Chapter 6: Strange Shadows

Just as the three of them were about to withdraw from the woods, the mysterious figure hidden in the weeds reappeared. This time, the mysterious creature rushed straight at Wren.

Wren snorted coldly, and the long sword in his hand instantly stabbed into the grass a meter in front of him. But the shadow reacted extremely quickly, and with a quick change of direction, it dodged Wren's long sword in an instant.

Before Wren could draw his sword again, the mysterious creature had already rushed out of the grass and pounced on Wren's chest.

Wren wanted to withdraw his long sword to block his chest, but he was still a step too late, and a pair of extremely sharp claws pierced Wren's steel cuirass in an instant, leaving several extremely terrifying wounds on his chest.

In the blink of an eye, the black shadow disappeared again!

It all happened so fast that the three knights didn't even see the true appearance of the black shadow.

Wren looked at his wound and saw a burst of white smoke rising from the scratch, the claws of the mysterious creature must be poisonous, if not treated in time, the wound will definitely fester, and then it will be troublesome.

Wren understood that his main task when he left the City of Light this time was to lead the knight team and escort the children to the imperial capital safely, and the knights at this time must not die here in vain.

"Get out of here!" Wren shouted.

The other two knights looked at each other, as if they didn't know whether to leave or not.

"It's an order!" Wren roared again.

Hearing this, the two knights began to turn and gallop towards the large army in the distance.

At this time, Wren's anger had been completely ignited, and today he had lost two powerful knights, and now he would not allow the third knight to be lost.

However, no sooner had the two knights turned than there was another noise in the grass.

Wren glared angrily, the sword in his hand ready to strike at any moment.

With a "whoosh", a black shadow flew in and rushed past Wren's side.

"Get out of here!" Wren roared, and the sword was already stabbed to the side of his body. Seeing that the blade of the sword was about to stab the black shadow, but at that last moment, the black shadow suddenly disappeared.

It was really gone, as if the shadow had never appeared. What kind of creature is this, and it can be so fast.

At this time, Rosen in the distance had already turned pale with fright, and his face was frightened.

"I don't want to die, I'm still young, I haven't become a real magician, I can't die!" he grabbed the arm of one of the knights in extreme panic, "Please, keep me safe!"

Stephen and Dylan, both on the side, couldn't help but cast disdainful glances at him, even though all three were teenagers of about the same age. But it is obvious that the son of the former city lord of North Wind City is a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and can only bully the weak and fear the hard.

Wren saw the black shadow disappear, but his heart did not relax in the slightest, but became more uneasy. Because the shadow was moving so fast, so fast that he couldn't figure out its whereabouts.

But at present, the black shadow should be a fierce beast, but what kind of beast is it that uses such terrifying speed and lethality? And its claws are even poisonous.

Everyone didn't dare to relax, and everyone kept searching around, trying to find the trace of the black shadow. Something unknown can always make people very scary.

"There!"

One of the knights suddenly shouted loudly, and everyone looked in the direction he was pointing.

On the grass not far away, a black wolf stood at this time. But the wild wolf was different from ordinary wolves, its eyes glowed red, and it seemed to have a hint of red flame.

The white fangs of the forest are particularly conspicuous in the dark night, and the saliva that keeps dripping from the corners of the mouth makes people can't help but tremble when they see it.

At this point, the wolf's back hair exploded completely, and it seemed to be tougher than ordinary metal.

"What the hell is that monster!" exclaimed.

But as soon as his words fell, the monster disappeared again.

By the time it reappeared, the ferocious beast was ten meters in front of Stephen. At this point, its mouth was wide open, and its sharp teeth were completely exposed.

"Not good!" Wren couldn't help but shout loudly when he saw this.

Wren wanted to try his best to save this future magician of the Empire, but at this time he was too far away from the crowd to do so!

"Hey!" Wren couldn't help but close his eyes, not daring to look at the upcoming tragedy.

At this time, Stephen's eyes were firmly fixed on the black monster, and he didn't seem to have reacted yet, he was about to face the arrival of death.

However, just when everyone thought that Stephen would inevitably die in the mouth of the monster, a strange scene occurred, and the black monster suddenly wailed in mid-air, and then landed quickly, and then glanced at the crowd in horror, and disappeared into the vast wilderness like lightning.

Soon, Wren came to Stephen's side, he quickly pulled Stephen up, and while checking his body, he asked with concern, "Child, are you okay?"

Stephen gradually regained his senses and whispered, "I, I'm fine." ”

Seeing that the future magician of the empire was not injured, Wren's heart that had been hanging was finally relieved.

"Whew, it's okay, it's okay!" Wren lost two powerful men today, and if the future magician of the empire also died here, then he really didn't know how to return to the imperial capital.

Soon, everyone slowly calmed down, except for the overly frightened Rosen.

"Let's get out of here!" Wren immediately ordered. It's too dangerous to be sure that the terrible wolf will ever reappear.

At this time, it was about five hours before dawn, and everyone would rather rush in the dark than stay here for an extra second.

Soon, the group set off again. Under Wren's overall arrangement, Dylan's carriage was surrounded by the remaining knights in the center. An experienced knight leads the way in front, while Wren is in charge of the break.

The convoy slowly moved forward, and the three children in the car had their own thoughts.

Na Lawson was overly nervous, and once his mind relaxed at this time, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Stephen, on the other hand, tugged at Dylan's cuffs and whispered to Dylan's ear, "Thank you for saving me just now." ”

Dylan looked at him with a feigned doubt, as if he didn't understand what he was saying.

Stephen lowered his voice and said, "I heard you just now, you chanted a very strange incantation next to me. And just then, the terrible monster fled in a hurry. ”

Seeing that he couldn't hide this extremely smart "nerd", Dylan smiled and said, "No thanks. ”

After speaking, he subconsciously touched his chest again. It seems that this mysterious magic book in his arms is really a treasure. But what kind of magic does it belong to?
