The gentle sun hung high in the sky. At noon, Dulan and his party finally escaped from the desolate and vast plains and plunged into the dense jungle... This jungle is said to be so vast that it goes deep into the chaos.
But unlike the mushroom forest in the southern part of the White River Plain, the trees here don't seem to have been completely contaminated by the magic of chaos.
Since everyone entered the forest, all they could see were green and lush trees. From time to time, a few agile white rabbits would jump across the grass and disappear from everyone's eyes in the blink of an eye.
Everything was as peaceful as an ordinary forest.
However, Dulan knew that this was just an appearance. Although they didn't know why the chaos magic power failed to affect the three towns and their surrounding areas, as the journey deepened, they would definitely encounter areas where the chaos magic power surged.
Those areas were often filled with ferocious monsters, and Duran didn't want to cause trouble, so he made up his mind to resolve this battle quickly.
Since midnight last night, the group has been moving forward at a constant speed, taking two breaks in the middle. Dulan has the talent of the Flame King, his physique is different from ordinary people, and he has the experience of fighting in evil places, so naturally he will not feel tired.
Among the rest, Ogre and Simodo are energetic guys, while Jamal and Qili are ordinary humans. Although they have undergone certain training, they still inevitably show a trace of tiredness. As for the two mischievous little ones,
The guys, one on the left and the other on the right, were sleeping soundly on Tiepi's shoulders. Any bumps would have no effect on these two sleepyheads.
Duran and Qili walked at the front of the team, accompanied by the forest wolf White Spot. Although this little wolf is underage, it has grown quite tall, and his broad shoulders have reached Duran's waist.
, it will take up to half a year to grow into a real behemoth.
"What a beautiful guy." Seeing the white spots jumping back and forth between the front and the team, looking full of energy, Dulan couldn't help but admire.
"Thank you." Qili replied politely: "White Spot has always been the best. His father is the king of forest wolves, but his mother is even more powerful - she is a giant winter wolf from the northern ice field. White Spot inherited
The advantages of his parents are that he is always full of energy and may be a bit wild and untamed, but I always think he is the best hunter."
Dulan was a little surprised: "The giant winter wolf? The legendary terrifying wolf that can speak human words and stand on two feet? But they are rarely seen in the south?"
Qili nodded and said: "The giant winter wolves have intelligence that is not inferior to humans. They often hide in the depths of the northern ice fields and are invisible to ordinary people. Even the bravest barbarians do not dare to confront the giant winter wolves."
Dulan smiled: "It can be seen that the white-spotted father must be very powerful."
The young man said shyly: "In fact, it's the opposite. Bai Ban's mother is the one with good martial arts, and his father was forced to do so - every female winter wolf will take the initiative to attack during the mating period."
, looking for the best of the same kind as a partner. Unfortunately, her mother was tamed by my master and brought from the north to the south. There are no people of her kind here, so she had no choice but to choose the wolf king of the forest wolves as a partner."
"Your master must be an amazing person." Duran said: "As far as I know, even Kiska and barbarians who are good at taming animals can rarely tame the giant winter wolf."
Kili raised his head happily: "Of course, he is a very powerful ranger. He has dedicated his life to the jungle. From the north to the south, he tried to resist the evil invasion of the forest on his own until he was unable to do so.
The day I die of exhaustion.”
"So you live in the Mushroom Forest to resist evil?"
The young man's mood dropped slightly: "That's more or less the case, but later, he told me that the trees in the Mushroom Forest were completely damaged, and even the Great Druid of the Celestial Bear Council couldn't save them. So we were ready to leave.
There, but unfortunately, he suddenly fell ill before that, and he passed away the next day."
"So you walked out of the forest and joined the dragon people?" Dulan asked.
Qili scratched his head in embarrassment: "I was in a daze at that time and didn't know what to do. My abilities were limited and I didn't know where to go. They happened to be recruiting troops at that time, and there was a guy who saw
When they dragged me over with my white spots on my face, I was too embarrassed to refuse, so I became a member of the Lord's Guard in a daze."
Dulan couldn't help but be dumbfounded. This guy looked like he was in his early twenties, but he probably lived in isolation in the forest for too long and couldn't understand the situation in the outside world.
So he smiled and asked: "Then you are also confused now?"
Qili said with some embarrassment: "It should be better than before... I heard some information from other people. The dragons are oppressing humans, and I am a human with pure blood. I should follow Lord Duran.
It’s also a more meaningful thing.”
"Don't you have any wishes or dreams of your own?" Dulan asked curiously. Is this guy too confused?
Kili was silent for a while and replied: "My master's wish was to maintain the order of the forest, so he became an excellent ranger. But I am not, I am just a hunter. In fact, I don't know much about the jungle.
love, so I walked out of the forest."
"I want to take a look at human society and try to find the meaning of my existence...but it's good to just live with the situation." The young man smiled silently, "At least I think Lord Duran is not a bad person."
Du Lan shook his head and sighed in his heart. On the eve of this era of great turmoil, there are too many people who are full of enthusiasm and ready to go, and there are also too many people who are ignorant and at a loss.
Obviously, Qili falls into the latter category. Duran can't change their fate, but he can at least give them a thought.
So he smiled and said to the young man: "If there was a place that could give everyone equality and freedom, how would you view it?"
Qili thought for a while and said: "I will defend him with my life."
Duran patted Qili on the shoulder: "Remember what you said today."
And in his heart, he silently added: "It won't be too far away from that place."
…
At this moment, the white spot in front suddenly accelerated and ran back, howling three times in a low voice.
When Qili heard this, his expression immediately changed and he said to everyone: "About fifty steps ahead, we are about to enter the swamp area, and White Spot found some unusual traces." (To be continued.)
