157. The yellow finch that catches the cicada

It is a simple task to hike through the leafy black pine forest, the whole dense forest is overgrown with weeds, and fortunately there is a sheep intestine path in the forest, I don't know who opened it up, but the weeds were roughly trampled down, and a very simple path was formed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Anne didn't have any intention of resisting all the way, and it was very difficult for Anne to pull out the long leather boots into the deep and fertile soil, perhaps with heavy shackles on her hands, and every step Anne took was extremely difficult.

I wonder why Anne is so tired, because according to her physical fitness, she can't get tired even if she runs around the black pine forest.

She seems to have been showing weakness, a fourth-year swordsman apprentice of the War Academy, especially a student like her who has received the school's merit medal, in the face of these low-level priests, she will never have the slightest power to resist, but she is now showing the appearance of a weak woman, even walking in the dense forest, it seems a little unsteady. Even the priest behind her kept rubbing oil obscenely, and Anne endured it.

I hid in the bushes, and secretly watched her, just in time to see her being pushed hard by the priest behind me, and leaning forward uncontrollably, just turning her face to the side where I was hiding, and I saw blood on her lips hidden in the shadows, and I guessed that she must have endured it very hard. I'm wondering why Anne didn't wear the sword that exuded a strong element of fire, which was obviously unconscionable as a swordsman's apprentice.

I didn't dare to follow too closely, for fear of being discovered by them, so I just stayed far behind, so that I could only see a little shadow of them in the black pine forest, and then with the traces left by the two priests, I followed Anne from afar.

The forest was very quiet, and this strange scene of insects not singing and birds not saying a word made me feel a little uneasy.

Sure enough, just as I was thinking about it, suddenly a few shadows flashed in the woods in front of me, and then there was a faint sound of fighting, and I didn't dare to blatantly run over to join in the fun, so I had to climb a huge pine tree, hide on the top of the tree and watch the fight from afar. Several young fourth-year warrior academy students surrounded the two priests in the center, the grumpy warrior was kicked by the young warrior apprentice and rolled out of the ground, and then there was a sound of begging for mercy, the young warrior apprentices obviously ignored these voices of mercy, after a punch and kick, the two priests in the temple sat under the stump in embarrassment, their clothes were already in tatters.

My eyesight was very good, and I could clearly see that the clothes of the two priests were covered with various footprints, and it looked like they must have been punched and kicked.

The priest named Gunther kept begging Anne, but Anne, who had already taken the handcuffs off, was unmoved.

Anne clasped her hands in front of her chest, stepped out one foot, stepped on the heel of her high-heeled leather boots on Gunther's shoulder, leaned down and communicated with the priest about something, at first, Anne still had a little patience, but halfway through, Anne had already changed her face, kicked the priest hard, kicked him away again, and pointed at the priest and said a few words viciously, and then directly drew her long sword, wanting to kill the man with a sword.

You know, killing a clergy in a temple is a felony.

In the Grimm Empire, it can be said that killing a clergyman is more culpable than killing a nobleman.

Naturally, those friends on the side would not let Anne really kill the priest, so they hurriedly intervened to stop them, so that the two priests were spared a beating.

Anne and her friends tied the two wounded priests to the pine tree, and gagged their mouths with stinky socks, and then they left, it seemed that they had taken some information out of the mouths of the two priests, they had a new goal, I still followed from a distance, and when I came to the tree where the two priests were tied, the two priests were trying to untie the ropes, and when they saw me coming over with a confused face, they thought I was a magic apprentice who had strayed into the black pine forest and got lost, and hurriedly called to me constantly, apparently telling me to hurry over and untie the ropes tied to them。

Looking at their pleading faces, I saw at a glance that the ropes on Gunther's body had been loosened, and it might not be too long, even if I wasn't here, they would break free, so I hurriedly trotted all the way and asked blankly, "Oh, two priests, what's wrong with you? Did you meet a robber? Who dares to kidnap a clergyman on Mount Antia, what a boldness!"

As I spoke, I walked as fast as I could, as if I were about to hurry around behind the tree and untie the rope.

The two priests were also overjoyed to see my posture, and nodded their heads in agreement with what I said, but instead of untying the rope from behind the tree, I leaned down, raised my arms, and pointed them into knives, and slashed at the back of the head of Priest Gunther, knocking him unconscious. Then before the other priest could react, he knocked him unconscious again.

I carefully checked it twice to make sure that the ropes I was wearing would not break away even if they woke up, and then I was relieved to leave.

I don't want these two priests to come over with a large number of clergy and Bishop Andua from the temple before I can rescue Sue, and then things won't be good.

After all, Anne is still too young and not sophisticated enough to do things, and if I hadn't followed, it might not be long before the two priests would have led someone to arrest Anne and her friends.

I followed the shallow trails they left behind and ran deep into the pine forest......

I didn't think that Anne still had such a hand, it turned out that she deliberately let these priests catch her, it seems that Anne knows a lot more clues than me, at least he knows that these priests will definitely take her through this black pine forest, and let her friends ambush here early, and capture the two priests in one fell swoop, it seems that she has got some clues from them, and she has found those clues.

In that case, all I have to do is keep Anne and the others along.

...... Beautiful Dividing Line......

In order to keep the sound of the gun as low as possible, I wrapped my coat directly around the Thorsilver shotgun.

"Bang" a gunshot, a red flame erupted from the muzzle, chasing towards the figure in the air like black lightning, the trajectory like a red line stayed in the air, and the red-eyed bat was already 'squeaking' and screaming, and fell headlong on the barren grass.

I put away the silver shotgun again, jumped down from the tree, and came to the red-eyed bat's side, I never thought that near the temple of Mount Antia, there would be a first-level demonic beast, fortunately, this first-level demonic beast is a red-eyed bat, the bat will almost lose most of its combat ability during the day, usually they will hide in the cave, until the night will come out to hunt, I didn't expect that in the hollow of the oak tree, there is still such a big guy.

After the death of the monster 'Red-Eyed Bat', he left behind a bone on a winged that looked quite crystal white, "Crystal Light Bone" This is some of the materials that leather makers and craftsmen need to use to make equipment, and it can be used to make the bow arm of the recurve bow, this magic material is very light, and is loved by many archers. Although I don't know the value of this thing, the materials produced by Warcraft are generally very valuable.

I didn't expect to have an unexpected gain.

Any level of demonic beasts, now in front of me is pale and powerless, this time I am quite well prepared, after having the silver shotgun, my combat power has increased precipitously, this long-distance blocking firearm with the assistance of magic perception and spiritual sea, the hit rate is surprisingly high, even if it is a red-eyed bat flying like a black lightning, in the end it failed to escape my gun.

At this time, I was pinching my nose, bending over and leaning forward slightly, carefully picking out a bone from the pile of rotten flesh of the red-eyed bat with a wooden stick, and quickly freed up a backpack space to fit in. My magic fanny pack also has climbing tools, ropes, flints, pickaxes, medicine hoes, cloth bags, a small amount of water and dry food, candles, and some frost scrolls sold in the magic grocery store, and I even installed some small beast clips on these scrolls, after all, hunters don't know how to do this kind of delicate work of installing magic scrolls on them, let alone those clumsy magic apprentices, so all along, the frost magic scrolls in my grocery store are equipped with small beast clips, and they are completely installed。

I have been in the outskirts of the black pine forest, through the forest to see a beautiful manor built on the edge of the cliff, this small manor does not look very large, but has a small courtyard, the courtyard style houses enclose this small courtyard in the middle, but these houses are divided into two floors, and the construction is very elegant, it can be seen that the owner is a very noble status, although these houses are built on the edge of the cliff, but the stone wall outside the house, is still whitewashed into white ash, from a distance looks very neat。

There are also a few small tracts of farmland and an orchard of golden apple trees on the hills that surround the estate, which is quite extensive, and most of the hills outside the black pine forest seem to be planted with golden apple trees. At a glance, you can't see the edges, you just feel that all the mountains are lush and green, as if apple trees have been planted.

I don't think it's a wild beast, because this is Mount Antia, there is a magnificent temple here, and according to Rryant told me, there has been no sign of a monster around El City for a long time, at least for decades, and the people here have forced those dangerous creatures to hide in the purple green mountains. Therefore, there is a good chance that this red-eyed bat is raised, and it is possible that this bat is also a guard guard at night in the manor.

Otherwise, with the temperament of bats, they prefer to live in caves rather than in tree caves.

From afar, I saw Anne and her party walking along the orchard of golden apples towards the manor, and I could only follow closely behind.

This bat is the second trouble I helped them solve, obviously the bat living in the tree cave found Annie and his party, and wanted to stare at the scorching sun, return to the manor to report a message, but I didn't expect to die directly under my gun, this kind of monster that is good at vampire magic and is good at flying speed, is very clever.

That manor is right in front of my eyes......

...... Beautiful Dividing Line......

Standing on a pine tree at the edge of the black pine forest, the next moment, I saw a black figure emerge from the pine forest, the body as big as a calf, the black and smooth fur as satin, the huge dog's head with a bloody mouth and sharp teeth and fangs, and the scarlet eyes revealing an infinite fierce light, it was clearly a hellhound, as for a hellhound with a head.

This hound is at best a first-class magical beast, I once hunted one in front of my house in the city of El, so I don't have any fear when I see this kind of hound, but when I see that the hellhound is not chasing Anne rushing over, but running frantically towards the bottom of the cliff, my heart sank to the bottom.

It was terrible, we must have been discovered, and the hellhound actually gave up the opportunity to hunt for food, and reflexively ran down the cliff.

What does this mean?

This shows that this hellhound is also a secret whistle lurking in the black pine forest, it found an outsider, and actually did not pounce on it to bite to death at the first time, but ran directly to the manor to warn, this is really a big bad thing!

Who can train these demonic beasts of the hell realm to tame them like demonic pets?

But my body was like a bird flying in the air, and without any equipment, I jumped straight down from an oak tree dozens of meters high, stretched my body, and let the magic jacket on my body catch the airflow so that I could glide a little farther, and I chased straight after the fast-running hellhound.

Now that it's out of my range, I can only catch up.

However, I found that the hellhound did not run to the manor on the top of the cliff, but wanted to run down the cliff and chase all the way......

When I got to the bottom of the cliff, I found that there was a dark cave at the bottom of the cliff, and this cave was hidden in the grass and bushes.

At this moment, the figure of the hellhound flashed through the cave, and I did not hesitate to burrow into this cave.

I closed my eyes and counted silently for a few seconds, and then opened my eyes again, only to find that the cave was full of traces of artificial excavation. (To be continued.) )
