Hidden Eyebrows, Kupe, and White Charm galloped in unison, and in a few moments they hurried from the rear of the team to the forward position, and now the entire team had almost passed the entire crocodile trail, except for the supply company behind.

The so-called crocodile trail is actually a pebble path outside a secluded bowl-shaped valley under one of the highest mountains in the area, where the grass is abundant. On the right side of the trail there is a steep gray-green slope that connects to the northern foot of the mountain like a bridge.

Kupe's vanguard had reached the top of the hill in good light, and there seemed to be no enemy forces approaching, but everyone knew that in such a mountainous terrain, it was impossible to see with the naked eye. Yin Xinmei remembered what Bai Mei said, Xiong Ya might have lurked in a dense forest with the spirit soldiers of the Divine Cow, or behind a certain foothill.

Although he still can't help but feel worried when he thinks of bear teeth, he is a friendly army, not to mention, this place itself is in the territory of the Windsor family, and the country of Jalal itself has not been peaceful in recent years, and it is very likely that the pursuers or spies of the bloody Meili have been ambushed nearby. Not only that, but she remembered that Prince Andur's domain was only a river away from the Bloody Rose, and that this had always been a staunch supporter of the Grand Duke of Jin and the King of Babylon, and that he had almost publicly called out King Tanterre in the Golden City and stepped down in front of all Jalals.

Not only that, but as the date of the Golden City Carnival is approaching day by day, and various forces at home and abroad have appeared on the scene, competing with each other, Hidden Heart has always been obsessed with the Babylonian King Nebugar, who had spent so much effort to get himself, and did not hesitate to sacrifice the Moro Guard, the Austa Jiao Fury, and the Sacred Cow Army in the Battle of the Valley, and he was such a man who would not give up until he reached his goal, she had always been worried that he had some terrible and cruel aftermath waiting for her.

Of course, she didn't say a word about these worries to Kupe or Bai Mei, because she felt that saying such worries would only make her comrades panic all day long, so she just told Kupe to let his spies or pioneers do a detailed survey before they passed. Hidden Eyebrows could see that Kupe had a stomach full of questions, but she firmly rejected him with her eyes, and he had no choice but to swallow back a stomach of questions and silently carried out Hidden Eyebrows' request.

For now, Hidden Brow could only hope that there were no enemies or spies watching them before they penetrated into the heart of the Banshee Forest, and judging from the news of the carrier pigeons released by the vanguard troops, there was no movement from the top of the mountain, and even if there was danger nearby, they had been carefully concealed without fail.

At the end of the crocodile trail was an extremely steep hill with rocks that could not be ridden, so everyone dismounted, took the reins, and saluted, and after a long day of climbing, Hidden Eyebrow was the first to reach the top of the slope, followed by Kupe and White Charm, panting.

At the top of the slope, they found that they could see the border of the Banshee Forest beyond an overgrown ruin, and a small hill not too steep or too difficult to climb.

They didn't have to rest long before starting again, going down the steep slope with a full face, and the descent was not much easier than the uphill, especially to prevent the fall slide. When they stepped into the ruins, they found that they were simply ruins left over from ancient times, and the grass was desolate. In the middle of the ruins was a cone-shaped pile of rubble, black from the top to the bottom, as if it had been scorched by fire in the heat.

The grass around the rubble pile was completely burned by the fire, and the weeds in the ruins were either scorched or yellowed and withered. It was as if a devastating fire had swept through the area countless centuries ago, and there was no sign of life around.

Standing on the edge of the ruins, the terrain here is still on the high side, and the surrounding scenery is in full view, and unlike before, it can be seen for hundreds of miles of scenery. Except for the dark and dark Banshee Forest not far away, most of the area here is desert or strange rocks, with no features, only the south side of the Banshee Forest can also see a few sparkling water surfaces.

On the southern slope at the foot of the Hidden Eyebrows, the crocodile trail they had trekked before, looking back, the gray-white path winded through the undulating hills, skirting the swarthy mountain beams, and finally disappearing into the jagged ruins.

They followed the borders of the Banshee Forest and looked east, the majestic mountains that stood like a barrier in the distance, the dim brown hills scattered around the scattered groves, and beyond the Banshee Forest stood the grey foothills of the sky, and at the end were the towering snow-capped peaks, shrouded in mist.

"Well, we've finally reached the border of the Banshee Forest!" said Kupe, "this place is lifeless, even more eerie than the black prison of Cloudcast, and I wish I could meet the Duchess's pursuers here, or the surprise cavalry of Prince Andur! Behold, there is no water, no wild beasts, no shade, not a living man but us. I'm wondering, what terrible new friends are here?Your Highness Yin, can you explain it to me?"

"If you had looked around for yourself, you probably wouldn't have said that. Hidden eyebrows looked around and said, "I did find some traces, it seems that someone has already arrived here before us." They are very careful and leave almost no traces. ”

"How did you spot these people when there was no trace?"

"I relied on instinct before," Hidden eyebrows suddenly bent down to examine one of the stones on the pile, it was flatter than the others, and its eyes were whiter, only this one seemed to have escaped the fire. Hidden Eyebrows reached out and picked up the stone, put it in her hand and looked at it carefully, and finally she said, "But now, I have found obvious evidence," she handed the stone to Kupe, "Look at this." This stone has been touched recently, what do you think of the scratches?"

Kupe took it with a puzzled face, and when he looked closely, he saw a few engravings at the bottom of the flat stone, and he weighed it and said, "Like two circles, one pinch and one pinch, and three vertical lines—what is this?"

"This is the text of the Divine Cow Clan," Bai Mei took over the conversation, answering Kupe's question in place of the Hidden Eyebrows, and then looked at her master and said, "It seems that master, the Divine Cow Messenger is not lying. ”

"The Sacred Ox Clan?!" Kupe cried out in astonishment, "the legendary brutal cannibals, the secret weapon of the King of Babylon to kill people without blinking?!!Are they waiting for us in front of you?!, is this what you call a terrible new friend?"

"Yes—but to me, it's a less scary old friend. ”
