In the cab was a cup of hot milk. Yang Zhiming drank slowly while holding the cup. His left leg tapped on the ground, and the metal prosthesis collided with the floor, making a thumping sound.

There is still a vibrant jungle in front of you.

10 minutes ahead is the northern plain, and further into the deep forest is the city before the orc dynasty.There is a huge ancient tree as the center, and it expands outward layer by layer.Although it is a little dilapidated now, there are still many residents.

After a while, the terminal vibrated, and Yang Zhiming picked it up to take a look. It was about the group of mercenaries they found yesterday. Now several teams of hunters are continuing to investigate this matter.

He turned around and reminded: "Brother Shen, the association has sent a notice."

"I know." Came Shen Chaomu's answer.

Yang Zhiming then continued to concentrate on driving, but when he looked ahead, he seemed to see... something flashing past the tree?

The radar system on the car did not detect mental fluctuations.He thought he was dazzled, so he looked a few more times, and there was nothing among the colorful leaves.

The off-road vehicle continued to move forward, and two or three minutes later, Yang Zhiming saw something flashing between the trees in his peripheral vision.

This time he didn't think he was dazzled.As a support staff, his mental strength is not strong, so he turned around and shouted to be on the safe side: "Brother Shen, why don't you come and see the situation?"

This time no one answered, Yang Zhiming vaguely heard the music of Doudizhu.

He then turned on the autopilot and got up to go.The door of Long Shiyu and Shen Chaomu's room was half open. Yang Zhiming knocked on the door twice and then poked his head in: "Brother Shen, we may have a problem. I don't know if there is a strange beast..."

Long Shiyu said: "We know it, don't be nervous. You concentrate on driving and I'll take care of it."

Shen Chaomu said, "Hey."

Yang Zhiming was so frightened that he had goose bumps all over his body, and he returned to the cab with hands and feet.

He still had lingering fears when he went back, so he quickly took a sip of hot milk to calm his shock, and finally understood why Fang Qing was muttering every day, "It's been three or five days, why are the two people's problems still not healed?"

After a while, Shen Chaomu also came to the cab, and it seemed that he had returned to normal.He said: "It should be some dry leaf monkeys, not a strange beast, so the fluctuation of mental power cannot be monitored."

"Then do you want to drive them away?" Yang Zhiming asked.

"I'll just scare them a little bit. They're just ordinary animals. They're not very harmful, they just like to snatch things from tourists. It's probably because our car is too fragrant."

In the kitchen, the potato sirloin stewed by Long Shiyu wafted out bursts of aroma.

Shen Chaomu's golden spiritual power quickly passed through the leaves, the branches were swaying, and the leaves fell one by one——

Countless animals appeared under the shock of this spiritual power.The monkeys' skin originally imitated the color of the leaves, but after being so frightened, they turned back to their original brown appearance.

They panicked, grabbed the vines and stepped on the branches, and ran back to the depths of the woods.

Then the body of the off-road vehicle sank suddenly, and after driving through a small ditch, the front of the vehicle rose.

What appeared in front of them was a vast plain.

It is covered with green and reddish-brown long grass, the shallow part is only below the ankle, and the deepest part is half a person's height.

Yang Zhiming found a place to park.

Long Shiyu pinned the little white flower on his princess's collar again, feeling very satisfied.

When they got out of the car, they saw a few orc people wearing long-sleeved trousers in the distance, followed by a collection robot, with different plants in it—from thin to transparent leaves to delicate flowers, all of which are present. There is no way to collect them by machine. If you choose some good-looking and good-looking ones, you can sell them at a good price in the market.

Long Shiyu asked: "Why are they dressed like this?"

Shen Chaomu explained: "There are bugs here, insect repellants are not particularly useful, and it is too troublesome to use mental power to drive them away every time, so I just dress like this."

"Oh." Long Shiyu said, "It seems that no insect has ever dared to bite me."

"That's for sure." Shen Chaomu said, "You have bit me twice."

The card of the excellent evil dragon was questioned again, and Long Shiyu wringed his fingers guiltyly: "I, I said I would lick your wounds, but you didn't even want to."

It's okay not to mention this, but when Shen Chaomu was mentioned, he remembered how Long Shiyu licked his wounds and finger joints on the bridge that day.

Charming nostalgia, bright and colorful.

If it is placed on other people, it must be naked seduction, sentimental flirting, and burning desire.But it happened to be Long Shiyu.

It happened to be Long Shiyu.

When Shen Chaomu thought of this, he was inexplicably flustered.How could a simple act of saving dragons be turned into this?

He grabbed the dragon's horn and shook it a few more times, in exchange for Long Shiyu's dissatisfied stare at him.

Fang Qing was already in high spirits, and pulled Yang Zhiming and his robot to find some fresh materials.

The group of orc residents were still collecting, Shen Chaomu let go of his hand and said, "Go and ask them first to see if they have collected the scorching sun epiphyllum."

Walking over, they saw several orcs with tiger ears.

Long Shiyu was deeply attracted by the lunch boxes they carried with them, and while staring at them, Shen Chaomu briefly explained the situation.

After the few orcs whispered in their own language, they all had strange eyes.

One of them pointed to Shen Chaomu: "Don't you just have one on your neckline?"

Shen Chaomu looked down at the flowers Long Shiyu gave him: "Isn't that right, the hot sun epiphyllum I saw doesn't look like this."

"That's it. You tourists don't know so much just by reading the information." The man continued, "Your flower is just a little stunted. If you put this flower in the sun for 10 minutes, it will become As you have seen."

Shen Chaomu: "...Thank you." He thought for a while and added, "Be careful when you go out. Recently, mercenaries have been operating nearby, and there is some evidence that they are gathering on this plain. If there is any suspicious situation, be sure to contact Hunter's Association."

"I know I know."

They're ready to get back on the buggy.Long Shiyu looked at him: "So we can go back, right?"

"Yeah." Shen Chaomu said, "But why do you always 'coincidentally' find so many strange things, and that Zuan flower last time was the same."

"I don't know, but I think these flowers are very special just by looking at them."

Shen Chaomu couldn't figure it out: "Maybe, you are also a very strange dragon, birds of a feather flock together."

"Okay." Long Shiyu decided to accept the princess' idea.

All in all, although the process was different from what I imagined, the flower was found.

Just as he was about to get in the car, he received a message from Yang Zhiming on the terminal.

It probably means that Fang Qing found the bird that was scared away by the mercenaries before, and now he hastily chased after it. They may not come back so soon.

Long Shiyu said: "Why don't we go to the nearby forest for a stroll."

"Then I'll go up and collect this flower first." Shen Chaomu pointed to the white flower.

He went up and carefully put the flower in a special container for plants, sent a message to Romeo by the way, and then got out of the car.

Long Shiyu was already eager to try, and looked at the forest: "I will find you some other flowers later."

"You're sure to find something strange again."

"How could it be?" Long Shiyu flicked his tail happily.

They picked a random direction and walked deep into the forest.

Approaching the north, the red leaves gradually take up the majority, and the color concentration varies slightly with the seasons. Summer is a hot flame, unrestrained and lively, and winter is like soft, dim, fluffy velvet.

It is autumn at this time, and it happens to be when the two colors blend together, which also has a different kind of beauty.

The group of dry leaf monkeys appeared again, lying in the forest with swaying tree shadows, looking at them furtively and full of curiosity, but they didn't dare to approach them at all.

As he walked, Long Shiyu looked around to see if there were any beautiful flowers, but there were none that he liked, not worthy of a beautiful princess.

Shen Chaomu remembered what happened yesterday, and asked, "Do you know what 'Acasamo' means in Dragon Language?"

Long Shiyu froze for a moment.

Then he hooked the princess's wrist with the tip of his tail: "Oh."

Shen Chaomu felt baffled: "What's so funny about this." After thinking about it, maybe Long Shiyu was afraid of the name, and he added, "He won't come to beat you."

Long Shiyu said: "I don't know, I don't know anything."

"...Really? Isn't this your language?"

Long Shiyu looked sincere: "I'm not well-educated, and I don't know anything."

Shen Chaomu: "...you are lying to a three-year-old again."

But Long Shiyu was determined not to speak.

Shen Chaomu said: "Then you should know what your name means, right? Although 'Long Shiyu' doesn't sound like a dragon's name."

"I have a dragon name, and the two names have almost the same meaning." Long Shiyu said, "I just translated it in Alliance language."

"So what do you mean?"

This time Long Shiyu started to struggle again: his princess didn't realize that he actually asked two identical questions.

He was a little guilty: "It's just that I can only breathe fire, so the name should have 'Rain' to complement it...Ah, don't shake me."

He was held by the dragon's horn and shook for a while, and he could only say aggrieved, "Okay, okay, let me tell you. This rain refers to light rain."

"What is light rain?"

"You loosen my horn first."

Shen Chaomu withdrew his hand unsatisfied.

Long Shiyu continued: "Didn't I tell you that I was born from the stars. So on the day I was born, all the stars began to rain."

"How can stars rain? I haven't heard of light rain either."

"Anyway, it's raining." Long Shiyu said, "In that kind of rain, you must use an umbrella, otherwise your clothes will be stained."

One day, a miracle was born from the universe, so the stars melted in celebration, and colorful colors fell from the sky, and each drop shone with strange brilliance.

That is the running, flowing light.

Looking up, the stars from all over the world are rushing towards you.

Shen Chaomu was slightly stunned, as if he had really witnessed that incredible scene for a moment.

He looked at Long Shiyu from the side, his eyes were still exceptionally beautiful, and when he looked at him, there was a bright light.

... If there is really light and rain, then the brilliance probably melted into the eyes of the young man.

Shen Chaomu came back to his senses and said, "Then what does the word 'pick up' mean?"

This time Long Shiyu wagged his tail guilty again: "I don't know, I'm just an illiterate dragon."

Shen Chaomu: "..."

They continued to walk deep into the forest, the stream was gurgling, and the sunlight was once again stained by the leaves like stained glass, but this time it was more red, and it fell on the body, feeling very warm.

The more you walk in this direction, the more dry leaf monkeys you see.They can also be seen holding cameras, snacks, fruit and plastic bags.

Shen Chaomu said: "It should be close to their old nest. They like to take all the tourists' things back home."

"I also like to store things at home." Long Shiyu said excitedly, "For example, crystals and princesses."

Just as Shen Chaomu was about to speak, he suddenly noticed a monkey holding a... needle?

With a flick of golden light, the needle was taken from the monkey's hand.The monkey screamed, its fur turned back to the red color of fallen leaves, and it fled away without a trace.

Long Shiyu smelled it and said, "It's also the blood of the arc bird."

Most of the blood they found in the mercenary camp yesterday was the same.

The refinement of blood depends on what kind of 'exotic animal material' the purifiers have recently got on hand-that's what they call it.Therefore, in most cases, these mutants get the same batch of goods in a short period of time, such as the arc bird this time, such as the mermaid blood in the star capital.

So mercenaries like Augusta who only inject high-purity, single-type blood from beginning to end are very, very rare.

Shen Zhai must have close ties with the core members of the church.

...Could it be the vampire Lilith?

Shen Chaomu frowned slightly, thinking a lot in an instant.But in the end, he wrapped the needle tube with a white cloth and submitted it to the association for analysis after preparation.

Moving forward, more odds and ends were held in the hands of the monkeys.There are pots and pans, needles, even a bullet and a pair of smelly socks.

Looks like they just ransacked a mercenary camp.

Shen Chaomu said, "Go further in this direction."

After 15 minutes, they saw an abandoned camp.

The off-road vehicles of the mercenaries had already driven away, leaving only traces of fire in the middle of the woods, and a black tent, half of the fabric had been torn.

Shen Chaomu sent the coordinates here on the terminal, and the patrol said it would come soon.

Long Shiyu was already standing in front of the tree roots.

This is a very old tree, probably nearly a thousand years old.A little further here is the base camp of the monkeys.Being so close to home, they all became restless, but the deterrent force of these two people was too great, and none of them dared to step forward.

What appeared in front of Long Shiyu at this time were intertwined and twisted tree roots, each of which was as thick as an adult's torso.

Looks like a dead end, followed by a stone wall.

But he smelled the smell of a strange beast.

When Shen Chaomu came over, he also felt a little abnormal in his mental strength.Then the golden light cut a little bit of tree roots——

During this process, the dry leaf monkeys started howling in unison.

Their voices are not harsh, but they are very sharp, echoing in the forest with a sense of excitement.They were so angry that they kept jumping uneasily among the branches, and some even rushed towards Shen Chaomu from the tall trees regardless of safety.

Their offensive was easily stopped.

Shen Chaomu tried to minimize the damage, and only used his mental strength to squeeze away the tree roots blocking the way.After a creaking sound, a narrow passage appeared in front of them, deep and dark, but there were still a few footprints in the wet soil.

They squeezed through, and the road went all the way down, as if they were going to the unknown center of the earth.

The spiritual power kept pushing the roots away.After walking for about 5 minutes, I could faintly see a faint light at the end.

After a few more steps, it suddenly became clear.

The first thing that comes into view is a swaying red.

Here is an open space, surrounded by layers of trees in a circle.

There are still scattered tree roots above the head, but the light here is not particularly dim. It seems that those tree roots have specially created gaps for the sunlight to visit.

So those red leaves seemed to be burning.

The heat and gloom of the changing seasons blend together.The tree was red, and a few young monkeys flew past, hiding behind the leaves and looking at the comer.The ground is also red, with a soft and thick texture when stepped on, and the footsteps are silent.

Behind them is the thousand-year-old tree and the cramped passage, making it even more like... a secret base.

And in the center of the open space, those scattered sunlight fell on a statue.

It was a knight standing with his epee on the ground, head raised and chest raised, his face was invisible, and the armor around him was pitch black.And there is a horse beside him, also armed with black heavy armor, only a little white hair is exposed, and there are intelligent eyes under the armor.

On the left and on the right, beside the black knight are statues of the boy and girl of the White Deer Tribe. Special carving materials and superb techniques make them equally lifelike.

A stele reads "The Black Knight and the Guardian".It should be the name of this statue, inspired by the legend of Tabuna thousands of years ago.

Several young monkeys were sleeping quietly beside the statue. When they saw them rushing in, they hid behind the statue of the knight in horror.

However, both of them could feel that there was an unusual aura coming from the statue.

There were many mercenaries' mental power remaining at the scene, and the mental power turned over the thick fallen leaves and found a lot of herbs.Buckthorn, white owl flower, golden tail vine...

When they were in Kassand, the mercenaries also awakened Villepin with strange materials according to the commission of the "boss"-a little knowledge of dragon alchemy was also used.

Shen Chaomu said in a low voice, "It's Shen Zhai again..."

Now it seems that they discovered it a step too late.

What kind of beast was awakened this time?

As soon as the words fell, a gust of unknown wind blew past.The temporarily red leaves are falling down one after another, chasing each other, as gorgeous as butterflies.

In the rain of leaves, it's like a dream...

The black knight statue moved.

At first it was just armor shaking, layers of dust and leaves being shaken off.Then, with the sound of metal colliding, the armor slowly moved.

First, he moved the epee with his hand, then his right foot retreated slightly, and his knee bent laboriously and stagnantly.The fingers of the knight's left hand trembled slightly, he shook his head, and twisted his shoulders, as if a person who had just woken up was exercising his muscles.

The heavy armored horse neighed, shook its head, and raised its front hooves violently.

This statue comes to life!

Shen Chaomu pulled Long Shiyu behind him, the oil lamp appeared and burned beside him, and his mental power turned into a spear and surrounded the knight——

"Ahem, cough, cough," the knight coughed a few times.

After exercising his body, he easily picked up the epee weighing hundreds of kilograms with one hand and put it on his shoulder.There was a crisp sound when the epee collided with the armor, and his voice was exceptionally forceful: "Oh, where did this visitor come from! Are you also being harassed by monkeys hahaha!"

He burst into a mighty laugh: "Don't worry and don't feel ashamed! Welcome to Tabu!"

Those young monkeys put on his armor affectionately, and the knight smiled even more happily.

After laughing heartily for a while, he said, "But my friends, is it convenient for you to tell me what time it is?"

Shen Chaomu: "..." Those golden spears were still ready to shoot at any time, he looked at the terminal, "Four o'clock in the afternoon."

"It's, it's already four o'clock." The knight's tone changed this time, his body moved, and the armor made a sound of collision.

He said, "I'm afraid I can't stay with you. It's time for tea. I don't know where the children have gone to the forest. Have you seen them?"
