"There's the Dragon's Mark. Standing at the top of a hill dozens of meters high, Elad pointed down and said, "Although the forest within the Dragon's Scar is full of dangers, it is safe to enter the Dragon's Scar. ”

An hour earlier, after rescuing the desperate Roaring Adventurers, Dora had lifted the gopher on her back, Berserker Danielle had Stefana on her back, and a dozen men had followed the two guides and started running wild. Everyone knows that the people of the Roaring Adventure Party need to rest, but in the dense forests of Dragon's Scar, it is tantamount to suicide to camp and rest, and if you want to rest, you can only continue to run until you reach a safe place.

"There are no demonic beasts in the dragon's trace?" Dora asked strangely, "Isn't it said that the demonic beasts in this area are all attracted by the internal power of the dragon's trace?

"Not really, at least I haven't seen a monster in years. Elad pouted and replied, "As for the reason, who cares about him." ”

"I haven't encountered a monster in there either. Gaston echoed and said, "I've only seen some ordinary birds."

"Then let's go down and rest in camp. Dora looked up at the sky: "The trees here are getting thinner and thinner, and the day is so bright. That way, you won't be able to see clearly at night. Okay, let's go. ”

With Dora's order, more than a dozen people rushed directly down the hill by taking advantage of the slope, breaking out of the last forest barrier under the hill. As soon as they ran to the open field, everyone was shocked by what they saw.

What appeared in front of him was an open and flat open space of tens of thousands of square meters, and there were seven huge holes scattered on the clearing. The size of each cave is relatively close, the longest and widest point is about forty meters, and the hundreds of square meters of the cave are like seven open giant mouths, waiting to devour everything around them at any time.

Approaching the edge of the cave entrance, sticking out his head and looking down, the depth of the cave is more than 100 meters, the four walls are almost perpendicular to the ground, and a thin mist floats at the entrance of the cave, as if casting a veil of mystery over the cave. Through the mist, you can see that the bottom of the cave is also bare, with no signs of plant growth or life, only bare ground and scattered gravel in front of the observer's eyes.

"That's right, this is it. Pannis clapped his hands and gave Elad a thumbs up, "That's amazing, you can find this place with a casual glance at a rough map." ”

"The map shows the extent of the Dragon's Scar. Elad scoffed, "The only place in this range that can exist in your so-called warehouse is here. ”

"This is the Dragon's Trace. Lina leaned forward and looked down curiously, "Is this really something left over from a long time ago when the dragon blew itself up?"

"Don't tease the stupid Lina. Vivien didn't rush to record at this point, and apparently knew everything in front of her in the literature: "What do these holes look like they were formed by an explosion? That's just a legend, you really believe it." This thing is found elsewhere, could it be that the dragon blew itself up?"

"It's just a legend, but it's fun. Lina tapped her finger to her lower lip with a mischievous look: "But, listen to you, you've been exposed to these before?"

"There are research materials in the guild. Vivien explained, "There were ancestors who studied this. It is said that there are six such deep pits in the entire Yala continent, and this is just one of them. Among these six places, the largest group of potholes is in the northwestern mountain country of Kulan, where the deepest pit even reaches 900 to 1,000 meters, with an area of more than 100,000 square meters, just like a mysterious underground world, but unfortunately, no one has explored it in depth so far. ”

"Actually, there are. "But not many came back alive, and there was a group of more than thirty pits connected by underground caverns. Moreover, those pits are only exposed to the surface, in fact, those underground caves are connected to countless dark pits that do not see light, these connected caves are densely packed like spider webs, and a large number of extinct beasts inhabit them, and even some intelligent creatures that have degenerated into savages. It is said that some dwarves guessed that all the underground and mountain potholes combined covered an area of 500,000 square kilometers, and that it would take a lifetime to explore them thoroughly. ”

"As for here. Pannis looked at the hundred-meter cliff below him and smiled disdainfully: "It's just a pocket-sized one, at most it's a big pit." ”

"Big pit?" Lina twitched the corners of her mouth and squinted at the ground: "I hate jumping pits, and I hate those guys who dig pits." ”

"Okay, don't look at it. Catherine shouted, recalling everyone's attention, "Let's camp here." ”

"Don't you have to go down?" Fighter Antoine pointed to the pothole, "Let's camp on the ground?"

"No, you don't. Elad shook his head and said, "Even if it's safe here, there will be no magical beasts approaching, don't worry." ”

"Hurry up and get moving. Catherine urged, "I'll have to plan my trip later." ”

The camp site was chosen in the middle of two potholes more than 30 meters apart, with a path more than 30 meters wide at the back, as a retreat in case of an attack. The camp faces an open area and is not surrounded by a special fence, but is built in a completely open way. With plenty of time, ten small tents were set up around the center of the camp, and a simple stove was built in the center of the camp from rubble picked up from all sides.

Pannis and Ranger Charles did not participate in the construction of the camp, and the two went into the jungle to hunt for food for the whole day. One of the most basic rules for long-term survival in the forest is that as long as you can find a safe and sufficient source of food, you will never consume the food you carry that can be stored for a long time, so hunting every day has become a necessary skill for adventurers in the jungle.

In the camp, the construction work had already been completed because of the large number of people, and a group of people had settled the overdrawn priest Stefana and the depressed gophers, while the rest sat around the stove, sorting out their bags and equipment while waiting for the return of the two hunters. As a professional who lives in the wild all year round, in fact, there are several ladies, and everyone has some hunting ability, but compared to professional rangers and strange Pannis, others feel that it is better to wait in the camp. Sure enough, it didn't take long to see Pannisy walking back slowly with a waterproof leather bag on a thick branch.

"Good work. Catherine took the leather bag from Pannis's hand: "What's the catch?"

"One-horned deer. Pannis tossed aside the thick branch and went to the fire: "It has been cleaned and divided, and some will be roasted for lunch in a while, and venison soup will be eaten in the evening." Where's Charles, haven't you come back yet?"

"It should be soon. The emaciated Antoine nodded his head in thanks to Pannis's hunting work: "Don't worry, we often go in and out of the Glitter Forest, and Charles has no problem hunting." ”

"You're mainly active in the Flash Forest?" Pannis asked, "Supposedly the average forest adventure doesn't last more than a month, two months at most, why did you take so long this time? I just heard what Elad meant, you've been here for more than three months?"

"yes. Antoine sighed tiredly: "There was a bit of a problem with the itinerary this time, and I went back several times in vain, but I wasted more than a month of time, and almost lost everyone's lives here." Alas, I have to rest for a while when I go back this time, and I don't plan to take on any more tasks for at least half a year. ”

"It's good to take a break. Pannis gestured to Stefana's tent, "What are your plans, to rest here for a few days?"

"One day is enough. Antoine said, "Rest for a day and a night today, and set off early tomorrow morning, just in the afternoon to leave the Dragon's Scar area, and then resume the forest routine." ”

"We go with them. Dora came over and sat down, absentmindedly fiddling with the dry wood under the stove: "In this way, the two teams will cooperate for the time being, and the safety is guaranteed, and there is no need for you to accompany us back." Moreover, with Garston Guide, Elad can stay and continue to lead the way for you, so it's convenient for everyone. ”

"Actually, if you're here, it's no problem for Elad to go back with you. Pannis thought for a moment and said, "I have memorized the way back, and I won't get lost." ”

"Forget it, it's better to be on the safe side. Dora shook her head and said, "No matter how good your memory is, after all, you don't beg for a living in the forest all year round, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be an unexpected situation, and it will be even more troublesome at that time." Moreover, Elad also means this, since he has accepted your commission, he will be responsible for it to the end. ”

"Hmm, I see. A smile tugged at the corner of Pannis's mouth, "Alright then, no problem, just do what you want." ”

"Charles is back. Antoine suddenly stood up and greeted Charles, who had returned in the distance.

"What about you?" After Antoine left, Dora asked in a low voice, "I asked Senior Sister just now, and she doesn't know, how long will it take for you to end the treasure hunt?"

"Who knows. Pannis shrugged, took out the timer and looked at it: "Today, not counting today, I estimate that there are still seven days, and there is a possibility that some time will be wasted, that is, eight days." If I'm right, whether I can find the treasure or not, I can find out in about seven to eight days. ”

"That means you're going to stay here for at least seven days? Dora shrugged, "But, good luck to you, I hope you all the best." ”

"Oh no. Charles, who was greeted back by Antoine, hurried to the center of the camp: "When I was hunting just now, I found the marrow eaters again, and I saw seven or eight of them, but they didn't find me. ”

"From us?" asked Pannis, frowning.

"Not really. Charles replied, "I think they're just wandering around, maybe they're foraging." We don't have a masking enchantment now, will they find us?"

"It doesn't matter. Elad, who had been chatting with another guide, overheard everyone's conversation: "Even if the monsters find their prey, they won't set foot in this area easily. But are the ones you see the ones that attacked you before?"

"Uh, I don't know. Charles was stunned: "They all look similar, and there are no names written on them, I don't see it." ”

"It's okay, just be careful next time you hunt. Elad waved his hand indifferently: "There will be no danger." ”
