"I see."
The sound of the wind on the grassland seemed to become quieter with the deepening of the night, and the short and momentary joy gradually disappeared from the senses of countless players as time went by. The figure belonging to one of the players was at this moment He also followed his own memory and found a quiet and small tent among them. He used a long narrative voice to face the dragon woman sitting in it with her eyes closed: "It seems that... I During my absence, you have written many great adventure stories."
"It's not great at all, it even feels a little chaotic."
In the dim tent, only the native rock used for resting under the woman was still emitting a bright light. At the same time, Duan Qing, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground facing Fula, became much smaller. : "The energy that was released - judging from the scenes I later heard described by those in the clan, the magnitude of this energy is probably not easily imaginable."
"That is indeed not an energy that ordinary humans can bear. Even I, who was recovering from invisibility, was shocked." Keeping her eyes closed, the voice belonging to Fula also sounded in Duan Qing's ears again: "Thankfully you woke me up in this way. Otherwise, given the time it would take for the Dragon Clan to recuperate, the next time I wake up it might already be hundreds of years later."
"That's really not a good result." He shook his head with a wry smile, and Duan Qing's eyes became worried again: "But doesn't this mean that your physical condition has not fully recovered? Are you really Are you okay?"
"In the face of more mysteries about this continent, this question is nothing."
Two points of divine light lit up and went out in the dim tent. The terrifying power surrounding Fula, who opened her eyes, also gradually fell as her will was dormant: "And if it can be generated with the energy in the earth's veins, By contacting me, my injury may be able to recover faster.”
"Even if it's the curse of Broken Dragon?" His eyes also lit up for a moment, and then Duan Qing shook his head and sighed: "No, forget it, this power is too dangerous, and that underground-"
"I know, but I don't think those things like the 'virus' you described can have an impact on a being like me." He raised his hand to stop what Duan Qing wanted to say next, and the voice belonging to Fulla also sounded again. Between the tents: "As long as I create a barrier to isolate the space, I can keep these too weak life forms out."
"But it is possible to take him out of that place." Duan Qing replied with a serious face: "We ran out here deliberately, and at the same time we kept silent about the situation down there and blocked the news, just to bury all the relevant intelligence. Go deep underground to prevent those beings that should not appear from infecting the entire world."
"--All right."
Putting her hands on her knees, with her blond hair flowing like a waterfall, Furah's face finally changed a little: "I really don't have the confidence that nothing unexpected will happen. I will not be as weak as you described in your mouth." Living things are brought to the surface, but—"
"I have to remind you that this kind of undead-like existence has been rampant on the mainland a long time ago." The dragon woman looked at Duan Qing's face with indifferent eyes: "If your claim is true, Then this secular world has already turned into a world of the undead."
"I understand, including the fact that the black surface of those skeletons will melt when exposed to life energy, I also need to reconsider." He spread his hands with a wry smile, and Duan Qing's voice also rose along with his movements. He stood up in the dim space and said: "Unfortunately, it would be great if there were really specimens that could be used for research. Since these black creatures have existed for thousands of years, their existing forms and states may have undergone unexpected changes... …”
"Leave this matter to me, I will pay attention to the relevant situation." Like a god who is listening to the wishes of his followers, Fulla nodded and her slender eyebrows turned into human beings. Relieved a bit: "And now I have every reason to suspect——"
"After that huge energy storm, how many 'things' can survive at the source of that leyline."
Silence gathered around the tent as Fulla's words appeared, as if it was about to merge with the silence of the surrounding grasslands. At this time, only the sound of the wind was lingering, and two figures sat opposite each other. Then they also rose and fell slightly in their quiet breathing, and the tacit understanding was finally broken by Fulla's voice rising again: "Are you sure that the energy was collected and sent away?"
"Although the artificial traces come from thousands of years ago, they still work extremely well." Duan Qing, who nodded his head and seemed to understand what the other party meant, replied in a low voice: "We even met the 'messenger' from the opposite side. They should also be sent here to ensure the safety there."
"The result was also dealt with by you?" Fulla continued to ask in a calm voice: "Has the news spread?"
"Well, it should have spread." Not knowing how to explain the identity of the player on the other side, Duan Qing could only scratch his head vaguely: "Since they teleported directly to the depths of the ruins, they must There is some transmission method that we don’t know about, and the news of being invaded and attacked has already been spread out by this time..."
"It doesn't matter, we have been confronting them for a long time anyway." She put away her calm gaze and shook her head in a low voice: "I'm just worried that they will follow this trail to find this place. I can't guarantee that they can. One person can withstand all attacks.”
"Don't worry, the human fighting ability in these tribes is still good." Pointing to the outside of the tent, Duan Qing replied confidently: "And coupled with the previous wind relics, the abnormality of this earth vein energy may have been there for a long time. It has spread thousands of miles away."
"The damage to the earth's veins cannot be repaired in a short time, and their losses are immeasurable." Fulla's eyes closed again as she sighed: "But in comparison, I am right The uses for this energy are a little more curious.”
"Including the Free Continent, these people have been collecting huge amounts of earth energy - they must be pursuing something unimaginable."
As if she was adjusting her breathing, the dragon woman fell into a quiet state again, and Duan Qing, who was watching all this, also stood up, seeming to have understood the other party's intention not to continue talking: "We plan to continue to maintain the status quo and take people out of this place as soon as possible, which can be regarded as a way of emergency evacuation."
"There seems to be some entanglement between you and another group of humans." The voice from Fula also sounded behind Duan Qing who was about to turn around and leave: "Won't there be any unexpected trouble?"
"It doesn't matter, this is also within our consideration."
Duan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, raised the door curtain and replied in a low voice without looking back: "I came here specifically to remind you, in case you run around again and we are separated again, Some things are difficult to handle.”
"Especially the situation of the underground ruins - I hope that my words of telling you all the truth can stop your curiosity to find out more."
He turned sideways and showed a helpless smile, and the figure walking out of the tent gradually disappeared into the night outside.
************************************
"Come on, come on, who else wants to compete with me?"
The next morning, which seemed almost unchanged, as the sun rose again, it descended near the banks of the Varro River. The flying grassland wind kept moving toward this settlement with countless scattered blades of grass. The surroundings slowly spread out, and the lively scene gradually spread out around the camp with the movements of countless people who seemed to have remained unchanged. Still provoking everyone around him with his lively and energetic image, the player named Asahi Dongsheng was also jumping around with his sharp long knife beside the tribe soldiers who were about to set off. It's just that this guy who has already made a big splash in the name of hunting, today's goal has been transferred to other places: "Is there no one scheduled for today's competition? You cowards and cowards! Yesterday I kept shouting my dissatisfaction, but then a big dream passed and my courage disappeared along with the courageous wine?"
"That one over there... uh, what's your name?" Walking carelessly in front of the teams that were neatly lined up to set off, Chao Ri Dongsheng turned his spearhead and landed on one of the team leaders. On the body: "You are the Wabasi from the Wab tribe, right? I remember the one who stopped in front of us when we first met."
"Get out of the way, we have to complete today's patrol and search mission." The Wabu warrior who was blocked in front of Asahi Dongsheng did not make any movement, only the eyes that squinted at the one-armed player showed some indifference and contempt. : "We don't have time to play with you here."
"Ha, I originally thought you were a good guy, but I didn't expect you were also a weakling." The words of contempt belonging to Asahi Dongsheng quickly rang in everyone's ears: "Don't dare to compare with me. Compared with me, what’s the point of using these inexplicable reasons as a shield?”
"When I come back, you'd better wash your neck and wait." The player's unique provocative gesture was too much for the Wabu tribe member to bear. The man named Wabas turned around and stared at the opponent fiercely: "No matter what Whether it’s hunting or something else, whatever you choose, let you see what a true prairie warrior is!”
"Okay, this one looks like he's been tricked too." Standing with his arms folded, watching Chao Ri Dongsheng jumping up and down with Wabasi's beard and glare, Gedman, who was carrying a large shield, had a funny look on his face. He turned around and said, "We don't need to worry about it here. We just let him freely express himself."
"You guys discussed it for a long time and finally came up with this set of underworld tactics?" Xue Ling Huan Bing, who stood next to him at some point with his white hair blowing in the wind, sighed and curled his lips: " Why don’t you go up and act with him?”
"I'm not good at doing what he likes." He had already started to turn around and walk towards the crowd in the settlement camp, and the voice belonging to Gedman gradually faded away in Xueling Huanbing's ears: "And Since some people have taken this path, naturally someone needs to take another path.”
"I have to go find Surtu, and he still has to make the decision on these issues." The big black shield gradually disappeared among the crowd, and together with the wind and the falling sunlight, it moved towards the unreachable sight. He walked over and said, "I don't know where this guy is hiding to take charge of the overall situation. We guys who are nominally employed are still waiting for him to decide everything."
The faint sea breeze came from the distance along with the sound of the nearby river. The gurgling water also made the morning of this day more refreshing. The peaceful beginning of the day seemed to turn away with the snow spirit and phantom ice. The movement slowly extended towards the other side of the camp. Countless people who were also hanging around this temporary camp began to move around as the day began. People who were either going out or busy were also crowded around the camp, but perhaps they had heard some news. , the busy figures of these tribe members became a bit unnatural in the sight of Snow Spirit Huan Bing gradually passing by: "Warriors, cobblers, herdsmen, blacksmiths... Phew, if you don't consider what is happening around you, As for those weird things, this place is almost the same as an ordinary peaceful village."
"Yes." Unlike these people who were running back and forth with various purposes, Duan Qing was squatting quietly among the grass on the edge of the settlement at this time: "In the final analysis, the migration of the Sioux people is just a large-scale move. "
"What are you doing?" After finally completing the search task, Xue Ling Huan Bing walked forward and held her waist and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to find bugs from the grass?"
"There are no bugs in this kind of grass. It has been swept away by the strong wind a long time ago." Duan Qing slapped his hands, still not standing up from staring at the ground: "I am looking for the aftermath of the earth veins. Fluctuations in field energy will definitely leave traces nearby."
"Everyone is doing his job."
Brushing the hair on his temples, Xue Ling Huan Bing asked with a half-smile, "Is this also what we divided last night?"
"That's right. Anyway, there is nothing else that a being like me can do." Standing up slowly, Duan Qing replied in a meaningless voice: "If there is any material, I hope to add some more. Alchemy reserves are here."
"Then...did you find anything?"
“The fallout here is less obvious.”
The white figures gradually gathered together. Duan Qing, who sighed and answered, couldn't help but look up at the front of the grassland: "If there is a chance to go back again -"
"I might be able to find some residual information."
