"The Fallen Mountain?" the two exchanged glances, affirming each other's doubts.

"How did they end up here?" Bing Ze looked a little excited. Although the two had never seen the Fallen Mountaineers, their iconic black visors were familiar to every human in the Maple Land. This race, which has been fighting with humanity for hundreds of years, has slaughtered tens of thousands of lives, and they are brutal and bloodthirsty. The last war between humans and the Shanders was thirty years ago, when the mighty Shanmen crossed the northern border and fought the humans in Amagi, the second largest city in the Konghao Empire. The twin strikes stalemate for several months, until the Chu Dui Empire led the army to rush to the aid and cut off the retreat of the mountain people, and the mountain people were completely defeated. Since then, the Shanshanren have disappeared on the northern border, and peace has continued to this day.

"It's close to the border of Konghao, and it's not a good sign that the Shansetters are here. Yun Ao frowned.

"What do you mean?" Bingzawa asked in an uncertain tone.

"Sora Hao has blocked the entire northern border, and it is impossible for the Shanmen to evade the border sentry and pass through the vast Amagi Plain without being detected. Yun Ao took a deep breath: "In fact, there is not even a shadow of the mountaineer on the northern border!"

Bingze didn't say a word, just listened in silence.

"This is on the edge of the dark forest, if they hadn't stumbled here. Yun Ao thought to himself. "You know what that means. The next sentence even Yun Ao himself couldn't believe it. "It's highly likely that they made it through almost the entire Dark Forest. ”

"Assuming they have the ability to get here and discern the direction, why do they stay in the Dark Forest?" Bing Ze puzzled, "It may not take half a day to enter the realm of Konghao from here. If it's for the purpose of spying or infiltrating the Konghao Empire, there's no point in staying here. ”

"Is it because you can't cross the river?" Bingzawa continued.

"It's not. Yun Ao shook his head, "Although the Dark Forest is connected to the north, it is surrounded by the Xun River, which is actually equivalent to an independent area. It is separated from the human race by a river, and it is also separated from the mountaineers by a river. Since they were able to cross the northern section of the Xun River, it was not the reason why they stayed here whether they could cross the river or not. ”

"What the hell is that......" Bing Ze was suddenly covered by Yun Ao's mouth. The two buried their heads lower.

One of the landsliders looked in their direction for a moment.

"Bingze, did you notice? They love to look at us. ”

Has it been discovered?, Bingzawa thought to himself. No!, he shook his head.

If they are found, they should look into the trees.

Suddenly, he thought of something, and hurriedly looked at Yun Ao, who was also looking at him.

The two said in unison: "Wait!"

Yun Ao turned his gaze back to the group of fallen mountain people. "Someone or something. ”

Bingzawa added, "From the territory of Konghao. He frowned, "Could it be that the empire has been infiltrated?"

Yun Ao was silent, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the trunk of the tree beside him, the dry and curled bark was covered with strange moss, lifeless, and yellowing fungi clinging to the branches and leaves. "The Dark Forest. This forest is very old, and it existed when the maple land was born. For thousands of years, the stars have changed, everything has changed, but this land has never changed. In this forest, there is a lot of unknown and mystery, and danger is everywhere. It is rumored that no one has ever reached the heart of this forest, and that all those who are lost in this forest will have no bones left. ”

"No matter how terrible the world portrays it, rumors are rumors after all, and the fact that the Rockers can reach here shows that it is not impossible to travel through the dark forest. Bingze's eyes flickered. "We're the ones in the future of this land, aren't we? History always changes, just waiting for someone to decide it. ”

Yun Ao was silent, quietly staring at a tall tree not far from the Shanshan. "Bingze, it seems that it's not just us who are staring at these fallen mountain people. ”

"What?" Bing Ze looked in the direction Yun Ao was looking.

Deep in the green leaves, several shining points of light stand out. The triangular bright spots are clearly caused by the reflection of the arrowheads. Bingze recognized it at a glance.

"Could it be the ...... of Sora Hao" Bing Ze dispelled this speculation in an instant. Humans do not enter the Dark Forest, and the sentinels of the Empty Boundary's will not pay attention to the situation inside the Dark Forest.

"They were dressed in uniform green, something I've never seen before. Yun Ao frowned and looked closely. "Not only were they armed with bows and arrows, but they also carried other weapons with them, and I could faintly see the scabbards around their waists. ”

"Don't move!" Yun Ao suddenly motioned to Bing Ze, and the two of them lowered their bodies.

The bright spot of the reflection of the arrow in the distance suddenly disappeared. Yun Ao's eyes widened to find the traces of those mysterious people.

"What's going on?" exclaimed from beside him. "Yun Ao, look at the ground!" Bing Ze pointed to the camp of the mountaineers.

"What?" Yun Ao's eyes widened. The ground around the rockers surrounding the fire is quietly changing. Several of the mountaineers stood up and looked around alertly.

Suddenly, the ground under the mountaineer's feet collapsed, forming a deep crater, into which the mountaineer also fell.

Immediately, the frightened cries of the mountaineers came from the deep pit, and they desperately climbed out of the pit, but one after another, as if they were dragged back into the pit by something. The howl turned into a terrible scream.

The two men in the tree stared blankly at what was happening in front of them. They had even seen a hand crawling out just now, at the very moment when the mountaineer stuck his head out of the pit. The two of them clearly saw that a pair of huge chelica teeth stuck in the neck of the mountaineer, cutting it off alive, and the mountaineer did not even let out a miserable howl. His remaining limbs were quickly dragged back into the pit.

Everything calmed down, and there was no more voice from the mountaineer.

The two of them trembled and propped themselves up, but immediately stopped.

Suddenly, two long crimson whiskers stretched out from the pit, as if sensing something, and shook violently outward.

The two of them tensed their nerves and remained motionless. I just felt a chill down my spine.

"Yun Ao. Bingze muttered quietly. The two noticed that the leaves were trembling slightly. Yun Ao seemed to notice something, and looked down sharply. A pair of huge chelica teeth were coming down the trunk of the tree.

"Let's go!" Yun Ao was excited, and the two jumped down.

Yun Ao flipped his hand, and a cloud of qi shot out from his palm, striking at the trunk of the tree. On the trunk of a tree, a giant centipede clings to it.

The trunk of the tree was cut off by the centipede, and the foul body fluid flowed from the centipede's wound. The centipede's tentacles were still shaking, and the stump was clinging to the branches.

Beads of sweat the size of beans ran across Yun Ao's cheeks. My mind went blank.

"Hey, it's time to leave!" Bing Ze's anxious shout startled Yun Ao, and then he shook off his fright.

Not far away, huge centipedes crawled out of the pit where the man had just fallen. Piercing chirps and crimson tentacles were approaching them.

"Let's go!" Bing Ze's shout once again reached Yun Ao's ears. Yun Ao turned around and chased after Bingze.

The two of them galloped all the way, and it was not until they passed the Xun River that they breathed a sigh of relief. The ice swept away the ice path and watched as the shattered remnants of ice drifted into the distance along the river.

On the other side of the river, the centipede did not chase.

At this time, the star has disappeared from the sky, and the distant sky shows a white belly. But neither of them noticed the change in the sky, only felt a buzzing in their heads.

"I now know what this river is all about. Bingzawa was stunned, panting.

Yun Ao nodded and sat down. "Without this river, the Dark Forest would have continued to expand. ”

Bingzawa took a deep breath and adjusted his breathing. "There are so many unknowns in this forest, the mountain man, the giant centipede, and the mysterious man in green. Bingzawa looked around at the river bank and shook his head. "There will be no boats crossing this river, the rushing water will prevent all possibility of sailing, and Kora will not allow boats to be built and driven on this river, and humans will not venture into the dark forest. Bing Ze looked out into the forest on the other side. "They are not human. ”

"Well, I noticed something unusual about their foreheads. Yun Ao pondered.

"What?"

Looking at Bingze's surprised face. Yun Ao smiled, "What? Do you think they really left?" Yun Ao waved his hand. "No, they disappeared from our sight, but they didn't leave. Fearful of creatures from underground, they hide in more secluded places, perhaps with the sole purpose of keeping an eye out for strange faces from beyond the dark forest. Yun Ao took a breath and continued, "As I was leaving, I saw them again, and I saw a reflection of light on their foreheads. I thought about it all the way, and I only thought of one situation that I had seen as well. Yun Ao looked at Bing Ze with a burning gaze. "I think maybe it's 'scales.'" ”

"Half-demon!"

"Hmm. But I can't figure out why the half-demon clan of the Southwest Plateau is here. Ever since Chu Dui garrisoned the southwest, the Half-Demon Clan had never set foot in the central area of the Maple Land, let alone traveled through Chu Duan to reach here. Yun Ao sighed and shrugged his shoulders. "Or maybe, it has nothing to do with the half-demon at all, who knows?" Yun Ao smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Whoever they are, they don't aim their fatal arrows at us. Bingzawa chuckled, "It's always a thrill." ”

Yun Ao turned his head and turned around to leave. "The future of this world is waiting for me to rewrite, and of course I won't change someone easily. ”

"Really?" Bing Ze put a hand on Yun Ao's shoulder. "You were running away at a speed that was almost catching up with me, and I'll give you propaganda when you get back. ”

Yun Ao smiled. One hand was also on Bingzawa's shoulder. "Isn't it slower than you. ”

"Ahh Bingze smiled bitterly, "Then don't mention it!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards the rising clouds at the mouth of Qingfeng.

No one knows.

In the dense leaves of the dark forest, a pair of eyes looked at the opposite bank, and among the green pupils, two backs slowly faded.
