No amount of bright moonlight could illuminate the forest in the dark night, so Daniel Ryder walked in the direction of the plane tree, still thinking about the dream he had had had before, and before he knew it, he walked into the forest.

When Daniel came back to his senses, he found that he was a little confused. Just as he hesitated, he suddenly sent out two deep rut marks on the weeds under his feet.

Daniel sensed something strange and crouched down to take a closer look. The rut is not new, but the weeds have not regrown. These crushing marks make people feel that the cars passing here must be loaded with heavy things.

After looking at it, Daniel looked into the distance and sensed that something seemed to be hidden in the entire forest. So, Daniel took his "stick" from his waist and carefully followed the marks on the grass.

When he walked to the place where the traces had disappeared, he realized that he had come to the bottom of the hillside. The huge plane tree stood tall at the top.

Daniel walked up the hill to the plane tree, and walked back and forth without seeing anything unusual. Standing on the hillside and looking down, there was nothing but the dense forest.

Seeing a large white rock beside him, Daniel stepped forward and sat down on it. Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Daniel smiled and said silently in his heart, "What! Probably really nothing. ”

As his eyes fell, his gaze spilled in the direction of the Western Fortress. The towering walls of the Western Fort are even more majestic from here, and there are three rooms in this majestic building that can be clearly seen.

One of them was the house Daniel had just rested in. And the other two houses are also lit up.

Daniel felt doubts in his heart, but he didn't know where the confusion was, and another gust of wind blew. Daniel felt a little cold and stood up from the stone.

As he stood up, his gaze couldn't help but glance at the huge stone. He touched it with his hand and knocked it with his hand. The stone made a dull sound.

Daniel suddenly saw that the soil at the bottom of the stone was very flat. The whole stone feels like it was placed on the top. Sensing that something was wrong, Daniel hurriedly pushed the large rock with all his might.

Soon the stone was pushed and displaced, and a hole appeared in front of Daniel. Daniel's eyes lit up, and he pushed the stone away with all his might, revealing space that could accommodate one person in and out.

Feeling that the cave could accommodate himself, Daniel found a stone from the side and went down from the hole. Soon the sound of stones smashing things was heard.

So he took the "stick" in his hand and bit his finger with his mouth. He pressed his bleeding finger to the "stick", and in an instant the "stick" glowed brightly.

By the light, Daniel jumped out of the cave without hesitation. When he got to the hole, Daniel lit up the surroundings with the "stick" in his hand and looked around. I was instantly stunned by what I saw.

The space the size of a house was littered with bones, and there were countless on the walls and floor. Daniel's feet are the highest point of these bone piles.

Seeing this, Daniel hurriedly clenched his hands, and the "stick" in his hand changed shape with his own force. The two ends showed their pointed ends and burst into yellow flames, taking the shape of spears.

As the light brightened, the situation in the entire cave became clearer. Daniel took a closer look at the bones and found that there were many types of bones, and they were of all kinds of creatures.

Just as Daniel looked carefully at the bones under his feet, he felt a voice appear behind him. Daniel quickly turned around, only to see a dark figure rushing out from behind him.

Daniel quickly dodged the black shadow and shone it at the black shadow with the "wooden stick" in his hand. I saw a man covered in long hair standing in front of him, standing there trembling with his hand blocking the light.

"Who are you?" Daniel asked the man, turning to the man.

The man stood motionless, and suddenly he took his hand away, and his face showed red eyes. With a leap of his body, he flew close to the wall and circled around Daniel. From time to time, find a gap to attack Daniel's back.

No matter what Daniel said, the man didn't seem to respond. This caused Daniel to lose his patience, and he found the right time to stab the hairy man in the leg with his gun, and then stabbed the important joint several times with great speed.

The long-haired man continued to attack Daniel in pain, which made Daniel interested in him. He took the gun in his hand and slitted his left arm, and as the blood flowed out, Daniel flicked a few rays of light from the spear.

These rays of light blocked the haired man's hands and feet, making him immobile for a while. As the hairy man struggled, Daniel approached with his spear in hand and took a closer look.

Judging by the hairy man's expression, it seemed that he did not feel pain. And there was no blood running from his wounds.

Seeing such a situation, Daniel couldn't help but gasp. As he pondered what was going on, he noticed a ring on the man's hand.

At this moment, the hairy man suddenly began to grow thick on all fours. Instantly broke free of Daniel's shackles and hit Daniel at once.

Daniel didn't dodge, only felt a pain in his abdomen. Hurriedly fought back with the spear in his hand, and the hairy man quickly dodged.

The hairy man with blood on his hands frantically added blood to his tongue. Daniel clutched his abdomen and took a few steps backwards and fell in front of the pile of bones.

Seeing the bones behind him, Daniel smiled and said, "It seems that these are your masterpieces! ”

With that, Daniel placed the spear on his wound. The blood that flowed from the wound pooled onto the spear, and Daniel stood up as he watched the spear in his hand flame even more intensely.

According to the long-haired man, it was a shot, and a huge pillar of fire instantly surrounded the long-haired man. The hairy man in the flames was still scurrying around, but soon stopped moving.

Daniel covered his wounds and walked over to the hairy man's corpse. At this time, the hairy man had been burned to a charred black shape. Flicking the corpse with the spear in his hand, Daniel found the ring he had been caring about.

The ring did not melt because of the fire, but gave it a new luster. Holding the ring in his hand, Daniel felt the spear in his hand begin to dim in light.

At the same time, his head began to heavily, so he hurriedly put the ring in his waist pocket and crawled out of the hole.

After crawling out of the hole, Daniel used his spear to set a fire there, watching as the flames grew larger. Daniel endured the pain and followed the same path as he prepared to return to the Western Fortress.

On the city walls, the Brown Knight did not leave here even a single step. He looked into the distance with a pale face, and by this time he had already seen the whole process of Daniel entering the cave and coming out again.

He clutched his sword tightly in his hand, waiting for Daniel's return. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Daniel to run back. Brown hurriedly ordered the rope to be thrown down.

After lowering the rope, Daniel followed the rope up the rampart. After climbing the wall, Daniel lay on the ground and pretended to gasp for air to hide the pain of his injury.

The Brown Knight hurried over to help him up. I saw that Daniel's face was full of dust and he looked haggard. Brown opened his eyes wide and asked, "What's going on?" Your face isn't very good. ”

Daniel noticed Brown's expression, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I wanted to see the huge tree." But I didn't expect that there were still wild leopards in the jungle. By the time I found out, I was surrounded by the beasts. It wasn't for protection, so I lit a fire over there. to scare them away. ”

Hearing this, Brown Knight smiled and said, "Then you're really lucky." It is possible to escape from among the beasts. ”

"Oh, you won't forget my strength, will you!" said Daniel, picking up the spear in his hand.

Seeing the glowing spear, Brown ducked backwards. He knew how powerful the weapon was, and he knew Daniel's character.

Seeing that Brown didn't behave, Daniel sneered and said, "I'm feeling a little tired, so I'll go back first." After saying that, he went to the room where he rested alone.

On the wall, Brown saw Daniel's back in the distance, hammered the wall with his hand, and casually said, "Bastard! ”

Back in the room, Daniel closed the door tightly. I came back to the window and looked at the huge plane tree in the distance. The fire gradually faded, and the black smoke continued to rise.

Daniel sat back in his chair and took the crumpled scroll from his body and spread it out again. As he opened the scroll, he took the ring from his waist. It is a simple-looking ring with several circular patterns on the large ring.

While looking at the ring closely, Daniel finally saw a similar pattern to the ring in the middle and back of the scroll. And next to this pattern are written complex ancient characters.

Dangdang, someone knocked on Daniel's door. Daniel immediately put away the ring and scroll in his hand. Daniel opened the door and looked out, and found that the person outside was none other than his right-hand man, Augustine.

Daniel quickly let Augustine in and looked out again. Seeing that no one had noticed, he quickly closed the door.

When the door was closed, Augustine handed Daniel a scroll and said, "My lord, we have found out everything about this area. Indeed, there is more than one road to the Ovan area. But all are too dangerous, and only the Western Fortress is the best place to pass. ”

"You mean those Ovans only have one road to the Western Fortress!" said Daniel, looking at Augustine.

"Yes, and we are in the northern region, and we have found traces of Ovan passing by. There is a good chance that they will come back again from here. I've set up people there. Augustine said.

After Augustine finished speaking, Daniel pondered for a moment and said, "Oh, that's right. I have something else to gain this time. It seems necessary for us to enter the area of Ovan in a big way. There are a lot of secrets to dig up here. ”

"But we don't have the strength yet, and the Duke will definitely not agree to do this. Augustine said.

"Yes, I know that. But for now, we still have to concentrate on dealing with these Ovans. They can't be easily returned to where they came from. Daniel said.

"Then I'll go first, and I'll be waiting for you outside the fortress. You still don't want to stay here for too long. Augustine said.

"I know, you have to look at which guys, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. Daniel said. Augustine handed Daniel a scroll and quietly left.

When Augustine was gone, Daniel put the scroll on the table, carefully lifted his clothes, and saw that the blood on the wound had coagulated, he took some medicine from his pocket and simply applied it to it, and lay down on the bed in pain.

Shortly after lying in bed, Daniel fell asleep. Just as he had fallen asleep, Brown Knight stood and walked outside his door. He tried to push the door open but gave up and turned away.

The next morning, Daniel felt much better. He found Brown, who was patrolling the city walls, and said that he wanted to leave. Brown didn't stop him, but personally sent Daniel out of the Western Fortress.

Shortly after Daniel left, a red-haired young man approached the Brown Knight and whispered, "Sir, the cave has been destroyed." No rings found. ”

Brown waved the man back down and walked into the commander's hall alone. A letter was written on the desk and sent out in carrier pigeons.

Daniel, who walked out of the Western Fortress, opened the scroll left by Augustine, with a location marked on it. Arriving at this location, Daniel found the army that had set up an ambush here.

The soldiers in the army greeted Daniel with a smile when they saw him return.
