The hero I support will definitely defeat the devil

"The approximate range given by the ranger is right here, and it's only a day's journey away from where we were at the time. If we had searched a wider area, we would have found the ruins."

"Ilsa, how did you know we were here?"

Lisha had no idea that the location on the map was where they were at the time, after all, there was no landmark at all.

"We're here now."

Ilsa said, pointing to a spot on the map that was the most obvious guide.

"I have calculated how far we have traveled, so I can determine a range with a rough estimate."

Although it is not that accurate, the error will not be too huge, unless they accidentally entered a barrier or secret realm.

"You can actually calculate this kind of thing?"

Angela, who came back with a bunch of materials, said in surprise.

"I just vaguely felt something was wrong at the time, so I recorded it."

Ilsa looked at the materials in Angela's arms.

"How about it?"

"Not bad. They are all good high-grade materials. I estimate that they have taken out at least half of what they harvested before."

Angela handed the materials to Lisha.

"We took a lot of detours on our way back, didn't we? Can we really figure that out?"

"That's why I said it was an approximate range, and it was quite vague."

Ilsa said helplessly.

"I was a little angry just now. After all, we were lost for so long, and the destination was right in front of us, but we went around in circles and ended up back at the starting point. I don't think anyone would not be angry."

"That's true. I'm a little angry after hearing that."

Angela smacked her lips.

So she hated the kind of mission assignments that required her to find the target by herself, because it took too much time to search.

"It's okay actually. If we had really encountered ruins, it's hard to say whether we could have gotten through them given our condition at that time. Isn't it good to rest now?"

Ai Lan comforted everyone softly.

"Ai Lan is right. Our condition and mood were not very good at that time."

Except for Lisha, the other four were not gold-level professionals after all, so the fatigue caused by the continuous journey and the anxiety and anger caused by getting lost were both fatal problems in the battle.

"Anyway, we have the destination information, so we can relax a little now."

Lisha said as she sat back down next to the cauldron.

She put those high-level materials into her inventory.

"We can't relax. Don't forget that this is the Night Forest. The parasitic seeds of the demon tree are something that is very difficult to guard against."

Ilsa sternly warned Lisha and other teammates.

"I remember that there aren't many magic trees in the Night Forest that have the ability to parasitize seeds, right?"

Lisha looked at Alan.

"Indeed, there are not many. Many adventurers were infected when they first explored the Night Forest. Later, the Adventurer's Guild sent a large number of high-level adventurers to clean up the magic trees that have the ability to parasitize seeds. And every certain number of years, they will regularly send high-level adventurers to clean up. So now the Night Forest is much safer than it was at the beginning. At least there are fewer magic trees with parasitic abilities."

Since Ailan is an elf, she knows a lot about plants, so she naturally knows the information about the demonized trees.

"And the parasitic seeds are not as harmful to Silver-rank professionals as one might imagine. As long as one is aware of prevention, it is very difficult to be parasitized. Even if one is parasitized by parasitic seeds, as long as it is in the early stages, the parasitic seeds can be removed by cutting out that part of the flesh and blood. After that, just treat the wound in time. The truly hopeless ones are those who don't know they are parasitized. By the time they discover it, it is too late, and the flesh and blood have merged with the germinated seeds and become symbiotic. Even if one finds a way to remove the seeds, the parasite will die as if they have lost an important organ."

"Are there no advanced parasites who can be saved?"

Meililu asked with some reluctance.

"Well, I remember that this parasitic seed doesn't seem to be effective against legends."

Ai Lan gave an answer that was equivalent to saying nothing.

"If this thing can work on legends, isn't it terrifying?!"

Lisha couldn't help but complain.

Chapter 394 Finally Arrived

"So that adventure team was just unlucky?"

Angela also followed suit and complained.

"You can say that, but I think they probably encountered an accident and lost their composure, so the parasitic magic tree took advantage of them."

Ilsa accidentally told the truth.

"Okay, forget about that, let's eat first."

Lisha said that there was still a lot of rice in the big pot and it would get cold if they didn't eat it.

“Lisha, that’s all. No more.”

Ilsa didn't want to watch Lisha eat here all day.

"Okay~"

Lisha squinted her eyes and ate her meal with big mouthfuls.

After the hearty meal, Lisha's team rested for a while, and then began to move forward along the guided path.

Compared to the previous random walking, it is much easier to walk along the guided path.

Although the road is winding, it is safe and smooth.

Everyone noticed that as long as they didn't stray too far from the guiding path, the monsters would not attack.

To be more precise, monsters will not approach the guidance path.

This is amazing.

Adventurers have different opinions on why the Guiding Path has such a magical effect.

Some people say that several legendary wizards have joined forces to set up a permanent legendary barrier on this road, which can drive away those monsters and prevent them from approaching.

Some people also said that it was the work of three legendary druids, who permanently hid the road so that the monsters could not find the guiding path.

Some people said that the road under their feet was not actually a road, but the corpse of a lord-level monster. It was a snake-like monster that was killed by several legendary warriors. The Adventurer's Guild spent a lot of manpower and material resources to turn this lord-level monster into a treasure comparable to a divine weapon, and then spread it in the Night Forest, forming this magical guiding road.

In addition to these three mainstream theories, there are many other theories, but they are relatively unpopular and have little market.

Lisha's team also discussed this issue during their journey.

Ailan and Meililu both believed the second theory, that the legendary druids hid the road, because the Guiding Path did have a similar effect.

Ilsa and Angela thought the first statement made sense. Ilsa simply found it convincing, while Angela knew that there were similar barriers in the church, but the effects were not so exaggerated and the cost was quite high.

Only Lisha thought that the third explanation was the most likely.

You Ze also agreed with this.

Because in the White Tower the third approach is the most likely and cost-effective approach.

It is almost impossible for a legendary to kill a lord-level monster, but if two or three legends unite, they can chase the lord-level monster everywhere. If there are five legends, it is not impossible to kill a lord-level monster.

Although the Adventurer's Guild has not stated it explicitly, 90% of the legends on the entire Enderol continent are being explored and suppressed by the White Tower's top brass. The legends that remain on the Enderol continent are either nearing the end of their lives or have important missions to accomplish and cannot leave.

In this case, it is relatively easy to get a lord-level monster to suppress other monsters in the Night Forest and prevent them from approaching the road where the Adventurer's Guild is building.

In particular, Yuze discovered through Lisha's eyes that the building materials of the Guidance Road were very unusual. They were a special alloy that could suppress magic power and guide the aura to radiate. There was also a huge, almost solidified source of magic power 20 meters underground. This magic power ran through the entire Guidance Road and seemed to extend all the way to its end.

However, Yuze did not let Lisha tell anyone else about this.

There should be quite a few professionals who can see this. As long as they can reach the gold level, even a warrior can more or less feel that something is wrong.

But no one mentioned this, which proves that the Adventurer's Guild does not want too many people to know about this.

So Yuze asked Lixia to keep it a secret.

Lisha nodded repeatedly. She also understood that such things should not be said casually.

After another week of traveling, Lisha's team arrived at the guide road next to their destination.

However, they did not set out for their destination immediately, but chose to rest for a night and set out the next morning.

The closer you get to the ruins, the thicker the white fog becomes.

In the end, Lisha's team's visibility was less than five meters.

Such a distance cannot even prevent sneak attacks from some steel-level monsters.

Fortunately, everyone in Lisha's team has amazing perception abilities, and they can detect changes in the surrounding environment even in such a foggy day.

Especially Ilsa and Lisha, one of them has a keen sense, and the other has amazing intuition, and they are not afraid of sneak attacks at all.

There were also some monsters that launched sneak attacks, but they were all easily dealt with by Lisha's team.

Finally, after walking for a day and a night, Lisha's team arrived at the destination they were looking for, the ruins mentioned in the mission commission.

"Is this right here?"

Lisha asked Ilsa quietly.

"Yes, this is it."

Ilsa took out the map and compared it with it, then took out Tierre's previous description of the ruins and read it again.

"Look at those two huge pillars, it must be here."

"That's good. It would be embarrassing if we entered the wrong ruins."

Lisha glanced at the map, confirmed the target, and said excitedly.

"Let's go in quickly."

"Wait a minute, there are a lot of monsters here."

Ailan quickly grabbed Lisha.

In her perception, there were many magic trees taking root around the ruins alone.

There are also some parasitic golems wandering around the surrounding areas.

"They are not very strong, why don't we just attack them directly?"

Lisha actually noticed it, but since most of them were red iron monsters, Lisha didn’t care at all.

"These monsters and parasitic puppets are actually cannon fodder for warning. Once we are discovered by these things, what do you think will be waiting for us when we rush to the center of the ruins?"

Ilsa sternly held Lisha's shoulders to prevent her from rushing out.

"A large number of enemies?"

Lisha tilted her head and said.

"You also know that there are a large number of enemies? Do you think you can deal with them all?"

Ilsa looked at Lisha unhappily.

When will Lisha stop being so reckless?

"Wouldn't it be fine if we just had to make a quick decision? Ilsa, do you think we can sneak in?"

No matter how Lisha thought about it, it seemed impossible to sneak in.

"Ilsa, I think what Lisha said makes sense. We are not good at stealth."

Angelina nodded in agreement.

Apart from the ranger Ilsa, only Alan, as an elf with a natural affinity for nature, could hide his figure a little in the woods, but that was all.

As for herself, Merilu, and Lisha, they couldn't hide at all.
