Lightning turned out the "expedition supplies" he had brought with him and checked them again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fire sickles, flintvel, bandages, daggers, maps, and a bag of dry food stuffed with beef floss.

"What about yours?" she said, looking at Maisie, "check it too." ”

"Goo!"

Maisie reached into her satchel, which was usually hidden under her shaggy hair, making it difficult to see how much could fit inside, and the clothes and satchel seemed to disappear into thin air as if they had disappeared into a bird. Compared to the strict weight restrictions on her flight, Maisie doesn't seem to be affected much by this, as evidenced by the fact that she has pulled out far more than herself.

Jerky meat, meat floss, chicken thighs, fish fillets, eggs, piles of food are placed in front of the lightning.

"Oh my God," she said, propping her forehead, "we're going on an expedition, not a barbecue, at least you'll have to bring a weapon." ”

"Coo!" Maisie touched her mouth.

"You want to say that your beak is a weapon?" Lightning sighed, "If you meet an Inquisitor dressed like cans, you can peck at his armor......! Anyway, in just one day, there shouldn't be any danger. Let's go. ”

"Oh!

Well, maybe weight still has an effect on her.

Lightning pulled down his windshield glasses, and with a slight leap, flew in front of her.

I remember that when I first met Maisie, I was still in the woods to the south in an aerial pursuit, and although the fat pigeon did not escape from his palm at that time, it took at least some effort to knock her down. Looking at it now, I'm afraid I can catch her in the blink of an eye.

It's not good to go on like this, it's rare to have a partner who can fly, and I'll have to rely on her to help her carry the expedition tools in the future, the little girl thought to herself, it seems that she has to exercise well.

"Goo, goo?"

The lightning slowed down and walked side by side with Maisie, "Speak well!"

"I mean, where are we going to explore?" said the pigeon.

"The westernmost part of the Hidden Forest, I want to see how big this forest is," Lightning pulled out the map and pointed to the empty space on the west side, "By the way, complete this piece, maybe you can see where the Chishui River came from." ”

As soon as Maisie returned from the fjord, she began to prepare for the expedition, and His Highness didn't care where they flew anyway during the free practice. And the little girl had a secret in her heart that she didn't tell the other - she didn't dare to explore the forest alone.

This is a great shame for an explorer.

But she couldn't deceive herself, and the trip to the stone tower made her afraid of this deep forest. The thought of those terrifying monsters hiding somewhere in the forest made her uncontrollable desire to flee as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, she is still the daughter of the greatest explorer.

Thunder had mentioned to her that the way to overcome fear was to approach it little by little, and then observe it, understand it, and eventually find that fear is not so scary.

Because it comes from the obstacle of the heart.

This expedition was an attempt by lightning, and with Maisie by her side, she felt at least a little more confident in her heart. The route chosen was also very safe, heading west along the Chishui River without going deep into the forest, so it was unlikely that you would encounter the devil. Wait until you've flown the route yourself, and try it alone next time. She believes that one day, she will draw a map of the entire western realm by herself, and once again step into the stone tower to uncover the truth about the holy city of Tachira.

......

Along the way, the lightning controlled the speed to about sixty kilometers, and now she can accurately adjust the speed by how much magic power is released, and at the current consumption, she can continue to fly for a whole day.

The way she flew along the edge of the river and the forest was also much easier, compared to the last time she searched the stone tower, the whole field of vision was dark green, unable to distinguish the direction and height, and looked eerie and oppressive, but now with a sparkling silver ribbon and Maisie who was always chirping in her ears, the lightning felt that the fear was gradually fading.

"Look, there's a mountain in front of you!"

Lightning also saw this incomparable mountain, which was far away, but its gray figure spoke of its majesty. At the same time, the hilly area on the side of the river has decreased dramatically, and the peaks against the sea seem to have converged inland, and they have become closer and closer to the Chishui River, and finally they are completely attached to the silver belt.

"It's a little too big," she said, as the outline of the peaks became clearer as the distance shortened. Its top was snow-white, as if it were jutting straight into the clouds, and although it was not as undulating for thousands of miles as the Desperate Mountains, it was taller than the three or four Desperate Mountains combined. The hills to the south are the corners of the mountain that extend from it, and the source of the Chishui River comes from this magnificent mountain.

"The Hidden Forest is over!" exclaimed, Maisie excitedly.

The dark green patch under my feet finally ended, and the earth returned to light green—it should have been a grassland, but further on, the line of sight turned to pitch black, and covered the foot of the high mountain.

"Let's go down and see," Lightning gestured and swooped down into the pitch-black earth. She soon realized that it was a ground made of black stone.

"What is this?" Maisie pecked twice after landing on the ground, "It seems that you can't eat goo!"

"Of course you can't eat it," Lightning picked up a black stone and looked at it carefully, it looked angular and dark, but when it turned in the sunlight, it could see a metallic sheen. And such stones are everywhere, mixed with the sparse earth, and at first glance it looks as if the earth has been soaked in ink. "This may be some kind of ore, take two pieces back and show them to Your Highness. ”

The next step was mapping, and she was back in the air and began to write down the nearby terrain in detail.

It took almost half a morning to reach the foot of the majestic mountain from the border town, that is, it was about 240 kilometers away from the town, much farther than the Changge Fortress. And this high mountain ...... A thought suddenly came to me in the sea of flashing computers, what would be the scene behind such a huge mountain? Is it a vast jungle, or rolling hills and mountains?

After the fear subsided, the thought became difficult to suppress as soon as it appeared.

Crossing the mountains is obviously somewhat difficult, and the snow at the summit alone can be prohibitive. Then there is another course, which is to go around the sea without even going around the back of the mountain, just fly diagonally towards the middle of the sea to cast your eyes on the back of the mountain.

Lightning called Maisie and told her not to move, then put on her goggles and instantly pushed her speed to the limit - the magic quickly unleashed, the oncoming wind ripped her short hair to the back of her head, the land kept receding, and the blue sea filled the entire field of vision.

After about half an hour of flying, she could faintly see what was behind the mountains. There seemed to be a continuous mountain range behind him separating the sea from the land, but then Lightning saw a scene that caused his blood to clotte all over his body.

At the end of the view, a thick reddish-brown fog covered the mountains, as thick as blood that could not be dissolved, and the fog spread all the way to the west, barely in sight. (To be continued.) )
