Tempest stood up on his two hind legs, kicking his front hooves all the way forward, and Tom jumped into the blackberry bushes and unknown bushes on the side, but the wolf didn't attack them. The wolf was actually roaring at www.biquge.info something else.

Something was scurrying through the bushes, coming towards them.

Suddenly, three soldiers appeared from the bushes, and their eyes under their helmets shone with a menacing light. One of the soldiers was holding a crossbow, while the other two were wielding swords. The wolf galloped towards the soldiers, their roars growing more and more angry.

The first soldier was furious and said, "We must teach that stinky little imp a good lesson to this nasty animal, no one can steal the king's things!" ("Hmph, call our handsome heroine a stinky little ghost, see if I don't play you to death" Star Emperor) He picked up the crossbow and aimed it at the wolf's head.

"No, you can't!" As the soldier fired the crossbow, Tom ran out of hiding and threw the sword out of his hand without thinking. The sword leapt through the air, slicing the heavy short arrow from the crossbow in half and plunging it into the trunk of a tree.

"Another poacher! Get him! ("I actually regarded our male protagonist as a robber, I really don't know Taishan!") One of the soldiers picked up his sword and rushed at Tom, but the wolf slammed into the soldier's leg, causing him to fall and eat. The other two soldiers were furious and rushed at Tom as well. ("Are these two soldiers stupid?") It was the wolf that made the soldier fall, but they rushed at Tom. "Nighttime)

Tom grabbed the reins of the gale, jumped into the saddle in an instant, and pressed his body down towards the soldiers. The wolf followed, roaring at the soldiers, and the three soldiers had to flee. Tom turned the wind around, returned to the spot where the sword had fallen, drew it with all his might, and then charged at the three soldiers again, forcing them to flee into the woods. The wolf ran ahead, running wildly through the trees and jumping onto a narrow path. Tom and Swift followed as well.

The wolf ran like a gust of wind, leading Tom and the wind forward until it was impossible for the soldiers to catch up with Tom and the wind, and then slowed down. Tom slowed down the wind and switched to trotting speed.

The wolf stopped, and suddenly a man jumped down from a tree and stood in front of the wolf. It's a girl!

The girl was tall and thin, with short, messy hair and blood-red scratches on her face. She wore breeches and a dirty blouse, and held a bow in one hand and a barrel of arrows in the other. The girl crouched down, greeted the wolf, and then looked up at Tom, her green eyes narrowing.

Tom stopped the blast and assured the girl, "Don't worry, I won't hurt him." Tom climbed down from his horse and introduced himself to the girl, "I'm Tom, and we weren't chasing him, but he was leading us away from the soldiers." ”

The wolf walked gently towards Tom, rubbing his nose against Tom's hand.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled kindly at Tom, "Well, the silver wolf likes you very much, and he knows who is good and who is bad. Since the silver wolf believes in you, then I believe in you too. ”

"How did you raise it?" Tom asked. The silver wolf ran back to the girl, and sat down at her feet, looking at her with adoring eyes.

"Once when I went hunting, I found a wounded silver wolf." The girl told Tom, "I took care of him until he recovered, and since then we have become good friends." The girl took a step forward and shook Tom's hand, "My name is Elena." ”

Tom asked, "How did you come to this place?" ”

Elena frowned, "My uncle is a fisherman, and Silver Wolf and I tried our luck at the river to see if there were any fish, but the river dried up. We ran far away from home, but there were still no fish to catch and nothing to eat. Elena sighed, "So we ran into the forest here to catch the wild man, but the soldiers, thinking we were going to catch the king's deer, chased after us, and the silver wolf and I got separated." ”

Elena was standing behind Tom when there was a sudden bump and shouting nearby. The wind lifted its front legs, and the hairs on the silver wolf's neck stood on end.

"Run! We'd better get out of here! They're still chasing us! Tom said.

Tom put his foot on the stirrup and jumped on the back of the gale. Elena hesitated, and Tom grabbed her hand and asked her to sit behind him as well.

The wind began to gallop, and they raced through the forest. ("A bit like the legendary elopement ......" Celestial Star) Elena clings to Tom's back, and the silver wolf runs beside them.

The soldiers could not keep up with the galloping horses' hooves, and soon their cries were no longer heard. Tom breathed a sigh of relief, and let the wind slow down. When they reached a small clearing in the forest, Tom said to Elena, "I think we're safe." ”

Elena jumped off the back of the wind and looked at Tom, "What's going on?" You seem to be wearing chain mail, but you are so young, how can you be a knight? ”

Tom hesitated. He didn't know why, but he felt he could trust the girl, and Wizard Adulo had said to trust his instincts. Tom knew he had to keep it a secret and couldn't tell anyone about his mission, but maybe he could tell Elena about the beast.

Tom gritted his teeth and decided to explain to Elena, "It's for the sake of the holy beasts, they are controlled by the spell of an evil wizard, and I have been chosen by the king to complete the task of freeing the holy beasts. ”

"You?" Elena was incredulous, "But you're just a little boy!" Elena looked at Tom, and Tom looked at Elena with a determined look.

"But I can see why they chose you......" Elena added, then raised her eyebrows and said, "I've always believed that the Sacred Beast is not just a legend......

Tom replied, "They do." ”

Elena stared at Tom with wide eyes, inwardly curious, "Say a little more." ”

"They have become evil monsters, and the fire-breathing dragon Philo has been ...... by the spell of the Dark Wizard"

"Fellor?" Elena gasped.

"He burned all the crops and dried up the rivers. If there is no way to save Philo, the kingdom of Afanxia will fall into a terrifying famine. ”

"I knew that under natural circumstances, the river couldn't dry up all overnight...... "Elena muttered to herself. She bit her lower lip, then nodded, as if making a decision, "I can't let you go alone, I'm going with you." ”

Tom smiled. He would love to have a friend by his side and go with him to find the fire-breathing dragon, but he remembered what happened to the Knight of Caldor, so he said to Elena, "You can't go, it's too dangerous!" ”

Elena retorted: "It's more dangerous for you to go by yourself!" She took a step forward: "When the soldiers chased us just now, you saved me and the silver wolf, we owe you a favor, and ......" Elena hesitated, "And I think you are very special, I am willing to help you, I can also help you, I know this area well, let me go with you, please." ”

Tom looked at Elena, and he knew she really wanted to help him: "What about your family?" He asked her.

Elena shrugged, "My parents died in a fire a few years ago, and now it's my uncle and his family who are taking care of me. ”

"I also live with my uncle and aunt!" Tom interjected.

Elena smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know what kind of people your uncle and aunt are, but I don't think anyone will find out if I disappear for a while." ”

Tom is saddened by Elena's origins and realizes how lucky he is. ("Readers, have you found out how lucky you are?") He remembered that in the village of Elingna, he thought of his reassuring home, and he also remembered his warm bed. But he quickly put these thoughts aside, and he had to keep his faith firm in order to accomplish it? The quest to release the Holy Beast.

Elena asked, "So what?" Can I come with you? ”

Tom replied, "Of course! I'm glad I had a companion to go with. ”

Elena cried out with joy, and the silver wolf jumped at her feet, howling with joy.

"So how do we find that dragon?" Elena asked Tom as she soothed the excited Silver Wolf.

Tom patted his pocket and said, "I have the map, let's just follow it." Tom whispered, "The big question is what should we do when we find it?" ”
