Chapter 564 The Invisible Land(1/2)
"I said, can't you get off me?"
Walking in the lush forest, Xiwei sighed helplessly and said to Hero who was lying on his back.
This is a forest bordering the New Green Grassland. Judging from the systematic map, this forest called "Fairy Garden" is very wide in area. Although it is not as big as the ancient forest where forest elves live, it is almost one-third of its size in terms of area.
When Morag's affairs were all stabilized, and Adrick's senior executives were busy organizing the 21st alumni exchange meeting, Sivi, as the proposer, was free. It was precisely because of this that he returned there through the magic coordinates he had left on the New Green Grassland earlier and was preparing to continue exploring like Middle-earth.
And anyway, there is no hurry to explore Middle-earth. He simply regarded this task as a tourism and went forward leisurely. Occasionally, he would find some unexpected surprises - for example, in the dwarf tribe a few days ago, Xiwei exchanged a few barrels of high-quality ale for many Yaojings, equipment made by dwarf craftsmen, and friendship between dwarfs. The things in front were handed over to the trading house under the academy to sell them, and the friendship between dwarfs could be earned a lot of money. The friendship between dwarfs also allowed Xiwei to maintain long-term cooperation with them. So when he left, he specially made a magic coordinate next to the dwarf tribe.
Hero is more leisurely than Sivi.
Originally, Xiwei did not intend to bring Hero, the oil bottle. However, keeping Hero in the academy would cause even more troublesome things.
For example, when Teo saw Hero always hiding in Siwei's arms, he also came in with a little angry expression. It forced Siwei to try his best to prevent his work from being disturbed by their two little heads, while enduring the sight of scum from others.
In the end, Sivi could not bear it and could only let Hero travel with another person... Anyway, Cerberus' original purpose was to see the current world with his own eyes. Traveling out was also a way to fulfill its dream.
"You are the source of my strength. In order to continue to accumulate the magic of hell, you must be close to you. If you don't mind, mucosal contact and body fluid exchange can also speed up the process."
He Luoran, who lay behind Xiwei and looked like an orc girl, said.
What the hell is mucosal contact and body fluid exchange? Why can this guy say such shameless words with an innocent little loli's face with an angel-like pure expression...
Xiwei wanted to complain, but in the end he couldn't say anything. He could only say in disappointment: "It's been sticking to it for so long, haven't you accumulated enough?"
"So. Mucosal contact and body fluid exchange can accelerate..."
"Enough! I'm wrong, let's change the topic..." Xiwei was in tears.
If Hero's external expression is larger, he might be a little sexually interesting, but the problem is that Hero looks too young now, even smaller than Teo, who has grown up recently, and is as petite and cute as a doll. If you react to such a little guy, no need to condemn others. Sivi himself will be overwhelmed by the guilt in his heart.
But Xiwei considered herself not a nanny, so she couldn't always carry Hero... Especially when the other party's chest was completely undeveloped like a washing board, and there was no soft feeling at all...
So in the end, Sivi pulled her off her back.
Not long after, they suddenly realized that the forest had come to an end.
"Strange..." But Sivi frowned.
He pulled out the system map and reconfirmed that they had indeed passed through the jungle instead of walking the fork and crawling out from the side.
"Is there anything wrong?" Hero pulled down his princess skirt that was hung by the branches in annoyance and asked Xiwei.
Her outfit is not suitable for walking in the forest. She will always be hooked by branches after walking a few steps.
If the long skirt on her body was not woven completely from the hair she took off by the three-headed dog in Hell, she would have probably become ragged and had a leak.
“We’re walking too fast.”
Because Hero could not see the system map, Xiwei took out a map he copied from his storage box and showed her the map in the forest where they are now.
"This forest looks like a lying mololuo (a plant with edible roots, similar to potatoes). Our starting point is here, and the route is like cutting this mololuo into two straight lines, from one side to the other..."
"You mean, we are on the wrong path? Where are we now?" Herou came to Xiwei and stared at the map. Unfortunately, she was not familiar with Xiumen and could not understand the comments on the map.
"No, we're right, we're here now." Xiwei pointed to the opposite side of the starting point.
"Isn't that normal? Is there anything wrong?" Hero frowned his little eyebrows, looking particularly cute. It's a pity that Xiwei doesn't have the leisure to appreciate now.
"It's too fast." Xiwei frowned: "According to my estimate, this route is at least nearly 200 kilometers, but we finished it in less than three days. You must know that this is not a business road, but in the jungle!"
The travel speed in this dense jungle is far lower than that in other terrains. Various plants occupy most of the space. Sometimes, Xiwei and the others can't even find the place to stand down, and they can only rely on magic to clear the road.
In addition, Hero was hooked by branches from time to time, it should take a long time to travel through this jungle - in fact, Xiwei has done it since the beginning. When he was not interested in continuing to play in the jungle, he flew out of the jungle with flying techniques...
"Then what do you think is going on?"
Hero became interested, and repeatedly compared the map, while asking Xiwei.
"I don't know...but when I was in the forest I had a very strange feeling...it was like we had a long way off."
Sivi rubbed his temples and began to recall the incongruity he noticed in the forest.
"Isn't it a good thing to walk a shorter distance?" Hero closed the map.
"The key to the problem is not this... Rather than saying that it is less than walking a short distance, it seems that the center of this forest is isolated by something, and there is chaos in the connection of space around it."
Sivi took the map, took out another quill, drew an irregular circle in the area representing the forest, and then he drew an arrow towards the circle on one side of the circle.
"For example, we are walking over here," he then drew an arrow outside the circle opposite the arrow, but this time the arrow was heading out of the circle: "As a result, we didn't walk inside the circle at all, and we walked out from the other side, so the phenomenon of 'going less road' appeared."
"Oh, so that's it." Hero shook his tail like a puppy, looking clear.
"After speaking, you are the clone of the three-headed dog in Hell. Doesn't you even feel anything?"
Looking at Hero's appearance, Sivi couldn't help feeling a little weak. The clone created by Cerberos really seemed to be unreliable... although it wasn't very reliable.
"Because the magic of hell has not been accumulated, it is natural that it is not possible to detect it!"
After pushing all the responsibility on Xiwei, Hero tried to pounce, but Xiwei hit his forehead with a knife, and could only cover his forehead and squat beside the tree root with a "ah woo".
Since we have determined that there is a strange place in the center of this forest, the next option is very simple. Should we try to go to the unknown area, or ignore it and leave this forest for the time being?
The system helped Xiwei make a choice.
"Side Quest: Intruder-Door"
"Task content: As a brave man, how can you go out of someone else's house to rummage the boxes and cabinets!"
"Task requirements: Please find the 'door' entering the central area as soon as possible. The evaluation is S within three hours, and the evaluation is A within one day. The evaluation is B within three days, and then it will be C. The reward depends on the evaluation."
"Durated:000:00:01"
"Note: 'It's really illegal to take other people's things at will!...unless you are in a maze, dungeon and devil city. Also, as a brave man, you should be able to ignore this law.' - the former brave man who advocated "I did not commit a crime" in prison."
"As an adventurer, how could he remain indifferent when encountering such a thing!"
Xiwei's eyes lit up and said righteously to Hero, who was full of sorrow, "Explore all the unknowns. This is the joy of adventure!"
Hero: "I was obviously looking bored just now..."
Do it as you say it, and sufficient mobility is one of the few advantages of Xiwei. What's more, this task is a timing task, and the timing has already started as soon as the task panel is opened.
only……
"Why is Slime?"
Hero looked at the blue jelly-shaped creature on the ground, and his expression twitched, and asked Xiwei.
"Of course, it's because the magic value consumes in summoning slimes is small, and there is no limit on individual repetition. As long as you can afford the magic, you can summon infinitely."
Sivie spread her hands: "There are so many slimes now, enough for us to do something."
As he said that, he picked up the map again and started writing and drawing on it.
According to the task prompt, what he was looking for was the ‘door’. This is likely to be a metaphor, and there would not be a sudden erect door in the forest.
The so-called door means that this barrier is different from the general continuous barrier. You can set up a door on it for entry and exit. What he is looking for is the location where the door is located.
Of course, he didn't expect Slime Hai to find such an important task - it would be so easy to talk to if it was so simple that it would be so easy to enter and exit the plane.
So these poor slimes were completely used by Sivir as barrier detection devices. After about an hour, Sivir barely obtained the original appearance of the "disappearing" piece of land.
"It looks like a hibernating toad." On the way, because of boredom, he beat the leaders of several wolf species in the forest one by one. Now he is worshipped by hundreds of wolves as idols and almost became the heads of the wolf sisters. Hero looked at the dense map drawn by Sivina and joked with dissatisfaction: "What are you going to do now? Do you touch it bit by bit according to this rough outline?"
"How is that possible."
Sivi shook his head.
Although it will not take long to find a door with your own observation ability and luck, it will not take long to find it, but it will not take long to see what it compares to.
At least Xiwei thought he could try to find the entrance in the shortest three hours.
"I'm right. There should be more than one peripheral node in this barrier...that is, where we can enter. This node itself is supplied in and out, and it is impossible to be established in an empty place. So just check whether there are any pits, tree holes and other places at the edge, and you might be able to find surprises."
As he said that, he poked his head: "The slimes just now had coordinates on them. Once they were discovered, we can immediately teleport them over and test them directly!"
"You guy... are unexpectedly capable."
Hero couldn't help but sigh.
“I think the word surprise is redundant.”
Xiwei replied without raising her head.
Slime, who was scattered by Xiwei, was faithfully executing his orders. Once he found a place suspected to be an entrance, he would send a message to Xiwei... Of course, he would occasionally make jokes because these guys were relatively low in IQ, such as not long ago, using a yawning dragon mouth as an accessible cave. He notified Xiwei and the others to come over to experiment.
Xiwei and Hero also tried one by one. When they reached about 200, the first strange place finally appeared.
It was a tree hole, but from the outside it seemed that only two people hugged each other as thick as a tree, but the inside of the tree hole was as empty as a small room.
After studying the patterns on the walls, Siwei immediately discovered through LV5's linguistics that those words were ancient fairy texts, which are said to be adapted from the Rune text. Each word has wonderful power.
And if it is written by a fairy, these words will still have their own lives.
Xiwei also studied runes naturally, but after slightly typing a few ancient fairy words on the wall, the dense runes were as if gold suddenly flowed in, turning into golden colors.
Then the words separated from the trunk and wall and floated into the air. They began to combine themselves and eventually turned into long books like contracts.
"What is that? The spell?" Hero was very interested in the golden words.
"It's an ancient fairy text, and you are unlocking the door control key now... Simply put, you can enter it if you are recognized by the text."
With Xiwei's explanation, the ancient fairy text finally stopped turning, leaving only two new rows of empty spaces.
To be continued...
