Volume 2 The Call of Fate Chapter 49 Dream Back (2)
In the Demon Forest, one or two roars of unknown demonic beasts from time to time made this group of rookie adventurers more and more nervous. Fortunately, they still have self-knowledge, knowing that with the strength of a few of them, they can't go deep into the hinterland of the forest where the activities of the terrifying large demonic beasts are more frequent, so during the adventure of the past few days, they have been wandering away from the edge of the forest.
Robonia sighed slightly, she knew that she had been wandering around the edge of the forest like this, and she couldn't find any clues about her parents' disappearance, but they also didn't have the ability to break into the hinterland of the Demon Realm Forest, which made people talk about it. In fact, for this adventurous operation to find clues about the disappearance of her parents, Ravnia did not have much hope. What she was worried about in her heart was that as long as she could come to the place where her parents disappeared to take a look, she would forget about a matter that had been buried in her heart for many years.
"Look, what is that?" said a student named Horns, who was at the front of the line.
Hearing the sound, everyone couldn't help but slow down, and saw that on the trunks of several big trees on the side of the road in front, more than a dozen white silk sacs of different sizes were tightly tied with white filaments. Just when everyone was curious and wanted to gather around to check, Daniels said in a deep voice: "There are too many strange things here, so everyone should be careful." ”
Hearing Daniels' warning, everyone suddenly stopped. "Well, Daniels is right, the Demon Forest is full of danger, and we should be careful. Ravnia said approvingly. Then, she chanted the incantation softly, and an almost transparent wind blade gradually formed around her. With a wave of her jade hand, the wind blade flew quickly towards one of the white silk sacs.
There was a crisp "click", and the wind blade cut through the white silk sac. A pus-stinking yellow mucus quickly flowed out of the chrysalis, and when the mucus drained, everyone was greeted by a humanoid corpse that had long since become emaciated and shriveled.
"It's a dry corpse. An aristocratic student named Jamison exclaimed.
Robonia frowned slightly, and sent out several wind blades in succession, flying towards different white silk sacs. When the sac was cut open by the Wind Blade, it contained a shriveled corpse that looked like a human or a beast, except for the yellow slime that flowed out.
It seems that these victims were either adventurers who came to the Demon Forest to take risks, or they were Demon Beasts living in the Demon Forest. As a top student trained by Augustus Academy, Daniels, who is good at analyzing the situation, quickly judged their current situation, "The situation is not good, it seems that we have broken into the territory of some kind of fierce demon beast." These victims are supposed to have been sucked dry by the life essence of that kind of demonic beast as food, and then turned into dried corpses. ”
"Then let's get out of here. As soon as he heard that he had strayed into the territory of the Demon Beast, and then looked at the tragic death of the dried corpses all over the ground, Jamison immediately panicked.
"Listen, what's that?" said Horns, his face changed slightly.
Everyone listened intently, and in the forest, except for the sound of the wind, it seemed to be quiet, and there was no movement.
"Horns, did you hear me right? Jamison asked, somewhat dissatisfied.
Horns put his right index finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture.
Jamison frowned, but kept his mouth shut as Reed asked. It wasn't long before everyone heard a faint, dense rustling sound around the forest, as if something was rushing towards the area.
Everyone's faces changed in unison, and their vigilance was immediately born.
In an instant, the sound of "rustling" around everyone was loud, and brown figures as big as a millstone quickly crawled out from all sides of the forest, surrounding these few uninvited guests who broke into the Demon Domain Forest.
"What are these things?" exclaimed Jamison.
"Spiders, giant spiders. An aristocratic student named Reed took off his bow and shouted in response to Jamison.
"That's not right...... , how do they have scales, and their faces...... Oh my God, it's a tarantula, an iron-scaled tarantula. Another aristocratic student named Joseph also showed his sword and cried out in horror.
Looking at the brown figures that kept pouring out, everyone's faces began to turn pale. This group of rookie adventurers has more or less heard of the various notorious magical beasts living in the Demon Domain Forest, including a huge spider called the Iron Scale Tarantula.
This unique spider in the Demon Forest is called the Iron-scaled Wolf-faced Spider, referred to as the Iron-scaled Tarantula because its shell is covered with hard scales and has a face like a wolf's face. In fact, compared with many terrifying demonic beasts in the Demon Forest, this kind of tarantula is not particularly strong in terms of individual strength, most of them are only about level four, which can barely be called a mid-level demonic beast. However, because the iron-scaled tarantula likes to live in groups, if you encounter this kind of tarantula, you will definitely run into a large group, which makes simple problems headaches. In addition, the iron-scaled tarantula has a hard carapace, a highly poisonous chelicera, an extremely ferocious temperament, and a high level of wisdom, which is quite cunning, so the adventurers who enter the Demon Forest are very reluctant to encounter this kind of social demonic beast. And this kind of demonic beast has activities both in the hinterland and at the edge of the Demon Domain Forest, but their activities at the edge of the forest are relatively rare. This time, these rookie adventurers just encountered such a swarm of iron-scaled tarantulas at the edge of the forest, and their luck was obviously not very good. However, what made them a little relieved was that the number of this group of iron-scaled tarantulas was fortunately not too many, only more than twenty individuals.
In the rookie adventurer team, Daniels is a fifth-level swordsman, Horns and Joseph are fourth-level peak and fourth-level swordsmen, Reed is a fourth-level archer, and Robonia and Jamison are fourth-level and third-level magicians respectively. Although it is a rookie in terms of adventure experience, but only in terms of combat power level, this 'rookie' adventurer team is actually not a rookie. And in terms of configuration, there are combat and legal positions in the team, both melee and long-range attacks, as long as the tactics are appropriate, the offense and defense are decent, and in the face of more than 20 fourth-level iron-scaled wolf clans whose wisdom is still a little worse than that of people, everyone has enough capital for a battle.
Looking at the adventurers who broke into the territory, the huge iron-scaled tarantula let out an excited chirp of "whoosh" from its mouth, and the fishy saliva continued to drip from the blood-red mouth, in their eyes, this group of adventurers was no different from the delicious food.
"I, what are we going to do...... What should I do?" Jamison asked his companions with difficulty, cold sweat already trickling down his head. In this team of adventurers composed of aristocratic students, he is the least daring and the least assertive when it comes to problems.
"Daniels is the best of us, and he is also ranked first in the school's military strategy assessment, so I suggest we all listen to his unified command now. As a woman from the military god family, Robonia, who has a certain understanding of the military, immediately suggested. She knew in her heart that the current situation was like two armies facing each other, and the first task for her side now was to determine a person who could control the overall situation, and reasonably arrange the use of manpower to deal with the fierce battle that was about to begin. And the best candidate at the moment is obviously Daniels.
For Robnia's favor, Daniels was of course secretly proud in his heart. He glanced at the rivals beside him, and found that although their faces looked a little embarrassed, they did not say anything against them. At the moment of the great enemy, their lives are at stake, and these aristocratic students are not mediocre people, and they can still distinguish the priorities of the matter. The stinky boy in front of him is obviously the best in Robonia's eyes, but this can't be helped, who is the best one among everyone?
Daniels thus became the undisputed leader of the crowd for the time being.
