When a large group of men and horses marched through a forest without roads, especially in the case of heavy weight, of course, it was impossible to have a neat queue or a dense formation. In addition to maintaining the front, middle and back groups, everyone is trying to keep the protected people walking on the inside of the team, and the outer ones are in charge of the group of combative guards.

Because the people who participated in the escort were all veterans of adventure, as long as they were assigned their respective posts, there was nothing to do with Uzov. In his spare time, he glanced up at the dark elves beside him from time to time. If it weren't for the fact that she had worked with this guy, she would have wondered if this man was in heat at the wrong time and place.

"Say it. Looks like you've been holding back something for a long time. The dark elf said.

Without much thought, Uzov said, "Since the boss lent you the rifle, you can see if we turn on the prey detection mode." ”

"Why, I'm hungry and want to hunt. Although it has only been long since noon, you have also contracted the habit of eating lunch with your master? Mel quipped.

"It's not. To be honest, the detection mode is also very convenient for the eyes if it is used to guard the surroundings. That's what I need, to protect this team. ”

"If you want to protect everyone here, you need more than just eyes." Mel said meaningfully. But she didn't make it clear, but went back and said: "As for the issue of environmental monitoring, don't worry, I did it from the beginning." ”

Uzov was taken aback and asked: "I did it at the beginning, how did I do it?" I don't see the water mirror screen for the map. And if you continue to use it, will the power of the gun be consumed too much? We're not sure how long it will take this time. And I remember that the magic stones used in the rifle are all specially made, and they can't be used casually. If you run out of reserves, the rifle will only be used as a burning stick. ”

Mel proudly flicked her right ear, the earrings transformed by the World Tree clone were small, but they were delicate. The dark elf smiled, "I don't want to know who my real backer is. Your Majesty has parsed the detection magic on the rifle and projected the results into my field of vision. Although when you look at it, there will be more things in your eyes that are not actually there; But it's okay to get used to it. In doing so, the power to open the water mirror is saved, and it lasts at least several times longer than before. ”

In fact, behind this matter, there is a little more complicated. Lin connected all the high seats of the Turtledove Alliance through the first coffin and obtained the computing power of the World Tree. Anyway, for these big plants, it has always been a state of redundancy of computing power; So no one really protested against someone going through the back door and sneaking around them.

Another reason for such generosity is that while Lin uses the first coffin to connect all the World Trees, it also means that the database of the First Coffin is open to the World Trees. Of course, it includes all of Lin's designs for the Arcane Eye, as well as various small applications related to the forum, and even secret instant messaging software.

It's just that the World Tree doesn't understand the value of everything in it, and of course they don't spread it. And this time, it was also Maier's need, so Fasnas analyzed the detection procedure in the rifle; And use the first coffin database to mention, about the use of retinal projection, through the doppelganger earrings to show the results in the eyes of their dependents.

The reason why the prey detection mode of the rifle needs to be turned on and off is mainly the water mirror screen used to display the minimap of the prey's location, because it is actively created with magic, so it is particularly power-consuming. The Arcane Eye is only a passive collection of information scattered around the environment, and the consumption is not large.

The method of projecting the retina is also quite low. Because that's the caster's own power to pay for the loss, not the magic stone. In this way, as long as Mel is in contact with the rifle, she can turn on the surveillance of the rifle at any time and grasp all the situations within a radius of about one kilometer.

Even when Mel turned off the Liveness Detection minimap in her field of view, there was still Fasnas watching. He is ready to warn his family of any anomalies and is the most powerful living monitoring device.

And the information that the Arcane Eye gathers is more than just the circular mini-map that appears in Mel's eyes, and the small red and blue dots that represent the creatures of friend and foe. That's just selecting the least amount of information and displaying it in a limited range of displays. In the handling of Fasnas, everything within the scope of the arcane eye's observation is under his control.

It means that this world tree is also very idle, so I have time to look east and west through Maierjiao, and remind me from time to time......

But the reason behind this, Uzov did not know. So he still proposed the test and asked the dark elves, "Then can you please tell me what is going on near our team now?" ”

Mel didn't care, and said, "It just so happened that our scout came into contact with a large creature. Wait a minute, and you'll get the news from the front. ”

It's good that he didn't hear it, but as soon as he heard it, Uzov nervously asked, "Large creatures?" How big? Is it possible to determine its rank? How far? ”

Reassuring the nervous man, Mel said, "Don't worry. It looks like a bear. But it's just an ordinary beast, not a monster. Although it is a problem for ordinary people, if those scouts can't handle this kind of problem, don't look for them next time. ”

At the same time, there was a commotion at the front of the line. The scout members who had been sent out walked back with a relaxed appearance. He approached Uzov Gantiya and asked, "Boss, we met a big bear in front of us. Do you want to slaughter the vegetables at night? ”

Realizing that the news was exactly what Mel had said, Uzov was convinced that the dark elf had mastered the detection magic of the rifle. But he shook his head at what the scout said, "We've just set off, so it's not good to stop and dismember the animals." Get around the bear, or find a way to lure it away. Today we are going to go as far into the interior of the forest as possible, and we try not to stop except for the wood we are targeting. ”

The young lad who served as a scout shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "You're the boss." Everything is up to you. ”

A vignette in the adventure that did not upset anyone's mood. The ordinary beast, with no intelligence, was lured by the scout and left the way of the group.

As for the use of rifles, Uzov originally had concerns. Because he knew that set of reconnaissance magic, the magician had not yet been revealed to others, and at most he knew another siege map. So whether it is exposed or not, he is a little hesitant.

Now that there is a better way to use it, he is happy that the trip can be carried out safely without revealing his boss's hole cards. Even if the magician didn't care if others knew about the existence of such a magic, it shouldn't have flowed out of his mouth.

The crowd moved on.

The autumn forest smells bleak, and the yellowing of the leaves is more than ever, which of course causes some trouble for those who walk in it. Fortunately, there are not many small insects in this forest, and the miasma caused by rotten leaves is even rarer.

This form of forest represents only one meaning in the Lost Land, and the power here is more active than in other places. At the same time, it is also dominated by magical beasts, rather than demonic plants. If the latter were the case, the forest would be full of miasma, and ordinary creatures would hardly survive.

The man who led the way was a member of the artisan team under Grand Duke Kaveh. According to them, they entered the forest when they were young and found a gathering place of trees of the two types of wood. So this time, I should take on the role of guide.

Of course, so much time has passed, and many terrain features have long since changed, and even the memory will not be so clear. So this time, it's up to everyone to pay attention to every tree they pass by.

Fortunately, the characteristics of those two trees, fragrant nanmu and silver-veined camphor, are very obvious, that is, they have a rather unique aroma. The former is slightly fragrant, but it is unforgettable. The latter is fragrant, and those who like it can accept it, and those who don't like it may avoid it; But one thing is certain, and that is that the little bugs don't like it.

As time progressed, the crowd went deeper into the forest. Most of the day was spent in the car today, and it was not far from the time of darkness. So Uzov sent someone to inform the avant-garde and scouts to find a suitable camp site for today.

You can't wait until after dark to set up camp in the forest. Because under the dense shade of the trees, the visibility is not high, and the day is still like this; On a night when the moon is dim, the human beings inside are no different from the blind.

You have to make most of the preparations when you can see your surroundings clearly. Otherwise, the cruelty of nature will give a vivid lesson at the cost of the life of the negligent.

Just as Uzov was thinking about what to pay attention to when camping at night, there was another commotion at the front of the group. It's the same young guy again, sent by other old bird scouts to run errands, but it's also possible that the young man is happy to ask for credit. At least judging by his expression, Uzov guessed that it wouldn't be a bad thing.

"Hey, boss, guess what we see up front?"

Uzov gave Mel a questioning look to the side, and the dark elf just shook his head. It doesn't seem to be an animal, or a demonic man-eating plant. These creatures will be captured by the detection magic of the rifle. Then it would make the scout act so excited, Uzov thought of only one possibility. He asked tentatively, "Could it be that you found it?" ”

"Hey, boss, how do you know?" The young scout asked in surprise.

"The way you look is just written on your face, I can't guess it." Uzov did not angrily teach the young offspring a lesson. And he said, "The location of the discovery is just ahead?" Did you inform the master? ”

However, looking at the commotion in the team, and Uzov knowing the character of this young man, it is estimated that the discovery will almost be known to everyone. So he simply instructed the guards around him: "Go to a group of people first to consolidate the defense of the discovery site." Boy, go and ask the master and lead him to the place where you found the wood. Even if I do find it, it is still unknown whether it can be used. So don't be happy too soon. ”

"You're a disappointment, boss. Think a little better, how. Life isn't all bad luck. The young man laughed.
