Dawn of Another World

"Everyone watch your feet."

Prophet Gigi led a team of 15 people, climbing along a narrow path that only allowed two people to walk side by side at the widest point.Along the way, small pieces of rubble continued to crack from under the feet accompanied by warning voices. The stones bounced a few times at most, and then fell straight down into the bottomless canyon abyss shrouded in black mist. There was no echo at all. .

From a distance, on the gray-black steep cliff with a height of [-] meters, a group of people turned into a row of small black spots, slowly wriggling.Although it is difficult and dangerous, this is the only way to continue to go deep into the hinterland of the mountain that was discovered three days ago.

Ling Xiao and the others were the first team to enter the Eye of Thales within five days.In addition to hunting nearly 300 Dreadclaw ground beasts on the first day and obtaining a bumper harvest, on the second day, the entire team only harvested some common beasts and beast-level prey sporadically. Although it cannot be said that they returned empty-handed, But compared with the amount of the first day, it is nothing to mention.

The news about this large-scale inner eye rift of the wind system has already been sent back to various tribes in the Saofeng Plain. With a large number of additional missions released, more and more orcs began to gather and enter.

Due to the increasing number of teams entering the rift, some stronger teams have already set off to go deep into the Eye of Thales.

On the third day, when Ling Xiao and his team left the wind moss field on the outer edge early in the morning, they had already seen many people who entered later were collecting wind moss and the frost salt crystals under the roots of the wind moss.Fortunately, when the hunting ended early the next day, Ling Xiao and Basil, who were free, took the little guy Lim to dig and collect a sufficient amount of wind moss and frost salt, and the little guy had left happily Hill of Ruins, go back and turn in the quest.

And the hunting of the Eye of the Wind is still going on.

Going through this wind moss field and several Buguimu forests, behind the desolate Baisha Gobi, there is a vast mountain stretching continuously and standing tall.In the past three days, the team led by Jiji has been wandering in this mountainous area.

After a few days of cooperation and running-in, the team members gradually became familiar with each other and cooperated very well.The rich hunting results also allowed the team members to complete the tasks that were rigidly assigned to them early.When the entire team is now hunting again, every time the task quota is exceeded, they can get double rewards, and there is no upper limit.It is true that those who are able get more, and speak with strength.

For these officially assigned teams, this is also an additional discount and compensation from each tribe. After all, no orc warrior is willing to do this kind of hard work just because of the poor final reward for completing the assigned task.

"Everyone take a break."

When everyone climbed up a rocky platform protruding from the cliff, Prophet Jiji waved his hand to signal the team to stop and rest.In this steep mountain, you may encounter all kinds of beasts and even beast-level creatures at any time. It is impossible for the team members to maintain sufficient physical strength and good condition at all times.

"My lord, drink some water." Miya, the guard beside her, quickly brought a skin bag and handed it to Jiji.

After reaching out to take a few sips of water and ordering Mia to go to the side to rest, Jiji glanced out of the corner of her eye, but let him see a strange scene, "Ling Xiao, Basil, come here—"

Seeing his silly apprentice and Ling Xiao obediently approaching, Jiji asked a little curiously: "What are you two doing, why don't you go down to the edge of the cliff without rest?"

"Ling Xiao wants to see it." Nodding to the Prophet Jiji, Basil said this dryly with a pale face.

Well, Ling Xiao wants to see, so you just follow.Having said this, it is equivalent to not saying it.Jiji ignored Basil, turned to the other side and asked, "Ling Xiao, did you find anything else?"

Not to mention that the prophet Jiji cares about it, Ling Xiao is now the treasure of the whole group—shortly since entering this mountainous area the day before yesterday, everyone has just worked together to eliminate a ten-meter-long beast in a cave on the mountainside A super ground-cutting giant mountain spider.After removing the chelicerae from the big guy's body, the poison gland sac was carefully sealed up, and then the team members who had disassembled and collected the torso discovered that Ling Xiao and Basil had disappeared.

A group of people searched for a long time along the hints and some footprints specially left by Ling Xiao, before they found the two people who were banging in the depths of the curved cave.Ling Xiao, who was disheveled all over and looked rather embarrassed, moved away while speaking, and pointed to a crack in the rock that had been dug carefully.When everyone saw it, their eyes were instantly blinded—it was a complete spar vein!

The rest of the team, who were still rejoicing at hunting an adult giant mountain spider just now, looked at the sky speechlessly. In front of such an extremely pure energy spar deposit, what is a giant mountain spider? A hundred ground-cutting giant mountain spiders came, but it didn't matter.

You must know that the energy spar is a rare thing known as "colorful gold that can walk" and "heart of stone with life".

Although the entire Terra Continent and some of the cracks produce from time to time, if you don't know the way to find it, even if you spend your whole life, you may not be able to dig a piece!Except for the Cuban Sasol businessmen who mastered top-secret exploration methods, only the ancient Asain people who lived in highland caves and lived on mining and metallurgy for generations could occasionally find them.These rare and precious little things, they will not stay in one place for a long time, but have consciousness, and can walk around in the deep underground or among the mountains.

A group of people were in chaos, so they hurriedly started digging. Although the spar mine that Ling Xiao and Basil found was not very large in reserves, the purity was very high.

What's even more surprising is that Ling Xiao, who discovered this vein, only took two energy spars for himself and Basil.After changing hands, he gave up all the remaining dozen or so crystals, expressing that they would distribute them equally to other members of the regiment.

This is not a small stone that can be picked up everywhere on the Saofeng Plain!These rare crystals can be sold at a high price no matter whether they are sold or sold. Even if the whole group is distributed on average, it is a considerable income, enough to upgrade and upgrade all the equipment of each soldier.

Without any intention of elevating himself or despising giving to others, Ling Xiao gave a very simple and practical reason: If everyone did not work together to hunt down the monster-level giant mountain spider that blocked the way, only he and Basil Personally, it is impossible to bypass it later and go deeper into the cave to explore these energy spars.

For Ling Xiao, the orc warriors who are used to practicing martial arts with respect, from the initial doubts and curiosity, to the later awe and caution, and finally to the truly convincing respect.This black-haired young man who looks powerless and weak on the outside has a noble character that makes people have to admire.

Strong force can make people admire and follow.Those with noble souls can also gain the sincere admiration of others.

After getting along with him for just a few days, this young man with black hair and green eyes was always able to treat him sincerely even in the face of reckless inquiries from everyone.And the team members who gradually felt this sincerity, there is no one who doesn't like him.

"Lord Ling Xiao, what's wrong?"

Scattered on the wide platform, the soldiers who were resting on the spot heard the Prophet Jiji's inquiry, and gathered together in a circle, talking in a hurry.

"No, no." Being surrounded by a group of tall and rough orc hula rings, he looked like a little rabbit surrounded by many layers. Ling Xiao, who was overwhelmed by such enthusiasm, could only wave his hands again and again, "I just feel that Just curious."

The protruding rock platform I am currently on looks abnormally smooth as if it has been cut and polished by something.Looking down at the shape of the entire cliff, it is exactly the same as the surrounding mountains-no vegetation, the gray-black bare mountain surface, and the rocks are extremely smooth and flat.Regarding the cause of such a landform, Ling Xiao did have some doubts, and there was something inexplicably wrong in his heart, but he couldn't say anything for a while.

The sky was as gloomy as ever.

I don't know if it's because of entering the highlands in the mountains, but Ling Xiao always feels that the thick and hazy clouds seem to be pressing down lower and lower.The ominous Eye of Thales, which exudes a pale light, still does not increase or decrease, and it seems to be stretching and turning forever in that unreachable front.

"Master Jiji, are all the eyes of the wind like this?"

Seeing that the team members sat down and rested again, and the prophet Gigi cast a puzzled expression on his question, Ling Xiao hurriedly added: "I mean, the inside of the eye of Thales, the wind element , is this the case now?"

"It's different, Master Ling Xiao."

The people who were listening with interest shook their heads after hearing Ling Xiao's doubts.Mia took the water bag that Jiji handed back, smiled, and continued to say: "I have also followed the Prophet to complete a lot of tasks for the Eye of the Wind. In fact, it is not only the wind element, but also other types of Thales. Including the Eye, the situation is different every time."

"That's right! Even with the smallest Eye of Thales, the situation encountered is different every time."

"Yeah, the wind inside some Eyes of the Wind is very strong!"

"However, it's the first time I've seen a situation like this time. The whirlwind in the river valley outside looks scary, but it's very stuffy inside."

"Now that we are on such a high mountain, we still don't even have the slightest wind. It's really suffocating after staying for a long time!"

When everyone said something to me, they all opened up the conversation box.And Ling Xiao happily took Basil to sit down together, and listened carefully to the team members telling about their adventures——

"One time, my brother and I entered a certain wind-type Thales Eye with a group. It was a very small outer eye. But after entering, there was a wind hole on the ground near the center. Good guy, the wind can sharp!"

"That time, Ryder almost lost his life!" The bearded Gail patted his younger brother Ryder's shoulder vigorously. Judging by his expression, he seemed to be stuck in reminiscence of the past, "We are tracking a A double-headed horned eagle came to the central wind cave, and it was probably the only beast in the small wind eye. After a hard fight, everyone in the team was defeated, but the horned eagle was also killed by us. Severely injured, it flew forward in a panic in order to escape, and in the end, it didn't see the front clearly, and crashed into the wind hole!"

"and then?"

"Then..." The burly middle-aged man seemed to still have lingering fears, paused, and under the urging of everyone, Gail took a deep breath and continued: "Then there was a rain of blood, then Don't mention how disgusting it is! The two-headed horned eagle accidentally crashed into the wind cave, and before it could even scream, it was smashed to pieces in an instant, and the meat and bones were sprayed all over the sky, drenching us all over!"

"Uh——" Facing Gail's scribbled, unusually vivid description, the rest of the people who were listening to his narration also had expressions of discomfort on their faces for a moment.

"Shortly after the horned eagle was crushed, the entire Eye of Thales was suddenly closed. At that time, our brothers were still very young, but after so many years, we have never encountered a wind cave like that again..."

With a sigh, the two bushy eyebrows drooped, and the face under the beard was also bitter. Gail touched his chin, and finally concluded: "In fact, it's good if we didn't meet. That hunting was very bad anyway, blind After working for a long time, in the end, I didn’t even touch a bird’s feather!”

"puff--"

The tense atmosphere that was originally heard at the climax was instantly broken by Gail's last sentence.

Even Ling Xiao couldn't help being amused by that sad face and witty words.But it didn't take long for everyone to be happy. On the platform where the team was resting and moving forward, at the other end of the canyon-from far to near, there was a burst of screaming that made people's eardrums sting.
