Then, a group of six people went out from the side door and left the city of Anilao.
Because there are more tall and burly orcs, it will be a bit troublesome to travel by flying, and Wei Lisi is reluctant to let Xiaolongniang change her body to carry people. Originally, they planned to rent a carriage instead.
But who knew that after hearing this, Mr. Epnia even said that he didn't need it, and brought the girls to a dense forest on the outskirts of the city. With a few sharp whistles, he called out a head nearly ten meters long and three meters high. The burly earth dragon!
The earth dragon is a subspecies of the mythical giant dragon. It has part of the blood of the dragon. Strictly speaking, the unicorn beast that pulls a cart like the one that Wei Lisi often sees is also an earth dragon, but the blood concentration is too low to even pass the test. The standard of the line is not up to it.
A real earth dragon is at least a Tier 4 magical beast in adulthood, that is, the human earth level. It must have 20% dragon blood, but usually rarely exceeds 50%, otherwise it can be called a flying dragon or a pseudo-dragon.
Having said that, there are also powerful individuals in the earth dragon.
According to the records of the United Kingdom, there have been earth dragon kings who have reached the sixth level before, comparable to the powerhouses of the transcendent level.
Although there are many more earth dragons than real pure-blooded dragons, they cannot be seen casually on the street. Except for a small number that can be tamed, they generally live in the habitats of various monsters or in large forests.
Not to mention Epunia, which has reached the peak of Tier 4, which is the level of Sky Tier.
According to Mr. President, this is the partner he accidentally took in when he was walking in a helpless place as a [Wu Chi], and he made great contributions to accompany him in traveling all over the world, and he has a deep relationship.The reason why he was able to escape from [Huan Yun]'s hands back then was also due to this earth dragon.
After settling in the city of Anilao, it was naturally impossible for Epunia to bring such a behemoth into the city, so he let it, which was already human, live in the nearby forest and visit it regularly.
In the United Kingdom of Mankind, Wei Lisi has also seen a few earth dragons raised by her family, but none of them are as powerful as this one. It feels like it should have broken through to level 5 and become the lord of the earth dragon.
Sure enough, the mount of a legendary master would not be a mortal thing either.
Epunia thought that the rebellious old friend needed a good chat before he was willing to carry these strangers. , but I didn't expect things to go smoothly unexpectedly.
As soon as he conveyed his intention, the earth dragon immediately prostrated itself, and obediently let several girls climb up its broad back, feeling a little flattering.
Although the incident was quite unbelievable and shocked Epnia for a long time, Mr. Orc didn't say much in the end. After all, if they can't even deal with an unheard of earth dragon, what are these guys going to do to fight against [Southern Calamity]?
So, after everyone got on the back of the dragon, they began to move towards the destination Bolt Kingdom.
The Bolt Kingdom is another small country located further south of the Kewei Kingdom and bordering it. Its total land area is almost the same, but it is not a dependent country of the United Kingdom. Its location is already close to the central area of the extreme south lawless zone.
It is the most turbulent and chaotic place where chaos occurs frequently.
This country is also said to be one of the most frequently haunted areas of [South Disaster], and it can be said that it has suffered a lot.
The earth dragon's movement speed was quite fast, and its stamina was excellent. After running with all its strength, around the same night, Wei Lisi and her party arrived at the northern border of the Bolt Kingdom.
The Bolt Kingdom is very poor, even poorer than the Kewei Kingdom. Its population, military strength, and powerhouses are far inferior to those of the surrounding countries and forces. However, this weak country located in an unstoppable area close to the central area has survived for more than 200 years.
The reason is a bit funny.
It's not that they have any hole cards, it's just that every time [South Calamity] shows up, no matter which area they will move to in the future, it must start from the Bolt Kingdom at first.
No matter who occupies this area, he must succeed the Bolt Kingdom and endure the [Southern Disaster] that will inevitably occur every year. Therefore, those jackal-like forces avoid this poor and weak country with fertile soil, and have no plans to make a move at all.
It was a blessing in disguise.
They didn't choose to enter the local city, and they chose a relatively flat terrain to camp in the wild. As the guide and the only male, Epunia naturally went to hunt a few hares and pheasants around, and set up a bonfire to slowly roast them.
Wei Lisi and the others sat on the side, chatting about the follow-up plan while waiting.
"Epnia, you said that you can find [South Disaster] directly, do you have any clues?"
While twirling the stick with the flesh in his hand, the tall orc nodded silently.
"First of all, this year's situation is a bit abnormal. According to the past rules, [Southern Calamity] should have started to appear in the southern border of the Bolt Kingdom after the recovery of all things in spring, moving randomly around, but it is only the end of winter now. "
As he said that, he looked up at the bleak bare trees around him. Although Willis and others, including Epunia, were at least legendary powerhouses, the ordinary ambient temperature had little influence on them, but the difference between the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter in this world is not only the climate.
More importantly, it lies in the flow of magic power that circulates according to certain rules.
Many powerful monsters have a habit similar to hibernation. It is not because of the cold, but to reduce the consumption of their own magic power due to environmental factors. There are very complicated principles in it.
Thinking about [South Calamity], the situation is similar.
"Usually [Southern Calamity] will only wreak havoc for three months in spring every year. After that, it will gradually disappear, no one knows where it is going, and then reappear in the spring of the next year."
Epnia went on to explain.
"This year's anomaly is the only time in decades that I know of. Maybe it itself or something related to it has changed, but the reason is not important. The important thing is..."
"Maybe we can use this opportunity to explore the real reason why [Southern Calamity] is immortal, that is, its source."
As he said that, Mr. President set up the metal sign, took out a map from the storage props that he carried, and spread it on the stone beside him.
This is a large map covering the entire territory of the Lawless Zone, on which many arrow-shaped long lines are drawn with red pens.
Everyone cast their eyes curiously, and Epnia pointed his finger to the north of the map, like a cucumber that runs through a long and narrow country that is one-third of the length of the entire map from north to south.
He moved his finger to the end of the "cucumber".
"Here, the junction of the Kingdom of Kewei and the Kingdom of Bolt, is also where we are now."
Chapter 217: Chapter 22: The Missing Link (Add More)
The territory of the Bolt Kingdom is located just south of the Kewei Kingdom. It is an irregular spherical shape, with little difference in the north-south and east-west horizontal distances.
Epunia continued to move her finger, swipe to the south, approaching a large forest in the center of the entire map, and a large number of red arrows eventually pointed to this place.
"This is the Forest of Disaster, the largest primeval forest in the entire Bolt Kingdom, and even one of the best in the lawless zone. The degree of development is very low.
"And the reason for this name is because there are an exceptionally large number of [Disaster Beasts] in this forest, and many sighting reports of [South Calamity] happened near here."
"At the same time, this is a large confluence point of the earth's veins. Every spring, the magic tide here will blow out like a blowout. This is very important."
"Forest of Calamity..."
The Forest of Calamity, Wei Lisi had seen from the book "The World's Top [-] Unsolved Mysteries", was a dangerous area alongside the Forgotten Land, but it did not mention that it might be related to [Southern Calamity] relevance.
Willis noticed that there were very few cities and towns around the forest on the map, and even the capital of the Bolt Kingdom was in a particularly northern area, which was quite close to where they were now.
Nine times out of ten, it is just as Epnia said, because the [Southern Disaster] activities are extremely frequent here, in order to avoid the population distribution formed by the disaster as much as possible.
Mr. President continued to talk about his plan.
"Back then, some friends and I collected information everywhere, and after repeated deduction, we believed that there might be some secrets related to [Southern Disaster] hidden in this [Forest of Disaster], so we led the army to crusade."
The man paused for a moment, then raised his head to look at the young girls who were in a circle and listening carefully, their faces were serious.
"Do you know that when the strong men and I arrived at the Forest of Calamity, the latest sighting report of [South Calamity] was clearly somewhere in the east thousands of miles away from here, but [Magic Cloud] was there when we entered the forest? Not long after, they suddenly appeared, besieging and annihilating us all. The tens of thousands of troops who were waiting outside to fight against the evil beasts were all slaughtered."
"What do you think... this means?"
The girls looked at each other.
"Uh, is there more than one [Southern Disaster]? It left a defensive force here? After all, it was said before that [Magic Cloud] would split."
Edwina made the first guess.
"[Phantom Cloud] has some kind of long-distance and fast-moving means? Similar to... space teleportation?"
Renee, the younger sister of the Winged Sisters, deduced in this way, while Leila, who was more calm, took a deeper look.
"No matter how [Magic Cloud] returns to the Forest of Calamity, there should indeed be something important to it here, is that what Mr. Epnia means?"
The half-orc was noncommittal, and turned his gaze to Miss Priest and Miss Dragon who had been silent all this time.
"What do you two think?"
"law."
Xiaolongniang spat out two words indifferently, then lowered her head and continued to play with the barbecue without saying a word.
Wei Lisi groaned, adding her point of view.
"Since there is a [Phantom] in the name, I don't think it is aimless. Combined with your previous description, and the fact that few people have witnessed the movement of [Phantom Cloud], they can only see that it wreaks havoc and brings disaster..."
"Is it possible that [Phantom Cloud] is actually different from what we imagined and saw, but exists in a more special spatial dimension, which is similar to laws and cannot be described by common sense?"
"To put it more simply, it wasn't [Magic Cloud] that teleported over at the beginning, but where were you sent?"
This is just a superficial and far from perfect conjecture. Wei Lisi believes that it should be different from the actual situation, but it is enough as an entry point for the direction of thinking.
The reason why this kind of unconstrained conjecture is mainly because from the various characteristics of [Southern Calamity], Wei Lisi thinks of the runaway wraith that she met in the City of Valor, the Iris Flower Orphanage.
At that time, Lilia and the others couldn't find the location of the thing at all, so they could only be beaten passively on one side, until Fei Yanhua wounded it with a special move, and then showed its trace.
That's precisely because the body of the wraith at that time was actually in the special space where the soul was, a world that existed and was independent of the material space, similar to a parallel plane.
【Huanyun】This is certainly not the case, but it should be used as a reference.
"This……?"
As if suddenly inspired by something, Epunia's eyes widened, and it took a long time to come back to his senses. The admiration in the eyes of the black-haired girl obviously increased a little.
"...As expected of Ms. Willis, you can come up with such a wonderful idea? I just thought that some kind of incomprehensible law might be involved in it. What you said makes sense, no, it's simply It's a word that tells the truth!"
The tall half-orc stood up excitedly.
"That's right! That's right! Maybe that's the case! We all thought that the gray mist was [Illusory Cloud] itself, maybe it's still just a special means extended by it! So, even if the existence that existed back then wiped out [Disaster], it couldn't eradicate [Southern Calamity]!"
"Well……."
Wei Lisi waved her hand, motioning for this guy to sit down first.
"Don't be so excited, this is just a speculation that came from a flash of inspiration on my mind, and there is no evidence to support it. So, our goal is the forest of disasters, right?"
Mr. President, who finally calmed down his excitement, turned the barbecue on the fire again and nodded.
"Well, no matter what, the behavior of [Magic Cloud] traveling thousands of miles to appear in the Forest of Calamity was too abnormal. Even if the truth is indeed what Ms. Willis said, there must be something that it is particularly concerned about. Or something that must be protected."
"In addition, the flow direction of the earth veins also proves the problem. My idea is that if it is because the earth veins of the Forest of Calamity erupted earlier this year that the [Southern Calamity] appeared at the end of winter, it means that its base must be It's here."
"In this way, we don't need to look for [Huanyun] specifically, as long as we get in touch with the secrets in that forest, [South Calamity] will definitely appear in front of us."
"Well... if it goes well, it's naturally the best."
Wei Lisi responded with her mouth, but she always felt that something was still missing in her heart.
For example, why does [Southern Calamity] want to make trouble every year, just to satisfy the instinct of killing?
Could it actually have some hidden purpose?Such as plundering, absorbing energy, creating dependents through parasitism, or multiplying more of the same kind...etc.
Another point, Wei Lisi paid special attention to it from the beginning to the end.
[Four Plagues] Why didn't they enter the United Kingdom of Mankind?Is it really because of the agreement signed by the so-called creators? Then who created this natural disaster-like creature?
Do not understand, do not understand.
Knowing this is one of the reasons why Wei Lisi is willing to spend time and effort to slowly track and find [Southern Calamity].
After all, Miss Priest has never been resistant to interesting secrets and explorations.
Wei Lisi doesn't like greasy meat very much, after eating a few mouthfuls, she gave the rest of the barbecue to her pets.
Anyway, as a protoss, she doesn't particularly need the elements necessary for ordinary survival such as diet and sleep. The reason why she maintains this kind of work and rest is just to satisfy her appetite and to let herself still have the real feeling of living in the world.
The wild nights in the lawless zone are not safe, bandits and monsters like to haunt at night, but this is not a problem for Willis and her party.
Although Epunia said that he could keep watch outside, Willis directly used the invisible barrier covering the entire temporary camp to dissuade him, and went back to sleep in his tent honestly.
Chapter 218: Chapter 23: Every Eye Is an Enemy
After another day of traveling, the next afternoon, a group of six people had arrived at the edge of the forest called the Forest of Disaster.
I have to say that the helpless zone is really worthy of the word "impossible". Even with the majestic earth dragon of Epunia, Wei Lisi and others still encountered several attacks along the way.
Among them, there are bandits who have no vision to seek their own death, and there are also weird and fierce monsters who happen to encounter, and various methods of digging pits, ropes, and poisoning emerge in endlessly.
However, although it looks scary, it is actually just a piece of trash, not even an opponent above the earth level. This level does not even require the girls to take action. A certain Mr. President and his mount partner can easily solve it.
The only time it was a little weird was when a few people were resting in the teahouse on the official road at noon yesterday, a few luxuriously dressed idiots fell in love with the beauty of the girls, and they deliberately came up to find that kind of unsavory trouble, trying to mess around.
And the four guys who look like guards are not weak, each of them has a standard earth-level level, and one of them has reached the sky level. The kingdom can basically walk sideways.
No wonder it is so unscrupulous.
Then... those playboys were thrown out of the window one by one by Epnia, and the four guards ranging from the earth to the sky were all brought down by Leila with a spear, and they walked away. in the footsteps of their masters.
In the end, these guys were asked to pay for the loss of the store, and Epunia let them go.
Wei Lisi is not very angry, anyway, she has not been met, and since she traveled to another world as a woman, it is the first time for Miss Priest to encounter such a classic scene, which feels quite novel.
In a sense, this is also a proof of one's own charm... right?
It also conveniently stopped a certain dragon lady's plan to directly turn them into crumbs.
