They ran as fast as their feet left the ground, fear lingering in the hearts of both of them.

These black wasps are quite big, and if they are stung a few times, they will probably be blamed here.

Although the moonlight shines in the forest, it is still very dark under the dense canopy of trees. Oia is more agile and lighter than Wei Yi, so Wei Yi always follows Oia when running, even though he has already

He ran as hard as he could, but the distance between him and Oia was getting farther and farther as he climbed over bushes one after another. But Oia, who was running ahead, didn't seem to notice the distance between Wei Yi and himself.

Getting farther and farther, still running into the depths of the forest as if his body was close to the ground.

Suddenly, a thick fog appeared deep in the forest. Blocked by the thick fog, the road in front of Wei Yi became blurred, and the surrounding area became darker because of the fog.

When Weiy climbed over a hill, the swarm of black bees finally stopped chasing him. He made another roundabout and stopped behind a boulder.

However, Wei Yi's pupils shrank slightly, and he discovered a serious problem. Oia, who was about ten feet away from him before, had disappeared into the thick fog and lost his trace.

"Oia!" Vey clasped his hands in front of his mouth and shouted loudly.

There was dead silence all around, and there was no sound except the echo of voices among the tree trunks.

Wei Yi almost subconsciously took down the long sword from his back. He had encountered this kind of dead silence too many times during this journey, and every time there was almost no good result.

His back was pressed tightly against the boulder, wary of the thick fog ahead.

The fog this time was the thickest that Wei Yi had ever seen since he entered the forest. He could no longer see clearly even two feet away from him. The black shadows that appeared when the fog surged made Wei Yi feel nervous, but when

When he looked carefully, they were all trees.

Wei Yi calmed down and began to recall the direction and situation when he just escaped.

Oia must have discovered that she was separated from him at this time, and he would definitely go back along the road to look for him, but such a thick fog obviously made it extremely difficult for Oia to identify the original route back.

He was following Oiya. Due to the sudden fog and the detour, he was completely unaware of the route Oiya took. This also made it impossible for him to find Oiya, and he could only let Oiya do the search unilaterally.

Own.

After a moment of thinking, Wei Yi decided to stay where he was. He could only wait for the fog to dissipate or set off at dawn tomorrow. Otherwise, if he left now, Oia would miss it by going back the same way, and it would be almost impossible for them to meet in this strange forest.

Many people die and disappear in the dark forest every year. Most of the reasons are due to unfamiliarity with the situation. The most important of them is that they are separated from their teammates and partners. If they are separated from the large group in a place like this, unless the goddess of luck protects them, it is basically a disaster.

A dead end.

In the early morning of the next day, Wei Yi rubbed his bloodshot eyes. Because yesterday's escape caused him to throw away all the things he could use for accommodation and warmth, he sat on the side of a boulder all night, enduring the cold and heat all night long.

It was cold wind, so I had to always be alert to my surroundings. It wasn't until two hours before morning that I squinted my eyes and took a nap.

He stood up and moved his stiff limbs, and began to look around for the marks left by Oia when he ran.

At first, Vey did find a lot of broken twigs and footprints left on the slippery clay. After careful identification, he was sure that these were indeed left by Oia.

But when Wei followed the traces to the edge of a small river full of hope, his hope was finally dashed. The river washed away all the traces along the bank, and the clues were interrupted again.

At this moment, Wei Yi suddenly thought that their destination was the mountain range in the center of the forest. Since Oiya found out that he was lost, would he come to their common destination to wait for him?

"I hope Oia is in the mountains." Weiyi murmured as he looked through the woods at the endless mountains not far away.

Wei Yi quickly set off and rushed towards the location of the mountains. Due to the afternoon sunshine, although the fog from last night was still there, it had dissipated a lot. Wei Yi could easily identify the situation at least ten feet away.

He slid down a steep slope quickly. Under the steep slope, the forest gradually became sparse and the terrain became flat. Wei Yi could clearly see a mysterious shadow on the ground in the distance.

Reflecting light in the sun.

Three hours later, Wei arrived at the clearing and discovered that the mysterious shadow was an abandoned building, and the reflected light was due to the metal tiles on the roof of the building.

The entire building has collapsed, and only a metal roof is still leaning on the ruins. The weathered walls and rusty metal show that this building must have been abandoned for a long time.

"Why is there a house deep in the dark forest?" Vey scratched his head in confusion.

After he confirmed that the surrounding area was safe, he started checking around the ruins.

Not far from the ruins, there is a metal pole that looks like a flagpole standing on a stone foundation on the ground. Due to the natural sun and rain, a powerful wind blowing over the flagpole will make a harsh squeaking sound.

Under the flagpole, there was a small stone tablet, with lines of small characters carved on it in an ancient language that Wei Yi could not understand. A few steps away from the flagpole was an abandoned hut with an area of ​​more than ten square meters. Wei Yi carefully opened it

The rusty iron door of the hut, thick dust fell from the door rails, and the house was already filled with low trees and shrubs.

Wei Yi silently looked at this large ruins. It was obvious that a long time ago, there had been a prosperous-looking town here, perhaps just like the highland valley where he lived.

The sun has gradually set in the west, and it is obviously impossible to continue on the road. Wei Yi does not want to continue to spend the night in an open space with no shelter from the wind. There happens to be an abandoned house here, and lighting a bonfire is enough for him to spend the night in a warm small space.

Had a good sleep.

...

Night came again, but this time Vey had a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Although the abandoned hut was dilapidated and had been abandoned for a long time, the strength of the metal walls and iron roof was still there, which was enough to protect Vey at night.

It's safe.

Vey's body was covered with straw mats made by himself. These small objects of daily life were like play to the hard-working and intelligent highlanders.

The bonfire gradually warmed the air in the hut. The smoke from the bonfire floated out from the two gaps in the ceiling, and Vey's eyelids also closed due to fatigue.

...

Late at night, the loud noises and voices outside the house woke up the sleeping Wei Yi. He soon woke up and held the long sword leaning against the wall in his right hand. The bonfire in the house had long since burned out, leaving only a few embers.

From time to time, faint sparks appeared.

Vey stood up and listened carefully. He gently removed the hay filled in a crack and peered outside the house.

Not far from the abandoned hut, next to the ruins of the house that Vey saw in the afternoon, several huge bonfires were burning fiercely.

A dozen small voices gathered around the fire, speaking in hoarse and sharp voices in a language that Wei Yi couldn't understand. They obviously didn't realize that Wei Yi was staring at them in an inconspicuous hut not far from them.

.

Although he couldn't understand the language spoken by this group of strangers, Vey was able to identify the group of people with the help of the bright firelight.

Their short stature and barbarian-like behavior are enough to explain their identity - goblins.

Goblins live in the forests or mountains in the west and south. Because they are extremely aggressive and barbaric, and they often plunder and kill in groups, goblins can kill in the three major empires and multiple tribes.

The goal.

Wei Yi naturally recognized the goblins. When he was a child, dozens of goblins came to infest the Highland Valley, but the well-trained townspeople headed by his teacher quickly repelled the goblins and killed nearly fifty goblins to warn them.

.During that invasion, an aunt who was very kind to Vey also died at the hands of the goblins, so Vey only had a bad feeling towards the goblins.
