"Since everyone is fine, let's go. Before dark, be sure to find a place to camp, and we'll be spending the next few days in the forest. Kylelius said, standing up.

In Fiore, where summer is approaching, the scorching sun around 2 p.m. makes the city look like a steamer, and everyone on the street is sweating profusely.

It's the hottest time of the day.

It was at this time that the four of them came to the edge of the forest again. The remote location, and the denser woods compared to the previous one, made it look like an entrance at all.

This wasn't the same entrance they had just had.

Looking at this place, which was not right no matter how she looked at it, Bellamy couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Sister Norra, is there really an entrance here?" It looks like such a dense wood, I really can't see any way to go. ”

Norla didn't mind the questioning in his words just now, and said with a very confident smile: "Indeed, if it is under ordinary circumstances, this place really does not look like an entrance. But I can swear to His Majesty, Lord of Order, that this is the entrance to the Corrupted Forest. ”

Although Norra's oath made Bellamy somewhat believe that this was the entrance, he still waited for Norla's explanation, and it was certainly not as simple as it seemed.

Norla explains: "Although there seems to be no road here, as long as you go a little further, about 200 meters, you can see a small path, which is the secret route that my father found back then. Saying this, Norra's eyes showed a slight sadness and nostalgia.

And Cheryl on the other side also probed the 'wide area link' forward by more than 200 meters as Norla said. Did find a path that would allow a person to pass.

Seeing Cheryl's affirmative expression, Kellius asked Norla, "Then why do you want us to take this path? Is there anything special?"

Hearing this, Norla respectfully explained: "Your Excellency, have you not taken on a few missions? I have followed this path to the depths, and most of these missions have gathering places along the way, so I chose this road so as not to waste time on the road. ”

Kylelius smiled and said, "That's a really convenient route." Thanks to you, Norla. ”

"You've won the prize, and that's what I'm supposed to do, Lord Kyleus. The affectionate title made Norla blush slightly, and there was a faint expectation in her eyes.

Kyrlius didn't know what he was expecting from this expectation, but Cheryl, who was in the direct bloodline, understood the meaning.

"Then lead the way. Norla. Kylelius commanded.

"Yes. Come with me, three. Alnik, come on!" Norla agreed, and then the conductor's own companion who had been with him since childhood, a tall black canine with three heads, turned into a black light. Ran into the jungle.

That's it. A group of four people is led by 'Enik'. Through the dense jungle, we came to the path that Norla had spoken of.

As soon as she reached the path, Norla suddenly said, "Lord Kyleus." The first mission objective is not far ahead. As a creature, the eight-legged monitor lizard also needs water, so they generally live in places with plenty of water, and their strong strength allows them to grab a good piece of land on the outskirts of the forest. ”

"Are you saying there's a water source nearby?" Bellamy said.

"Yes, there is a small lake about a few hundred meters ahead, which has always been the territory of the eight-legged monitor lizard. Although it was a few years ago, I don't think there would be any magical beasts on the outskirts of this forest that would be able to snatch the territory of a group of high-ranking magical beasts like them. Norla said confidently.

After hearing this, Kylelius said decisively: "Go ahead, the first mission has begun." ”

Soon, Kylelius and the others found a source of water, but the difficult battle they expected did not come, because there were no enemies here. Not because the eight-legged monitor lizards have moved, of course, but because they've all died here.

The corpses of monitor lizards were scattered around the lake, the green blood was stained dark green, the strong smell of corpses attracted a large number of creatures that fed on carrion, and the white-billed crows in the sky also landed on the ground, gulping down a sumptuous lunch.

Here, rivers of blood flowed and mountains of corpses and bones were seabed.

"Your Excellency, it looks like these eight-legged monitor lizards have been dead for a long time, at least five or six hours. Bellamy said after carefully looking at the corpse, based on his rich experience.

"That is, there was a group of people who killed these monitor lizards before and then left. Kylelius concluded.

"Yes, so to speak, but something was wrong. Bellamy thought with a frown.

"It's really wrong, after these people killed the monitor lizard, they left without doing anything, not even stopping. So what is it for?" asked Kyleus.

"After killing these demonic beasts, they will not be unscathed, after all, they are high-level demonic beasts. Then they will leave here immediately and heal the wounded to restore their combat effectiveness, otherwise there will be a large number of other demonic beasts attracted by the bloody qi after being beaten, just like now. ”

Bellamy looked at the countless greedy eyes around him and continued: "Although the combat power is low, there are too many of them, this is just a normal judgment." ”

Looking at the puzzled eyes of the other three, Kylelius explained, "It can't be that a group of them killed an eight-legged monitor lizard of a tribe for nothing. No adventuring team would attack the Monster Horde in a senseless manner, even if they were no threat to them. ”

"You say that, and it does. In order to preserve their own strength, and at the same time, in order not to exterminate the Warcraft, usually the adventuring team will not take the initiative to attack the Warcraft other than the target. Bellamy said suddenly.

Kylelius nodded, and continued: "And looking at the appearance of these monitor lizards, they don't look like they are actively attacking. But the team had wiped them all out, and hadn't taken their most valuable stuff yet. ”

"It's true that none of their eyeballs have been removed, and there are no signs of other organs in their bodies being gouged up, which is really puzzling. Bellamy understood, looked at the corpse again, and said puzzled.

The eyeballs of the eight-legged monitor lizard have always been the most valuable thing on their bodies, and although their other organs and organs are valuable as high-level demonic beasts, even if they all add up, they are not as valuable as the eyeballs.

Their eyeballs were also one of the magic materials that Kylelius was looking for this time. (To be continued......)
