand:

"It's the first time we've hunted here, and it's thanks to you that you didn't go the wrong way."

The three rode on a monster that was good at running long distances, and went back happily without mentioning it; Feeling his deflated bag, Ebner walked to the leader in an earthy yellow trench coat with a bitter face, and asked in a low voice:

"Captain, we've run out of money at the last of our penny...... What now? ”

"Follow the route he said, let's go to the canyon first."

The leader slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of beautiful black pupils, looked at the huge crack in the distance and said:

"Then find a corner where no one else can see, and let someone who knows wind magic transport the team members down one by one, and continue north along the river below."

"But...... I've heard that the Sea of Fog is a very dangerous place. ”

Albert moved his throat and said with some concern:

"It should be safer to approach the canyon, I've heard of that green fog for a long time, once the wind direction changes, we will have nowhere to escape from the canyon, and we will definitely run into it."

"Wind? That thing can't blow this fog. ”

The Pathfinder chuckled:

"I have my own arrangements for this matter, you don't care, I will definitely not harm everyone."

Abner didn't dare to stare when she laughed, and hurriedly turned his head, because the smile was so lethal that even familiar people didn't have much immunity.

"Rest assured, dwarf."

The werewolf princess walked between the two with a smile and said to Abner:

"I'll definitely protect you when you get to the front, and you don't have to worry about any accidents at all."

"Haha, with the double assurance of the wolf god and the captain, I am naturally convinced."

Seeing her say this, Abner patted the back of his head in embarrassment and turned back to the group.

"Of course, I'll protect you, stinky vampire."

The werewolf princess flicked her tail proudly, squinted at Wendy on the side and said:

"But you'd better settle down and don't move around when you get in...... Otherwise, don't blame me for accidentally dying. ”

"Alright, Deria."

The Pathfinder hurriedly stopped her defiant words and said to the two:

"It's not time to feel at ease yet, there should be someone secretly watching our team, and it's best not to make any eye-catching moves."

"You should say this to her, you don't have to say it to me."

Wendy said coldly:

"But why are you pretending to be a hunting party? And it's a waste of money to get so much equipment, isn't it good to say that we are a pioneering team? The continent is full of such people. ”

"For ordinary people, this is an area where dangerous monsters are entrenched, and it is not suitable as a place to explore."

The Pathfinder took off his hat, revealing long, silky silver hair:

"Your strength is too strong...... It is impossible to distinguish the level of this monster, the ones in the wasteland are fine, the guys in the canyon need at least a whole army to be able to deal with; Moreover, the terrain around here is complex, and the number of monsters lurking is amazing, which is completely unsuitable for building a development camp. ”

She stretched out her hand and pointed to two locations:

"The northwest of the Frestia continent is a cold snow field with no edge in sight, and it is difficult to find supplies, plus the monsters there are particularly fierce, and large sleigh carts are easily destroyed by them, so it has always been a forbidden place for pioneers."

"The northeast is a hot place...... There was neither food nor enough water, and the average person simply could not survive there, so naturally there was no idea of a pioneer team to fight there. ”

She put her hand down:

"At the end of this Grand Canyon in front of us is the Sea of Fog, the center of the continent, with the precipitous mountains surrounding the Decay to the west, and the old harbor to the east, which has been reduced to a lair of monsters...... No one wants to be near these places, so it makes the most sense for us as hunting parties to approach here. ”

"It's boring to say so much, don't you just want to prove your point of view right."

The vampire girl walked away with her arms crossed.

"Deria, are you sure you can control those fogs 100%?"

After she left, Xia gently touched the werewolf princess's big tail, and the fluffy touch was very good:

"Don't make any mistakes later, everyone's fate is in your hands."

"Ever since that giant guardian imbued me, I feel like the lord of that green mist."

Deliya's body stiffened for a moment, and her tail was still her sensitive part, and then it slowly relaxed:

"Rest assured, I can easily control every bit of fog with my mind, and I won't let it come into contact with the team."

"Well, don't forget to seal the entrance as soon as everyone is inside."

Xia symbolically admonished, and blue light shot out of his eyes, and he began to probe the situation around him.

The unseen fluctuations centered on her body, rippling in circles like ripples, covering a range of about several kilometers, and then fed back one by one, and the situation in her mind was clearly configured.

"There is a malicious fluctuation on the left, let's avoid it and go to the right, there should be a small path there."

She began to guide the path of the team, and unlike the guide who was responsible for guiding the general direction, this profession that led everyone to avoid danger was the leader, and her psychic sense showed a powerful effect at this time.

……

"Hey, it's not night yet, why is there such a sound?"

Some adventurers with weapons gathered around the campfire, and they all heard a cry that seemed to cry and scream, which made people shudder even in the daytime.

"This is the edge of the lava basin, and the route we took is right close to Tarragona, so it's strange to hear strange noises."

One of the mercenaries, who looked experienced, snorted and threw a piece of wood into the campfire.

"Tarragona? Why are we going to this hellish place? ”

The companion beside him said in fear:

"The view here is very open, so you don't have to walk to the side......"

"Go in the middle? Do you want those mutated monsters to eat you? ”

The mercenary said disdainfully:

"There are often cries of unjust souls in Tarragona, and rumors of approaching passers-by being bewitched in; But who are we? The undetermined guy has already died in the previous exploration, will he still be confused by some undead? ”

"We were able to rest early today because we found a hot boulder as a resting place, so we don't have to worry about freezing again at night."

The man in the form of a leader stood up by the fire and said to the people,

"We're not really close to the scorching heat, so the nights at the edge of the basin are still cold, don't be careless, the rumors of that ghost prison are true, and my former companion became one of those unjust souls out of curiosity."

"—No one should go near there alone, see? Hurry to bed when you're full! ”

As the men were about to rest, two shadows appeared in the distant sky.

"Congratulations, another batch of good material."

One of the shadows said in a hoarse voice:

"I'm a little curious, how do you usually capture them? Or is it still the same old-fashioned method? ”

"Until I think of a way to deal with the guys in the Forest of God, I can only use this way to obtain experimental materials."

Another shadow says:

"It's the safest way to ......"

The man's voice sounded very strange, some like metal instruments rubbing, and even a small "pop" sound, like grit and rock colliding.

"I'm here to deliver bad news to you, Albert."

Primal Shadow says:

"The Ancient Dragon...... The dragon god showed up and took our target with him. ”

After hearing this, a heavy pant sounded.

"Why?"

The shadow known as Albert gasped for a few breaths and said angrily:

"Our plans can't be exposed unless the two of us betray each other!"

It suddenly turned its face, revealing two terrifying eyes in the gloomy space:

"Keith, can you tell me...... Why would the dragon god risk breaking the contract and suddenly save two princesses who did not have a lot of blood on their bodies? Isn't it afraid of getting into trouble for itself? ”

"Don't worry, I have good news...... The good news in this bad news is that it only takes one target, and that is the little princess Dolinda. ”

Keith laughed:

"It's been too long since you didn't care about human society, but that's okay, just ask the souls of these people in a while, and they should tell you the latest rumors."

"I'll do that."

Albert said sympathetically:

"—But it must be after you explain it to me yourself!"

"Don't worry, my old fellow."

Keith gestured with his fingers and replied briefly:

"There's a menacing demon army attacking the new port of Joinflo, but it's just a façade...... Their target is our adorable little princess, who is said to be led by a high succubus, perhaps by a certain abyss lord who saw the hunt and took action against the transformed young dragon. ”

"A high-level succubus, this is very rare material."

Albert's voice became intrigued:

"So what happened to the succubus? Aroused the wrath of the dragon god, I'm afraid she has already been torn to shreds, right? ”

"I wish there was some scrap of flesh left." He lamented:

"Succubi themselves are just slaves and food for some powerful demons, but the high-ranking characters among them are different, not only cunning and proficient in all kinds of illusions, but also able to silently sneak into dreams to bewitch and assassinate, even the lesser gods have been killed by them."

"If you want to have another high-ranking demon, the price you pay will be heavy."

Keith interrupted his speculation:

"And there's no need to ...... Because soon we will have the strongest combat power in the world, and compared to this matter, other things are just some foils. ”

"You don't understand the pride of an alchemist."

Albert shook his finger disapprovingly:

"We believe in every detail...... And firmly believe that even a grain of sand hides secrets, big or small; Strong, or weak, that's not what we care about. ”

"Well, you alchemist maniac."

Keith let out a low laugh:

"It's like the original ...... In the same way, completely ignoring the current situation, just obsessed with her own research, even death can't make her put down the work in hand. ”

"Don't mention them to me."

Albert's voice suddenly cooled:

"Tell me about the succubus you just mentioned, was she trampled to death by a raging dragon, or was she beaten and caught?"

"I don't know."

Keith replied:

"I don't dare approach the dragon...... Naturally, I don't know what happened, except that most of the forest there was destroyed, and that there was a human camp burned to ashes by the flames. ”

"The dragon god made a move against humans?"

Albert asked with great interest:

"Are you sure?"

"All I saw was an empty camp, and there were no bodies in it."

Keith replied:

"But maybe the dragon flame destroyed them...... Who knows? Even if the dragon clan decides to tear up the alliance and attack the continent, it has little to do with the two of us. ”

"You're such a heartless fellow."

Albert didn't dwell on this either:

"In that case, we're going to change our plans......"

The two of them didn't use voice again, and their bodies slowly disappeared into the shadows, and after a while, the area returned to normal again, as if nothing had appeared, except for the evening wind whimpering.

……

"How's our advance team?"

Xia frowned and asked:

"It's been a few days, why hasn't there been news yet?"

There was more than one path to the back of the Sea of Fog, including the tunnel dug by the Deathwalkers, but since this path was not accessible to too many people, she sent only a team as the vanguard.

"With Gladyse exploring the path with Erin, there shouldn't be any problem."

Xue Qian floated beside her and whispered:

"Actually, you should have sent me......"

This flame goddess wants to be with little Lori all the time, and it's best never to be separated.

"Your goal is too obvious, what we need most at the moment is covert operation."

Xia looked worriedly in the direction of the sea of fog:

"Gladys is strong enough now, and she's good at stealing her aura, and with Erin's help, it's not dangerous, I'm worried about the others."

"Those people aren't very combative, but they're good for camp."

Abner said behind her:

"And to be faithful and reliable – that's the most important thing."

"If you don't go deep into the new area, there's no problem with security, I'm sure of that; Because I once double-checked that place. ”

Xia didn't say anything more, she just had to do what she had to do.

After all, as a team leader, you can't do everything yourself, otherwise what else do you need others to do?

"It's a nice place to obscure the view below."

Merlin, who was flying in the air, reported:

"I suggest we go down here."

"Wait a minute."

Natsu, Wendy, Delia, and Xue Qian came to a place with a wide field of vision and looked into the distance.

On the left is a decaying earth shrouded in a gloomy sky, exuding an ominous atmosphere everywhere, and on the right is a bleak ruin, surrounded by the wreckage of ships, in which dark shadows can often be seen, apparently something is hidden in it.

And directly in front of them, there was a strange green mist with no end in sight, and the surrounding light was distorted and absorbed by the mist, and at first glance it was thought to be a large surging dark cloud.

"It's a creepy place."

Wendy's body is currently controlled by the student council president, and she can't help but hug her shoulders tightly, feeling a little chilly.

Hearing her sister's exclamation, Al who had been following a few people also came over, and when she saw the scene in front of her, she covered her mouth and didn't make a sound for a long time.

"These fogs, while terrifying to others, are a natural umbrella for us."

Approaching the destination, Xia finally revealed his tone and told everyone the secret:

"You should all already know that after returning from the Path of the End, Deria has gained the power of a divine giant; And in this green mist is hidden the artifact of the giant clan, and the mist is emitted by that artifact. ”

"It's not our goal, it's our retreat."

She took a step forward and stepped on a raised rock:

"We're targeting a brand new area behind the Sea of Fog, and this place is the last refuge, and I personally hope it won't be used...... Because that means we're at the end of our ropes. ”

"So when you get down there, you can rest assured to follow me."

The werewolf princess was optimistic, wagging her tail and laughing:

"I will never let you get hurt...... However, Xia; What are you trying to do with us here? (To be continued.) )
