After several days of hard struggle, Duan Shanyue finally persisted until now.
Relying on some vague memories and experiences, he stumbled to the deepest part of the Emerald Forest. Of course, he also encountered the same treatment here. Without the help of powerful NPCs, his situation was much more difficult than Duan Qing and others.
But he still gritted his teeth and came through.
As one of the leaders of "Jianghu", the largest guild in cash, there is no doubt about Duan Shanyue's strength. Just like his own position, he led many brothers in the guild to go deep into the steep mountains of the free world, overcoming numerous obstacles and overcoming obstacles, and made a lot of contributions to the guild's foothold in the free world. However, because of this, he I can also deeply understand how terrifying the deep and dark places of a free world like the Emerald Forest are.
It was indeed a place where people were eaten everywhere.
Climbing over a tree root that curved up like a wall, he ducked and dodged a steel needle flying from behind. Those were not actually needles made of steel, but just bullets from some vines. But in Duan Shanyue's eyes, these things were indeed as sharp as steel needles.
When he ran past this place before, he saw this kind of vine wrapped around a certain tree trunk out of the corner of his eye. If I hadn't seen his terror before, I wouldn't have made such an exaggerated evasive action now - the width of the vines is about the same as a human being, the entangled tree trunk is as thick as a house, and the light green color is also in such an environment. They were more colorful, so when Duan Shanyue saw these things for the first time, he paid attention to them. After that, he saw all the attacks they launched.
So he doesn't want to be pierced right now.
The roar of the beast sounded. Regardless of his own injuries, he quickly climbed up from the ground. There seemed to be a small green snake biting him on the left side. It looked like it was not something to be trifled with. Without stopping, he moved his right hand towards A punch came out over there.
Amidst the explosion in the air, before the small snake-like creature could get close, it was blown away by Duan Shanyue's extremely fierce punch and fell into the grass in the distance. Broken Mountain continued to run wildly, and on the "top" of the tree roots behind it, black shadows rolled over one after another.
They were black gorillas, and they were holding all kinds of things in their hands. One of the orangutans screamed strangely and pointed in the direction of Broken Mountain.
Turning around a big tree, Duan Shanyue looked back in a moment of leisure, and then gritted his teeth.
Damn it, these orangutans have become monsters, and they can actually use weapons. He once rolled over to avoid the crossbow arrows flying from behind!
Duan Shanyue is going crazy. If any bastard dies in their hands, it's just a gift of weapons from thousands of miles away. What's the reason for these monkeys to learn to use weapons!
These places, this weird forest...
He's had enough!
However, nature still wouldn't give him time to complain. Another ax flew past his scalp. He shrank his neck and quickly retracted his complaint. He covered the tattered leather armor that was about to fall apart and continued his work. of escape.
In such a place, it is estimated that many people who come to this place will be like him, constantly fleeing in embarrassment... He thought to himself, thinking that it is probably not a good thing to have more people in such a place, because the advantage of numbers cannot be used here at all. , but it will lead to more monsters chasing and killing...
There was a strange noise coming from the front. His footsteps paused for a moment, and then he ran in that direction - he could tell that it was a human voice.
Although this was not the first time he heard human voices since he was alone, at this moment, excitement still overflowed from his heart.
As if grasping for the last straw, he climbed over the roots again and rushed over.
***************
When Duan Qing saw the figure rushing over from the side, he was actually startled - there were soldiers chasing him. In a place like this, if something strange comes again...
However, his surprise was obviously not as big as Xue Ling Huan Bing's reaction.
"Broken Mountain?"
In the past two years, Wings of Freedom's strength has soared, gradually occupying the second position in the alliance guild's strength ranking, and naturally confronting the number one Jianghu. The two guilds have competed against each other in several games, so everyone is well aware of each other's strength.
Although Xue Ling Huan Bing has only started to come into contact with these in the past two years, and she has not dealt with Duan Shanyue personally, but as a new era elite with ability, faith, and motivation, of course she is also responsible for the investigation and understanding of these aspects. Did. The name of Broken Mountain has been around for a long time, and its reputation is resounding throughout the professional world. It is so famous that anyone can recognize it when walking on the street. So as soon as they met, Xue Ling Huan Bing blurted out.
Hearing his name being called out by the other team, Duan Shanyue smiled bitterly. Although he didn't want others to see his embarrassed appearance at this time, Duan Shanyue still bravely ran over. It wasn't until he got closer that he could clearly see the team that seemed to be composed of novices, as well as the two people in the team who were obviously not novices.
The man wearing a blue robe and holding a huge staff has a noble and calm temperament, and there is no ID. He should be a powerful NPC, and the other one...
"Who are you......"
"Run!"
There was no time to explain. Since they were all players, Duan Qing did not stop that person from joining together. Kristine glanced at the man who was already in ragged clothes, without saying a word, her eyes were already in the direction where he came from.
"Be careful, there is a group of orangutans behind you..." Duan Shanyue showed his benevolence and did not forget to remind everyone: "They have weapons!"
Have weapons?
Duan Qing and the others were only given two seconds to think. From behind the giant tree in front of them, an orangutan rushing to the front appeared, holding a rusty machete in its hand.
Although the blade looked a little dull, the edge still reflected a faint blue light, and it looked like it had been polished.
There was no time to speculate on how high the orangutan's IQ was. Duan Qing pulled Mengzhu, who was stunned, and continued running towards the other side.
Amidst the chaotic footsteps, the chaotic team ran forward again. In the shadow of the rapidly retreating trees, the bushes along the road were attacked by pond fish, and they kept falling on the route of everyone's escape. The rough voice that just joined over there asked with some hesitation: "Are you that girl from Wings of Freedom..." Duan Qing didn't even look back and roared again.
"We'll talk about any grievances later. There is a group behind us..."
Click!
A crisp sound suddenly echoed in the forest.
It was like a sound like glass falling to the ground, and Duan Qing looked back in shock. The sparse gaps in the rear area were suddenly filled with irregular ice crystals of different sizes.
Where they passed, it seemed like a hailstorm had fallen, and looking at this scene, it looked like it had already stopped - the spaces between the huge tree trunks were filled with ice-blue water condensed, just like a forest. It was like being buried between the ice and snow.
The world of ice and snow formed in an instant, temporarily separating the two worlds.
The sound of running footsteps slowly stopped. A Niu's mouth was wide open and he didn't say anything for a long time. The little girl muttered without knowing what she was talking about. Broken Mountain stopped near them on the other side and was too shocked to control himself: " sharp......"
Duan Qing, on the other hand, breathed for a while and asked the calm figure who put away the staff: "Just now... Huh... Why didn't you... just take action... ..”
Christine twisted her waist and walked forward step by step, not caring that the tight robe exposed her voluptuous curves to everyone: "If you do this, those monsters will be solved by themselves, and... ..."
The screams and roars of gorillas sounded, and the whistling sounds of knives and axes came from the other side of the ice wall. Duan Qing somewhat understood that they were fighting with those killer bees. As for who would win? Negative, it has nothing to do with myself anymore. At least at this moment, they should be able to take a break——
"…And, we should be almost there."
Um?
Chewing on the meaning of this sentence, Duan Qing, who had just wanted to sit down on the ground, involuntarily slowed down his movements and his face gradually became serious. The little girl ran over with Leng Tou Qing, and her voice couldn't help but become smaller: "Uncle, uncle, we are almost..." In front, the figure in the black cloak had already ran out. From here, there was something bigger there. A bright light source emits.
Duan Qing shook his head and sighed. Duan Shanyue on the other side also noticed the anomaly and slowly followed him. He could no longer hear what question the little girl asked, or he had already heard it and was answering: "So there is no need to conserve strength anymore, because we are about to arrive..."
It’s finally coming to an end…or maybe it’s far from over yet…
Duan Qing slowly got up and walked in that direction with the remaining two people. In front, a figure in blue robe was standing there, one hand stroking his forehead, and the other hand hanging down naturally. When Duan Qing came closer, he heard Christine's soft voice when she whispered:
"Yes...I can already see it..."
Later, Duan Qing also saw it.
The midday sun shines down from the sky, illuminating the front brightly. As he approached, the first thing that caught his eye was the endless tree trunks. However, not far away, the tree trunks had turned into branches, and then into the crown of the tree - the terrain in front of him was actually downwards. And it seems that the height difference is not small. Further away, the tree crowns were already under the feet of several people. The well-proportioned tree crowns were intertwined with each other, but they still continued to extend downward at a certain slope until far into the distance. Then at the end over there, a tall emerald tower stood, rising out of the vast green ocean.
That's not the color of the tower itself. Although it was far away, the tower was indeed huge, so Duan Qing could still distinguish some mottled gray and black colors from its surface - the color of the stone was probably its original color. As for those conspicuous large patches of green, It should be the vines and moss all over the tower.
Despite this, the appearance of this tower can still give people a visual impact, because its location seems to be in the center of the basin.
Duan Qing looked around and just saw from the height difference around it that this was indeed a basin. Their position was probably on the edge of the basin. Looking to the side, the slope composed of the crowns of giant trees stretched in an arc, then extended to the middle, and finally converged at the middle place - where the tower is. place. If you look more carefully, Duan Qing will find that the arc of the basin forms a circle, and it is a very regular circle.
Several unknown birds flew through the sky. Looking at the green tower in the center of the circle, Duan Qing had huge questions in his heart. This tower is okay, but the surrounding terrain does not look like it was formed naturally...
There was a rustling sound of stones falling under his feet. Duan Qing felt uneasy, so he took a step back and looked down. Only then did he realize that what was ahead of him was not a slope at all, but cliffs. The cliff looks very high, and I feel dizzy just looking at it.
Duan Qing took two steps back, then calmed down, opened the system menu, and found what he wanted in the map of the adventure notes.
It says there: Emerald Forest, outside the Emerald Tower.
He swallowed, organized his words, and then turned to Christine. Only then did he realize that the enchanting and mature woman was also looking at him with inexplicable eyes, as if she was waiting for him to ask questions.
"You...ah no, you..."
The sound of the whistling sword suddenly reached Duan Qing's ears.
Duan Qing looked in shock. On the edge of the cliff not far away, a figure in a black cloak held a sword in both hands and was confronting the man whose leather armor was in tatters.
Sensing Duan Qing's gaze, Xue Ling Huan Bing blurted out: "I didn't violate the agreement. He was the one who made the first move."
"Hey, you may not believe it, but I was the one who made the first move, but..."
"An indifferent tone cannot hide your anxiety, little iceman." The man with the broken mountain ID above his head said leisurely. He crossed his arms across his chest. Although his leather armor was scarred, he still looked confident: "I recognize you, the rising star in the Wings of Freedom team. You seemed to be very active some time ago, but you have disappeared recently. I thought I went somewhere..."
He put his hands to both sides: "Thank you to Wings of Freedom for the hospitality before, this kindness..."
Xue Ling Huan Bing gritted her teeth and was about to speak when Duan Shanyue exerted her strength under her feet and another charge came.
"You always have to pay back!"
Raising his hand and slashing down, although his momentum was very strong, it seemed that the momentum was not enough in the face of the mountain-like impact. In the afterimage of the forward charge, there was a point of white protruding from the stream of light, which was Broken Shanyue's fist.
There was a bang, and Xue Ling Huan Bing's sword was hit head-on by the punch. The fist obviously had a weapon like a glove, so he dared to confront the long sword head-on. The force of the repulsion sent the black cloak flying, and her own body flew up at the same time.
There was a blue flash of light flickering on the armor hidden under the black cloak. The air was churning, and Broken Mountain was blown up by the sword. He took a few steps back and sat down on the ground. While he admired the little girl's courage in his heart, he was also secretly surprised by the opponent's strength attribute. However, the woman who fell into the bush knew that it was just the suit attributes on her body that suddenly came into play.
But at this level, I should be more than enough to handle it——
The sound of breaking wind came from behind.
"A little doll from Novice Village..."
Duan Shanyue suddenly turned around, lowered his waist, stepped forward, and punched out: "You still want to help me come in?"
The expected sword did not hit his fist. The sword that came close to his face suddenly retreated, then drew a strange arc in front of his eyes and disappeared from the corner of his eye.
His pupils shrank, but he did not turn his head. Relying on his own instinct, he turned his left fist and struck to the right.
Bang!
There was another muffled sound, and a figure flew out and landed on the fallen leaves on the ground, raising a burst of dust at the same time. Amid the coughing, Duan Qing's voice rang out among the fallen leaves: "Ahem...it's really hard to concentrate in such a hurry..."
In other words, I have regressed a lot in recent years... Duan Qing thought silently.
The move just now seemed a bit dangerous, but Duan Shanyue's body was still as stable as Mount Tai, but his heart was far from as stable as his appearance.
He stood there, looking in that direction, and after a long time he hesitated to say a word.
"…waltz?"
After dusting off the dust and dead leaves on his body, Duan Qing slowly stood up.
"It's passed down from our ancestors, are you afraid?"
