A hysterical scream pierced through the silence of the woods and resounded through the valley.

Tarrant opened his eyes suddenly, turned over, drew his sword, defended, and completed it in an instant, and a huge brown bear sat on the grass, staring at the stunned Katrina, with a glimmer of glint in his gray eyes.

"I'm sorry to scare you," Kitty stepped out from behind the brown bear, her size was the size of a brown bear's arm, "it's my friend." ”

"Friend......" Tarrant put away his sword and helped the frightened mage up, "Are you alright?"

Katrina regained her senses, closed her mouth stiffly and swallowed, "Kitty, how did you do that?"

"We all grew up together in the forest, friends", Kitty leaned softly against the brown bear, wrapped in fur, "it's comfortable, let's try it", she held out her hand to Katrina, "they're all friendly." ”

"I don't want it, a strange smell", the wild animals all had a fishy smell, and Katrina grabbed her nose.

"Let's get on our way", Rex was also woken up by the scream, got up and tidied up, and began to urge to get on the road.

It wasn't dark yet, and in the evening, Taran's character asked, "Are you ready to go on your way, mage?" ”

"Yes, it's okay", Katrina reluctantly slapped the grass clippings on her body, and the soles of her feet were still sore after standing up.

Kitty gently rubbed the brown bear's head, "We're leaving, be careful." ”

The brown bear let out a low whimper and waved his hand at Kitty.

The psychic creature said goodbye to its friend with its limbs, and Kitty waved at it and walked towards the woods, "Tarrant, go this way." ”

"Yes. The team followed the druids and continued on their way.

It was a little early in the night in the woods, and the view was poor, and after about half an hour of travel, Tarrant and Rex lit torches.

Kitty pointed to the right, "Half an hour to the right, we can reach our other camp, and continue on to that temple." ”

There was little point in going to the camp, and since no one had ever been to the temple, it meant that there was no one to provide valid information, so Tarrant chose to go directly to the temple, "Go ahead." ”

"Okay", Kitty continued, she was used to seeing at night and could move forward without torches.

The woods they were in now were all tall trees, sticking straight into the ground, branches stretching up regularly, and there were no coiled roots on the ground, so they didn't have to worry about headbutting or stumbling, and the speed was a little faster than last night.

Kitty led the way as she introduced the types of trees around her, she knew more about the woods than the other three combined, and there was no trace of tiredness on her face.

Remembering the events of the morning, Tarrant asked, "Is it true that the messenger of your camp is after a team of four?"

Kitty looked back and replied suspiciously, "Yes, their attempt to desecrate our land was discovered and stopped by the Ranger in time. ”

"That team doesn't care about forgiveness anymore. ”

"Have you seen that team?" Kitty didn't know what had happened in the morning before she reached the camp before she left.

"We've bumped into each other, what did they do?"

"Attempts were made to poison our streams, and if they succeeded, the camps and animals downstream were in danger of dying. ”

"Oh", Tarrant frowned and thought, poisoning the stream, it seems that there is no gain, they can't be here to poison the animals, they can only deal with the balance messenger, but that is not practical, they should have been instructed to do so, and now that the four of them have sent their lives in the forest, the mastermind behind the scenes is free.

The fog slowly rose in the woods, the field of vision narrowed, and the four of them closed the distance.

Kitty's pace slowed, "We're almost at the temple, and the woods in the area near the temple have been shrouded in white mist. ”

The atmosphere was eerie, the white mist in front of her seemed to rush towards the walker's face like life, and after only a few minutes of walking, his face was damp, Tarrant wiped the cold dew from his face, and the torch reached out to Katrina to ward off the surrounding damp for her.

There was a crisp cracking sound under his feet, it was a dead leaf, the woods a few miles away were still green, but at this moment the ground was full of dead leaves and broken branches, Tarrant looked at the trees walking beside him, the bark was brown and split, it seemed to have long since died, he looked up, the fog was cloudy, and he vaguely saw a few bare branches.

"Is there anything out of the ordinary?" he asked Rex.

"No," Rex replied succinctly, staring at the road beneath his feet.

The woods were a little different from the natural ones, with an air of decay and death, and the thick mist covered the cracks of the metal with dewdrops, and Tarrant shook off his armor and continued on his way.

Kitty's speed slowed down significantly, and instead of walking in the front alone, she retreated to Tarrant's side, the three of them side by side, Rex walked at the end of the line, the two torches swayed and struggled in the white mist, the air was too damp, and if it was extinguished here, the team would not be able to fire again.

A black, lumpy building appeared in front of him, and Tarrant's torch stretched forward, still with no vision, and he leaned closer to Kitty, "Is that there?"

"I don't know......," Ji Ti stopped uncontrollably, "I haven't been here...... It's just a matter of knowing the approximate location. ”

"Good...... Fear...... Fear...... Ahh

"Let's go over and see," Tarrant was the first to step out and walk forward bravely, the two ladies following him.

The outline of the black building gradually became clear, and a small space was a small house.

The exterior of the hut was made of black wood, now damp and rotten, and looked like it had been burned by fire, and the dew dripping from the eaves of the house formed a small pool under the corner, and the door of the hut was fitted with a rusty lock that had grown moss to connect the lock to the wooden door, and the windows of the house were covered with a black dirt that had lost its light.

Katrina grabbed Tarrant's arm, "Shall we go in? It's like a ...... Haunted houses. ”

Kitty stood by Katrina's side, and although she didn't say anything, her expression was just as worried.

Rex walked through the three of them to the wooden door, chanted a spell in a low voice, and the white energy balls converged and dispersed, "No undead can be detected." ”

That shouldn't have anything to do with the temple, "Let's see," Tarrant handed the torch to Kitty, stepped forward to wipe the moss off the lock, and a handful of bronze embroidered gray, he pulled it hard, and the iron chain attached to the root of the copper tool broke into several pieces and collided with the wooden door and fell to the ground with a "scandium and scandium" sound.

The deathly quiet environment suddenly made this rusty sound, and Catrina shuddered, and quickly followed behind Tarrant, almost clinging, "Do you have to go in?"

"You can wait here", Tarrant stepped into the hut, Rex followed, Kitty's torch quickly followed, and Catrina lost the courage to hesitate and ran into the hut.

The room was rudimentary, with a grayish-brown rotten table, a three-legged chair on the floor, the other leg on the side, a wooden bed and a dark desk against the wall.

Someone had lived here, Tarrant walked over to the table and knocked down on the furniture, it was old, but not as far back as the "origins", and the building was not in the style of the elves, it was an ordinary wild roosting hut, placed elsewhere in the woods, perhaps the residence of some ranger.

Rex looked around, "There are no furnishings, the exterior walls are rough, this is a temporary house, there is no food and water in the house, the owner has left after emptying, judging from the quality and appearance of the tables and chairs, he should be a ranger who is used to harsh conditions." ”

The Ranger was satisfied with just giving the furniture a rough look, and their field hut was usually the kind of furniture with broken legs, and Tarrant nodded in agreement, "It's not the entrance to the temple, let's go." ”

"Look there," Kitty said to the desk by the wall, "a book." ”

"Book?" the three of them walked over, it was indeed a book, very thin, the cover was covered with dust, and it blended into the desk, and if you didn't distinguish it carefully, it would be mistaken for a piece of dirt raised from the desk.

Kitty blew off the dust, revealing nothing on the cover, and she tried to turn the first page, but the dew glued all the pages together, so she had to turn to the middle page at random, and read intermittently:

"Or ...... There is a ...... found Law, that door is ...... as a whole, even if you try all ...... Probably neither...... It worked, I ...... it all It's already full of scars, and if you continue to make mistakes, you can only give up...... in. ”

It was a diary, and Kitty looked up and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"Perhaps, this Ranger is looking for an entrance, an entrance that needs to be activated by a mechanism," Tarrant guessed with this small paragraph.

"Look at the previous account," Rex said.

Kitty tried to turn the previous page, but couldn't separate it, and the first few pages became a paste-like page, and she turned it forward:

"Today...... Letters correspond to the ...... on the door Hair...... Quantitatively...... Compliant, puzzling, not ...... Try and it will only .........

......... Let me be ...... Words that are implied by some kind of text...... That one...... period, it should be ...... Classical Chinese...... Too negligent......"

The handwriting in the middle and tail sections was all stained unrecognizable, and Kitty wondered, "Could it be the ancient language of the 'Origin' period, where the Ranger is exploring the temple?"

"This possibility is not ruled out", Tarrant admitted.

Kitty flipped to the back of the diary and continued:

“...... Succeed...... When both sides ...... Go out...... I'll definitely be able to start it...... Bright...... I could have thought about it a long time ago...... The art of illusion, admirable and ......"

The Ranger seemed to have found a way, and Tarrant put the torch in his notebook, "Look at the back, how to open that door." ”

"Yes", Kitty turned the page back:

"I'm too stupid...... Occur...... Let's go, start the ...... Enough food ......"

Before she could finish reading it, the diary glowed slightly, there was a situation! Tarrant grabbed Kitty's hand and pulled her away, Rex and Katrina also hurriedly retreated, and the bright light of the diary suddenly flickered, forming a huge flame, raging along the four edges of the book in a box-like shape, like a conscious elf burning passion, reflecting everyone's stunned faces, only a few seconds later, the diary and the desktop completed the fusion, a pile of black ash.

Katrina looked at her three teammates incredulously, "...... Demon Fire ......?"
