Chapter 88: Ruins
"No need, I like to act alone."
Kurosawa waved his hand.
Declined the invitation from two adult female elf masters to form a team.
Standing at the entrance to the forest near Black Mountain, Kurosawa checked his storage bracelet.
After confirming that the supplies were sufficient, he walked into the forest with Little Shining and Nightmare Mayfly.
There is a straight road at the forest entrance of Houshi Town, which leads all the way to the depths of the forest.
In addition to being rich in ordinary minerals, there are also many subspaces that produce special magical minerals near Black Mountain.
It's just that those resource spaces belong to the Furukawa City Alliance, and a large number of staff develop around those resource spaces, which also provides many jobs for Furukawa City.
Kurosawa took the map and left the road to move forward in the forest, not staying at the outskirts of the forest.
There are many elves trying their luck on the outskirts of the forest.
Although only professional-level elf masters have permission to explore the wild and can use the alliance's safe houses and various facilities in the wild, if registered elf masters risk their lives to explore the wild, it will be difficult for the alliance to intervene and can only
dissuade.
Of course, most registered elf masters will only operate in areas on the fringes of cities. If you go too deep, you really don't take your own life seriously.
Humans and elves seem to have reached a certain tacit understanding. The wild belongs to the elves, while the city belongs to humans. Although there are occasional conflicts, they can generally maintain a relatively stable situation.
Kurosawa quickly shuttled through the forest.
Turn on the power of nature from time to time and sense the nearby environment.
For most of the day, he went deep into the forest.
Along the way, I harvested a few grass fruits, which were absorbed and converted into nutritional value, which was better than nothing.
The forest area near Black Mountain is astonishingly large. Hundreds of thousands of elf masters entering the forest are like fish entering the sea, unable to touch each other at all.
Kurosawa set up his camp at Anza by a small lake and planned to use it as a base to conduct a comprehensive exploration of the surrounding area.
While exploring and looking for the ruins, he did not intend to relax his daily training.
After all, searching for ruins depends on luck. It does not mean that if you put in the time, you will definitely gain something.
...
Steep cliff.
Kurosawa's body was covered with lightning.
Having entered the Zeus state, his right hand turned into an electric blade and inserted into the hard stone wall.
The whole body continues to use force to climb up the rock.
Different from the high-intensity form that needs to maintain strong penetration during combat, when training the body in Zeus mode, the energy of the whole body must be maintained relatively smoothly.
As much as possible, every muscle in the body should be trained by the thunder attribute energy in Zeus mode, and maintain it for a relatively long time.
Kurosawa gritted his teeth and persisted.
The muscle fibers are constantly trembling due to the stimulation of the arc.
But he still didn't stop and continued to climb up and exercise.
Sweat slid down his cheeks.
The Nightmare Mayfly floated nervously beside him.
When he loses strength, be prepared to cooperate with the pop-up Little Shining to catch him in the air and send him smoothly to the ground.
It is not as big as the little Shining. Although it cannot fly with Kurosawa, it can still glide a certain distance in a short time.
Kurosawa's chest rose and fell violently.
He climbed the cliff for quite some distance.
Looking down, the trees have turned into small green dots.
Kurosawa swallowed and couldn't help feeling dizzy in his head.
He is a little afraid of heights.
But this is also the purpose of his training, to overcome his fear of heights.
At the same time, in a relatively tense mental state, the effect of using Zeus for physical exercise will be better, which he only discovered recently.
"呲呲呲——"
The moment before he lost strength, he climbed over to the top of the cliff.
Little Shining pops out of his body.
"Huhu."
Kurosawa was too tired to move and lay on the edge of the cliff, panting.
Little Shining and Nightmare Mayfly were on guard around him, protecting him when he was tired.
The cliff is high and steep, and as far as the eye can see, there is a lush green sea at the bottom of the mountain.
When the wind blows, the leaves sway like waves in the ocean.
The nutritional value is only moderately helpful in restoring physical energy, but with the help of the power of nature, the effect is quite good.
Kurosawa didn't know how long he rested.
After the soreness in his hands and feet subsided, he slowly got up from the ground.
Brush the dust off your clothes.
Strictly speaking, he didn't climb to the top.
The place where he is now is on a rock platform at a vertical height of about one to two hundred meters above the ground, with the main vein of the Black Mountain stretching upward above his head.
This cliff was a training site he specifically sought out. It was steep enough and the rock texture was very hard.
He searches for ruins in the forest every morning and fights the wild elves he encounters, and trains in the afternoon.
First, train the elven skills in the open space under the cliff. As dusk approaches, use Zeus to consume physical energy for personal physical exercise.
Very regular.
Sometimes he is so immersed in training that he forgets that he is here to find relics.
But there's nothing he can do about it. Even if he has the super-sense of the power of nature, it's still very difficult to find a tiny node in the endless forest.
So, now he just lets it happen and doesn't force it.
He plans to search while practicing. Training is the main thing, and searching for relics is incidental.
Be mentally prepared and you won't feel too bad if you gain nothing.
After the alienation phenomenon in the nearby space disappears, we can continue our journey.
Sit on the 100-meter-high cliff and enjoy the sunset scenery.
This was his first time climbing here, and he couldn't bear to go down too quickly.
After sitting cross-legged quietly for a while, he got up.
Just when he was about to let Little Shining and Nightmare Mayfly take him down, he suddenly noticed a subtle difference in the power of nature.
There seemed to be something unusual in the distance extending along the cliff platform where he was.
This feeling comes from a few grasses in the gaps between the stones.
There were not many plants on the rock wall, and he received relatively little information.
Therefore, those extremely weak abnormalities can only be exposed with limited information.
Kurosawa, who sensed the strange fluctuation, looked at Little Shining.
A thin layer of thunder clothes rose up from his body.
Then follow the breath and carefully walk on the narrow path.
The place he was walking on looked like a plank road built along a cliff, but there were no handrails, and the ground was uneven. If he lost his footing, he would fall down a hundred meters high cliff.
It's very windy here, so be careful when walking.
Walk a good distance cautiously.
He finally found a crack two meters high and about forty centimeters wide on the cliff.
There were several weeds taking root at the entrance of the fissure, and Kurosawa used them as a catalyst to detect the abnormality in the super-sense of the power of nature.
The cracks look very deep.
He turned on the flashlight and slowly moved sideways towards it.
Fortunately, I don't have claustrophobia.
