============================
After a few more days, Zeqi's injuries gradually improved. In the days that followed, Zech and the mercenaries went to the Misty Forest a few more times.
Night Hunters are a dominant force in the Misty Forest, as they are good at burrowing and hiding themselves, allowing them to effectively defend themselves even against strong enemies. Coupled with the fact that they often act in groups, they are even more rampant in the Misty Forest.
Almost every time, as long as they continue to go deeper, the mercenaries will encounter a small group of night rat hunting sneak attacks. Sometimes it's dozens, sometimes hundreds, and the most at one time is more than two hundred.
After having the experience of dealing with the Night Hunting Rat, coupled with the fact that the ordinary Night Hunting Mouse could not bite through the armor on the mercenaries at all, the mercenaries could easily solve it every time.
Each time, Zeqi also put on a slightly male armor that Aurora had borrowed from him, so that his safety could be better guaranteed. During this time, he did not bring thorn vines, but kept planting them in pots in the walled house.
On this day, after successfully solving the sneak attack of a wave of night hunting rats, Zeqi heard a subtle call again.
"Ah...... Oh......"
Zech had heard this several times in a row. Although he deliberately led the mercenary team in the direction of the call every time, almost every time he encountered a sneak attack by a night rat hunt on the way, but after each battle, the mercenary team would rush back.
He unleashed an elemental probing spell......
No animals were found.
"Do you hear the call again?" asked Angus.
At first, when Zeqi said that there was a call, Angus thought it was an auditory hallucination, because no one else heard it. But after listening to Zeqi many times, he also began to doubt, after all, Zeqi had no reason to lie to him.
"Well, I'm afraid it's the call of a missing child in the walled house. Zeqi spoke his mind.
When a child enters the misty forest, there is little hope of survival. Zeqi also knows this, but every time he sees Ji'er's sad eyes, Zeqi is inexplicably sad and always wants to help her.
"Hmm. Angus did not refute him this time, but said, "Today's battle is relatively smooth, and everyone is not injured, so let's move on." The village chief has been treating us well these days, so let's move on and investigate. ”
A few days ago, the village chief took care of the injured mercenaries, and they saw it, especially the seriously injured Zeqi. So Zeqi's mood, Angus knows and understands.
After cleaning up the battlefield and collecting the loot, the mercenaries move on. Zeqi led the crowd to follow the direction they had just heard the sound and probe and march.
"Huh, that's?"
After several successive explorations, 800 meters away, there was a huge tree, and this tree was unlike any other, not only because of its size, but also because of its appearance, or rather its variety.
The other trees are tall, but the lower part has no branches, and only the main trunk that reaches the top of the tree grows huge branches and dense foliage. These trees are also the main cause of the shady and humid environment of the Misty Forest.
The tree that Danzech now found had many branches on the top and bottom of the trunk, and the leaves were of different shapes, so it was clearly not a tree of the same species. And although this tree is huge, it is not as tall as other trees, and the sun is blocked by other trees, but it can still grow so large and lush.
"Ah...... Oh......"
Zeqi heard a call again, and the direction from which it came from was the same direction as the giant strange tree.
He led the mercenaries towards the giant monster tree.
"Slow down, Zech!" exclaimed Angus. is in such a hurry, in case of a sneak attack, it is more passive.
"Oh. Zeqi also felt that he was too anxious and slowed down.
Due to the fog, it was only when they approached 30 meters that everyone gradually saw the huge strange tree. The strange tree is very thick, and at a glance, I am afraid that it will take more than 20 people to surround it. The dense and thick roots of the surrounding soil also show that the strange tree is not young.
"Grandma's. With such a big tree and such a wrinkled bark, I am afraid it is more than 1,000 years old. Angus guessed.
"Wow!" Aurora exclaimed.
"Maybe it's thousands of years. Colby said.
"Zeqi, find out if there is any danger around, and then let's move on. Angus commanded.
Zeqi didn't seem to hear Angus, and continued to walk towards the giant strange tree.
"Zeqi!" Angus drank. Carrying out missions in the Warcraft Mountains for a long time has made Angus develop a cautious habit, and in the face of huge strange trees, it is definitely more prudent to explore first, and then move forward.
"Oh. Zeqi came back to his senses.
"What's wrong with you?" Aurora could see that Zech was a little out of sorts.
"A spear on a shield. Zeqi didn't answer, but muttered to himself, but his expression seemed a little demented.
"What do you see?!" Angus shouted, picking up Zech and throwing him on the ground.
Zeqi rolled on the ground, shook his head, more sober than before, and said, "I'm not sure, but I can vaguely see a spear carved on the tree on the shield." ”
"How is it possible, my eyesight of a fourth-level fighter is far superior to yours, I can even see the crumpled bark of a tree, why didn't I find a pattern carved on the tree?" Angus said angrily. Before, Ze fantasy heard it, but now even the vision is hallucinating.
Zeqi rubbed his eyes and looked again, but he didn't see any pattern, let alone a spear on his shield. But why did he see that pattern just now? Zeqi was also puzzled.
"Zechi, do you miss your father so much that you hallucinate. Aurora helped Zech to his feet.
"Captain, I always thought this place was a bit weird. A tree of this age grows so luxuriantly in this place where the sun is all covered. Colby said, his eyes narrowing and looking around cautiously.
"Well, Zeqi quickly cast an elemental exploration spell and see. Angus urged.
"Good. ”
Zeqi immediately cast the Elemental Exploration Technique, and the circular elemental waves spread out in all directions......
"Strange?" Zech muttered.
"What's wrong, is it dangerous?" Angus tightened his heart and clenched the long sword in his hand.
Zeqi shook his head, "No, I didn't find a single demonic beast." My strange thing is that the night mouse's cave is gone. Zeqi pointed to the ground around the giant monster tree, "Not only that, there are no night rat hunting holes in the soil within 100 meters of this giant tree. 100 meters away from the periphery of the giant tree, there is a dense dark night mouse-hunting burrow. ”
"In this way, the night hunting rat is not that the hole did not hit here, but that the hole could not be hit at all. Angus said.
"Could it be that there is an enchantment, so that the night rat hunter can't get in?" Aurora guessed.
"It's unlikely, if there is an enchantment, then we won't be able to go within the 100-meter range. Colby said.
"Go ahead and have a look. Angus said.
The group then walked towards the huge strange tree.
