Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 21: Farthest Forest
The rain was like hanging ropes, and the passionate raindrops fell on the windows and roofs, making a rumbling noise. Reflecting the thunder that flashed from time to time, Li Chengxi still stared at the screen.

"This key should be some key item..."

The key was found simply because when Li Chengxi saw the Guards searching Roy's room, he pressed the alt key, highlighting all the items in the room, and then found a secret compartment, and then he opened it with a few random clicks of the mouse.

In the picture, Viola keeps the key close to her body, and then leaves the screen with Shelley.

They still have a lot of things to do, such as distinguishing which of the bandits are extremely vicious and have killed people, and which are just refugees who are being forced to make a living.

Different people have different ways of dealing with it.

Li Chengxi did not turn the camera over immediately, but looked at the information of the item that he had just clicked on the side of the screen.

Name: Devil's Key

Grade: Decoration
Effect: None
Description: An ancient key with a powerful spell attached to it, ensuring it has not been lost in time and can be used to unlock a treasure.

From the description and name, we can tell that this is an important quest item, but the question is where is the treasure?

Speaking of treasure, Li Chengxi suddenly remembered the account book he took from Lord Leon's secret safe when he opened the game in the middle of the night because he couldn't sleep.

By the way, there was something in there that looked like a treasure map.

"It can't be such a coincidence...right?"

The 648th year of the Demon King Calendar.

April 5th, late at night.

Hill was tracking the escaped bandits with his men.

"Boss, the traces are here. Tracking them is easier than catching rabbits."

Perhaps due to their panic, the fleeing bandits left very clear traces behind and did not even realize the need to cover them up in the simplest way.

Hill's men chuckled when they heard this. This time the task was really not difficult at all.

"It's normal to be scared. Think about it, if you were a bandit, and you were killed by a giant finger that fell from the sky, and then you saw Princess Viola coming to your door, you would be scared and run away."

Hill made a gesture, and the group quickly tracked down the hillside in the dark like ghosts. Even some small animals hiding in the caves did not notice them passing over their heads, demonstrating their excellent professionalism.

"Stop!"

After about twenty minutes, Hill signaled his men to stop.

At this time, the group had chased from the foothills to the edge of a forest.

In the darkness of the night, you can vaguely see dim points of light floating in the forest, but you can't tell whether they are fireflies or will-o'-the-wisp.

One of her men searched for footprints on the nearby grass and judged based on the stretch of the grass leaves:

"Boss, they just passed by here, it shouldn't have been more than five minutes."

This distance is almost within reach.

But Hill did not immediately order a pursuit. Instead, he stared at the dark forest, as if searching for threats in the forest.

"Let's go back."

"Ah? You're not going to chase me anymore?"

"Don't chase them anymore. You can just report to Her Royal Highness the Princess that those people are dead."

Hill's hand was always on the hilt of the scimitar at her waist. Her men also noticed her vigilance and also reached for their weapons, looking towards the forest warily.

"I remember the locals said they didn't dare to come to this Farthest Forest to cut firewood, saying the forest would eat people. I originally thought there were just a lot of wild animals in the forest, but I didn't expect it to be so dangerous."

"Boss, what did you see?" "The whole forest is filled with spells and magic. This is not an ordinary forest. I also noticed the presence of goblins and elves. They do not welcome outsiders, including us."

Hill explained, tilting his head to listen to the sounds of the forest, a pointed ear poking out from under his hood….

The 648th year of the Demon King Calendar.

April 6th, early morning.

In the center of the Farthest Forest, which the locals are so afraid of, there is a small settlement.

In the gradually dissipating mist, Leah pushed open the small door of her tree house and quietly climbed down the rope ladder carrying the basket.

As a young or even childish elf, Leia is carefree. Most of what she thinks about every day is what to play with her friends today.

She stepped lightly on the soft grass and arranged the raspberries in the basket to make them look better.

"Yeah! Sanafay would love it!"

Suddenly realizing that her voice was a little loud, Leah quickly covered her mouth and tiptoed away from the tree house like a little squirrel.

Sanafi is her best friend, but she seems to be in low spirits recently and hasn't come out to play for several days. So Leah thought of bringing some of Sanafi's favorite raspberries to visit her.

A little further away from home, making sure she wouldn't be seen by her sister, Leah resumed her usual bouncing around.

"Hey! Cheer up and drink the herbs. Can you hear me?"

"I...maybe..."

"I won't let you leave me!"

"Cough cough!"

From the surrounding tree houses came the sounds of crying, coughing, and the painful struggles of patients.

But Leia didn't think too much about it. As she said just now, young elves don't need to think about anything else but how to spend a happy day.

Carrying the basket, Leah quietly passed through the corridor under the tree house. Then she walked forward and around a big banyan tree, and saw a pond.

Recently, her sister didn't allow Leah to come to the pond, but this road was the shortest way to Sanafi's house. Leah ran out quietly and ignored her sister's instructions.

At this time, she saw that the banyan tree, which was originally lush and leafy, was almost bald, and the surrounding grass had completely lost its vitality.
Foul-smelling dirty water.

Leah was unaware of the danger and even thought it was fun. She carefully jumped over the dirty puddles with the basket in her hand as if she was playing hopscotch, so as not to dirty the new straw sandals her sister had made for her.

"Oh, it's the water fairy sister, what are you doing lying by the pond?"

A creature that could barely maintain its shape and was made entirely of water was lying on the edge of the pond.

In the pond, the originally clear and sweet water now glowed with a purple halo.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Leah squatted down, took a handful of raspberries from the basket and placed them next to the water fairy.

"It's very sweet. It makes you energetic after eating it."

The water fairy smiled reluctantly. The clean water that originally made up her body now smelled as bad as the pond. She stuffed a raspberry into her mouth with great effort and said to Leah:

"It's sweet, but Leah, you shouldn't be here. Leave now."

"Well, I'm going to Sanafi's house. Sister Water Fairy, you should eat more so that you can have more energy."

Leah still didn't think much about it. She waved goodbye to the water fairy with her usual bright and sweet smile. She didn't notice that the water fairy's body collapsed the moment she turned around, turning into a stream of poisonous water and merging into the pond with a purple halo...
