From morning to afternoon, there was no place to rest and eat, so everyone had to eat dried meat while walking. Soon in the evening, everyone was exhausted from walking with heavy backpacks and could no longer walk.
Ba Naogan had no choice but to ask everyone to find an open space at the foot of the mountain to camp, and use all the lime powder and mustard grass.
The night went by without incident, and the team that was marching early the next morning continued on their way, encountering some third- and fourth-level monsters attacking on the way, but it was nothing serious. It wasn't until this afternoon that everyone finally arrived at Oak Ridge.
Oak Ridge is a mountain, but not a mountain. Most of the trees growing on the dozen or so mountains nearby are oak trees, and there is only one type. In addition to the common swamp oaks and temperate rubber trees, the rare black-heart oak trees are also present.
There is growth here too.
And these oak trees have deep roots, big branches, and luxuriant leaves. They grow together, and the trees are leaning against the trees, and the trees are pressing against the trees. Looking at the dark forest, you can't see anything. Not to mention that you can't see, even people are hard to see.
Squeezing into this dark oak forest. However, there are still some open spaces around the oak forest, and you can even see traces of someone else's stay a few years ago.
After setting up camp, Asi said: "I won't follow you after we get here. I will return to town tomorrow after tonight. You should take care of yourself."
"Thank you very much." Ba Naoqian gave him another sum of money to thank him. It was also because of his help that they were able to get here smoothly: "You can go back by yourself."
Asi said with a simple smile: "Don't worry about me, I am a part of this forest and have my own survival skills."
"Yeah." Ba Naogan nodded. He had noticed Asi's skills and abilities along the way. Asi knew exactly where there would be dangers in the forest and how to avoid them, so he could be confident in him.
Ba Naogan is not worried about going back.
Because it was still early, everyone decided to check whether the surrounding situation was safe after taking a short rest. Ba Naogan called a few key members to discuss their mission plan.
The map was opened. Ba Naogan pointed at the map and said: "Now that we are here, walking west and south from Oak Ridge, there are two places surrounded by our mission. I decided to go south first and take Luzwei
Finish the task entrusted to us by Archon Ersh. This task is relatively simple and easy to handle. Once completed, we will turn back and head west to continue in depth and complete our first task."
Emmason picked at the bridge of his nose and said, "You mean we have to stay here for two more days with Oak Ridge as the center?"
Ba Naogan said: "I think this place is safer, so we don't have to change locations every day. After completing these two simple tasks, we can go to Qingbaipo and Shiling Mountain to have a look."
"To go to Qingbaipo and Shiling Mountain, shouldn't we go to Shengxiang Mountain first? This way, the journey will be longer, and it will be a little different from the route we originally planned." The illusionist said.
Ba Naogan said: "I have thought about it. The task list said that we should search for the Nightmare Unicorn, and it also specified that we have seen it in the area of the Holy Elephant Mountain. But the Holy Elephant Mountain covers a larger area, and the nightmare unicorn is
The unicorn is a living monster that can walk around on its own. We can only try our luck to find it. At this time, the weather is just showing signs of warming up, and the monsters in the forest should not be very active yet. Maybe we are looking for the nightmare unicorn.
It will be easier to find if you move further back."
The illusionist nodded: "What you said makes sense, so let's do what you said. Just try to gain time, finish these tasks as soon as possible, and don't stay in the Warcraft Forest for a long time."
"I know, this is not a fun place."
On one side, Wayne, Luo, Irina, and Susan were wandering around Oak Ridge with Bemoyer, and beside them, Undine and the big head who couldn't be driven away were also with them.
Wayne held a machete listlessly and cleaned the grass and trees in front of his feet: "The Warcraft Forest is really boring. It is not as exciting as the places we experienced in ordinary mercenary missions before. You see, we have been in the forest for a few days. In addition to hunting
I ran away with a few wild dogs and nasty monkeys, but didn't encounter anything else."
"Didn't you also see the Death Demon Bear and... fight with that dinosaur?" Susan said.
"Carnotaurus." Wayne said: "What's exciting about that? It's not fighting us. It would be exciting if we could work together to defeat the greedy and evil giant monster like in the story and obtain the treasure of victory."
Susan snickered and said: "You must have read too many adventure novels recently. We are here to perform a mission, so there are no treasures."
Irina spread her hands helplessly and said: "Susan, that's what he is, his mind is full of heroism and unrealistic fantasies. If we really encounter a guy as scary as in the novel, it will be really bad for everyone.
"
Wayne had long been accustomed to disparaging Irina, and said to himself: "This is not called fantasy, but a dream. The King of Heroes once said that people without dreams cannot become great heroes."
"Hey, have you been reading a lot recently and quoted the famous sayings of the Hero King Sag?" Irina said: "Then have you ever heard that people who can't distinguish between fantasy and reality will eventually be judged by themselves?
drowned in fantasy and become a madman."
Wayne shook his head: "Who said this?"
"Me." Irina said.
"cut."
"Look ahead." Luo pointed forward and said, "Isn't that Ian?"
Ians, with his ponytail, can be recognized at a glance from the back.
"It's him, what is he doing standing there?" Susan said.
"Go over and have a look."
Ians didn't seem to notice someone coming from behind, and he was holding two metal rods in his hands and gesticulating in the air.
"Hey Ians." Irina ran over from behind, startling him.
Ians quickly patted his chest and said, "What are you doing? You scared me to death."
Irina covered her mouth and smiled: "You are a big man, but you are so timid. I just said hello to you and scared you into this."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wayne muttered beside him: "You obviously scared him on purpose."
"What are you doing?" Susan saw the strange metal rod in his hand and asked curiously: "What is this?"
"This, this is my baby." Ians smiled mysteriously and said, "Guess."
"Hmm..." Susan stared at the metal rod for a long time, shook her head and said, "I can't guess, you might as well tell me."
Ians chuckled: "This is called a detection rod. It's what I use to detect things."
Susan became even more curious: "What can this detect?"
Ians smiled mysteriously again: "Guess again."
"It is used to detect water, metals, ores and gems." Bimoye broke this boring and uninteresting guessing game.
"Ha, you actually know." Ians looked at Bemoyer.
Everyone else was surprised. Wayne rushed up and said, "You said these two sticks can find gems? Is that true?"
"I think these are just two ordinary metal rods." Irina also said.
Luo raised his head and thought back: "Wait a minute, I seem to have heard of this kind of thing somewhere. It seems that there is such a saying. It seems to be called 'Water Seeking Technique' and 'Daojin Technique'."
"Yes, there is such a title." Ians nodded.
Irina and Susan both exclaimed: "Does that mean it can really find gems and gold mines?"
"This..." Ians smiled bitterly: "I don't know about this. I just heard this saying, so I gave it a try."
Bimoye said: "I have read in books that this is actually a kind of divination witchcraft. There is no practice or basis to prove that this method is effective. Ancient people preferred this kind of divination, but now
People don’t believe this anymore.”
Susan and Wayne were a little disappointed.
Irina asked: "Are you not a money addict? You actually thought of using such an unreliable method to find treasures."
"Haha, no no no." Ians said: "What I'm looking for is not a treasure, but a source of water."
"Looking for water?" Irina was even more surprised: "There are springs and streams everywhere in the Warcraft Forest, do you still need to look for them?"
Ians shook his head and said: "What I am looking for is not ordinary water, but the water of the holy spring - the Demonic Spring of Agelessness."
