Calamity Dance

Chapter 35 The Coniferous Forest at Night

It was already late at night when we arrived at Dongyang Vosges Volcano Park. If the navigation system hadn't said that it was about to land, the four people on board would not know where they had flown.

The Volcano Park has been routinely closed for the past two months as part of a routine afforestation plan.After the volcanic eruption, the sulfur all over the mountains gave birth to a blood-colored coniferous forest that is rare in the world, and these coniferous forests grow rapidly only in this season.

The sky is cloudy, and despite leaving the tropics, the late summer here is still terribly hot.The four-person team was already sweating profusely as soon as they stepped off the aircraft.The auto-piloted aircraft didn't know which mountain they landed on.

"Where to stay at night?" Xu Qingquan looked around with the light of the aircraft, except for the flat land where the aircraft parked, there were forests everywhere. "It's a tourist attraction anyway, so there must be a hotel or something?"

"The mountain has been closed for these two months, and the management department is also on annual leave. Doesn't the hotel lose money if there are no tourists? Why is it getting more and more stupid?" Orianna said with a smile, not out of blame for Xu Qingquan.

"Let me set up a tent. Although it's not too spacious, it's barely enough." Sanqianying said as she took out a tent from her schoolbag.

"Don't worry, I brought the replica of the sanctuary here, and I won't treat you badly!" Orianna raised her hand, and her slender fingers drew red silk threads in the air.The silk threads gradually converged to form a floating door.

Orianna pushed the door open, followed by the other three.Although the space inside is not as large as the Sanctuary of Ophiuchus or as gorgeously decorated, it still has three floors and many rooms. "I didn't bring the library, I guess you don't have time to read it these two days." Orianna turned her head and looked at the three people, "What should I do next?"

Before the words fell, Lin had already happily ran into the kitchen.

"I want to know, is the space like ours inside or outside our material world?" Xu Qingquan suddenly asked this question, which was also a temporary thought on his mind.When listening to Bai Yuan's talk about the mirror world, Xu Qingquan didn't understand it very well. In his understanding, what is in this real material world can be produced in that illusory world.But including the sanctuary and the current temporary residence, these substances do not seem to exist in the material world, so will there be in the mirror world?
"You asked a good question. To be honest, I don't know. But I can be sure that everything in this house really exists, it's just that the molecular gaps have been compressed a lot, so from the outside Very small." Orianna replied, she answered a little seriously this time, neither joking nor being clever.

"So, if we really fight with the people over there, it's useless to hide in such a room, right?"

"You kid thinks far enough! Of course it's useless. It would be better if it was the Snake Sanctuary, which has multiple layers of magic protection. Now this house, let alone magic protection, it is estimated that running a few wild boars from ancient times can save the house." It's overturned here! Don't try to run away when you fight!" Orianna slapped Xu Qingquan's head hard.

"I don't want to run away! If they have the same material as us, then they have at least the same ability or spell system. If they know everything about us, what are our chances of winning?" Xu Qingquan touched Touching the place on the head where Oriana hit just now, it felt a little burning pain.

Orianna didn't speak, just kept looking at Xu Qingquan.Xu Qingquan already had this kind of thinking in such a short period of time, which surprised Orianna.Originally, in Orianna's view, Xu Qingquan was just a revived experimental product, a half-way monk from Swahidden, a low-level mage with no talent at all... But after less than two weeks, he has already Start thinking from the essence of the world and plan from the perspective of the future.I don't know if this talent was buried because of the too ordinary life before, or because the power of this mysterious serum was greatly activated.

"Let's eat first. We probably won't meet the enemies from over there in a while. It's useless to think about it now." Oliana couldn't answer Xu Qingquan's question, she could only prevaricate.

"Having said that, the celebration is less than two months away. No matter what kind of conspiracy or tricks are involved, they will definitely show their fangs in these two months!" Xu Qingquan said very seriously.

Orianna naturally expected this, but if she didn't really see the enemy, all the predictions in her mind might be in vain.

"Come here! You can eat it! Crab soup, eel rice! Please enjoy!" Lin's voice came from the kitchen, along with the tempting aroma.

"Little Huoman is too good! This can be done!" Xu Qingquan couldn't help praising, and rushed into the restaurant.

"Little Fireman..." Orianna repeated what Xu Qingquan called Lin just now, "It's so interesting!"

After dinner, the four of them chatted for a while. After a whole day's travel, the three of them except Orianna were exhausted, so they went back to their rooms to rest.

Orianna remained in the dining room, thinking about the question Xu Qingquan had just raised.However, there is too little useful information on these issues for the current situation, and Rennes is unwilling to share more information for unknown reasons. Orianna's mood is constantly irritable, and she unconsciously lies on the dining table Fell asleep.

The coniferous forest, which is far away from the tropics, is much quieter than the Tyrande rainforest on summer nights because there are not many wild animals.Coupled with the protection during the forestation period, the night here is so quiet that you can even hear the sound of a heartbeat.

Orianna, who was sleeping, was awakened by a rustling sound outside the window.

She looked at the time, it was 02:30 in the middle of the night.Since the lights in the house were not turned off, Orianna was shaken for a moment when she opened her eyes, and she couldn't see the situation outside the window clearly for a while.

The rustling continued, and it sounded like footsteps were approaching.Orianna's nerves instantly became vigilant, and her drowsiness was gone.She reached out and turned off the lights in the dining room.Although the light inside the compressed room cannot be seen from the outside, turning off the lights allows her to observe the outside more easily.

The sound of footsteps seemed to be increasing gradually, and Orianna looked out through the window of the restaurant, and it seemed that several figures were approaching the aircraft they left outside on tiptoe.Orianna secretly thought that it was bad. Since she didn't use the aircraft frequently, she forgot to shrink the aircraft back after setting up the house, and it still parked outside.This goal is too obvious.

With the sparse moonlight shining through the dark clouds, Orianna seemed to see three or four figures.At this time, the defense of the house is weak, and three other people are still sleeping soundly. If they are besieged by the enemy at this time, the consequences will be disastrous!
Orianna felt that the matter was tricky, but she didn't have more time to think about it. She grabbed the robe next to her and simply put it on her body, strode out of the room, and lit the lantern in her hand.

"Who is it! Why are you sneaking outside our door in the middle of the night!" Orianna scolded loudly.Raising the voice is not for courage, but for the convenience of perceiving the propagation of sound waves in this humid air, to capture more enemy voices that may be ignored, and to find out the enemy's location.This trick only has the two constellations of Ophiuchus and Serpent, which is comparable to underwater sonar.

Although the night was too dark, Orianna recognized the number and location of the enemies through the blurred figures and the sound waves echoing back to her ears.Three in front and two behind.

When the people in the dark saw this person who appeared out of nowhere, they panicked for a while, and one of them even fell to the ground in fright.Coupled with this penetrating voice, these people have already dared not move.

"If there is no malice, please show up, let's come out and talk about something!" Orianna couldn't feel any malice from the few people hiding in the night, and she couldn't even feel their mana breath, so she relaxed her vigilance a little.

Under the illumination of the lights, several old people slowly appeared in the night.These people were hunched over, their facial skin looked extremely vicissitudes, even a little cracked, the corners of their mouths twitched unconsciously, their clothes were torn, like beggars.Orianna was taken aback by the looks of these people.

"Where were you just now...you came here so late, why are you here, ahem..." A person who looked like the leader asked Orianna.

"Oh, I was in the small tent under the aircraft just now, maybe you didn't see clearly. What's the matter?" Orianna quickly made up a small excuse, and by the way kept blurring the door behind her, and gradually faded out The light range of the lantern.She didn't want these people to see something that ordinary people couldn't understand.

"It should be me who asked you what's the matter... We have lived here for generations." Another person said.

Generations have lived here?Orianna was a little confused.Since the eruption of the Vosges volcano, it has been shrouded in volcanic ash for a long time, and the aborigines should have been resettled by the empire after the war.In addition, it has become a tourist attraction later on, and there shouldn't be any locals living here. "Excuse me, are you the staff of the volcano park here?" Orianna thought that was the only possibility.

"Bullshit Volcano Park, shit Tasha Empire! We are not their lackeys!" The leading old man suddenly became a little angry, coughing intermittently.

Seeing that they were emotional, Orianna didn't continue to mention the volcano park.But these old people did not rest at such a late hour, but went in and out of this mountain forest, which made her unable to understand.

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience. We're not tourists, we just came out to find something. Where is your village? It's too late now, I think we can visit tomorrow." Orianna said gently.

"What are you looking for? Apart from Shanfeng, is there anything else you want to get here?"

"There are our things in the Vosges crater, now go and see if it's still there." Oliana didn't want to lie, but if she mentioned tourism and mountaineering, they might be dissatisfied.

When the old people heard the word crater, their expressions changed drastically, and they tried their best to straighten their backs and look at Orianna.

"It's too late. Let's go back first. If you go up the mountain from here, you can see our village, which is at the foot of the mountain." After the few old people finished speaking, they turned away slowly and disappeared into the night.

Orianna was at a loss. Each of these old people looked like they were seriously ill, and they looked extremely painful. If they were really aboriginals, then how the thousands of years of life lasted is also a mystery.

Because she was unfamiliar with the surrounding terrain and the sky was too dark, Orianna returned to the house after confirming that several people had left.She decided to go to the village to take a look tomorrow, if it was really the way the old man said.
