Chapter 22: Hidden Dangers!

After you add a friend, they send a message.

Scarlet Fireworks: I've descended on the village of Brynn.

It's Han Yan who is online, this is her name, and it's the same as the life before her rebirth.

Merry Cloud: You go find a man named .......

Zhao Hao thought back to the information and sent the task process to the other party.

Once you do this series of quests, you will have the opportunity to contact the demons of hell, and with the qualification of the 'Blood Empress', it is very likely that you will become the spokesperson of hell.

"This time, I'm going to take my fate into my own hands!"

Zhao Hao stretched out his hand to hold it in his hands, as if he was holding the future in his hands.

Letting Han Yan continue to take the route that he would have taken in history is definitely the quickest way to become stronger, and there is no one, so there is no need for him to re-plan for it.

After solving this problem, he continued to devote his energy to finding the ruins.

If you find the wreckage, it means that the elven ruins are nearby, so you just have to try to find them.

Before the change, Zhao Hao might be worried.

Because he wasn't sure that at this time period, the ruins must be in the Shattered Star Islands.

But now that the wreckage has been found, it means that the elven ruins are determined to be on the island, and I have confidence in my heart.

"Let's split up!"

Zhao Hao prepares to split up with Ellie, one leading the Shadow Swordsman and the other leading the Centaur.

He had already told the other party the information about the ruins, and the source did not need to be explained.

As for Freya, she will first reconnoiter from the air to see if she can find something, and if not, she will act with Zhao Hao.

Once you have a reference and know the general situation and scope of the target, it is not difficult to find the target.

Almost a few hours later, there was a discovery.

"The entrance is inside!"

Zhao Hao squatted in front of a valley shaded by vegetation and looked inside.

The reason why it was determined that the entrance to the elven ruins was inside, of course, was because after the soil under her feet was cut half a meter deep (which Freya had planed with her claws), it turned out to be a stone path with elf-style carvings on it.

Passage!

And the passage stretched towards the valley, so obvious a hint that of course he could have drawn conclusions.

"The Shadow Swordsmen are scattered forward, and there are always shadows around them that can jump!"

After looking at this green valley with sparse trees and dense vegetation, Zhao Hao made an allocation.

In the face of this kind of place where there is a high probability of danger, it is indeed the best choice to let the Shadow Swordsman explore the way, and he can use his ability to escape as soon as he encounters danger.

Even if it is really dead, it can be resurrected when recruited.

Taken together, it's no wonder why the Shadow Swordsman was allowed to take the lead.

And Ellie had no objection to this order, because she knew that this distribution was indeed reasonable, so she commanded the 10 shadow swordsmen to separate and explore and advance in a fan shape.

In order to eliminate hidden dangers, the valley naturally has to be explored in its entirety.

In countless film and television works, when the protagonist is exploring, he encounters danger only to find that the back road is cut off, which often appears in the hero world.

The lessons that players get from it are that they don't, and those who do get it end up mixing well.

Sand, sand!

The team cautiously moved forward, only the rustling of grass and foliage as they slipped by.

Even Freya has slowed down a lot.

With the experience brought by the bloodline inheritance, the golden dragon body is the size of a minibus, but the movements are as light as a big cat.

Dragons are the best hunters!

Being able to do this is pretty basic.

Don't look at the usual fighting style wild and reckless, that's because there is no need to show your skills at all, and you can only see how strong the dragon's fighting skills are when you really encounter an enemy of equal strength.

As the team progressed, some small animals were startled from time to time.

After a while, at the end of the road, there was a cliff hidden by vines, and the cave in the center.

Really!

This is the entrance to the Elven Ruins.

Zhao Hao was also able to find this place because he knew the existence of the ruins in advance, otherwise the entrance to the valley that was almost obscured by vegetation would not have made people discover this place.

But the more critical it gets, the calmer his emotions become, because he understands one thing.

Any cake doesn't make sense until it's on your stomach.

On the contrary, it made him feel a little bad to come here so smoothly.

That's right, it's just going too well.

He didn't think that an elven relic would be so easy to get his hands on.

Although it seems normal to encounter a lot of animals along the way, I didn't see any wild beasts!

This is not normal.

Because there are so many animals, there should be a beast to maintain ecological balance.

But this valley has not even encountered a single beast, how can it not be suspicious.

Zhao Hao's mind kept recalling all the information he saw on the way, and at the same time guessing the reason for this situation.

Could it be!

Suddenly, a thought came to his mind.

One loves nature... The race of beast-haters came to his mind.

Forest Demon!

Weak creatures that can only appear in the forest.

How weak is it?

Tier 0!

It's not even a normal level (level 1-2), any adult human can defeat the other party.

It's just that the other party is weak, but once it appears, it means that there will be a kind of powerful creatures around.

Deadwood Guards, Dryads... And so on, all of them are the 'homes' that the forest demon likes to live in.

Among them, the Deadwood Guardian is the Tier 9 transcendent creature of the Barrier Camp among the nine main camps, and the Dryad is the Tier 11 ace creature of the secondary camp.

In terms of combat power, the Deadwood Guardian alone can easily take out 4 hungry ghosts.

A squadron of deadwood guards can easily destroy a city, which shows the terrifying combat effectiveness of it.

And these two plant creatures have one thing in common.

I can disguise myself as a tree!

No matter how strong the reconnaissance technique is, there is no way to detect the flaws in this disguise.

After all, in the forest, do you observe carefully, or even split every tree around you to confirm?

So there is a proverb among players.

'Don't go near trees in the forest'

It was a bloody experience.

Thinking that there might be deadwood guards or tree spirits in the valley, Zhao Hao ordered in a low voice.

"Retreat, but don't move too much!"

Anyway, the ruins have been discovered, and they won't slip away on long legs, so they can wait until the hidden dangers are cleared before exploring.

If you guess wrong, it's just a false alarm, wasting a little time and energy, but if you guess correctly, it will save the troops.

Seeing Zhao Hao's expression, Ellie nodded slightly and began to direct the shadow swordsman to turn back.

And the centaurs and Freya also followed as if they hadn't discovered anything.

Just when there was still a hundred meters to retreat to the exit of the valley.

Not far from the canopy of the tree, a humanoid creature tens of centimeters tall, with vines and leaves entwined around its body and pointed ears, suddenly emerged.

Forest Demon!

And the appearance of the other party means.
