The roots of the grass under his feet have turned yellow.

Jenny crouched down and stretched out her fingers to gently caress the completely dead blade of grass, as if she could feel its desperate wail before dying. But soon she got up again and walked on. As far as the eye can see, there are withered trees everywhere, and they have even lost their original brilliance, whether it is the twisted branches or the tangled shrubs, they all take on an eerie dark black. It's like the color of overflowing blood after it has dried up again, and just looking at it makes people feel depressed.

It's been two days since I entered this land of death.

For everyone, these two days seemed as long as a year. There was no chirping of birds, no animals in sight. The creek is no longer a clear stream, but a stinking dark green sewage. Everywhere on the surface of the river, you can see dead and rotting fish with their bellies turned up. The only living creatures that could be seen were swarms of buzzing flies. They are covered with a large number of people on the surface of the river, enjoying a fat meal that is probably only once in a lifetime. In the past two days, the people have not even eaten much food, especially when they see the mountains of wriggling maggots in the rotting corpses stranded on the riverbank, even the barbarian Boros, who has always had a good appetite, has eaten much less in the past two days.

"How far is it?"

Frowning at the rotting fish corpses crawling with flies, Boros looked at Alphin and asked. Orphen thought for a moment, then looked up and looked at her surroundings again. To be honest, everyone can see that Orphen is also a little uncertain at this time. It's no wonder who remembers where they ran in the dark of night when they were desperately trying to escape? Being able to remember the general direction is already considered smart and dexterous. If you want to be able to remember everything around you clearly when you are running for your life, it is better to find a robot. Therefore, everyone can only find it according to the route that Orphen and the others went into the forest patrol in the first place, which may waste some time. But at least there is an accurate direction, otherwise the Elven Forest is so big. If they really want to find it, they may find it when they will go.

"It's probably a day or two away."

Orphin glanced at the riverbank, and immediately looked away.

"I remember when we came, we used to cross this singing stream, but after that the teacher took us around the sea of dreamy flowers and then ............... north along the Dogante Mountains."

Hearing Orfen's words, no one responded, obviously, in such an environment. If someone is in the mood to talk and laugh, it's the problem. It was a dead land, and the only thing anyone could see was its decomposing corpse. It's a bad feeling, especially when you realize it's full of disgusting, rotting corpses.

"Let's rest here today."

Shortly after crossing the stream, Elaine coldly gave the order. The other four did not have the slightest objection, and they had not seen anything that could be called enemies along the way. I didn't see anything that moved other than bugs. Not only that, but the deeper they went inward, the more they felt that the air in front of them was filled with a sweet and greasy smell of rottenness, and even faintly disgusting. It is also not known whether this air is toxic or not. Luckily, before leaving, the Elven Queen gave each of them a leaf from the World Tree that they carried with them. The leaves are rumored to cover out all toxins and purify those contaminated by them. At least for now, this rumor has some credibility.

The gnome mage patted the construct beneath him. All the way, he sat on the shoulders of this construct, and let it move forward as a means of transportation for himself. Feeling the gnome mage's command, the massive humanoid steel structure half-crouched down. Then the dwarf mage walked down its arm and stretched. Orphen was already sitting on a dirt slope next to her. I took out the elf biscuit from the small bag beside me, and ate it in small gulps of water from the kettle -- even if the branches here were dry. It is also followed by a pungent poisonous mist.

It seems that the decision to send an adventuring party instead of a large number of people was the right choice, and in such a place where even breathing could kill people, it is indeed not suitable for too many people to come and die.

The originally tense air seemed to relax a lot at this time. But Jenny was the exception, she did not let her guard down like the others, on the contrary, she saw Jenny's figure flash, and the next moment she leaped up the branch, and then quickly swept around. Then she jumped down from the branch again, and then saw the longbow glowing with silver light silently appear on her right hand. And this scene also attracted the attention of the other four who had planned to rest here. They exchanged a puzzled look at each other, not understanding what the mysterious elven ranger was trying to do.

"Windranger-sama?"

At this moment, Orphin also looked at Jenny curiously, not understanding why she looked like a great enemy at this moment. Hearing Alfen's voice, Jenny also turned her head, glanced at her, and then asked.

"Orphen, I have a question for you."

"What's the problem?"

"Did you see the remains of animals when you passed by here before?"

"Yes."

Hearing Jenny's inquiry, Alphin immediately gave an answer without thinking.

"We saw a lot of dead animals, not only squirrels, rabbits, but even wolves and foxes everywhere. It's horrible............"

"So, did you dispose of the corpses?"

"This ............"

Faced with Jenny's next question, Alphin was stunned for a moment, as if she had just remembered something.

"No......... We were in a hurry, so we didn't dispose of the bodies............ Originally, according to the teacher, the corpses should have been burned. But because there are so many of them........."

At this moment, Orphen was still stunned, but the other three people who were originally indifferent to this immediately changed their expressions after hearing Orfen's answer!! At this time, they finally realized that something was not right, according to Orfen, there must be a lot of animal carcasses here. In fact, even if you don't see it with your own eyes, you can deduce from this tragic scene in front of you that since even trees and plants are no match for this terrible plague, then those animals will naturally have no exceptions. In fact, they did see a lot of rotting and stinky corpses along the way -- but they were dead fish in the water. But what about other than that? What about the carcasses of birds and animals? If the birds could fly, they might have fled before disaster struck. What about other animals? Why hadn't they seen the carcasses of those animals since they walked into the plague land?

If everyone was confused by this desolate scenery before, now when they heard Jenny's inquiry, they were also suddenly excited, and the confused feeling that had been brought about by going deep into this place of death immediately disappeared, and was replaced by a kind of fear mixed with a cold chill.

What about the carcasses of those animals?

"Whoosh!!"

It was too late, almost instantly, to see Jenny raise her right hand, and the next moment a silver light flashed. Arrows of light flew out of Jenny's bowstring and into the ground not far behind Orphin. And then I heard only a soft "bang". The originally smooth dirt slope exploded, and then a tattered python flew out of it and fell heavily to the ground. Its head had been thoroughly pierced by silver arrows, leaving only a large blood hole. And even so, the python struggled desperately for a few times, and then fell to the ground and died motionless -- no, it may not be true, because judging by the signs of corruption on the python's body, it should have died a long time ago.

"Huh? This is? ”

Looking at the scene in front of her, Orphin was also stunned, but before she could react, Jenny had already come to Alfen's side with an arrow, grabbed her right hand, and forcibly pulled Alphin off the dirt slope. And just as Alphen was pulled up by Jenny, the dirt slope behind her suddenly cracked, and then, a pair of bloody claws stretched out from it and quickly grabbed Alphen's back!!

"Whoosh!!"

Three more silver rays of light flashed together, and the arrows that flew out of Jenny's hands mercilessly pierced through the bloody claws, preventing the opponent from further attacking. Then I saw Jenny wrap her backhand around Orfen's slender waist, and the whole person jumped backwards, but saw that she grabbed a dead vine like this, and jumped to the branch next to her.

"Quick, hide in the trees!!"

At this time, the others finally noticed the problem, and Elaine gave the order almost immediately without hesitation, and then saw her figure turn, and the next moment she was wrapped around the branch, and quickly climbed a big tree beside her. And the barbarian warrior next to him also grabbed the dwarf mage and jumped up another big tree quickly.

And almost at the same time, the ground beneath their feet suddenly cracked, and the next moment, countless pairs of death claws burst out of the ground! (To be continued.) )
