Rustling......

The sound grew closer and closer, and finally stopped not far from the Orion.

Seven or eight hunters looked at each other, and they all clung to each other, and the forest was so quiet that even the birds that had been chirping just now were silent. Occasionally, a whistling north wind blows through the forest, making the swaying branches rattle.

As soon as the branches and leaves 'clanged', a young girl in a gray wizard's robe walked out of the branches and leaves, looking at Yan Zhen with some confusion...... Uh, more like a hunter with their hands tied, "Is this the Maranasso Valley, please?"

"Uh...... Yes. ”

The frightened Huck came back to his senses, and the gray robes that symbolized power and mystery were not wizards.

"Wizard, please save our companions. Hucofort fell to his knees in excitement and shouted with his hands raised.

"Help!!"

Seeing that the dryad was getting closer and closer, the captured hunters shouted hoarsely...... Although they knew that their companions were not much braver than themselves, they subconsciously hoped that a miracle would happen.

In the past, due to the lure of sound, many predators would gather in the direction of the sound, ready to bombard the food, but today's hunters are dryads, and not many animals dare to compete for prey in front of dryads, only a dozen scavenging vultures hover in the air, patiently waiting to enjoy the prey that the dryads have abandoned and do not want.

"Help!!It hurts...... Help me...... Help!!"

Ondos, who was used as the first course of food, groaned in pain, the dryad's way of eating is more cruel, it does not bite off the neck of its prey like other beasts, but melts the prey into pieces with the acid secreted from the surface of the rhizome, this process is very cruel, but for the dryad, it is a very enjoyable process...... In order to make the pleasure last longer, it even loosened Ondos's neck, and instead strangled him a few times.

Now Ondos regretted it very much, if he hadn't run with Barrick at that time, and now he was the first to be caught, and he became the prey instead of hunting...... Just as he was remorseful, there was a strange movement from the direction where the other hunters had fled, and there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves.

Merlin didn't expect to come out of the forest, she encountered such a scene, two days ago, after killing Frodo and others, she was unfortunately attacked by a group of soldier ants, fortunately, she already had a means of dealing with it before she set off, after abandoning two horses and a few potions, she bypassed the group of soldier ants and walked out of the forest of rest, but she never thought that she would encounter such a thing.

Although she has no obligation to save the dead, but a dryad...... Let's take a look.

Burst!

Instead of hand-to-hand combat with the Dryad, Merlin threw a fireball at the Dryad's head.

It turns out that no matter how demonic the tree is, it must also obey the law of burning when it encounters fire, and the lush branches and leaves crackled and burned in an instant, and the dryad let out a cry of pain: "Damn human, you dare to hurt the great Lord Kediman!"

The hunters it had caught were thrown away, and a dozen roots whistled towards Merlin.

"You're ugly enough, and you can't look at it even after burning this. Merlin urged her horse to flee and lured the dryad into chasing her from behind.

Bang bang bang......

The dryad opened his thigh and chased after him, this guy's speed is not good, but it can't stand its big steps, one step can withstand the average person walking a dozen steps, it looks like a large torch running on its own, it looks extremely weird.

Merlin turned her head to see that she was already some distance away from the hunters, and as soon as she raised her hand, a power grid and a spider web flew out at about the same time.

Snort!sneer......

Arcs of electricity bounced and flickered on the dryad's body, and those rhizomes were all covered by cobwebs, entangled together, and the more they struggled, the denser the bonding became, and after a period of shaking, the dryad fell to the ground with a puff, smashing the ground into a large hole, and then two fireballs in a row smashed into the dryad.

Boom! Boom!

Two more flames rose into the air, and the flames quickly spread throughout the Dryad's body, and the Dryad let out a terrible cry, startling away even the scavenging vultures that were hovering in the sky.

After more than a dozen breaths, the fire gradually extinguished, and only fragments of charcoal remained on the ground.

"Oops, why did you forget to leave a specimen behind?" Merlin patted her head with some hindsight.

However, the activated creature of the dryad is not special, and the loss is also lost, and Merlin doesn't care too much.

"Thank you, sir, for saving ...... life"

"Thank you, sir......"

More than a dozen rescued hunters came to Merlin's thanks with the support of their companions, Merlin nodded slightly, and raised her hand to stop the 'noise': "Listen, I'm going to the city of Karinik, if any of you know the way there, I can hire him as a guide, two gold coins." ”

"I know the way to the city of Kalinique, my lord, and allow me to show you the way. ”

As soon as Merlin's words fell, one of the hunters raised his arm.

"Very well, what's your name?" asked Merlin.

"Ondos, my lord, my name is Ondos. Ondos said excitedly.

Two gold coins are equivalent to half a year's harvest for hunters, and this time Ondos felt that he had grabbed it right.

"Then let's go, and have someone go back and tell you about your house. Merlin didn't want to waste time and was ready to hit the road directly.

"Yes, sir. Ondos ran to bring the letter, and the other hunters were envious.

……

Three days later.

"My lord, this is the city of Kalinik, and if you have no other orders, the villain will go back. Ondos stood respectfully in front of Merlin's horse.

"Well, go ahead, this horse will be given to you. "Merlin is also generous, anyway, she still has four horses, enough to use.

"Thank you, sir!" Ondos didn't expect such a huge surprise, and after being stunned for a moment, he thanked him again and again, and then left.

Seeing the hunter guide leave, Merlin withdrew her gaze.

A caravan happened to pass by, the sound of carriages, the rolling of wheels, and the braggadocio of caravan members. Merlin was standing on the side of the road, and suddenly she had an unusually real feeling. Everything around seems so clear and detailed. There were a dozen pale yellow daisies scattered underfoot, and some small insects burrowed in the grass.

Merlin looked up and looked into the distance.

There is no end to the winding path ahead, surrounded by large green wheat fields and farmsteads. The warm breeze blew, the surface of the skin seemed to be rubbed by a soft gauze towel, a little itchy, a slightly drunk sea breeze blew, bringing a strong smell of the sea, Merlin took a deep breath, urging the horse to walk towards the city ahead.
