The earth walls that were raised then spread out in the jungle at the edge of the roots of this ancient giant tree. With shouts and cries of pain, they fell under the twilight light, and were inexplicably opened up by the ambush.
Then two figures, one high and one low, flew out of the gap. The green light formed by the explosion and envelopment of the swaying fireball accelerated to the point of blurring in an instant: "Then let's go first!"
"Who the fuck is taking advantage of others? Stop right there! Brothers, kill him!"
"Big, big brother, the idea is about to escape! We'd better catch up quickly - ah ah ah ah!"
"This is... an electrical magic trap? How could there be a magic trap in a place like this? When did he set it up?"
"Although it's a little difficult for one person to deal with a group of you ambushes at the same time, at least escaping and escaping is not a problem."
Duan Qing, who kept casting spells with both hands and kept covering himself with wind acceleration magic, took Fula's figure and galloped at high speed through the passing woods and bushes: "But since there is someone to help, we are also happy.
See how it works."
"Have you already expected that someone would attack us?" There was a hint of realization in Fula's calm and indifferent gaze as she was taken flying in the air: "Everything that happened in the big tree before was deliberately arranged by you.
A scene? Are those adventurers your friends?"
"How is that possible? I don't know any iron jade or black chicken." Continuously observing the movement behind him, Duan Qing frowned in the direction where the sound of pursuit and plundering was still faintly heard: "Acting on the spot.
, just deceived a few more people. Since they can discover our existence from it, it proves that this place is indeed full of their spies. In my opinion-"
"It must be that the magic devices built next to the furnace in the Magic Empire are haunted."
In the background of the tree branches creaking in the wind, several sparkling purple runes suddenly appeared on the fingertips of the gray-robed magician, and then thin silk threads appeared on the three or two trees he and Furla had just passed.
The trunks of the towering trees quickly formed, and the spider webs weaved in one moment were smashed into a tumbling purple mess in the next moment - amidst the sound of wind that broke through the sky, the other two shadows that caught up followed.
They were also entangled under Duan Qing's quickly woven "spider web" spell. The third masked player's footsteps that just wanted to fly over his companion were blocked by a double-edged cross slash behind them, and they were splashed with fire.
Blood hit the thick tree trunk next to him: "——Ahem! It's you again! You're finished!"
"The Magic Empire will not let you go!"
The hoarse warning had a hint of frustration, but Duan Qing, who had jumped away, could no longer hear it. He could only feel that the faint aura that finally helped him again was still lingering in the surrounding space behind him.
After a period of time, it was as if the escort mission had ended, and he finally pulled away and started to move away from this fast track: "——Wait a minute."
Duan Qing hurriedly called out to the departing figure. Duan Qing, who stopped flying, shouted in the direction of the other person: "Why do you want to help us?"
"..."
Faintly appeared in the distance shrouded in twilight. The silent black figure just stood quietly on the high branches of the tree trunk with two swords on his back. The two swords appearing behind him also seemed to be carrying a sword at this time.
A sign with the meaning of "forbidden" blocked Duan Qing's steps to recover: "I remember that you were the person in the ancient tree cave just now. It seemed that you were called An Zhen Shansheng, right?
"
"..."
"We are strangers. It was probably the first time we met under the furnace just now."
Still not getting a response from the other party, Duan Qing had no choice but to continue shouting to the other party from a distance: "He is such a stranger but he is willing to help with his life. He must be a chivalrous person that other adventurers often mention, right?"
"...I am far from the word 'chivalrous'."
Finally responding to Duan Qing's words, the voice of the black shadow on the tree trunk was extremely low: "It's just that the people who want to deal with you happen to be my enemies, so I will rescue you. Other than that, I have no other intention."
.”
"I think there is a lot of fate between us."
Not being turned away by the coldness shown by the other party, Duan Qing's voice once again brought a gentle smile: "As a traveling businessman who has experienced the wilderness for a long time, my intuition is still very sharp.
Since the Jungle Goddess invites you and me to meet again, why don’t you come down and have a chat with us and have a few drinks together?”
"No need." As if he was surprised that Duan Qing could say such a thing, the black shadow on the tree branch half turned and glanced down: "We may not see each other again in the future, and it will be in vain to say more words."
"That's not necessarily true."
Interrupting the other party's words with a high and confident voice, Duan Qing's voice also had a bit of a strange feeling: "Although the time is short, I can still see your skills. After walking around the world for so long
With years of experience, you are definitely not a fish in the pond, and you will definitely stand out among adventurers one day."
"I have traveled a lot during this period. I learned from many adventurers that they are building a huge stage now." Duan Qing unconsciously opened his arms when he said this.
: "I wonder if you are interested in going to that place to compete and show your worth?"
"——Hmph." Breaking away from the strange and strange sight, the man named An Zhen Shansheng couldn't help but snorted: "No need."
"Don't be too hasty to refuse. I am also entrusted by others."
Raising his voice in the direction of the opponent's leaving figure, Duan Qing once again raised his voice a bit higher: "The opponent is a poor team called the Fool's Adventure Group. The story the leader told me is very exciting.
, out of benevolence and contentment, I personally am very willing to help her."
"If you are interested, you might as well help her make up for her regrets? It can also be regarded as fulfilling her unfinished dream - ah, she left."
Unable to detect the other person's aura at all, Duan Qing retracted his outstretched hand. The voice from Fula also sounded after the commotion of him grabbing the back of his head, reminding the other person with a helpless and funny feeling: "Don't
No trouble, unless you want to call those insects...human pursuers over again."
"It's a good time to call me here. I haven't had enough fun just now." He waved his fist in a semi-pityful manner, and then Duan Qing patted his forehead as if he had just reacted: "Forget it, let's find it first.
Hide somewhere, putting your safety and rest first."
"Sorry, this is what I was supposed to do." Fulla closed her eyes and listened to the rustling of leaves and the chirping of insects, then lowered her head: "But I can promise that I won't waste too much time.
Lots of time.”
"Don't worry, now that there are signs of big fish being caught, there are more things we can do." As he started to walk deeper into the woods, Duan Qing, who passed by Fula, looked towards him with a mysterious look on his face.
She waved her hand and said, "I believe that soon, the news of our coming here will spread quietly."
"With a little effort, the fate of this area may undergo some subtle changes."
***************************************
"New news just came back - that man and his NPC companions appeared in Tinsi Forest."
"In the previous report, didn't they disappear in the direction of Falling Star Mountain? How did they - well, a few hours ago, did something strange happen on the top of Falling Star Mountain?"
"I don't know what they did in that place. Maybe they really found a way to use the earth's veins to move. After all, the sacred mountain is now in their hands. It's only a matter of time before they discover these secrets..."
"I don't think so. After all, the dragon next to him is better at space teleportation spells. There is no need to sacrifice one thing for the other - stop doing nothing! Take action as soon as possible! If we can't catch him again on our territory! You incompetents
Just go feed the dogs in the abyss!"
As expected from Duan Qing's words, the beings lurking in the darkness soon made new moves. The darkness spread throughout the jungle also carried the howls of various sub-dragon species and the sounds of biting and tearing.
Constantly undulating and surging in every crevice of the ancient trees. They stopped what they were doing, and the players who had originally gathered in these corners and sat around the campfire began to notice this dissatisfaction.
There was an ordinary atmosphere, but even though they had never seen such a phenomenon, they quickly discovered the clues in this undercurrent that alarmed countless wild dragons: "There is someone!"
"With so many people...are the large guilds planning some action? Which guild and club will take action at this time?"
"Impossible, all the professional players are preparing for the competition now, how can they still have time to come to such a remote place - wait, there seems to be one."
"Hey! Stop! Those in front, are you from Wings of Freedom?"
Without answering the questions that a few of the idle players shouted out temporarily, the countless dark waves undulating in the jungle just kept surging forward on their own, and some of them were just casually attacked by the black shadows attacked by the bad guys.
After resisting for a few times, he dispersed in other directions at an even faster speed and disappeared. Realizing that the other party was conducting a carpet-like search of the entire jungle, the passers-by and players who were not targeted then also turned their curiosity towards
In other directions, some people with sharp eyes and quick hands even posted what they saw and heard on the outside world's Internet, sparking small and medium-sized sparks in forums where the two league events were becoming more and more popular.
However, as the initiators of these "sparks", Duan Qing and others, the situation of these two people at this time is actually much easier than expected.
"...I didn't expect there was such a solution."
Sitting quietly in the canopy of one of the ancient trees near the edge of the jungle, Fulla, with her eyes slightly closed, let out a low sigh to the crowd who passed by their feet several times: "Or - you adventurers
Their strategies always amaze me."
"This is called wilderness survival experience. This is how we usually deal with it when we spend the night in a dangerous jungle where all kinds of wild beasts are infested." Still watching the movements around him with vigilance, Duan Qing still had a relaxed and proud expression on his face:
"Of course, human intelligence is generally much higher than that of beasts, not to mention that there are various auxiliary methods such as physics and magic... But please believe me! When playing hide and seek, the capturing party will never
look up!"
"The Lord of Violet's magical attainments have indeed reached the pinnacle of mankind. No one can break through the protection of this layer of hidden magic." He glanced at the silent lavender magic film surrounding not far away, and saw that there was no
Fula, who understood Duan Qing's joke, closed her eyes safely: "But considering the other party's reaction speed this time, the eyeliner they arranged here may exceed your imagination."
"Isn't that just right? The more people who come to arrest us, the better." Duan Qing also lowered his voice to the extreme, and pointed around the canopy where they were as expected: "It seems that such a large investment does
It’s very impressive, but it’s meaningless as long as we can’t be caught, let alone——”
"With so many people searching together, it's impossible not to alert any dangerous creatures."
A huge dragon roar then appeared on the far side of the jungle, accompanied by the sight of a huge flying dragon that had been hidden somewhere before, sweeping through the sea of trees with flames spewing out, illuminating a moment.
The tongues of fire then emblazoned a series of screams under the distant black night starry sky, and the giant shadow of the outstretched wings, together with the startling movements of countless leaves and birds, covered the far end of the jungle: "...Look
Well, there are countless high-level sub-dragon species here, so it’s impossible not to suffer some losses.”
"But in this way, our method of using altitude will also appear unsafe." Fulla closed her eyes quietly: "If they never find us, and then deliberately induce more flying creatures to wreak havoc in the jungle
if--"
"This is indeed a problem. After all, there are many nocturnal creatures and demonized monsters that may move in the trees." Duan Qing squatted on the branch of the tree again and looked down. He replied in a low voice: "But it's all over.
After successfully hiding for so long, it’s probably too late to think of using this trick now.”
The slanting morning light fell on the sea of trees on the top of the mountain as Duan Qing's words fell, instantly illuminating the front where the gray-robed magician was looking down, the vast basin located at the northern end of the mountains and ancient jungle.
Then, under the reflection of the morning light, it gradually became clear in the cold morning wind: "Here is -"
"The Anderson State, also a patchwork of ancient lands."
Duan Qing tried hard to distinguish a few familiar locations in his memory from the displayed pictures, and answered the other party's question in a low voice: "I don't know how Uncle Lu is doing now."
"That's the territory that the magic empire you mentioned now occupies, right?" Still maintaining a sitting posture, Fulla asked calmly: "How dare you really borrow the name of that ancient country thousands of years ago... We
Are you going here next?”
"That's right."
Duan Qing replied thoughtfully: "Although I'm just passing by, but -"
"If we could leave a spatial anchor here, everything would be perfect."
