Early the next morning, when I arrived at Simba and Daga's hotel and prepared to continue class, I unexpectedly found Sa Qili standing at the door early, as if waiting for someone.

"Good morning, Aunt Qili, who are you waiting for?" I greeted with a smile.

"Waiting for an unprecedented fool."

The other party pursed his lips and smiled, his beautiful and charming eyes slightly curved, like a crescent moon, like a girl, her delicate face that has not been eroded by time at all, blooming with brilliance like a bright moon, full of charm.

"Oh, who is it? Could it be Uncle Tulakov?" I asked honestly and honestly.

"To say he is an idiot is too flattering. He is just an idiot."

"Well……"

Three seconds of silence for Tulakov.

"Let's go, it's getting late." While I was stunned, Sa Qili took a step forward, took my hand and was about to leave.

"Wait... wait, Aunt Qili, I can't go shopping with you in the morning, I have to study with Uncle Simba and Uncle Daga." I said quickly.

"Who said we were going shopping?" Looking back, Sa Qili stared.

Only then did I have time to take a look at her clothes. It really didn't look like she was going to go shopping. It gave people a simple, capable and heroic look. These were the clothes she wore when going out.

When I say going out, I mean going out for training, which is a common outfit. In the previous more than a month of training, I had seen too many people during my break. So at first glance, I actually ignored this point.

"Aunt Qili, are you...going out?"

"Aren't you stupid?"

"Wait a minute, you want me to go out together."

"Of course, otherwise why would I be waiting for you here so early in the morning?"

"In other words, the unprecedented idiot you just called refers to me?"

"Don't worry about such small things."

I:"……"

"Uncle Simba and Uncle Daga..."

"I've already said hello to them."

"Okay...where are we going?"

It seems that Sa Qili has prepared everything in advance, and I'm afraid it will be useless if I resist.

"To the dark forest."

"It's... a bit dangerous there." I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead.

I have to explain how dangerous the dark forest is. A simple example can be given. If the Cold Plains is a leveling point at lv10 and lv20, then the dark forest is a leveling point at lv30 and lv40.

It’s not that the monsters there are so much stronger than the monsters in the Cold Plains. It’s just that the environment in the dark forest is far more dangerous than that in the Cold Plains. Even experienced adventurers can easily get lost in it.

Falling into a circle surrounded by powerful monsters, or simply being hunted and ambushed by monsters, and losing one's life, it is more troublesome than the black wasteland and Taimo Highlands that will come later.

"It doesn't matter, I'll take care of it."

"Why do you suddenly want to go to the dark forest?" I was still a little confused.

"You are so verbose, little brother. What's the matter? You don't want to accompany me?" Sa Qili crossed her waist and said in mock anger.

"Young newcomer, isn't this obvious? Sa Qili is worried that you will be reckless enough to go out alone to practice reconnaissance, so she might as well keep you around her to feel more at ease."

At this time, Simba, who was biting into a meat pie and holding a bottle of fresh goat milk in his hand, came out of the door, said vaguely, and then immediately stepped out of the way, saying that he was just passing by to grab some soy sauce.

"Simba, if you have the guts, don't run away. Watch me skin you!" Sa Qili blushed and roared at him.

"Aunt Qili, thank you." After receiving Uncle Simba's prompt, I suddenly came over and was so moved that I didn't know how to thank you.

"Ahem, don't get me wrong, I just want to go out and stretch my muscles."

Sa Qili was so beautiful that she was not reserved and shy, but when Simba suddenly exposed her, she felt a little embarrassed, so she became a little arrogant.

"Let's leave quickly, otherwise the guy from the Mages Guild will nag me again." After calming down, Sa Qili pulled me and continued to take steps. This time I didn't struggle.

As for where to go, of course it's the teleportation array. You don't want to go to the dark forest by walking. Even if we give us a pair of wings, we will have to fly for a long time to get there.

But who is "that guy" that Sa Qili is talking about?

Soon I knew that it was Shashik, a tall and sturdy paladin who was waiting with a bitter look on his face. When he saw the two of us arriving, he started to complain regardless of his gentlemanly demeanor.

"Sa Qili, you not only disturbed my rest, but also made me wait here for so long. Are you so begging for help?"

"Uncle Shashik is going too?"

"Of course, it's still a bit dangerous for the two of us to go. I originally considered going with my team, but I thought that this time it was just for investigation work. If too many people go, it will alert the snake and increase unnecessary fighting. After thinking about it,

, it would be more appropriate to find someone who can bear it." As she said that, Sa Qili muttered angrily.

"I originally wanted to add Tulakov, but that kid has been missing for days because of your diamonds, so I have to forget it."

"Let's go, let's be careful in the dark forest, the three of us are enough." Shahik looked confident. Obviously, the dangerous environment there is nothing to him, a paladin.

The three of them put on their equipment and entered the teleportation array.

"Brother, this armor of yours is much more handsome." Sa Qili couldn't help but praise the dark gold ancient armor's handsomeness bonus.

"It was inconspicuous at first, but suddenly it lit up. What should I do? My sister is about to be fascinated by you."

"I care more about the first sentence than the last sentence." I replied with a grimace, causing the other two people to burst into laughter.

There was a flash of white light. We arrived at the hiding spot of the teleportation station in the dark forest.

In order to protect this location from being discovered, the method of getting out is still a cheating random teleportation. After this experience, I didn't have to rush when I arrived. Fortunately, I didn't teleport to the top of the monster like last time.

What a joy and congratulations...your sister!!!

Just as he appeared, his eyes went dark, and then his whole body was wrapped in a narrow place filled with hot and stinky smell.

I waved my sword subconsciously, and there was a hiss in front of me. A cut was made, and light penetrated. Then I saw Sa Qili and Shashik standing in front, holding their stomachs, crying with laughter.

It turned out that I was so lucky that I happened to appear within the hunting range of a forest python. As a result, I was swallowed by the python as soon as I appeared.

I poured water down from my head to clean the mucus on my body, but I kept getting unlucky.

"Brother, this is not okay. You are here to practice reconnaissance. How can you be swallowed by the enemy in one bite?"

"I'm just looking at my feet." I said awkwardly.

Moreover, this big python is just an ordinary guy and does not arouse my sense of crisis at all. This is also one of the reasons.

"Okay, don't attack the newcomer. Let's find a suitable stronghold first. If we are just contacting for investigation, we will use this stronghold as the center. Just practice nearby."

Shashik looked around and ran in one direction as if he had a certain direction.

The steps of the three of them were very light. Even if they stepped on dead branches, they did not make a sound. However, when encountering a swamp, we still tried to avoid it. There might be something big hidden in it. Although the three of us would not be afraid due to our strength, but

It would be troublesome to attract hunters.

In addition to monsters, forest monsters are also a major force here, which is also an important reason why the dark forest is more dangerous than other places.

Shashik seemed to be very familiar with this place, and did not even need Sa Qili's investigation. He walked at the front, and I was at the back, protecting the fragile Necromancer in the middle, looking around curiously and vigilantly.

I don’t know whether it is the ancient trees that have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, plus the dead branches and leaves that have fallen to the ground, that together form this world. It is true that the most terrifying things here are monsters and Warcraft, but I think the dark forest’s

The real owners should be these ancient trees.

The gloomy and humid environment is particularly uncomfortable, especially the surrounding ancient trees. Each one is almost as thick as a dozen people hugging each other, and they grow in strange shapes. There seems to be a picture on the twisted and entangled tree trunks.

The big ferocious face reveals a secret gaze from the hollow tree eyes, peering at any living thing passing by.

I couldn't help but shudder, the secret passage here was simply scarier than being in a dark cave.

Soon, Shashik, who seemed to be very familiar with this place, found a suitable base and started practicing.

"Okay, this is it. There is no shortage of monsters in the dark forest. Little brother, just use what you have learned. I will follow you and guide you."

"Well, that's great." I nodded quickly, and suddenly realized that I had overlooked something. It turned out that Sa Qili in front of me was also a master.

The reconnaissance technique she uses using skeletons is not inferior to the vision-sharing reconnaissance that Simba taught me, and is even better in terms of function, application, and difficulty.

However, Sa Qili's profession is a necromancer, and she is good at small-scale investigation in team operations. Even Simba and Daga cannot match her in this aspect.

As a lone investigator, investigating and obtaining information is not her strong point, otherwise there would be no need to trouble Simba and the Daga Cult.

Excitedly, I summoned the crow and the ghost wolf and started to make preparations. I casually told them about the strange incident I encountered yesterday when I ran out. As a result, Sa Qili and Shashik didn't believe it. They all thought that I got lost and ran to the wrong place.

, maybe he has been wandering around the camp.

What two rude guys.

After transforming into the Demon Moon Wolf Witch, I began to practice my reconnaissance skills under the guidance of Sa Qili. The strengths of the Demon Moon Wolf Witch, under the guidance of Sa Qili, an expert in mental power control, I was able to take advantage of them.

Not only in investigation, there were many things that I didn't understand before, but once Sa Qili explained them, I immediately felt enlightened. I just wished I could turn one second into two seconds, learn more from her, and ask more questions.

Damn it, why didn't you ask Sa Qili for advice during the training?
