Among the dense bushes, even the caravans were enough to pass despite the wide roads.

But these twisted bushes gathered overhead into dense canopys, resulting in the gentle sunshine that could not dispel the deep shadows of the forest paths.

At this time, a crisp sound of horse hooves came from afar, and then several blurred figures appeared in the dim path gradually became clear from far to near.

Andrea rode on the horse, lifted up the scattered hair on her forehead, looked at Thorne, who was walking in the front and remained silent all the way, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and shook her head helplessly.

Looking at the curved and strange tangled branches on both sides of the woods, the dense branches and leaves were flashing from time to time, and the strange bird songs from time to time in the depths.

All kinds of gloomy and terrifying scenes immediately appeared in Andrea's mind.

drive!

Then she patted the horse and rebuked it lightly. The light horse under her seat raised a breeze from the side of the troll Trundel, and soon rushed to Thorne in front of the front.

Andrea rolled over and dismounted, pulling the reins and walking side by side with Thorne.

"What kind of trees are these? Why are there light blue lights on the leaves from time to time? It looks weird." Andrea asked casually when she noticed Thorne's slowing pace.

"The name of this tree is blue leaf tree. It does not mean that its leaves are blue, but because the juice after the leaves are crushed can be made into bright blue dye. This color of cloth is the favorite of the nobles.

If the leaves burn, they will also produce jumping blue flames. The stove in the tavern in Yuanshan Town often likes to burn these leaves to liven up the atmosphere. It’s very beautiful, you can try it.”

Thorne took a look at a fallen leaf, threw it away and said.

When Andrea heard this, a curiosity flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Immediately, my fingers moved slightly, and two light yellow leaves slowly fell to my palms. When they touched my palms, the leaves burned strangely, and beautiful blue flames were beating in the dim dense forest.

Looking at the blue flames that were beating with his palms, Andrea waved his hand gently, and the leaves that turned into ashes immediately dissipated with the wind.

"Then how far is this place from the far mountain town?" Andrea continued to ask.

"It's almost time to get out of this blue leaf forest. At the current speed, it's about two hours. Although it has turned into a ruin, it's still okay to spend one night."

Thorne said, looking at the deep path ahead.

Rust!

At this time, a sensation appeared on the bushes on the left side of the road, which immediately attracted Thorne's attention.

So Thorne stopped and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a little injured animal." Thorne noticed Andrea's plan to prepare a spell and signaled her not to be impulsive.

As soon as he finished speaking, a black wild boar the size of a native dog came out of the bushes. He kept humming, and his blood-covered eyes looked alertly at Thorne and the other two.

Seeing this scene, the little devil Simba suddenly appeared from Andrea's shoulder, slapped the dark red leather wings and flew to the top of Trundel's head, landed on his hair like a chicken coop and said excitedly:

"That's great, a wild boar cub can finally be eaten tonight. I haven't eaten the barbecue made by Trundel for a long time."

When Trundel heard this, he smiled, grabbed Simba's little tail gently, put it on his shoulder, looked at the injured wild boar cub, and his throat squirmed slightly.

Then Trundel immediately walked towards the boar cub.

"Wait a moment!"

Thorne frowned and called Trundel.

Seeing the troll looking at him in confusion, Thorne ignored it.

Instead, he stretched out his hands to make a harmless gesture to the wild boar cub, and walked carefully to it amid the uneasy humming of the wild boar cub.

Thorne gently stroked the hard hair standing up by the wild boar cub. Slowly, the hostility in the wild boar cub's eyes gradually dissipated, and finally lay down at Thorne's feet and whimpered gently.

Looking at the little wild boar who had become well-behaved and gentle, a smile appeared on Thorne's face.

The two professions of Ranger and Druid are born with a special ability: wild identification.

This ability can eliminate the hostility of wild beasts with not very high intelligence in the wilderness to themselves, thereby obtaining some animals' help or some information.

Thorne then turned his eyes to a wound on the back of the wild boar cub.

"It looks like it was injured by a sharp blade, but why are there so many rust around the wound?" Thorne said to himself with some confusion as he looked at the wound.

So he dipped a little blood from the wound with his hands and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it lightly.

There is a negative energy breath, is it the necromancer?

Thorne felt a cold breath and couldn't help but guess.

However, this idea was quickly denied, because if it was really a necromancer, it would be impossible for even a little wild boar to be killed.

Then it is very likely that it is a dead creature. Thorne looked at the well-behaved and gentle wild boar cub, comforted it gently, and then carefully examined it.

After all the checks were completed, the doubts on Thorne's face had almost completely dissipated.

Because he found traces of impact on the wild boar's head, and the fur on the traces was also stained with negative energy aura.

From this we can see that when this little wild boar wanders in the dense forest, it is very likely that he will encounter a naturally transformed skeleton.

Then he hit the skeleton directly, and while smashing it, his back was also injured by the rusty blade in the skeleton's hands.

Among the undead creatures, skeletons are undoubtedly the weakest, especially those that are naturally transformed by the overflowing undead energy.

This kind of skeleton is not blessed by the caster's various spells. The bones that have almost weathered over the years are almost shattered.

Apart from being able to scare children by looking at them, it is almost useless.

So it is not uncommon for a little wild boar to smash a skeleton.

However, in a wilderness, it is impossible to appear undead creatures for no reason.

If a dead creature suddenly appears nearby, the first thing that comes to mind is the necromancer, and then you will feel that the underground tomb somewhere has been accidentally broken.

Thorne thought about it and directly eliminated the possibility of the necromancer.

After all, even the lowest-level skeleton summoned by a necromancer cannot even kill a wild boar cub.

Now there is only one possibility left, with underground ruins or tombs nearby.

Thorne's spiritual thoughts become active and exploring underground ruins means that he will encounter various dangers and there will be many opportunities, which naturally does not want to miss.

So Thorne took out a medical bag and bandaged the wound of the wild boar cub, waved his hand to signal the other party to leave.

Seeing it disappearing deep in the jungle, Thorne immediately took out the wooden holy emblem inside her sleeve and pressed it against her brow.

——"One Ring of Divine Art: Exploring the Earth Veins!"

As Thorne chanted the spell in a low voice, the holy emblem gradually appeared with light green aura, spreading from Thorne to the surroundings at an extremely fast speed.

After a while.

Thorne slowly opened his eyes and recalled the scene that appeared in his mind.

From here, you will walk about 10 kilometers northwest. There is a clear lake, and there is a hidden lich nest on the other side of the lake.

The secret nest of the lich?

It seems that the little skeleton is likely transformed from the negative energy aura overflowing from the Lich Nest.

Thorne muttered alone.

The magical art of earth vein exploration he just used can allow him to detect rivers, lakes, villages, or some cave nests within 50 kilometers nearby.

This magic technique was obtained in the hunting ceremony after he killed Mala's believers last night.

At that time, he obtained three first-ring divine magic positions and one-ring divine magic. In addition to the exploration of the earth veins, he also had no traces of whereabouts and fresh traces.

The function of the former is to hide one's own odor and traces, while the latter can reveal traces of walking on the ground within nearly a month after use.

It is very useful for Ranger tracking or counter-tracking.

Then Thorne waved his hand and signaled the two men who were puzzled to continue walking towards Yuanshan Town.

The lich's nest I just discovered was not very far from Yuanshan Town, so he planned to go and check it alone after arriving at the ruins of Yuanshan Town.
Chapter completed!
