On the outskirts of Tianshui Town, we have searched every piece of land near Longji mountain. Are you sure the cave is near here Hahn sat on a raised stone and complained to Jack.

    "I don''t know exactly where that entrance is, but it should be here." "Monkey" said dejectedly. The party has spent half a day looking for the entrance to the cave, but so far nothing has been found.

    "Maybe you remember wrong. Maybe the entrance to the cave is not here." Said the landlady. She also gave up searching. Mona, the woman warrior, did not speak, but she nodded her approval as Elsa spoke.

    "But this is what I remember hearing..." Jack took his head in his arms.

    "Maybe your father just blew a cow, and he didn''t know where the cave entrance was." Said Hahn.

    Jack had yet to refute, but the woman soldier spoke first.

    "Well, if you can''t find it, you can''t find it. Although it took some time, it''s still too late to go to Xigu city." The woman soldier said ready to get up, but at this time, has not spoken cheese suddenly said.

    "Found the entrance to the cave." The mage stood up and walked in one direction. After all, from the beginning of the cave search, cheese has been sitting in the same place without participating in the search. Elsa they only become mages because of their injuries, and their physical strength is limited. Who would have thought that he was the only one who found anything among the five.

    "Didn''t he sit here all the time?" Jack whispered to Hahn.

    "Yes, I don''t think he has moved a step." "Wild boar" also doubts.

    Mona and the landlady didn''t talk, just followed the cheese. Mona had been a bit reticent, and many times the soldier preferred execution to discussion. And the landlady had seen all kinds of magic tricks of cheese when she was in the small town. She had a kind of inexplicable confidence in the ability of cheese.

    Soon, the party came to a cliff in front of a small stream from the bottom of the cliff, along the terrain into the larger water in the distance. Apart from that, the surrounding environment seems to be no different from that in the vicinity. Just as Hahn was about to exit and question the mage''s entrance, there was a sound in the grass beside him.

    "Who are you?" The three frost guards quickly drew out their weapons, sandwiched cheese and Elsa in the middle, three men facing three directions. And with the "wild boar" that drink, the grass in the movement quickly disappeared.

    "Put down the weapon. You scared it." Said cheese, frowning, reaching down on Mona''s broad blade sword. He stepped out of the protective ring of the three soldiers and approached the grass where the sound had just been made.

    "Wait..." Hahn and Jack still want to stop cheese, but Elsa and Mona press down, because from their point of view, vaguely see what is in the grass.

    The thing saw cheese leave the crowd, and Mona, after they put away their weapons, seemed to be emboldened. After waiting for a while, they found that they did not have hostility, and finally walked out of the grass.

    What is this? Elsa and other four people couldn''t believe their eyes. They saw a creature like a human child coming out of the grass. It has a turquoise skin and a dress made of leaves. It is about the waist of an ordinary adult. Its facial features are similar to that of a human child, except that it has a large, funny nose and a head of green hair on its head. It can be seen that the hair is washed and decorated with a wild flower with dew on it.

    The creature carefully leaves the grass, like a cub out of the cave for the first time. It looks at the landlady with its Taupe eyes, as if to make sure they are threatening. Elsa noticed that there was no whiteness in the creature''s eyes, and the whole eye was like a grayish brown pebble.

    "Don''t worry, they won''t hurt you. (unknown) "cheese carefully walks up to the creature and spits out a language that he has never heard before. At the same time, use your hands behind your back to signal others to be quiet.

    After shaking his head and observing for a while, the creature seemed to be finally wary. It chirped at the cheese for a while and was dancing about something. The landlady guessed that it should be the same language as cheese. In the creature''s call, cheese would occasionally interrupt, asking for details in the previous language, and then the little guy would chirp after thinking for a while.

    In this way, under the observation of the remaining four people, cheese chatted with the creature for a short time. Judging from the mage''s expression, he should have got the information he wanted from the other party. So before he finished the communication, he took out a bag from his cloak, poured out some fruits that Elsa had never seen before, and handed them to the creature. The creature let out a joyful cry and quickly pushed the fruit from the cheese into its mouth. The mage laughed and gave the whole bag to the other party. Small cheers came from the grass around them. Elsa was surprised to find that there were so many small creatures hiding in the grass. The little creature who came out to talk with cheese was also very happy when he got the bag. He let out a piercing scream. The landlady guessed that he was calling for his companion, because soon those little creatures in the grass jumped out of the grass and went to the bag to ask for the fruit. The little creatures talking to cheese seem to be the leader of the group of creatures. They distribute the fruits one by one. They look very serious. However, due to its image, the serious appearance makes people feel unable to help laughing."These are the earth spirits. They usually live in forests and valleys. For them, the caves nearby are as familiar as their own backyard Cheese went back to the crowd and said.

    "You mean, they know where the entrance to the cave is?" Mona asked.

    "According to them, the residents of the town did move into the cave one after another in the previous month, and they said that because of the constant attack of huge rats, the residents of the town blew up the entrance nearby." The mage nodded and said.

    "How do we get in? I''m afraid those small town residents are not planning to come out in a short time. They have emptied the whole town''s grain reserves, which will at least be enough for them to spend until spring. " Hahn asked.

    "Don''t worry, our new friends say they know some entrances that humans don''t know, and as their friends, they are happy to take us to our own species." Said the mage with a smile.

    Soon, the land elves ate all the gifts given by their friends, and then led by the leader, the one who talked with cheese, a whole group of land spirits swarmed around cheese and others to advance toward the secret path they said.

    "It''s hard to imagine that I''ve never seen such a creature before." Elsa looked at the earth spirits around her and whispered.

    "It''s just a group of timid but lively little guys. They actually look at people who come into their living areas. Just because of the fear of strangers, so only dare to watch from afar Said the master.

    "And how do you know about them? Is this one of your mage classes The landlady asked curiously.

    "That''s not true. Although some mages like to raise land elites and do some simple work, they seldom communicate with them. They can understand human language, but they can''t pronounce because of their physiological structure. As for how I know them so well, it''s a long story. I''ll talk about it when I have time The cheese replied.

    Under the mage''s explanation, the rest of the team soon realized that these earthlings were very kind creatures. They were simply happy and carefree. Because of their affinity for plants and land, the hungry rat people could hardly find them. So even under the plague, these land spirits still live happily. By such a group of pistachio cluster forward, the members of the team tense nerves are temporarily relieved. Their faces were more or less a long lost smile.
