The whistle roared, and the Penrose Wizard Tower-Loop airship slowly rose.
The air flow stirred up by the arcane magic dragged the airship towards the west. In the lower cabin, Duke was lying on the sofa, his body almost completely wrapped by the sofa.
"Sir, what does Cuihai Valley look like?"
The girl assistant Mulali sat aside, holding her chin in her hands, raising her long eyelashes, full of fantasy about Cuihaigu and his party.
"I have never been to Cuihai Valley, but I heard that it is like an emerald green ocean in the valley. The trees are generally tens or hundreds of meters high, and the bottom of the valley is the bottomless seabed." Duke was also full of curiosity about Cuihai Valley.
Heart.
He had gone in and out of the forest near Snake Head Town before, but because he was far away from the spiritual spring, the forest was just an ordinary forest.
Trees over fifty meters tall are rare, let alone trees one hundred meters tall.
"Jiji!"
Xiao Dou was lying on the glass of the cabin, looking out of the porthole curiously and nervously. The earth stretched out to the far end like a picture scroll.
The little chicken was in Duke's air, crying out to come out.
However, Duke threatened to cut off the spiritual crystal rations and blocked it back. If the chicken really escaped, I'm afraid it would cause some trouble.
He made a contract with Xiaoji, and it’s useless if others snatch it away.
But for Arcane mages, the contracted elves also have important research value. If Penrose wants to use them for research, Duke will give them to them or not.
So just hide the chicks to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"Will we encounter the Black Jade Scorpion King? I heard that it is hiding in Cuihai Valley to recuperate." Mulali was imagining again.
"Who knows, but don't be afraid even if you encounter it, the instructor will give it a head-on blow." Duke was full of confidence in Penrose.
Although Penrose is only a third-level arcane mage, he is a card-making scholar.
I don’t know how many 3-ring arcane cards I have in my hand.
Under the indiscriminate bombardment, the power is not much worse than the strength of the Earth Arcana Mage's projection ring, and it is not difficult to defeat the 7-ring Black Jade Scorpion King.
Chatting with the beautiful girl, time passed quickly, and before I knew it, the Loop airship had passed Sheshou Town.
Continue heading west.
Until entering the vast forest ocean.
It is already early winter, and many trees in the originally lush and green virgin forest have begun to lose their leaves, making them look a little desolate.
In the forest, there are several very conspicuous wide passages.
These were safe passages created during the pioneering war, where trees were uprooted and spiritual beasts were slaughtered.
In order to prevent the invasion of spiritual beasts from outside, countless traps have been laid around the road.
At this time, you can see that groups of mercenaries are walking together on the safe passage and heading deep into the forest.
When they see airships flying overhead, these mercenaries will stop and point at the airships.
Duke had already sat up from the comfortable sofa chair, lying on the porthole with Kabuto, looking at the forest scene below.
Several safe passages are winding like giant insects, leaving huge gaps in the forest and spreading towards the mountains in the distance.
"It's spectacular, isn't it?" Assistant Vikas walked over, holding a red wine glass.
"Yes."
"Cuihai Valley is more spectacular than here."
"Have you been to Cuihai Valley, Guide Vikas?" Duke turned around.
"I've been there twice, once to inspect the mine of Xibit Ling Mining Company, and once to visit the spring."
"What does the spring look like?" Duke asked curiously.
Sheshou Town also has a medium-sized spiritual spring, but a large number of quasi-arcane and spiritual weapons have been built above the spring. Spiritual energy is continuously extracted from them to supply the life needs of the whole town. It is no longer possible to spy on the original appearance of the spiritual spring.<
/p>
The same is true for the spiritual spring in Shenjiao City. Once humans discover the spiritual spring, they must vigorously develop and utilize it.
It is impossible to keep it as it is.
Assistant Vikas briefly recalled it and said: "It was very dreamy, but also full of dangers. At that time, the spring of spirituality had not yet been sprinkled with 'spiritual powder', so I did not dare to get too close for fear of being drawn into the magical spiritual field.
produce negative consequences."
Spirit-fixing powder is a medicine whose main function is to stabilize the spirituality of the spiritual spring and break the magical spiritual field that shrouds the spiritual spring.
"What is a magic spiritual field?" Duke was even more confused.
"It's hard to say. In short, from a distance, the spiritual spring looks like an ordinary small lake. It's just that the lake water is composed of spiritual liquid gathered by spiritual beings, and abundant spiritual energy escapes outwards all the time... But when you get closer, you are
It’s very dangerous if the magical spiritual field is involved.”
Assistant Vikas summarized the words and continued: "You know the ancient spirits, which are the creatures in the spiritual spring, but in addition, there are more strange creatures that appear in the magical spiritual field.
I can't tell whether it is real or fake."
There was a pause.
He whispered: "But once you are entangled by these creatures, your body will have...unexplainable marks."
"Why is this?" Duke asked.
"I asked my mentor, and he told me that there are too many spiritual beings gathered in the spiritual spring, which can affect reality or even distort reality. In short, if you have the opportunity, you can experience it for yourself. I have never seen a magical spiritual field.
Taste."
Time flies while chatting.
The Loop has crossed the mountains ahead. Behind the mountains is the real destination of the pioneering war - Cuihai Valley.
At this time, the color of Cuihai Valley is not emerald green, and there is no sense of "sea".
Moreover, large areas of trees have been cut down, exposing open spaces one after another, as if there are more than a dozen patches of bald patches growing in the forest.
Even worse.
In the center of every bald open space, there is a short tower tens of meters high standing.
To say it is short is not because it is really short, but when compared with the surrounding trees that are often hundreds of meters high, these tower-like buildings appear to be very short.
There are a large number of mercenary camps around the short tower.
The Loop chose one of the bald open spaces, and the airship slowly deflated and landed in the open space in front of the short tower - another airship was already parked in this open space.
"We're here, let's get off the boat." Vikas helped him get up.
Duke followed with Mulali. The cabin he was in was a luxurious cabin where the Arcane Master rested, and there were ordinary cabins below for his entourage.
After getting off the airship, many people came out of the short tower to greet me.
Duke looked around. The towering trees in the distance were like a wall, enclosing everyone in it, which seemed very depressing.
He raised his eyes and looked at the short tower in front of him. There was a huge sign hanging on it: "No. 3 Mine Area of Cuihai Valley, Xibit Ling Mining Company."
This is the No. 3 mine of Xibit Company, and it is also a safety camp.
After the mercenary group entered the Cuihai Valley, they camped here, enjoying the protection of the Hibiti Company, and then went in and out of the towering woods to hunt.
"Your Excellency Penrose, welcome!" In the short tower greeting team, a handsome middle-aged man wearing an arcane mage's robe smiled and bowed.
Duke recognized his identity at a glance. He was Leo Weiss, a second-level arcane mage who had taken public classes at the Faling Society in Snake Head Town.
