In the dense forest, two figures walked among the trees one behind the other.

They wear chameleon-like clothing that changes color patterns with the environment, allowing them to blend in almost perfectly with their surroundings.

Although they have the shape of a human, their heads and hands are covered with fine brown-green scales, shaped like some kind of reptile.

Xu Fengqing frowned, using the system to check the information of the two of them.

【? ? ? 】

Rating: Unfathomable.

Both of them are like this, the level difference is too big, nothing can be detected.

They are definitely not human, are they also a rare race?But why did Asai show such deep hostility towards them?

Xu Fengqing observed them calmly.

Seeing the two approaching all the way, he suddenly felt the person beside him hold his hand.

Xu Fengqing looked sideways and met Thanos' eyes.

The silver-haired man's eyes were not only cold, but also dignified. Xu Fengqing understood what he meant after a little thought.

Without waiting for Thanos to warn, he had already quietly opened a shadow barrier - he fell asleep late last night, without his magic blessing, the effect of the skill would have disappeared.

After the shadow completely enveloped the two of them, he put the quilt covering his body into the backpack, and at the same time held the dagger tightly.

All this is done in silence.

After Xu Fengqing finished all this, one of the two approaching people stopped and spoke.

It was an unfamiliar language, but Xu Fengqing could understand it with the system's instant translation function.

"Cole, wait."

The person walking behind stopped suddenly, and he listened intently, with vigilance in his movements and expressions.

"Aile, what's the matter?" Coles looked at his companion, saw that his expression was different, and quickly followed him to observe the movement around him, but found nothing.

Aile shook his head slowly, but the yellow-brown animal pupils were still turning quickly. He didn't find anything wrong, but when his strength reached a certain level, his intuition would become more sensitive.

When he passed here, he vaguely felt something was wrong.

It's not a sense of crisis, but a... feeling like being targeted by someone.

"Are you too nervous?"

After scanning for a week, Coles shook his head and said after confirming that there were only Star Beasts below three stars nearby.

They already have close to five-star strength, and the interstellar beasts in this area can't pose a threat to them.

Seeing that his companion didn't answer, Coles looked into the distance and said, "I don't know what's going on recently, the interstellar beasts have changed frequently, and a small beast tide formed last night."

"You said... did something happen to Roland?"

Baywater's nails in Roland have been pulled out in the past six months, and they have not received any more information, as if they were blind.

In order to avoid alarming the enemy, they did not go to find new hidden stakes.

Aile was looking up at the big tree where Xu Fengqing and the others were, but the leaves were so thick that he could only see the thick shadows and nothing else.

He had no choice but to look away and said, "I don't know, just go and have a look."

Coles nodded and laughed again.

"Let's go, finish the work as soon as possible and go back. When the layout here is over, I have to go to the next place. Now I am looking forward to what I did four years ago... Hehe..."

The lizard man with a calm face glanced at him, without refuting, he lifted his feet and continued to move forward.

After the two lizardmen left, Xu Fengqing breathed a sigh of relief.

They were able to walk unscrupulously in the jungle, obviously confident, and they were probably stronger than Asai in terms of strength.

If possible, he naturally didn't want to confront these two NPCs, because no matter how they looked at them, they were neither enemies nor friends, and A Sai's expression also showed this point well.

Thanos bit his lower lip firmly. He couldn't speak the Bewat language, but he could listen. He heard all the words of the two Bewat people.

Why did people from the Baywater Star appear on Aixue?

Has Aixuexing's safe channel been cracked?Or has the imperial city fallen?and……

They just said four years ago.

Did the beast tide four years ago have anything to do with the Baywater people?Is this their handwriting?

"Asay?"

The man called out to him in a low voice and brought Thanos back to his senses. Only then did he feel the tingling and a bloody smell coming from his lower lip—he bit his lip so hard that he tore it.

Thanos wiped it casually, and the wound on his lips was quickly healed by the water healing technique.

Then, looking at Xu Fengqing, he couldn't restrain himself and said: "Fengqing, I know you don't want to have any contact with me, you don't want to know my identity, and you don't want to talk about yourself."

"But now, I still hope you can tell me, are you...from Roland?"

Otherwise, why would you speak such pure Rolandian?

Xu Fengqing looked at his serious expression, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I belong to the Roland camp."

He can open Roland's camp warehouse, so this rare race number also belongs to Roland's camp.

Thanos knew that because the entire planet Aixue was recognized as the territory of Roland, all creatures on the planet Aixue were considered to belong to the Roland Empire in the interstellar world.

He wasn't sure if Feng Qing was talking about this concept.

but……

At least this Mr. Ancient Beast recognized Roland.

Thinking of this, Sanos frowned slightly, and he asked again: "Then have you been to the Imperial City of Roland recently? In the past four years?"

He was eager to know the situation in his homeland, and wondered if Roland had been taken over by those hateful Bewat people...

Seeing his nervous appearance, Xu Fengqing thought for a while and said, "Although I haven't been there, I probably know something about it."

He briefly talked about what he learned. For example, there are only five main cities left in Roland, for example, there is a guardian circle, and Roland's main city is not afraid of the threat of interstellar beasts.

Thanos listened quietly to his description, he had heard Xiao Wu say these things, and now he could finally be sure that what Xiao Wu said was true.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At least, Roland hasn't been completely shattered yet, they still have hope!

It's just how did those people from Beywater come to Aixue?What are they planning behind the scenes?

Thanos was thinking, his brows furrowed deeply.

He originally wanted to return to Sirin's side as soon as possible, but suddenly became less eager.

He couldn't just sit idly by, his intuition told him that these lizardmen were plotting a bigger conspiracy!

but……

Thanos lowered his head, looked at his crippled body, he couldn't do anything now, could Feng Qing help him?No, it won't work, he can't be allowed to take such a big risk.

Thinking of this, Thanos couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

"What are you worrying about?" Xu Fengqing frowned, "Those two humanoid creatures...do you know them?"

"They are people from the Baywater Star."

Thanos said affirmatively, "Since a long time ago, they have been coveting Roland's land and are our enemies."

"Because of Aixuexing's special environment, they have been unable to enter Roland and carry out their invasion plan, but now they appear here..."

Xu Fengqing understood what he was worried about, and vaguely remembered that in the materials given to him by the game team, there was indeed an introduction about Roland's hostile forces.

Although he forgot when the hostile faction was originally scheduled to appear, it was absolutely impossible to appear at this point in the first week of the public beta.

At most, the human traitor NPC starts to contact the players, lures them to join the hostile camp, and then gradually reveals the true face and related gameplay of the hostile camp as the plot develops.

Just then, the system prompt sounded.

[Ding~Successfully triggered the legendary mission [The Conspiracy of the Bewat Stars]]

[Description: You found traces of the Bewat Stars far away from the original border of Roland. They seem to be planning something]

[Mission content: Find out why the Beiwat Stars appeared in the Roland Empire, and the plans of the Beiwat Stars]

[Quest Reward: Unknown]

Seeing this task reminder, Xu Fengqing sighed deeply in his heart.

He already understood that, no doubt, it was because his account was too far away from the city where the novice was born that this plot was triggered in advance.

No player would go deep into such a remote jungle at the beginning of the public beta, the original border of Roland... that is at least tens of thousands of miles away from the imperial city of Roland!

And this is obviously unreasonable.

Xu Fengqing always believes that he is the publisher of the game, not the player, so his behavior in the game is extremely restrained.

He has been trying to avoid the impact on the game, although, saving Thanos, this act itself may be the biggest impact.

So now, it is impossible for him to complete this legendary mission. The trigger and completion of this plot should be the player, not him.

Thinking of this, Xu Fengqing closed the task interface.

He looked at Thanos and said, "Let's continue to look for your companion."

Thanos looked at the direction in which the two lizardmen left with some confusion.

He was still a little unwilling to give up such clues, although he also understood that if he couldn't get the news out, it would be useless even if he found out the truth...

At this moment, Thanos' pupils suddenly shrank.

Just as Xu Fengqing was about to speak, he felt a huge force coming from his chest - he watched Thanos stretch out his left hand and push him down the tree trunk.

As he fell, Thanos fell with him because of the pull of the belt connecting them.

Xu Fengqing took advantage of the situation to hug him, and when he looked up, he saw a small hole silently sunken in the place where they were just now, as if hit by a bullet.

Then under his gaze, the small holes spread around, corroding the bark, exposing the underlying fibrous tissue, and there is a tendency to continue corroding!

"It was hidden."

Xu Fengqing fell from mid-air, rolled on the ground with Thanos in his arms, and when he got up again, he saw two lizardmen standing not far from them.

One of them, named Coles, was holding a high-tech gun in his hand, and it was obvious that he had fired the gun just now.

"Aile, you're too smart, how do you know there's someone in the tree?" the lizardman asked his companion while playing with the weapon in his hand.

Ayler kicked a nutshell on the floor.

Xu Fengqing could tell at a glance that they threw it down from the tree last night after eating!
