As dusk approaches, the mountain forest gradually becomes dark, and the dim light shines slantingly into people's eyes, bringing a deep sense of twilight. The wind also becomes cold, whistling through the bleak forest, giving people a sense of gloom.
feeling.
Occasionally, I looked up, and through the gaps between the branches and leaves, I could see an orange-red fireball slowly sinking, half of its shadow swallowed up by the outline of the mountains. The residual light spread like a tide, soaking the forest, making the endless drowsiness.
, is a rare sight for people who have been trapped in city cages for a long time. Even in the city of Rustin, which lives in harmony with nature, such a pure and natural sunset scene will never be seen.
As the sun sets in the west, night falls quietly. It will take some time for the silver moon to reach the dawn. Before that, the world is in a dark stage, especially in the mountains covered by dense forests. If it weren't for the trees,
The roots, bluestones and luminous moss on the cliff lit up, releasing weak fluorescence, making it difficult for travelers to see what existed within one meter in front of them.
A night like this is obviously not suitable for moving forward. Moreover, many ferocious beasts are nocturnal. For them, night only symbolizes the beginning of the hunting period. In the dark, their sharp eyes are as sharp as swords, keenly catching all kinds of wind and grass.
The ears and the claws that move silently are simply born for killing.
Ringer didn't want to use his own body to test how sharp the hunter's claws were, so when night fell, he took his companions to find a temporary resting place nearby, and finally found a leeward cliff where the
Several tall and sturdy wild oak trees are arranged in a triangular shape to surround a flat open space. The lush branches and leaves block the incoming cold wind. As a temporary residence for travelers to avoid the dark night, it is already the most suitable choice.<
/p>
A few hundred years ago, you might have been able to find campsites left by adventurers or hunting cabins left behind by hunters in the woods, but now they have all rotted into disrepair, submerged by the green sea of vines and shrubs, or even
It has become a lair for some wild beasts. This seems to mean that in the Saussen Mountains, civilization will be assimilated by nature and become its guardian.
Ringer placed his backpack at the root of the tree, picked up some dead branches and leaves nearby, gathered them in the center of the open space, then took out the matches he carried with him and began to try to make a fire. In the wilderness era, fire was a symbol of civilization and brought survival.
The indispensable heat is also to drive away the beasts peeping in the forest, so that the flying sparks can burn into the depths of their twinkling eyes.
The little fairy Semi flew around a few wild oak trees, patting their trunks like a seasoned lumberjack, then nodded with satisfaction, the butterfly wings behind her shed bursts of dreamy light spots, and shouted softly:
"Fairy magic——"
"Which you want, strange changes!"
As the voice fell, under the power of magical fairy magic, the three ordinary wild oak trees instantly underwent strange changes: their branches began to elongate, stretching like giant arms, and finally connected with each other.
, the branches and leaves above are tightly entwined, forming a circle around the open space; the vines clinging to the branches also grow at an alarming speed, hanging down to the ground in the blink of an eye, firmly embedded in the soft soil, like a wall
It generally closes the open space in the middle, forming a rather solid shelter.
The tree canopy above seems to have become more lush, firmly blocking the sky above the open space. Even if it rains, there is no need to worry about rainwater falling in and wetting the warm fallen leaves on the ground.
"Whoops!"
Ringer finally lit a cluster of flames, like a red star lighting up in the forest. He carefully leaned over and blew gently with his mouth, allowing the flames to spread among the dry branches and leaves, gradually forming a bright cloud.
In the bonfire, when the branches and leaves crackle and burn, the flames flicker and golden-red sparks fly, bringing warmth and light to travelers in the dark.
Metien gathered the fallen leaves at the roots of the tree, compacted them carefully, and then spread them with blankets to make a simple bedding. When you sleep at night, you will definitely be warmer than sleeping on the bed; Ringer took a few of the right shape.
The tree branches were made into a stand, and the water carefully prepared by Master Shelia was poured into the pot he carried with him, and he was placed over the fire to heat it; while Saint Shelia led the lamb and searched for acorns that had not yet rotted on the land covered with fallen leaves.
, when the lamb poked out a lamb from the ground, Saint Xalia would immediately put it away and tell it to wash it before eating it, completely ignoring its sad eyes... The simple camp was instantly filled with homely things.
A sense of warmth.
"Hoo!"
Xie Mi wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the canopy dome and vine wall he had created with his own eyes with great pride, and said happily: "Great, it really worked! Although my eldest sister taught me magic.
I have mentioned similar examples before, but this is my first time trying it!"
Alice, who watched the entire construction process, curiously asked: "What will happen if it doesn't succeed?"
"Huh?" Xie Mi hesitated: "I'm not sure. Maybe these oak trees will turn into tree spirits and attack us?"
"You guy!"
Alice was extremely angry. It was just a matter of applying buffs to the enemies to forcefully increase the difficulty of the battle. You actually wanted to use wild monsters in the safe area. You are still a human being: "Don't let me use unskilled magic at will, you bastard!"

"Isn't this a success? Alice, you are too fussy, hey?"
"There's no point in being cute!"
"Wow, Alice is going crazy, Meridian, please save me!"
……
Different from the tranquility of the night in the mountains and forests, the dinner at the camp was carried out in a particularly noisy state. It was not until Linge couldn't bear it anymore and gave the troublemakers a warning look that they stopped and sat around the campfire honestly.
While eating.
After dinner, Ringer’s original intention was for everyone to take a rest early and prepare for tomorrow’s journey. However, Alice sternly stated that she still had undeveloped games to complete and could not slack off like this, so she hid aside and tinkered with the game.
The plane left; Medien, encouraged by the little elf Semi, climbed up a nearby tree root, raised his head and looked out of the tree crown, trying to see the stars in the night sky.
It can be seen that the experience of traveling for the first time made them very excited. For a while, it was difficult to calm down. They even forgot that they were in a place where ferocious beasts and aliens were dormant, and the scales of order were secretly wandering.
The forest mountains are not the open wilderness on the outskirts of Rosting designed for tourists to enjoy outings. The dangers lurking here are like the silent tides in the darkness, which may engulf people at any time.
Speaking of the balance of order, a figure flashed in Linge's mind.
"What are you thinking about?" St. Xalia's voice suddenly came from behind. Linge turned around and met her golden eyes shining under the firelight. Although it was a question, there was no curiosity in her eyes.
, just with a natural calmness, as if I thought so in my heart, so I asked.
Ringer withdrew his gaze and stared at the bonfire in the open space: "I just want to understand something."
"What's the matter?" Saint Xia Liya gathered up her skirt and sat down next to him. Seeing this, the little sheep made a dissatisfied bleating sound. He probably felt that Linger was too ignorant, knowing that Saint Xia Liya wanted to warm himself up by the fire.
It's really hateful that he didn't give up his position.
"About the reason why the Balance of Order suddenly appeared in the Saussen Mountains."
The fire jumped in the young man's eyes, flashing and swaying, as if he had a will of his own: "In addition to eliminating aliens, cultists and unregulated magicians, they actually have another responsibility, which is... to eliminate
Those false religions who disobey the control of the "Religious Decree" and resist with force."
Including the Spiritual Prayer Society, seventeen religions believe in animism.
Coincidentally, Ringer just met a believer in animism yesterday.
