If it is said that the army of the empire released the news that there was a large amount of gold in the depths of the Phantom Beast Jungle, thus setting off a sensational gold rush in the Phantom Beast Jungle. Later, the unexpected disappearance of the largest official expedition organization of the barbarian orcs, the "Golden Mountain Society", completely ended the gold rush, and the name of the place of death in the Phantom Beast Forest came from this.

"The war between humans and orcs lasted for seven years, but in the end the two sides ended in the signing of an armistice. The orcs say they won, and the humans don't shy away from saying they won. As a direct result, the "strongman's spine" area became a de facto military buffer zone between the two sides, although nominally owned by the barbarians. After the end of the war, countless greedy people rushed into the Phantom Beast Jungle in a vain attempt to find gold, and then there were two ends...... "The Wild Bull danced and told Li Tet and the others everything he knew. At this time, they were enjoying a sumptuous dinner around the campfire. However, the mentors and the chief of water governance were far away to discuss the matter of entering the Phantom Beast Jungle the day after tomorrow.

"The first one, once you go in, you never come out again! God knows if it's dead or what's going on. The second is that a small amount of gold has really been found, but the gold is all in the lair of phantom beasts, or rather, phantom beasts like to build nests on gold. Because of the excellent and rare nature of the gold, the second type of people resorted to the simplest and crude method, killing it first and then snatching it. Soon, the weak phantom beasts on the periphery of the dense forest fled to the depths of the dense forest. The first few batches of people did make a lot of money, and then, terrible things happened, these people with gold often have their lives to earn and spend their lives...... "The mad bull said with a dry mouth, grabbed the water cup and poured it.

Karl munched on the stew and asked, "What happened later?

Da Bang thought for a moment, but slowly stood up and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the rumors of 'Scarlet Gold' are here. Didn't those people bring out the gold, there must have been people standing outside and paying a high price to buy the gold. However, most of those who took the gold, no matter who they were, died inexplicably. Some died of assassination, some of them died of disease, and some died suddenly and violently in plain sight. And they are not like weak people, nor have they formed a grudge against anyone, but they are all plagued by bad luck. **Understandably, natural disasters can't. ”

Raging Bull finally finished drinking the water, and he agreed with the big collapse, and continued: "It seems that all the gold collectors came from the same super-large chamber of commerce, and they bought almost all the gold on the outskirts of the dense forest. and sent it to the Empire for processing, but the curse of the blood-colored gold did not end there. In the course of a year, the empire's leading chamber of commerce suffered a number of business setbacks, the leadership fell apart due to infighting, shareholders went bankrupt, and the boss hanged himself in his home. The gold-processed goods that had already entered the market also brought bad luck to the users, the nobles were degraded, the rich were robbed, and the commoners were beheaded...... In the end, the empire had to order the recovery of the gold. ”

Li Teh couldn't hold it back, got up and said, "What a curse, the most terrible curse is human greed." I don't believe in any kind of blood-colored gold, but if there is, who won't take some of it! Rather than be poor all your life, it is better to fight for your life. ”

The water monster and the weeping god were a little frightened, and asked tremblingly, "What happened later?"

The mad bull glanced at Li Teh and said, "Boss, I think you belong to the second type." Indeed, curses cannot stop humanity's quest for gold. Later, the orcs decided that there were mountains of gold and silver in the Phantom Beast Jungle, which was profitable. simply ordered that the Winged Human Clan, one of the five major tribes near Ise Mountain, send an army to surround the Phantom Beast Dense Forest, and only allow the officially recognized personnel of the Barbarian to enter. In the early and middle stages of the Gold Rush, didn't the human adventurers sweep away the perimeter? Therefore, the orcs could only go deep into the dense forest, and bad things were coming!"

The mad bull continued: "There are many strong orcs and strongmen, forming a thousand-person exploration organization called the Jinshan Society. Their communication with the outside world is the same as our signal reel. This thing emits a giant pillar of light twenty meters high, which is used for positioning. Three days before the Golden Mountain will enter, the signal they sent can still be seen, the winged people are coming from above, and the signal is indeed moving like a deep place. But on the fourth day, the signal was no longer visible, and the sky deep in the dense forest was perennially dense and gloomy. After waiting for almost ten days, the time for the maximum supply of the expedition team has passed, but not a single orc has been seen come out alive, and all of them are missing, which is still a mystery. Since the leader of the Jinshan Society was a beastmaster of a large tribe, the barbarians still sent a lot of people to look for it, but they didn't dare to go any further, so they could only find nothing......"

Li Te secretly calculated the time in his heart, this was at least more than thirty years ago, not long after the first race war broke out in the continent, the human Hundred Wei Empire was defeated by the elves and orcs, split into the Later Wei Federation, and the orcs recaptured the strongman's back. But he didn't mention anything about the Phantom Beast Forest. What does this curse have to do with this depth?

After dinner, everyone boarded the carriage and prepared for bed. Before going to bed, the instructors take turns keeping vigil, and the chief of the water administration confirms the number. Li Teh and his entourage were still immersed in the incredible story, and the mad bull did not forget to mention in the end that after the three thousand elite army, the Golden Mountain Society, and even the Beastmaster disappeared into the depths of the Phantom Beast Jungle, it was difficult to find gold on the periphery and the curse of blood-colored gold, and finally stopped the pace of greed. So the periphery of our training is still very safe, there are no powerful phantom beasts or other adventurers, not to mention so many safeguards.

Leete's mind is full of thoughts, but it's more about gold, and for him, the money that can fit into his pocket is really useful, whether it is spent or not. Thinking about it, Li Tet looked through the glass window on the roof of the car and looked at the starry sky in a daze.

It was already late at night, and the grassland where they camped was in the wilderness. The evening breeze whistled and accompanied the howls of wild beasts, but the exuberant bonfires of the camp kept them at bay. The white-robed instructors took turns to change the guard and keep vigil, and the chief of the water administration rested even less. But no matter how keen these strongman mentors were, and the magicians had strong spiritual power, they couldn't expect the existence of the winged human race hovering above their heads at this moment.

It was almost the starry sky that Li Te was looking at, and in the clouds of the night sky, three dark shadows gathered together. These three people are the winged people, and through the moonlight of Bai Sensen, you can see their faces clearly, the faces of young human men, and their long hair fluttering in the wind. The winged people flying in the clouds, the white wings spread out behind their backs, even longer than their length. Aside from the wings on his back, he seems to be indistinguishable from a strongman or a normal human.

The huge wings flapped rhythmically up and down, so that the Wingman could stay high in the air without the slightest notice of the chief of the water administration. Moreover, their eyesight is excellent, and at an altitude of several hundred meters, they can clearly see the movements of every large life on the ground below, even at night.

Finally, a winged man flying in the center spoke first: "I have been tracking for three days, and the destination of this group of people below is most likely to go to the Phantom Beast Jungle. There are about 200 people, and there are many strong ones. Shall we report to the head of the investigation team in advance?"

The wingman on the left said, "I see most humans, strongmen, a few gray and white steel-skinned orcs. I didn't see a single elven clan, and the top one only ordered to beware of the elven reinforcements entering the Phantom Beast Jungle, so we didn't need to report in advance. ”

The wingman on the right was silent for a moment, and then slowly replied: "If you can see the elves, then they can see you too, it's a terrible race, don't underestimate them like humans." According to the speed of the convoy, at most one day, the day after tomorrow will be able to reach the Phantom Beast Jungle. The purpose of this group of people is unknown, except for the last time, it has been a long time since so many adventurers went to the Phantom Beast Jungle, this mission is related to the honor of the Winged Human Race, and we are not allowed to be negligent in the slightest, so we will observe for another day. Disband!"

As the words fell, the three winged men quickly dispersed in the clouds, flying in three different directions until they disappeared into the night, and the three winged men did not attract the attention of anyone in the battle blood camp below. The third day came to an end in a gripping story.

On the fourth day of the adventure, the convoy was able to see the main peak of the Ise Mountain Range, Ise Kinabalu, towering over the clouds. The trainees and some of the instructors were overjoyed and cheered. "It's finally here. "The journey was so peaceful, not even a beast attack. "I'm going to catch a phantom beast as a pet, hahahaha!" The fatigue of all kinds of travel was vented at once.

The weather was excellent, the sky was cloudless, and in addition to the tall blue-white mountains that seemed to cut off the sky, there was also the dense forest of verdant and dense phantom beasts. Covers almost the entire base of the mountain. Even though there is still a day to go, and there is still so much distance to go, you can strongly feel the vastness of the dense forest. Whether it is a human or an orc, at this moment on the boundless green grassland, the breeze blows, and then looking at the magnificent natural scenery, they all feel their own insignificance.

Chief Suiji, standing in the driver's seat of the first carriage, even took off the coat and hat that often covered the upper half of his face. What the students saw was not a high-spirited and glorious middle-aged teacher, but an "old man" with a wrinkled face but a smile on his face. Although Mizuji knew that the dense forest ahead was full of dangers, he was still shocked by such magnificent scenery. The chief of water governance let out a sigh of relief, as if he had forgotten the fatigue of the past few days.

Mizuji casts a little magic to make the water elemental levitate itself. When the convoy saw Shuizhi's figure in mid-air, they slowed down. Chief Shuizhi shouted, "Everyone, hurry up and try to get to the Phantom Beast Dense Forest before dark." Set up camp outside the woods tonight. ”

"Good !!" cheers rang out from almost every car.

Mizuji was just about to dispel the water elemental in the air, when suddenly his nose moved, his expression became serious, and he hummed in a low voice, "The smell of other water magic." Phantom beast?" After speaking, he looked up at the blue sky above his head, and there was nothing unusual.
