(Sorry, the names of the previous chapters are confused, but the wounds of the earth mentioned in those chapters should actually be called the traces of the earth, and the real wounds of the earth are far away in the sighing desert, and they have never moved to the country of mountains, and they have no plans to relocate in the future.) “

Huronte, the Lord of the Sun, roared over the continent of Yara in a golden chariot, leaving behind the scorching temperatures of early autumn and the light that illuminated the world. Under the sun, everything in the world exudes vigorous vitality and grows freely under the moisture of the sun. However, there are always some people who prefer the posture of the three moonlight ladies, who prefer to reject the warmth of the sun and turn around to embrace the cold moon.

As the sun sets, the temperature in the mountain wilderness slowly decreases, and the coolness of early autumn begins to fill the wilderness little by little before nightfall. In the meadows at the foot of Mount Filias, Pannis emerged from a delicate little tent and stretched hard under the twilight sky. As soon as I stretched my body, a piece of toasted brown and fluffy bread flew in front of me, and before the bread could fly, the enticing aroma of sugar and cream filled my nose. Pannis, still with his hands above his head, stretched his waist, just opened his mouth and twisted his head, and the bread flew right into his mouth.

"Woo, delicious. Pannis grunted with a vague mouth, "It would be nice to smear some sour bamboo jam." ”

"Go find it yourself, I can't conjure anything like that. Catherine, who was baking bread by a small fire, gave him a blank look, and said angrily, "Do you want to give you a glass of white wine from Calis?

"No, the sweet bread should be paired with a Champagne from Dorolan so that the taste is harmonious. Pannis said very seriously: "And you should choose Leonard's sweet foie gras with it, if it is paired with deep-sea caviar, the sweetness of the bread will affect the flavor of the caviar." ”

"You don't talk nonsense. Catherine glared, "Go ahead, they all scream, you should be able to enter the Marks of the Earth today." ”

"I just heard Ike is up. Pannis said: "Lina and Vivien seem to be fighting a local war over a comb, Freya, listening to her heavy panting, she must be trying to stuff herself into the tighter equipment, it is estimated that it will take a little time." ”

"Mr. Pannis. Pannis turned around and saw Freya standing at the door of the tent, her hands clasped in front of her chest, her face full of shyness, and her eyes flashed with watery light: "You, you actually heard the sound of people changing clothes, so shy, you, you, you must be responsible for me this time, accept my fiery love." ”

In the next moment, Pannis had disappeared on the spot, appeared twenty meters away, looked up at the sky, and said as if nothing had happened: "Haha, the weather is really good today." ”

"Nice weather?" "Nice weather?" said Ike came out of the tent with his sunglasses, looked up at the sky, and nodded, "Worthy of the people that even Mr. Clark praised, he knows so much about the underground." Indeed, tonight's light rain weather can make the air at the bottom of the Earth Scar slightly moister, which is conducive to moving forward, and will not make the ground too wet and muddy, but will affect walking, which is indeed a good weather for descending into the Earth Scar. ”

"Ha, ha, it turned out to be a light rain. Pannis chuckled dryly, "That's right, that's what I thought." ”

"Don't make a fuss, come over for breakfast. Catherine was stunned for a moment, and then said, "No, let's come over for dinner." ”

In the five days that they left Chongshan City and rushed to Fillias Mountain, the six of them resumed their life of day and night. The reason is simple, as I thought of Ike as a crypt dwarf, although his eyes could see the surrounding scenery clearly in the dark cavern, but he could not adapt to the daytime sunlight. In the morning and evening, he can also rely on sunglasses to protect his eyes, but if it is midday, the strong light makes him feel very painful even through the sunglasses. Therefore, in order to match his racial habits, everyone had to change their schedules again and adjust to night operations. Fortunately, everyone's current physical fitness, even in the dark night, can clearly see everything around them through the moonlight, and will not have any impact on the movement.

"Now that we're here. Ike sat down by the small fire and took the bread from Catherine, "Mr. Pannis, should you tell me more about your plans?" You must have a plan, otherwise the underground area of the Traces of the Earth, even if a hundred years of human lifespan are consumed in it, it may not be able to explore the entire space. ”

"I do have a plan. "I told you from the beginning," said Pannis, playing with the bread in his hand, that our goal is in the area around Mount Philias. ”

"Are you sure?" Ike's wrinkled face like dry bark showed a strange expression, like anticipation and unease, "What extent do you mean by this area, and what are the characteristics of the goblin ruins you are looking for?"

Pannis thought for a moment, took out a pen and paper from his backpack, and hastily traced a few lines and circles on the paper. Ike's eyes lit up, and he looked at Pannis in surprise and said, "With this ability to draw maps, you are also qualified to explore the inside of the Traces of the Earth alone." This is the Nefaorius Mountains, this is the Calacro Mountains, this circle is the mountain city, and what about the circle on the north side? Oh, look at the distance scale, this is the Wrought Iron Fort on the top of the mountain, then this shadow is the Darnais Plateau, this triangle is the Fillias Peak of the Filro Mountains. It's so powerful that the distance error is almost negligible. ”

"That's right, this is Fillias, the mountain in front of us. Pannis pointed to the mountain peaks looming in the distance and said, "As for the range I am talking about, it is here. ”

"I count, I count. Ike lay down on the sketchy map very seriously, measuring it repeatedly on the paper with a measuring tape, and after a while he dropped the ruler, and said with a contradictory expression of excitement and nervousness: "This is a bit of trouble." ”

"What's the trouble?" At some point, Lina and Vivien had ended the little war between the girls and stood side by side behind Catherine. Vivien asked suspiciously, "Isn't it good to narrow the range?"

"It's not just a matter of narrowing the scope. Ike sighed and said, "I haven't given you a brief overview of what's going on inside the Traces of Earth. ”

"Actually, we've also been in a Scar area in the Glittering Forest. Lina seemed to be using the template of the Lord of Light, Katria, and her tone was as kind as a true priest, and her expression was full of tenderness for all things: "But I don't think there is any strange danger at the bottom of the Trace of the Earth, it looks like it's just a deep pit, and in my mind, the difference between the two is just the depth of the hole." But it was hard for me to understand that some professional books had written that the Traces of the Earth in Mount Fillias were particularly dangerous and terrifying. ”

"You mean the Dragon's Trace?" Ike pouted with obvious disdain on his face and said, "That's also worthy of being called the Trace of the Earth?" Indeed, in terms of genesis, it is indeed the Trace of the Earth, but there is no comparison between the two in terms of scale or complexity. ”

"Then please ask Mr. Ike to explain it to us in detail. Lina smiled softly: "If we can have a certain level of understanding of the places we are going to, it will also bring great help to our exploration actions." ”

"Okay. Ike was a little impatient to introduce this basic knowledge, but Lina did make sense, so he quickly accepted it: "The Marks of the Earth are the symbol of Fillias Peak, and in the Land of Mountains, there is only this group of potholes with the Marks of the Earth. No one knows the cause of the scars of the earth, but some people speculate that it is related to underground water veins and special soil qualities, and I don't know much about specific academic things, but there is indeed a huge network of underground water veins here. Around the Fillias Peak, there are more than 30 traces of the earth, the largest one, the depth of which reaches 1,300 meters, the maximum diameter reaches 870 meters, and the area at the bottom of the cave is more than 600,000 square meters. There is nothing special about the caves alone, but many of the bottoms of these Earth Scar Caves are connected by naturally formed tunnels, those are all waterways that have dried up before, and these dense passages are intertwined with each other, as complex as spider webs. And in addition to these exposed earth marks, the cobweb-like tunnels are often connected to some hollow caves where the ground has not collapsed, and some people suspect that all the earth marks were like these hollow caves before, until the rock layer at the top of them collapsed by external forces, forming the earth marks that everyone sees now. ”

"However, these are superficial phenomena, and the traces of the earth are far from simple. Speaking of the Marks of the Earth, Ike seemed very excited, and had to take a few sips to calm down before continuing: "When true explorers talk about the Marks of the Earth, they don't just mean the huge craters above, but include the dense passages below. The passage below the scar of the earth is estimated to have a total of seventeen or even twenty-one floors, and the deepest place, according to my guess, can go two thousand to two thousand five hundred meters underground, and each layer covers a different area, the more you go down, the larger the coverage area, and no one knows what the bottom layer will look like, because no one has ever entered below the twelfth floor, and then can or return. In these underground passages, in addition to the dangers posed by the natural environment, there are also countless extinct demonic beasts, including a large number of creatures that have been extinct since the first period. The First Age was the golden age of divine creation, and the strength of the Warcraft of that era was far more powerful than the current Warcraft. ”

"I just said it's troublesome because of the area you painted, Mr. Pannis. Ike finally explained: "I have explored the first eight layers of the first eight layers in a range of dozens of kilometers around Phillias Peak, and I have not found any goblin ruins. Therefore, if the goblin ruins really exist, they can only be below the eighth layer, so I think it's very troublesome. (To be continued.) )
