"Renault! You really have maxed out your taunt buff!" Roland jumped and dodged in the woods, dodging the spikes that kept popping up under his feet.
"It's unfair! My prince! Who knew there was a giant earth bear in that cave?" Renault followed Roland with a bitter face.
"Roar!" An angry roar came from behind them, and Roland and the other man couldn't help but speed up.
"Even an idiot knows that elves can't live in caves!" Roland covered his face.
"It seems like we can attract more attention from the orcs like this than riding horses!" Roland glanced at the angry Earth Bear behind him.
As the leader among high-level magical beasts, the Earth Bear has a body as big as a hill and powerful earth magic ability. Its huge body means it has defense comparable to that of a dragon, and its powerful earth magic allows it to easily destroy an army. The idiot Renault actually drilled into the bear's nest and successfully attracted the attention of the hibernating male bear.
"This is the first time I feel this forest is so dangerous!" Roland said unhappily, turning his head and shooting out a sword beam composed of fighting spirit.
"Roar!" As a few strands of bear hair fell, the Earth Bear became more and more angry.
"Damn it! Your Highness, why are you attacking it?" Renault jumped up to avoid a spike that emerged from under his feet and looked at Roland with horror.
"Grass (a kind of plant)!" Roland was immediately shocked by the thick bear skin.
"You said we should kill it and skin it to make leather armor. Wouldn't that provide excellent defense? And those thick bear paws, coated with honey and baked..." Roland felt like tears were about to flow from his mouth.
"Damn it! Your Highness, we're almost gone, and you still have time to think about bear paws?" Renault was completely shocked by Roland's arrogant words. It was obvious that the people of Lagrande would not understand the obsession of the people of the Foodie Empire. After all, in his previous life, Roland could only look at pictures of bear paws, and bears were also one of the beasts that would spend the rest of their lives in prison.
"Um... how long have we been chasing this? Aren't you tired, buddy?" Roland panted and glanced at the Earth Bear that was chasing him relentlessly.
"If only Caslo were here!" Roland missed his most loyal lackey terribly. Not only was he obedient, but he was also handsome and capable, and most importantly, he didn't cause any trouble!
"Outrageous... In this dense forest, even if Kaslo came riding a dragon, he would be beaten!" Renault sighed.
"So this dog-skin plaster can't be taken off?" Roland said helplessly.
"Unless there is a river..." Renault sighed.
"You might as well not say anything!" Roland complained, but his pace did not slow down at all.
So at this moment, there are two fewer paladins in the world, and two more holy rangers... Their agile posture, quick movements, and excellent awareness can allow real rangers to do a lot of magic with their feet.
"Huh? It seems to be slowing down!" Renault watched as the Earth Bear's speed slowly slowed down, from running to walking briskly, and finally stopped suddenly after crossing a big tree. It raised its head and stretched its neck to sniff around as if it was very afraid of something here. After standing there for a moment, it immediately turned around and left.
"Gone?" Roland asked in surprise.
"We seem to be in big trouble again..." Renault sighed.
"Why should we be in trouble if it's gone?" Roland was puzzled.
"Ahem, generally speaking, there are only two situations in which a predator gives up on food in its mouth. The first is that it can't run anymore. Obviously, the Earth Bear just now still has plenty of physical strength. The second is that its prey has entered the territory of a more advanced predator..." Renault swallowed and didn't say anything else.
"Please stop talking..." Roland was already impressed by Renault's words.
"Be careful! We are not far from our destination!" Roland warned, telling him not to cause any more trouble. His heart was about to give up. Not everyone has Renault's abnormal physique. Roland, who is also a paladin, said that he felt a little weak, after all, he had just played a marathon with a high-level monster.
"Don't worry, Your Highness! You must be careful and don't get hurt!" Renault nodded.
"The one I'm most worried about is you!" Roland covered his face.
…
"The swaying star grass, the resurrected morning glory. The shining hexagram, the low-pitched guardian..." Roland murmured softly.
"Your Highness?" Renault asked puzzledly.
"It seems we need to find the Sky Star Grass first..." Roland ignored Renault and looked around for the Sky Star Grass.
"Sky Star Grass? Isn't that a plant that grows in summer? How can it be found in winter?" Renault asked puzzledly.
"This is the secret code to go to Singeri. Singeri is isolated from the world and surrounded by a barrier. We need to find a way to get there." Roland glanced at Renault.
"And the Sky Star Grass will show us the way!" Roland looked at the deep forest.
"Um...Okay, Your Highness." Renault scratched his head. Although he didn't understand why the star grass would grow in winter, since Roland had said so, he had to follow and look for it.
"Don't be in a hurry now. The Sky Star Grass can only be seen in the dark!" Roland said softly.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, Renault and Roland quickly filled their stomachs with dry black bread and water, then they found a thick tree, quickly climbed up the dense canopy, and lay on the broad branches to take a nap.
As the sun sets, the moon climbs up to the treetops, and the starry sky shines in the dark forest at night, making it seem particularly quiet.
"Let's go, Your Highness. It's late." Renault opened his eyes and gently shook Roland.
"Hmm? It's getting dark?" Roland rubbed his eyes.
"Let's get to work!" After stretching, Roland jumped down from the tree.
…
After a long time, just when Roland thought that there were no more star elves in this world and was about to give up, Renault suddenly quietly pointed to a tree not far to the right.
There, near the dark tree roots, a few weak stalks of sky-star grass were swaying hard in the direction of the starlight. The starlight in the sky seemed to be attracted by them, pouring down on them gently like a silk thread.
"It really exists!" Roland was stunned. If the Tianxing grass that grows out of season actually exists, then the Mingchen flower that only grows in autumn should also be found.
Roland gently picked up the star grass and looked at it carefully. Because the star grass would be attracted by the light of the stars, then Singeri's star barrier would definitely attract the star grass. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the star grass to exist in winter, which is out of season.
"Their grass cores face south!" Roland finally discovered the code contained in these star grasses.
"Go! This way!" Roland waved at Renault, signaling him to follow.
Along the way, Roland saw several more clumps of star grass. Sure enough, the cores of these star grasses all pointed to the south.
"It seems that we have to wait until dawn to find the Mingchen flowers to determine the approximate location of the entrance to the Singeri Kingdom." Roland clapped his hands. The Tianxing grasses all over the ground have completed their mission, and the Mingchen flowers are still needed to guide the rest of the way.
