Chapter 394: The Old Shadow
Duan Lie, who had completed the stage from the Great Battle Master to the Battle Spirit in the fierce battle, was supposed to immediately conduct deep meditation to firmly consolidate the strength of the first-level Battle Spirit, but after hearing Eric's words, Duan Lie decided to see what kind of secrets were hidden in the map in his mouth first.
The three classmates finally got together again, unlike in the past, this time there was no great Oaks to lead the team, but this was the perfect time to train them, the adventure in the Land of Fog had long trained them to be true adventurers, and now was the time for them to stand alone.
The three heads came together, and at first glance, Duan Lie looked at Eric in shock: "This is the map of the Dark Forest, right?"
The outline on the parchment scroll map was very rough and messy, but Duan Lie carefully observed it for a while, and still saw that this was a map of a dark forest, because some of the terrain in it was similar to what he had observed and noticed in the past two months, and on the map, there were two red dots, one large and one small, I don't know what it was for.
Eric is a natural geographer, no matter what kind of environment and occasion, as long as his eyes sweep over, he will generally not forget, so just now he told Duan Lie with certainty that this map is about the secrets of the dark forest.
Of course, this skill was learned by Duan Lie when he was chatting with Eric, and according to Eric, he was because he had cultivated the Wood Fighting Qi, and as long as there was grass and trees, he would not forget it.
Opposite Duan Lie's gaze, Eric nodded extremely solemnly: "That's right, it's from the Dark Forest, can you see what the two red dots on it represent?"
"Isn't it just a map, why make all the fuss. "Listening to Duan Lie and Eric's words, Bray came over after tying up the injured area.
Duan Lie glanced at Bray with a smile and said, "Brother Bray, don't underestimate this map, there must be some unknown secrets in it." ”
Bray looked at Duan Lie with a look of "it's strange to believe you" and asked, "How do you know?"
Duan Lie smiled, pointed to the map and said, "Actually, I'm not sure about this map alone, but with them, I think there must be a problem here." Duan Lie pointed to the corpse of the skinning walker on the ground and said: "Think about it, the skinning walkers have always been a rare species of the berserk orc race, how could they follow the orc thieves out to surround me, now that I see this map, I am sure that it was a complete coincidence that I met them, maybe they saw that I killed the orc thieves and came to help." ”
In fact, Duan Lie's thoughts just now were not like this, he thought that the skinning walker was haunted by the orc thieves, and after he killed the orc thief, he would naturally be subjected to the crazy revenge of the skinning walker, but now he realized that there was a problem with his thinking, the skinning walker had always been the elite team of the beast people, how could he be in the company of the orc thieves.
After listening to Duan Lie's explanation, Bray said in disbelief: "Listen to what you say, then tell me, why did the skinners appear here?"
Duan Lie took the map and looked at it carefully, not skipping every detail, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that there was something wrong, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see the reason, he scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I don't know, otherwise there are two special markings on it, one of them is very close to us, let's go over and take a look, maybe we can find something?"
"Good idea, dispose of the skinner's corpse and keep the clothes, there is a good chance that it will be useful. Eric said succinctly.
Brenu pouted, looking reluctant, but he knew very well that in the thirteenth dormitory, he was not as smart as Duan Lie in terms of mind, and he was not as careful as Eric in terms of thinking, so he had no right to speak, so he could only do what Duan Lie said.
Quickly took off the robe on the outside of the skinning walker, and put away all three sets of hoods, grinning disgustingly, and the three of them cleaned up before they went on the road.
......
The geographical location in the dark forest has led to many trees in the forest and it is difficult to walk, the three of them have overcome all the thorns and thorns, and finally found the location of the red dot, it took most of the day to look at the sky, the sky under the thick fog is a little bleak, it is estimated that it is already night, the three of them stopped, and after some discussion, they were ready to die here.
At night, the three tired classmates did not talk at night, but took turns to rest at night.
Duan Lie didn't rest much, he had just stepped into the realm of the war spirit, and he still needed a lot of time to consolidate his fighting spirit and battle spirit, sitting in the woods and looking at the misty moonlight, he began to think of the Xue Linglong with his braided hair in his impression.
For Xue Linglong, Duan Lie couldn't say where his good impression came from, maybe it was because her appearance resembled that of an Oriental, she was exceptionally different in the Tianfeng Empire, which made him feel a sense of sympathy, and the experiences of the two were similar, they were both lonely, no, it seemed that Xue Linglong's experience was a little better than herself, at least she had a drunken father.
But no matter what the reason, from the two to know each other, the affection between each other is indispensable perfection, that kind of perfection does not contain any external factors, as if they are born and naturally attracted to each other, Duan Lie once remembered that Xue Linglong would affectionately call herself "Brother Duan Lie" every time she saw herself, which was very good, very warm, and very warm......
Xue Linglong, where are you now? Are you in trouble?
Sitting in the woodland, Duan Lie looked at the dark sky in amazement, where it was shrouded in a thick layer of fog, just like Xue Linglong's identity, with an unpredictable illusion.
This night, Duan Lie was wasted, all his thoughts were on Xue Linglong, so that it was the next morning.
After waiting all night, and there was no movement around, Bray began to get irritable, and desperately wiped the robe of the skinning walker he was wearing, it seemed that the robe was very dirty, and he couldn't wipe it clean.
"Brother Bray, don't wipe it, what can't be wiped off is blood. Duan Lie looked at Bray speechlessly, and took off the hood on his head.
Bray angrily shook the hem of his robe, and said dissatisfiedly: "I've been waiting all night, how long will I have to wait, brother, didn't you say that you were going to kill Pirut? ”
"Just you?" Eric picked up a few wild fruits out of nowhere, picked one up and threw it over, almost hitting Bray.
Bray stood up violently: "What's the matter?
Eric didn't even look at him, and said disdainfully, "Idiot." ”
"Damn, Erik, I've put up with you for a long time......"
Bray was about to do it as he spoke, and Duan Lie had long been accustomed to the quarrel between the two of them over a trivial matter every day when they had nothing to do, so he smiled and stopped Bray, and changed the topic and said, "Okay, don't make trouble, or let's eat something first, and find it separately for a while." ”
Bray restrained his anger, sat on the ground, and said, "Brother, I'm looking at your face, otherwise I would have beaten him and didn't even know his mother." ”
"Who hits who doesn't know?" said Eric, rolling his eyes habitually.
Duan Lie: "......"
These two guys are simply natural enemies, and it hurts to not be noisy for a day, Duan Lie sighed.
After eating something casually, the three of them planned to spread out to find out about the enemy around the place where they rested last night, Duan Lie chose a path that seemed to be nothing, broke a branch and knocked on it to find clues.
After walking for about half an hour, there were no suspicious signs, he couldn't help but be a little discouraged, and he had nothing to do, he had an idea, summoned the seven-colored spirit Gu Xiao Qi, and took the little guy to continue his aimless search.
Walking and walking, suddenly, a figure in the woods flashed over, only a dozen meters away from him, Duan Lie subconsciously stood on his feet, and looked at the position where the figure left, only to see the small face of a porcelain doll flashing in front of his sight.
"Xue Linglong?" Duan Lie was stunned unexpectedly.
The one just now brought him back to his old memories of more than a year ago: Xue Linglong put on a thick cotton jacket, a plush shawl, tight leather pants and thickened pony boots made of the new monster fur, as if she had changed a person, no longer the little girl standing shivering in the cold wind with a pale face, her re-tied braids were neatly thrown behind, like an extraordinarily beautiful rich lady.
Duan Lie remembered very well that Xue Linglong was like an old photo that would never fade in his mind, still so beautiful and full of vitality, even if she shivered in the cold, her face would never lack a heart-warming smile.
"Xue Linglong?"
Duan Lie, who was awake, let out a loud shout, but the figure had already left along the south side, but he didn't hear Duan Lie's voice.
Duan Lie went crazy in a hurry, and the instantaneous step and the thunder longitudinal technique were used interactively, increasing the speed to the extreme, and the rhythm of the wind and thunder was like a zigzag ray that left one green and purple light after another in the woods, but no matter how hard he tried, he never saw the figure in his memory again.
Just when Duan Lie was extremely annoyed, suddenly, Xiao Qi flew back from not far away, and Xiao Qi, who was stunned with his wings, squeaked three times, Duan Lie was suddenly overjoyed: "Xiao Qi, who are you, did you see where that person went just now?"
"Squeak!"
"Really?" Duan Lie couldn't believe it.
"Squeak!"
Xiao Qi chirped happily, although the sound was not loud, but it flapped its transparent wings and flew towards the south side.
Duan Lie didn't think about it, and hurriedly sent a message to Bray and Eric, and then quickly chased after Xiao Qi......
