Qianmao District, to the north, has explored the edge of the area.
His stature is slightly shorter than normal adults, but his strength is comparable to that of Ted. With the title of "giant beast", Tate is carrying a fully groomed log with a diameter of more than one foot and a length of ten feet. , walked towards the distant hillside; beside him, Feribe, who was the tower guard of the Moonlight Tower, was constantly calculating something—
"It should be nearby! How could it be useless?"
Ferribe, who was dressed like an aristocratic butler in Qianmao District, was extremely eye-catching. After talking to himself in a low voice at this moment, he felt more like a god; even the tower who had been with him for a long time Tedu couldn't help frowning, holding the log on his shoulder with one hand, and slapped Ferribe hard with the other hand.
Snapped!
Amid the crisp sound, Ferribe, who was thin and thin, rushed forward a few steps and almost fell to the ground; he turned his head, looked at Tate with dissatisfaction, and said loudly, "What are you doing?"
"What are you doing?"
Tate stood the log on the ground with a bang, and then looked at Ferribe angrily: "I still want to ask you what you are doing! Mysteriously dragged me here early in the morning, today's ruins The exploration is about to start, if you don’t say why, I’ll go back and help Jacob continue to explore the ruins!”
"What's the point of exploring the ruins? I have something more fun here!" Ferribe grabbed Tate who was about to leave, and seeing the other party's disbelief, he said mysteriously: "Remember the day before yesterday?" I came out alone in the afternoon, and then...did I go back very late?"
"Someone seems to be lazy like this every day!"
"The day before yesterday, that time was special! Special!"
Ferribe under Tate's 'debunked'. His face couldn't help but blush—as Ferribe, who was brought by Jacob to the Thousand Swamp District to act as a communication messenger between Jacob and the witcher headquarters because of the bet, he didn't have any complaints about this; , or have a good relationship with Jacob, he will not seriously care about it; however, facing the boring life of exploring the ruins in the Thousand Swamp District, Ferribe is a bit difficult to accept.
Especially when my friend Jacob started to 'work' every day, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the people near the ruins. This is true whether it is a demon hunter or a native of the Thousand Swamp District, and it is even more difficult for Ferribe to have a single person to talk to—so, after persisting for a while, Ferribe began to make fun of himself; Start with exploring the ruins as the center of the circle, explore the terrain in all directions, and then learn from the locals to set some traps around. Hunt some animals and improve food for everyone.
Regarding this, Jacob, who knew his friend's personality well, just smiled, and had no intention of interfering at all—after all, the reason why he dragged him to the ruins in the Thousand Swamp District was to contact the Demon Hunter headquarters, Handy for shipping some important items; as for the rest? Jacob didn't dare to think about it; he knew it. If Ferribe is allowed to explore the ruins, it cannot be exploration, but destruction.
It has always been Jacob's idea to fully explore the ruins, especially when he can do it. He will even protect the relics that can be protected—"Treasure Hunter" is Jacob's title, but Jacob prefers the title of "Relic Hunter".
And after Jacob's indulgence. Except for having breakfast with everyone in the morning, Feribe didn't know where he was at all other times, and he would not return to the camp until after dark—and as time went by, the "souvenirs" in Feribe's tent 'There are more and more; there are sparkling stones, beautiful flowers, and some amber that is common in Senmao...
"Special, because you didn't find something suitable to decorate your tent?" Tate couldn't help laughing when he thought of the shiny tent in the camp: "You know, your tent always reminds me of Killed those courting birds back home!"
"Seek, courtship?"
Ferribe stuttered a little.
"What? Don't you know?" Tate didn't estimate Ferribe's thoughts at all, and said directly: "I thought you knew, and now the whole exploration team is saying that you have reached the 'courtship period', but you can mate How big is your bird? Tsk tsk, not even an eagle!"
"Ah! You bastard Tate!"
Ferribe jumped to his feet when he heard the joke about pairing himself with the bird.
"Isn't it? I know how to find some shiny things to decorate my tent every day. How is this different from those courting birds?" Tate, who opened his teeth and claws and rushed towards him, was very serious.
"Of course! I did it for my hobby!"
"And the courting birds are about the same!"
Compared with Ferribe's uprightness, Tate is equally righteous; even more determined than Ferribe - with his hands on his shoulders, as if I have recognized it.
"me… "
Ferribe opened his mouth to explain, but never came up with a convincing explanation.
"Okay, I'm going back to the ruins! Jacob's place is inseparable from people!"
Looking at Ferribe in this appearance, Tate waved to Ferribe with a triumphant smile, turned around and thought about walking to the campsite—but the moment he turned around, a gust of wind rang out from behind , following the severe pain in the back of his head, and Ferribe's exclamation, he lost consciousness.
"When I woke up, I was already in my tent!" Tate rubbed the bruise that still existed on the back of his head, gritted his teeth in pain, and then lowered his voice: "Jacob has found me , but Ferribe was not found!"
"Are you sure, this is not Ferribe's joke?"
Ye Qi, who was sitting opposite Tate, frowned and asked—Ye Qi, who had been traveling for a day and two nights this morning, finally came to the ruins that Jacob was exploring; however, as soon as he entered the ruins, he got a strange Good news; Tate has been attacked and Ferribe, one of the Guardians of the Tower of the Moonlight, is missing.
And Jacob had to temporarily stop the exploration of the ruins to find the missing Ferribe—compared to the exploration of the ruins. For a demon hunter, the whereabouts of his friends are undoubtedly more important; therefore. When Ye Qi followed the map and found the camp of the entire relic exploration team, except for the necessary personnel left behind and Tate, Jacob and others had already set off to find Ferribe.
"Although Ferribe likes to joke, he would never make such a bad joke!"
Pointing to the bruise on the back of his head, Tate's expression was very serious—Ye Qi saw very clearly that the bruise was located under the skull, which belonged to the extremely fragile part of the skull, so. Even Tate, who is a moonlight-level apostle, would faint under the attack; of course, fortunately, Tate, a moonlight-level apostle, would have lost his breath by now if he was an ordinary person; Ye Qi is convinced that the body of the Yuehui-level apostle is still bruised.
What a hassle!
Ye Qi couldn't help squinting his eyes, after saying goodbye to everyone in the market. He set off that night and rushed towards the ruins where Jacob was—since he had deduced that what the Holy See wanted was likely to be in the ruins he was exploring, Ye Qi would naturally not sit at the gate of the ruins and wait for him Calling the door; taking what the other party wants in advance is the most correct way; therefore, on the way here, Ye Qi has already formulated several sets of methods on how to obtain the unknown item in advance.
After all, compared to ordinary explorers who worry about traps. In terms of gradual exploration, Ye Qi, who possesses blind fighting perception, can completely reach a speed unimaginable by others—and after removing those magic traps, mechanical traps alone still cannot pose a threat to Ye Qi of; therefore. Ye Qi was confident enough to take away what the Holy See might be looking for from the ruins before the Holy See's people arrived.
But now these have been designated plans. But all of them died—ignoring Ferribe's disappearance, abandoning the people who were looking for, and entering the ruins by himself, Ye Qi still can't do such a thing; although the strange wolf commented that this behavior is a "hypocritical act of self-deception" , but Ye Qi is still unable to do things that break through the bottom line; after all, if there is one, there are two, Ye Qi is very aware of his own "bad habits"!
And in order not to let such a 'bad habit' appear on him and finally drag him into that desperate situation, Ye Qi chose the most correct way very rationally - he must find Ferribe as soon as possible, and then rush to the Holy See Explore the ruins before you come!
"Where is the area you and Ferribe went to?" Ye Qi asked directly.
"It's not far from the camp, only half an hour away!" Tate immediately jumped up from the ground when he heard Ye Qi's words, and walked directly to the outside of the tent: "I'll show you the way!"
"Injury to the back of your head?"
"I was a little dizzy in the morning, but now I'm completely fine! After all, I'm also a real moonlight-level apostle!" Tate waved his hand indifferently, and then punched the two demon hunters staying in the camp. Greeting, under the respectful eyes of the two demon hunters, Ye Qi followed Tate and walked towards the place where Ferribe disappeared.
…
The "rough" roads in Qianmao District are world-renowned. Ye Qi, who has been in Qianmao District for a long time, is also well aware of this. Except for the vicinity of the market that is connected to the outside world, there are basically no roads in other places. The road was completely replaced by bushes, swamps and other terrain—but at this moment, a narrow path appeared in front of Ye Qi's eyes. Although it was uneven, it was completely rammed with soil, without any stone paving, but it was indeed a path. the way'!
Walking on the compacted soil, feeling the firmness of the soil under his feet, Ye Qi immediately raised his eyebrows—Ye Qi didn't have a deep impression of Ferribe, who had met several times before; Except for the testers of the Apostles Tournament, and the opponent is Jacob's friend, Ye Qi doesn't know anything about it; therefore, it is difficult for even Ye Qi to judge the opponent's behavior, and he can only make some assumptions.
This width is just wide enough for an adult to pass through!
While walking, Ye Qi slowed down his pace a little. After testing it, he came to the conclusion that if this road was tamped by Ferribe, then undoubtedly Ferribe would be far more boring here than he was. expected; and if not, then things are a little bit interesting.
Although some large animals can also advance and walk in such a width, as far as Ye Qi knows, none of those animals can tamp down this soft soil to the point where even boots can't leave footprints! And, even ordinary people use mechanical help. It takes a long time to make the immediate effect!
A person who can reach this level without a machine, and can easily knock out Tate...
Ye Qi had some guesses in his heart. But these speculations lacked corresponding basis, so he couldn't be sure—feeling the firmness of the soil under his feet again, Ye Qi asked Tate in front of him.
"Is this also made by Ferribe?"
"No, I once asked Ferribe the same question!" Tate turned around and showed a wry smile: "He answered very clearly; in fact, it was because I saw this road that I was curious. Follow that guy and head towards the 'good place' he said!"
"Haven't you guys discovered this 'trail' before?" Out of instinctive caution, Ye Qi asked again.
"No! You know. Because of the existence of that relic, we didn't notice anything else! Just checked the surroundings to see if it was safe, and then started our 'work'!" Tate said truthfully, shaking his head - He naturally has no need to hide anything about Ye Qi; apart from the relationship between Jacob and Ye Qi, the cloak that Ye Qi is wearing at the moment represents the solar level is also one of the reasons why Tate answered truthfully.
Although he was in the depths of the explored area in Qianmao District, there was Ferribe who went back and forth between the headquarters and here from time to time, and Tate was very clear about the news from the outside world. What's more, he witnessed Ye Qi's 'battle' with the head of the Holy Knights; especially after that, he repeatedly killed unknown strongmen of the same level - no doubt, the title of Sun Yao is well-deserved of!
Although, he was very unconvinced when he lost to the opponent in the apostle martial arts tournament. But when this series of achievements appeared in front of him, Tate admired him from the bottom of his heart—if he is only a little ahead of himself, those who work hard will chase after him, and those with ulterior motives will be jealous; but if he is strong enough to look up to Regardless of the former or the latter, there will be admiration. Although the former will still try to catch up, the latter will still be jealous.
obviously. Tate is the former - as a traditional demon hunter, he is not so easy to admit defeat; for this reason, in the remaining time of exploring the ruins, Tate has been working hard to improve his strength; especially in the At night, they would pull Jacob or Ferribe to experiment with their various fighting ideas.
You guys always use me as a free sparring partner every time!
Although Ferribe is clamoring like this every time, he still tries his best to practice with him every time—thinking that after every sparring, no matter whether he wins or loses, Ferribe will always show the kind of "I just use it!" Tate subconsciously smiled at the three-point strength' expression; then, immediately reacting to his current emotions, his expression immediately darkened.
You bastard, don't let anything happen to you!
Thinking of the missing Ferribe, Tate couldn't help speeding up his pace by two points, while Ye Qi behind him had a thoughtful expression on his face, but his pace didn't lag behind in the slightest—
As a demon hunter, Ye Qi is very aware of how cautious demon hunters are about campsites. Places like this that are less than half an hour away from the campsite must be carefully searched, even if it is because of the 'remains' ', the center of gravity has shifted, but as the leader of the ruins exploration team, Jacob, based on Ye Qi's understanding of the other party, this place will definitely be within the scope of the other party's exploration.
Secret enough to escape Jacob's detection
Or did this road only appear after Jacob's investigation
If it is the former, there is no doubt that Ye Qi needs to add one more point to Ye Qi's evaluation of this existence that has not yet shown up. In the area, the only thing that can attract people seems to be the ruins that Jacob searched and explored.
Could it be because of the things in the ruins
Such thoughts appeared in Ye Qi's heart irresistibly, but then Ye Qi shook his head again - if the other party really came for something in the ruins, or the ruins themselves, then there is a better chance than now better? As the person in charge, Jacob's departure fully achieved the purpose of diverting the tiger away from the mountain; but the other party did not take any action; and if it was only for the ruins, there is no need for this trail to appear at all; A direct surprise attack is more effective in Ye Qi's opinion.
Is it just an accident
The limited clues made Ye Qi sigh in his heart—this kind of clues that can only be obtained, but can't grasp the whole thing, is too uncomfortable for a person like Ye Qi who is used to making decisions before acting!
"Hey, what is this?"
Tate, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped in his tracks, and let out an exclamation: Instinctively, Ye Qi looked up—and saw that at the end of this 'trail', passing through layers of stickers Behind the tall trees, branches, thorns, and flowers, a blue lake appeared in front of my eyes; under the sun, as the breeze blew, the glittering spots reflected the dazzling light like fish, which made my eyes unstoppable. He squinted slightly.
"I finally know why Ferribe asked me to carry that log!"
Tate looked at the lake in front of him, and couldn't help muttering to himself; while Ye Qi squinted his head and looked at the protruding lake in front of him, with his left hand lightly resting on the handle of Yan Mo Dao.
