The sky was getting dark, and the direction could no longer be seen in the dense forest. A mist rose in the forest in the evening, and an icy chill kept rising from under the feet. Even in the late summer, it felt a little too cold.
"Dulan, we should find a place to rest. We can walk out of this dense forest in half a day at most and arrive at Baihe Pier in the east of Baisha Town. Traveling at night is not a good decision - especially when we are not in a hurry.
"Kate shook the rain off her clothes to indicate that it was getting dark.
Duran nodded, but his eyes moved to the ogre holding the sleeping Abu.
Tiepi immediately replied: "Even if it's dark, I know the way out of this forest, but it's really unsafe to walk at night."
Dulan looked at the scene around him and suddenly asked: "Kate, did you tell me that this dense forest is the White River Pier?"
The demon warlock didn't know why, so he just nodded affirmatively.
Dulan's eyes became sharp. He took a few steps forward and whispered to himself: "It shouldn't be far."
"Sorry, Duran, what are you talking about?" Kate was a little confused.
Dulan waved his hand and motioned for everyone to follow him.
The path ahead kept forking, and the dense woods showed no sign of becoming sparse. At a fork, Duran carefully examined the skin of several ginkgo trees. He groped on the cold bark with his hands. After a while,
, Dulan's face showed a hint of joy.
"Sure enough, it's here!" Dulan easily peeled off a piece of bark, revealing a small arrow carved under the bark of the ginkgo tree.
"What does this arrow mean?" Kate came over curiously.
"Of course it indicates the direction." Dulan walked towards the direction pointed by the arrow, explaining as he walked: "When local hunters go into the mountains to hunt, they always build several temporary hunting cabins in some places.
.In autumn, through this dense forest, you can reach the large pasture at the northern foot of Mount Helga - it is a good place for hunting, so there are many hunter cabins in this dense forest."
"You mean, the place where this arrow points is the hunter's cabin?" Kate immediately understood what Duran meant.
Duran nodded. He pushed aside the wet leaves in front of him and carefully observed the situation around him. His perception was very high, but it was not high enough to detect all dangers. As for the data flow talent, Duran could not always
Turn on the visual inspection skill, otherwise the constantly changing data around him would be enough to burst his brain.
"If we are lucky, at least tonight we won't have to spend the night in a cave like the previous nights - like cavemen or ogres." Duran stepped over a thick tree trunk and turned back to signal: "Be careful.
.”
Ironhide immediately protested: "Master, you can't say that. Ogres also live in the house. You can't compare low-level and stupid cavemen with us. This is an insult to us."
Kate chuckled: "If all ogres could speak Common Language as smoothly as you do, I would still agree with you."
"Thank you for the compliment." Iron Face replied without blushing or heartbeat: "I am indeed outstanding among my peers, but I will not despise them because of this."
"You will only hate them very much, right? They single-handedly created an ogre who has lived for more than ten years but has never eaten human flesh." Duran blinked and found another hidden arrow.
More profound before, which means the hut is already within easy reach.
"Yes, I hate them." Tiepi said frankly: "It's not because they don't let me eat human flesh, it's because they don't agree with me and my wisdom."
"Believe me, as my follower, I agree with your wisdom." Dulan led everyone out of the wet forest. The front suddenly became empty, and a small wooden house loomed in the mist. "But I also
Like your companions, they think you lack enough courage. Those who are timid will never succeed. It’s time for you to change this problem."
Tiepi said hopefully: "Master, help me, I also want to make changes!"
"Well done, the first thing you need to do now is shut up!" Dulan's voice changed from high to low. He suddenly lowered his body and signaled everyone to stop.
The ogre closed his mouth knowingly, and Kate was a little confused. However, when she saw the faint light of fire coming from the hut in front of her, she immediately understood what had happened - it was not the hunting season, and it stands to reason that the hunter's hut must be
All are empty.
At this time, dim light came from the window of the hut, and the person inside was definitely not an ordinary hunter - as for who he was, it remained to be discovered.
"You guys stand back and I'll go take a look." Dulan ordered.
"Wait a minute." Kate whispered, "Maybe there is a more secure way."
Dulan looked at her, the demon warlock's silver pupils were full of sincerity and confidence. He thought for a while and finally retreated with the others.
The group of people hid behind the branches of the trees and watched the strange lights coming from the hut in the distance. There was always an indescribable sense of crisis in their hearts.
"I have a strong feeling that the characters inside must be very dangerous." Kate calmed down and said to Duran: "But I can try to eavesdrop on their conversation."
Dulan was a little curious. He had never seen the abilities of demon warlocks. Demon warlocks can be roughly divided into two categories. One category is ordinary humans who can borrow the power of demons after signing a contract with demons in the abyss; and the other category
They are people who are born with demon blood. The ancestors of these people were once demons, so occasionally there will be a few people who have awakened the talent of demon blood among their descendants. Kate belongs to the latter. It is said that her blood is inherited from the Abyss Void.
The great lord of a certain level has the best potential and power. Unfortunately, the cost of awakening the bloodline is too high - Kate was in pain because her mother died from the whipping of a dragon lord, so she passively inspired
With demon blood, he became a demon warlock.
The blood of the devil gives her the ability to freely borrow the magic of the abyss. Obviously, the first person to die under Kate's spell was the brutal dragon lord.
Under the curious gazes of Duran and Tiepi, the silver-haired warlock straightened his slightly messy hair - Duran couldn't help but ask: "Is this also a necessary action before casting a spell?"
Kate rolled her eyes: "This is one of the innate skills of a girl, Dulan, you have to learn to be patient and wait."
Dulan touched his nose to show that he was patient.
A low chant came from Kate's mouth, which was also in Abyssal. Brooke's and Kate's accents were completely different. The former was fast and vague, while the latter was concise and clear. With only four phrases, Kate's spell had been completed.
"Second-level spell, [Devil's Ear]."
A ball of faint black air swirled back and forth in Kate's hand, eventually condensing into a uniquely shaped ear.
Kate pricked up the ear and handed it to Duran: "Put it against your ear and you can hear the conversation in the room."
Dulan's eyes widened: "Isn't this a bug? Darling, it's so magical..."
He really didn't know much about demon warlocks, and he accidentally blurted out all the terms on earth.
"What is a bug?" Kate frowned.
Du Lan quickly took the Devil's Ear, attached it to his ear, and said haha: "Nothing, nothing, it's just a spell with similar effects."
Kate was obviously not very satisfied with this answer, but when she saw Duran seriously began to eavesdrop on the conversations of people in the room, she suppressed the question for the time being.
The sound coming from the devil's ear was very vague, not just rustling, but also intermittent - this made Dulan miss China Mobile.
There were probably two people in the room, at least Dulan only heard their conversation. After listening for a while, his face gradually became heavy.
"Virus, virus, pathogen... seed..."
"Bring it to the great...Mother of Orser."
"Before the Harvest Festival Dance...the Big Pudding City begins..."
