Transcendent Noble

The dark forest is full of trees that have grown for hundreds or even thousands of years. The light is dim here, and the sun shines through the dense canopy so as to leave a few spots on the ground.

Due to the lack of sunlight, there are no shrubs on the forest floor. Corrupted litter and various fungi cover the ground, and no soil color can be seen.

In the last ages, humans’ exploration of the dark forest has never stopped, but the expeditions that go deep into the jungle rarely return safely. This is not because of the monster orcs in the forest and the endless poisons. Insect is a beast, but because of the dark, cold, damp, and corrupt environment combined with the same giant trees, the expedition team can't find a way home, and eventually get lost in the endless sea of ​​forests.

Over time, this reckless forest has become a forbidden area for mankind and a paradise for wild animals.

On the edge of the dark forest, there are a large number of wild boars, forest deer, white-headed apes, iguanas, anteaters, snakes and badgers, jackals, brindle cats and moonsaber leopards, and all kinds of them Among the birds, there are many ferocious species, and of course the stubborn orc monsters such as jackals, goblins and kobolds are also indispensable. However, the most frightening thing is the poison insects hidden under the fallen leaves. No one knows that they will emerge from there and give people a fatal blow.

A total of a dozen people walk through the forest. They wear leather armor hunting suits, carry crossbows and arrows, and the slight sound of long hard leather boots stepping on dead branches is also in this quiet forest. Appearing to be particularly harsh, the timid and cautious Lin Lu avoided the team from a distance, and the white-headed apes who liked to squat on the canopy and laugh at the hunters were also gone.

The sound of a big bird flapping its wings was heard in the air from "pu Lala".

A young hunter reacted quickly. He raised his hand to signal the team to stop, silently drew a sharp arrow, and put it on the bowstring.

The thick branches and leaves obscured the hunter's sight, and the canopy was dark green, and nothing was visible. However, when the big bird folded its wings and landed on the treetop, the young hunter, guided by the voice, dashed forward two steps, leaped high, and shot the sharp arrow in his hand toward the dark tree crown.

Along with the crackling of the branches, many leaves fell in the air, but the big bird was caught by the thicker branches and did not fall.

Another agile hunter climbed up to a 20-meter-high tree in twos and threes. When he slid down, he carried a big green bird in his hand.

The young hunter took the prey from his companion and said with joy: "Green Feather Heron! This is a rare delicacy." Then, he moved towards the team and shouted: "Victor, this is what you let Mine."

Victor shrugged, said: "Clifton, I didn't help you this time."

Clifton laughed and walked to Victor's side , Said affectionately: "Thanks to you, I learned to shoot blindly. I never thought that I could shoot prey with my ears only."

This is not an exaggeration. Victor seldom takes shots this time, but every time he takes shots, he has to gain. In a dimly lit environment, even Knight can hardly lock the prey hidden in the branches and leaves, but they will never escape Victor's sharp arrow. Those sensitive and noisy white-headed apes were shot and killed by Victor several times in a row, and then they avoided far. Otherwise, the hunting operation would have ended hastily.

Victor slightly smiled and did not speak. He can lock the target within 300 meters in a noisy and dark environment with his hearing. Even a mouse hiding in a hole cannot hide from Victor's perception. Not only is there a reason for the bloodline innate talent, but the X-3's super resolution ability is also Very important factor. This amazing shooting technique also aroused Clifton's interest, and he constantly tried blind shooting techniques under the guidance of Victor.

In this way, Victor guided the hunting team to go deeper. They had been walking in the dark forest for three days unconsciously, and they were getting closer and closer to Victor's destination.

"Victor, we have been out for three days, so let’s go back. I don’t want the Schultz Knights to come in with battallion men and horses to find us. When the time comes, they are in the forest. It's not good to get lost." Clifton threw the prey to his rebel Knight, and at the same time made a suggestion to return.

Clifton loves hunting, and hunting has also brought him closer to Victor, but he has not forgotten his mission. If it weren’t for learning blind shooting, they would have returned to Thornthorn Manor as agreed. NS.

"It's really time to go back." Victor nodded, said: "Then let's go back to the camp to clean up, eat something and set off." Victor asked the warrior of the empty-handed ruling: "Master Soloto , What’s your opinion?"

"Whatever." Solotto said irresponsibly.

The three leaders agreed, and the team switched directions and walked back.

Two quarters later, the team arrived at the preset camp. There are more than a dozen people staying behind in the camp. They have raised a bonfire and are busy dealing with all kinds of prey.

Clifton walked to the campfire and complained: "The dark forest is too humid. If we hadn't prepared oil and wood in advance, I'm afraid it would be troublesome to even start a fire. This is only three. God, I think I'm covered with mushrooms."

"I really like it here." Victor murmured.

There was a smell of corruption everywhere in the camp, and Victor still took a deep breath. From the moment he stepped into this forest, Victor found that his perception had become extremely keen, and his mood was happy. He could even feel the bloodline throbbing, and as he went deeper into the dark forest, the more this feeling became. It's getting more and more obvious.

"This is related to your Moon Elf bloodline." Ruling warrior Solotto came over with two tree iguanas and said: "Elves are the children of nature. The strong places of Life Aura can easily cause elves. The resonance of bloodline. In the dark forest, do you feel that your low-light vision is much better than other places."

Seeing Victor’s surprised frowned, Solotto Lightly said: "Don’t be surprised, I’m here Ivory castle monastery has studied for 7 years. The knowledge there is not lost to the silver tower."

"Master, you were born in the ivory castle? That is the Place of Origin of the silver tower." Clifton With awe.

The Ivory Castle Monastery is the first of the three churches’ three monasteries. Only elites in the priest are eligible to go to the Ivory Castle for further study. Rumor has it that there are countless collections of knowledge and secrets, including classics from the Chosen One era. The founder of the tower, Arya, lived in the ivory castle for a long time by chance, so the ivory castle can be said to be the Place of Origin of the silver tower.

Soloto studied at the Ivory Castle, and it is not surprising that he understands the dark vision of the moon elf. Victor nodded said: "It has been strengthened by 10%."

"Master, I have never felt this way in the forest of Centaur Hills. Is the natural atmosphere of the dark forest stronger than other forests?" Victor Shinobu Do not continue to ask.

"It's not the natural breath, it's Life Aura, or the Void Water Element. But I am not Knight, and I can't directly sense the changes of the void element." Solotto corrected Victor's wording and looked towards Clifton.

Clifton waved his hand repeatedly and said, "Don't look at me. I am not a Great Knight who communicates internally and externally, and I can't perceive the void elements of the outside world."

"We all There is no way to perceive the Void Water Element, but many details confirm that this forest is very weird." Solotto was nodded, throwing two tree iguanas by the fire and said: "Have you noticed the difference between these two tree iguanas? ?"

"One big and one small, one male and one female, judging from the lines on the tail, the older one is two years old, and the young one is four years old..." Clay Foughton frowned and grabbed the two tree iguanas in his hands to observe carefully. He suddenly jumped up and shouted, "That's not right! This is unreasonable!"

"What's the matter?" Victor said. Asked misty.

"Victor, the longer the lifespan of the tree iguana, the larger the head, and the individual of the female iguana is much larger than the male iguana." Clifton explained to the side: "But but The two tree iguanas are just the opposite." At this point, Clifton gestured to a 1.1-meter-long male iguana, shook his head and exclaimed: "To be honest, I have never seen such a big male iguana."

Soloto interface said: "This small female iguana was captured in the camp yesterday, and this large male iguana was captured in this camp. In other words, the more Going deeper into the forest, the faster the iguana grows and the larger its size. This shows that the void Water Element in the dark forest is extremely unevenly distributed. This is by no means a normal phenomenon!"

"You Look again." Solotto walked to the giant tree next to the camp, pointed to the cross scratch on the trunk, and said: "This is the mark we left on the trunk. In just one day, it has grown like this. Now."

Victor found that the edge of the cross scratch on the trunk was much thinner than yesterday, and the bark on the edge of the scratch was obviously healing.

"At this healing rate, at most five days later, there will be no traces on the bark, and there will be no connection scars. It is no wonder that Knight squad will be lost in the dark forest." Victor nodded said.

"Let's get out of this ghost place." Clifton said quickly.

"Don't worry, the peculiar phenomenon of the dark forest has long been recorded. I just verified it myself." Solotto laughed and said: "With the Wind Travel shooter here, we won't get lost. "

"That's true." Clifton relaxed, turning around and shouting to the people in the camp: "Call all the guard posts outside, count the number of people, and we will return in a while."

When Victor and Clifton planned to hunt in the dark forest, they were strongly opposed by Cruther Schultz Knight. Cruiser Knight told Victor that the dark forest is as weird and unpredictable as a maze. It is difficult for humans to tell the direction in the jungle. It is very dangerous to enter the dark forest rashly. Victor said that they only hunt on the edge of the forest and will never get lost. Then, Victor climbed up to the canopy more than twenty meters high and stood relaxedly on the thin branches. Cruther Knight was speechless.

Wind Travel archers with extraordinary vision can distinguish the straight line direction when standing on the tree canopy and looking far away. Of course, they are impossible to get lost in the forest. Cruther even believes that as long as Victor is there, they are fully capable of exploring the core area of ​​the dark forest. Cruther was originally planning to join the hunting squad, but was stunned by Clifton.

Clifton said that the dark forest is not the territory of Schultz Baron, and hunting is not fighting. Go What are so many people doing? In the end, it was Victor who made the round. He asks Cruther to take soldiers to station outside the forest. If there is an emergency in the hunting squad, he can also bring people to support in time. Cruther thought for a while and agreed, but Victor believed that he believed in the strength of the ruling warrior Solotto.

Finally, Clifton led 4 trainee Knights and 5 elite soldiers, Victor led Renault and 19 alchemy militias plus Soloto Master, a total of 32 people formed a hunting squad, and agreed to three Return to Thornthorn Manor within days. As for Sister Elina, one-eyed person Gru and Shak, and the remaining guards, Victor stayed in Thornsthorn Manor.

In the past three days, the hunting squad has captured a lot of prey, which is more cumbersome to handle. The alchemy militia tied up animal skins, roasted dried meat, buried the internal organs, selected beautiful feathers, and processed the heads of several prey. It was the spoils of war that Clifton specified to bring back to make specimens.

The alchemy militia is skillful and meticulous in handling prey, but the speed is not fast. After four quarters of hours, I finally got everything done. At this moment, there was a very slight movement in the depths of the forest.

Here comes!

Victor was overjoyed, but there was a vigilant look on his face, "There is movement! Coming here!"

Soloto stood up immediately, his ears moved , Frowned and said: "The speed is so fast! Everyone is on alert!"

"It seems to be the running sound of a wild wolf." A moment later, Clifton also heard the noise in the jungle. He said with a smile: "There was still prey delivered to the door before I left. Bring my hunting bow, I closed my eyes and shot an arrow, it is good luck if I miss it."

Clifton closed Close your eyes, open your bow and draw the arrow, and the arrow points straight to the direction of the sound. The sound of the beast's claws stepping on the dead branches became louder and louder, until it was clearly audible that when the wild beast broke into the hunting bow range, Clifton shot out with an arrow.

Without hearing the expected wailing and sharp arrows penetrating the flesh, Clifton sighed and opened his eyes. His pupils instantly shrank to the size of a needle.

"Ferocious wolf!"
