The sky gradually darkened, and in the center of the camp, Vivian lying on the ground had been replaced with a burning fire. Nine people sat around the fire, and the fire reflected everyone's face, and the beating light made the expression on each face look cloudy and shady. No one spoke. In the small camp, the crackling sounds of firewood burning sounded from time to time, and the remaining sound was only the howlings of beasts and insects from the forest in the distance.

The atmosphere in the camp was getting dull. Although the three girls in the adventure group had rich adventure experience, they rarely formed teams with too many outsiders to complete tasks, so they were not very good at dealing with the current situation. The four silver-level mercenaries of the mercenary group, because the composition of the mercenary group was closer to the army and valued the relationship between superiors and subordinates, Dora was not easy to make decisions and liven up the atmosphere. As for Dora, she was always absent-minded and didn't know what she was thinking. The young guide Elad seemed to be out of the matter, watching the performance of the other nine people coldly, and had no idea of ​​making any changes at all.

All of this was because at dinner, the night owl who was standing still suddenly sent a warning signal saying that he had found a figure. However, when everyone searched around, there was no sign of anyone having existed. But Panis was still worried and asked the rest of the people to go back and continue to eat, while he disappeared in the twilight alone.

According to Elad, the real forest journey will be officially unfolded only if you enter the dense forest a hundred meters away. And now, before it officially begins, the mission has been cast a shadow due to the appearance of the mysterious figure.

Feeling an increasingly depressing atmosphere, Catherine finally couldn't help but break the silence: "Dora, what have you been thinking? Have you discovered any problems?"

"I'm considering the possibility." Under pressure, Dora also put away her usual inappropriateness and said seriously: "The news on my side cannot be leaked. If that figure really exists, it cannot be an adventurer passing by. After all, hiding and exploring is an obvious hostile expression. So I'm considering who the other party might be."

"Is there any result?" Catherine asked tentatively.

"No." Dora, who had been sitting next to Catherine, shook her head straightforwardly: "I need something, maybe I can figure it out like that."

"What do you need?" Catherine asked.

Dora looked at Catherine seriously, and suddenly plunged into Catherine's arms, put her hands on Catherine's waist, buried her face in her chest, and said vaguely: "I need my senior sister's arms to inspire me."

"Get out of here!" Catherine's roar resounded through the forest, causing countless wild beasts to wake up from their sleep, trembling in the nest. Dora screamed, was kicked away, drew an arc in the air, and fell heavily into the low bushes in the forest.

"Tsk tsk." Panis, who returned, happened to see Dora flying towards him. His hand that originally wanted to pick up people was seeing who was flying in clearly, and then he naturally retracted it. He looked up at the sky, and looked like he had seen nothing. He let Dora wipe him and flew by himself, and walked back to the camp leisurely: "I'm back."

"Hey, you bastard." Dora, whose brown hair was covered with dead leaves, crawled out of the bushes with difficulty and accused angrily: "You obviously saw it, you deliberately retracted your hand."

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Panis turned around and spread his hands innocently: "Also, why did you run outside the camp? It's very dangerous. Come back soon."

"I understand." Dora said angrily: "You are envious and jealous of me. You deliberately don't save me and want me to fall to death. This must be the case."

"What are you talking about in a dream?" Panis sneered: "Why do I envy you for being jealous of you?"

"Because I can bury my senior sister's breasts and you dare not." Dora put her hands on her hips and pointed at Panis and said, "You are a coward."

"I dare not? Are you kidding?" Panis sneered: "I'll make one for you to see now."

"You buried it, you buried it." Dora glared at Panis with contempt: "You will say with your mouth, are you still a man?"

"Build your chest." Panis turned around and opened his arms. Before he could do anything, he saw Catherine's trembling mouth and a bigger fist.

Another shrill scream, and the animals hiding in the nest in the forest shook even harder. However, after seeing two performances of flying people in a row, the depressed atmosphere in the camp magically disappeared. Everyone looked at Dora, who was gloating and Panis with a big dark circle, but Lina still said indifferently: "I deserve it."

"How is the reconnaissance result?" Catherine sat on a dead tree next to the fire with her hands in her chest, her face still angrily.

"There is indeed someone." Panis begged for a long time, and Vivian made a few pieces of ice for him with contempt. At this time, he was applying ice packs to dark circles and answering: "He should have stood nine hundred meters away at the beginning. Ye Xiao, you are really amazing. You are worthy of the title of Ye Xiao, and you can actually find hidden targets nine hundred meters away in the twilight."

Ye Xiao, who looked honest and looked no different from an ordinary middle-aged farmer uncle, was drinking water. He heard Panis' praise and was about to express his humility, but when he looked up, he saw a big bruise on Panis's serious face, which made him unable to help laughing. He sprayed a mouthful of water into the fire, and coughed repeatedly after being choked.

"Ahem." Catherine also suppressed her smile and coughed twice with a little embarrassedly: "Well, Panis, is the situation confirmed?"

"Confirm." Panis rubbed his eyes and replied, "Although he covered up all traces, the only thing he forgot to hide was his own smell. I smelled the human body at that location, and I couldn't make it wrong."

"Very good." Catherine nodded and said, "Anyway, at least it's confirmed that someone was indeed staring at us just now. Dora, have you thought of anything?"

"Two possibilities." Dora rubbed her butt that had just been hurt and said with a grievance: "I just said that the senior sister's warm arms can inspire me. OK, I'll say it's important to put down my sword. The first possibility is that the employer sent to keep an eye on the progress of the task, which is very likely."

Lina nodded and said lightly: "Second."

Katherine couldn't stand it anymore and knocked Lina's head: "I said, you've been like this for more than three days, why haven't you changed it yet? It's very inconvenient."

"Time." Lina did not protest, as if Catherine was knocking someone else, and she looked at Catherine straight and replied.

Catherine scratched her head in distress and guessed, "You mean, there is not enough time these days, and you don't have time to read?"

Lina didn't even say anything and nodded directly to show her affirmation.

"Oh." Katherine sighed, "How long will it take to change?"

"It's almost done."

"Give me an accurate time." Catherine looked helplessly at Lina, who was expressionless, and then looked at her sitting aside after dinner and doing nothing. She kept writing and painting on the ground and kept muttering words. Finally, she looked at Panis, who had a bruise on her face and secretly glanced at Dora's thighs, feeling that she was on the verge of collapse.

"Tomorrow." Lina tilted her head and thought for a while and replied, but finally reluctantly added a tail: "Let's go."

Catherine knocked Lina's head in distress again, turned to Dora and said, "The second one may be that the news has been leaked. Is the scout sent by the other party?"

"It's more troublesome than this." Dora frowned and said, "The second one may be that the news was leaked, but it's not the scouts from the thief, but the ones behind them. If this is the case, then our trip may not be smooth."

"Not necessarily." Panis smiled, touching his chin, "We are afraid that they will hide and remain motionless now, so it will be very difficult to find them. If it is the other party's behind the scenes, he will notify the other party, and the other party may choose to transfer the camp in panic. As long as they move, a team of hundreds of people will always leave a large number of traces, which is as obvious as standing in front of us and calling me here. Therefore, it may not be smooth."

"But what if he manages to hinder us?" Dora asked.

"Haha, my dear junior." Catherine chuckled, "Has a few years of mercenary life exhausted all your courage? Do you still remember what our purpose was when we were in the academy?"

"Knight." Dora also smiled, first laughing with self-deprecatingly, and slowly turned into pride.

"Knight." Catherine said the same thing, and the female knights' hands tightly held each other in the air.

"Never be afraid." The voices of the two young knights sounded at the same time. The crisp voice of the declaration carried the courage and glory of moving forward. It clearly had no momentum, but it was enough to move the bystanders.

"Also, my dear junior." Catherine had a strange smile on her face: "If you want to walk into the forest with your legs tomorrow, it's better to take care of your hands, don't you?"

"Haha, haha." Dora hid the hand that had just reached out to Catherine's chest again, and looked up at the sky with a dry smile.

"It's going to start." Elad, the guide who had been waiting and watching, suddenly said without a head or end.

"Yes, it's about to start." Panis sat cross-legged on the ground, holding his chin in front of the dense forest in the distance.

"What?" Catherine asked with a look of doubt: "Is something going to happen?"

"Look." Panis pointed his finger at the forest in the distance.

Under the night, the interlaced canopy covered the entire sky, and the jungle was pitch black, and there was only the firelight where everyone sat around. Beyond the firelight was darkness, and the real forest in the distance could not be seen at all. However, with Pannis' fingers, light began to lit up in the darkness. The light spots became more and more dense, and finally connected into one. The soft light illuminated the dense forest in the distance, making the dense forest like stars shining, as bright as daytime.

"What shines is the glitter vine, a kind of vine growing at the bottom of the tree that can only grow within the glitter forest and die once transplanted." Panis explained: "Because the coverage of the jungle canopy isolates the light, making it difficult to see from the outside, so such a wonder can only be discovered from the edge or inside of the forest."

"So beautiful." Vivian, who had been ecstatic, was also attracted by the attention at this time and couldn't help but exclaim: "Is this the origin of the name Shining Forest?"
