The night sky is full of stars, and there are few strange stars in the sky tonight.

I didn't even see a few shining stars, and I was plunged into a very hard to see darkness.

Jason lit up a few of the illuminating stones in his pocket rings and hung them all over the ship.

"It's been a long time since I've used this thing, and I'm really nostalgic." Looking at the lighting stones hanging everywhere, Bororo said as he swam slowly beside the ship.

"yes."

Julia sat on the edge of the boat, her beautiful fishtail gently swaying in the water.

The swamp was unusually quiet.

There isn't even a slight sound of wind, and it's unlikely that there will be insects here.

The bottom of the swamp vines as far as the eye can see, and the night sky seems so quiet. It seems that a gentle shout can be transmitted far away.

On the smooth sailing of the Feiyan, Alka sat in the bow of the ship.

He was surrounded by a barrier of invisible magic, a combination of several hedrons and poly stones, floating above his head.

Arka is meditating for the day.

Feel the pull of the magic in the air around you.

Among the crowd chatting in the middle of the night, Simon suddenly said, "Arka is going to break through?" ”

Xia Daiti nodded: "It should be about to break through to the 24th spiral." ”

"That's fast." Jason's voice came from behind the crowd.

Although everyone was chatting at the stern of the ship, they could see a huge platform connected to the tail of the Feiyan.

The entire platform is concave and embedded with the tail of the Delphinium, and the structure of the platform and the underwater propeller behind it can be seen that this is Simon's masterpiece.

The booster devices on the swamp are also able to expand their resting area on the water.

Mainly when creating a resting place for the crystal dragon, the idea that came up with it was made into a booster by the way.

The main thing that allows them to sail around here a little faster is to connect to the Swift through the large platform behind them, so that the Swift has more buoyancy.

In this way, you can use the booster to drive quickly on the surface of the water without worrying about it rubbing against the vines in the water.

At this time, the crystal dragon was curled and lying on it.

And Jason leaned against the crystal dragon's back.

Urullius even used one of his wings to cover Jason.

"It's a bit fast to say, it's only been 20 days since the last breakthrough, right? Is there 20 days? Juan Lu asked, somewhat uncertain.

"19 days, less than 20 days." Lucilia replied.

Jason leaned on the crystal dragon's back and shook his head helplessly: "I really can't figure it out, why is it so fast, is it some kind of medicine?" ”

They are now far away from Arka.

The gap has grown to about 5 or 6 spirals, and it will get bigger and bigger.

The people on the ship were generally still around 18 or 19 spirals.

This is still less, more such as Materissa and Juan Lu, which have exceeded 8 spirals.

"I heard that the strength in his dream has improved too much, and even the strength in his reality is accelerating.

When it comes to the fourth stage, the situation will be eased a lot. Xia Daiti explained beside him.

"Relaxation? Is the word used accurately? Simon complained next to him.

It was as if he had fallen under some curse and was weak.

If this is some kind of debilitating curse, you're welcome, come to him.

"For Alka, it should be considered a détente. After all, I heard him say that reality and dreams are too separated, and there may be irreparable accidents. Lucilia said beside her.

Everyone was chatting and chatting on the boat in the middle of the night, spending a boring time.

Until someone came and said.

"To play cards or not?"

"Hit!"

"Add me one."

"I want it too."

"Then I'm ......"

"There are too many people, and whoever loses the rotation will still have to give money."

As he spoke, he glanced at Jason, who was smiling awkwardly next to him.

Everyone is rich now.

He is still poor, not only poor, but also in debt.

It's all about investing in the future.

He cheered himself up like this in his heart.

……

I feel that my strength has been perfectly broken and solidified. Arka finished her meditation today and slowly opened her eyes.

There was the sound of everyone talking in my ears, and the voice seemed to be a little excited.

It's so late, don't you take a break?

Listen carefully.

"King fried! No cards, is it no cards, the last two. ”

"Haha, give money to money, and you will continue to owe. Today adds up to a golden sail. ”

Hearing the content of everyone's shouting, Arka shook his head helplessly. After cleaning up the sweat from meditation, I turned off the Gathering Stone and the machine it constructed.

I happened to see Lucilia sitting at the rudder of the ship, flipping through a heavy book, bigger than her people.

"You're not going to play?"

"Hmph, I don't play it, boring game." With a soft snort, Lucilia continued to look at the book in front of her.

Hearing this, Arka couldn't help but smile and think about Lucilia's card skills before.

Obviously, I have lost too much, and I have lost my mood.

He didn't say anything more, and sat next to him with a smile. He took the map out of his pocket ring and looked at the distance on the map in the direction he felt the flower fairy had given him.

"How long have we been sailing?"

Hearing Alka's question, Lucilia continued to flip through the book and replied, "It's been 6 days. ”

"It's been six days, well, then we should be here now, and we should be on this island in two days.

It happens to be an important connection point with the giant tree habitat, and it should be a fortress. ”

Arka said and took a closer look.

The map in his hand was no longer the one that Xia Daiti had copied before, but had become a more professional and detailed map clearly drawn by the locals in the Land of Fragrance, and even marked some routes.

One of the more suitable routes is the one he is going to now.

Then the island is likely to be a fortress, after all, the giant tree habitat is chaotic.

Not to be able to keep the cultist scum out, but at least to make it difficult to get them over.

……

After two days of sailing, they were finally on the verge of reaching the last island and entering the Giant Tree Habitat.

"I can already see the soldiers patrolling around." Simon in the sky said to the crowd below.

He was sitting in his specially constructed flight seat, scouting the sky for the distance.

They spotted the soldiers, and a little while as they walked, the soldiers spotted them.

Riding a creeper with a weapon in hand, he came towards them, especially when the group looked strange.

After all, it's not surprising that there are all kinds of races in a team.

"What are you...... Wait, are you guys that team, the one with Alka. ”

The captain of the soldier who had wanted to ask them asked after seeing some of their situation clearly, and instantly recalled something and asked.

Arka walked out and nodded.

"I'm Arka."

"It's all adults, come with us." As he spoke, the captain led them in the direction of the island.

"We have received a letter from the Fragrant Country, and thank you for your help to our hometown."

"Where, that's what we're supposed to do."

Arka said with a smile.

The communication between the people along the way was very friendly, and they entered the island in front of them very smoothly.

As Arka thought, the island was indeed a fortress island. The perimeter of the island is also walled with vines.

However, the vines were not as green as the ones they had seen on the walls of the emerald fortress, but mixed with a faint dark gray.

It looks a little dirtier.

"Welcome to the Grey Vine Fortress, further on is the Chaos Giant Tree Habitat, do you want to rest in the fortress for the night?

I've been running around for so long, why don't I continue to act tomorrow, it's late at night. ”

The soldier said, looking at the sky.

There are a lot of bright stars in the sky tonight, but there are no of the huge stars that often appear.

It's been hours into the night.

Hearing the words of the soldier captain, Arka thought for a moment and nodded.

"Then I'll be tired of you."

"No trouble, no trouble, our honor, ladies and gentlemen, please come with us."

The captain smiled and led them into the fortress, and after a conversation, led them to a central room.

But after all, it was a fortress, and there was no such thing as a large room where they could all rest in one place, but all the surrounding rooms were vacated for them to rest.

"I'm really bothering you."

"Where, my lords, rest quickly, although it is not very comfortable here."

"It's already very good, it's much better than sleeping in the open, isn't it."

"Haha, my lord is right."

The crowd quickly returned to the room they had prepared for them and rested.

You can't expect the beds in these rooms to be comfortable in this fortress, but the warm rooms are much better than resting on the ships on the swamps.

At the very least, he was a closed house, sheltered from the cold wind and dampness.

It was early in the morning.

Everyone had already woken up one after another, and soon after waking up, the curtain of the sky was torn open.

Several soldiers brought some breakfast to their rooms.

"Please take your time."

Although it seems simple and normal.

But for a fortress, for strangers who have just arrived, it is already considered to be meticulous.

After eating, everyone came to the door of the room in good spirits, ready to leave the fortress and continue towards their destination.

"Are you going to leave?" The leader of the soldier squad who brought them yesterday asked.

Arka nodded: "Well, after all, there is still a task to be done. ”

"Then let me introduce some of the information we already know so that I can help you."

Hearing this, Arka did not refuse, let alone have a reason to refuse.

Leaning against the surrounding walls, listening to the captains around him.

"Go forward, through the emerald green belt. It's the crippled reef, where a large number of scum who have lost their battles and survived.

Please don't have pity on any of them, for none of the people living there are innocent.

However, they live on the edge and may not be able to meet them, but they must be careful when they do. ”

Although he didn't understand what the situation was, Arka nodded his head to show that he understood.

"Next to it, there's a larger, chaotic area. Most people call it the Ship Burning Yard, and there are several pirate bands, as well as some cults, and some exiled scum.

There are all kinds of criminals here, big and small, and many of them will sneak over and loot the surrounding villages.

It's chaotic, but it's close to the edge of the entire giant tree habitat. So there's no character that's too powerful. ”

The captain told everyone all the information he knew.

"Thank you, your intelligence is important to us."

"It would be nice to be able to help you."

Arka nodded, then said goodbye to the soldiers around him. Riding the Feiyan, which had already been moved forward by these soldiers, he continued to move forward.

Arka sat on the deck.

Look at the markings on the map, and the area roughly drawn by the soldier from earlier.

"At our current pace, it will probably take us more than half a day to cross the border, and then we will be here in the emerald belt."

As he spoke, Hailka also clicked on the emerald green border line on the map.

It is so named because it is a long forest of verdant forests.

The environment inside is complex, and it is also inhabited by many dangerous creatures, and it is easy to get dangerous when you walk through it.

Fortunately, this emerald green belt is long, but not wide.

Generally speaking, it takes two or three hours to walk through.

As long as it's not too unlucky, it's generally not too dangerous.

"After passing through here, there is a broken reef here, and there are many cunning people, but they are not dangerous." To put it simply, it's an area where people with disabilities gather.

You can't expect much combat power in this area.

However, according to their plan and this area, they will hardly get too close, and they should not encounter those people above.

It's more about the large area that also includes the broken reef, which is not small.

According to the route they have taken, it will take six or seven days to go straight through.

It's equivalent to a wide range from fragrant scents to border corners.

Follow the mark of the captain of the soldier just now.

The three well-known pirate groups need to be noted on the border of this area, that is, in the direction of the sea.

After all, the organization of the people is still a pirate group, and they still have to leave the shore to make a living by robbing.

What they need to pay special attention to are the scumbags in the region, as well as the cults.

The leaders are all in the fourth stage, but most of the subordinates have less than even three stages.

So there is a threat to them, but not a big threat, as long as they are vigilant enough.

Arka felt the guidance that the flower fairy had given him.

Draw a straight line on the map in this direction.

The straight line went straight through the area towards an unknown area further back before reaching the sea.

With a bit of luck, they might be able to reach their destination in this area. If you're unlucky, you'll have to go to another part of the world.

In the words of the captain of the soldiers, this can only be considered a corner.

The main reason is that the location over there doesn't seem to be very good, and the environment is not very good, so no one wants to come here to strengthen.

Being able to drive these ghost forces here means that the area further back must be a hard stubble.

It's a bit of a hassle.

……

At night, the sky was just being covered by a curtain.

Stars and glowing stars hang high in the sky, adding a touch of light to the night of the endless sea.

The boat on which Arka and the others were riding could already see rows of dark shadows in the distance.

The rows of dark shadows stretched out into the unsightly direction, and it seemed that there was a green belt.

They are about to cross the border line.

"Cheer up, let's go to the Verdant Belt first, and then find a place to rest." Arka said as he looked into the distance.

Although this area can be a dangerous place for others. But for them, it is also a better place to rest.

After all, they are not ordinary people, and there is a puppet girl on guard, so there is no need to worry about it.

Soon the Feiyan piloted by everyone had already arrived at the periphery of this emerald green belt.

Arka watched as the roots reached deep into the water and the vines below were tightly intertwined.

I looked up.

"How do these trees grow so tall one by one?"

The height of these trees is generally more than ten meters, and you can even see more than 20 meters, densely stacked on top of each other.

The tree itself looks like a vine entwined, and there are links and entanglements between the trees, making it look dangerous.

"Forget it, let's go in first, pay attention to concealment."

After Aka finished speaking, Jiu had already flown into the forest with their team.

In such an area with severely limited vision, Simon would not be able to play a very good reconnaissance role.

It can only be given to the Nine Squad in the Puppet Knights and the One Squad in charge of the sentry spying work.

The whole process was methodical.
