"Boom", the rolling thunder faintly came from the sky, the sky was split in half by the clouds, one side was the blue sky, the clouds were dyed by the setting sun in a fiery red color, and the other side was covered with dark clouds, and the torrential rain poured down without warning.

The moment they stepped out of the wandering woodland, the girls were shocked by what they saw. Beyond the woodland, there is a lake that looks like the sea, no one knows how big this lake is, and in this mysterious forbidden place, very few people have actually seen it, let alone measured it. The torrential rain poured into the lake, and the lake was covered with large blisters, but the lake at the other end of the line of sight was calm like a mirror, shining golden in the brilliant sunset.

"Welcome to the Lake of the End. Walking out of the woodland, Pannis spread his arms and said in a voice that seemed like an aria: "Welcome to the brightest pearl of the Forest of Death, of course, I haven't been there." ”

The seven members of the expedition wore tarpaulins like cloaks and silently walked through the rainstorm woodland, and the rain slid down the tarpaulins like tiny waterfalls. In the gloomy and oppressive woodland, six men and one beast did not say a word, and lined up with their heads bowed, stepping on the muddy ground quickly, looking like seven ghosts. It wasn't until they walked out of the woodland and a huge lake suddenly appeared in front of them that the seven ghosts seemed to come to life.

"I ......" Catherine raised her head, as soon as she opened her mouth, she was poured into a mouthful of rain by the rushing rain, in exchange for a snickering from Pannis, when he just spoke, although his body moved very much, he still maintained a posture of hanging his head, the rain did not affect him, but he covered up his head well, obviously deliberately misleading. Catherine couldn't cry or laugh, gritted her teeth and stabbed him with her fingers a few times, and hung her head in his posture angrily and funny and said, "You guy, you're still messing around at this time." I don't know about the Forbidden Ground, what are we going to do now, it's already dusk, theoretically we should find a place to shelter from the rain and camp for the night, but can we do this in the Forbidden Ground? Or do we have to keep moving so that the twisted souls don't find us?"

"Set up camp. Pannis said: "You have obviously forgotten the nature of twisted souls, as long as they are not within the range of their senses, they will not actively seek out our consciousness, and will only move at a very slow speed according to certain laws, which is what we often call wandering, so it is no problem to set up camp." ”

"Okay, understood, then I'll look at the camping site, the lake is definitely not good, it's too dangerous. Catherine nodded, looked around for a while, and suddenly patted her head and said in annoyance: "Damn, I forgot, this is a forbidden place for living beings, and no demonic beasts come to the lake to drink water, so it's not bad to camp by the lake, and you don't have to clean up too many things." ”

"No, don't be here. Pannis grabbed Catherine, raised his hand and pointed into the distance, and said, "Do you see the mountain on the lakeside? Let's go and camp on that mountain." ”

"Well, it's raining so hard that I can't even see there. Catherine was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Then let's walk around for half an hour, and stay there tonight." ”

"The mountain?" Freya leaned over to look at the location that Pannis pointed out, and asked suspiciously, "It's just a stone barren mountain, is there anything special about it, why do you want to go there?"

"First, heavy rains will cause the water of the Nalamia River upstream of the Lake of the End to swell, and no one can predict how high the water level of the Lake of the End will rise. Knowing that although Freya had also experienced a period of adventure, but the adventure experience was still far behind that of the other girls, Catherine patiently explained: "Second, there is a mountain, and it is a stone mountain, so the possibility of a cave on the mountain is very high, since there is no demonic beast, the cave is the best place to camp, especially in the rainstorm." The cave is leeward, warm, and highly defensive, and most importantly, much more comfortable to live in a dry cave than in a rain-watered damp ground. It's just that because of the threat of demonic beasts in other places, caves are generally not chosen. ”

"Well, dry enough is the best reason. Freya sighed and said, "I already understand the feelings of the owner of the notebook, but after a rain, I feel uncomfortable, and if this weather is like this every day, I'm afraid I'll soon go crazy." ”

The barren mountain by the lake does not seem to be far away, but when you really walk over, you will find that it will take a long time, although Catherine has tried to estimate the time as long as possible, but when she really reached the foot of the mountain, fifty minutes have passed, and the sky is gradually darkening, the only thing to be thankful for is that the cumulonimbus clouds have moved forward, to the half of the sky where the sun was originally shining, and the rain has basically stopped at the location of the expedition.

Although there are no trees growing because the main part of the lake is rocky, there are still many wild grasses growing tenaciously in the cracks of the rocks, adding a bit of greenery to the barren mountain. Although the rain has stopped, there are still stagnant water that flows down the mountain from the top of the mountain along the stone crevices, which is also the biggest advantage of the stone mountain, basically there is no need to worry about the danger of flash floods, you can live on it with peace of mind.

"Here it is. Pannis, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped, looked at a gap in the mountain wall for a moment, and nodded: "It should be a very suitable cave for the team to camp in, and the height is just right." ”

"So sure?" The girls all knew that Pannis's exploration ability was very strong, but they didn't even enter, just looking outside, they concluded that the inside was habitable, and it was no longer a question of the strength of their exploration ability, especially when he also admitted that he had never been to this depth of the forbidden land, so Catherine glanced at Pannis with some confusion, and also observed near the gap in the position where Pannis had just now, and after a few minutes, the knight girl suddenly got up suddenly, and said to Pannis with wide eyes: " I see, you saw this too. ”

"What's wrong, big sister. Lina asked curiously, "What do you see?"

"Traces, traces left by the activity of intelligent beings. Catherine said: "In such an environment, it stands to reason that the traces of biological activity will not be left for too long, and even if this location is not invaded by rain, it is difficult to preserve it in the humidity for more than a hundred years, that is, these should be left when people were active here in a hundred years, so the most likely people...... No wonder you said a few hours ago that you thought of a possibility, and no wonder you must come here to set up camp. (To be continued.) )
