Forest Fairy understand things quickly, and their understanding is generally different from that of ordinary people.
The fairy clung to Qin Ze's clothes on his shoulder and flew like that for a whole day and night.
Every time Qin Ze asked how far it was, this guy would say, "Almost there, almost there."
The scenery on both sides flashed by quickly. Qin Ze yawned. "How much further?"
The fairy replied, "Soon!"
Miss Sword Case whispered, "This fairy is a simpleton."
Qin Ze nodded.
Miss Sword Case doesn't have many opponents she can outsmart.
Bai Bai 50/50 split.
At this point, the Light-Speed Fairy counts as one.
Qin Ze said on the Local Area Network, "I'm going to take a nap. Wake me up when we get there."
He hadn't slept a wink since the Myriad Races Black Market began.
Although Level Nine Martial Artist could survive without eating, drinking, or sleeping.
But Qin Ze always felt something was missing.
Just as Qin Ze closed his eyes, his clone on the Local Area Network shouted, "We're here! We're here! Pretty God, we've arrived!"
Qin Ze thought that the cattle and horses were deliberately trying to prevent him from taking a rest.
When he opened his eyes, he indeed saw a battle line stretching for several kilometers, laid out on the distant horizon.
The Light-Speed Fairy exclaimed excitedly, "The blocking position that the General ordered to be set up is just ahead!"
"The general will be very happy to know that I have invited the Senior Dasha!"
It has to be said that the person who set up this ambush position must have had two good spawns.
The front line is nearly ten kilometers long and extends dozens of kilometers in depth.
The area is crisscrossed with ravines, deep pits, and traps.
It can indeed effectively block the beast tide when it comes.
To Qin Ze's surprise, it wasn't just the fairies who were busy building things up at the front line.
The main force consisted of burly men, eight feet tall, with large hands and feet, and dark brown skin as rough as tree bark.
Each of them had a branch leaning forward with bright green leaves stuck in their forehead.
In terms of size, they are the complete opposite of Forest Fairy.
The strong men dug diligently with shovels, while Forest Fairy carried tree fruits back and forth across the area, delivering supplies to those in need.
Just as Qin Ze had guessed, the Forest Clan really did eat tree fruits like candy.
Qin Ze discovered that when the strong men were working in place, countless roots would extend outwards from around their feet and deeply penetrate the soil.
They maintain their peak condition by drawing scarce nutrients from the Abyss through their root systems.
Qin Ze asked curiously, "Are they also from the Forest Clan?"
The Light-Speed Fairy nodded. "They are tree spirits, and their main responsibility is planting trees."
Qin Ze asked, "And what about you?"
The Light-Speed Fairy replied, "A fairy's job is artificial pollination and harvesting fruit."
Human Race, Maka Race, Blue Flame Race, Sea of Glaze, Molten Steel, Illusion Race...
The civilizations that Qin Ze has personally experienced and witnessed are all dominated by a certain advanced intelligent life form in the world.
This was the first time he had ever seen a civilization like the Forest Clan, where two highly intelligent life forms complemented each other.
The combination of Forest Fairy and forest tree spirits can indeed complement each other's strengths and weaknesses.
Upon reaching the front lines, the Forest Fairy resumed its normal speed.
The tree spirits and fairies around him all cast curious glances at Qin Ze.
The Light-Speed Fairy puffed out his chest and proudly introduced Qin Ze to everyone.
"This is Senior Dasha that I invited; he's a very skilled person!"
"With just the slightest flick of a finger, those monsters will vanish into thin air."
The tree spirits remained rooted to the ground, silent, simply watching Qin Ze.
In contrast, the fairies around them were much more lively.
They quickly swarmed over, surrounding Qin Ze in layers, leaving him no way to get through.
"Really? Is he that good?"
"Wouldn't that make him even stronger than Sage?"
"Impossible, the Sage is the most powerful in the world."
Sage said, there are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding; no one is always the most powerful.
"This Senior Dasha looks thin and frail; he doesn't seem like someone who's very capable."
"..."
Upon hearing his companions' doubts, the Light-Speed Fairy immediately put his hands on his hips.
"I've personally witnessed the Senior Dasha take action!"
"He killed those monsters as easily as drinking water or eating."
The surrounding fairies stared wide-eyed at Qin Ze, their gazes filled with adoration. They swarmed around him like devoted fans.
Qin Ze was helpless.
These Forest Fairy are so naive and carefree.
They dared to get so close to me, a complete stranger.
Another fairy struggled through the crowd and approached Qin Ze: "Senior, the general is waiting for you in the command area and wishes to speak with you personally."
Qin Ze nodded slightly. "Lead the way."
The Light-Speed Fairy said to Qin Ze, " Senior Dasha, my mission is complete, so I won't accompany you."
The fairies have never left their world.
Even if the Abyss Gate opens, they will only wander around the battlefield.
For this reason, the Light-Speed Fairy can be considered the number one Abyss traveler among the Forest Clan, becoming a highly sought-after celebrity.
In order to enjoy the treatment of a hero, the Light-Speed Fairy abandoned his Senior Dasha.
Led by the communication fairy, Qin Ze moved along the center line of the position.
Qin Ze discovered that, in addition to ordinary traps and trenches, there were many formations laid deep within the position.
Even though he didn't have a deep understanding of formations, he could tell that these formations were very ancient, dating back a long time.
Brother Devour said, "If I'm not mistaken, these formations were taught to them by that Sage."
Fairies and tree spirits spend their days farming; they don't waste skill points on formations.
Qin Ze nodded, then asked, "Is it safe now?"
Brother Devour chuckled, "Not very lucky, I landed on the heads of a bunch of alien beasts, including an S-rank alien beast commander."
"I originally planned to catch the leader of the pack, but that guy was really cunning. He kept sending cannon fodder monsters to deliver the damage while he stayed far behind me, keeping his distance."
The Dharma King said, "This is different from our Troupe Leader, who always starts by using oxen and horses to wear down the enemy."
Qin Ze said with deep sorrow, "You are all my brothers, my dearest friends and family. I feel very sad every time you see me off."
The clones. "..."
The Magician scoffed, "What are you so sad about? You're always the loudest barking dog. The Self-Destruct Squad goes to blow this up, the Self-Destruct Squad goes to blow that up. Are you blind? You even managed to miss! Self-Destruct Squad leader, you should quit!"
Qin Ze's face darkened. "Don't interrupt, let Brother Devour continue."
Brother Devour continued, "It does intend to use cannon fodder monsters to wear me down, but I'm least afraid of a war of attrition."
The Brother Devour can devour everything and use it for its own purposes.
Surrounded by mountains and seas of beasts, Brother Devour could fight like this for a year.
Brother Devour: "Later, I got really angry and was determined to twist its dog head off."
"But soon I sensed the aura of the Strange God nearby, and to avoid encountering that Strange God, I began to break through outwards."
As a veteran player since the game's launch, Brother Devour's strength is undoubtedly unquestionable.
Although his talent and abilities were unremarkable, and he didn't have any exaggerated special effects.
But once Brother Devour gets close, even the most flashy tricks will become as ordinary as Brother Devour.
The Dharma King asked, "Have you successfully broken through now?"
Brother Devour replied, "I guess so."
Qin Ze: "What do you mean by 'consider'?"
Brother Devour said in a deep voice, "These alien beasts don't just randomly gather together. Each group of alien beasts is a defensive point, commanded by an S-class or SS-class alien beast."
"These defensive points are interconnected, forming a barrier."
"I've already broken through two barriers, and I don't know if there are any more ahead."
"But I'm safe now. The monsters have sent out patrol teams to search for me, but they'd never guess I'm burrowed underground."
Qin Ze's expression was cold and stern.
Is this the Abyss difficulty in version 2.0?
Previously, mythical beasts did not possess such strong organizational capabilities.
Brother Devour continued, "There shouldn't be any civilized world existing within the barrier."
"Along the way, I saw no fewer than ten destroyed Outpost City."
"These strange beasts don't seem to be destroying civilizations and incidentally building barriers; rather, they're deliberately destroying civilizations to create a safe vacuum in order to build those barriers."
Qin Ze murmured, "Establishing a barrier is most likely to protect something."
These strange beasts are not wild animals; they like to mark their territory, which is meaningless to them.
In the minds of the beasts, the entire Abyss is their territory, and there is no need for them to claim it.
From Brother Devour's description, it can be seen that the barriers established by the alien beasts are very sophisticated.
The points form a surface, and each point is guarded by a beast of S rank or higher.
If there is any disturbance at one point, the other points can immediately respond accordingly.
It's only because he's Brother Devour that he's in trouble now; any other Level Nine Martial Artist would probably have been defeated long ago.
Breaking through two barriers in succession is a skill that not everyone possesses.
The Mist Lord said on the Local Area Network, "Maybe it's the Maginot Line, all bark and no bite."
Brother Devour nodded. "I'll walk along this barrier and see where it ends."
"If it really is the Maginot Line, then the problem isn't that serious."
Qin Ze pondered for a moment, "Prioritize your own safety at all times. Don't engage in direct combat with King-level beasts. If you spot a Strange God approaching, run immediately without hesitation."
Qin Ze, the elder brother, was still reassured.
While exchanging information with his clones, Qin Ze had already arrived at the command area of the position.
The communication fairy stopped in front of a half-buried wooden house. "The General is inside."
Qin Ze nodded slightly and walked down the stairs.
Two goblins stood guard on either side of the gate, each holding a long wooden spear.
In Qin Ze's opinion, that spear was no different from a toothpick; he thought it was too short even to use for picking his teeth.
Upon seeing Qin Ze, the guards immediately straightened their backs and raised their heads, displaying the spirit of the Forest Clan.
Qin Ze pushed open the wooden door, and a spacious hall came into view.
"Wow, this is a hidden gem!"
The hall was divided into many small areas, each with wooden control panels of various sizes, where dozens of fairies bustled about.
The hall was extremely noisy, filled with the whistling of the fairies flying at high speed and the chatter of everyone talking at once.
Qin Ze didn't know how the fairies could hear each other and communicate with each other amidst all the noise.
"Welcome, distinguished guest from afar."
Qin Ze looked up and saw a burly tree spirit walking upside down from the ceiling.
"Let me introduce myself. I am the Great General of the Forest Clan. You may call me General Huan."
Several vines extended from behind General Huan, supporting the ground and allowing General Huan to land steadily.
Qin Ze said calmly, "I am a sword cultivator."
General Huan gave Qin Ze a strong impression; he was already one of the best among the Level Nine experts.
Upon hearing Qin Ze's self-introduction, General Huan's gaze involuntarily fell upon Miss Sword Case.
Carrying such a large Sword Case on one's person must mean that one has a very high level of skill in swordsmanship.
"Those fairies outside must have caused our distinguished guest some trouble, right?"
"Actually, they meant no harm; it's just their nature. They're both kind-hearted little guys."
Qin Ze said, "There's nothing to worry about."
Compared to the old-timers on the Local Area Network, the Forest Fairy were as still as virgins.
General Huan smiled slightly, "You've crossed the center line of the position, so you should have seen our deployment. Do you have any further suggestions?"
Qin Ze said, "It's already perfect."
"However, such a position can only defend for a short time, not forever."
General Huan humbly asked for advice, "Please feel free to offer any guidance you may have."
Qin Ze said calmly, "I wouldn't call it guidance. Currently, the defense strategy of Myriad Races against alien beasts is to establish Outpost City in the Abyss."
"Then, using the Outpost City as the center, radiate such positions outwards in all directions as far as possible, creating sufficient depth and buffer zone."
General Huan sighed, "That's exactly what I was thinking too, but time waits for no one."
"We just fended off a beast horde half an hour ago."
"The attacks from the alien beasts are becoming more and more frequent; in the past few days, they've launched an attack almost every few hours."
"Repairing the positions alone is already exhausting; we simply don't have the extra energy to build a fortified city."
The situation for the Forest Clan is now extremely urgent.
Qin Ze asked, "Are there Hunter in your world?"
General Huan looked bewildered. "What is Hunter?"
Like the Sea of Glaze, the World Will is still immature, so they come to the Abyss to work.
However, the Sea of Glaze was a victim of the Abyss update, while the Forest Clan was completely fed with tree fruits, which were practically bug-level.
Qin Ze, with the air of a master, said, "You'll see later."
"By the way, where is the Sage?"
Qin Ze's visit to the Forest Clan was most likely motivated by the Sage; he wanted to see He Fang Sage was.
General Huan said, "I don't know where the Sage is either; he always comes to us on his own initiative."
"The last time we met was just one day ago, when I sent Ye Zi to the Myriad Races Black Market."
"I overheard him say something casually as he left, but I don't know what it meant."
Qin Ze asked, "What did you say?"
General Huan: " The Sage say that war has never changed."
Qin Ze frowned in thought.
Does the unchanging war refer to the War of the Gods?
Or is it an invasion of Myriad Races?
Now Qin Ze is even more certain that the Sage is most likely a remnant of the old order, just like Miss Sword Case.
With a piercing whistle, a fairy flew in in a panic.
"General, something terrible has happened!"
"Those really, really bad monsters are back!"
