As night falls, the sky of Olas is rendered with crystal-like star patterns. In this high-altitude mountain range, the starlight is brighter, and the twinkling glow seems to lightly cover the ground with a silver film.
The bonfire was lit by Ke'er, and the entire camp was filled with an orange-yellow halo. Even if you just glance at this warm-toned light from a distance, it is enough to give people a touch of spiritual warmth. Everyone quickly
Set up the tent, and then sit together around the campfire as usual, share the spoils, or summarize the experience or mistakes of the day's battle.
Wrought Iron took off his sentry helmet and put it aside. He stretched out his hands and rubbed them in front of the campfire. He kept his dissatisfied expression and said: "Damn it! There might be a handy ax in the BOSS's equipment! Oh...
Such a big one!" He stretched out his hands to try to draw what the ax in his mind should look like, but the dwarf's limited hand length was obviously far from meeting his needs.
"Or a beautiful pair of armor!" The little girl tapped her silver two-handed sword and pouted.
"That's enough!" Half Apple stretched out his hand and waved, showing an impatient expression. "This is the fourteenth time. Although I don't know when dwarves and paladins became noisier than halflings, I say enough is enough."
Yeah...yes, none of us can get the BOSS's equipment, that's enough."
"That...that cliff is very deep." Xinyu said timidly.
Tie Tie and the little girl showed disapproval in a tacit understanding. Xinyu shrank back and said apologetically: "Yes... I'm sorry."
"But, sister Ke'er." Quiet Xue suddenly turned her head and stared quietly at Ke'er who had been burying her head in sorting her equipment.
"Ah..." Ke'er's movements froze for a moment. After a while, she raised her head and smiled - that may not be called a smile anymore, it can only be regarded as twitching the corners of her mouth.
"Sister Ke'er." Quiet Xue repeated, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and there was a hint of worry in her tone.
Everyone who was talking turned their eyes over and noticed something strange about Ke'er.
"I...I'm fine, haha, don't worry, I just remembered something..." Ke'er brushed her hair and smiled reluctantly.
"Speak out what's on your mind and share it with your friends. Well, that's what I usually do!" Wrought Iron chewed a piece of dried meat in his mouth and said vaguely. Half Apple looked back at him with a clear look in his eyes.
A look that says 'you still have to say something human sometimes'.
"Yes, I think so too." Xiao Fen spread his hands, put down the scroll he was copying, and said softly.
"No." The smile on Ke'er's face gradually disappeared, and she shook her head, "It's not a big deal, just leave me alone for a while."
With that said, she stood up and walked towards the outside of the camp. When she reached the edge of the orange halo, she turned back and her warm smile returned to her face. She said in a voice like a silver bell:
"Everyone, go to sleep first. I'll just stay up until midnight tonight."
Quiet Snow quietly watched Ke'er walking towards the cliff where the fierce battle took place today, watched her stop on the edge of the cliff, and watched her slightly lonely figure under the starlight. Quiet Snow turned around and looked at
He looked at Xiao Fen and said softly: "Captain."
"What?" Xiao Fen raised his eyebrows and immediately became alert.
"Go and persuade Sister Ke'er!" the little girl said with a smile, showing her usual naughty and slightly pitiful eyes.
"Why me?" Xiao Fen pointed at himself with a long and pale finger and asked strangely.
Half Apple stretched, yawned, and said lightly: "Haha——! Oh, the captain of a team should ensure that his team is in the best condition during the adventure, instead of being disturbed by all kinds of things.
Shrouded in negative situations, well... I mean, the rangers of a certain team are now in an extremely unstable emotional state, and the priest or other team members of their team have to be distracted by the rangers' abnormalities. I said, this
What a terrible state, oh my God!"
"Perhaps in this case, it would be better to leave this team of rangers alone." Xiao Fen shrugged.
"Omodin! This is an irresponsible guy, I swear." The dwarf snorted disdainfully.
Yun nodded, Manshi also nodded...
Ke'er sat quietly on the edge of the cliff, facing the starlight in the sky, recalling the battle in the evening, her face turned slightly pale. Without taking the time to look back at the direction of the camp, Ke'er suddenly felt that the orange
The warm glow is so far away from me.
"It seems that for a while I have been so close to him, as if I have merged into it. The feeling of happiness is really good." She lowered her head and murmured.
"Sister..." She whispered such a word softly.
Ke'er stretched out her green onion-like fingers and scratched the edge of the broken overhang, sighing softly.

The next morning, a light rain fell in the sky. At noon, the light rain gradually became heavier and formed a curtain-like rain curtain. The raindrops hit the red sand and gravel of Ranwu Peak and splashed.
A layer of dense red mist and trickling streams converged from the rock cracks and gravel gullies, forming a stream as red as blood.
In the gap under a huge rock in Burning Peak, a group of more than 50 people from the Bloody Slayer were taking shelter from the rain, and a thief named Qi Qi was one of the more than 50 people.
In the rock crevices, the members of the Bloody Slayer seemed a little excited. They were not discouraged at all by being blocked by that cursed Chimera for two days, even though they had already paid the price of more than a dozen of their partners. Of course, they
It’s not that they don’t value the lives of their companions, but according to what they said: Just kill that damn broken bird to avenge your brothers!
Their confidence comes from four people, from the team called the 'Silent Killers', although they may only recognize one of them - the lone traveler, the red-haired Luskai.
"When the weather clears, we'll send that damn broken bird to God!"
"That's right!"
Her ears were filled with these almost noisy sounds. Qiqi frowned. She looked around, carefully put away the poisoned dagger, and then looked blankly at the rain curtain outside the rock.
Qiqi knew that she was once a rookie who didn't understand anything. Later, like a novice, she met the big brothers and sisters of the Bloody Slayer. The brothers and sisters taught her how to become a competent wanderer.
, and brought her into the Bloody Slayer Guild, which was as warm as home - although at that time she still thought the name of the union was scary.
Thinking of this, she smiled knowingly.
"But everyone is polite and polite. Although there are always a few noisy guys, they are all cute. In my heart, the Bloody Slayer is the best union in the world." She thought this way.
Qiqi's family is not happy. Although she is not an orphan, the discord between her parents has always left a deep shadow in her heart. After she grew up and became independent, she experienced the warmth of home for the first time in a game, so she
Cherish it very much.
"My brothers and sisters are always so outstanding. Our guild is always praised by the novices here." She smiled proudly.
Qiqi knows that her luck has always been very good. Even in the game, members of the Bloody Slayer have lamented her nearly full attributes and incredibly high chance of dropping treasures more than once.
"All the happiness I have in the game comes from my brothers and sisters of the Bloody Slayer, so I am determined to protect this guild, and I also carefully guard this hard-won warmth." Qiqi took out the dagger again.

The team members with shining gold coins walked one foot deep and one foot shallow on the mountain path full of red mud and puddles. Although the cloaks in Canaan have rainproof functions, it is always not easy to travel in this environment.
It's something that makes people happy. Wrought Iron complained loudly in a rough voice, but in the sound of the rain, this complaint was washed away into vague mumblings.
The others buried their heads and just walked forward. They were not as energetic as the dwarves, and they still had the strength to make such a loud noise under such circumstances.
No one will be in a good mood in this state. Probably the only consolation is that the ranger in the team seems to have returned to normal, turning back into the elf girl who always shows a warm smile - of course.
She also found her carefulness and calmness.
Ke'er was walking at the front of the team. She raised her head from time to time, and the rainwater slid down the edge of her cloak like a thread, but this did not hinder her sharp eyes. Her clear water eyes flashed with a light that represented alertness.
A pair of slender hands quietly slid behind his back, freeing him from the ghostly spider's gaze.
"Arrow hawks, ahead, one at twelve o'clock and one at one o'clock." She raised her long bow, held the arrow quill and pulled it to the string, then released it, and instantly replaced it with the second arrow. She opened the bow at full moon, and released it again.
Opening the hand to pinch the string... Two feather arrows opened a white water mark in the rain curtain. Everyone just vaguely saw two blood-red numbers rising in front of them, and then heard the prompt about gaining combat experience.
Another Arrow Eagle made a turn in the one o'clock direction, cut through the rain at a speed of more than 300 feet per round, and pounced towards everyone from the three o'clock direction.
"Stone Wall Technique!" A red stone wall suddenly rose with Xiao Fen's gesture. Although he could not capture the movement of the Arrow Eagle when it dived at full strength, he could use the wall to block attacks from a certain direction.
.
The swooping Arrow Eagle used terrifying agility to pull up its body five feet in front of the stone wall and rush to a higher place. This agility is certainly worthy of praise, but in Xiao Fen's eyes, this kind of forced change of direction
This behavior caused a brief pause in its otherwise perfect flight trajectory - in fact, this momentary pause was enough to kill it.
"Ice Cone Technique!" Xiao Fen raised his hand, and the terrifying freezing air instantly solidified all liquids and solids in a cone of nearly 180 feet in front of him, including, of course, the poor Arrow Eagle.
"Great! Well done!" Half Apple whistled, and he raised his head habitually. Soon he paid the price for this stupid move - the rain from the sky suddenly poured into his eyes and neck.
…
"Ahem, shit... no, I mean, I think we have to find a place to hide from the rain. Walking like this is not an option, right, don't worry." He shook his head vigorously and said at the same time.
"Yes...yes, because we have only encountered young Arrow Eagles so far. In this low visibility situation, we will be at a disadvantage when dealing with such highly agile creatures." Xinyu added in a low voice.
Wrought Iron lifted the edge of his cloak that had slid to the ground and complained: "Damn, what I want to say is...why does this broken bird still appear on a rainy day."
Xiao Fen shrugged, "The arrow eagle with four pairs of wings has no legs. It moves all its life. Not to mention rain, it has to fly even if there is lightning... But" he looked around, "Maybe we have to find it."
Find a place to take shelter from the rain," he said.
Everyone suddenly showed a rather happy expression.
