Chapter Ninety-Eight: Encounter;

In the evening, Ayton and his party arrived at the foot of the Asahi mountain range.

Different from the corpse-ridden Pingxi Mountains, because of the proximity to the Flower Language Forest, this forest has a little more life, even at night, the stars shine in the night, and the forest is filled with all kinds of birdsong.

"Big brother, they're going to be fine," Illurie's turquoise eyes glinted in the moonlight, and she looked at Ayton worriedly.

"Both of them are at the fifth-order level, so they should be fine. At this time, Ayton couldn't help but be a little worried in his heart, they were almost tired today, during which he returned to inspect once, but found no trace of the two of them, and found the billowing dust and smoke of the knightly army, and then everyone avoided this group of cavalry without danger under the special ability of Iruli's 'hiding', and the two passed by.

"Let's rest first" In a state of hiding, in order to avoid being discovered, they sat down and released their horses, and everyone ran to the foot of the Asahi Mountain Range on both feet, quite a bit of a feeling of running out of the forest of despair.

At this point, Ilully and Tribith are fine. Lan Coco's physical strength was obviously a little unbearable.

"Then I'll go to the sentry first" Ariel's physical strength was the best among all the women present, and she took the initiative to take on the task of going to the guard.

"Well, be careful on the road," Ayton admonished, looking at Lan Coco, who was sitting on the spot kneading her sore calves, the originally slim blue mage robe, stained with a layer of dust, and the sky blue stockings seemed to have been cut by the thorns on the road, and she didn't care about the image of the princess at all.

It was the first time she had walked such a long way, and she did not complain despite the hardships and tiredness, and the experience gave her a deeply unforgettable feeling, a sense of free adventure, which was much more comfortable than staying in a dull palace all day.

"Coco, stretch more, otherwise your leg may hurt even more tomorrow" Seeing that Lan Coco was just rubbing on his calf, Ayton kindly reminded.

"Stretch?" Lan Coco looked up at Ayton suspiciously.

Ayton didn't notice the details on his face and continued: "Stretching after a long workout can better relieve tension and contraction of muscles."

"What is stretching, is it magical?" Tribiss looked at Ayton in confusion, and the latter realized that they didn't know what stretching was. I used to do some stretching movements with Ariel after training, so my body toughness and coordination are very good.

"You look at my movements carefully" Ayton demonstrated a few basic stretching movements on the spot, and explained their functions one by one.

After finishing one set, the three girls froze in place, looking at each other, not knowing what they were thinking.

"What's wrong? is the movement weird?" Ayton looked at them in amazement, he and Ariel had repeated the same movements almost every day in the Dark Cave.

"It's nothing" Illuria shook her head first, and did what Ayton had just done, sitting on the ground with her legs straight and her arms stretched as far forward as she could.

Seeing that Her Royal Highness the princess had already started, Cuibisi also followed her example.

Lan Keke hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "Is your physical strength so good because of this often?"

She suddenly thought of the scene when Ariel was urging her to hurry up in the Pingxi Mountains before, she was also about the same age, why her physical strength was obviously so much better than others, was it just a difference in occupation.

Lan Coco had always heard that magicians had worse physical strength than warriors, but their status was much better than that of warriors, but Ayton and the others could also cast magic, and they were also magicians, but their melee combat abilities were much stronger than regular knights, which made her always take them as role models and whip herself to learn from them.

"Uh... Let's just say that, anyway, after I train with Ariel, I'll do more stretching movements" Ayton didn't know at this time that Lan Coco regarded them as an example of whipping himself for his efforts.

"I see" Lan Keke nodded, sitting on the ground and stretching, as if a stronger flame was burning in her eyes, she had a heart that wanted to control her own destiny.

Ayton looked at the three girls quietly, probably because they were still young, and the three of them were very good in physical toughness, and every movement was easy to do, and there was no trace of fat in the slender body.

He had seen the same action countless times on Ariel, and now he was a little flurging in his heart when he watched the other three girls with different styles doing it in front of him.

On the other side, a group of people walked silently through the dense forest, the glimmer of more than a hundred torches swaying in the night.

"What about the people, why haven't you found them yet" Simmel stared angrily at the scout in front of him, if he couldn't find those people tonight, the army of the forest elves might step out of the Forest of Flowers tomorrow.

"Young master, the subordinates have found their lost horses, they must not have run far" The scout bowed his head nervously, trembling all over.

"Keep sending out scouts, disperse, and find them before the sun rises!" Simmel said fiercely.

"Also, send a messenger to a nearby town and ask for help."

"Yes, young master," the scout commanded, turning to leave.

"Young master, what if we don't find them," said Madifen and came to Simael's side. In the vast mountains and forests of this night, it is difficult to hold out hope that they can find a few people with their two hundred people.

"If you can't find it, you have to find it for me, especially the little princess of Bright Blue" Simmel's face was gloomy, they had no way out at all, the forest elf's words only hoped that the forest elf who was captured had no background, and the elf queen would not choose to go to war for the sake of an elf civilian, but with the elf to protect the arrogant character.... Who knows.

Madifen sighed, and was about to turn away, when he suddenly felt a strong gust of wind shoot towards the young master of Simiel.

"Be careful!"

As soon as Madifen said this, he saw a black shadow shoot down Simmel's throat under the cover of night.

If you shoot, you will die!

And in such a short period of time, it was simply too late for Simel to react.

His eyes widened angrily, and Ma Difen only heard a clanging sound, and a burst of blue light suddenly flashed in the chest of the young master Simael, forming a blue barrier around his body, just blocking this shadow arrow magic.

Simmel froze in place, his pupils constricting sharply, the threat of death so close to him for the first time.

"There are assassins!" Ma Difen was the first to react, shouted loudly, and rushed directly to the direction where the shadow arrow was fired, their position was in the middle of the two hundred cavalry, and the position where the magic shot was less than a hundred meters away, the young master almost died in front of him just now, and no one found out, which shows how superb the assassin's stealth assassination ability is.

"You're lucky" Seeing that the blow missed, Ariel quickly jumped off the tree and sneaked away.

Just now she found that the cavalry team of these two people, and when she was about to leave to inform her brother, she suddenly heard the word young master said by the scout, so Ariel suddenly had a whim, the assassin skills that she had trained for a long time in the dark cave, she had not really assassinated a person, and they were all frontal battles.

If this young master is killed now, will my brother praise me?

So she lurked in a tree, waiting for an opportunity, but unfortunately Simmel actually had an extremely precious automatic defense equipment on her body, which can only be triggered once, and it will permanently fail after one time, and the strength of the barrier is not too strong, but it is more than enough to resist Ariel's second-order magic 'shadow arrow'.

Suddenly, Ariel heard a bang in the sky behind her, and saw that the original silent night immediately crossed a layer of light, tearing away the cover of the original night, and Ariel's figure was completely exposed to the eyes of the knights.

After the second-order magic 'illumination technique' Simmel finished casting, he felt that the placket behind him had been sweated to death, but this time he did not rush to the front, and was protected by two personal guards of the early stage of the fourth order. The other two had already followed Madifen after him.

"Not good" Ariel secretly said that it was not good, and sped up and hurried in the direction of Ayton.

"Illumination, Sister Ariel?" Iluri stood up, nervously staring at the light in the sky, a spell that would last for two or three minutes, and with the place where it was fired, it would be enough for them to find themselves.

"It's okay, a group of ordinary cavalry can't keep her" As soon as Ayton finished speaking, Ariel jumped out of the shadows, stuck out her little tongue and said, "Brother, I'm sorry, I messed up"

"It's okay, they can't catch up with us" Ayton didn't bother to blame her: "It's time for us to go"

At this time, the figures of the cavalry following were clearly visible, and the sound reached everyone's ears.

"They're there, catch that blue-clad magician"

"Don't let them run away anymore, go and inform the other brothers!"

Ayton and his party quickly packed up their equipment and set out on the road to escape again.

Young Master Ford was surrounded by many knights, and he did not dare to act rashly for a while.

"Young Master, let's catch up," a fourth-order guard whispered in reassurance, he knew that the young master had been a little frightened just now.

Simael's face was still pale, he muttered for a while, and said in a low voice: "We chase, they don't have horses, we must not let them run away again"

What had just happened had once again strengthened their determination to kill them, as they were still on the edge of the Asahi Mountains, and the road was not very rough, and the horses were still a little faster than they could have run on two feet.

"Trebess, has your magic recovered?"

"Half recovered, but I can't keep them all"

"Brother, why don't I stay and assassinate that young master again, this time it will be successful" Ariel was very unwilling to what happened just now, and wanted to try again.

"No, it's too risky" Ayton decisively rejected her, the other party must be vigilant, he is reluctant to take Ariel to take risks again.

Ariel pursed her mouth dissatisfiedly: "But it's not a way to go on like this." As she spoke, her gaze fell on Lan Coco, who was obviously a little out of breath, and the latter's pretty face turned red instantly, and the short time just now was not enough for her to recover.

Ayton pondered for a while, most of the other party still had horses, if they continued to consume like this, he and Ariel would be nothing, and the other three girls would definitely be tired and lay down, and then they would not even have the strength to cast magic, how could this be beaten: "Ariel, you take them first, I'll stay and stop them"

"What? no, absolutely not," Ariel shook her head like a rattle, firmly disagreeing.

Ayton immediately smacked her head hard: "What can't you do, listen to me, you take them first, with my full strength, can this group of human cavalry keep me?"

"But..."

"It's nothing, do as I say, now is not the time to hesitate" Ayton stopped, hugged Ariel's delicate body and kissed her on the forehead, and whispered, "Wait for me to come back"

Ariel struggled fiercely in her heart, and finally nodded: "Don't leave me behind, this is our agreement, and it is also one of the two conditions you once owed me." ”

Ayton smiled slightly: "Don't worry, remember what I promised you"

After leaving the dark cave, he owed Ariel a total of two conditions, but he didn't expect her to use this precious opportunity for this.

"Big brother, I don't want you to get lost too" Illuria looked at Ayton dimly, her voice trembling unconsciously.

"Ayton, or ......" Lan Keke wanted to say something, but thinking of his strength, most of them were a burden, he couldn't help but stop his mouth, and his expression was a little gloomy.

"You go first, I'll catch up"

"Your Highness Princess, let's go quickly, we forest elves, we will not forget their kindness," Tribiss also advised.

They finally turned and left in tears, as another light shot into the night sky, and day fell on them again.

Ayton hid his body in the shadow behind the tree, and watched them leave with a smile, his eyes gradually dyed a layer of blood red, and his originally youthful white skin gradually turned violet suitable for hiding in the dark. Reverting to the Dark Elf state, Ayton's strength will be unlimited.

The hunt is about to begin!
