Walking out of the gloomy jungle, the feeling of being stared at behind by a pair of eyes finally disappeared.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the glazed beast was not easy to mess with......

At any point, they would suddenly pounce out of the grass somewhere, and there were few elves in the caravan who could stop the glazed beasts.

Wizard Majeri and Captain Sindeji analyzed that the reason why the glazed beasts in this territory did not emerge may be because there were too many elves in the caravan, and the glazed beast was probably frightened by the elves when it saw so many elves.

So much so that the means prepared by the caravan to defend against the glazed beasts were useless,

Scarlett Mage was looking forward all the way, hoping that a glazed beast would emerge from the woods.

Then the adventuring group swarmed up and killed the glazed beast.

She had long wanted a magic cloak made of glass animal skin, but this kind of magical beast leather was hard to come by, and as soon as this kind of animal skin appeared in a leather shop, it would be immediately bought by regular customers, and Scarlett magicians could not buy it at all.

Unable to hunt the glazed beast, Scarlett Magician is somewhat regretful.

Everyone walked out of the territory of the glazed beast and stood on a grassy slope with sparse woods, and the head of Sindeji pointed to the dark mountains in the distance, and introduced to everyone:

"That's the griffin fortress, four days south from here, you can probably reach the fortress village, we have to be careful of the griffins in the sky, there are often griffons in this area, often attack the merchants, but don't worry, we are also prepared, as long as they dare to fall, we will not let them have a chance to fly."

The elven hunters stood on the grassy slopes, looking up at the griffin barrier in the distance, their faces beaming with joy.

"It's finally coming, I didn't expect to come to Barrier Village this time, it would be so smooth......"

A group of half-blood elves chatted happily.

Roy also stood in the elves, surrounded by members of the party.

Instead of looking at the barrier mountains in the distance, he raised his head to look up at the sky, and could vaguely see that there were small black dots suspended in the air, and those black dots were constantly hovering in the air, and he thought they should be griffins.

Captain Sindeji didn't stay on the hillside for long, he didn't want to keep the caravan in sight from the griffons.

Walk with the caravan into a wooded field......

The closer you get to the griffin barrier, the trees in this woodland become very sparse, and the slopes that can't be sheltered by the branches of the trees are overgrown with weeds, and the weeds are littered with rubble.

It was in this weed-filled woodland that the head of the regiment led the caravan along a path that was almost indistinguishable.

In order to deal with the griffins in the sky, Roy discovers that Captain Sindeji has specially prepared two sky-shooting crossbows.

These giant crossbows are bulky and are usually fixed to shelves, and each sky-shooting crossbow is specially carried by a horse.

As soon as the griffin appeared, the elves in the caravan loaded the crossbow strings and loaded the wind magic arrows into the slot of the crossbow shooting.

In general, griffins will not shoot crossbow arrows as long as they don't get close......

Many times, the Sky Crossbow is not used to hunt griffins.

It is only a tool used to deter griffins, and those griffons in the sky are also very smart, as long as they see a crossbow in the sky, few griffons dare to risk their lives to dive down.

Probably because there were too many elves in the caravan, and there were more and more griffons hovering in the sky.

Although it seems to be just black dots the size of sesame seeds, no one can guarantee that they will not impact the caravan.

Captain Sindji had no choice but to abandon the path through the barren grass, and he led the group into the forest again, in order to avoid the griffons.

The road is getting harder and harder......

Many times, the party has to lead the horses, and at this time, the horses become a burden.

Sometimes it seems that there is no road at all, but Captain Sindeji can find a passage from a hidden location and lead everyone through the narrow passage.

Roy found that there were many benefits to having a guide who was familiar with his surroundings.

Especially in the event of danger, the guide can lead everyone to avoid these dangers in time.

Otherwise, in the face of this vast wilderness, patches of barren grass and dense forests, it is not easy to find a way, let alone find the barrier village at the foot of the mountain.

……

Watched by these griffons all the way, the griffons also wanted to find an opportunity to attack the caravan, but the griffons who rushed down several times to investigate the situation saw the two sky-shooting crossbows, so they didn't dare to rush down at all.

The caravan walked through the wilderness for another four days, and finally came to the foot of the Griffon Barrier Mountains.

Roy also saw this walled village built in a dense forest.

Strictly speaking, the village was built in a col, with scattered treehouses scattered throughout the hillside, hidden in the canopy of trees, in various shapes.

The elves showed their romantic and beautiful nature when building wooden houses.

Moreover, there are so many treehouses in this village that at first glance I didn't think there were anything, but when Roy took a closer look, he found that most of the giant trees had treehouses on them.

There are a lot more elves in this village than Roy thought......

A small stream meanders north from the valley floor, and the path to the creek is paved with stone steps, and the road is lined with mossy glades, and the whole col looks very beautiful, like a paradise.

If it weren't for the occasional griffin flying overhead, Roy would have thought this was an escape......

Everywhere you go, it's like you're living in an oil painting.

The sun shines through the leaves into the glade, and the speckled pillars of light make the woods distinctly colorful.

"This is the Barrier Village, the largest elven village outside of Padestor City." Head Sindeji introduced to everyone.

Then he turned to the half-blood elven hunters and said:

"If any of you want to settle in the Barrier Village, you'd better visit the village chief here, you don't have to follow us all the time."

After receiving the guidance of the head of the Half-Blood Elf Hunters, they walked towards the highest building in the Barrier Village, and everyone wanted to visit the Commander of the Barrier Village......

The adventure group, led by Marjery's guide, also said goodbye to the caravan, and the caravan stayed in the barrier village for two days, and after completing the acquisition mission, they left here and continued to the next village.

The party will stay in the village before continuing their plan to climb the Barrier Mountains.

The adventure group has spent seventeen days in the Partington plane, counting the four days of delay on Partington Island, more than half a month has passed, and it will take about twenty days to return, that is, the time left for the adventure group to venture here is less than twenty days.

At last they arrived at a place familiar to Marjery's guide, and he led them to a hotel.

The hotels in the village are almost identical to those in Padestol, with a dozen or so wooden houses built on several large adjacent trees, and then the wooden houses are connected to each other by hanging ladders, which means that if you climb to the top of the tree, the tree houses are connected to each other, as long as you take the hanging ladders that overhang the top of the tree.

Because everyone didn't have a good rest on the trip, Nora decided to spend two days in the hotel.

This time, Instructor Nora chartered a total of two treehouses, which had a total of ten rooms, each with its own bathroom, which made Roy very satisfied.

He felt that in the days of hiking in the jungle, he could not take a bath every day, and he was walking in the hot and humid jungle, and he had to sweat a lot every day, his body was sour and smelly, and he felt that he was about to grow mushrooms.

Take a comfortable shower, wash all the clothes that need to be changed, and hang them on the terrace outside your room.

Living at the top of a tree has the advantage of just stepping out of the house, standing on the terrace and enjoying the dazzling sunlight, and returning to the treehouse, which is extremely cool under the shade of the leaves.

Sabrina, who lived next door, was also drying her clothes, while Miss Christine had a half-blood fairy maid with a basket in her hand, and when she left, she carried two baskets full of clothes to be washed......

Sabrina's wet hair, dripping down, smiled at Roy:

"I'm used to pushing the door and looking at the sea, and now I live in a mountain col and look at the endless green hills, how does it feel?"

Roy pointed to the towering Barrier Mountains behind him and said to Sabrina, "When we climb to that cliff, maybe there will be a more beautiful view!" ”

As he spoke, a griffon slipped from the cliff face, circled beyond the range of the crossbow, and let out a few terrible cries, as if it was demonstrating towards the barrier village, and as if it was provoking......

However, the residents seem to have been accustomed to it for a long time, and no one is surprised by it.

Roy found that on several of the tallest and most lush trees in the village, there were actually a few sky-shooting crossbows, at first Roy thought that there were only a few scattered, and when he counted them carefully, he found that there were still some sky-shooting crossbows hidden in the dense branches and leaves, and the few sky-shooting crossbows he saw were just the tip of the iceberg.

The half-blood elves who live here are indeed far away from the strife of the elven world, but they have to face the harsh natural environment.

"Hey, it's the elves who live here, and it's a feeling of returning to nature when we live here, we're used to a comfortable life in Castletown, and we've probably forgotten what the real jungle life is, and we've been hiking in the jungle for a few days, and I've finally regained some of the feelings of our youth."

Instructor Fergill's voice came from the terrace of the treehouse next door.

"Seeing that you enjoy it so much, wait until the day after tomorrow, I will let you do the work of pathfinding, so that you can deeply experience what it means to be close to nature, okay?" Instructor Eleanor's voice came out.

Instructor Virgil on the next terrace was silenced.
