"Yes...... People from the fleet? ”

Lindsay had even planned to go on her own and continue exploring the forest.

The picture that appeared on the map at this moment was really unexpected for him.

He stood there for a moment before walking in the direction of the green dot, and when he was close to the edge of the poisonous mist, he did not forget to cancel the treant status.

"Drake, what's going on inside!"

"Anything new?"

Lindsay stepped out of the poisonous fog and immediately heard a familiar shout.

Razor came here with the members of the fleet, and there were quite a few of them, a total of more than a dozen people.

And unlike the last exploration.

In addition to the Awakened on the ship, there are a few more ordinary people in the team!

Among them was Vecner, who was following Lindsay on the boat.

Explore the forest with ordinary people...... Lindsay stepped forward with a subtle expression:

"Razor, so many people, all ready to enter the forest?"

Razor nodded:

"That's right, we discussed the result by the river."

"The situation of the secret realm being taken first is indeed suspicious, and there is no reason not to follow the investigation; But at the same time, the secret realm here can't be left alone, and everyone in the fleet also plans to develop it. ”

Lindsey asked:

"What does it mean to develop......?"

Razor immediately explained:

"Try to open a camp here and manage it."

The explorer pointed to the people behind him:

"Everyone here felt the need to continue investigating the situation, so they came along."

Hearing this, Lindsay kind of understood.

The divisions in the fleet were very serious.

On the premise of having a clear harvest of a secret realm, ordinary people also gave up their support for Razor's adventure plan.

The end result, of course, is to part ways.

Razor said it more tactfully, but these people in front of him should be the members of the fleet who still chose to support him.

Since they are all companions who came here after making a choice.

Lindsey said without reservation:

"Good news, I did find something in it."

"The people who destroyed the mycelium left traces, I just confirmed, they went due east."

Razor's expression was overjoyed:

"It's you, you can also find clues in this environment!"

Next, the team of more than 10 people completed the reorganization.

Lindsay was surprised that the merchant who had also organized the fleet was not attached to the secret realm in front of him.

The other party gave up the secret realm in front of him and planned to continue exploring the forest.

At the same time, he also helped carry luggage with his own skills, which solved many problems in carrying materials for the team.

A new team to bypass the Poison Mist.

Vecner followed Lindsay as if he were on a boat, but still turned his head to look behind him curiously from time to time:

"Mr. Drake, is there any danger in that poisonous mist?"

Lindsey nodded and replied:

"Ordinary people have only a dead end when they go in."

"Even if you do a good job of mouth and nose protection, the poisonous mist in the air will invade the body through the skin, and ordinary awakened people can't even deal with it."

Vekner had some palpitations on his face.

But then, more emotions are overtaken by a sense of anticipation.

His previous experience on the ship had made him yearn for the opportunity to become an Awakened One, and there was a vague reason for this adventure.

Wiecner couldn't help but ask:

"In addition to the poisonous mist, there should be a lot of magical things in it, right? It's a secret place after all! ”

Lindsay did not hide this:

"Yes, but it's all made of fungi, and most of them are poisonous. For example, I picked a mushroom that can make people's bodies swell after eating it, but it also has toxic side effects......"

Following the direction Lindsay pointed out, the group began to walk far through the forest.

It's been a full week.

However, without the intervention of the strong, the forest riots continued, and they were not immune to being disturbed when camping and sleeping at night.

Lindsey asked the 'locals' in the team.

In the early days of development, no one dealt with this problem.

But if it lasts for about 10 days at most, they will also dissipate naturally, and the current situation is obviously beyond the normal situation.

Until mid-September.

Lindsay: They climbed a hill in the middle of the forest.

If you look at it from this vantage point, you will find that the surrounding mountains have formed a rather complex staggered state.

Coincidentally, it was due east upwards.

The overlapping mountains are the most severe, piling up like folds on a Shar Pei's face, and squeezing out valleys that are difficult for outsiders to see.

"These valleys ......"

"The direction is exactly in line with the route."

In order to confirm the situation even more, Lindsay also pulled out the map to confirm.

Pull a straight line to the east from the Poison Mist Secret Realm, and you can just pass through the mountains in front of you!

"In that case, you can't say it without looking at it."

Lindsey informs her companions, and the course of progress is adjusted.

They took a lot of work.

Finally climbed the mountain, followed the narrow lonely path to the top of the mountain, and turned into a path hidden between the peaks.

When you come to a valley surrounded by mountains.

“……”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The mountains gently embrace a paradise.

It is full of greenery and life, and the towering ancient trees of emerald green abound, like a huge umbrella cover. There is also a gurgling spring that flows down from the top of the mountain, forming a waterfall and converging a blue lake like a mirror.

What greeted you was a strange and secret place.

The environment is full of the essence of warm life, and just breathing the air makes you feel refreshed.

To put it bluntly.

If no one violently extracts it, or consumes the essentia here.

Ordinary people who have lived here for a long time will have a higher probability of becoming awakened when they experience a essentia tide once in 10 years!

"This ...... Another secret place? ”

"If I can retire in this kind of place, this life will be complete."

“……”

A voice of surprise came from behind Lindsay.

In the crowd, it was Razor who was a little incredulous.

In the forest garden for more than 10 years, a total of three secret realms have been discovered, and excluding those that are secret, there will not be much.

As a result, their team went deep into the forest.

It's only been a little over a month, and I've already met two in a row?

Razor's demeanor betrayed unease and alertness.

It is normal for an explorer's experience to reap the benefits of adventure. But if huge gains come one after another, even beyond common sense, then it often means danger.

Razor cautiously asked Lindsay:

"Drake, can you scout what's going on?"

Lindsey naturally nodded in agreement.

He used two reconnaissance methods at once.

On the one hand, he poured the eagle eye potion directly, climbed to the high point of the mountain next to him, and looked into the valley with his enhanced sight.

It's a pity that although this is a secret place, it can't escape being disturbed by the state of the forest.

The bodies of countless of these plants are twisting and rubbing, and it is impossible to discern any details with sight alone.

But on the open map.

Lindsay, however, found something peculiar.

In addition to the green dots around him, in the middle of this secret realm of life, there were some red marks that symbolized hostility!

It's the humans who dug up the core of the mycelium in the secret realm of poisonous mist.

Or is it that the inner part of this secret area is inhabited by demonic beasts that are hostile to humans?

“……”

Lindsay's brow furrowed.

He pulled out his bat staff, summoned two bats, and flew deep into the forest under the cover of the trees.

Lindsay herself jumped off the cliff and returned to her companions:

"There's nothing wrong with this secret realm on the surface."

"But inside it, there seems to be something hostile to us."

Hearing Lindsay's description, the teammates also nodded in understanding.

The next step was to dive in.

There is a high probability of a battle with the enemy.

But at the moment when they were ready to go and prepare to enter the secret realm.

The merchant in charge of transporting the luggage in the team suddenly stopped and called everyone in a subtle and special tone:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I must warn you."

"I feel a huge fluctuation in the amount of value here!"

Razor asked:

"You say the treasures inside are valuable?"

The merchant shook his head. He pondered for a while, and then replied with a little embarrassment:

"I mean—my peers may have visited here."
