As night fell, Captain Aldington took Cassius and the others to join up with another group of Rangers in charge of reconnaissance. When the pen "Fun" Pavilion set out www.biquge.info Colossus Castle, Grant and Ed each brought 10 people, plus Aldington and Casthew, a total of 22 people, and in more than a week, they were killed by fierce beasts, poisonous snakes, and forest fever, and 6 people were killed, and Gagliardi was the 7th and the first Ranger in the crusade team to be killed by the giants.

That night, everyone was immersed in grief, and the more grieved, the more they wanted revenge. Encountering a woodland giant head-on for the first time in a week suggests that this place is getting closer to their territory. But now, with the lack of horses, Aldington, Grant, and Ed were all injured, and the captain ordered a rest. William bandages them and herbs, and Cassiu was glad that Grant hadn't killed William.

Just in case, Aldington chose the campsite next to a creek with drinking water and woods to block the speed of the giants' attacks, and he also arranged for people to be on duty for the night.

Cassiu insisted on staying overnight, and the daytime experience kept him awake. Why didn't you strike sooner?" he said to himself.

There were 4 people on duty with him, and according to the captain, they were all experienced rangers. They each guarded one direction, and Cassius himself regularly patrolled the rangers at each point.

In the misty forest at night, danger lurks in the tranquility, rustling under the fallen leaves on the ground, perhaps stone pythons, lizards, or blood spiders. The Rangers dug ditches on the periphery of the camp and lit several fires to drive away the beasts. Still, Cassius was uneasy.

I don't know how long it took, but at 6 o'clock there was a dull sound, and the rangers guarding that direction screamed, and the horses screamed and kicked in fright. Cassius hurried over, and a dark shadow pounced on him, instinctively picking up his shield, only to be thrown on his back. The shadow bit him on the neck, he shielded the bearded mouth with his shield, the plate armor saved his life, the shadow's claws made a noise at him, but it didn't hurt him. He only felt that there was a heavy object on his body, and he looked like a cat. How could there be such a big, ferocious cat? He silently chanted the spell, and several raised spikes grew from the plate armor on his body, and the big cat let go of Kahew, and the silver eyes glared at it, growling, and its claws rubbing against the ground.

The people who could move in the tent ran out, and William brought torches, and everyone could not help but gasp when they saw it. "Leopard!" William shouted, "the guy!"

Only then did Cassius see the leopard, its grey-golden fur covered in spots, and it blinked and slowly retreated when it saw so many people coming out with torches.

The rangers carried torches and roared loudly, some striking each other with short and long swords, making a loud noise. The leopard retreated to the Ranger lying on the ground, grabbed the Ranger by the neck, turned and ran away, and suddenly, it fell to the ground, looking back at its hind legs in confusion, and Kasiu's long sword turned into a barbed whip that wrapped around its hind legs. It jerked its hind legs, and with great force dragged Kasiu to its side.

The leopard stood up, the stab wound on its left hind leg made it very angry, it pounced on Cassiu, Cassiu rolled over, dodged this pounce, the leopard was angry, roared, turned over and pounced, the original diamond-shaped pure white shield in Kasei's hand turned into a circle, raised a spike, Cassiu resisted the leopard's pounce, and the spike was inserted into the inside of its left front paw. The leopard wailed, its front paws clawed Kaxiu's shoulder, and Cassiu only felt his bones creak, and his body was about to fall apart.

The Rangers chased after him with torches, and Noah, with his crossbow, shot the leopard in the right hind leg. It leaped away, limping, and roared at the Rangers, but slowly backed away. Kasiu got up from the ground and grabbed the sword that glowed in the darkness, only to find a short, thin black shadow standing in front of him, its eyes shining emerald green, grabbing the sword and turning to run.

"Hey!" Cassius shouted. The leopard turned around and bit at Cashew, who jumped up and jumped onto the leopard's back as it landed. The leopard flicked in place, trying to shake off Kasiu, and he turned his shield into a chain and put it around the leopard's neck. The leopard was in a hurry, turned around to bite, but found that he couldn't bite, and desperately shook his neck and body. Cassius only felt his body sway from side to side, his stomach was about to be stirred, and he pressed his foot against the leopard's abdomen, which was soft and warm.

"You're so arrogant!" Cassius gasped and yelled, "Do you have what it takes to turn me upside down?" His arm felt like it was about to be torn, but if he let go, the leopard would throw him off and bite him on the head.

I'm not going to let go!! Cassiu arched his back and pressed against the leopard's back, tightening the chains. Seeing that the rangers were getting closer and closer to it, the leopard simply ran. With every step, the leopard gasped, the injuries on the inside of its front paws and hind legs made it unsteady to run, and the pain was unbearable with each step, and the chains stuck in its throat, making it more and more difficult to breathe.

"Run, you have the ability to run!" Cassius only felt the wind blowing through his ears, and the leopard carried him through the forest, and he was already lost.

The leopard finally couldn't run, and the multiple injuries and the increasingly rapid breathing made it scream and go limp, and Cassiu grabbed the chains, one foot on the ground, and the other foot on the leopard's back. The leopard flailed its neck frantically, it was making its final struggle, and Cassius was flailing around, feeling like his hands were about to be broken.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of wind in his ears, and with years of experience on the battlefield, he intuitively felt that it was the sound of arrows cutting through the air. He rolled over and dodged, jumped off the leopard, and sat down behind a tree.

"Don't shoot arrows! I'm Cassiu!" he shouted, and the Rangers finally found me.

No one answered him, and a long purple strip in the darkness slashed from the side, and when he dodged it, he found that the short, thin black shadow was holding a dark purple object in his hand, which was his long sword.

"Give me back the sword!" Caxiu's words were finished when the sword stabbed diagonally from beneath again, and he rolled over to dodge the stab. He recited the fire spell "Scorch", sparks appeared on the black shadow's body, Kasiu suddenly felt that his shoulders were so hot, and when he turned his head, he saw that there was a fire burning on his left shoulder, and he hit it hard. The long sword stabbed again, and after Kasiu dodged, he ran to the leopard, who was lying on the ground, weak, and he grabbed the chain, which instantly turned into a long sword, catching the opponent's swing.

"Who are you?!" Cassius asked angrily, his bones falling apart, and now there was a strange man with his magic sword to fight him.

Although the black shadow looks short and thin, but the strength is not small, so Cassius feels that he is competing with Sir Richard, as one of the knights of the Imperial Guard, Sir Richard often spars with Cassius in swordsmanship, Jazz's attack is extremely fierce, Cassius in order to take Sir's slash from the front, secretly cheating, and using magic to change the center of gravity of Sir's sword.

The shadow swung his sword down again, and Kaxiu grabbed the blade with his iron gauntlet, and the shadow was very annoyed and pushed him, clutching his stomach in pain, but still clutching the sword. The shadow punched him in the face armor, and he bit his tongue, and another punch sent a star in his eyes. The long sword finally turned into a soft ribbon, and the black shadow was extremely disappointed, and pulled the wire belt, and the wire suddenly wrapped around his body, and he screamed and jumped, like a disappointed thief.

At this time, the shouts of the rangers got closer and closer, and the black shadow used all his strength to hit Cassiu's forehead, and Cassius fainted.

I don't know how long it took, but he woke up, and heard the murmuring of the stream, and William's shouts of surprise, and everyone gathered around, gossiping.

"You know what you did? You killed a leopard! You killed a leopard by yourself!" Anthony looked at Cassius with a look of adoration, grabbing Cassiu's shoulder, Cassiu's face twitched, his shoulder hurt.

"Lighter, he had several bruises. Damn, your face is swollen and red, and it's subsided a little now. William examined Cassiu's eyelids and looked left and right at his face.

"I didn't expect that big cat to be so powerful, so powerful, and faster than a horse. "The next time we meet, I'll just call for a fireball." ”

"You madman!" said Eddard gloomily, "you don't know what kind of animal it is? I heard that you are riding on a leopard, shouting and screaming, like a circus clown." ”

"Alright, Ed, don't taunt him, there are no leopards in the Empire's Thunder Castle, don't blame those who don't know. None of the Rangers managed to kill a leopard alone. He deserves respect. Leopards are big cats, and if you want to call them big cats, you can do it. Captain Aldington patted Cassius on the shoulder, "Your amazing shield and sword are truly an eye-opener. ”

Cassius coughed, and he was poured herbal soup with the attentive Anthony, who pushed the bowl aside and told them about the night of the sword fight with the Dark Shadow.

"No way. Aldington's face suddenly plummeted, "Not afraid of magic, short and strong, your description is very similar to what Sam said about the children of the forest, but they are long since extinct." ”

Cassius was not reconciled, he pulled open his clothes and showed everyone his left shoulder, which also had a scalded blister: "I used 'burn' to make him burn, but my own clothes burned. ”

"Then you must have used magic on yourself. Grant analyzed.

"I'm not stupid. Look at my face, what idiot would make his face look like this?" Cahew patted his face, grinning and sticking out his tongue again, "and biting his own tongue." ”

"Maybe you hit it when you fell off the leopard's back and bit your tongue. Anthony took the soup bowl, "When we found you, you passed out on the ground with the dead leopard lying beside you, and both weapons were in your hands. ”

"It's a dream. Aldington concluded, "I spent a lot of time in the forest, I was nervous, and I was frightened by the leopard. ”

Kasiu shook his head, still dizzy, unable to prove the existence of the Children of the Forest. He fell asleep again. Before going to bed, he swore that if he borrowed ten guts, he would not dare to single out the leopard.

Perhaps the captain was right, and Sam also said that after the rise of the human race, the children of the forest were wiped out.
