The journey from Port Mousse to the town of Kalange is more than 300 miles, with a flat southern plain flanked by gravel roads flanked by endless rice paddies.

At the end of March in the south, the weather is already warm, the rice fields are freshly planted seedlings, and the sun is setting, and there are still farmers planting rice in the afterglow, and Castile can be called the granary of the empire, not only thanks to the good climate, but also to the industrious farmers.

Uncle Bearded drove in silence, and the reason why he didn't even dare to smoke was Alixia's cold face and the big axe that was barely stuffed into the carriage. In fact, Fabian's bow and arrows were also in the car, which he only remembered to bring with him when he left, and planned to return to the country mansion to show his mother the recently improved archery.

Fabian began to practice the bow and arrow under the persuasion of Jacques (who was actually Fat Orange), and as Fat Orange expected, he practiced the Enhanced Source Energy Technique with half the effort, and not only quickly learned the Eagle Eye Technique, but also mastered the Swiftness Technique, the Spirit Fox Charm, and the Instantaneous Step. Fabian still did not give up on animal affinity, and finally there was a small success, and now Louis I could send letters to familiar places, and several friends were the first to enjoy the services of Fabian Post Office. Ambitious logistics tycoons have begun training Louis II and Louis III with the intention of expanding their business empires.

However, Fat Orange made a mistake in his judgment of Emma, who is still running wild on the path of inflicting negative statuses, and has now mastered seven or eight primary-level dark source energy skills that inflict negative statuses. Dean Adele Hardy also custom-made a weapon for her.

Don't compare with the tough Alixia, only compare with two peers, Jacques, who points all his skills in hand-to-hand combat, and is now a drag oil bottle in the team.

The sun finally set, the sky was getting dark, and the steam car was driving alone on the road.

Feeling that the speed of the car had slowed down, Jacques couldn't help but ask Uncle Bearded: "Uncle driver, why did you slow down, what time can you arrive at about this time?"

Uncle Huhu replied: "The road behind is not fast after dark, and it is expected to arrive at 11 o'clock." It is dark and you can't see the road clearly, and it is easy to have an accident if you drive fast. ”

The four people in the car looked at each other, and sure enough, Fabian's experience of being able to reach it in more than four hours was unreliable, and he didn't consider the factor of darkness.

As soon as he heard that there were still two hours to get to the town of Kalange, Fabian endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it, and he couldn't care about the two girls around him, and shouted loudly: "Uncle driver, stop the kick!

So the steam cart stopped on the side of the road, and Fat Orange, Jacques, Fabian, and the bearded driver stood in a row, while the two girls went around behind the bushes on the other side.

After the convenience of the fat orange jumped on Jacques's shoulder, Jacques was stunned for a moment, then pointed to a shadow in the distance and asked the bearded driver: "Uncle, do you know what kind of place it is? How does it feel like there is a forest?"

Uncle Bearded took a closer look at it in the faint moonlight and said, "There, there is a mangrove forest by the sea, where the Rhonal River flows into the sea, and the mangrove forest formed by the estuary where fresh water and saltwater meet, and the town of Kalange is on the side of the Rhonal River, so we will work harder to get there." ”

Hearing about the mangrove forest, Jacques and Fabi were shocked, Fabian had already guessed what Jacques was going to ask, and hurriedly said: "The road is indeed not far from the coast, and there will be a section closer to the mangrove forest. I didn't ask the students who came back about the details of the battle, and I couldn't figure out if all the alien beasts had been wiped out, so I thought we might as well set off as soon as possible. ”

The two hurriedly called out to the two girls, and quickly got in the car and set off, Jacques in the car told everyone about his worries, and the bearded driver was so frightened that he quickly accelerated forward, Alyssa looked very excited, Emma leaned on Alysia's shoulder with a worried face, and the two boys each looked at the window next to them, hoping to see through the dim night.

After driving for more than half an hour, Fat Orange's voice sounded in Jacques's heart: "Here I feel, they have been following us, and the breath is getting closer and closer." ”

Jacques asked, "What kind of beast is it, and how long will it take to catch up with us?"

Fat Orange muttered: "I can't tell it, it's not a mangrove native beast from the speed of the speed, it's weird." The exotic animals native to the mangrove forest that can come ashore and live in groups are crocodiles and apes. Apes don't go far from mangroves, and crocodiles don't go ashore. Judging by their running speed, the emperor suspects that they are canine, and in the worse case, wolves. They were running very fast, and at this rate, they could catch up in twenty minutes, and now the emperor could feel the four, and there were probably more in the distance. ”

Jacques turned his head and said to his friends solemnly: "Bad news, there are indeed strange beasts chasing us, probably the same group that attacked Mentor Lily. ”

Fabian nervously asked, "Did you see them?"

Jacques shook his head, "Not yet, it's too late to see them, I can feel them, running fast, living in groups, maybe canines or wolves." Fabian, before they catch up, release Louis I and inform your family. They may be our only hope. Sorry for dragging everyone down, but hopefully we can get rid of them. ”

Fabian immediately took out a pen and paper, wrote a letter, tied it to Louis I's feet, whispered to Louis I, opened the window, and released the macaw.

Alyssa flipped out her fist belt, tied it to her hand unhurriedly, and tightened the fist belt while biting the tail end with her teeth, and said vaguely: "I've been waiting for a long time to fight with the beast, and I should thank you for giving me this opportunity." ”

Taking the opportunity to release Louis I, Fabian poked his head out and looked back, and when he retracted, his beloved little round hat was blown away without realizing it, and he said in frustration: "I have opened my eagle eye, and I see them, with slender limbs and slender bodies, five of them! ”

Hearing that there was a strange beast behind him, the bearded driver suddenly increased the speed of the car to the maximum, and the steam car was bumpy and undulating on the road, feeling that it was about to rush off the road and turn over at any time.

Emma climbed between Jacques and Fabian, reached into the cab, pressed on the driver's shoulder, and muttered, "Don't worry, you're fine, drive with peace of mind, don't be nervous......"

Jacques was surprised and said, "Emma, have you learned to 'calm down'?"

Emma nodded shyly.

In the cab, the bearded driver had calmed down, muttering to himself: "I'm a driver who doesn't have feelings, I don't have feelings ......"

It's a pity that after the driver "didn't have feelings", the speed of the car also decreased, and it was even slower than before, so Jacques had to turn his head and keep urging the bearded driver to accelerate.

This stretch of the road was right between the two small towns, with no residential areas or farmland, and only one of them, a steam cart, with four lights, running alone on the gravel road.

As time passed, Fat Orange kept reporting that the distance between the beasts and the steam car was less than 500 meters!

In the distance behind him, a long wolf howl sounded, and a carload of people fell into an ice cave.

Sure enough, it's a wolf!
