Even though they had determined the direction, it still took them a lot of time to go to that strange continent, because as the distance got closer, the chirping sounds above the two people's heads became more and more frequent.
Like the mountains around Fenghua Plain, the mountain range where Hulan Mountain is located is also composed of a large continuous range of high and low peaks. Although it is not as tall as Falling Star Mountain, which is like the roof of the world, several higher peaks are still there.
There is still white snow accumulated all year round. Although the continuous snow in the past few days has covered up this fact, the appearance of a forest on the top of a snow mountain is still something that ordinary people cannot imagine, let alone coming from all directions.
All kinds of beasts were gathering towards that place - as if they were at a lively meeting place. Various roars that never stopped sounded one after another around the mountain peak, and the sound of heavy footsteps was also related to the huge sound.
Together with the roar, they continued to converge towards the same destination in front of them. Along with them, there were a large number of airborne visitors gathering in that area, and they sounded similar to the giant one that attacked Duan Qing before.
There is no difference between birds, which makes Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huan Bing, who are approaching quietly, become more and more cautious.
"...Why are there no monsters passing by here?"
"Do you still want to cause trouble for us? The giant bird from before was enough for us..."
"I'm just curious about how they appear. Can't all monsters be birds? There's not even a single footprint here..."
"Let alone them, even our footprints cannot be left in this snowstorm for more than five minutes. Instead of doubting whether they left footprints, it is better to doubt whether they have the ability to climb up... My white wolf coat
Do you want to wear a white one? Your black cloak is really eye-catching in the snow..."
The two figures, which were extremely small compared to the mountain peak, pushed back and forth in the snow for a while, and then continued to approach along the side of the ridge, with countless passing giant figures approaching as well.
, passed over their heads again and again. It seemed that the temporary camouflage worked. These unknown giant creatures did not notice the arrival of Duan Qing again. They kept hovering in their respective airspaces, and at the same time
The impressive clear chirping sound was brought one after another to the woods. The stirring clouds and mist also appeared in the wind and snow one after another as these giant birds fell, and then gradually disappeared as the night fell.
It became blurry, and for a while, the only sounds on the cold mountain top were the neighing sounds of wild beasts, and the little bits of fluorescence that kept flashing out from the woods. These fluorescences seemed to be swaying back and forth with the constant vibrations, making the place there
The scene of the never-ending battle between wild beasts could be vaguely heard, and even the dim wind and snow coming from the top of the mountain never felt at all peaceful because of the falling of those giant birds.
"They seem to be fighting all the time."
Reaching out to catch a broken feather that fell from the air, Duan Qing, lying in the snowdrift on the ridge, said in a low voice: "Are you fighting for something?"
"...This system is so scientific that I won't even say its name." Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was also looking at the feather, looked at the words "feather of an unknown creature" prompted by the system, and his original deep voice also revealed
A bit helpless: "But... this kind of thing should be used as a material, right? I can feel powerful energy on it..."
"According to the general design method, such broken things are not of much use." Looking up at the white feathers falling with the snowflakes in the sky, Duan Qing replied in an indifferent voice: "If we can get these
Maybe the complete version of the thing will be what you want."
"...Then what are you waiting for? Let's go to the woods to find them." She let go of her white-armored palms and looked away from the remaining white feather flying in the air with the wind and snow.
Returning: "I haven't yet sought revenge on that bird for the attack on our tent before."
"We never hold grudges, because our grudges are avenged on the spot." Duan Qing sighed helplessly: "But with our current conditions... I'm afraid that the grudge between us will become deeper and deeper."
"Listen, they must still be fighting each other now." Xueling Huanbing pointed in front of them and above their heads: "As long as we choose the right time, we might be able to fish in troubled waters..."
"... Then arrange a hunting mission, but you have to listen to me first." Duan Qing immediately turned around and reminded: "Let's go there first and investigate the situation..."
"... Got it." Finally regaining his composure from the previous series of events, Xue Ling Huan Bing responded in a low voice: "I only have one request."
"If you find that bird... just remember to leave it with me."
The wind and snow all over the sky were gradually replaced by dots of fluorescent light, which slowly appeared in front of Duan Qing and the two of them. The approaching pace also began to become clear as the wind and snow dissipated, and the snow near the top of the mountain was scattered chaotically.
Around the ground, they finally found the destination they had been searching for all day. Duan Qing, who was standing on the edge of the mountain top, was once again shocked by the towering forest. Duan Qing, who withdrew his gaze, then rubbed himself a little.
With his sore neck, he turned around and took out his adventurer's map: "Tingsi Forest...yes, it's right here."
"...The location of our mission?"
"Not even a bit of wind and snow has seeped in... It seems that there is some mysterious power guarding this place."
"It may also be because of the geothermal heat that the snow here melts quickly..."
Unable to understand this mountain that should not appear in the common sense, the two people finally carefully touched the range of Tingsi Forest, while avoiding the various roars that came from the distance in the forest from time to time, while moving towards this area.
They walked out of the vibrant forest to explore. Even though they were surrounded by countless dangers, endless excitement emerged from the eyes of Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huanbing, and they followed the unknown paths.
The road opened by the beasts moved forward little by little, stopping from time to time to study the footprints and claw marks left by the giant beasts: "With such a width... your fingernails are thicker than your arms, right?"
"Two toes, one meter long and wide... With such deep footprints, are dinosaurs coming to this world?"
"Look at this... these should be the scales of some kind of animal. Although they look very thin, they are very hard. I can't break them off anyway..."
"This should be some kind of mushroom that has never been seen before, but it has been eaten now. The creature that ate it had a big mouth, and its teeth marks were even left on the bark of the tree next to it..."
It's like an enlarged forest. The figures of the two players walking in it appear extremely small. Among these plants with blades of grass larger than the palm of your hand, there are still many unknown plants growing on this fertile mountain top.
On the land. In order to take these items of unknown purpose back for study one by one, the two people had to start discarding some of the items in their backpacks. However, even so, the content related to weight and knowledge reserves still became the biggest obstacle to their collecting activities.
obstacle.
Of course, this does not take into account the numerous threats from monsters.
"The night is already very late, let's find a place to camp."
Once again bypassing the area where the howls from the two mysterious giant beasts were heard in the distance, Duan Qing looked up at the sky above his head for a while, and then while paying attention to his surroundings, he began to search for a hidden place where he could rest.
Ground: "After climbing the mountain for a day, the character's physical strength will not be able to support it. Although I don't know if it is safe to camp here, there is no other way now..."
"...It's just enough to dispose of the food you carry with you." Xueling Huanbing nodded in agreement: "This way, I can bring more local specialties..."
"You can not only bring local specialties, but you can also eat them." Pointing to the huge shaking sound still coming from the depths of the woods, Duan Qing assumed a posture of whispering: "If we really take those monsters'
If you eat the meat, you might be able to increase your character's attributes."
"I want to eat you, but I don't want to try that." Xue Ling Huan Bing's expression immediately turned uglier: "And those herbs you collected... haven't you had any reaction yet?"
"Although there are no adverse reactions, it shouldn't be of the type that can be eaten." Duan Qing seemed to be referring to some unbearable fact that he had done before. Duan Qing rubbed his belly and replied: "Just in case, I
There are still some samples left..."
"Are you sure those things have other uses?" Xueling Huanbing frowned slightly: "Instead of bringing those plant samples back, it would be more useful to bring some animal samples..."
"I know your eagerness to go to war, but now is not the best time." Duan Qing let out a long sigh: "The unknown factors in this forest have far exceeded our imagination. If we act rashly,
, I don’t know if I will encounter a disaster like the Emerald Forest..."
"Now that I think about it, the origins of the villages at the foot of the mountain seem very suspicious." Xueling Huanbing turned his attention to farther places: "Including those villages and towns on the Anderson side... If they all know
If it’s this place, what’s the reason why they keep coming to pay tribute?”
"...an ecology that grows under extreme conditions should naturally have its reasons for becoming what it is now."
Passing by the edge of a towering giant tree again, Duan Qing, who brought Snow Spirit Magic Ice with him, came to the back of a huge rock in the bushes: "Including the giant beasts gathered here... Judging from what we have seen all the way here,
Look, they must have come here for some reason. If we want to figure out all the reasons in a short period of time, it is probably impossible for the two of us. What we can do now,
We can only maximize the benefits we get..."
"If you are unlucky, the battle may only happen once." Duan Qing turned his head when he said this, and his eyes fell on the center of the forest in front of him that was emitting bright fluorescence: "If we can figure out the secret here before going
Working hard to find the target...that's the best thing."
"...Should we find some help?"
Reaching out to take the corner of the tent handed over by Duan Qing, Xue Ling Huan Bing hesitated for a while: "If we have more people, we can not only increase the success rate of hunting, but also pack more resources here.
Some……"
"Are they the people who call you Wings of Freedom, or the people who call us the Fool's Adventure Group?" Duan Qing, who also grabbed the other side of the tent, asked with squinting eyes: "No matter which side of the people come, it's not you or me who can do it.
A safe choice, right?"
"Since there has never been any information about this place on the Internet, it means that no player has set foot in this place before." Xueling Huanbing glanced at the adventurer's manual at his waist: "As the first person to come here,
Batch of players, it would be a pity not to move all the value here..."
"Ha, woman." Nailing a corner of his tent in the green land, Duan Qing pressed his forehead helplessly: "It was you who said you wanted to challenge that giant bird before, and now you are the one who wants to be greedy.
, even if you like to change with your mood, you still have to have a little respect for the scenes in front of us... huh? "
Facing the direction from which the emerald green light came, he stood quietly for a while, then suddenly turned around under the confused eyes of Xueling Huanbing opposite him, and pressed his back against the rock surface behind the campsite he chose.
A heavy and obvious gasp then sounded from Duan Qing's side not far away, followed by a suddenly stretched out dinosaur head appearing in the air on the other side of the rock, set on the head like a round gem.
His eyes then swayed left and right for a while, and then suddenly turned to the direction of the rock where Duan Qing was hiding.
"Ouch——"
A deafening roar then sounded in Duan Qing's ears, causing him to cover his ears involuntarily and curl up. A sharp roar followed by a heavy earthquake sound appeared behind the rock, knocking the two players with it.
Their bodies were all knocked to the ground. The next moment, a giant beast similar in appearance to a dinosaur rushed in front of the two people. It grabbed the boulder where Duan Qing was hiding with one claw, and then suddenly lifted up the boulder.
, wailing and flying back to its original direction.
"What the hell……"
The body was also blown into the distant woods. Duan Qing rubbed his shoulders and stood up slowly. Then, together with Xueling Huanbing next to him, his shocked eyes fell on the piece of "that became a living thing"
"Rock": "It turns out that we have always wanted to set up camp next to others..."
"I'm offended. I'm offended."
He murmured a few words, and at the same time took the hand of Xueling Huanbing, who was still in a sluggish state, and then turned towards the other one before the "rock" erupted into a roar that shook the world again.
The depths of the forest in the direction are deserted.
