At this time, Sekeo was already shrouded in night. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Today's weather is good, but that means the sky is completely covered in dark clouds. It seems that after nightfall, the weather becomes cloudy. In this case, it is undoubtedly a godsend for Lance to carry out the infiltration work.

Lance and the others rode the dragon wildebeest brought by General Joseph, and under the cover of night, galloped over the plain between the Coast Mountains and the Harlan Forest. None of them lit their torches, but just looked at the vague outline of the distant Coast Mountains and galloped in that direction.

Lance was actually very uncomfortable now, because the dragon horneed horse brought by General Joseph was running too fast. Even though they had slowed down, Lance was still difficult to navigate.

Although this dragon wildebeest is no different in size from a normal horse, it has a small horn on the back of the horse's head and ears, like a baby goat that has just grown horns. However, its temperament is not as docile as that of a goat, and when it gallops, it feels like it is actually riding a dragon.

Among them, it was naturally Eve's dragon wildebeest that shocked Lance the most. Eve's dragon wildebeest is called "Winter Snow" because of its flowing snow-white mane and white fur that is completely free of variegation. Even the two little horns were as white as ivory. And the color of the horse's eyes is also a breathtaking silver, as if the moon in the sky has been plucked and made into its eyes.

The dragon wildebeest of Idiris, which is produced in the town of Longjiao, north of Idiris. Because the dragon wildebeest has a long lifespan, good stamina, fast speed, and is extremely loyal to its owner, especially since it also has a certain resistance to magic. So it's a great horse that many knights dream of.

However, due to the low fertility rate of the dragon wildebeest, coupled with the fact that it is a strategic resource that Idris prohibits from exporting. Therefore, basically only the personal guards and important generals of the Duke of Idiriss are eligible for the dragon horne.

They rode their galloping dragon wildebeest horses all the way south along the unobstructed plains, and at the end of their vision was a towering border that was even darker, like a black wall, and that was the dark forest at the foot of the Coast Mountains.

They followed a deserted path and rushed all the way into the forest. The path was already overgrown with weeds. Step by step, the branches of the trees encroached on the space that originally belonged to the path, like soldiers with sharp blades, blocking the pair of cavalry rushing quickly.

"This is the narrowest area of the Dark Forest. Hold your body down! We can't stop now! Rush over in one go!"

After hearing Eve's order, Lance and the others desperately lowered their bodies, almost crawling on the back of the dragon wildebeest. With the sound of horses' hooves and the clattering of branches, they quickly rushed through the narrow waist of the forest. What followed was a gradual uplift.

The surrounding trees, which were once dense, gradually began to wither and wither. Like depressed beggars, lifeless and struggling on a rocky beach full of gravel and thorns. The crisp sound of horses' hooves has now turned into the deep grinding sound of stepping on gravel. Even the dragon wildebeests, who are naturally good at running and cross-country, have to slow down when they get here.

Eve shushed her white-maned wildebeest, took out the map and a small glow-in-the-dark gem in her arms, and compared the surrounding terrain. Then he turned back and said, "We're here, dismount." The rest of the way is on foot. ”

When everyone dismounted, everyone gently touched the cute little horns of the dragon wildebeest, and then released the reins. The dragon wildebeest himself ran away into the dense dark forest and disappeared.

"What is this?" Lance looked at his dragon horneed horse, and also wanted to draw a scoop according to the gourd, and touch the little horn of his dragon horned horse. But as soon as he stretched out his hand, the dragon wildebeest neighed mightily and shook its head desperately to prevent Lance from touching it. Lance, who was originally pulling the reins, almost shook over.

Seeing Lance's ugly appearance, the knights around him laughed. Old Tullius said: "Scholar Reims, the owner of this dragon horn horse is not you, and you have no right to touch the dragon's horns. ”

So saying, General Joseph came up, touched the little horn of the dragon horn that Lance was riding, and then let the dragon horn go.

General Joseph looked at the disappeared dragon horneed horse, smiled with emotion, and said, "Scholar Reims, this dragon wildebeest you ride is called 'Bell', and it is the daughter of the dragon wildebeest I ride. ”

Lance looked at the dragon horneed horses who had all disappeared into the dark forest, and asked suspiciously, "You just let go of your own horse, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to find it?"

"Big nose," said Knight George with a smile, "don't worry, as soon as we blow the whistle, they will follow the sound of their own, and they can't lose it." ”

"Alright, stop talking nonsense, let's move on. Eve led the group on their way towards the Coast Mountains to the south.

As they penetrate deeper into the Coast Mountains. Gradually, the gravel beach has turned into a rocky rocky hill. The surrounding rocks were shaped like demons and monsters, forcing Lance to take a detour again and again. The night that was already depressed by dark clouds overwhelmed the city, because of these strange stones, made people feel more and more frightened. It was as if they were going to turn into terrifying rock monsters at any moment, rushing up and crushing Lance and them.

Loxani tucked into Lance's backpack, revealing only her royal blue eyes, which shimmered in the night, watching the darkness around her cautiously and fearfully. Every time there was a sound of accidentally kicking a small stone, Loxani's heart trembled.

Loxani asked in fear, "Nasty ghost...... Are we sure we want to go here? I always feel ......."

Lance followed behind Eve, carefully stepping on each step, "Lorney, what's the matter? Are you still afraid of the dark?"

Loxani's tone at this time had lost the arrogance she had always had: "It's not that I'm afraid of the dark, I always feel that there is a force that suppresses me and makes me uncomfortable. ”

Lance seemed to feel that something was not right when Loxani said this at this time. From the moment they entered the rocky hill, it was as if they had passed through an invisible membrane woven with silk mesh.

Lance frowned, closed his eyes a little, and felt a thin wisp of white smoke lingering around them. It doesn't seem to feel like a physical thing, though.

Lance quickened his pace, walked over to Eve's side and said, "Eve, I also feel something is wrong. Or ......"

At this time, the "bald knight" old Tulius laughed: "I said that you are a master and a servant. He's also a dragon trainer. I thought you had the guts. As a result, the two of you, frightened by the darkness, have a constipated expression, which is too funny. How old a person is, and still afraid of the dark. Especially you, the dragon. You, a dragon, are so afraid that you only dare to show two eyes. This really doesn't fit the dreadnought nature of the dragons. Do you want me to find a diaper for your master and servant?"

"Ahem......" Eve coughed, scolding the "bald horseman" old Tullius for his sarcasm. Then he turned around and asked, "Joseph, was there anything unusual about you when you came yesterday?"

General Joseph shook his head and said, "No, we followed this road, and then crossed the moonlight path, and we blended into the Metuk Demon Wall. Since this path doesn't even know the demons, it doesn't encounter any danger. ”

Lance asked curiously, "Do you know why this place is called the Moonlight Trail?"

Several of the surrounding knights looked at each other and shook their heads in confusion. General Joseph said, "We didn't ask why it's called the Moonlight Trail. Maybe the moonlight can shine on this path. ”

At this time, "Big Nose" George came over, took Lance's arm, and walked forward with Lance, saying:

"Rest assured, Lance Scholar. Originally, when we first arrived yesterday, we thought it was terrifying. Along the way, I came across a lot of things that looked like white cocoons. But it's all a false alarm. Those cocoons were all dead, and there was no living creature around them at all. Not even a bird, not a single bug. Besides, what are you afraid of with us protecting you? And I believe that an A-rank swordsman like you doesn't need us to protect you. ”

"What A-rank swordsman, Eve?" Lance looked at the Star Knights around him suspiciously.

But they ignored Lance, and just cheered Lance on as they led Lance forward.

In a few moments, they came to a mountain pass. And Lance finally knew what the cocoon-like thing in their mouths looked like.

There was a V-shaped valley ahead, as if it had been chopped out by a giant axe. Around the entrance of the path, there are giant cocoon chrysalis like silkworm cocoons. The sloped cliffs on both sides of the trail are also covered with white cocoons. Many stripped cocoons drift in the wind with the wind in the valley mouth. From time to time, a demonic wind roar was heard.

Lance glanced at his feet, which seemed to be covered with white web like spider silk. It's like a white carpet on the path. However, this carpet has no beauty at all, because it is all a tangled cobweb. It's like a small volcano that protrudes.

Lance swallowed and spat, "There shouldn't be spiders in here......"

The "Chicken God" Knight Perry walked to Lance's side, put his arm around Lance's shoulder, and laughed and led Lance into the moonlight path: "Don't worry, I came for the first time yesterday, and my expression is the same as yours." But absolutely no problem. It's safe, you don't even have to draw a sword. Let's go!"

With that, as the laughter of the various knights echoed through the valley of the path, they "escorted" Lance into the moonlit path.

However, when they entered the moonlit path, several dark shadows with a hint of insidiousness lurking in the darkness, with a "click" sound, slowly climbed up the cliff and followed.
