Chapter Twenty-Four: Heart of Darkness: The Scourge of the Jungle
I have to say that Millie's courage is really a bit big, just escaped from the mouth of the water monster, and immediately wanted to enter the island in the middle of the lake to find out, Fei Yue and Khaki and the knights saw through Millie's thoughts at a glance.

"Now that the lake is safe, we can clean it first, and when Celia returns, we will think about it in the long run, how about it?" Fei Yue sighed slightly and proposed.
"I agree with Xin, or Celia won't find us—" Khaki grimaced with a look of horror, "I don't want to see Celia's wrath anymore anyway!"
"Then why don't we camp here first? take a bath in the lake first, and then get a good night's sleep, so that you will have the energy to explore later!" Millie saw that everyone was reluctant to enter the middle of the lake like this, so she had to do so, but God knows if there would be any traps or anything like that, just in case, Celia's presence was still very necessary.
With that, Millie once again dragged Feiyue towards the lake, this time with Khaki following behind them, and the knights began to set up camp in their place. Now that the water monster had just been killed, nothing would come here until the news of its death spread throughout the forest, which relieved the nerves that had been tense in the group.
The three girls who came to the lake did not immediately untie their clothes, but first fetched a few buckets of water for the knights who were encamped, and after returning the water to the camp, they got a few branches, surrounded the surroundings with clothes of various colors, and faced the side of the lake with the help of small water to block the view, so as to basically ensure that nothing went wrong, and not even a shadow was thrown.
While the girls were bathing, the knights quickly set up camp and then began to distribute patrols around the perimeter, and until Celia returned, they would not let up, although their spirits were not so tense all the time, but the basic defense was their duty, and it was absolutely impossible to forget.
"Kate, Kerry, you two first round, change shifts at noon, Tae-ching and I from noon to afternoon, Vala, Ahe, you replace us until dinner, Anthi and Nili in the first half of the night, Biot and Danai from eleven to two, Spruce and Tapu from two to four, Khaki and I are in charge from four to seven o'clock in the morning, understand?" After tidying up the camp, Charlie began to assign patrol tasks, because there was no danger in itself, so the number of people was not very large, and the camp was also set up in the open space between the lake and the dense forest, so no matter what approached, it could not escape the vision of the knights on duty, so naturally there was not much manpower.
"Disbanded now, if there is something I will summon you over, go and rest!" After speaking, Kate and Carey tidied up their armor and started the first round of patrol work, and the other knights should be cleaned and cleaned, and the rest should be rested, the camp is arranged around the camp where Millie, Feiyue and Celia live together, and the knights surround the central camp like the stars holding the moon, so that it is easier to respond in time if there is any special situation.
On the other hand, the three girls were having a lot of fun, and the laughter was heard in the camp without realizing it, but fortunately, the knights were very conscious of ignoring it, but at this time Celia returned, and when the three girls returned to the camp cleanly, Celia sat in the camp with a calm face and waited for them.
"Xin, you say first-" At this time, Celia had already taken off the mask, and a scar continued along her chin to the corner of her eye, that is, the part covered by the mask, it seemed that she had experienced something terrible and dangerous in the past, but except for the scar, everything else was still very beautiful and exquisite, willow eyebrows, brown eyes as smart as the eyes of a cat at night, a small nose and cherry-like lips, no matter how you look at it, she is also a beauty, but because of that terrible scar to destroy.
Celia's face met Fei Yue's eyes, so that Fei Yue didn't react at once, if Celia is not a beautiful woman, it would be better to say, such a beautiful face doesn't match such a scar, "That's it-" After a while, Fei Yue began to tell Celia what had just happened.
And as Feiyue described the matter completely, Celia's face became more and more ugly, and Millie was constantly pulling the corners of Feiyue's clothes, that expression was like saying to Feiyue, say less, at least don't say it all, ignore it selectively, aren't you amnesia? Why do you have such a good memory? and so on, that expression almost amused Feiyue, but before Feiyue laughed, Celia suddenly burst out laughing.
"How much do you know about this dense forest?" Celia no longer held anyone responsible, but took the topic in a new direction, "Oh, by the way, when I came back, traps were also laid around the camp, and there were traps in the dense forest, but there are not many, I'm afraid that the animals will make a noise about stepping into the traps, and besides, we have successfully escaped the tracking of that group of mercenaries, as for Mia and his party, it is not clear yet!"
"Since we can all get away with the pursuit, then Brother Mia can definitely too!" Millie suddenly jumped up and said, "As for the jungle, isn't it the first time we've been here?"
"Yes, and before I came, I looked through some documents, and it is said that there is a hidden Dark Elf city in the dense forest, which should be the one that has been dilapidated before, but unfortunately, if we had been a little earlier, maybe we would have seen the most prosperous appearance of the Dark Elf City, just that the ruins are beautiful enough, and the legendary eternal tree!" Celia took out a notebook, and as she spoke, she was flipping through something, and she couldn't see the record in the notebook from the perspective of Fei Yue.
"And then there's another one here?" asked Millie.
"Yes, a legendary resting place of the evil dragon, that is, the place of sealing, its name may not have been heard of by you, but the elves should know its name very well, it is called the Scourge of the Jungle, the evil dragon that once single-handedly destroyed an elven city, and was later banished and punished here!" Celia's tone was surprisingly calm, and she didn't know if she was really angry, or was she brewing anger, or she wasn't angry at all?
"Plague of the Jungle? a dragon? or an evil dragon? Wouldn't that be a lot of gold and jewels? Are we about to get rich?" Millie's eyes lit up at once, shining with the same light as the gold and jewels she had spoken of.
"Well, the record doesn't say that the dragon was killed, it was just banished and sealed, and although there are a lot of gold coins and jewels in some ways, you have to have a life to get it!" Celia said with a slight sigh, "And you opened the seal like this, and accidentally let that dragon out, but it will be trouble-"
"But we can't help it, can we let Xin watch me get eaten by that damn water monster? It's a big deal that we can kill that dragon, anyway, after being locked up for so long, even if we don't starve to death, we will starve for half a life, what are we afraid of, we are so powerful!" Millie is really fearless, or should I say fearless because of ignorance?
"In that case, then it's decided, let's rest for three days, and then start exploring in the middle of the lake after three days, that dragon shouldn't wake up for a while!" Celia seemed to be waiting for Millie's words, after Millie said that she wanted to crusade against the dragon, Celia immediately agreed, but Feiyue and Khaki, who were next to her, never participated in the topic, and judging from Khaki's face, she didn't want to go at all.
Three days of time said fast and fast, slow and slow, because there is nothing to do, and there is no place to go, so the group is just resting, in addition to rest or rest, although there are some fish in the water, but there is still nothing fun, the scenery is very good, green mountains and green water, but unfortunately there is no handsome man, otherwise it will be more beautiful. But the night here is really very beautiful and full of fairy tale colors, including Feiyue four girls sat by the lake and looked up at the night sky the next night, the twinkling stars and the bright moon are reflected in the calm mirror-like lake, giving people a sense that the lake and the night sky are a world that is interconnected, if it is not the island in the middle of the lake, I am afraid that I will go up to a level.
And on the third night, the four of them saw the arrival of the first animal, which was a beautiful and holy unicorn, this unicorn Fei Yue did not know, but he was very close to Fei Yue, but he was very surprised to reject all Celia.
It is said that the unicorn has a very sensitive sense of the pure virgin, once the virginity is lost, the unicorn will not appear again in her field of vision, even if it appears, it will not be able to get the friendship of the unicorn, of course, this is just a legendary record, and the unicorn recognizes the virgin or something, is it really possible? How to think about it is too unreliable, right? Of course, Fei Yue thinks that it is likely that the non-virgin girl will leave some men's scent, this possibility is more reasonable than the previous inexplicable identification of the virgin.
Anyway, the unicorn just doesn't want to contact Celia, and Celia seems to know the reason in her heart, so she doesn't force it, but Millie and Khaki are very happy, after all, in the human world, the unicorn is also a legendary species, and it is a symbol of good luck when seen the night before the crusade against the dragon.
"Celia?" While Millie and Khaki frolicked with the unicorn, Moonlight sat down beside Celia and turned her gaze to the clear waters of the lake and the deep night sky with Celia. "You're not human, are you?"
"Hmm-" Celia nodded slightly, "you're not human, are you, and your memories must have been restored!, right? from the time we fled!"
"Yes, but I won't hurt you!" replied Fei Yue.
"I know you won't hurt us, or we'd be dead, and I didn't notice the assassin hiding in your shadow until I left—" Celia sighed slightly, "Do you know why I was able to find the Dark Elf altar in the first place?"
"Because you're a dark elf!" the corners of Fei Yue's mouth lifted slightly, "So, do you know why I was left there alone?"
"Because you're a god—aren't you?" Celia's tone trembled slightly with excitement.
"Yes—a god who is reclaiming his past—"
