"Maybe you need your help at that time." Delya thought for a while and said, "According to the previous commander's words, what he encountered was a bit unexpected. It seemed to be very troublesome and took more time to deal with it. I passed a lot of information to me to check, and asked me to ask about the price of some jewelry. In short, many problems are now piled up in my hands. After the recruitment of the Imperial recruits this time, there were fewer people. There were still plans to recruit new members in the near future. I wanted to wait until the commander came back, and I don't think it's possible."

"Just get used to it. I remember when I first joined, the team leader couldn't get in touch for a long time. Now it's much better, and there is no valid contact information at that time." Waters smiled bitterly, "I'll bother you, Captain Hesley."

Hesley didn't expect this answer, but he had a smile on his face: "It just happened to be bored here, but in fact I think the same as you, just go out and have a look."

Having just had supper, Cassia sat by the fire looking at the simple map she had drawn, thinking about where to go tomorrow.

As he explored the surrounding terrain, he gradually became familiar with this unfamiliar area. Compared with what Grote said in the first words, the terrain has undergone tremendous changes. The impact of the huge eruption of the volcano was completely left behind. Lava flowed across the surface and completely changed the basic landform after condensation. The accompanying vibration caused many mountains to crack, and this place has become a new area in hundreds of years.

In recent days, I have been active in the mountains. After a continuous rain, the clouds in the sky were completely dispersed. The crater covered with snow was clearly visible and stained with light green. It is already considered a cold environment at high altitude, but it still cannot stop these trees with extremely strong vitality.

Around me, a pile of crystal ore reflected a little orange-red light under the fire. When exploring the terrain, Cassia also picked up a lot of jewelry ores and returned. The deep mountains were affected by "germs", and the vegetation there was a bit lush and even more distorted. Many trees were completely kneaded together, and the vines climbed up the trunks, making them more like a piece of wooden earth buns.

Added the place I walked today to the map, Cassia put down her pen and looked at the amount of food stored behind her, which could last for a week.

After exhaling, Cassia stretched out her body. Under the reduced firelight, his own body was also emitting a faint green light. I don’t know how long it started, but when Cassia noticed these, it could no longer stop it. The strange substance was bonded to the clothes and his skin.

In the mountains, this substance has increased significantly. When I first went in to explore, my exposed skin reacted. It was a slight burning sensation and it took a day or two before my body completely adapted. Although I did not molt again, Cassia felt that his resistance to this "bacterial" had increased a lot.

I didn't think clearly about what this "germ" would be. They seemed to have the power to infect any substance. And in Cassia's eyes, this substance is very dangerous, but in the danger, there is a ability that interests him very much.

The evolution of infectious substances was accelerated. Cassia didn't know if he should explain this way, but he did see this possibility in the animals he saw when he walked in the mountains for several days. He more or less discovered some places different from other common species in terms of fur, claw, body shape, or danger. They were more inclined toward real second-class creatures.

"The influence of the holy sword?" Cassia couldn't think of a second possibility, "but Grote said that it was just a second-generation holy sword, which was a copy of Avalon's early era. Shouldn't he have such ability?"

"But I don't seem to know much about the Holy Sword itself." Finally, I said a self-deprecating sentence. Cassia stood up and looked at the green mountain in front of her, sighing, "It's time to speed up."

The next morning, Cassia swam past the lake and entered the mountains again. Following the mark, he came to the end of yesterday's advance, and several twisted trees stood in front. He pulled apart the vines wrapped around him, and a forged steel sword was sinking into the trunk.

"It has been completely healed." The voice was amazed, and Cassia pulled out the forged steel sword and stepped forward to caress the light-colored bark on the trunk. It was the place he shot with a musket yesterday, and it did bombard several pits on the trunk. But it took only one night to fill the holes again, and even new bark grew.

"I am roughly in my direction. The place where Grote placed the Holy Sword should be in front."

While using a forged steel sword to open the way, Cassia observed the new landforms around her. The plants became more distorted, and the trunks began to transform towards the vines. Rocks and condensed lava were no longer visible on the ground, all kinds of ferns and mosses that like shade, and they felt soft when stepped on them.

Soon after, a crisp sound from his feet made Cassia stop.

It was a bone covered by moss, which was stained with water vapor for a long time and turned a little black. A mineral pick was found on the side, which turned into rust, almost mixed with the soil below. It was the group of people looking for minerals. During the exploration of several days, Cassia often encountered such a situation. Many corpses were left along the way, and the abandoned town were just part of this group of people.

The front also became cheerful at this time. There was only a huge prosperous tree growing there, with thick trunks, moss-covered rhizomes exposed, and in the fine roots, many human bones were rolled in it. This was a cemetery, and all the corpses discarded at the time became the nutrients for this tree.

He shook his head, and there were also prickly bones around the roots of the tree, as well as some unfinished fabrics. It seemed that this place was not only a cemetery, but also a temporary resting place for the group of people. Maybe something was left. With this idea, Cassia walked over, but his weight became a drag. He didn't take a few steps away. He suddenly felt his feet loose, and the ground around him had a chain reaction, sinking one after another.

The light suddenly disappeared from the eyes and gathered upwards into the small irregular spot on his head. Without any leverage, Cassia swayed around her body and did not catch anything that could stabilize her body. She could only try to control her body's balance. After two or three seconds, a huge force came from the soles of her feet and quickly penetrated his whole body. The bones continued to ring, and the dizziness and pain made Cassia unable to think for a while, and her head became blank.
