The third day into the wild highlands.
In the past three days, Allen's team continued to deepen into this highland covered by virgin forest. At first, everyone was shocked by the vastness and vicissitudes of the highland forest. But as the journey continues, almost all images are repeated every day. Takasugi, ground moss, cliffs, cracks, plus the sultry air here. So even Regis, the most active, became silent after three days.
Occasionally, one or two dangerous species that do not have long eyes pop out of the forest, and they become a rare spice in a boring journey. Often they will become the target of Regis's sword practice, or they will be slaughtered by Belmod who explores the way, and will eventually become a local-style barbecue and fall into the stomach of everyone.
Edward's doubts that day became a reality, because many years have passed, although the map obtained from the fraud box barely shows that the base is located in the wild highlands. But time has passed so long, and the landform has changed. Many landmarks marked on maps are now hard to find. The team spent three days in the forest, but in fact they only walked less than half of the distance according to the map.
On the fifth day, even Allen doubted whether he could find the base smoothly. He plans to look for a few more days, if he can't find it, he can only return to Storm City.
At noon that day, everyone came out of a jungle. The foreground object suddenly opened up, and in their field of vision was a quiet lake, the size of a football field. The afternoon sun shines on the turquoise lake, and the calm lake surface is like an emerald with hidden golden threads. Scattered green algae float on the lake, and some curved tree trunks can be seen near the lake shore, which are shaped like arch bridges on the lake. Some fishes with silver scales all over their bodies passed downstream from the tree bridge. They were in groups of three or five, staying or swimming leisurely on the lake.
On the other side of the lake is the foot of the mountain. The steep cliffs are tens of meters high, forming a landform like a fault.
This kind of terrain is very common in wild highlands. They form a complex obstructive landform, making entering and exiting the highlands a very difficult task.
Everyone stopped by the lake, Lucy took out the map in distress, and groaned: "Oh my God, this shouldn’t be a lake. According to the map, it’s already very close to the base, and you can even pass some The exhaust pipe enters the base."
"There is no way, after all, it was all years ago. It is not surprising that the landform has changed, but since the map points to this, we might as well take a look at the lake after a rest." Allen Said.
Edward reminded him: "I don't have any diving tools."
The Tang brothers looked at each other and stood up and said: "We have some experience in diving. Even if we don’t have tools, we can dive 20 meters below the water. If necessary, let us go down. Explore it."
Allen** head said: "This is the best way, let's take a rest, everyone is tired after walking all morning."
So everyone rested by the lake, Regis even went to the lake to fish with bare hands, looking childish. Belmode left the shore of the lake and watched nearby. He didn't need to watch the forest all the time like an ordinary sentry. Belmode found a dense old tree and drilled into the canopy. He hid in a tree to enjoy the coolness while listening to the wind and grass nearby with ears instead of eyes.
I originally thought that in this virgin forest, there would be almost no people other than wild beasts. Unexpectedly, not long after closing his eyes, Belmode heard a strange noise. That is the sound made by the regular flicking of the blades of grass, forming such a sound, indicating that someone is constantly passing by. He frowned, slipped quietly from the tree canopy, and sneaked silently towards the sound source with a small pace.
After arriving at a group of ferns, Belmode carefully squinted his eyes to avoid the reflection of his eyes from attracting the other's attention. Then looking through the gap of the fern, you can see several men and women dressed as adventurers, resting on the grass in front.
A young man is holding a map, comparing the terrain, and then pointing towards the lake where Allen and his party are located: "The ruins should be there."
"This time we are really lucky. We didn't expect that the alien had a map of ancient ruins, and I don't know what treasures are waiting for us." said a woman with fiery red hair, her dress very revealing (.2. ). The light armor wrapped around the body only covers two important places of the chest and waist, and large areas of white skin are exposed in other places. There is a pair of crossed short swords behind the woman's waist. Judging from her outfit, this woman should be good at speed and explosive fighting style.
"Maybe there is no treasure, but there are a lot of monsters." Sitting next to the woman, a pair of triangular eyes kept looking at the woman's **** and said: "Remember what we heard in the tavern last time. No?"
"You mean Bai Xiao?" said a man leaning on a tree trunk with his head resting on his hands. There was a string of fire thunder hanging on his body, and a fire/gun wrapped around a cloth strip was placed next to him. It seemed that he should be a fireman who is good at remote support.
"They found the cemetery of the Blood King, but they did not return. But everyone knows where the cemetery of the blood king is. The ancient cemetery has been occupied by those dirty blood-sucking aliens. Bai Xiao, they have Everyone knows how many catties are. They don't look for helpers, they think about the benefits, and they deserve it when they die." It was the last of the group of people who spoke, that was a tall man. Wearing a worn/flowered plate armor, a dark red two-handed giant sword is inserted beside him. The hilt of the giant sword is decorated with a skeleton skull, which looks eerie and terrifying.
"With the Boss of Jiana, there is nothing to be afraid of even if the place we are going to is the cemetery of the Blood King." The man looking at the map flattered, suddenly he turned around as if he felt something. A flash of lightning emerged from his hand and instantly shot behind the fern cluster where Belmode was hiding. But apart from the fern leaves flying in the air, only a few flying birds were alarmed.
The man called Garner raised his head: "What are you doing, Buzz?"
"It's nothing, I seemed to be under surveillance just now."
"Surveillance?" The hot-dressed woman laughed: "That's the hell, this is a wild highland, a place where birds don't shit. There will be anyone here besides us, don't be stupid."
"You're right, Hongye." Buzz laughed dryly, his eyes swallowed over the pair of peaks.
Beside the quiet lake, the atmosphere became a little tense, because Belmode brought information about other adventurers.
"In other words, their destination is also here?" Allen frowned: "Then there will be trouble. The Wild Highlands are not our territory. Maybe they are asked to leave, and they won't agree. Of."
"In other words, there is only one way left to fight?" Regis jumped up, holding the iron sword and smiling.
"Don't get excited suddenly."
"What, how can you not be excited, I'm almost suffocated, and you don't fight with me."
"I don't want to waste my energy on this kind of thing." Allen raised the knife case and said: "That's it, we are here waiting for them. Let's get in touch first and ask them to leave if it makes sense. , And then compensate them with a sum of money afterwards. If it doesn’t make sense, then they can only be expelled by force, and the base must not be given to others."
Belmod smiled and said: "So, is it just to hit the ground, or to kill?"
"It depends on their attitude."
"You are really kind."
After a while, the blades of grass swayed, and I got out of the woods first, and it was Bath who led the way all the way to the lake. He said excitedly: "Look, it's here. The entrance to the ancient ruins is under the lake. We are so lucky that we can find the entrance and the ruins are ours."
"Don't be too happy, this lake looks very deep, who of you can dive?" The adventurer's leader Jiana then walked out. He carried a huge sword and frowned at the **** woman Hongye next to him.
Hong Ye shook his head and said: "Don't look at me, I can't even swim, let alone diving."
"It seems that I was the only one who was on it."
Fatty's voice made everyone's eyes fall on him. He straightened his chest and said: "Why, don't I get fat so I can't dive anymore?"
"It's not that. It's just that Drew, you can dive in this sex. It's really surprising to me." Garner said, "Then go down and take a look."
"Okay." Fatty Drew began to undress. Just after taking off his shirt, a black lightning flashed under his feet and stopped in front of him.
It was a blackened flying knife, and the adventurers were all on alert when they saw this flying knife.
"Please wait a moment."
Allen and others appeared from the other side of the lake, and the adventurers suddenly became serious when they saw their faces. Buzz whispered: "Look, I said someone is watching us. Damn, I can hide it from me. The guy who watches us is very difficult to deal with."
Garner's gaze swept over Allen's side, and he said solemnly: "None of them is easy to deal with, only the twins look a little weaker. Damn, how come they hit their peers in this place."
Apparently, they regarded Allen as an adventurer.
Stopped a dozen meters away from the Garner side, Allen waved his hand and said: "First of all, I want to say that I don't want to cause unnecessary fighting, so please restrain yourself. Secondly, you should It is also for a certain ruin. For you, perhaps the greatest value of the ruins is to unearth valuable treasures. But for us, it is of greater significance."
"So I want to discuss with you, if you are willing to take the initiative to withdraw, I can pay you a compensation. How do you think?"
