Yuanshin, no one knows the harem better than me

It has not been maintained, and collapsed stone steps can be seen everywhere.

Not to mention ordinary freight caravans, even bold adventurers would be afraid to take a step into this bottomless abandoned tunnel.

Going deeper along the tunnel, the surrounding environment becomes darker and darker.

Don't be afraid of the long journey, just be afraid that you won't find the end.

Xia Tian also can't help muttering in the bottom of my heart.

This Sumeru must be hiding underground, right?Didn't you mean the rainforest landform?Why didn't I see a single green leaf!

It is different from going to Inazuma.

Inazuma can more or less imagine that Xia Tian really has no impression of Xu Mi.

Although I inquired about it temporarily, it is said that it is a city built on the rainforest, with many beautiful scenery and strange animals...

But when it comes to the rainforest, Xia Tian only thinks of snakes, rats, ants and jungle savages.

Think more broadly, that is the Amazon jungle, and then think of Brazil, and think of samba dancers with curvaceous figures and passion...

You can't blame Xia Tian for thinking about something wrong.

This journey in the tunnel is too boring. If you don't want to do something good, you will really think that you are on the way to hell.

Only by thinking about it in a distracted manner can we have expectations and longings for the extremely dark road ahead.

I don't know how long he has been walking, and the iron man will feel physically tired.

Eh--

He staggered and nearly tripped over something.

He rubbed out a fireball with his fingertips and illuminated the ground, only to find that it was a section of withered and yellow vines.

His eyes couldn't help being happy.

Along the way, it is full of gravel and dust, and finally there is a little emerald green scene!

Does it mean that the exit is coming soon?

The tired body instantly glows with new life, and Xia Tian quickens his pace.

Watch the boring scenery slowly change, see the lush moss covering the rock wall, and see the gravel under your feet replaced by potholes and short grass.

The air became clearer, the road became narrower, and dense bushes clustered on both sides, as if to block the road ahead.

Xia Tian overcame the thorns and thorns, and insisted on rushing out of a path.

cluster--

Finally broke out.

Without the sudden enlightenment of another village, it seems to have entered another world.

Look up.

The vines of the big trees are intertwined, as if covered with layers of large nets, very similar to the dark green seabed, giving people a sense of suffocation trapped in it.

The bright sunlight above the sky cannot pass through the shade of the umbrellas, and can only spread sporadic golden light through the gaps between the leaves.

The golden light shone on the shallow puddles, just like pieces of white jade crystal discs, shining brightly on the walls.

What a dreamy scene.

Xia Tian stood at the root of a giant tree, as if he had suddenly strayed into the kingdom of giants, everything around him seemed so uncoordinated.

In order to quickly confirm the location, Xia Tian stepped on the tree trunk and climbed to the top.

Having not seen the sun for a long time, it was a little dazzling for a while, and the scenery in front of him made the pupils stunned.

"Oh!"

Looking up, the green forest is endless.

Xia Tian can't wait to come to an imitation show of Tarzan of the Ape, howling and pulling vines to shuttle through the jungle... I have to pray that no one will see, otherwise I will be so ashamed that I will be autistic.

Judging from the scenery in sight, he should have arrived at Xumi, but looking around the distance, he did not find any cities or villages.

Where are you going?There is no way!

There are no signs, no clear roads, only some tree-lined trails that don't know whether they are roads, and they lead in different directions.

If this is the wrong choice, I don’t know how much the trip will be delayed.

At this time, the best choice is to look for the landmark building "Seven Heavens God Statue" that must be there first.

Ok?

The statue of the Seven Heavens was also hidden in the rainforest, and there was no trace of it for a while.

And when Xia Tian was looking for it, he found an unusual color hundreds of meters away on the left.

It is said that there is a little green among thousands of flowers, but now it is a little red among ten thousand green bushes.

A depression in the middle of greenery should be the coolest hotbed of flowers and plants, but it seems to have been washed and faded by bleach.

Midsummer turned rapidly into late autumn, and the thriving forest was almost completely withered, forming a very strong contrast with the vigorous vitality nearby.

Another strange ribbon-like scarlet swayed back and forth, connecting several frightening red flower buds.

Those buds, like devil gems in evil comics, are full of temptation and danger.

The closer they got, the worse the air was, full of the stench of rotting leaves, and the breath became turbid, and the distortion of space could even be seen with the naked eye.

Absolutely not normal.

What's even more weird is that this area where the vegetation is dead still is still spreading!

Being in the unknown, Xia Tian did not approach rashly, only standing on the edge of the abnormal area.

After waiting for a moment of astonishment, half of the body has already been submerged in it.

The skin begins to become dull, the vitality in the body is being lost, and the mental exhaustion is further increased.

But that's it, the human body is stronger than the trees and trees.

Xia Tian is very sure that it will not cause more damage to his body in the short term, so there is no need to panic.

But the surrounding plants may be...

If the abnormal phenomenon in the scene is not resolved quickly, and the area that devours plant life continues to spread, I am afraid that a large forest will be destroyed.

As a good youth in society, Xia Tian must of course contribute to the protection of the environment.

Well.

It may be because of being too hungry, coupled with the fact that not much vitality has been extracted, making Xia Tian's body a little sluggish.

My head is groggy, as if I have just entered the plateau and caused hypoxia, I have to get used to it first.

Just as he adjusted his breathing, a sharp yet gentle stop broke the silence of the jungle.

"Be careful! Please stand still and don't continue to approach the "dead zone"! "

Then a sharp arrow pierced the air.

rustling—

Arrows hit his feet, blocking his progress.

Xia Tian raised his eyes to search for the owner of the voice, and saw a beautiful figure moving in the forest, using the bow and arrow in his hand to shoot at those strange flower buds surrounded by scarlet aura.

... He is skilled at drawing the bow and his movements are handsome, but his accuracy in archery is not very good.

The impact is not big, just shoot a few more arrows.

Those red flower buds were pierced by arrows, and a large amount of turbid gas leaked out, and then merged into a stream in the center.

Where there is filth, there must be monsters breeding.

This scene has a heavy sense of déjà vu, much like Inazuma's purification rituals against the pollution of Shenzakura.

Not only is it a sense of sight, Xia Tian also felt a similar humiliating evil when setting foot in this strange area.

This corrupting evil energy not only affects the parts related to the earth veins, but even ordinary plants and animals are also affected.

Perhaps, Xumi's earth veins are being damaged more seriously.

Xia Tian didn't understand the reason, so he didn't take action for the time being, and first watched and wrote down the solution.

After the monster was wiped out, the girl dragged the swaying vines and gracefully landed in front of Xia Tian.

Shaggy grass green shoulder-length short hair, wearing a hairpin with a feather on the side.

The eyebrows are full of heroism, but the innocence in the light purple eyes cannot be hidden.

Slightly fat sleeves, from the upper arm to the wrist, connected to a pair of archer's gloves with the middle finger attached.

Wearing a short dress with armpits exposed, the straps of a brown sports bra with no youthful color can be seen from the side.

A light green shawl is wrapped around the neck, and a pair of long light yellow satin extends behind.

Such a dress is very suitable for living in the hot and humid rainforest, and can cope with various weather conditions.

The knee-high black socks are of different lengths. There are three small dark yellow pieces on the upper side of the right sock, and the upper end of the shorter left sock is fixed with a looped belt.

The feet are wearing a pair of fish mouth high-heeled boots, with a tongue and fleece design, and lovely toes exposed at the front, still stained with dew.

The dress is not very distinctive, nor is it good-looking, and it is far from being able to outshine the girl's agility and beauty.

And such an impressive girl is naturally a favored candidate.

A "Grass Element" God's Eye hangs on the left side of the waist.

Different from the greenish-brown style on the body, the pendant of the Eye of God is hung with two beautiful red ribbons.

When the ribbon is blown away by the wind, it looks like a pair of smart rabbit ears, which makes people inadvertently think of the hairband on Amber's head.

The girl patted her panting chest and smiled politely.

"Phew, you, are you alright?"

In the deep green forest, I met a green girl.

Full of fresh smiles, dispelling the remaining decay.

When you meet a local, you don’t have to worry about getting lost, and maybe you can get some useful information.

Xia Tian is really happy.

"It's okay, thank you for the reminder just now."

"You're welcome, it's just my duty... Are you from Liyue?"

While asking, the green-haired girl took out a pen and paper from her hip pocket and began to record.

From the looks of it, she is no ordinary adventurer.

Xia Tian told the truth: "Well, I am here to find a friend, and she has already gone to Sumeru City."

It can be seen from the eyes that this is a very deceitful...very naive girl.

Still feel a little natural?

"Yes, I'm sorry! I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Ke Lai, and I'm a ranger."

He touched his head apologetically, and muttered to himself: "When you meet a stranger, you should first inform yourself of your identity as a ranger...why do you keep forgetting!"

"Cole?!"

When Xia Tian heard this name, he couldn't help being surprised.

Ke Lai stared at her beautiful eyes: "What's the matter? You...know me?"

My own name is nothing special, what is there to be surprised about?

Have you heard of me?But I have no reputation!He didn't even pass the entrance exam of the Holy Order...

Due to official duties, Ke Lai needs to carefully look at Xia Tian's appearance.

With shallow cultural knowledge, she can't think of any adjectives, only knows that she looks good.

Such a good-looking boy, if he had known him before, he would definitely not forget it...

There is no impression at all in my mind.

"Do you know me?" Claire asked again.
