Chapter 852

...

When night fell, shadows shrouded little by little from the direction of the Impassable Mountains, as if the ridges were constantly growing, and finally connected with the sky, completely engulfing the brown and green land.

This was the first time Lorgar had seen such a scene. When flying in the sky, even a colossal object like Maggie's projection was just an insignificant piece printed on the mountains, rivers and fields. When the shadow behind it encroached, it seemed slow, but there was nowhere to escape, no matter how fast it flew, it was useless.

She has a deeper understanding of the vastness of the wild land.

Lightning approached and whistled, "Go down, we're here."

"Aw—!"

The giant beast began to fall, and the wolf girl lying on her back suddenly felt that she was levitating. This feeling of falling made her a little flustered, and her hands involuntarily grasped the fur.

Not long after, the three of them landed on a small hillside.

"here it is……"

"The secret base of the expedition group," Lightning beckoned, "Come with me."

The little girl disappeared suddenly after bypassing a huge tree stump. She followed up and found that the tree stump was actually hollow, and a small door was opened on the side facing the steep slope. stone chair.

"Even if we fly to Taquila, it will take two days. We will spend the night here today, and we will start our journey tomorrow morning." Lightning opened the window panel opposite the door to let the wind flow, and the rotten smell in the tree trunk dissipated a lot , "Next is barbecue time, try my craft."

"This place...was built by you?" Lorgar looked around curiously. After all, she agreed to the other party's invitation and joined the so-called Neverwinter Expedition Group. After all, apart from the little girl's promise to take her to the abandoned city, the information about the devil just tickled her itch. The more you know about your enemy, the better you will be able to gain an advantage in future battles. It was a last resort to leave without detailed information. Now that she had a reliable source of information, she had no choice but to make a little "sacrifice".

Just treat it as a toss with the two little guys.

"It can't be considered a construction, but I just found a place created by nature." Lightning quickly raised a bonfire and lit the inside of the stump. The leaves just filled the tree trunk, forming a natural roof—as for the window holes and door panels, Maggie chiseled them out. There are quite a few footholds like this in the wilderness. As long as you are careful enough, explorers never There will be a lack of sheltered campsites."

The other party's answer unexpectedly made her feel reliable.

With the help of the flickering light of the fire, Lorgar noticed at this moment that there were bolts nailed to the back of the simple door and window panels, which could effectively prevent uninvited guests from entering; above the bonfire, there was a smoke outlet that could be opened and closed, which was obviously an emergency. It can also be used to escape at any time; the firewood is placed on a higher ground to avoid being soaked by water, and two drainage ditches have been dug on the ground to lead directly to the outside, so although there is a decaying smell, it does not feel damp.

There are many similar details, which are completely unlike something that an underage child can grasp.

She was a little confused about the details of the expedition group for a while.

While humming an out-of-tune cuckoo, Maggie took out the dried meat from her backpack and roasted it on the campfire. Lightning took out various seasoning jars from his waist and sprinkled them evenly on the surface of the jerky. The cooperation between the two was quite tacit, and it was obviously not the first time they had done such a thing.

Soon, the alluring fragrance spread in the trunk.

"Eat," Lightning handed a skewer of roast meat to her.

Lorgar took the barbecue, hesitated for a while, and then slowly put it into his mouth.

The extremely layered and delicious taste burst out immediately - first the sticky warm oil, then the saltiness brought by those spices, and finally the thin shredded pork that is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It is hard to imagine that this can be enjoyed in the wild Food, even the high-end banquets in Iron Sand City, taste nothing more than this.

She couldn't help wagging her tail, and breathed out the lingering fragrance from her throat, "Good, delicious..."

"Of course, this is not an ordinary jerky goo!" Maggie said proudly, "It was originally a giant lake frog in the ice spring of Daxue Mountain. It took me a lot of effort to catch it ashore! Just one leg It’s as big as lightning, so it can only be marinated and eaten slowly.”

The wolf girl was stunned for a moment, lake frog? what is that? Can it really be eaten?

"Don't worry," the little girl seemed to see what she was thinking, "Explorers exist to explore unknown secrets, and novel food is one of them."

Luo Jia pursed her lips, but in the end she was still reluctant to put down half of the jerky, and swallowed it with her eyes closed.

After savoring the aftertaste between her lips and teeth, she looked at Lightning, "Are there only the two of you in the Neverwinter expedition?"

"There are three now," the latter corrected.

"Where are the rest of the Witch Union? Why do you want to invite me to join?" The third princess thought for a while, but said bluntly, "I came to the western region to challenge powerful enemies and hone my skills. I have no interest in exploring the unknown... "

Lightning was silent for a moment, "Because they rarely leave Neverwinter, and even if they did, few of them like to run around in the wild. They have more important things to do than explore... such as staying in the factory Produce those machines. My father said that a real expedition cannot be completed by one person. To be a great explorer, one must form a team of one's own. And you are the only one I met in the wilderness witch."

This guy is serious, and Lorgar suddenly realized that the expedition team was not just a whim, but she wanted to do it from the bottom of her heart—but judging from her slightly lonely tone, I am afraid that few people will take her He took the statement to heart, but regarded it as a joke of a little girl, just like what he thought before.

For a moment, she saw a shadow of herself in the opponent. Before defeating all challenges and becoming a real warrior, few people could understand her enthusiasm and persistence in fighting—even in Iron Sand City, women Warriors are still a very small part.

Thinking of this, the wolf girl couldn't help but sighed softly, pretending to be helpless and said, "Since I am also a member of the expedition team, what should I do next?"

Lightning's eyes lit up. She took out a sheepskin map from her pocket and handed it to Lorgar, "This marks the unexplored areas nearby. If you happen to pass by there, draw the novelty things you find on the map." Up there—a bird's nest, a beehive, a wolf's den, whatever."

"But you can't sneak around alone, this is the first rule of the expedition group, we have to eat goo together after we come back!" Maggie interjected.

Lorgar spread out the map, and saw that it was covered with all kinds of weird patterns, and there were many annotations on the side, such as the place where it said the eagle's nest, there were two chicken legs and four eggs, which made her I was a little dumbfounded for a while.

Why do I feel like I've been cheated?

"Ahem...well, I see," she put away the map, "but what do you mean by waiting for you to come back... are you leaving Neverwinter?"

"His Majesty Roland is about to send troops to the Eastern Territory and Hermes. At that time, we may have to act with the First Army. It may take several months to come back—after all, His Majesty can only rely on The two of us." Lightning patted his chest and said, "During this period of time, the exploration of the wild land will be left to you."
