Phoenix stood on the shore of the lake, her figure reflected in the clear water, and the three adventurers who were tied up with flowers. The adventurer is half-cut into the water by Phoenix, believing that the cold waters of the lake help them regain their senses.

It's just that Phoenix still doesn't understand why she bothered to do such a thing, and it would be a hundred times easier to throw these humans into the lake and drown. If Lin Qiu hadn't kept interrogating these three people, she would have done it a long time ago.

"It's for Alyssa. Lin Qiu explained.

Phoenix was even more confused.

First of all, she dared to guarantee that Alyssa did not know these three people, and secondly, in Phoenix's opinion, Alyssa was by no means an absolutely kind person, and she adhered to all the virtues of a church knight, but the monster's intuition allowed her to faintly discover the "demon" hidden in Alyssa's heart.

Phoenix still trusts his instincts more.

"Blind student, you have discovered Huadian again. However, Lin Qiu's mood when she said this was completely different from the last time, obviously Alyssa had seen something before, but she herself didn't want to mention it. In addition, these adventurers babble that the Emerald Forest is haunted, and the ghosts of the past can be seen here.

He needed to know more details.

"You humans are really troublesome, if you have anything to do with Alyssa, go directly to her and ask her to understand!" Although Phoenix was very impatient, he still showed his pair of dragon horns according to Lin Qiu's instructions, and the dragon wings behind him opened to the sides, and two sharp teeth were exposed.

She tried to make herself as vicious as she could.

"Asking her at such times will not yield any results, and for whatever reason, Alyssa has no intention of telling us what she has seen, so at this time, intelligent humans will take a curvilinear approach to saving the country. Lin Qiu knew that what he said might be too complicated for Phoenix. Although Phoenix has lived for so many years, her emotional system is still simple to the extent of "hammer him if you hate him, and pester him if you like him".

Lin Qiu tried to explain something more complicated for her.

When you really care about someone, you don't have to tell them how you feel, and sometimes this directness can be counterproductive.

It seems that it will take quite some time for Phoenix to understand it.

Well, in fact, Lin Qiu himself didn't understand much, he used to only fiddle with electronic devices, and only the sentences appropriated from the movie could better explain his mood.

The three adventurers seemed to be about to be woken up, so Lin Qiu planned to terminate this conversation: "Phoenix, this is the sophistication of human feelings, and one day you will understand." ”

"Troublesome humans. Phoenix muttered again.

Under her vicious gaze, the worried adventurer slowly opened his eyes. He immediately noticed that his arms were tightly tied, the hedgehog's head was soaked by the lake water, and a gust of evening wind blew, and his whole body was cold. In this way, he may not be a "worried adventurer", but a "cold adventurer" or a "dying adventurer".

The adventurer thought for a moment, and then he met Phoenix's unassessive gaze.

Damn, there's a dragon here!

The adventurer's neck instinctively fell backwards, but after half a second, even he felt that his acting skills of pretending to be dead were too fake, and even the grandmother who was good at wrestling in the bazaar was a hundred times more realistic than him.

"Fantasy ...... about the Forest"

"Mom——! Lord Feilong spare my life, I didn't know this was your territory, and I wouldn't dare anymore!"

"The Illusion of the Forest......"

"Let me go, I promise to leave here immediately, and I will never set foot in the Emerald Forest again for the rest of my life!"

"Just tell me honestly......"

"Please, my mother is old and needs me to take care of her, by the way, I still have a daughter!"

"It's noisy!"

Phoenix thrust the adventurer halfway into the lake to keep him calm. This guy howls louder than Old Jack, so much so that she can't even utter a complete sentence.

Death, death, death!

Why had no one ever told him that the Emerald Forest was inhabited by a dragon!

To make matters worse, the dragon lady didn't seem to be very kind to him. The adventurer's head sank into the lake, and he felt that he was now scared to death.

Phoenix waited for the bubbles to bubble in the lake for a few moments before lifting the adventurer up.

"Calm down now?"

The adventurer's head nodded like a rattle. This time, he looked more closely—the pair of red dragon wings behind Phoenix were exactly the same as the illustrations in the mythological books in the Taines Library, and when he was a child, he often ran into the library to read about the history of dragons.

It's a real dragon, and it's not like those wurms at all!

Despite believing that the time of dragons is over, he has always believed that dragons really existed.

So no one knows the dragon's charm and ...... better than he It's dangerous. The adventurer hurriedly said, "Miss Dragon, my name is ......"

He decided to report his name in time, and based on his years of experience, people with names in myths and legends generally don't die easily, and those like "my friend", "have a neighbor", "that distant relative" have the highest mortality rate - he definitely doesn't want to be on the death list of this year's Adventurers' Guild!

"Shut up!"

Unfortunately, his ruse was seen through by Phoenix, who drank the adventurer: "No one is interested in your name!

"Vision...... Oh yes, I know a lot of legends about this forest, and if you spare me, I'll tell you everything I know!"

Phoenix nodded, and as soon as she let go of her hand, the adventurer slipped and fell to the ground.

The other two adventurers were still in a state of corpses, and Phoenix caught a glimpse of the two of them, sneaking a glance at the adventurer she had picked up, and then tilting her neck to pretend that she was just an insignificant corpse. In order to make himself appear more realistic, one of them kept foaming at the mouth.

"Disgusting!"

Phoenix kicked the two into the lake and slipped the adventurer alone on the shore. The adventurer's brain raced when he saw that Phoenix showed no mercy to his companions, but fortunately he had heard many strange legends about the Emerald Forest, and he did not expect that the useless legends that were ridiculed in Taine would one day become his lifesaver.

"The illusion of the forest, huh...... The most famous rumor came from an old beggar, and it was an old legend about the sacred tree!"
