"I am Freya, Freya Ocellus." The woman in red robe said calmly, and then nothing more continued.
The battle finally ended with the black figure's defeat, because Christine finally took action.
When the sky full of ice crystals suddenly appeared in the sky above the battle, surrounding the black shadow, the opponent had already realized that something was wrong. During the previous battle, he might not have noticed a few people watching the battle here, but for some unknown reason
With this consideration, he still chose to continue fighting. Christine here also stood aside and did not take any action, so the gorgeous battle continued for such a long period of time.
It wasn't until the woman in blue robe took two steps forward, holding the staff and waving her hand, that the other party understood what she meant: she would no longer stand idly by and this battle was about to end.
The purple-black light suddenly expanded, and then exploded in the direction of the Emerald Tower, creating a gap in the sky surrounded by ice crystals. The exploded ice crystals reflected the sunlight into colorful lights, and a black shadow galloped on the tree crown, and several
It ran a long distance between jumps, and finally disappeared into a sea of green leaves.
Under the sunshine of the afternoon, the broken and flying ice crystals still shined with dazzling brilliance. The red figure slowly floated here amid this natural beauty, magnificent and intoxicating. It was so close,
Duan Qing and the others were able to clearly see the gorgeous red robe on that person. The complex patterns composed of gold threads were also all over the robe, and some of them were still filled with gold that the surging magic power had not dissipated.
With a little steam, the woman in red robe slowly landed in front of everyone, like a fire phoenix descending into the mortal world. After she and Christine nodded to each other, they announced their names to everyone.
Beneath the short, indifferent, fiery red shorts, there is a face full of youthfulness and beauty, but expressionless. Her skin is white to yellow, full of healthy vitality, and her slender neck seems to be hung with a string of rubies.
The chain and the large robe could not hide the proud figure of the red woman. The breasts on her chest were so protruding that it was jaw-dropping. At this time, they were also rising and falling with the fierce breathing of the war master. Her staff was at this time
It was carried behind her, so she couldn't see it completely, but it could be vaguely seen that the staff was like a dry branch, with red stones inlaid on the twisted branches, exuding a warm light.
The woman in red robe didn't say anything else after saying that, she just looked at the others indifferently, without any fluctuation in her eyes. Although her appearance was very eye-catching, the powerful strength she had shown before also made a few people confused.
The player didn't dare to make any overstepping actions, or even pay too much attention to her.
"Don't be so rude, my sister." In the awkward atmosphere, only Christine did not change at all. She still turned around calmly and said: "You should already know the situation of these people. Oh, that person
..." She pointed to Broken Mountain: "I just met him today, so I don't know him very well yet, but he should be..."
She put a finger to her lips, with light flowing in her eyes: "...a person with a bad temper, you had some...misunderstandings with other people just now, are you?"
In the charming voice, Duan Shanyue's busy head looked as well-behaved as a child in kindergarten.
"Now that everyone understands the situation in front of us, the rest will be fine." Seeing that the other party had no intention of continuing to cause trouble, Christine nodded with satisfaction, and then pointed forward: "We need
…Work together to get to that place.”
Following the direction she pointed, everyone looked towards the tall tower.
"That's the destination for us and you." She said these words that sounded a little awkward but could be understood by everyone: "As long as nothing happens, you and I can find what we want there.
,Hmm...probably."
She spread her hands: "I'm not sure now."
"It can basically be confirmed that there are indeed relics left by the ancient magic empire." The woman in red robe standing next to her added indifferently.
The woman in blue robe was silent for a while, then turned to Duan Qing and others: "At this point, I think everyone should have a common goal and... a common enemy."
A Niu scratched his head, Meng Zhu pursed his lips, Duan Qing lowered his head, Duan Shanyue frowned, only Xue Ling Huan Bing... her eyes were full of fighting spirit and determination.
Finally...this time, I'll show it to you!
"I hope you can fully consider your previous experiences, as well as the purpose and significance of your coming here." The woman in blue robe said here, and finally put away her charming look: "There are many things ahead.
Facing unknown dangers, even I and my sisters cannot guarantee that we can handle them all. When the time comes... I hope you can shoulder your due responsibilities."
She took two steps, took Freya's hand, and then faced everyone: "Whether it is as an adventurer or a companion... it is your responsibility."
"We will, ladies." A low voice sounded. It was Duan Qing, who was the leader of the group. He finally raised his head with a serious face.
"Adventurers never do dirty things." He put one hand on his chest and made a strange etiquette - this was something he learned in his spare time when he was offline to rest.
"In the name of the adventurer ancestors." He straightened up.
In front of him, figures in red robes and blue robes stood at attention, holding staffs, one on the left and one on the right in front of their chests: "May the will of the elements guide your path."
"Everyone rest for a while and then go out."
*********************
The first obstacle to progress is the cliff in front of us.
If you carefully observe the terrain here, you should be able to guess that the basin formed with the Emerald Tower as the center roughly forms the shape of a giant bowl. Therefore, its "bowl" part must have a larger slope, and the "bowl bottom" must have a larger slope.
"Part of the slope will slow down.
Duan Qing and the others are currently at the mouth of this giant bowl. They have to find a way to get off the cliff, and they can't just jump off.
Xueling Huanbing suggested that they find a few giant trees of the same height, jump over the top of the tree, and then continue downward, so that they can reach the bottom safely. However, this plan was rejected by Duan Qing, regardless of the part of the tree crown.
Whether it is stable or not, whether it is possible to be attacked by monsters, just the few Greenstone Village numbers that I brought with me are not that strong to jump over - at least Mengzhu and A Niu cannot.
The two great magisters do have the ability to fly, but they are not proficient in wind magic and cannot lead so many people. Even if they can do it, the process is very dangerous. You must know that the enemy in black is uncertain
They are still watching them secretly... Moreover, this method is also very costly for them, and is not a good choice both emotionally and rationally.
Duan Shanyue was alone, and was at the end of the road before the rendezvous. He was extremely short of supplies and tools, and could not find anything good for everyone to use. However, Duan Qing and Mengzhu prepared things like ropes before entering the Emerald Forest. Although those
Most of the ropes were used for camping. They were very short in length, but when connected together, they could barely reach the middle part of the cliff. So in desperation, everyone finally used Duan Qing's suggestion-climb down.
This is indeed the stupidest way.
Duan Qing and the others found a suitable tree to solve the remaining half of the height difference. As for how to tie the rope to the tree, they had to ask two great magicians for help. After the rope was tied, Duan Qing volunteered.
Trying his own methods, he climbed over the steep rope first, and then used a dagger as an aid to carefully slide down the tree trunk. The others looked over and watched Duan Qing's figure gradually blur until he disappeared into the dense jungle.
He heard his shouts from below.
"...Safety...come down..."
The height of the cliff plus the height of the giant tree was enough to make it difficult to distinguish Duan Qing's voice, but it was enough to hear these few keywords. Several people arranged themselves slightly, and then began to come out one after another, Xue
Ling Huan Bing looked at Duan Shanyue standing behind him and did not hide the vigilance in his eyes: "You..."
"Relax, girl, I'm not one of those ungrateful people from your Wings of Freedom..." Duan Shanyue crossed his arms with a look of disdain.
Xue Ling Huan Bing is not afraid of the possible tricks in the process, because the two figures, one blue and one red, are still floating not far above, paying attention to the movements here.
Watching the last man wearing tattered leather armor get on the rope, Freya finally couldn't help but ask: "Sister, this person..."
"I know your doubts, my dear sister." The woman in blue robe didn't take it seriously: "But after all this time, you still don't believe my intuition, that's... as a woman
, terrible intuition?”
Christine blinked her eyes narrowly, as if hinting at something. A trace of aura finally appeared on the indifferent face that was completely inconsistent with the fiery red color.
"Although the time was relatively short, according to my observation, that man is not a bad person." Seeing that her dear sister was a bit embarrassed, Christine finally came up with her guess: "And the strength should be that of those few
The strongest among the adventurers, I think... he should be able to help us..."
Freya turned to look at her sister, and saw some doubts on her face - the direction of her doubts was naturally different from her own.
"No matter what happens, we will deal with them." She could only say.
"...Of course." Looking at her resolute expression, Christine couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile: "I am convinced of this, my dear sister."
The two of them fell down together and merged into the crowd of adventurers.
*********************
The environment of the forest below is not much different from before. Although everyone is still in awe of the huge tree trunks with a diameter of more than ten meters, they have gradually become accustomed to these towering things after seeing them more.
The only difference is that the road at the beginning is still on a steep slope.
Due to the large span of the tree trunk, which is more than ten meters wide, it also shows a sloping cross section on the ground. Often when Duan Qing and others go around a tree, they will inevitably see the exposed and deeper trunk. Sometimes
You can even see some tree roots that are thicker than people, criss-crossing and deeply rooted in front of everyone's eyes.
The strange thing is that with such unbalanced exposure, these giant trees still grow as straight as javelins and continue to maintain their ninety-degree skyward posture - this is rare in nature, and they are almost as if they are buried vertically in the slope.
Duan Qing and the others could only understand that this was by design in the free world.
Fortunately, up to now, they have not encountered those unscientific hordes of monsters before, so there is no real danger for the time being. However, a few people have not relaxed their vigilance because of this, because such calm is not nothing.
Good sign.
In this situation, any slight noise may break this balance. The next moment, this balance will be broken.
The strongest Duan Shanyue heard the strange sound first, and then warned everyone. Duan Qing and the others listened for a while, and then heard Christine's giggle: "It's the sound of running water, don't be nervous.
"
Mengzhu breathed a sigh of relief, and was just about to follow the others and continue walking forward, when he suddenly noticed Duan Qing stopping and looking at each other in that direction, and couldn't help but stop: "What's wrong, uncle, let's go quickly..."
"Let's go over there and have a look." Duan Qing's cry echoed in the forest, and everyone else stopped.
"I always feel... there might be something happening over there."
No matter how you walk, as long as you are in the basin, you will reach the center sooner or later, so few people have no objection to Duan Qing's proposal. Following the sound of flowing water, everyone found a river, but except for the clear water flowing in the river
They found nothing useful about the spring water.
"It's just an ordinary river... No matter what idea you have, it seems that it has come to nothing." Xue Ling Huan Bing patted Duan Qing's shoulder with a rather mocking tone. Duan Qing did not take it seriously.
, continued to encourage others: "Now that we have come this far, let's go forward along the river. Anyway, the river will definitely flow there in the end..."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you..." Even if there is any problem in this, no one can see it for a while, so there is still no objection to this proposal, and everyone decided to just go with the flow.
, it doesn’t matter where you go.
Although the Emerald Tower is very high, after everyone was submerged in the jungle again, their line of sight was naturally blocked. Therefore, after entering the map called "Around the Emerald Tower", Duan Qing and others saw nothing but
Apart from the high tower, no other man-made buildings were seen. But even so, everyone enjoyed the natural environment, the breeze, the green leaves, and due to the height difference, the "giant umbrella" composed of the tree crowns above their heads.
"It's not so airtight. The sunlight passes through the dense forest with distinct layers, leaks from above, and shines on the gurgling water, as if it has coated the clear river water with a layer of golden scales. Occasionally, a section of the river is covered by
A certain stone stirred up and reflected colored light in the air.
At a certain moment, the flow of the river became intense. Ahead was a corner of the river, and there seemed to be a waterfall - several people heard the rumble of the river water falling downwards. After turning that place, they walked
Aniu, who was at the front, saw the water splashed up by the waterfall, reflecting a rainbow in the sky.
"This place is really nice." Aniu praised the beautiful scenery, then thought about it, and then said, "This game is really nice."
"Enjoy the magnificence brought by virtual technology!" Duan Shanyue walked to A Niu: "The charm of the game does not stop there."
"Of course." Aniu patted his chest: "For example, fighting, haha! I just like this, fighting here is very exciting..."
Duan Shanyue was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Son, you are very good, I am very optimistic about you, do you want to..."
"Don't poach yourself in front of others." Xue Ling Huan Bing said coldly at the side.
"We have always been so open and aboveboard in recruiting people! Unlike you, you have to do everything secretly." Duan Shanyue counterattacked mercilessly: "Besides, liking to fight is a man's romance, what do you know...
..."
When A Niu nodded in agreement, the face of the woman in the black cloak seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, but the girl in the purple burqa on the other side immediately helped her fight back from the other direction:
"Fight, fight, fight! You just like fighting, right? If you meet those ants and poisonous bees from before, let's see if you still like fighting..."
A Niu and Duan Shanyue changed their expressions at the same time, no more.
"Hey, don't be clumsy and come here quickly." Duan Qing on the other side whistled, and then said to several people: "Look what we found..."
Several people looked in the direction Duan Qing pointed - it was already under the waterfall, and the river continued to flow forward, but not far away, artificial traces began to appear.
First there were scattered stones, then some broken wood, stones, a combination of broken wood and stones, and then a wide area appeared in front of everyone.
There are ruins, broken walls, short wooden piles, signs, destroyed carts, broken wooden wheels, scattered utensils, broken doors and windows, and there seem to be black scorch marks in some places. The river flows from here
Weaving through this place, passing by the edge of a square formed by a piece of bare land, and then turning to a farther place that could not be seen. Extending along with it, there were more scenes of ruins like the ones in front of them.
And thanks to these ruins, the open blue sky is rarely exposed above. The gray and green tower stands not far ahead, blocking most of the blue sky that people can rarely see here. And close to this area
At the edge, some vines squeezed in from the gaps in the collapsed wall, and then stretched out from the damaged area on the other side, as if embracing the entire abandoned house.
This is an abandoned village.
