Located in the northern part of Yorkshire, Battleland, the Magical Forest is the largest Monster Forest on the continent, the most dangerous place of death, but also a paradise for adventurers.

An adventurous team walked cautiously in the forest,

The five-member adventuring team was led by a calm middle-aged man in his forties, tall and burly, with a large sword in his hand, walking in front of everyone.

Behind him were four young men, one of whom was a young man with a delicate face, walking behind the middle-aged man on his left side, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, and the arrow did not leave the bow, his eyes moving back and forth between the bushes around him, cautiously and carefully to prevent accidents. On the other side was a handsome young man who was also on guard with a long sword, and his appearance was somewhat similar to the young man who walked at the end with a sword in his hand and a knife in the other, and he should be a pair of brothers.

In the middle of the diamond-shaped procession of four people was a somewhat thin young man in a robe with a wooden wand in his hand.

At this time, the young man with the magic wand was talking to the middle-aged man in the lead: "Uncle Catter, we have been on the edge for two days, and we still found the magic sunflower, do you want to go a little deeper?" ”

Hearing his question, Carter shook his head: "This is beyond the route we set before, and if we go any deeper, I'm afraid it will be dangerous." ”

"What are you afraid of, haven't we also encountered a lot of demonic beasts along the way, haven't they all been solved by everyone?" The boy raised his wand in disbelief.

Carter didn't get angry when he heard this, but smiled tolerantly, his eyes were still on the road ahead, and he just used the corner of his eye to signal the swordsman next to him to explain, "Roger, you say." ”

Roger said knowingly: "The most we have encountered before is a second-order demonic beast, and the five of us Uncle Rikat is a third-order heavy swordsman, my brother and I and Nanth are all second-order, plus Arthur, you are a trainee magician, of course so many people can solve them." ”

Roger's elder brother Benny said: "But if you go in again, you will be in the territory of the third-order demonic beasts, and with our strength alone, one of us will capsize if we are not careful." ”

The archer's Nance also nodded and added, "I remember that from here there is the territory of the Wind Wolf, so let's be careful." ”

Although the wind wolves are only third-order demonic beasts, they are social creatures, and they can easily kill fifth- and sixth-order intermediate professionals with hundreds of skills, and if they encounter them, their team will definitely not be able to escape.

Arthur blushed and stopped talking, compared to the other people who were veterans with some experience in the Magic Forest a few times, he was just a rookie who came for the first time, and he was actually just a magic apprentice who could throw a few fireballs, and he had no combat power at all. This time, he was able to follow and rely on Carter to be his uncle, so he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, lest the uncle refuse to take him next time.

After walking for a while, but still without gain, Arthur couldn't help but speak again: "Demon Sunflower Likes the Sun, why don't we go to the open river and have a look?" ”

"Although the magic sunflower likes the sun, it doesn't like water, not to mention that the river is a gathering place for demonic beasts, and even if there is, it has been eaten up."

"What then? There's not much time left. ”

Although the magic sunflower is only a low-level magic plant, its flower is a neutralizing agent that will be used in many potion recipes and alchemy recipes, and its rhizome also has a detoxification effect, so many magical beasts will eat it, and this plant has become very rare, so the price is also rising.

This time, they took on the task of finding the magic sunflower in the mercenary union, and the commission given by the employer was very considerable, and correspondingly, if the task could not be completed, the union would deduct their collateral and squad points, which was not what they wanted to see.

Carter pondered for a moment, but there was no way, "If you really can't find it, you can only forget it, anyway, what you find along the way can more or less make up for the loss of the failed mission." ”

There was no objection to his decision, and although it was a pity that the mission failed, the most important thing was to ensure safety.

"Let's go inside, shall we? I remember a little further ahead there was a clearing where I found the magic sunflower the last time I was with the others, and maybe there is still one. It's a secluded place, and there's no monsters. Nance opened his mouth and said that he had once joined a relatively large mercenary group, although he was only a peripheral member, but he had also done several large-scale missions, but then he felt that the atmosphere of the mercenary group was not very good, so he quit, and then joined Carter's adventure team.

His words made Carter temporarily dismiss the plan to return, "Then let's go and see, if not, we'll go back." ”

So the group changed to Nance to lead the way.

Although he had only been there once, Nance had a good memory and took his companions around to the place he had said.

It was a clearing hidden in a pile of weeds, and the unknown weeds had small pale yellow flowers, and a dead tree was faintly visible underneath, and there were traces of scorched black lightning strikes on the dead trees lying on the ground, which may be the reason for the formation of the clearing.

"Let's look separately and stay safe, there might be snakes in there." Carter commanded, looking at his nephew again, "Arthur, you follow me." ”

Arthur was a little unconvinced, but obediently followed.

Several people searched separately and soon reaped the rewards.

"Found it!"

Benny motioned for everyone to come over, and when they got closer, a short plant with a few small flowers on top of it was inconspicuous in a pile of equally flowering weeds, and would ignore the past if they didn't pay attention.

"There are seven flowers! Great, we can keep two more for this mission. Roger's temperament is more lively, and when he saw that the harvest was good, he couldn't help but laugh.

The others were also very happy, they were given the task of handing over five flowers, and now there are many, and the rest will naturally belong to them, and they can get a lot of money if they sell them when the time comes.

"I'll pick it!" Arthur volunteered, he was an apprentice in magic and also took potions, although he didn't learn much, but he still knew how to handle basic potion materials.

Carter didn't stop him, but said, "Just pick the flowers and stems, and leave the roots for them to grow later." ”

"yes, I see." Athur had wanted to pluck the whole plant, but after listening to him, he changed his mind.

While Arthur was moving, the others were on guard nearby, and it was quiet all around, but everyone didn't let up.

Nance's ears moved, and he suddenly lay down, his ears touching the ground, "Uncle, something is coming, it's a big guy." ”

Carter's face was not very good, and he didn't wait for Arthur to deal with the magic sunflower, so he directly stepped forward and pulled out the dagger on his waist, grabbed the remaining flowers and cut them off, and stuffed them into the box containing the flowers, "We have to get out of here immediately." ”

It's just that their movements are still slow.

With the startled flock of birds, the sound of the beast running was getting closer and closer, and it could be heard even if you didn't have to listen to it, and it was a little different from what Nance had judged, not one, but two.

Two larger-than-human creatures jumped over the bushes that stood in their way, one in front of the other, one behind the other.

The air was filled with the powerful coercion of high-level demonic beasts, and the cold hairs on Carter's tense body stood up, large pieces of sweat slid down his forehead, and it took him great self-control to control his weak legs and barely maintain a vigilant posture.

His appearance was already the best, the young Arthur couldn't even hold his wand steadily, and the whole person was paralyzed on the ground and couldn't get up, leaving Nance and the others who were better than him, but not much better.

Although there was a slight difference in appearance, they still recognized that the two in front of them were obviously extremely rare eighth-order demonic beasts Dark Tiger Lion Beasts.

Oh, my God...... How could such a high-level demonic beast appear on the outskirts of the forest.

Several people have a kind of despair that their lives are on the rise, their strength can't even beat a fifth-order demonic beast, let alone this kind of high-level demonic beast, and it is also two at a time, at this moment, everyone does not expect to escape.

It's just that the two high-level demonic beasts didn't act immediately after stopping them, but lay on the spot.

In this way, the adventure team couldn't help but start looking at the high-level demonic beasts in front of them.

This look makes the difference.

Compared to the dark tiger and lion beast behind them, which was only not quite the same color as the rumored one with pure black fur, the one in front of them was not only the wrong color, but also the appearance was not very similar.

The big guy in the way had tiger-like stripes on its body, a fluffy and dense light-colored mane from its head to its neck, hairs around its limbs, and a longer fluffy tail, and when it lay down, the whole beast seemed to be surrounded by clouds and mist.

In their fearful and amazed gazes, the mane of the mutant Dark Tiger Lion moved, and then a small figure emerged from it.

It was a young boy, no more than ten years old, with short brown hair that was soft and shiny, his features soft and beautiful, his eyelashes curled, and his large, godly amber eyes had a gentle lightness, and when he stood in the sun, his whole being seemed to be shining.

This little boy who appeared strangely, but was full of good feelings at first glance, stood there, opened his red and full mouth to them, and said a word.
