Chapter 1022 In-depth Investigation
Ma Xiaowan nodded as she said, "But we have to wait until dawn tomorrow. It is too dangerous to operate at night. We will return to the camp to spend the night tonight and make plans tomorrow."
"Why not now?" Fang Heng suggested: "We are also very interested in the reason why the dragon mosquitoes are entrenched, and we necromancers prefer the night."
Ma Xiaowan looked at Fang Heng, feeling uneasy in her heart Suddenly it reached the extreme.
No way?
According to her original idea, the difficulty in commissioning was how to deal with a large number of dragon mosquitoes in the early stage.
The subsequent investigation mission is just an ordinary process for the Chamber of Commerce.
Who knows what stimulated these dragon mosquitoes to stay nearby.
The danger may exist, but the high probability is an accident.
Is it true that if you encounter a necromancer, you will be met with bad luck?
Are there bigger troubles waiting for them in the forest?
Ma Xiaowan became entangled.
Of course, if there are two powerful necromancers traveling together, the safety factor of the investigation will be greatly improved.
It's just rumors from the outside world...
If you get too close to the Necromancer, the disaster will become more serious as time goes by.
Fang Heng didn't think it mattered.
He can complete the mission with or without these mercenary groups.
He just wondered why Ma Xiaowan was so entangled.
Ma Xiaowan took a deep breath and decided not to believe in these gods and ghosts.
"Okay, please give us some time. We will set off immediately in half an hour."
"Okay."
......
Early in the morning.
Hisai Forest.
Four fused tyrants opened the way ahead.
Behind is a group of swaying zombies.
The moonlight tonight is quite clear, illuminating the way forward.
I can vaguely hear the chirping of insects in the forest.
After entering the Xisai Forest area, Fang Heng discovered that the plants here were much larger than those outside!
Along the way, several pharmacists who followed the team's exploration were crazy with joy. They stopped after taking a few steps and picked medicinal materials along the trail.
After confirming that there were no players in the team, Mo Jiawei became bolder and started chatting briefly with the team members.
“The Xisai Forest still has no owner?” Mo Jiawei looked confused, “This area has never been occupied? No one knows where it is through the Xisai Forest?”
"Well, this area is now a no-care zone." The guide nodded and responded, "The first emperor Andrast who founded the empire once expanded the empire's territory everywhere, but he never explored the Hisai Forest area. , and will also The Xisai Forest area is set as a forbidden area and no one is allowed to enter."
Mo Jiawei felt strange and asked: "Why is this?"
"Who knows, but outside. There are many rumors. It is said that Andrast was the daughter of a lord of a small divided country when she was young. The territory was invaded by foreign invaders and the lord died in battle. She fled into the Xisay Forest under the protection of her bodyguards. "
< br>
"The enemy wanted to eradicate the roots, so they sent their legions across the Hisai Forest to pursue them."
"Later, something seemed to happen in the forest. The army suffered heavy casualties. Everyone thought Andrast was dead. Unexpectedly, she appeared again three years later and established the Malhet Empire dynasty.”
The guide shrugged as he said, "I think it may be because she has some special feelings for this forest."
Mo Jiawei's eyelids jumped after hearing this, and he thought: "The story is a bit strange. Could it be that she got some powerful power from the forest?"
"Well..."
The guide nodded and continued: "Don't tell me, there are really many rumors like this outside."
"Really?"
"Well, Emperor Andrast Before his death, he built an extremely vast underground mausoleum, which is said to be unprecedented in scale. Those who participated in the construction of the mausoleum were secretly executed. There are also many rumors that Andrast behaved before his death. There were a lot of abnormalities, and some people even saw her with their own eyes..."
"Ahem." Ma Xiaowan coughed slightly and interrupted: "These are baseless rumors. The empire has nothing to do with Ander. Rust has always been taboo, so it’s better not to talk too much.”
Fang Heng, who had been silent, turned around and said, “I’m very interested, please continue.”
"Oh, it's not a big deal actually." The guide chuckled, "There are rumors outside that the emperor made a deal with an evil force in the forest and gained powerful power. The mausoleum built by the emperor before his death was An evil ritual, she has already transferred her soul to Sacrificed to the devil."
"Some people even say that the blood of the devil circulates in the entire Andrast family, but don't say that, every descendant of Andrast. Everyone has a strong fighting talent."
"Fake, everyone. It’s just a rumor from outside.”
Kuno, the deputy of the mercenary group, shook his head repeatedly and said: “As for combat talent, it’s just the special Qi training system passed down by the imperial family. Besides, Xisai. We have been to the forest dozens of times, and we have come to explore so many forests. After checking, there is not a single one. It sounds like it’s fake. Otherwise, we would have been rich a long time ago. These are all rumors from outside, just treat them as conversation topics after dinner.”
"Times have changed, and many high-end medicinal materials in the Xisai Forest are urgently needed by the empire, and the external purchase prices are ridiculously high."
"In addition to medicinal materials, there is also red paulownia wood, which not only has the effect of repelling insects. It can also emit a delicate fragrance, both It is cherished by princes and nobles. There are red paulownia trees outside Xisai Forest, but few grow as big as in Xisai Forest."
Fang Heng glanced at the servants who were busy collecting. The pharmacist of the Corps felt strangely itchy.
Hey guys, this is a profitable business!
He has a large number of zombie clones, and his collection skills have been upgraded to the full level 20 in the zombie apocalypse.
If you can collect wood and medicinal materials in exchange for money...
Unfortunately, the trial has a time limit.
Besides, he can't really be cooing for too long.
The gain outweighs the gain if it affects the main mission.
Don't be in a hurry, mark it, and it won't be too late to come back when the sixth-order space tearing device is completed.
A lot of medicinal materials were harvested along the way. Several pharmacists were in a good mood and talked more.
“It would be better if we put it on lockdown, otherwise so many people would flood in and destroy the ecological environment. How would it be our turn to collect and make money?”
“I haven’t been here for a few months. The state of drug growth..."
A few people were talking all the way, and suddenly, the buzzing sound came from the front again.
Dragon mosquito!
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.
Ma Xiaoyu immediately raised his hand and signaled, "Shh! Don't talk!"
After quieting down, the humming in the distance became clearer.
When everyone in the mercenary group heard the sound of the dragon mosquito, they immediately reacted, taking out their bows and arrows and pointing them at the dense forest ahead.
Buzz…
More than ten seconds later, hundreds of dragon mosquitoes emerged from the dense forest and rushed toward Fang Heng and the others. (End of this chapter)
