Son of the Olden Days

Walking among the damp woods, there are many thick rotting leaves that have accumulated in autumn. The bushes and weeds are entangled, making it very difficult to settle. There are also dense cobwebs between the trees, and my face is muddled even if I don't pay attention.

"Is there no normal way?" Waller muttered suddenly when he used a short sword to pick up the big spider crawling on his shoulder.

Lorton walked around the thorny thorns under his feet, tilted his head and explained:

"Human adventurers rarely set foot here in the south, but even if the main business road that connects Yuanmu Town from the north gate of Gray Screen Town, the situation will not be much better than here."

"There may be roads in those periods of the bright calendar, but since the dark calendar, the roads have been completely submerged by plants, and the speed of human development has long been unable to keep up with the spread of plants."

Fortunately, everyone is accustomed to the harsh environment.

Throughout the journey, Risol looked down at his feet from time to time, but only a few beads were harvested along the way.

It is very inconvenient to search for medicinal herbs with a dark vision. It is impossible to confirm at first sight. You must squat down and use touch and smell to judge. This will greatly slow down the team's progress, and simply give up.

Sol asked a question about the lighting in the wilderness, and Lorton talked about the past of Grayscreen.

It is said that at that time the mayor Elton had just taken office, the town’s winter logging team had not yet been formed, and the logging of the sleeping forest had not yet begun.

One day a rich man in the town had a dispute with a mercenary, so the rich man bid a hundred silver wolf and made a bet with the mercenary. He threatened that as long as this mercenary could spend the night alone on the edge of the forest, this hundred silver coins belonged to him.

Overnight in the wild is also commonplace for mercenaries who venture outside all the year round. The real difficulty in the gambling contract is that the mercenary must light the torch all night and support it until the next day without extinguishing the torch.

So the first-tier mercenary left the town carrying a bundle of torches.

Everyone also climbed up the protective wall of the town, holding a drink in one hand and a barbecue in the other, watching from afar.

Although it wasn't real from a distance, the flames that lit up at the edge of the forest were still very eye-catching in the dark.

Unfortunately, after the first torch burned out, the second torch never lighted up, and the first-tier mercenary disappeared.

For the bonus of the hundred silver wolves, two more people went there one after another, one at the first order, and the last one even at the second order. However, they all ended up the same and never came back.

In fact, there has been a long time ago that when walking with torches in the wilderness, the danger will increase by multiples. Almost all people who take risks all year round know it, but in the final analysis it is just a statement.

For animals like humans, people often cannot teach people, but it is enough to teach people once. Under the test of blood and life, you will understand that the spread of some experience must have its ancient truth.

"So this cruel joke finally tells us that walking in the wilderness with a torch is something a true brave can do."

We chatted and shared with each other all the way. Although the journey was a little harder, everyone didn't feel too tired, and soon finally walked out of the woods that Luoton said.

The next section of the road is a bit more empty, but the ground is still covered with countless bushes, thorns and weeds, and occasionally some strange plants that exude dim light are mixed in between, adding a weird dreamy feeling to the whole scene.

Unsure of how long they have been walking, everyone suddenly heard the sound of waves rushing from a distance, and it seemed that they had reached the beach.

Everyone was subconsciously excited. Except for Lorton, the other three were in contact with the sea for the first time.

Sol knows more from books. He knows that the sea is vast and deep, and that there are many creatures in the sea.

The terrain under the feet has gradually changed, gradually turning into a soft sandy beach.

Lorton urged everyone to take a break in the shallows, but not to go too deep into the sea, so as not to encounter any unknown sudden danger before they can escape.

While taking off his boots, Waller whispered his excitement to Lotton beside him.

But at a certain moment, the voice stopped abruptly, and Waller's face suddenly became a little distorted. He suddenly covered his neck, knelt on the sand and walked a distance quickly, before looking back in horror.

Unexpectedly, he was disgusted by Waller. Luoton's eyes twitched, turning his boots over and knocking on the sand, before turning his head back to Waller with a contemptuous look.

"A real man usually has a taste." Lorton said.

Waller, who was soaked in tears, naturally didn't believe it, but the words "real man" seemed to evoke the belief in Shuggs's heart. He lowered his head dubiously, took his feet and sniffed, but unfortunately, there was no smell.

When he turned his head, Shuggs saw Sol sticking out a sole of his foot and patted it on the beach.

"What? You want to smell it?" Sol asked.

I... what do I smell? I heard that I was a verification of life, but when I heard what other people were doing, Shuggs trembled with a cold face.

Today's adventure journey is generally good. Although there are no specific gains, at least there is a short period of leisure.

Sol even felt that when he became stronger one day, he might be able to bring Irene and the others to the beach. Girls should like the atmosphere at the beach.

The four of them were walking along the beach with their boots, while feeling the cool and pleasant waves on their feet. Waller ran around the team and kept picking up some shells and beautiful stones and stuffing them with them. In the small cloth bag.

"Don't pick up starfish, that thing needs sea water to feed, and it will crawl out to **** blood in the middle of the night." Saul glanced casually and said, scared that Valle hurriedly threw the spiny starfish into the sea.

"Come on, come and see what this is!" Very soon, Waller's horrified trill sounded in front of him.

The crowd gathered in the past, staring at the scene in the field of vision without saying a word.

Two neat rows of footprints appeared on the beach, but the footprints were too huge for them, each one was bigger than their head.

The footprints obviously came from the deep sea, and everyone followed for a while and found that the footprints came ashore and turned around, and then stretched towards the side of the beach. If they quickly followed, they might be able to catch up with the owner of the footprints.

"This should be a huge four-legged beast or monster from the deep sea." Lorton looked at the density of one-sided footprints and made a judgment.

The four looked in the direction where the monster was leaving, and Shuggs suddenly asked a question about how far the monster's vision was in the dark.

Lorton thought for a while and replied:

"There is no definitive answer to this question, but someone in Gray Screen once did an experiment, tying a dog to a tree stump with a torch, and then using a piece of fragrant meat steak to move it left and right to attract the dog's attention."

"As the steaks get away, the dog may be able to perceive that the steaks may be around through a keen sense of smell, but its line of sight can no longer be accurately positioned."

"The result of the experiment is that the dark vision of dogs is almost the same as that of humans, but in the final analysis, dogs are only one of the animals and may not represent the creatures of the entire continent."

Sol interjected in due course.

"My instructor once told me that after human beings are promoted to Tier 2,'Meditation' will grow into'Insight', and the dark vision will be expanded exponentially. Will this also exist for beasts or monsters?"

Lorton replied.

"Yes, this has been confirmed. The growth of monsters in terms of vision is the same as that of humans."

"And your mentor has not finished speaking. After the second level is promoted to the fifth level,'insight' will grow into the'shadow manifestation', and after the fifth rank is promoted to the eighth rank, the'shadow manifestation' will grow into a'silent perception'. Every time With the growth of abilities, the vision of darkness will be greatly broadened."

"It is said that at the final stage of'Silence Perception,' you don't even have to look at it. Just stand in the dark and close your eyes, and you can rely on your mental power to perceive your surroundings on a large scale."

Shuggs also inserted a lively discussion.

"The question now is, will the owner of this footprint be a high-level monster? I mean, have high-level monsters appearing around Gray Screen? It's not an ordinary one or two, but a very high one."

Lorton suddenly looked up, his expression suddenly becoming a bit horrible.

"It has not appeared, but has appeared many times. These are all unstable factors brought about by the mobility of the dark wilderness. It is said that a ninth-order dragon is sleeping somewhere in the sleeping forest. in."

"As for this footprint..."

The four people who had reacted suddenly shed cold sweat at the same time, as if they were being stared at by a distant sight in the darkness.

Everyone dared not communicate any more, bowed their heads and quickly put on their boots, and fled the beach in embarrassment.

Back in the bush-grown wilderness, no danger was being pursued, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the next step was to embark on the journey home to end this adventure.

There is not much difference between the difficult journey and the arrival, and everyone's mood gradually returned to the original calm.

Until a certain moment, Luoton suddenly stopped, and looked suspiciously behind him.

"Shoo" a strange sound, neither like metal rubbing nor wind, sounded very suddenly.

"Run~!" Almost at the same time, Lorton's violent drink exploded at the same time.

Before the words were over, Lotton had already rushed towards Saul next to him.
