Even the brightest of the moons of magic is still hard to match the sun's brilliance. Because of a series of relationships such as angles, the three of them didn't realize that they were no longer on the flat ground until they walked out of a considerable distance.

"Whew. Mira shuddered, and cautiously grabbed her teacher and poked her head out to glance at it. "Click—" The gravel at her feet that she had accidentally kicked fell off the edge of the brown dirt and into the dark abyss that the moonlight could not reach.

"I gave up trying to understand what was going on. Sakura said, holding her forehead. It was clearly not a part of the swamp village, and even though the small slope with trees and shrubs that came out of it created some illusions at first, the impact began to make people involuntarily give up thinking after exploring the edge and discovering that it was nothing more than a flat area on the top of the mountain.

How far away from the original place is, the answer to this question is not even possible for a universal person like Henry.

However, based on the sparse vegetation around them, and based on the common situation in such a northerly place, they are afraid that they are at least in the mountains of more than a kilometer.

If Aya was here at this moment, she would have been the first to tell everyone about the existence of the "Tree Line" as Dr. Xingyong, explaining why there are usually no trees above the high mountains in the northern part of the Moon Country.

Henry also has the ability to say it, but he just doesn't like it.

The danger of the rift is an afterthought, but Mira and Sakura next to her are in a cold sweat when they think about it.

The direction of the exit did not correspond to the theoretical location in the real world at all, and this time it was considered lucky, even if it was above the kilometer peak, they were safe. Imagine if the exit was in mid-air, or on a higher mountain peak covered with snow all year round, at that altitude, even if you don't mention the cold, the thin air brought by the altitude alone would be enough to make you dizzy and die.

"Is this lucky or unlucky?" Mira's exclamation did not mean to get a real answer, and she knew that it should already be considered lucky, because things could have gotten worse. Still, getting involved in an event that you can't understand is still a frustrating thing.

All in all, what they had to do was relatively simple when the sages had already judged that it was about a kilometer or more mountain, and that the surrounding area was indeed characterized by a lack of trees.

Whether you are on the west coast or the east coast, in the icy Suomir or in the endless Abu Sera steppes, or even in the Crescent continent, many things still follow the same principle.

Where there is no vegetation, there is not much life, and even if someone would argue with you, there are still bugs and reptiles in the desert, and most of them still have to survive on the local plants to some extent.

Dense vegetation not only provides a source of food and water, but also stabilizes the local soil environment and gives small organisms a place to hide. And with these small creatures, birds and rats that prey on them also appeared, followed by larger predators that fed on these latecomers, and so on and so forth, a vibrant world was formed.

Plants are the foundation of everything, regardless of the environment or region. Animals must depend on the abundant plant resources in the environment to survive, even the self-proclaimed civilized species of humanoids who are more noble and intelligent than other creatures.

Perhaps the irony of the other four races is that, as the actually the most backward of the five races, humanity is the proudest and most eager to prove that it is the primate of all things.

Of course, there are wise people in human society who see this.

Similar versions of proverbs such as "a full bottle does not shake half a bottle" can be found in various civilizations, which is largely evidence that the more incompetent people like to behave, the more common it is to the human race – but let's get back to square one.

Descending the mountain path to find more vegetation - this may sound simple, but considering that it is nighttime and many places are not visible, it becomes much more difficult.

The sage's night vision is limited, and the night vision of this kind of advanced body-enhancing magic that human magicians have not yet mastered is not "bright at all times" as most people think, if this is the case, then the world in Henry's eyes will be too bright and lose its color.

The world is full of many kinds of "light", and only a few can be captured by the human eye. In the eyes of many animals in nature, even at night, it is not completely dark because their eyes can catch another kind of light for illumination.

The enhanced spells that the druids permanently portrayed on Henry's body not only make his night vision ability usually stronger than ordinary people, but also make him himself a "light source" and a "receiver" when the magic is activated.

To summarize simply - when activated, the sage can emit magic energy through itself, which is not normally visible, and then turn his eyes into a form that can see magic, and see through his own magic power.

This was a matter of course for the elves and the other three races, but only a few of the humans were gifted. The radiance from its eyes when it is used is similar to the expression of high condensation of magic power, which is why the Doctor Miss, who was born in the high-level elite circle of the Moon Country, blurted out the word "spiritual vision" after glancing at the sage before.

The majority of human mages still use a more "low-end" method, using magic to release a visible light source for illumination.

One of the benefits of this night vision spell is that it lasts much longer and costs less than visible illumination, as it is a passive spell. And it's not just the choice of seeing the magic that comes out of themselves, but in people who are free, they can also get vision through the dim starlight in the environment.

Another benefit is its concealment.

Everyone knows how striking a torch can be in the dark, and so is the visible light source released by the magician, and if anyone tries to search for you, your lighting will become a beacon for others.

But for all its myriad virtues, it is still not the result of an oversimplified imagination of "magic opens the world, the world becomes clear, magic closes the world dark". Because the ability to see is only to make one's eyes see the light source that is not normally visible, it is naturally difficult to see things clearly in these places where the light does not shine.

Although Henry could use the huge amount of magic power in his body to radiate, the radiation range of magic power was still limited, and the place they were in now greatly limited its use.

Due to the lack of time, the sage has yet to explain Mira and Sakura, but all in all, the relationship between the rift they strayed into, the wholeness and the magic is one that is cut and unorganized.

And because of this, after leaving the exit, at least near the hill where they were now, if they tried to use the magic as illumination, the dazzling and chaotic magic turbulence would probably make everything harder to see.

The "low-end" stuff becomes more reliable in this case.

As long as you have enough knowledge to be able to identify tree species, there are countless things that can be used in nature. The torch made from the old clothes curled at the other end of the branch could only burn out a dim light and quickly burn out, but there was a unique tree species in Crescent Island, called Pinus tabuliformis, which became the basis for the three of them to change the situation.

This hardy, alpine tree resembles its distant cousin on the Rigal continent and secretes a viscous resin. Although it took a lot of time to make bowls out of the bark and dye them due to the lack of tools, the increased brightness and duration of the torches was worth the effort.

It was a bit unpleasant for the pine resin to evaporate with black smoke when it burned, but the clouds in the sky were floating again, and as time passed, the moon of Sifunk's magic was about to leave them.

The so-called sharpening the knife and cutting wood, rather than rushing to the road while the moonlight is still there, the sage and the Luo'an girl who have been tested for a long time understand the importance of preparation.

They made a total of 10 torches in their hands, rolled them up with thin bark and tied them with strings, made a simple cylindrical mold, poured the remaining pine resin into them to make long strips, and put hemp rope into them as candlesticks, and when the pine resin solidified, they became simple candles.

Compared to candles made of animal fat or beeswax, it is not very useful. But now is not a good time to be picky. Moreover, pine resin is not too heavy to wear, it can not only be used as a combustion aid, but also can be applied to leather goods for waterproof and strengthening treatment.

Now that they've lost all their supplies, they're going to need everything they can to use to go down the mountain while exploring.

It took a lot of time to organize and collect, and when all this was completed, Luo An's belly suddenly rumbled in a moment of relief. In the evening, the squirrels she and Sakura ate had been exhausted by now, because of the influence of the high concentration of mana, the Luoan girl officially entered the level of a magician apprentice in a very short period of time - just the size of the mana pool, and this series of internal changes in the body also required a lot of consumption.

It's just that there is really no life above the tree line, and even if they search by while making torches, it is still difficult to find some wild fruits or animals that can satisfy their hunger.

If you ask for a life, you can only go down.

After solving the problem of lighting, because the team was only three people, they were very economical with the torch held by the Roan girl standing at the back, instead of one.

Sakura, who had little experience in the outdoors, stood between the two, and in front of him was led by a sage who was already better at night vision, so that even if the torch was at the end, he could still see through the firelight.

The way down the mountain is not as easy to find as imagined, because the existence of the mountain has not been considered to be convenient for humans to climb. In many places, a piece of water suddenly protrudes into the area, making you think you can go down the road, but in the end you find that you can't get through.

Even during the day, it can be very difficult to find a brand new way down the mountain. But they can't afford to carry it here for the night anymore, this altitude is already a bit chilly, and if it rains again, the likelihood of getting sick will be greatly increased.

However, even if they are in a hurry, they can't risk speeding up. Step by step, it is not overly cautious here, but basic common sense, because if you fall on flat ground, it will hurt at most, and if you fall in this kind of place, you may just "ah——————" and disappear into the abyss with a long tail note.

In addition to the advantage of experience, there is another reason for the most robust and powerful sages to start the descent: at a height lacking tall trees, it is not quite appropriate to describe it as "completely devoid of greenery", because there is a thin layer of moss growing in many places on the ground.

The environment cannot support the growth of large trees, but the greenery that is much lower than the trees for survival still exists.

The presence of moss allowed not only the lack of food, but also the lack of water to get some supplies. Although there was some standing water on the ground due to the previous rain, it took too much time for the muddy water to clean up.

In contrast, the fresh moss directly grabs the backlog, with a hint of sour but very clean water, which can very quickly moisturize the shriveled lips of the trio.

This absorbent moss not only has the benefit of being a source of water, but can also be used as a dressing to stop bleeding. After listening to the sage's explanation, Sakura decisively stuffed some of the moss into her waist pocket to prevent accidents.

But while the greenery gives them convenience, it also causes a lot of trouble. The mossy mountain path is a little slippery in many places, and this is another reason why the sage has the head in front - he is tall and strong, he is like a wall, even if Mira and Sakura behind him accidentally slip their feet, they will be stopped by the sage.

As for him making a mistake and falling, Miss Luo An had never thought of this possibility at all.

When the moon of West Funk's magic that had worked tirelessly to illuminate the land for a long time finally disappeared in the night sky, and the dimmer twin moons appeared in the night sky, the torches of the Roan Maiden finally illuminated the scenery they wanted—a dark green forest.

After several attempts to turn back and forth, they found the right path and left the barren slopes.

Whether or not the bodies of the samurai hidden in them will be discovered by someone later, no one has the energy to care about this kind of thing at the moment, they just walk towards the forest full of lush life.

I wonder if I can find something to feed myself through the night, which is still very long.
