Leaving the campsite, walking around the sea of ​​death fog along the forest on the edge of the canyon, and then moving forward for no more than half an hour with the light of the flashing vine, then entering the range of the Broken Skull Hill.

As the name suggests, this place is a hilly terrain, covering an area of ​​about 300 square kilometers. The rolling hills are tall or short, and the hills are covered with vegetation. Although the ground does not have very thick deciduous layers as before, it makes progress more difficult because of the complex terrain and a large number of dense vines.

More than 2,000 animals and insect creatures live in the skull-breaking hills, forming a self-consistent complex ecological structure. At the top of the ecological structure in the entire region is a group ape called mountain ape. This kind of ape has simple wisdom, but is not enough to be considered a wise creature, so it is still classified as a monster. They are very powerful and have very low magic resistance. They can use simple weapons. They are actually just thick wooden sticks made of simple processing of huge trunks. They wield hundreds of kilograms of giant trees during battles. They like to smash the enemy's skulls. The name of skulls is also named because of their existence.

Mountain apes usually live on trees in the skull-breaking hills. When they encounter bad weather, they hide in several shallow caves in the hills. Their total number is about one thousand and their strength is not even average, but overall they are above the bronze level. About half of their members are silver-level monsters, and about thirty golden levels. As the leader, the ape king has the power of high-level gold. He can even use simple and primitive fighting spirit. He is one of the most unique and strongest races among the group-based monsters in the flash forest.

Mountain apes are omnivorous, and they are picking plants and hunting at the same time. They are not very aggressive. Even if they encounter them when passing through hills, if they are not encountered by hunting troops, or even if they are encountered by hunting troops, their ethnic groups are not in a very hungry state, they are likely not to be attacked.

Stepping onto the land of the Broken Skull Hills, a group of ten people changed their way of moving forward. The team was led by Dora and Catherine, who used the physical fitness of the Golden-level Knight far beyond others to clear the vines and drive the passage. The guide Elad still followed the leader, constantly pointing out the direction of the way to prevent getting lost while avoiding some unnecessary troubles. As the team's viewing hand, Night Owl followed the team from the canopy for a long time. With rich experience in the wild, he could adapt to this job and observe the surroundings condescendingly to help the team provide alert. The gopher from Kulan was the most adaptable to the environment here. He was used to mountain life and moved quickly in the hilly areas and had no difference in the degree of smoothness, so he was responsible for walking through the teams. Shadow Wolf lurking in Kai

In the shadow behind Serene or Dora, they are ready to defend against the enemy at any time. Originally, Shadow Wolf wanted to lurk in the shadows of plants on both sides to follow the team, but was stopped by Panis. In Panis's words, many monsters in the forest have much higher abilities than human professions. The stealth of thieves can be hidden from professions, but it is difficult to hide from the monsters. Instead, they will be attacked by the monsters alone because they leave the large army. The remaining three spellcasters, Fantasy Fox, Vivian and Lina, have been walking in the middle of the team as usual, just need to maintain their own state and do not have to bear any work at all. As for the team's work behind the back, Panis is obviously responsible for ensuring that no one falls behind or deviates from the direction, and ensuring that no monsters track and attack the entire team from behind.

"Crash," a sound of falling rocks sounded from the front of the team.

"Senior sister, be careful." Dora's somewhat worried voice came.

At the front of the entire team, Catherine held a jungle machete in one hand and grabbed the branches on the side with the other, chopping the vines, weeds and branches blocking the road in the front, while climbing up along the steep slope. The soil on the slope is very loose, and if you are not careful when moving forward, it will slide down the steep slope. Just now, Catherine broke the floating soil and slipped down while cutting the branches. She held the branches with her left hand to stabilize her body.

"I'm fine." Catherine climbed up a few steps hard, stood back and said: "It's really hard to walk here. How far has it been after so long."

"Professionals who are not familiar with the forest often walk at most seven or eight kilometers a day." Panis's voice came from the end of the team: "Even if the hunter who is most familiar with the forest, he only walks about fifteen kilometers a day. Elad, you are about the same."

"My fastest speed is at this. If I have stronger strength, I should be faster." Elard began to breathe even now: "But our current speed is acceptable. I will not go so fast unless I have to. I can only control the speed to walk ten kilometers a day."

"Senior sister, please take a break." Dora crossed over Catherine: "I'll open the way."

The person who walks in the front to open the road is the hardest in the entire team, and it is the case in all aspects. In terms of physical strength, the person who opens the road not only needs to provide the entire team with a path that can allow for the minimum normal passage, but also reserves physical strength at any time to prevent the head-on attack of various monsters, and the burden is several times heavier than the person behind it. In terms of psychological aspects, the leader faces unknown every step, terrain, plants, monsters, events, everything is unknown and needs to be explored step by step, while others just need to follow forward. The psychological pressure brought by the difference between the two cannot be underestimated.

The most critical danger does not come from the terrain or monsters, but from the behavior of opening the way. Many plants are passively aggressive, full of burrs, and the burrs are mostly strongly toxic. Many insects, snakes and monsters are even more camouflage. While opening the road, they often step into the traps they set up without paying attention. For example, half an hour ago, Catherine reached out to grab a solid branch while climbing the slope, but in fact, this branch was disguised as a gray-brown poisonous snake. If Catherine had not been keen to throw the snake out in time, it would inevitably be bitten by the snake, and detoxification would be wasted a lot of time.

The small team was struggling to advance in the hilly areas while the two female knights took turns to lead the way. The purpose of the team was to cross the cranial hills and reach the banks of the Naramia River. This journey meandered and about thirty kilometers was calculated. It was expected that it would take five days to travel among the hills to reach. This made the team that had enough of the advancement in the hilly areas feel a little painful.

"Huh, we're finally here." Dora sat on a stone on the top of the mountain like a force, too lazy to move, but just sat and gasped. On the top of the hill was a gravel open space, with only more than 100 square meters of space, and there was no plant growth in the range. You can see the night sky before dawn above you by looking up. Although there are no glitter vines here, the sparse jungle forest outside the gravel open space is enough to cover it, giving people the feeling of sitting in an open-air room with bright lights, which is a unique fun.

"It's almost dawn." The whole team walked into the gravel clearing. Panis looked up at the dark night sky: "There are about fifteen minutes left, and the lights are going to be turned off in the forest. It's half over today's journey. Everyone eats something to replenish their energy, rest for an hour and fifteen minutes, and let's set off when the forest has a better vision."

"Half over?" Vivian sat on the stone, rubbing her forehead with an unnaturally expression. When she saw Panis looking over, she forced herself to smile: "How long will it take to go? You won't want to walk all day again."

"Of course not." Panis sighed secretly in his heart, but said nothing: "Let's leave on time at 7 o'clock in the morning, walk for six hours, and we should be able to reach the next top of the mountain. We will camp in the open space on the top of the mountain."

"I feel like you are much more familiar with this place than those in the Mist Forest before." Catherine said, "Have you been here before?"

"Yeah." Panis didn't hide anything: "I came a few times many years ago and passed here on the way, so I'm more familiar with it."

"And you are very familiar with the plants here." Lina asked curiously: "If you hadn't reminded Dora just now, she would have been hurt by that plant. Who would have thought that if that kind of plant was held, it would have exposed burrs and could pierce through the gaps in the chain armor."

"There is no way. Actually, I am very familiar with most plants in the Yara continent." Panis shrugged: "When I was a child, I thought of being a botanical research scholar."

Although Panis said with a smile, there was a bit of bitterness in his smile, as if he remembered some bad memories. Indeed, those childhood memories were not very beautiful, but without the experience of that period, he could not be familiar with the characteristics of each plant as he is now. Everything is always so difficult to make a decision.

Seeing everyone devouring the food they had prepared when they camped, Pannis lightly climbed up the canopy along a tree outside the open space and soon disappeared from sight. The mercenaries had now fully understood Pannis' ability in the wild. No one was surprised to see him disappear, but just watched silently. Not long after, Pannis slowly climbed up the slope of the hill, walked back to the open space, took out some thumb-sized wild fruits from their backpack, and threw them to everyone one by one.

"What is this?" Dora played with the lilac fruit: "It smelled nothing."

"This kind of fruit is called a water source." Panis pointed to Elad, who was very happy to pick up the fruit and ate it immediately: "Eating two can reduce the thirst in his mouth, and it can last about four or five hours. Although it cannot replace drinking water, it can make his throat feel much more comfortable after a lot of exercise."

"It's rare that you can find so many." Elard exclaimed: "This kind of fruit grows at the top of trees dozens of meters high, and the yield is not high. I rarely have the energy to find such things when I go to the forest. You can actually find more than twenty at once, which is really not easy."
