"I didn't expect that I would experience a 'transmission error' one day."
After struggling to climb out along the edge of the hemispherical pit, Duan Qing looked back at his feet with lingering fear: "Although I have used space teleportation spells many times before, it seems that I have never encountered this before. The phenomenon of half-body being buried in the ground—it’s a huge blessing that it’s not embedded in a stone.”
"Really? I've encountered it many times." Sitting on the ground beside Duan Qing with her eyes closed, Fula's voice showed disdain for a moment: "This is also one of the reasons why space spells are extremely dangerous. , If you accidentally enter the entity, that’s it. With the dragon’s high-strength body, you can still deal with it, but if you accidentally teleport to an unknown field, or even the void world..."
"So the energy reversal just now is something more dangerous? Is it that you would rather risk using long-distance space teleportation than wait for one more second?" Duan Qing continued to check his situation: "The next time you use the backup plan, , can you inform me in advance?”
"I warned you." Opening her eyes expressionlessly, Fulla looked quietly in front of the area where she was: "What I use is not long-distance fixed-point teleportation. That requires preparation. It took too long.”
"I just urgently activated the magic of chaotic space teleportation, and then let the leyline throw us somewhere on the mainland."
As she said these words, she looked up to the top of the dome along with Duan Qing. The latter felt a slight headache when he heard the sounds of the green jungle and the faint howls of beasts that kept coming to his ears. He took out his adventurer's manual: "Okay, let's confirm our location first... uh."
"Your adventurer's manual is so useful." Knowing that the other party already knew the answer, Fulla slapped her legs and stood up slowly: "Where is this place?"
"Huting Forest."
After letting out a long breath, Duan Qing then retracted his sighing gaze from the manual: "Although there is no record in my current adventurer's manual, the moment I saw this name appearing, I still thought about it. Something happened."
"According to my memory, this is a peculiar place located on the highest peak of the Huyan Mountains."
Stepping on the mottled sunlight, Duan Qing looked through the scene that vaguely appeared between the gaps in front of him. Huge trees and interconnected and clustered vast forests also appeared in the depths of the picture he was looking at. There were also scenes in the middle. Mixed with large areas of rough branches whose height and width cannot be estimated by the gray-robed magician: "Although it is in the style of a wild primitive forest, the degree of wildness seems to be as exaggerated as ever - if I remember correctly , there is a giant ancient tree in the center of this forest that is much taller than the mage tower, serving as the core of this jungle."
"That's where the furnace is - you mentioned it before when you passed by the edge of the Star Wind Plains. There is also a furnace here." Walking closer to Duan Qing, Fula replied in a low voice with an indifferent expression: "Since it is connected With the existence of earth veins, it makes sense why we were thrown here."
"I don't know what the top of Falling Star Mountain has become now, cough cough." After clearing his throat, Duan Qing also pulled his slightly dazed attention back from the front: "In short, it is not safe here. The natural conditions in this place are extremely dangerous, and it is now included in the territory of the Magic Empire - can you still move?"
"There is no problem with the movement, but the magic power consumption is huge." Fulla answered in a calm and brief voice: "The magic power here is quite sufficient, but it takes time to recover."
"...Forget it, the plan can be put on hold for now."
Duan Qing, who seemed to detect a hint of aggression from the other party's calm expression, turned and walked deep into the jungle after being silent for a moment: "I have been asking you to accompany me to arrange the runes and spatial anchor points. It’s too heavy a burden to ask you to take on the work of traveling and escorting.”
"As long as it can satisfy my curiosity, this little burden is nothing." Already fully familiar with the adventurers' communication methods, Fulla shook her head and replied skillfully: "But if possible, there is nothing more important about you and Violet. I still hope to know what I want to do.”
"Isn't this going to be completed soon - ahem, if everything goes well." Duan Qing patted his chest as if he was sure, and then coughed and lowered his head: "That's fine. , let’s get out of this primitive jungle first. Considering the current situation, I think it’s safer to go north... What’s wrong?”
"Since there is a furnace here, why don't you decorate it here more?" Facing Duan Qing's stagnant and confused look, Fula turned her eyes to another direction in the jungle: "The one connected to the earth's veins The furnace must be hiding some secrets, aren’t you interested?”
"Because that place has some bad memories for me."
Pouting his lips, the gray-robed magician stopped his progress and his wandering eyes: "And since we excavated this place earlier, it has become a holy place for adventurers. If there are still some... If you follow the magic empire's spy, you will probably run into a lot of trouble in the end... That's all."
"What do you mean by that sentence?" Duan Qing kept looking back and forth between the depths of the jungle ahead and the shadow of the huge ancient tree trunk that loomed in the distance. Duan Qing touched his nose and sighed helplessly: "Come on. They’re all here.”
"This is the style of an adventurer." A smile curled up inexplicably at the corner of her mouth, and Fula turned around and followed Duan Qing's footsteps: "Lead the way, don't you know the location of the furnace?"
"Do you remember the approximate location... By the way, aren't you a dragon?" Duan Qing simply chopped the tall bushes in front of him and asked in a puzzled voice: "A dragon who likes to travel and explore has never been here before. The top of the Pianhuyan Mountains?"
"Because I don't like flying."
The sound of the wind gradually became quiet as Fulla answered. Only the tall branches and wide leaves above kept changing the light falling down. Fulla, who was bathed in these lights, then also changed her tense face. She relaxed, and even her breathing seemed to become lighter with the smile she showed: "Since we choose to explore the secrets of this world, it is naturally better to use the most direct method of 'measurement'. Although flying is It’s part of the Dragon Clan’s specialties, but my people, who think highly of themselves, miss too many things on a daily basis.”
"I can't tell, you are still a commoner." Duan Qing looked back at the other party with a blank expression: "It is indeed rare to see the dragon clan on this continent, and there are also very few records related to the dragon clan. You can take the initiative to walk in the world and help us so much, which is an unusual performance in itself."
"Of course I won't be stingy about flying, but I will only use it where it should be used." Feeling the feeling brought to her by this primitive nature, Fulla reached out and brushed her long golden hair: "In During my childhood in the Dragon Clan, I not only needed to grow and learn, but I also wasted a lot of time trying to convince the elders in the clan to agree to my traveling around the world, not to mention the distance between the Huyan Mountain Range and the edge of the east coast where it is located. The habitat of our dragon clan is relatively far away, so it has never been included in my exploration range."
"I originally thought that two hundred years old would be enough for you to travel across the continent. It seems that everyone's situation and problems are not simple." Duan Qing sighed, and then he also pricked up his ears: "But I'm curious about something you mentioned: Where is your habitat hidden?"
Without answering Duan Qing's words, Fula, who gradually became serious, just looked ahead quietly. Duan Qing, who originally thought that the other party was angry, also noticed the abnormality and turned towards the shadowy trees between the huge tree trunks that had brushed away the bushes and branches. He looked through the gap and said, "...there is someone."
"It seems that they are still adventurers, and they are also in groups - is this a team of adventurers?"
"Or a hunting team? Look at what they are carrying behind them, it looks like they are the carcasses of huge beasts."
"I smell blood, and a hint of something revoltingly familiar... I get it."
Her motionless golden eyebrows gradually knitted together. Fulla looked at the group of players dragging through the jungle in front of her and said in a low voice. Her sharp teeth and sharp claws also shone in the middle of the group of players. The palpitating brilliance, the rough thick skin full of blood, and the sword marks engraved on it reflect the fierce battle that broke out on these terrifying beasts: "I see, I also remembered it."
"Many of the monsters here are dragons and sub-dragons." Touching his nose, Duan Qing carefully glanced in the direction of Fula: "I don't know the origin of this primitive jungle, nor do I know the origin of this primitive jungle. I don’t know where these sub-dragon species appeared from, but I remember that there is indeed a dragon tomb behind this mountain range, and there are many dragon bones in it——"
"Are you afraid? Are you afraid that I will be angry?" She seemed a little amused by Duan Qing's hesitating at this time. Fula, who interrupted Duan Qing's words, involuntarily raised the corner of her mouth: "Don't worry, the orthodox Dragon Clan has always been Looking down on these ignorant beasts, the elders and people in the clan want to burn all these bastards who have stained the blood of the dragon clan to ashes."
"Then I'll take it seriously." He lowered his body with a dry smile. Duan Qing, who couldn't figure out the other party's attitude, could only lower his voice and continued: "Flying dragon, earth dragon, beast dragon, tooth dragon...there are... There are many kinds of dragons. Although the subtle distinctions are very complicated and difficult to identify, we adventurers are more accustomed to referring to them collectively as——"
"Dinosaur."
Watching the group of players who had not noticed their side gradually leaving their field of vision, the two finally emerged from the hidden bushes. Duan Qing, who said this word, then looked into the distance and met Occasionally. The huge howling sound coming from the depths of the jungle and the frightened birds came together: "I hope we won't provoke these creatures. Although we are not unable to defeat them, they will definitely cause a big noise."
"...Where is your concealment magic?"
"I can use the refraction barrier to hide our figures. It is similar to the use of invisibility potions, but this method can only block the light, but not the smell of our bodies... By the way, we can go away from those adventurers just now The path traveled.”
"Having been occupied by them for so long, the 'Hunter's' path must have been classified as an inaccessible area by those dinosaurs."
Trying to guess such a pattern, the gray-robed magician slowly followed the direction in which the group of players left just now. The broken branches, shrubs and heavy footprints also clearly showed the direction of their movement. , the surroundings seemed much quieter: "...Very good, it seems to be safe indeed."
"Where does this direction lead?"
"It should be the oldest and tallest tree."
Following Duan Qing, who was also alert to the surroundings, Fula's eyes stayed for a moment right in front of where they were moving. As the distance between the two approached, a huge shadow gradually fell over their position: "That's where the furnace is - I think it's at the top of the tree trunk."
"Great, let's head in that direction."
"Hey, that's where the largest number of adventurers gather now."
"Why, after it has come to this point, are you still afraid of dealing with those adventurers in this capacity?"
"I...well, I hope there will be a suitable place for you to rest by then."
Duan Qing curled his lips helplessly and buried his head in the rush: "Then let's rehearse in advance. The reason and identity should be the 'traveling businessman' we agreed on before. As for the purpose..."
Bang.
A soft vibration appeared diagonally in front of the two people, suddenly pressing back the low-pitched discussion they were still having. Duan Qing, who was holding Fula, also hurriedly stopped and hid with the fastest pace. Behind a huge tree. He climbed up from the place where the muffled sound was. A player who appeared there patted his dirty body and stood up. He glanced at the place where Duan Qing and Duan Qing were hiding, intentionally or unintentionally, and then said as if nothing had happened. Carrying a backpack, he gradually left towards the central area of the ancient forest: "... He seems to have discovered us?"
"Get rid of him?"
"What's the point of the adventurers taking care of it - ahem, what I mean is, don't always think about killing people. Maybe the other party is just an ordinary passerby who accidentally ran into us."
"Look at his outfit and backpack."
Pointing to the scene of the figure gradually disappearing into the woods, Duan Qing guessed with good intentions: "You can't be alone in such a high-level... er, dangerous jungle. You can't just rely on luck."
"That guy must be a powerful scavenger."
