Everyone looked at the "talking" giant tree in disbelief, suspecting that there was something wrong with their eyes and ears.

"Senior, can we take shelter from the rain with you?" Vane shouted. Ten seconds, twenty seconds, the giant tree didn't move, as if it was all an illusion.

Vane hesitated for a moment and walked towards the tree, followed by the others.

"What kind of tree is this, Vane?" Felder asked, standing under the canopy, brushing his hands from the rain in his hair.

"This is an ancient race called the Ancient Tree People. They are generally in the form of ancient trees, that is, the appearance of trees, and can grow legs and hands when needed, transforming into the form of tree people. Vane replied as he sat on the ground.

"It scared me just now, this tree won't eat us, will it?" asked Ish, still a little scared.

"Ancient Treants Never Eat People......" Without waiting for Vane to reply, a deep voice came from the side.

“......”

Soon the rain began to light down and the clouds thinned out a lot. The humidity in the air mixed with the smell of earth is refreshing. After thanking the ancient tree people, everyone continued to walk east.

The soil that had just fallen was soft and wet, and the birds were active in the branches. However, this is only the surface, in fact, there are dangers hidden everywhere in the forest, poisonous snakes and poisonous insects will come out to feed after the rain, everyone has to walk cautiously with a special spirit, while looking for any possible clues.

The endless trees, the unchanging scenery, the freshness at the beginning has disappeared, and everyone looks exhausted and a little depressed.

"Wait, did you hear anything?" Vane asked suddenly.

"Nope. The others shook their heads, dazed.

Before the words fell, there was a faint low roar in the distance, like a huge thunder rolling in the sky, and like the merciless roar of the sea, echoing in the forest, and birds and beasts were shocked everywhere they went.

The roar lasted for about ten seconds, and everyone was terrified.

"What is this?" Felder asked for a long time.

"I don't know, there are a lot of unknown beasts in the Everfree Forest. Vane said. He didn't dare to speculate, because he thought of a legendary ancient creature, a dragon, a legendary creature that no one had seen for a thousand years.

"Or else...... Shall we go back?" Eth's voice grew lower.

"That thing is far away from us, I'm afraid it's in the depths of the Everfree Forest, so there's no need to worry. Felder pretended to be calm, but swallowed unconsciously.

"I follow Captain Elena, and I will go wherever she goes. Simpson said with a grimace.

The crowd looked at Elena, who, without saying a word, took the bow and arrow from behind his back, held the bow in his left hand and the arrow in his right, and walked forward without looking back. As if infected by some kind of atmosphere, several other people also firmly followed suit.

Tall trees that cannot be named are scattered irregularly, and their dense foliage obscures the sky. Countless rattans crawl on the ground or other plants in an intricate way, and from time to time you can see strange insects crawling on the surrounding branches and leaves. The ground is overgrown with ferns with toothed leaves, and low-lying puddles and mossy stones can be seen everywhere.

The members of the Black Ghost helped each other onwards and struggled forward.

"These 100 gold coins are really not easy to earn. Felder said as he waved his sword in front of him. "I'll definitely go to ...... when I get the gold coins this time."

"Ahh Felder turned around and saw Ise staring at Elena with a look of horror, and Elena was dazed.

"A black hand took your arrows just now......" Ace looked around. Elena touched back, and sure enough, all the arrows were gone.

"What black hands?" said Felder with a frown.

"There, the monkey!" exclaimed Ace, pointing to the top of a tree.

When everyone looked, they saw a strange monkey hanging upside down in the air with his tail wrapped around a branch, and an arrow in one hand. The monkey was not large, dark gray, but its tail was thick and long, almost twice the length of its body, and its arms looked thick and powerful.

It seemed that Ace had angered her by yelling at it, and the monkey screamed, picked up an arrow and threw it at Ace!

No one expected the monkey to suddenly attack, the monkey was so powerful that the arrow almost instantly pierced Ise's left shoulder, and Ise fell to the ground screaming, seeing blood pouring from the wound.

Elena quickly took out a clean piece of clothing from her bag and bandaged the wound, and Felder and the others gathered on both sides to prevent the monkeys from attacking again.

"It's good that the wound is not deep, Eth, bear with it, I'll pull out the arrow now. Elena said and began to pull out the arrow. Ise gritted her teeth, bean-sized droplets of sweat oozing from her forehead. As a light mage, Vane had no choice but to use his half-hung healing technique to heal Ise.

This kind of monkey is called a long-tailed monkey, and it is recorded in the "Wizarding World Experience", the thick long tail can make it hang firmly on the branches, and the body hangs down and steals or robs the belongings of pedestrians with thick and powerful arms, so it gets a nickname called the long-tailed thief, which is distributed in many forests.

The long-tailed monkey was still dangling from a branch, an arrow in his hand and screaming at them. Vane quietly pulled some spider silk and brimstone out of his backpack with his left hand, and began to whisper a lightning arrow spell in his mouth.

The Lightning Bolt is a primary light magic spell that is not as destructive as Fireball, but it is fast and more effective against agile beasts. Vane quickly aimed his staff at the long-tailed monkey, and a lightning bolt had formed at the tip of the staff, which had broken through the air in an instant.

To Vane's surprise, the long-tailed monkey seemed to have expected Vane to cast magic, and he curled his tail up slightly in a step ahead of him, dodging the lightning arrow.

Vane was about to cast his spell again, but the long-tailed monkey screamed loudly, and soon strange screams rang out all around. Vane chuckled in his heart, I'm afraid this is trouble.

Eisna had recovered a little, and Elena helped her to her feet, and the crowd gathered in a circle, watching warily at the monkeys in the trees around them. Strange cries came and went, and it seemed that at least dozens of long-tailed monkeys had gathered around.

"We're just going to keep going, there are so many of these strange monkeys, we don't know what will happen if we stay any longer. Again, Felder led the way ahead, and I helped Ace along, with Vane and Simpson behind. Elena said.

The group continued to walk forward, but the monkeys were like a frying pan, and the leaves around them rattled.

"Bang!" Vane felt a sudden pain in his head, and a green fruit the size of a pigeon's egg bounced twice on the ground in front of him and stopped.

"Simpson, hug Ace, everyone get ready to run!" Elena said in a low voice.

Before the words fell, all kinds of fruits crackled like raindrops and hit a few people.
