The old man always felt a little inconsistent with everything in front of him. Everything seemed like it shouldn't be like this, but he couldn't tell what was wrong at all. He jumped down from the tree and patted Eugene on the arm and said, "Don't be angry, since the town chose her." The captain must have a point, so let’s just believe her. Let’s go there first, no matter how reluctant we are, the mission must be completed, for ourselves and for the town.”

"She is an idiot, and so is the mayor who chose her as captain." Anger surged in Eugene's chest, and he gave the tree trunk a hard blow and moved on reluctantly.The old man breathed a sigh of relief and followed the large army.

After they walked for about an hour, the trees in the forest began to look strange. This forest was not too high, but the trees growing in it grew strangely. When the trunks grew to about ten meters, they started to bend. Like overwhelmed.The crown of the tree is not lush either, with leaves concentrated in the middle of the trunk and many bare branches.

A picture emerged in the old man's mind. A huge beast stepped on the trunk of a tree. As its body moved, the trunk was bent and leaves shook off.And when he looked down, he felt that his guess was very reasonable.

There is a huge pit in the ground.

It is three to four centimeters deep, with turf and wildflowers being squeezed together in a messy manner. The bottom of the pit is uneven and slightly convex in the middle, forming a very obvious paw print.Everyone is familiar with this mark. Every day during the day, they can find several fresh marks belonging to wolves in the damp soil in the town.But this was the first time they had seen wolf footprints that were as big as pits. One claw alone was bigger than a human head. This wolf must be at least ten meters long.

Good news, these footprints are from a long time ago and the wolf is no longer around.

Bad news, this wolf wandering around is very likely to end up in Xinshou Town, and there is absolutely no way they can stop this possibly big and bad wolf.

"How about we go back now? Anyway, we already know that there is such a big wolf activity. Let's go back and tell the people in the town to leave here. It can't be solved." The person who has not spoken yet is called Ashley. The remaining girls in the team were timid and were so frightened that they wanted to retreat when they saw the paw print.

"Let's move on. We still haven't found the reason why the wolves have become abnormal." Tia thought for a while and decided to move on.The old man understands this decision. If moving was really that easy, there would be no need to wait until now. The iron ore could have been dug out ten years ago. Everyone has long known about the dangers in the forest.But the two sides have been getting along very peacefully for a long time, and nothing broke out.Now these wolves are suddenly rushing out of the forest like crazy. There must be a problem. As long as this problem is solved, it does not necessarily require moving.

The purpose of their coming here is also to find out the cause.

"Ouch!"

Suddenly a wolf howl came from not far away. Everyone came to their senses and immediately took out their weapons. Eugene took the bow and arrow from his back and nocked the arrow, pointing the sharp arrow at the heads of the gray wolves.The old man also had a bow and arrow in his hand, while Dia had a hatchet and a staff in her hand. Although she was only an apprentice, she could still cast some basic magic.The hatchet in his hand can also chop off the heads of these wolves when there is no time to release magic in close combat.As for Ashley, she symbolically held a wooden stick, her hands and feet were trembling, and she was protected in the center.

"Don't be nervous, relax." Eugene held his breath, his hands trembling slightly as he set the arrow.He has black hair and black eyes, a deeply contoured face, a straight nose, and a strong build.He is a rare bad boy in the town, but this is the first time he has faced so many beasts, and every one of them has a ferocious look on their face, wanting to tear him into pieces.Dia's staff shook slightly, and the most basic meditation technique was thrown down, and her nervous heart calmed down slightly with the blessing of magic.

"Need you to teach me?" Eugene snorted coldly.The hand slowly stabilized, and it constantly adjusted its direction with the movement of the wolves. The number of wolves was not too many, only about seven, and they were also wary of the arrow in the old man's hand.He kept circling around the crowd and silently surrounded them.They kept roaring at the old man.He could clearly see the sharp teeth exposed when the wolves opened their mouths.

"I will use magic to interfere with their actions later. You take the opportunity to kill the two wolves on our original path and then escape!" Tia lowered her voice and arranged the plan.The road they came on was already occupied by two gray wolves, and seven wolves completely surrounded them. Now there was only one opportunity, an unexpected sneak attack opportunity, to kill these humans without losing any personnel under the absolute advantage.

The eyes of this group of wolves are full of various emotions such as anger, fear, hatred, etc., but no matter what these emotions are, there is no doubt that these wolf pups want to kill themselves.The old man nodded, and Eugene snorted and agreed to Tia's plan.As Tia sang softly, layers of buffs were added to himself. The old man felt that his eyesight was better and his body was lighter.He aimed more intently at the wolves, trying to kill them with one arrow.

"Get ready." The breeze came, but in just a moment, the breeze turned into a strong wind and rolled up the leaves on the ground. The mottled yellow leaves turned into a curtain that blocked the vision in an instant, and at the same time, it also turned into a prison. A cage for wild beasts, they pounced on the two wolves on the way back.

"Let go!" The shouts and the sound of arrows breaking through the wind sounded at the same time. Without any hesitation, they ran away.The arrows hit the heads of two wolves. In the pitiful whine, the wolves chased everyone's buttocks.

They ran all the way to the east, struggling to survive in the gaps surrounded by wolves. They didn't know how long they ran. The surrounding environment began to gradually change and the trees became sparse. When the forest came to an end, they could already see rolling hills in front of them, and weeds were growing wildly. , small umbrella-shaped flowers swaying in the wind.

After bypassing several hills, a vast valley suddenly opened up before our eyes.

A tall building stands on the hill.

It looks ancient, with stone walls covered with vines and plants, standing silently with backlight, casting a thick black shadow sleeping in history.

The wolves were getting closer and closer to the old man and others. He could even hear the creepy grinding of teeth behind him. He didn't need to look back to know which terrifying beasts were baring their teeth and chasing him. Once they catch up, they will tear him apart mercilessly, just like the cattle and sheep in the town that were eaten by wolves.

The old man can even smell the stench emanating from the monster's mouth, will he become part of the disgusting minced meat remaining on its teeth?

The old man ran in terror, the roaring behind him getting louder and louder, and they were surrounded by wolves on both sides and behind. They had no choice but to rush towards the building in front of them.

The door of the building is open. There were originally many fine reliefs on the door. As time goes by, they have become blurred. Moss has filled the gaps, adding a strange dark green color.The inside of the door was pitch black, like an unfathomable abyss.

This building is very strange, with an unreasonable geographical location, an unnaturally huge building, and an exotic style that I have never seen before.All this makes it look abrupt and weird, but in any case, this building looks much friendlier than those wolf cubs grinding their teeth behind it.They had no other choice but to speed towards the door.

The wolves stopped in front of the gate of the building. They howled and bared their teeth at the door, but they did not dare to take a step forward. After wandering to no avail, the wolves stared fiercely at this huge facility, and howled on the spot. After several calls, he reluctantly left.

"I thought I was dead!"

"Those wolf cubs deserve to be damned!"

The old man relaxed his tense nerves, collapsed on the ground, and touched his head, which was covered in sweat.Eugene also tremblingly took out his cigarette, cursed and lit it, the hand holding the cigarette trembling violently.

"Where is this place? Have you heard of it?"

Tia was also sweating profusely and looked nervous, but she recovered much faster than others. Obviously, as a magic apprentice, her mental power is indeed stronger than that of ordinary people.

"I've never heard of a place like this in the forest. It looks like it's been there for a long time. Why didn't we know about it at all?"

"We've never been here before, so we just don't know." Ashley answered weakly, trying to answer Tia's question.Since the establishment of Xinshou Town, they haven't gone much into the forest. Besides, this building is at such a deep place, so it's understandable that they don't know.

"Xinshou Town was established decades ago. Since it is for mining, the nearby topography and geology need to be surveyed. In fact, it is not too far from the town. There is no reason to have such a huge building. But no one knows it exists.”

Ashley's answer obviously did not satisfy Tia. She frowned and touched the cold floor. After losing the threat of the wolves, the others also began to look around and observe the inside of this strange building. They were not in a hurry to go out. Who knows Had the wolves gone far? If they had not gone very far and were ambushed by them, then I don't know if they would have been as lucky as they were now to escape here.Besides, there are strange buildings in the forest and the strange behavior of wild beasts. Not to mention that they are necessarily related, there is nothing wrong with more investigation.

The inside of the strange building is like a huge empty warehouse. The ceiling is 20 meters high from the ground. Dozens of identical electric lamps are hung on it. At this time, the lamps are all black. There is only one room in the entire building, which is also huge. open.The walls and floor were completely flat and smooth, and the ground was clean and reflective, which was in sharp contrast to the ancient and uninhabited look of the stone and moss outside. Someone had obviously cleaned this place.And still often.

"Let's go and continue to stay here. It's hard to explain why we were bumped into by the owner here." Most of the people living here are weird. They built it in such an exaggerated building, but they didn't put anything in it and didn't see it at all. It doesn't look like you want to live in it, and you have to keep repairing it.It feels like someone is taking money and still enjoying it.

They are just ordinary townspeople who cannot understand the thoughts of rich people, and dealing with these weirdos will only make people feel troublesome.

"That's true. There is only one exit here. If any wild beasts come here again and they block the door, we will have no way to escape." Eugene also wanted to leave here. "Should we rest for a while before we go? My feet are so tired and I'm hungry."

Ashley blushed and lowered her head. The sudden growling sound from her stomach made the scene quiet for a moment. She embarrassedly covered her empty stomach with her hands.Stomach rumblings seemed to be contagious, and other people's stomach rumblings started to grow one after another.All four of them lowered their heads.

"I think this is a good idea. It would be nice to have a little rest."

"Even so, it takes strength to escape. Where will the strength come from if you don't have a full meal?"

"It's just a short rest. It should be fine, but I can only take a short rest. We'll leave here immediately after lunch."

The four people reached an agreement at this time. Since entering the forest in the morning, they had basically not had much rest, and they were chased by wolves all the way.The nerves were so tense that they forgot that they were hungry. With a little reminder, everyone realized that their stomachs were already empty.

At this time, the tabletop suddenly shook. Ashley was about to grab a piece of chocolate when his body tilted and his fingers dug into Eugene's bread next to him.

The old man was holding a stick of dry food and chewing it. As a result, his body suddenly fell to the floor and one of his front teeth flew out. He covered his mouth in pain.

Before they had time to sit up again, they saw the electric lights above their heads begin to rise and fall, and the hall flickered on and off. Finally, dozens of electric lights above their heads turned on at the same time, illuminating the entire room as if it were daytime.

"what happened?"

"what's going on?"

"My front teeth!!"

All four of them felt something was wrong. Tia and Eugene took out his weapons to be wary of the surroundings. Ashley instinctively shrank behind Tia. The old man lay on the ground and picked up his fallen front teeth and put them in his pocket. He planned to go back Hidden under the pillow where he sleeps, it is said that the elf will help him grow again, but now that he is so big, he just doesn't know if the elf is still willing to help him.

"door!!"

The vibration came and went quickly. Before everyone could fully react, the inexplicable shaking ended.But this did not bring any joy to the people present. Ashley exclaimed, while the others remained silent with gloomy faces.Eugene dropped his bow and arrow and rushed to the door, pushing with all his strength, but to no avail.

The huge door didn't move at all. It closed quietly during the shaking. Now they seemed to be prisoners in a prison, trapped in this strange room.

"Hey! What are you still doing here? It's time to go to work."

There was a voice coming from behind, and everyone turned their heads to look over in unison. All these doubtful, wary and curious eyes fell on the person who spoke.

"Why are you looking at me? Don't you have to work if you look at me? Really, the newcomers nowadays don't know what to think. They don't even wear work clothes when they go to work. Don't tell me that you forgot to wear them. Forget it, who I call you super rookies? I know you have a lot of questions, but I'm sorry that I don't like to explain anything. If you have any questions, just ask them at work. Don't be stunned, get on the elevator, we have a lot of work today .”

It was an ordinary man in a suit. He had a brown headdress on his head, like a garland of paper. There were several scars on his powerful face. He was smoking a cigarette and leaning on a cylindrical device to look at them.There are separate floors on both sides of the cylinder, and below is an unfathomable hole with countless electric lights.
