Night Ranger

Marvin turned his head suddenly, but saw that the open space behind him was empty. ,

That weird voice seemed to come out of nowhere.

"who?"

He asked loudly, his hands already on the scimitar.

His eyes were full of vigilance. When the other party spoke just now, I didn't feel it at all.

But then there was silence.

That voice never appeared again.

Marvin checked the data panel carefully, and found that there was no check for illusion.

That voice exists objectively, but it's just a little weird.

Marvin snorted coldly, didn't care so much at the moment, and went directly into the logging forest.

He wasn't that timid, he didn't dare to go into the forest after being frightened a few times.

...

In the forest, it was dark.

Compared with the forest of Chiba, the trees in the logging forest appear taller.

But unlike the gloomy and vibrant feeling of the forest where the elves live, the trees in the entire logging forest look tall and deformed.

The wrinkled bark is like the faces of old people, strange and indifferent, making people look extremely uncomfortable.

I don't know how those loggers work in such an environment.

Marvin knew nothing about the forest. In fact, logging forests are on the same level as wilderness in the danger rating of many intelligence agencies, and even one level higher than dead zone.

So he was still very cautious. At first, he went up the river.

There are many abandoned lumberyards on both sides of the river. After all, this is a place where lumberjacks often work, so there is no danger.

Otherwise, those ordinary humans would not be able to survive here for a long time.

The only thing that annoyed Marvin was. The forest is endless, and the breadcrumbs are gone at the entrance of the forest. It is really difficult to track the traces of butterflies.

He went up the river. Some scattered humans encountered along the way are lumberjacks whose minds have been corrupted by the magic of chaos.

Marvin showed no mercy to them.

This world is so cruel, they failed to survive and turned into monsters. If they are allowed to wander here, it will only cause more harm to others.

Marvin traveled all the way, and finally, he found a strange comb by the side of a lumber yard.

"Elf's comb."

The comb sits on a rock between the lumbermill and the river. very conspicuous.

Obviously, this is a signal for Die to stay on purpose.

Maybe she ran out of bread crumbs and had to find another way for Marvin to track her down.

"She knew I'd go up the river..."

"There were crumbs and combs left along the way, which proves that she was still sane when she was doing these things."

"What the hell is this guy trying to do?"

But no matter what, now that he got the marker, Marvin finally has the direction to continue tracking.

In the next second, he started night tracking without hesitation.

Sure enough, the thin red line in the field of vision. Impressively, it directly pointed to the depths of the forest.

This time, Marvin had no choice but to leave the river and go deep into the forest.

According to the night tracking, the butterfly should not be far away from him.

What is she doing?

The answer may soon be revealed.

It was just when Marvin was about to enter the depths of the forest. The sinister voice sounded again:

"If I were you, I wouldn't be misled by others."

"This forest is a dead place. How many loggers died here. But people outside don't know."

"The alliance only regards this place as a place for them to make money, but they don't care about the life and death of the people. Trust me. Go in, and you will die."

Marvin turned suddenly and looked around.

Still no one!

"Who are you?" Marvin asked in a deep voice.

On the surface. He didn't make any moves, but secretly, he had already activated [Sensing the Earth]!

In the next second, vivid creatures appeared in Marvin's mind.

He could feel the salmon swimming in the river, the crabs running across the river bank, the floating weeds... and the hideous trees!

In an instant, he seemed to understand something.

Although the voice did not speak again, Marvin's gaze had already locked on the other party!

That is a very ugly tree!

"I thought it was something..."

Marvin sneered and said, "So it's [Whispering Dryad]."

The other party was still silent for a while.

But all of this is irrelevant. Marvin has figured out the source of the sound, so he will not be disturbed by them.

In fact, the whispering dryad is not a natural creature, it is said to be a creature created by the evil dragon Tidomas, now the second lord of the evil spirit world, with magic, curses and dryads.

Whispering Dryad has no attack power, he can only scare you.

This kind of creature was already rare in Feinan, but there were quite a few of them in the logging forest.

Presumably people's rumors about the devil were made by these dryads.

As Marvin was the master of the night, the other party naturally had no way to do anything about him, so they could only use threats constantly.

It's their instinct.

However, as long as you think backwards and reason, you can't think that no matter who planted these whispering dryads here, there must be a very important secret in this forest.

A dark secret.

Marvin's curiosity suddenly intensified.

At the moment, he didn't care what the tree spirit whispered, and rushed directly into the forest.

...

The dark forest may feel uncomfortable to others.

But for the master of the night and the night walker, they are like ducks in water.

Marvin's speed was not affected by the terrain at all.

After running for an hour, Marvin finally got close to the goal.

"This guy can really run."

Marvin roughly estimated that he had definitely gone deep into the logging forest, and this area should be the core of the logging forest.

Butterfly ran to this place, what on earth did she come for?

With this mentality in mind, Marvin continued to move forward.

A gap appeared in the bushes not far away.

Marvin crossed lightly.

In the next second, a piece of ruins under the cover of tree branches appeared in front of Marvin.

He froze immediately.

Pieces of ancient inscriptions were scattered on the edge of the ruins.

One after another, ancient and strange signs appeared before Marvin's eyes.

In the center of the ruins, a torn altar seems to be telling the vicissitudes of time.

"This is……"

"This is a temple!"

Marvin suddenly felt a little parched.

Logging forests, colorful dragons, temples in ruins...

All this seemed familiar to him.

"Is it really [Wrath of the Dragon God]?"

He said silently in his heart: "Then, this ruin is not only the temple of the five-color dragon god, but also his burial place..."

At this moment, a hand suddenly patted on his shoulder!
