In the enclosed space of the villa, countless "cups of sustainability" are displayed.

Alien took the fermented puree alcohol and poured it into the largest cup.

He gestured to Huli and An Youlan, and then the two of them pushed the huge cup.

After the dull sound, dark red wine continued to flow from the cup like blood.

Soon, a pool of wine accumulated in the space where there was no gap after closing the door.

The wine pool covered the low cup, the high cup, and the large cup that was pushed over and lying sideways.

Standing high up, watching the wine overflowing my waist.

Alien picked up a small spoonful and tasted it.

"How does it taste?" An Youlan asked curiously.

"Hmm...it's sour and astringent." Alien wiped his mouth, "This is really the worst wine I have ever drunk."

The light is changing, the consciousness is distorted.

In the darkness, the golden cup floats.

The next moment, the coolness of the black forest at night touched the skin, the wind in the forest blew slowly, the bonfire still had the last remaining fuel, and the ruins of the tenth rest point were still silent.

The clothes are dry, and there is no change in the state of the body.

"You're back." Alien saw Hurley standing up not far away, and An Youlan sitting next to him stroking the golden goblet, "Is this how he is being held?"

An Youlan smiled at him: "Yes, it has stabilized. The 'Eternal Cup' is not a personal relic and can be used normally now."

"Then lend me some money for copying?"

"This is one of the uses expressly prohibited by the association and will disrupt the market economy."

"Just a little bit, no one else knows anyway, just keep it our secret, okay?"

"...No, if you need money, I can give it to you, but not in this way." An Youlan hugged the cup tightly.

Alien suddenly discovered a way to get rich - the young ladies in the Explorers Association seemed to be quite wealthy.

You can talk about joking later, the two of you can do business first.

An Youlan was being chased before and had no chance to contact the association, but now she is finally able to do so.

She placed the secret instrument in front of her. The secret instrument was floating, with three outer circles slowly rotating around the center point.

An Youlan's fingertips slowly slid over the secret instrument, and the light blue light followed the fingertips to outline characters floating in the air, slowly fluttering.

After finishing writing a short paragraph, all the characters converged into a point of light, penetrated into the central dot of the secret ritual, and disappeared.

After a moment, the secret instrument suddenly shook, and a light spot floated out from the center of the circle, scattering into a sentence and floating in the air. After tens of seconds, the bright words slowly disappeared.

Alien watched with interest as the information was passed back and forth.

In this world, instant messaging technology has not yet developed. The Explorer Association's Secret of the Seven Rings allows members to send and receive messages instantly - this is unique in Iliad.

He was thinking that if he also made a secret ritual, could he harass Olive when he had nothing to do?

——Are you there?

——What happened?

——Are you there?

This will definitely be fun.

"Okay," An Youlan happily gave a victory gesture to Alion, "I told the association that the 'Sustainable Cup' has been obtained and taken in again. The association asked me to wait here while they go with the adventurers.

Those who know will come over as soon as possible."

Waiting at the tenth rest point, there is a clear location, so there is no fear of getting lost or missing by both parties.

Alien thought about the possible dangers of waiting for rescue.

"Will there be any enemies chasing you?" Alien asked.

An Youlan thought for a while and shook his head, "The offensive and defensive battle at the twelfth rest point was very fierce. The opponent probably didn't have any extra manpower, otherwise I would have been caught long ago."

Another danger you may encounter is the beast tide, but the beast tide can also be avoided by relying on Hurri's ability.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is no big danger.

Unless the new lair owner comes here out of nowhere.

"Then let's wait here." Alion agreed.

The night was still dark, so the two decided to take turns keeping vigil.

Alien slept for a while, then woke up at dawn and exchanged with An Youlan.

The bonfire was replenished with wood several times, but the fuel materials would eventually burn out and the fire gradually dimmed. Alion got up and prepared to find some more wood nearby.

The forest is silent, as quiet as death.

There is no wind, no insects, and no animals.

A trace of light seems to leak out from the boundary between the distant mountains and forests and the sky.

The sun has not risen yet, and it is the time before dawn.

Heli didn't know when he stood next to Arion, and the figure blending in with the night stood on a ruined rock wall, staring into the distance with his head raised.

"What happened?" Alien asked softly.

Hurri growled anxiously.

[The beasts are galloping, the forest is wailing, and death is approaching.]

"A tide of beasts is coming?"

【Speak to the dead bird!】

Alien's heartbeat suddenly increased. In the night sky of the forest, black death was approaching rapidly. A strong sense of coldness engulfed his body. It was like a prey being stared at by a goshawk flying high in the sky. Now, it has begun to swoop down.

.

The magical black panther melted into the night and ran away.

Alien resisted the feeling of coldness, walked up to An Youlan, and pulled her up.

"Huh? What..." An Youlan woke up from her sleep, picked up her glasses, and looked at Alien confusedly.

He held her arms tightly, as if he wanted to shake her awake.

"The nest master is here!"

After his mind went blank for a moment, An Youlan was completely awake.

However, death also fell on the ruins.

The bonfire is out.

A faint blue candlelight appeared in the darkness.

An Youlan saw the candlelight, and then she could no longer move her eyes away. Like a body with its soul removed, it staggered towards the only light in the darkness.

The faint blue light illuminated dozens of eyeballs of different sizes in the darkness, followed by black fur all over the body and a sharp beak with sharp teeth. The sharp beak was long on the black fur ball, and a three-clawed arm raised

Seeing the candlelight that seemed to never go out, its eyeballs were densely packed at the front of its body, it spread its wings and let out a weird scream.

The master of the black forest and the new master of the nest - the death bird.

An Youlan walked to the death bird absentmindedly, raised her head like a doll, and faced the open beak full of sharp teeth.

The sharp beak pecks down to twist off the prey's head.

However, the shot missed. At the critical moment, Alien hugged An Youlan and rolled to the side.

When he first saw the blue candlelight, he also lost his mind, but the resistance of divine power made him recover. Then when he saw that his senior in life was about to become a headless senior, he subconsciously turned on bullet time and rushed over.<

/p>

So after dodging the first blow, he saw the huge monster raise its clawed front feet and step directly on the two of them.

There's no way to avoid this.

In bullet time, Alion has already made a judgment.

A premonition appeared, but it immediately dissipated.

Well, at least a beautiful girl will be with you when you die.

He was so relieved.

The next moment, the beautiful girl began to shine.

Alien looked at the light on An Youlan's body in surprise. The light supported and bounced away from the death bird's stampede, and then seemed to have taken on life and transformed into a human form.

Turned into a glowing, skinny old man.

The outline made Alien feel like he had seen it somewhere before.

The glowing old man raised his arm, bulging out something like a biceps, then the glowing voice shouted silently, and punched in the air in the direction of the death bird.
