Stormrage Forest is so big that it is unimaginable. The entire forest is as big as an empire in the Noah Continent. After about a month's journey, they finally arrived at the legendary Moon Lake.
Across the mountain stream, a group of people were walking slowly in the woods. Against the backdrop of the tall trees, the people were as small as ants.
That was Platz's sanctuary team, a group of ten people. It had been a month since they were attacked by shadow wolves when they first entered Stormrage Forest. See you again a month later. Everyone has undergone great changes.
Everyone in the Platts team looked unkempt, and their clothes hadn't been washed for many days. They were tattered and exuded a pungent smell. The men had beards and the women Some of them didn't even comb their hair, and some had their hair tied up in a random knot. Even Dora, the most beautiful priest of the Holy Word, looked sloppy.
As an adventurer, these are very common. After a few months in the field, whoever comes back will look like a savage.
In the eyes of outsiders, the life of a mercenary is extremely romantic, eating meat and drinking heavily, teammates are full of trust, noble friendship, beautiful love, all interpreted one by one in the mountains, in the fields, and under the moonlight. Translation, bards wandering around, compiled these beautiful and poetic mercenary life into songs, and sang them everywhere.
Of course, mercenary life also has its romantic side. The afterglow of the setting sun, the reflection of the lake, the mirage in the desert, the aurora in the snow, and the beautiful scenery of nature make people yearn for it. It is far less romantic and beautiful than what outsiders see. The real life of mercenaries is full of boring, hardships and dangers. Not only do they have to face the threat of powerful alien beasts, but the temporary team is full of cunning, calculation, betrayal, and danger. betray.
Fortunately, these misfortunes did not fall on the Platts team. On the one hand, they are all from the Noah continent, and they naturally have to unite in this strange plane. There are countless people, who should be grouped, who should not be grouped, who should be trusted and who should not be trusted, he knows exactly what.
Over the past few days, they have worked together to kill many powerful beasts, including the huge Algiers war bear, the lightning flying in the air, the powerful four-winged dragon, etc. These sacred beasts have their own territories and are powerful It was terrifying, especially the battle with Lightning Rays. The heaven and earth fell apart. The sanctuary team was besieged by more than a dozen Lightning Rays. The chain lightning they jointly sent out completely burned a forest as big as a city into charcoal.
Even so, they came here like this. After experiencing the brutal battle, the expressions on their faces became more determined, and a tacit understanding between the teams also quietly grew.
After climbing over a big tree, Montegoth stretched out his hand to the female sword saint Millie who was behind her. Millie also stretched out her hand naturally, and the two of them worked together to climb over the big tree.
"Moon Lake is ahead!"
Shan Qiu wiped the sweat off his face and said, "The path I took is two days shorter than the original plan!"
Platts nodded. Naturally, he didn't know how many days the original planned journey would take, but at the moment he trusted these two simple and honest dwarf brothers who had only known each other for a few days.
"Then let's go!"
Hearing that the destination of the mission was coming soon, everyone had relaxed smiles on their faces, among them Dora said impatiently.
After turning a corner, the long-awaited Moon Lake appeared in front of everyone.
In an instant, the expressions on everyone's faces froze suddenly!
The calm lake water is like a mirror, reflecting the white clouds in the sky. The lake water is crystal clear, and a huge full moon hangs in the sky, emitting a shining brilliance.
"This...is this Moon Lake?"
Shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of her, Dora, the priest of the Holy Word, was speechless for a long time.
"What a nice view!"
The female sword saint Millie sighed and said, "If possible, I really want to live here forever. The scenery here will never get tired of it!"
Ron also took a deep breath, and he was also fascinated by the scenery in front of him.
"Let's go down!" Platts said.
"Wow-wow-"
Stepping into the cool lake water with bare feet, ripples appeared on the calm lake surface, and Ron felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. However, when he looked around, he didn't see any moonstones except for the endless lake water.
Moonstone is a mineral that emerges from the bottom of Moon Lake. After decades of irradiation by the moon in the sky, it slowly condenses into a round crystal-like thing.
"Where's the Moonstone?" Millie asked.
"Under your feet!" replied Dwarf Starfire.
"Underfoot?"
Everyone looked down and saw that the water in Moon Lake was so clear that they could even see their toes clearly, but there were no Moon Stones except for the countless pebbles and silt under their feet.
About three kilometers away from them, there was another team, about a dozen people, who seemed to be looking for the Moon Stone as well.
Shan Qiu said with a smile, "How can it be so easy to find moonstones? If you are lucky, you can find two moonstones a day. If you are unlucky, you may not find one in a few days!"
At this time, his younger brother Xinghuo took it over and said, "There are a lot more people digging moonstones now, and it's not uncommon to find one in a few days!"
Ron leaned over, "What does the Moonstone look like?"
"Hehe, we just have one here!" Xinghuo said with a smile, he took a few handfuls out of his pocket, and took out a round and round thing.
"No, this is it!" Xinghuo smiled and handed it over.
Ron took it over and saw it was a round milky white translucent bead, about the size of a palm, emitting a slight light.
"This is the Moon Stone!"
Ron held it carefully, secretly wrote down the appearance of the moon stone, and then returned the moon stone to Xinghuo.
"Everyone, be careful, don't go to places where the water is too deep, if you don't want to fight with strange beasts!"
Before leaving, Shan Qiu solemnly reminded.
The team split up and began to search for Moon Stones in Moon Lake. Those strong sanctuary experts who were usually high above the sea were catching fish like fishermen on the seashore. They touched in the middle and west of Moon Lake. The whole person fell into the water with a bang, which caused the others to laugh.
Ron's eyes widened, and he stared quietly at the bottom of the water, for fear of missing a detail. At this time, with the reflection of the moon in the sky, Ron suddenly saw a ray of light flashing strangely at the bottom of the water.
"what is that?"
Ron's heart moved, he quickly reached into the water, and carefully lifted the stones at the bottom of the lake, only to see a crystal clear moon stone hiding there quietly, like a shy little girl.
"Moonstone!"
Ron was overjoyed. He quickly dug out the Moonstone from the mud at the bottom of the lake, held it up high, and shouted loudly.
"I found the moon rock!"
Ron's voice attracted nearby teammates, and they cast their gazes over.
"So fast?"
Dwarf Hill froze for a moment, isn't this too fast? The necromancer had only been in the water for a while, and he dug up the moonstone so quickly.
However, this is also someone else's luck, and envy can't be envied. In addition to being envious, the dwarf hill searched more carefully, not letting go of a single detail.
According to the consistent agreement of the Moonstone team, whoever digs the Moonstone belongs to him. Those who dig more will naturally make a lot of money, and those who dig less can only complain about their bad luck.
"Good job, Ron!" Platz stroked his beard with a smile, and said, "It seems that I have to work hard too!"
