The surrounding scenery changed unknowingly, the towering, silent black granite cliffs disappeared, replaced by an open canyon filled with gray mist. In the mist, there was a decaying forest, with gray branches, like the short-whisked bark walking in front - the tall tree man took several meters every step, but it walked very slowly, so the people behind could still keep up.

The tree man looked at the withered woodland with silent eyes, and the woodland was dead, like a cemetery of trees. This atmosphere also affected others. No one spoke, and silence spread among the crowd. The cliff retreated a few hundred meters away, and some huge, withered roots passed through everyone's head like bridges.

Walking into the woods, the short beard slowly stopped, and it turned around and looked at the others. "We are safe, but after entering this woods, you still need to follow me closely, be careful not to get lost in the woods."

The crowd also stopped.

Yamatolan asked, “Where is this place?”

"This was once where we lived." The short beard said in a rough voice, then stopped talking. It turned around and pulled up and continued to move forward.

At this time, Reed walked up from behind and said to the leader: "Mr. Yamatolan, since this place is safe, our mission has almost been completed."

"You are leaving?" Yamatolan was stunned, "Don't you follow?"

"We have something else to deal with."

Yamatolan looked at the Lion Paladin with some confusion. There were crystal monsters everywhere outside, and the forest looked extremely strange. He couldn't think of anything the other party could do in such a place.

But that was someone else's business. He knew that he had no right to ask more questions, nodded and said, "Okay, thank you. We will not break our promises about the remuneration."

Although these people who claim to be mercenaries spoke loudly, the conditions proposed by the other party were very attractive - after all, they didn't have to pay with real money and silver, they just needed to use the ore below to compensate. Although this ore vein is also the property of the guild, they are not legal income after all.

What's more, the crystal veins below have amazing reserves, and high-quality crystals are almost like they are free to pick them up. The rewards they ask for are nothing.

In the previous battle, the scene where those crystal monsters were pouring over the sky in the end was still heartbreaking. If it weren't for these people's intervention, they would have been really hard to get out of the trap.

"I believe Mr. Yamatolan will not go back on his word."

"But when are you going to come and get it?"

"When you are ready, we will be in the neighborhood."

Aren't you passing by? Yamatolan complained in her heart, but still nodded.

Reed bowed gracefully to everyone, then said goodbye and left. Yamatolan looked at the back of the big cat man, his heart was full of doubts, and he didn't know where to start - when did such a powerful mercenary group appear in the south of Nognes?

Although it is still a question whether the other party is a mercenary, he cannot even tell whether the other party is a team of the recruiters. At least this Lion Paladin should be an indigenous person in terms of demeanor and behavior, and the Virtue Knight is really rare today.

He thought he was quite familiar with this area and knew most of the famous teams that were active in this area- but Aitalia really surprised people all the time.

"Was that knight gone?"

A gentle voice came from behind him.

Yamatolan turned around and saw the girl of Nightingale coming out of the crowd. "Rainbow, where did you go just now?" he asked suspiciously.

"I went to count the situation of the Nightingale team, and seven people died and three injured." Alice frowned and said with a little concern.

It was time to count the manpower, Yamatolan nodded. As a veteran, he liked such a serious and responsible team leader.

...

"The big cat is back!"

Sky blue and sharp-eyed, the first person to see the Lion Paladin who walked out of the fog.

Reed smiled, stretched out his big furry claws and gestured to her. Tianlan grimaced at him and turned around to run, but was grabbed back by the former and then patted her on the head.

Reed looked up at Fang Yu, "Have you released your eyeliner?"

Fang Yu raised his gloves, shook it at him, and nodded. He had already released the clockwork fairy. At this moment, the clockwork fairy that had taken off the air not only allowed the entire misty canyon, but also clearly visible to the tree man leading the way and Yamatolan and his group.

It’s a pity that he didn’t lower his vision, otherwise he might have found an acquaintance among those people. But he found that the level of the Holy White Stone Guild was not bad, and he was worried that the clockwork fairy would fly too low and would be noticed by the other party’s ranger, so he thought about it and gave up.

The so-called "there is still something to be done is just a cover. They just don't want to contact these people too early and let the time reflect the news and not contact their companions for the time being. This is also due to this consideration. After all, they are sensitive at the moment, and Fang Yushi will not forget the lessons of Orenze for a while.

Of course, a big cat is nothing, and the wilderness people are not rare in Kaorin-Ishurien. Moreover, humans often lack an intuitive understanding of races other than themselves. Simply put, they are face-blind. Even if the wanted order is placed in front of them, they may not be able to confirm that the Lion Paladin in front of them is the person on the wanted order.

After all, the wanted warrant was filmed a year ago, and during this period, the Big Catman's equipment has been replaced for several rounds.

"Where are those crystal monsters?" Reid asked again.

"They're parked outside." Silweid said with a smile.

“Stopped outside?”

"There seems to be an invisible boundary outside this forest. When those monsters arrive there, they will automatically stop moving forward, Mr. Reid." Fang Yu adjusted his eyepiece and replied.

“It looks like this is a holy place.”

The shipmaster looked around and said, "In Asuka, Xiesta and I have been to such a place. The local lizards built a shelter in the valley, making the evil forces in the rainforest dare not step in a moment."

"The Temple of Order, the Land of Sages, I have also heard of such places. The former rejects chaos and the latter resists evil. This is a kind of camp protection force," Reed twisted his bristle with his claws. "But artificial creatures like constructing creatures do not have camp preferences in themselves."

"I get it," Parker cried out loudly, "this is a natural sanctuary, resisting all unnatural things."

"I have never heard of a sanctuary like that, Parker."

"Then you heard about it now."

"Very good," Tianlan said angrily: "I suggest throwing this Paparal out first, so as not to dirty Goddess Aimeya's eyes."

"But this is indeed Ms. Aimeya's woodland." Tang Xin suddenly spoke at this time.

Everyone couldn't help but look at her.

"Do you have any sense?" Fang Rong asked. Tangtang was the pastor of Milera. Friendly believers of God should have some sense when they enter other God-sects' realms.

Tang Xin nodded.

"Is it really the reason for the holy land?" Jita asked in a low voice.

"Look, I mean." Parker was proud.

"It's just that the blind cat hit the dead mouse." Tianlan immediately retorted.

"But it's not sure," but Silmide shook his head himself, "There's also possible that there's another reason."

Fang Yu turned around and looked at his shipmaster lady: "Silweid, what did you find?"

"Ship Captain knows the concept of the territory of the beasts. It is possible that there is a more powerful existence here, which makes those Jingxi beasts dare not move forward easily."

Fang Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and suddenly remembered the sound from the spiritual world he heard before entering this place. Could the powerful existence here be the owner of that sound?

Unfortunately, Miss Tata stayed on the boat, otherwise he could ask for the other party’s opinions. Without the assistance of the fairy lady for a while, he felt as if his IQ had been reduced by half.

As for Nini, Fang Zhu glanced at the little girl who was curled up, hugging her tail, and holding her fingers in her heart. After thinking about it, she would just forget it.

If the little guy wakes up, she will probably get angry. And Nini, who is still in the dentistry stage, may not be able to explain clearly what happened.

But since those Jingxi beasts are so afraid of the powerful existence here, how could the owner of that voice ask them for help?

Or is it that only the lower Jingxi Beast can perform like this? And there may be some more powerful individuals in Jingxi Beast who are not afraid of the owner here?

He couldn't help but think of the mysterious commander behind the Jingxi Beasts described in the log. In fact, he still remembered the larger Jingxi Beasts he saw not long ago. Although they did not lean over from afar, Fang Zhu could still feel the terrifying aura on the other party.

And are those who are the most superior Jingxi Beasts? Fang Rong had a voice in his heart telling him that this is probably not the case.

The big cat man looked at the others and asked again: "Where are the walnuts underground?"

"They are behind and will follow soon."

Tianlan replied.

In fact, the walnuts underground were reflecting with time. They made a simple stretcher from the branches of trees behind and placed the latter on it.

Betty was hanging behind the team alone. In Red's opinion, the girl was surprisingly brave. In fact, she had acted much more calmer than others along the way.

"What a strange girl." Reed thought.

...

With the help of the clockwork fairies in the air, they always followed the team of Yamatolan.

However, not long after walking, the surrounding scenery changed again.

Everyone actually saw a ray of light deep in the ground. This underground world gradually became wider and wider from the dividing line of the valley outside. The canyons on both sides gradually retreated, and the rock layers above their heads also rose higher and higher until they disappeared beyond the dark and deep vision.

When the underground crack arrives here, a huge rock cavity is formed, as if it is formed into a single body, forming a vast world under the ground.

And in the center of that world, they actually saw a sun emitting a soft light.

"Oh my God," Tianlan's eyes widened, "What is that!"

The ball of light hung high in the air, sprinkling endless light onto the entire dark underground space. The withered woodland gradually disappeared, and green gradually appeared around it.

The woodland seemed to be reviving, drawing tender branches from under the barren land, and green grass leaves sprouted from the gray blocks of soil and gradually connected into one. There are even rivers in the underground world. After passing through a natural wooden bridge above the gurgling river surface, there is a golden meadow ahead.

Under the illumination of the sun that seemed to be inextinguishable, dense shade of trees enveloped the roads in the forest, covering the flowers by the river, and even flying butterflies.

Tianlan even saw the white deer in the forest. The other party stood tall with long horns and black gem-like eyes, staring at them with a vigilant look that looked at strangers.

Then the elves in the forest turned around and disappeared into the bushes.

She was so surprised that she could hardly close her mouth.

"I can't believe it." Jita also murmured to himself in a low voice.

Tang Xin was also looking at the underground forest land-

There are many arguments that Stargate is just another form of existence compared to the human world. It cannot be said to be unreal, but it cannot be said to be a fictional world.

After all, this universe still has too many unknown secrets for humans.
