The towering mountains are like the backs of giant beasts, the trees are full of life like thick hairs, and the humans who walk through the forests are as small and weak as lice. Even so, humanity still wants to have the power to shake the earth.

Angel walked anxiously in the woods, looked up at the sun in the west, which was obscured by clouds and was not dazzling, but was about to sink into darkness, and muttered to herself: "It's getting dark, and there is a possibility that the sky will change, I must go back quickly." ”

In order to collect enough herbs, early in the morning, An Jie'er carried a basket, wrapped a rope around her waist, and carried a series of necessary items and tools such as a small pickaxe and sickle, and went out after greeting her father, and climbed over two mountains that were not very high.

Now the basket is full of herbs, which Angel and her father are good doctors and need to treat the people of the town and nearby villages.

Dusk fell, and the night fell, but the stars were nowhere to be found, only the hazy moon that showed only half of her cheeks appeared and disappeared in the dark curtain, like a shy girl with a light veil, but these Angels were not in the mood to admire, because she still had to climb a mountain and two kilometers to walk, and the forest was not safe at night, there were often wild beasts, and the visibility was less than five meters, so she had to be nervous.

The woods are overgrown with weeds, and the rotten fallen leaves have accumulated on the ground I don't know how much, and if you step on it, it will sink, accompanied by a rustling sound, and it will emit a fishy smell, which makes An Jie'er frown a little.

Angel watched around with wide eyes, vigilant as she used her scythe to pluck through the branches and weeds. As the minutes passed, anxiety and anxiety began to climb into An Jie'er's heart.

No way, no matter how bold An Jie'er is, she is also a seventeen-year-old girl, girls are naturally afraid of the dark, and it is understandable that she will be afraid when she walks through the dark dense forest alone.

"Come on, it's fast to climb over this mountain. Angel cheered herself up and tried her best to control the anxiety in her heart.

Angel's eyes widened, she stretched her neck to look around, and then took out a compass and looked at it through the faint moonlight that appeared from time to time.

"I'm lost, what can I do, the light is so dim, I can't get out at all. An Jie'er broke out in cold sweat on her forehead, supported her knees with her hands, took a few deep breaths, and looked a little tired.

It was May, and the day was still warm, but the night in the woods was a little shady, and Angel tightened her chest tightened, thinking about whether to continue walking or find a place to rest.

Grunt, grunt, just when An Jie'er was still entangled, her stomach screamed angrily.

"Alas, let's find a safe place to eat and rest first!" An Jie'er muttered, through the faint moonlight, it took a while to find a tall ancient tree, the diameter of the trunk of the ancient tree is nearly two meters, much higher than the surrounding trees, and it is blooming small white flowers at the moment, but because the light is too dim, there is no way to appreciate it.

An Jie'er had an idea, so she took off the back basket on her back, put it at the foot of the ancient tree, put down the kettle, and put the sickle on her right hand on the herbs in the back basket, and then took off the small pickaxe hanging on her waist, untied the rope wrapped around her waist, tied the small pickaxe to one end of the rope, and threw it hard to the first branch of the ancient tree, the branch was not high, only three or four meters, but despite this, the first time there was not much accuracy, the small pickaxe crossed a parabola with the rope, and fell to the thick dead leaves on the ground, and failed. Angel picked up the fallen pickaxe, took a deep breath, and threw it again, this time the pickaxe passed steadily over the branch.

Angel smiled and took the pickaxe that fell from the branch, held the rope at both ends in her hand, tied a slipknot, and then pulled it hard, pulling the slipknot to the branch, so that the rope was fixed.

An Jie'er calmed down, and then pressed her hands hard, and her feet stepped on the trunk of the ancient tree to climb up, seeing her skillful movements, she knew that she was a wild girl who often climbed in the wild, and in less than half a minute, she climbed on the branch of a tree three or four meters high.

Angela squatted down, untied the rope tied to the branch, and then used the same method to climb to the top of the tree more than fifteen high.

Angel pushed aside the intersecting branches and stepped on a slender branch with her feet. As An Jie'er balanced and twisted her body, the branches also rubbed against each other, accompanied by a rattling sound, the small white flowers that were blooming at this time also fell to the ground one after another, and then a burst of fragrance filled her nose, which made An Jie'er, who was originally a little anxious, feel much better.

After about ten minutes, the moonlight finally penetrated through the gaps in the clouds, shining between the mountains and forests without shelter, and the silver-white moonlight shone on the small flowers, making the small flowers also reflect a layer of soft white brilliance. But these are not the purpose of An Jie'er to climb the ancient tree, so she just admired it, and then turned her eyes to the distance around, although it was only a dozen seconds, but with the familiarity of this mountain forest with frequent medicine collection, she finally knew her position in the mountain forest at this time, and then it was easy to find the way home as long as she checked the compass.

After An Jie'er landed on the ground, she breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the kettle, unscrewed the lid, drank a few sips, and then took out a big sweet potato from her pocket, the sweet potato had been washed with water before, although it was raw, but An Jie'er was not picky about anything, wiped it with her hand a few times, and was about to eat.

But at this moment, An Jie'er saw a flame floating in the air in front of her, emitting an orange-red light that was floating towards this side, An Jie'er thought that she was dazzled, blinked her eyes and gently rubbed it with her hand a few times, and when she looked again, she found that the flame was closer, and the weeds on both sides of the orange-red flickering light were clearly visible, it could not be an illusion.

No matter who it is, they will be afraid of unknown and strange things of unknown origin, An Jie'er almost subconsciously hid behind the trunk of the ancient tree, then patted her chest, tilted her head slightly, and looked at the gradually approaching fire with the corner of her eye. When the firelight approached, I heard a rhythmic rustle, which was clearly the sound of feet stepping on dead leaves while walking.

"Is it a person?" An Jie'er pondered the origin of the other party, and at the same time, the firelight also came to the ancient tree with the rustling of footsteps. Because the person was coming from this side before, and the body behind the flame was covered by the firelight, so he could only see the flames floating in the air, and at this time, he clearly saw that it was a person, and there was a flame burning in the palm of this person's right hand, "Oh no, my herbs and tools ......" Although the other party was a human, he didn't know the other party's intentions, and An Jie'er's heart was a little uneasy.

An orange-red flame was burning in his right hand, and he walked to an ancient tree without hurrying, and saw the back basket and other tools under the tree, he squatted down, picked up the herb with his left hand and looked at it, and sniffed it with his nose, then sighed, lowered his head, and showed a disappointed expression.

An Jie'er has been paying attention to the comer, her tense body is a little stiff, and she wants to move her feet, but as soon as she lifts her right foot lightly, there is a rustling sound, which is so frightened that An Jie'er stands on the ground with one foot and doesn't dare to move.

Su Ke heard the sound behind the ancient tree, he stood up, slowly walked to the back of the ancient tree, and saw a girl about seventeen years old, she was wearing a white cloth dress and long skirt, white cloth shoes stained with a little dirt, and black hair was coiled on the top of her head. She covered her chest with her hands, and held a large sweet potato in her right hand, staring at her vigilantly.

Su Ke scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "You, come out, don't be so afraid." ”

An Jie'er looked at the man in front of her, about eighteen or nineteen years old, close to one meter eight, wearing a black shirt on his upper body, a gray fur coat on his shoulders, a two-handed heavy sword on his back, black trousers and leather boots made of animal fur on his lower body, and his resolute and handsome face was looking at him with a smile.

"You, can magic?" An Jie'er looked at the man, thinking that he didn't look like a bad person, and looked curiously at the flame in the palm of his right hand.

"That's right, this is a very powerful fire-type elemental magic! My name is 'Suker Abraham', just call me 'Suke'. Su Ke was a little excited as if he was being told something he was very proud of, and after introducing his name, he showed a friendly and bright smile.

"'Angel', my name is 'Angel Azhead,'" Angel said her name, stepped out from behind the old tree, and sat down at the root of the old tree.

Suke also sat down, holding up the flame in his right hand, and in a few moments, the flame hovered in the air, illuminating everything around it.

"Are you hungry?" An Jie'er took the sweet potato, and after a moment of nervousness, her stomach became even hungrier.

"Sweet potatoes have to be ripe to be delicious. Su Ke took the sweet potato from An Jie'er's hand, and before An Jie'er could react, he saw him holding the sweet potato with both hands, and then emitting a soft red glow.

Angel looked at everything in front of her and saw something surprising, although she knew that magic existed in this world, but this was the first time she had seen it.

Su Ke continued while using magic, "Magic is a very convenient thing, for example, my fire element magic can not only be used in battle, but also used to roast sweet potatoes if it is controlled. ”

An Jie'er asked out of curiosity, "What if you don't control it well?"

Souk grinned and replied, "If you don't control it properly, you'll be burnt, or half-baked." ”

"Hahaha...... , You're still quite interesting!" An Jie'er smiled and asked again, "Then in addition to the fire attribute element magic, are there any other magics?"

For example, there are also wind attribute element magic, thunder attribute element magic, water elemental magic, light attribute, dark attribute, in addition to elemental magic, there are other types of magic, such as space magic, black magic, witchcraft, and magic that can be invisible, and many, many more. ”

Angel continued to ask about magic, and Suke still grinned as she answered Angel's question.

After more than ten minutes like this, Su Ke handed the roasted sweet potato to An Jie'er, An Jie'er took the hot sweet potato, showed a happy expression, and then folded the sweet potato in half, handed the larger half to Su Ke again, and said softly: "I can't eat so much, you can help me!"

Su Ke was also polite, took the half of the sweet potato handed over by An Jie'er, and said while eating: "Hehe, I'm already hungry with my chest against my back, thank you!"

Hearing this, An Jie'er laughed out loud, glanced at the hearty man in front of her, and then looked at the sweet potato that was still steaming in her hand, and a complicated emotion arose in her heart.

At this moment, the wind has risen, the moon is also completely hidden, the suspended flame is shaking slightly, and the small white flowers on the ancient tree are gently falling, forming a shower of flowers, but at this time, it adds a touch of romance to the two people under the tree.

But at this moment, a dangerous aura was gradually approaching not far away.
