The sun was shining in the evening, and the bright red sunset stained half of the sky in the west.

The edge of the Ancient Forest is eerily quiet.

Here, there is a group of elven guards with special identities, who are stationed here all year round to ensure that powerful magical beasts from the outside do not enter the ancient forest.

After all, there are many small villages inhabited by elves all over the forest.

And the large demonic beasts are likely to affect the safety of these small villages.

At this time, several elven guards were standing on the branches of a towering tree, talking and laughing with each other.

"What do you think happened to that battle in Tarona? I heard that the war is in full swing!"

"Well, I've heard about it too! It is said that many people have died, and this time for the coalition forces, it can be said that it is a heavy loss!"

"Hey, actually, I don't understand why we elves should be involved in the battle between humans and demons?"

"You don't understand this, do you? Once the demons have won the victory over humanity, it will be our turn next! So in the long run, we should indeed join the fight early!"

......

Several elven guards chatted as the sky grew darker and darker.

"Hey, it's a good thing that we won't be affected here for the time being, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully!"

As he spoke, one of the elven guards jumped to the ground, glanced at the increasingly dark surroundings, turned his back to a few companions, and waved his hand: "I'll go around and look around, you guys wait for me here, and then go back to the camp for dinner together!"

The friends smiled and said, "Who wants to wait for you here!

After those people finished speaking, they smiled at each other and glanced at each other, and then they all landed, laughing and walking towards the military camp not far away.

The elven guard who needed to go on patrol couldn't help but laugh and curse a few times, then shook his head helplessly and walked towards the plains not far away.

To the northwest of the Ancient Forest, there is a vast prairie, but unlike the climate of Tarot, which is different from the climate of the four seasons of the year, this grassland is full of dead grass all year round.

The point is that after the withered grass, it has always been in a state of standing tall and has not shown widespread decay. This has been going on for tens of thousands of years, and no one has been able to give a reasonable explanation for it.

Because of this, the elves used to call this vast wasteland "eternal wasteland".

The dead grass here is generally very tall and lush, and because of this, some demonic beasts with relatively high intelligence and strength like to use the cover of these weeds to sneak into the ancient forest.

And these elves guarding the vicinity of the Ancient Forest are just to stop those demonic beasts with bad intentions.

In the Ancient Forest, there are abundant food and water sources, and the environment is also very suitable, which can naturally attract a large number of demonic beasts.

Especially in recent years, after the Demon Beast Mountain of Garneman was occupied by demons, a large number of high-level demonic beasts who fled out of the country have set their sights on the Ancient Forest.

It's just that, after all, the Ancient Forest is the territory of the elves, and if you want to successfully enter it, it is not something that can be done casually.

Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult for ordinary demonic beasts to get close to the ancient forest, after all, the elves' visual ability is very strong, and it is difficult for demonic beasts to escape their search.

And around the Ancient Forest, there is one place that is the best breakthrough, and that is this "Eternal Wasteland".

The lush and towering weeds here provide the best cover.

Therefore, in order to prevent some monsters that are not too tall from sneaking into the ancient forest, the guards of the elf clan will generally stand on a high place and observe the wind and grass around them.

The elven guard whistled as he slowly walked into the depths of the weeds.

He wasn't worried that a demonic beast would sneak in while he was deep into the weeds.

Because, at the edge of the ancient forest, there are many night owls raised by the elves, and their eyes are even sharper. If there is any wind in the grass, the night owls will let out a warning cry.

In this way, the elven military camp not far from here can quickly receive the signal and make a quick response.

In the past three years or so, they have successfully intercepted hundreds of high-level magical beasts, preventing the Ancient Forest from falling into chaos.

Because of this, they have always been full of confidence in holding on to this ancient forest.

The elven guard in charge of the patrol turned around and was ready to turn away.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard something unusual coming from among the weeds not far away.

"Huh?" he frowned, looking in the direction the sound was coming from.

At this time, the sun had already set, and a bright moon hung obliquely in the sky, and the silver-white moonlight had covered the earth.

Elves believe in Elune, the god of moonlight, so when they are immersed in moonlight, their vision becomes sharper.

However, after a careful search, he did not find anything unusual.

He looked up again, at the night owl that was hovering overhead, and there didn't seem to be anything wrong.

"Maybe it's my delusion?" the elven guard shook his head, then turned and walked back.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt that his ankles seemed to be tied by something at once, and then the whole person was dragged by a huge force, constantly dragging towards the depths of the weeds.

With a frightened look on his face, he tried to raise his head slightly, looked at his ankle, and saw that it was a thick tail covered with long black hair!

He immediately pulled out a large sword from his waist, and then with all his strength, he slashed at the tail!

"Uh-huh!"

There was a scream, the tail snapped, and the elven guard was free.

He quickly got up, and then ran without thinking about it!

As he ran, he kept looking behind him, and saw that something seemed to be rapidly approaching him in the long grass not far behind him!

He panicked all of a sudden, then dropped the somewhat heavy sword in his hand and kept running as hard as he could!

Two hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters, ten meters......

Seeing that he was about to run out of this vast wasteland, the elven guard couldn't help but feel hopeful!!

But at the moment when he was about to run out, another thick long-haired tail suddenly tied his waist, making him quickly fall back into the long grass!

It wasn't long before a terrible scream came from the depths of the wasteland, followed by a dead silence that made people feel extremely nervous and uneasy!
