Lord Highlander

As expected, the two indigenous warriors were very familiar with this forest of monsters. They chose a route that was close to the monsters without disturbing them, and headed north all the way.

Walking northward for a whole day without any danger, the group climbed over several mountains in a row. These mountains are occupied by some high-level monsters. They are not gregarious monsters, or they have good camouflage ability, making it difficult to find them. hideout.

Gulitum did have the idea of ​​hunting, but there were no good opportunities along the way.

Until evening, we camped under a tall fir tree.

The two aborigines didn't have a simple tent, they just rolled out a roll of leather that they carried with them, and prepared to sleep on the ground under the fir tree.

Everyone sat by the bonfire, and an adult porcupine was roasting on the fire. Aung San served as an interpreter, and the two indigenous warriors talked about their daily life in the Warcraft Forest.

Only then did Gulitum know that these natives usually go out in groups, and they only hunt some ordinary herds in the forest. There will be some experienced hunters tracking these herds, mastering their living habits, and hunting at their water sources or eating Set up an ambush circle in the area to surround and kill these beasts.

Occasionally, they would hunt first-level monsters, but most of the first-level monsters liked to live in groups, or they ran fast, and it was not easy to catch them.

However, there are many materials on the first-level monsters, which are the daily necessities of the tribe, so this kind of hunting is organized several times a year.

As for the second-level monsters, only the warriors in the tribe have the ability to fight against them.

There is currently only one member of the Dakuni tribe, who has the power to fight against the second-level monsters.

He was the leader of the Dakuni tribe. Surdak had actually met him, the strong native who had come forward to communicate with Aung San from the very beginning.

Normally, the tribe would not hunt these second-level monsters. Unless this second-level monster threatened the lives of the natives in the tribe or seriously affected their daily life, they would not easily provoke them.

Suldak found that these two young native warriors had very good physical fitness. They were very athletic. A lot of combat experience came from the jungle, but they lacked some real fighting and fighting skills.

With their excellent physical fitness, the strength of the two indigenous fighters is almost equivalent to that of the ninth-level fighters before the first rank. As long as they can understand their own 'potential', they can break through this layer of shackles and join the ranks of the first rank fighters.

But few of them seem to be able to comprehend the 'power'.

Talking about this, the indigenous warrior named Leto said that even though they lived and fought in accordance with the laws of the jungle, almost none of the young warriors in the tribe could feel the 'force of nature'.

Suldak asked the two young indigenous warriors: "Do you know that 'mastering the correct fighting skills can make it easier for you to realize that magical power'?"

The two native warriors shook their heads again and again, looking at Suldak enviously.

Under the darkness, Surdak stood up.

He walked from under the fir tree to the clearing in the forest, pulled out the blood red crescent from his waist, and said to the two native warriors: "This is a set of basic tactics that all warriors of the Grimm Empire must learn before going to the battlefield. Speaking of fighting skills, it involves many aspects, including breathing, force, offensive and defensive skills, maybe it will be of some help to you..."

This set of basic sword skills is almost engraved in Suldak's bones. All his movements are as standard as a textbook. He seems to be doing slow motion, but each move is calm and powerful. Although he did not explain it, he Every movement seems to drive the qi around the body, and he interprets this power to the extreme.

Until the last slash of the sword, there was almost a white sword aura.

The phantom of the demon god with two faces and four arms appeared behind him at the last moment, and the invisible oppression caused by that kind of strength almost made the two native warriors breathless.

The two indigenous warriors looked at Suldak in shock, including Aung San, who had benefited a lot from Suldak's basic sword skills.

These two indigenous warriors themselves have very good talents. They broke two wooden sticks from a nearby tree and tried to reproduce Suldak's movements. Unexpectedly, in just half a night, the indigenous warrior named Leto Feeling the mysterious force of nature, he half-stepped into the ranks of first-rank warriors.

In the middle of the night, two indigenous warriors were lying on the animal skin, with their hands pillowed on their pillows, so excited that they couldn't fall asleep for a while.

Leto opened his eyes and turned to look at his companions.

He was so excited that it was difficult to fall asleep, and he wanted to continue to maintain this feeling, so that he could comprehend his own 'potential'.

His lips are a little thick, his mouth is big, and his smile is a little ugly.

"Hey, Baler-Müller, I don't think these imperial people are as bad as the rumors say." Leto said.

On the contrary, his companion remained awake, narrowed his eyes and glanced at him, and said in a low voice, "Come on! How many imperial people have you seen?"

They knew that the three imperial people could not understand the native language, they just needed to beware of Aung San.

In fact, they have known Aung San for a longer time, and Aung San has been secretly helping the surrounding indigenous tribes in private, such as making some mutually beneficial transactions.

They had already regarded Aung San as their fellow brothers, and they trusted Aung San, otherwise the leader would not have brought these imperial people to meet the Great Elder.

Leto turned over and touched the iron dagger at his waist. The mouth of this dagger was very blunt, no matter how it was polished, it was fine for cutting cooked meat, but it couldn't cut through the tough monster leather.

He peeked at the simple tent over there, and said in a low voice, "Everyone seems to have sophisticated weapons, which is really enviable."

"When they point these weapons at you, you won't be envious."

Baller-Müller couldn't help but poured a bucket of cold water on Leto's head again.

Leto didn't mind, and argued, "Actually, I don't think the slave hunters... can represent all the people of the empire."

Balermueller grinned, his smile was sinister and ferocious, and said: "But the imperial people who have contact with us are all hateful slave catchers. I saw Nazha being taken away by them with my own eyes. One day I will I will kill all the slave catchers and bring Zana back."

Leto stretched out his hand, held Baler-Müller's hand tightly, and said to him: "We will work together on this matter, and when we learn the skills, we will find a way to go to the Grimm Empire to find her, and at the same time to find our enemy. "

"good."

Baaler-Müller didn't feel weird this time, but said very straightforwardly.

"Speaking of which, the Great Elder asked the two of us to perform the mission together this time, probably to get in touch with these imperial people."

Leto stretched his body, yawned and said:

"And if we want to enter the Grimm Empire, it is necessary to learn some imperial language."

Baller-Müller turned over, sat up, and said to Leto:

"Go to sleep, I will continue on my way tomorrow, I will check the surrounding security traps."

...

Waking up early in the morning, Leto saw a chilled blue bobcat hanging from a pine tree next to it, with two fine steel arrows nailed to its forehead and a hemp rope hanging on one hind leg. Hanging upside down on a tree like this.

The blood in his body seemed to have drained out, and Surdak was holding a skinning knife, peeling the fur of the lynx.

Leto felt that if he had such a sharp dagger, the skinning action should also be smooth and smooth.

While peeling off the lynx's fur, Suldak nagged to Samira: "This kind of cat meat is the most unpalatable, and there is no magic core in the body, so it is worthless. Next time, we just need to scare them away." , don't kill any more, unless you need this lynx fur scarf."

Samira was sitting on a branch of a pine tree, holding a green fruit in her hand, gnawing on it, not caring what Suldak said.

Gullitum, who was sitting against the fir tree, nodded again and again, raised his head and said to Samira:

"I like venison, but also bear and wild boar, or at worst rabbit or snow chicken."

Samira threw the fruit core on the ogre's head, hung it upside down on the branch, looked at Suldak and said:

"Don't you think that there are very few beasts here?"

Surdak stopped the skinning knife in his hand, turned to Aung San and asked:

"That means we're not too far away from the nest of ghost-striped red ants... Aung San, isn't that so?"

Aung San muttered to the two indigenous warriors, and then said to Suldak: "We haven't reached their hunting range yet. In fact, our destination this time is on the northern slope of that mountain."

A light mist rose in the woods in the morning. Walking through the woods, the leather armor on my body was wet with dew, and it felt a bit cold when it touched my body.

There is a musty smell in the forest. Many trees are covered with purple moss, and even the ground under your feet is a little slippery. The further you go north, the more intuitively you can feel that the small animals in the forest are almost extinct. up.

The whole forest is quiet, only the chirping of some insects.

The further you go north, you will see some giant fir trees over 100 meters high, and there are many larger trees lying down in the woodland. The tree holes formed are like natural tunnels, and some tree holes can stretch for hundreds of meters. In addition to moss, many fungi grow on the surface of these tree holes.

It is hard to imagine how spectacular it was when these giant trees with a diameter of more than 20 meters and a height of several hundred meters stood in the mountains.

Suldak reached out and knocked on the nearly rotten tree trunk. The texture of the tree trunk was like a hard rock, and there were several crisp sounds in succession.

Samira leaned over curiously, scraped off a layer of sticky moss with a dagger, identified it carefully, and then whispered: "My God, this giant tree that is about to rot is actually iron wood, this tree How many years does it take for Ironwood to grow so tall?"

As the hardest wood, ironwood has always been famous for its preciousness. Whether it is making high-end furniture or making ironwood bows and arrow shafts, it is widely used.

In the beginning, even the main components of the catapult and bed crossbow were made of ironwood, but in recent years, ironwood resources have become increasingly scarce, and many core components have been replaced by magic metal.

Unexpectedly, in the mountains deep in the Invercargill Warcraft Forest, there is actually a giant iron tree that has been dead for many years. Although the surface of this iron tree is covered with moss and fungi, its texture is not affected at all.

"If it can be moved back to Bena City, it is estimated that at least half of the Constructed Knights can be exchanged..."

Suldak looked up at the arched tree hole more than ten meters high, and couldn't help saying in amazement.

Such a giant ironwood tree will not be much worse than a mine. The most important thing is that it is exposed on the surface and is more convenient to mine. As long as there is a way to separate such a giant tree, Suldak has a way to transport Go back to Highlander.

The only troublesome place is in the depths of the Invercargill Warcraft Forest.

This place is deeper into the forest than the two mine locations marked on the map by Marquis Luther.

Aung San translated Leto's words: "The stone bow made of this material is very good, but everyone in the tribe can cut it..."

Aung San was also shocked by the huge ironwood in front of him. He knew that ironwood was very valuable, and the ironwood bow was also the best hardwood bow.

For a long time, the aborigines in Dodan have lived an extremely difficult life.

It never occurred to him that it wasn't the poor land in the Bailin plane that made the lives of the aborigines miserable and miserable.

It's that there is a huge amount of wealth in front of you but you don't know it...

There is no way to transport these huge iron logs away for the time being, so they can only be left to lie in the mountains.

Leto and Baller-Müller led everyone to continue walking until the two native warriors finally stopped after turning over the high mountain in front of them.

Except for Gullitum who was waiting under the tree, the other five climbed up a tall fir tree and climbed to the top of the canopy. The vision jumped out from the forest area. There was an open green forest in front of them, and all the canopies were under their feet. , with the continuous ups and downs of the mountains.

The native warrior Baler-Müller pointed to a huge barrier-like peak in the north and said a word.

Aung San held the branches of the fir tree and said to Suldak, "They say that is the Dark Worm Valley..."

"The whole mountain?" Suerdak took a breath and asked.

Aung San nodded.

The height of this mountain is also straight into the sky, and there is also some white snow on the top. It seems that it should be a glacier accumulated for thousands of years.

The peak is hidden in the clouds, surrounded by a layer of mist like blue smoke, and the real appearance of the mountains cannot be seen.

There are no such high peaks around the forest anymore, standing alone in the center of the Invercargill Warcraft Forest.

"Below this mountain range is the maximum activity area of ​​the ghost-patterned red ants. When the beast swarm comes, they will cross this mountain range and head south all the way to occupy all the forests..."

Aung San stood aside and introduced to Surdak.

Hearing what Aung San said, Suldak quickly flashed some images of ghost-striped red ants invading in his mind.

He wanted to sneak a look at the ghost-striped red ants at the foot of the mountain, but was severely rejected by two native warriors...
