My Endless Life

The exploration team was walking in the Immortal Forest.

There were almost identical tall trees all around, and there were almost no special road signs on the road. It was easy to get lost here.

However, the fog explorers also had their own ways.

The flow of fog was regular. The deeper you went, the thicker the fog became, and vice versa.

As long as you find the right pattern, even ordinary people can tell the direction in the fog area.

But even so, there are new fog explorers who get lost in the fog area every year.

Compared with others, it was easier for Li Qi to tell the direction.

His superpowers allowed him to determine the direction of the fog flow. Following the flow direction, Li Qi could determine whether he was going deep into the fog area or heading towards the safe area.

The leader led the team to continue moving forward. After walking for about an hour, the leader suddenly stopped and said to everyone:

"Be quiet."

Everyone held their breath and closed their mouths.

Li Qi looked in the direction of the leader and saw that he was looking up at the woods above.

In the thin mist, above the tall trees, a group of white birds that almost merged with the mist stood on the trees, looking down at the people below.

These birds were very large, almost the same size as humans.

And the most frightening thing was the appearance of these birds. Their faces were similar to those of humans, only the mouths were replaced by bird beaks.

When they saw the crowd, they were whispering to each other, as if they were discussing something in a whisper.

But the sound coming out of their mouths was only one syllable.

‘Death’.

“It’s a human-faced death-telling bird. Generally, as long as you don’t provoke them, nothing will happen. Speak softly and avoid them.”

The leader said to everyone.

Then his footsteps became lighter, and everyone followed him, carefully leaving the area under the gaze of the group of death-telling birds above.

Human-faced death-telling birds are common creatures in the first layer of the fog area. Most of them look like humans, only their mouths are similar to birds.

The sound they made was very strange, not like the chirping of birds, but like the sound of human speech.

The byte mentioned only had one word, which was ‘death’.

But other than that, they were not very threatening. As long as they were not provoked, they would not attack the creatures in front of them.

But this did not mean that they were not dangerous.

It is said that once a group of death-telling birds were provoked, the fog explorers below the heavy fog level would have no chance of survival.

The above were what Li Qi saw in the Fog Zone Encyclopedia. He did not expect to see these human-faced death-telling birds as soon as he entered the Fog Zone.

Turning his head slightly and looking at the group of human-faced birds behind him, Li Qi did not feel any fear, but instead felt more curious.

Why do these birds look like this, why can they only send out one byte, what do their bodies look like, and what kind of alchemical props can be made from their bodies...

These are what Li Qi wanted to know.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

Away from the human-faced death-telling birds, the leader's movements obviously accelerated a bit.

Everyone did not know the reason, but they could only speed up their pace behind the leader.

With such an accelerated journey, the group arrived at their destination soon.

The Lost Altar of the Immortal Forest.

"We are here. This is the Lost Altar."

Standing on the edge of the altar, the leader looked at the lost building below and said to everyone.

Li Qi stood behind everyone and looked at the altar below.

There was a large man-made open space in the jungle of giant trees that were generally tens of meters high.

The open space was full of collapsed building debris, and Li Qi also saw a broken statue among them.

The statue was broken and the face could not be seen clearly. It could only be roughly seen from the outline of the body that it was a female statue.

The leader explained to everyone:

"Inside the fog area, there are relics left by previous civilizations. Most of the relics we have obtained, as well as the materials for making relics, come from the relics left by these previous civilizations.

"Although we have explored most of the relics inside the first and second layers of the fog area, and there are no new relics and treasures, but... maybe there are lucky people among you who can find relics that have never been discovered by predecessors? "

The leader said, smiling and looking back at everyone.

However, there was no smile on the faces of these newcomers to the Tanwu family.

As the leader said, the ruins of the first and second floors are no longer a secret to the kingdom, and it is impossible for new ruins treasures to appear.

Even if there are, they are not something that the newcomers to the Tanwu family can obtain.

One of the rules that the Tanwu family must follow when they are in the fog area is not to be blinded by greed.

Sometimes the "treasures" you see may not be treasures.

Seeing that the newcomers did not react, the leader curled his lips in boredom, and then ordered:

"Okay, divide into two teams, one team follows me, and the other team follows the deputy team, enter the altar to look for materials, and the search progress must be fast. Try to collect them before the sun sets and return to Rubino. Don't think about spending the night in the fog area. The fog area at night... will be more dangerous. "

The leader said, and suddenly turned around and raised his hand to Li Qi in the crowd and said:

"You kid, follow me. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Li Qi.

Li Qi remained expressionless and responded softly:

"Yes."

After saying that, he walked out of the crowd and stood beside the leader.

…

The team was divided into two teams to explore the ruins. Li Qi followed the leader, and the two of them searched for materials for making relics in the northeast of the ruins.

The leader didn't talk much to Li Qi during this period, mainly because there were other people around, and it was not suitable for him to say anything to Li Qi.

He just took Li Qi with him, and asked Li Qi to go to certain places to collect materials from time to time. At the same time, he talked about some common sense that all fog explorers would know.

“Most of the third- and fourth-level relics have no special functions and can be made by collecting materials from the sea of ​​fog.

"Under normal circumstances, collecting these production materials is the job of newcomers exploring the Wu family."

As he spoke, he found a metal-like object from the broken stones, turned around and threw it to Li Qi.

Li Qi caught it, looked at the metallic luster on it, and put it into the small bag beside him.

The leader continued: "Relic metal is one of the most common materials in the fog area. You can see them in any ruins. They are also the main materials for making low-level relics."

Li Qi nodded slightly.

He is no stranger to this metal. Some key parts of the doll he is carrying are made of relic metal.

There is also some wood on the body, which also comes from the fog area.

Many things in the fog area have some special extraordinary characteristics, which is one of the reasons why Li Qi wants to become a fog explorer.

He wants to find the relic materials that are useful to him.

The leader continued to lead Li Qi deeper into the ruins. When they entered a relatively complete building complex and everyone else dispersed to look for materials, the leader turned to Li Qi and said:

"I heard Master Malu and Master Carol say that you have not been trained by fog explorers. I don't know what they think, but it is very dangerous to directly enter the fog area without training. The same is true even if you have relics with you.

"So you can't leave my sight all day today. The two adults asked me to take good care of you. I can't let anything happen to you in the fog area."

The strong man leader said as he continued to collect materials in the ruins altar.

Li Qi didn't refute. Although the other party seemed to look down on him, Li Qi didn't care what others thought of him.

He doesn't care about anything as long as he can complete the 'test' that Maru and Carol have given him.

The leader seemed to just give Li Qi a warning, telling him not to run around, and then there was a long silence.

Except for telling Li Qi some precautions in foggy areas, in other cases, they were just collecting materials seriously.

The two of them remained in such a quiet and harmonious state for a while.

Such tranquility lasted until the team reunited.

"Where are Soul and Willow? Where are they?"

The team rejoined and the leader realized that two people were missing from their team.

They were two novice Tanwu family members. They were both at the level of Mist and they were not very old either. They were both sixteen or seventeen years old.

After the team reunited, the leader and deputy leader discovered that they had disappeared.

When asking other people, other fog explorers couldn't tell when the two people disappeared.

Something happened.

The leader's heart skipped a beat.

It stands to reason that in the first-level fog area, as long as you explore according to the experience summarized by the predecessors, do not leave the team, and do not provoke any beings that should not be provoked, such as the previous suing bird, you can ensure your safety in the fog area.

But now someone is missing.

How could someone be missing?

This is the safest layer of fog!

The leader and deputy leader looked at each other. The young man with blue hair pulled down the goggles on his head and put them on. A special light flashed on the dark lenses.

Then everyone could see that the deputy leader's expression changed, and he turned to the leader and said:

"I can't see their breath of life! Something has probably happened to them!"

"Let's go!" After hearing this, the leader said without hesitation: "Now, leave the altar immediately! Hurry!!"

The two novices visited the Wu family and disappeared into the altar without any sound or warning.

Originally, according to the team leader's responsibilities, the leader should go find these two novice Tanwujia.

Perhaps it was too strange that the disappearance of the two newbies from the Tanwu family was too strange. For the safety of other newcomers in the team, the leader chose to evacuate immediately and return to the safe zone.

The team leader issued an order. Even if someone in the team was worried about the safety of the two missing people, they could only choose to return the same way.

A group of more than ten people hurried towards the safe area with the collected materials.

Li Qi mingled among the crowd, deliberately hiding among everyone, always paying attention to the surrounding situation.

But as he walked, Li Qi discovered that something was wrong.

He turned slightly and looked behind him.

Li Qi remembered that there should have been four Tanwu Family members behind him, and the footsteps were also very dense.

But looking back now, Li Qi found that there were only two people left behind him!

"Captain! Someone is missing again!"

Realizing this, Li Qi called to the leader without any hesitation.

The leader turned back to look at Li Qi, and then looked at the people behind Li Qi. His expression became more and more gloomy. He raised his right fist high and ordered everyone to stop and start counting the number of people again.

But when the count began, the leader realized that the missing people were not only the two that Li Qi had discovered.

There was also a fog explorer who disappeared inexplicably in the team.

Including the two people who disappeared at the altar, a total of five people disappeared from the team!

The huge team suddenly became sparse.

At the same time, an inexplicable fear spread in everyone's heart.

The experienced leader finally figured out one thing at this time.

They were probably being targeted by some "special existence" in the fog area.
