The dense forest is deep and quiet, and the midday sun struggles to filter in through the gaps in the leaves. The golden light pours on the tops of the trees, and has been cut into fine streams of light when it reaches the ground covered with thick soft rotten leaves.
The small animals that have lived here for a long time will definitely not make rustling sounds during the day, because they must know that although the dense forest looks gentle and friendly, there are countless dangers hidden in the dark.
Dulan and Abu walked carelessly on the soft land made of rotten leaves. From time to time, thick tree trunks were hidden under the rotten leaves, or branches like ferocious veins were exposed. Although the two people's steps were light, they were not authentic after all.
The seemingly cautious way forward by a druid or ranger is no more than beating gongs and drums to advance in the eyes of sensitive creatures.
Abu had no idea that this was the first time that the fire-eating beast had left the flame lair, and everything outside was strange and new to him. He wandered around in front of and behind Duran with great energy, his red skin amidst the rich green
Stand out from the crowd.
Duran is self-aware, but he has no intention of stopping Abu from disturbing other creatures, because in his impression, the creatures in this dense forest cannot pose a sufficient threat to himself and Abu. And the destination is at
Not far away. Since neither of them is very accustomed to the rhythm of the dense forest, it is better to speed up the pace than to advance slowly.
However, Duran soon discovered that his laissez-faire parenting style obviously overestimated Abu's consciousness or underestimated the fire-eating beast's ability to cause trouble——
Abu, who was rolling on the ground, suddenly jumped forward out of curiosity, and climbed up a big tree neatly.
Dulan was slightly surprised. He was about to praise Abu for his profound knowledge of tree climbing and his style as an ancient snitch. Who knew that before he could say anything, his eyes were about to pop out: "Abu! Don't touch it!"
Dulan's warning obviously did not have the desired effect. The extremely curious fire-eater ignored the harassment of several worker bees and resolutely stretched out a front paw and picked up a hornet's nest the size of a watermelon in his arms.
"Abu?" The fire-eating beast waved to Duran cheerfully. The next second, countless buzzing sounds sounded instantly!
Dulan's head was full of black lines and he said speechlessly: "Boy, please wish yourself well..."
After saying that, Dulan didn't have the sense of loyalty to share the joys and sorrows, so he ran away with his head in his arms and rushed forward.
Dulan rushed out five or six steps before Abu's panicked exclamation sounded behind him. Dulan looked back and saw that poor Abu was already surrounded by wasps in the dark sky.
The fire-eating beasts panicked and tried to dodge these small but fierce creatures. Unexpectedly, one of them failed to stand and fell straight from the branch.
"Abu, hurry up, this way!" Duran couldn't help shouting.
Abu, who was stunned from the fall, stood up like a carp. A swarm of wasps came buzzing. The guy was so frightened that he ran with Dulan without saying a word.
Duran's running speed is equivalent to three times that of an ordinary person. Abu looks fat, but he is actually very skilled. One man and one beast scurried away, running as fast as they could into the depths of the jungle. For a moment, the fierce group of
Even the wasp failed to catch up.
"Abu abu!" The fire-eating beast used all four limbs, running out of breath, and kept wailing.
While identifying the route forward, Duran was happy when he saw Abu. This guy had at least a dozen bags, big and small, on his body. Although his coquettish red skin could help him cover up some marks, the pain on his skin was probably
It's inevitable.
"Don't worry, it will be safe ahead!"
The two of them stepped across a low bush, a buzzing sound came quickly behind them, and they were approaching much faster.
After crossing the bushes, Dulan saw a relatively empty flat area in front of him. Several broken stone pillars stood stubbornly in the central area. Weeds spread and gravels lay across the area, creating a dilapidated and desolate scene.
"The Silent Pillar! It's right here!"
Dulan's eyes lit up and he quickly gave Abu a hand.
The two of them rushed between the two stone pillars, and Duran suddenly stopped.
The fire-eating beast failed to brake in time and flew head-on into a pile of rubble.
"Crash!"
Countless gravels slowly slid down from the edge, and the fire-eating beast plunged into the pile of rocks, leaving only a smooth butt exposed and its short tail trembling. Duran couldn't help laughing.
.
Abu struggled to get out of the pile of rocks, staring at his surroundings with a pair of big eyes.
However, what surprised him was that those evil spirits did not appear around him!
Dulan walked to the edge of the rubble, pulled out Abu unceremoniously, and scolded: "You dare to poke a hornet's nest, you are so brave!"
The fire-eating beast was pulled to the open space by Duran, and suddenly looked around in panic.
Dulan said amusingly: "They don't dare to come in here. Although the moon elves have left here long ago, this abandoned altar still contains part of Vanya's divine power. Micro creatures like them, once they approach Chuyue Vanya
Ya's altar, the soul will be immediately shaken to pieces."
With a suspicious look, Abu stuck out his little head and took a look outside. Sure enough, he found that the black wasps only stayed outside the stone pillars, but did not dare to enter the range of the stone pillars.
Duran ignored Abu and strode into the depths of the pile of rocks.
Although the Moon Elves settled here in the Second Age, their traces remain in many places on Mount Helga. The Moon Elves believe in Vanya, the goddess of the first moon in March, and they build altars deep in the jungle.
Pray devoutly when the moon rises. And Vanya never skimps on divine power, so even an altar that has been abandoned for a long time will still have a small amount of divinity left.
The soul strength of wild animals like wasps that are not even monsters is very fragile and will directly collapse under the pressure of this divinity. The souls of humans and large creatures such as fire-eating beasts are relatively strong.
, so Duran and Abu can wander around the ruins of the altar safely.
The glory of the past is no longer the same, and the once proud elves have long since left this place. When the evil dragon invaded at the end of the Second Age, the moon elves left the mortal world under the leadership of the Elf King Bellingham and headed east along Mount Helga.
After trekking, they crossed the Lake of Winter and finally took refuge in Eberron, a refuge established by the ancient saints.
At this time, the only sounds left at the Silver Moon Altar were the whispers of the leaves caressing the leaves in the afternoon breeze, and the uneasy calls of the fire-eating beasts.
Of course, Dulan didn't come here to lament the spring and autumn and lament that things are different. He walked directly to the deepest part of the pile of rocks and kicked away the rocks that were in the way. The totems and lines carved on the earth were gradually exposed.
come out.
"Sure enough, it is still useful." Duran took care of the quiet rune circle carved underground for a while, and found that although the altar was abandoned, the rune circle used for sacrifice was intact.
This is what Duran needs most.
Duran is not a moon elf, so he does not need to express strong piety to Vanya. He only needs to maintain basic respect. And this quiet rune circle is a place where sacrifices can be made to Vanya. Once Vanya
If you accept the items from the sacrificer, you will be generous in return.
Although it is noon right now and it is impossible to pray to Vanya through the altar, Dulan is not a follower of Vanya, so the Silence Rune Array can be used.
With Abu's help, Duran finally cleared all the obstacles on the Serenity Rune Array.
After signaling the fire-eating beast to wait outside the magic circle, Duran slowly used the oak thorn to lightly cut the pulp of the middle finger of his left hand.
Three points of dark red and pure blood quietly fell into the red turquoise stone in the center of the Quiet Rune Array.
"W'SPIPA! (Moon Elf Language: Heart of Silence)"
The awkward Moon Elf language came out of Dulan's mouth, which made him feel very uncomfortable. If Dulan hadn't memorized all the information in the game, including the language, he might not have been able to activate the Rune of Silence.
.
The lines under Dulan's feet shone brightly, and the red turquoise stone trembled slightly. Soon, a round stone platform rose from the ground and slowly appeared in front of Dulan.
The sunken place in the center of the stone was for the sacrificer to place the sacrifice.
Countless light blue runes suddenly appeared, and the entire array suddenly turned into a vast ocean, and the sky above turned from bright to black, turning into a deep starry sky.
Standing under the starry sky, Duran seemed to hear the goddess whispering in his ears.
This subtle feeling only lasted for a second. Duran quickly reacted and placed the sacrificial object respectfully on the stone platform.
The lavender colored glaze is particularly dazzling under the starlight. The primary bottle of eternity is comparable to a small artifact in the game. Although it was broken by Duran, the value of its fragments is still immeasurable.
The blue runes of tranquility on the stone platform wrapped the two fragments of the primary bottle of eternity. After a while, the light shone brighter and brighter.
A huge light screen flew down and stayed quietly in front of Dulan's eyes.
Duran knew that what was on the light screen was a gift from Vanya, the goddess of the first moon, who was satisfied with his sacrifice.
Of course, the word gift is the moon elf's term. In Dulan's heart, this is more like a transaction.
"Everyone takes what he needs."
Duran pursed his lips, the fragments on the stone platform had disappeared, and on the light screen, there were three things for Duran to choose from:
【A mysterious egg】
[Rock Puppet (Gold)*2]
[Jinghua Swordsmanship Comprehension Book (LV3)]
…
"I choose the rock puppet!" Duran just glanced at it and chose the center option without hesitation.
The next second, two tall figures rose from the ground and appeared behind Duran with a thunderous rumble.
