“…… Everyone has something to do. ”

A must-do? What a strange answer, Yun Ying thought that Ji Lie would answer as always, "It was Lord Frank who asked me to take good care of Miss Yun Ying", but now, how intriguing, what broke Ji Li's psychological defense?

"Well, forget it, since you don't pay attention, follow me, but I can't guarantee your safety."

"Hehe, I knew this on the first day I became a mercenary in the industry - no one can protect others forever, but I firmly believe that following Miss Yunying will be extra lucky, and you say it seriously every time, Miss Yunying has never left anyone behind at a critical juncture."

“…… Hmph, you're clear. ”

Ji Lie's words made Yun Ying a little stunned, since when did she start giving others this feeling?

Early in the morning of the third day, the boring journey continued, and three hours later, Yunying, who stood at the edge of the swamp, frowned and saw the horseshoe prints enter the forest before her.

"Miss Yunying, do you want to continue chasing in?"

Looking at the woods ahead, which still appeared dark during the day, Ji Lie involuntarily held the handle of the knife at his waist and swallowed and foamed.

"Wait, let's eat some jerky and drink some water—recharge our strength to face the unknown dangers ahead."

Yun Ying turned over and dismounted to check the surrounding environment, if I remember correctly, this is the place where she fought the monkey last time, but in just two months, it was clean like nothing had happened, was it the corpses dragged away by the beasts, or was it ...... Artificial?

"Jilie, the corpses of those jumping monkeys were disposed of by Flaming?"

"Yes, for fear of causing unnecessary panic among pedestrians, Lord Franming sent someone to clean up this place thoroughly, those people can be regarded as rich, dozens of third-order demon cores and dozens of animal skins ......"

"Magic core? Skins? ”

The expression on Yun Ying's face was smiling, "If I'm not mistaken, those things are my trophies, right?" ”

"Uh...... It's not that you didn't care about Miss Yunying at that time, and you didn't take the second-order demon core that destroyed so many scavenging rats last time-I am only rich and you must not be able to look down on these little things for a long time. ”

"Hmph. Tell me who is too rich? ”

Yun Ying was unhappy in her heart, she only knew how many gold coins she had missed when Ji Lie reminded her like this, how could she have forgotten about getting rich when she saw Flangel and them coming? Cloud Shadow gritted a mouthful of silver teeth, but he couldn't open his mouth and asked Ji Lie for a kickback - this is a cheap Flemming guy.

"Hey, Miss Yunying eats jerky."

Look at Ji Lie's cautious expression, Yun Ying tore his mouth fiercely, and the rp skyrocketed.

After eating, drinking, and resting, Cloud Shadow looked at the sun in the middle of the sky and decided to enter the forest immediately.

"Jilie, don't be too long-winded, I'll ask again—have you thought about it?"

"Yes!"

Without a superfluous answer, Yunying, who had two horses tied to the trunk of the tree at the intersection, looked at the firm eyes of the man in front of him, shrugged his shoulders, turned his back, and strode towards the woods.

"Miss Cloud Shadow, please let me explore the way."

Jilie hurriedly followed what he should do if he wanted to be cannon fodder.

"Less nonsense, what should I do if I block Miss Ben's view?"

Yun Ying refused Ji Lie without looking back. She never had a habit of letting her teammates help her block bullets.

Thirty minutes later, Cloud Shadow and Kirilli had carved the twentieth cross-shaped mark into the tree they had passed by, and they did so roughly every thirty paces. But now our heroine has stopped for the time being.

"It's really troublesome, there are so many weeds here, I can't tell if these fallen grasses are the result of those horses' hooves trampled on before or some magical beast passing by...... Our tracking failed. ”

"Tsk, it's strange that those people have to ride horses in such a dense forest. Or have they placed their horses elsewhere? ”

"yes, I didn't think of that!"

Ji Lie's words made Cloud Shadow scream that she was sluggish, how could she not expect to use magic to help.

"Elemental god of wood, please listen to my prayer - summon the Grass Eye!"

After unleashing the magic with the mixed elemental magic, Cloud Shadow silently closed her eyes, and the image of a forest within a radius of three hundred meters flashed in her mind, and what she was looking for was in it.

"How. Miss Cloud Shadow? ”

Seeing Cloud Shadow close his eyes and perform his magic, Ji Lie also spontaneously pulled out his knife and stood beside her on guard.

"No more, no less than ten horses, tethered to the base camp of the last group of jumping monkeys."

"Base camp?"

Gillie was confused as he had been there last time to get the head of their companion Aji.

"It looks like it's not the first time those people have come to the swamp. They were able to find the clearing where the horses were hidden......"

As she spoke, Cloud Shadow would carefully probe the other corners of the woods with her grass eyes - there was no one else nearby except her and Jilie, and the guys who were walking in front were moving too quickly, right?

"There's no way, it seems that we can only rely on ourselves to explore the way a little bit, anyway, I originally thought that following others would have a lot of strength left."

Quite helplessly opening his eyes, Yunying looked at Ji Lie, whose muscles were tense, and continued to advise: "Relax." Don't go too fast, either, so that in case of a fight, we will maintain good stamina and condition. ”

"Okay."

Ji Lie's answer was crisp. But Yun Ying didn't see any changes in his body at all, as a battle-hardened mercenary, Ji Lieru's nervousness undoubtedly made Yun Ying very puzzled, thinking that he hadn't overreacted so much when he saw the group of jumping monkeys last time.

"Ji Lie, are you hiding something from me?"

Cloud Shadow's sixth sense is always accurate.

“…… No. ”

No? Since Ji Lie refused to accept the help and Yun Ying didn't ask anymore, she wasn't kind enough to be helpful.

"Then move on, God knows my target this time will be in that corner of the swamp."

So far, the two of them have nothing to say but bury their heads in the road, but because the further they walked into the forest, the more vines and plants surrounded them, so when dinner time came, they had walked less than five kilometers.

"Bastard, what the hell, I still can't see the other people, can they still go fast in such road conditions?"

Yunying pulled out the flowers and plants around her with all her might, she needed to make a dry place for Ji Lie to make a fire, and by the way, dinner was still dried meat and water.

"Miss Yunying, don't be in a hurry, let's try to go faster tomorrow."

Gereel looked at the sky covered by the canopy of trees above him, intending to burn the fire more vigorously.

"That's all, I hate the swamp of the Black Hole, it's not even six o'clock in the afternoon, it's already dark and you can only see a figure - this kind of place is really the most inhospitable place for humans in Aniah."
