The long caravan walks through the dark forest.

The trees on both sides of the road are tall and straight, all of them are more than 30 to 40 meters in length, but they can be embraced by four people. Coupled with the deep leaves of the forest, the huge umbrella cover extends over the road, leaving only a thin white line above the head.

It's obviously day, but the road between the forests is already dark. You need to light a torch to see everything around you.

caravan is like walking through a gloomy, silent corridor. Except for the sound of wheels and the vibration of the beast striding forward, other sounds can no longer be heard around.

Silent!

Very silent!

You can't hear the chirping bird sounds of ordinary forests, nor can you see the jungle creature such as hare and coyote running around.

As soon as you step into the Black Forest, Grim can clearly feel that the weak magic energy is flowing slowly in the forest. The activity of elementium is also one or two times higher than outside the forest!

"Chip, collect the environmental data in the Black Forest!" Grim thought about it and couldn't help but give the chip an order.

*Beep*, the mission has been established ... Environmental data is continuously being collected ... "

Seriously speaking, the area occupied by Adept Continent Black Forest is as high as 60%, while the living space occupied by Sandtalin and the three major adept organizations together is only 40% of the total area of ​​Adept Continent.

This also means that there is still a lot of unexplored land in Adept Continent, and it is these endless black forests and vast wild grasslands that stop humankind from moving forward.

With the huge volume of Adept World and the almost perfect high-magic environment, 60% of the black forest and wild grassland occupying 60% of the area, even if only one thousandth of creature is infected with magic creature, the amount of terror formed It is enough to make ordinary Adept discouraged.

So if Adept want to expand their borders, they need to keep deep into the Black Forest.

Fall trees, level roads, establish settlements, and set up Adept Tower to protect ...

This process of colonization has never been smooth!

Each step of the human living area into the Black Forest will attract powerful jungle creature, horror monster, Variation Monster, and Powerful which pollutes creature.

If it is only sporadic invasion of monster, it is good to say that it will only cause a small area of ​​personnel and other resources to be lost. But if a large-scale monster ethnic group counterattacks, or an Powerful monster drives the beast tide, the newly established settlements may fall.

In the history of Adept Continent colonization, there have been numerous large-scale raids on the Black Forest monster. Every time it happens, it means that thousands of ordinary people who have just moved into the settlements have become victims of the two parties. The whole newly colonized area may only be survived by Adept Tower, everything else will be razed to the ground.

So every step forward in human living space requires such complicated pulling force many times, in order to exhaust the patience and quantity of the forest monster, forcing them to transfer their territory to a deeper forest.

Therefore, a huge territory covering an area of ​​one hundred miles, from the beginning of colonization to the stability of ordinary people to thrive in it, usually needs to go through many iterations, it takes decades to be possible. In this process, it is common to consume thousands of people and double-digit Adept lives.

So every Adept that leads the followers and slaves to **** the living space from the Black Forest is a true strong enough to be remembered by future generations forever!

For ordinary people, the Black Forest represents mystery, evil and power, and it also represents death!

But for Adept , here is the biggest treasure trove of resources!

magical plant growing everywhere, a wide variety of jungle creature, rich metal reserves, and the mysterious and powerful monster ...

Many rare resources that have disappeared in the Adept world can be found deep in the Black Forest.

So in addition to plane conquest, the three or five groups of Adept teams went deep into the Black Forest to explore the Ancient ruins and hunt Demon Hunter objects, which also became the fastest and most convenient way for them to gather resources.

The conditions of prerequisite required by plane conquest are too harsh, not all Adept can be reached, so exploring the Black Forest has become their best choice for going out and collecting resources.

Grim raised the curtain and looked at the dark forest in the distance.

Even with his eyesight, it is difficult and far away without using Witchcraft. After all, the magic energy here is too active, and it is also a huge interference for the Spirit perception of Adept !

Grim raised the curtain a little, and on a tall tree not far from caravan, he saw an owl with black feathers. The other side was staring at the huge eyes to monitor the movement around the forest, and from time to time made a strange cooing noise to caravan.

"That's the owl supported by Trainee Sorceresses." Alice got to the side of Grim and looked at the edge of the window boringly: "Some harmless little animals can act as their eyes."

"Why not choose the more powerful small-type monster?" Grim asked in confusion.

"Cut ..." Alice could not help but rolled his eyes: "Do you think everyone is the same as you, and never worry about Magic Crystal? They are poor, they can't afford it at all, and they can't afford those monster ! "

"What are the benefits of supporting them?"

"Usually acting as eyes and ears, it is a good flying sentry. Moreover, the owls who have been cast can also have a weak ability to see through stealth, and they are most suitable to serve as guards. Of course, more importantly, supporting them can't constitute Spiritual Force for Trainee Sorceress Too much pressure. "

"So what types of pets does Sorceresses have?"

"The most commonly used is black cats, flower snakes, and red bat crows. Black cats can bring concealment and Agility to the host. Flower snakes have infrared sensing, and red bats will add light weight and sonic positioning. The crow owns Dark Vision ... In short, Sorceresses likes to turn himself into these messy things! "

"What about you? Why have I never seen your pet?"

"Hmm ..." Alice snorted: "I have always wanted to catch a hellhound, but unfortunately it has never been successful!"

"Hell Hound?" Upon hearing this name, a strange abyss creature that resembles a porcupine in shape, with black, red, hard, and thick skin, automatically emerges in Grim's mind.

This kind of ugly abyss creature, which is extremely ugly in all aspects, turned out to be the first choice of Magic Pet that Alice dreamed of, which made Grim speechless.

"Why?" Grim couldn't help asking.

"Therefore, a Sorceress once caught a Hellhound as Magic Pet, and has since acquired the ability of" magic blockade. "Hellhound can also provide the host with an Spiritual Force bonus, which is simply the best magic pet." Alice immediately talked with two bright eyes.

"But don't you think hellhounds are ugly and difficult to look at? And as far as I know, they are all smelly, and their bodies are full of the stench peculiar to the lower abyss creature!"

"Is it really smelly?" Alice's face changed, and he carefully asked Grim. When she got an affirmative answer, she couldn't help holding her little face frowning: "Then I stabbed it and covered it with spices, should I be able to cover its odor?"

Grim suck in a cold breath, can't help but worry about Magic Pet of Alice in the future.

…………

caravan moves slowly in the Black Forest.

When they left Ibes City for more than 30 miles, small-type animals can be seen in the dark forest along the way.

But there are alien mercenaries driving them out, the jungle beasts are not afraid to approach caravan, they only dare to growl a few distances, and then quietly dive back into the forest.

Although this road cannot be said to be crowded, but a dozen caravans are constantly shuttled, and they have almost driven the dangerous monster nearby. If the remaining ordinary beasts dare to approach caravan, they will become the food for mercenaries to fight teeth.

On the road, Trainee Sorceresses's 'Sentinel' is the busiest group.

They fly in the dense forests that humans ca n’t walk through, avoid those dangerous beasts and birds, and look for rare plants everywhere.

Once found, there will be three or two Trainee Sorceress rushing into the depths of the forest with a dozen mercenaries and picking up the rare plants found in the shortest time. And this will undoubtedly bring them a lot of income.

Of course, sometimes there are ferocious monster near the rare plants found, and this time is the time for several Sorceress in caravan to go out.

Half-way gains like this are not included in the caravan's account, but are private trophies belonging to Sorceresses. After such a trip, the personal gains of each team Sorceress far exceeded the reward given by the caravan, so these women will be so interested in this treasure hunt game and so excited.

It is just that the caravans cannot stop in order to wait for their treasure hunt, so the area they can search using Magic Pet is a small area within one or two ten miles on both sides of the forest road. No matter how far away, they don't have enough time to harvest, even if they do find it.

And after years and months of repeated searches, some valuable resources have been harvested. So a few Sorceress in caravan simply gave up this 'game' that consumed Spirit, and gave them to the Trainee Sorceress who came out to practice.

For these ‘poor’ Apprentices who are not eligible for family worship, even the ‘mosquito meat’ which is not worthy of some Sorceress adults is enough for them to eat a round belly, so they are even more happy!

So, in this seemingly slow, but fast-moving, caravan came to the first campsite in a long journey.

And at this time, it's just noon!
