The appearance of the limeworm hidden under the shell of the same color as the limestone is that countless maggot-like tentacles are constantly wriggling, and the soft body under the tentacles undulates up and down, but it is completely covered by the tentacles, and only the dirty The black soft body seems to contain unknown dark and light-transmitting energy, emitting eerie black light and smoke.
The gray rock insect swarm on the ground around the two quickly lost patience, and after declaring war, they raised the black whiskers that exposed the soft part of the shell, and rushed towards their "afternoon tea food" in waves—
Zuo Ci had no choice but to pull out the dagger at his waist, and concentrated his mind, planning to activate the stealth skill first to let the bugs escape as much as possible, and then use the physical ultimate move together to kill as many bugs as possible.
Unexpectedly, the black-clothed swordsman sitting behind him accidentally put his left hand around his waist, and then drew out the Japanese long sword pinned to his waist with his right hand. Accompanied by the swordsman swiping the long knife in half a circle suddenly, a burst of sharp white sword energy burst out, and the resulting airflow fluctuated so violently that Zuo Ci seemed to see the fluctuating phantoms of the surrounding scenes produced by the sword energy. Of course, the effect was more practical It was the sharp sword energy that chopped, shattered, and repelled the incoming wave of gray rock worms—
Following this force, the black-clothed swordsman leaped up while hugging Zuo Ci's body, as if genuine energy was gushing out from his body, and brought the two of them to a high place in the sky without using their legs and feet to reach the ground.
However, the gray rock worms that flew into the air did not give up. The ones that fell back to the ground quickly struggled to straighten their bodies, and then moved in groups, jumping on top of each other, relying on the bodies of countless companions to pile up piles of ashes. The wall gradually approached the two jumping in the air. And those gray rock worms attached to the stone pillar bounced towards their prey recklessly...
The black-clothed swordsman immediately swung the long knife in his hand, slashing and spinning his wrists in a circle, and waved waves of sword energy, constantly repelling the flying insects.
Of course, with such a huge and fierce attacking swarm of insects rushing towards them, there were naturally some limestone worms that successfully climbed onto the bodies of the two of them, but the black-clothed swordsman's body was full of energy, and anyone possessing an insect body would be immediately shocked by the energy in his body. fly out.
But Zuo Ci didn't have this ability, so he had to use the dagger he held tightly in both hands to pierce through the evil insects one by one before throwing them out. Unfortunately, there were too many to deal with, and his arm was still bitten by a gray rock insect. into the body...
Zuo Ci groaned in pain, and finally the black-clothed swordsman rescued him. When the insect body moved to his upper arm, the swordsman's right hand teleported and grabbed the evil insect from Zuo Ci's body. Pulled out the skin and flesh, and crushed it.
Immediately, the black-clothed swordsman and Zuo Ci landed on the wall of a stone pillar for a while, and the zhenqi gathered under the toes burst out a circle of sword energy similar to a circle, shaking away countless insects on the stone wall, and then moved towards A higher position jumped up.
In this way, relying on the strength between several giant stone pillars, the swordsman in black jumped higher and higher. This is probably what he mentioned earlier: [Actually, I jump in the sky most of the time. ] - the meaning of it.
As the height of the jump increased, the swarm of insects was finally thrown away, and all the evil insects on his body were gradually wiped off. At this moment, Zuo Ci thought of his cute and timid brown ostrich mount being left on the ground, and couldn't help but Concerned: "Will the mount be eaten?"
"Don't worry, the mounts in this continent are smarter than you and run faster than you, just save your own life, that little bird will catch up later."
Regardless of whether the black-clothed swordsman's words were perfunctory or not, he answered to the point, Zuo Ci didn't say anything more, and could only let himself be carried by him, jumping all the way to the top of a stone pillar, and then jumped from the top of a stone pillar to the top of the stone pillar. Another one, using it to make a long jump towards the boundary of the stone forest.

After flying in the air for about an hour, the number of stone pillars became less and less. In the field of vision, a red hillside seemed to appear amidst the clouds.
After jumping two more stone pillars, the swordsman in black finally reached the edge and landed lightly.
Sure enough, they had already passed through the terrifying gray rock forest insect area, and came to a laterite plain dotted with red broken crystals. In the distance, there were vaguely red continuous volcanoes, and the light smoke lingered in the sky, making the sky seem ethereal Mei, it seems that the target that fell into the blood abyss volcano group is not so far away.
Both feet landed on the ground, and the black-clothed swordsman let go of Zuo Ci's waist, and stood up straight in front of him with a proud face, saying to himself, "Hehehe...how? Although he has no experience in dealing with gray rock worms , but I can still take you out of trouble with my good jumping ability, don't you want to say thank you?"
Zuo Ci frowned slightly, he was not used to the light and joking words, so the two fell into an awkward silence. At this time, there was a sudden sound of familiar footsteps running with claws and webs behind them, and when they turned their heads, they saw that cute big bird running towards them with a serious face...
"Hehehe... Look, I told you that the mounts in this world are more powerful than you imagined." The black-clothed swordsman still said in that joking tone.
After the words fell, the brown ostrich also ran to the front, and then put its head on the master's shoulder as if expressing guilt. Zuo Ci couldn't help but patted its head and neck, which was annoyed by that, probably as an expression of his master's forgiveness.
"Hehehe... well, I said before that I would complete the task if I walk out of this stone forest with you, now I should go to take a nap, I have been feeling a little sleepy just now." In the sunny weather, he yawned and made a gesture to leave.
"Wait a minute—" Zuo Ci couldn't help calling him, and blurted out his request, "At least tell me your name."
"Hehehe... Didn't you call me Wumingshi before? I like this name, so you can call me 'Wumingshi' from now on." The black-clothed swordsman said and took a few steps towards the gray stone forest, rubbing against Zuo Ci. After passing by, he turned his face as if he remembered something again, and said, "The road to becoming stronger in this world is extremely difficult, and there are more things to learn than you imagined. The next time we meet I'll tell you how to get super powerful weapons and equipment later. However, don't call me for nothing, I'm very busy, so I can't be there every time."
After speaking, the swordsman used his super jumping ability to jump towards the stone pillar closest to him.

When the nameless person disappeared from sight, Zuo Ci couldn't help sighing lightly. It's just because after this period of walking together, he still didn't ask anything about the background of this mysterious person. More answers can only be found after the next encounter. up.
So he jumped on his brown ostrich and ran towards the main road visible in the field of vision.
This afternoon's toss made him decide to concentrate on his journey for the time being. Because starting from the gray stone forest, the monsters along the way don't seem to be easy to mess with. If you think about fighting too much, you may waste time restoring your state. So, although he wasn't sure how far ahead to find a place to stay, he still decided to find a place where there was an inn first, so that he could effectively clean up his backpack, take a reasonable rest, and focus on fighting and leveling up more effectively.
Just like this, he kept running along the main road without distraction. The terrain of the plain became higher and higher with the direction of the road. Another hour after the sun set, more and more rocks and boulders began to appear around him. Zuo Ci boarded the Looking far away from a huge sloping boulder on the side of the road, I finally saw a lot of lights on a hillside on the left hand side of the main road. It seems that there are still post villages on this road.
The target was close in front of him, and he ran towards the place where the lights were lit with a burst of ease in his heart.
The small road opened to the left along the main road runs towards the hillside, and two rows of hanging stone lamps gradually appear on the side of the road. Judging from the material of the lampshade, it should be carved with the shiny red crystal stones seen on the laterite plain. Some were hung on the mountain wall, and some were hung on polished stone pillars. At the same time, Zuo Ci also heard the sound of knocking, and felt that the front seemed to be full of people.
