"Do we really have to be so serious? ...... in the middle of the night."

"If you have any questions, go to Teresa and tell them, or you can do your job."

“…… You think I don't dare to say it? The last time we were asked to come over to guard the valley, I had already made my own suggestion to them......"

"Are you sure that's your advice? No kidding, if you really don't want to come here, you should at least suggest going to Windflower instead of some food and magic crystal supplements......"

In the cold wind, where the sound of creaking snow was constantly resounding, several figures haunting the valley gradually broke through the cover of the trees, and then slowly passed through this seemingly inaccessible place with occasional complaints and discussions. As the distance approached, the voices of the two men in black who walked in front became clearer and clearer, and then while crossing a certain line, they suddenly stopped their words at the same time: "......"

“…… Did you hear something? ”

"Did you hear that, too?"

"Looks like it's over there......"

Whoop -

As the two people who stopped gradually raised their eyes, a few pieces of gravel suddenly fell from a place on the cliff on the edge of the valley, and the sight of white shards mixed with snow and ice falling in a row, immediately attracted everyone's attention: "...... You two, go up and have a look. ”

The surrounding air seemed to freeze for a moment as the wind and snow stopped, and then flowed again with the figures of the other two black-clothed men who nodded out at the back of the team, Duan Qing, who was squatting in the snow in the distance, retracted his gaze, and at the same time withdrew the two small stones pinched between his fingers into his palm: "This trick finally works...... Is Vaal gone? ”

"He's gone." The Thousand-Fingered Crane who was following him replied very quietly, while trying his best to hide his long fiery red hair with his pulled hood: "Those villagers in Greenstone Village should be notified soon......

"What if you get the news? There was nowhere to hide in that place. Duan Qing frowned and pursed his lips: "What if these people really walked in front of us...... Their discovery will surely become inevitable. ”

"What then?" Thousand-fingered Crane said in an anxious voice, "They, they're coming over soon......"

"What else can I do?"

Lowering his voice and reading this sentence, Duan Qing, who was squatting in the grass, slowly took two steps forward, and then walked around the back of another low tree in the inconspicuous sound of snow shaking: "If you are found now......

"Aren't all the promises made before null and void?"

A reflection suddenly flashed in the dark night mixed with wind and snow, and quickly dissipated with the two arms that suddenly stretched out behind the trees, and a man in black who had just passed by the tree was then caught by the arms and dragged defenselessly to the back of the bushes. The sound of abnormal movement in an instant also attracted the attention of the other two people in the team, but they just turned their heads and glanced at it, and Duan Qing, who dragged the man in black to hide behind the tree, skillfully twisted to the right, screwing the magician's frightened face behind his back: "Okay, the first ......"

"So they're all so blind?" Xiao Hongchen, who was hiding on the other side, opened his mouth in surprise, and then rolled his arms and got up: "Ha, it's so simple!" Several people here have been handed over to me, and I am the most ...... of this kind of work Ouch! ”

"Shut up for me."

Dodging the alert gaze of several other black-clothed people shooting not far away, the short Mengzhu stretched out his hand and pressed the other party's head: "This is not the real world, and the perception of NPCs is very strong!" ”

"Crossbow Boom Crying ......" Xiao Hongchen, who was crushed in the snow, struggled for a long time before he wheezed and rolled out of the other party's clutches: "You...... You let go of me! Can't you be a little gentle with me, Captain? ”

"Shh——!h He was answered by a long boo and a warning from the little girl's eyes: "Stay here honestly!" The next battle ......"

"There will be a time for you to appear!"

Whew-

The sound of breaking through the sky once again appeared in the scene of the Snowy Night Valley, and the Restorationist patrol that had been searching for it from nowhere finally stopped their steps, and the eyes that had been paying attention to their heads also fell around them with the strange things that appeared in the vicinity one after another. The snowflakes that kept blowing did not seem to change in any way because of their inspection, and still slowly fell in front and back of this narrow valley, until the unchanged silence dissipated for a while, and one of the two black-clothed men standing in the front slowly raised his hand: "All obey the order......

"Disperse the formation and be on guard in place." His eyes roamed around: "Terry, Mel...... The two of you go up there and have a look. ”

"Yes."

The two black-clothed men responded to the upward movement of the wind and snow in two straight lines, and slowly disappeared into the cold night sky, while the rest of the people also dispersed towards the valley in turn with their respective movements, vigilantly watching every corner of the snow bushes, and the gradually spreading warning range then compressed Duan Qing and the others hidden in it to a farther place, so that the hidden points found by the already scattered left and right became less and less, and Duan Qing, who was half-hidden behind him, hesitated slightly for a while, In the end, I finally slipped behind a rock behind me through the gap: "Disperse the formation......"

"What should I do, Brother Aoyama?" The Thousand Finger Crane, who also ran to the side, asked anxiously, "If we continue to disperse like this, we will almost have nowhere to hide!" ”

"Don't worry, they won't find us."

The body was tightly attached to the back of the stone, but Duan Qing's raised head gradually showed a strange smile: "Most of the restorers are a group of magicians, their formation has its own fixed form, I have been observing it for a long time when I infiltrated Fenghua Town before......"

"He, won't they come?"

"The one standing on the outermost side will only go as far as the tree is."

Pointing to the position where he was hiding just now, Duan Qing compared his hands: "With the person who gave the order just now, they will spread out a square dot matrix like this, but after removing the two eyeliners responsible for sentry, as well as the guy I killed just now, there should be some gaps in this formation that cannot be ignored...... Not. ”

"I see." Looking at the two guys who were slowly moving towards the two leaders, Duan Qing, who lowered his head, let out an inexplicable laugh: "It seems that they have also discovered the existence of the gap and have begun to pay attention to our direction......"

"I, should we change places?" Holding her staff in both hands, the red-haired girl hiding behind the rocks cowered like a frightened bird: "If there is a fight in this place, the people of that village ......"

"You must fight, didn't I already say it just now?" Duan Qing shook his head helplessly: "The problem is our tactics...... In order not to attract more pursuers, we had better kill them one by one......"

"Dark, assassination?" Thousand-Fingered Crane's voice became more and more trembling: "I, I've never done such a task! And I'm also a fire mage...... Me, am I going to find a place to hide first? ”

"Don't be so inferior, you're strong enough now."

Turning his head and staring at the girl's shrunken face for a while, Duan Qing smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, you will follow me, as long as you have your help......"

"I'm going to make them understand their decision to disperse the formation...... What a wrong decision. ”

The crescendo wind blew again in the narrow valley, rolling up the snow piled up on top of the bushes nearby, and the few men in black who surrounded them in a strange pattern also stood silently in place, as if they had become as immobile as the surrounding mountain walls. In the sky above this area, the other two floating magicians scanned the surroundings of the valley with sharp eyes, and the faint humming sound also swayed back and forth along every seemingly invisible place with the light that gradually grew in the eyes of the two people: "...... We've opened the Eyes of Truth, and you can't escape! ”

Syllable.

With another crisp sound of stone crashing, several stones mixed with broken snow rolled down from the top of the other side of the valley, but the magician who had been silent all this time let out a sneer, and quickly turned to the direction where the rock that Duan Qing was hiding was: "Hmph, this same trick ......"

"How could you succeed again!"

Rumble!

The dark orb of energy rang out on the surface of the rock with his shout, blasting everything out of the surrounding land, but there was no sign of anything like a living creature in the fragments scattered around, let alone a figure that resembled an ambusher. Several black-clothed people around also followed the magician's move, and turned in unison in the direction where the magic flew, but a slender figure suddenly appeared behind their sight, sticking to a black-clothed person near the very edge: "Please ......"

"Rest in peace."

Poof.

The small voice that sounded in the wind and snow was faint, but it still attracted the attention of several enemies, including the magician who led the team, and the sudden action of turning back quickly led to the result that the other person had already been poisoned: "...... Who is it? ”

"Get out of here!"

A rumbling sound rang out one after another, blasting the body she had left behind into the sky with the Whisper Ning Lan then disappearing, and the magical bombardment from the Restorationist Search Party landed under the cliff near the inner side of the valley with the anger of the leader. The rest of the black-clothed men standing on the periphery of the formation also raised their staffs nervously and aimed them at their respective positions, while the other leader not far from the angry captain frowned slightly, and then reminded his colleagues loudly: "Don't get angry, it's useless to scare them away, since we've determined that there are people here, shouldn't we send a signal......

Zheng!

The harsh sound of metal grinding suddenly sounded behind the angry captain, and at the same time appeared a blonde girl in the same leather armor struck like lightning, but the swift sword light slammed into a glass wall of crystal ice with the appearance of a certain magical light. The violent impact then flew in all directions, blowing the black hood on Mengzhu's head to the side, and the leader who looked back at her also put away the angry look he had pretended before, and replaced it with a strange smile after the conspiracy succeeded: "Finally the tail is revealed, little ones......"

"Oh no......"

Hmmm-

The invisible sword qi then pierced the air at the bottom of the canyon, completely separating the two figures that were attached together, and the eyes of Mengzhu, who was retreating backwards, were first reflected by Duan Qing's sudden stabbing figure, and then pushed into the distance by the wind brought by the sword qi: "Great, uncle!" ”

"I'll talk about apologies later."

In the sound of the earthen wall that suddenly rose, Duan Qing, who once again separated himself from the other party, said loudly without looking back, the yellow barrier that belonged to the primary magic could not withstand the test from the restorer, and the next moment it was blasted into a golden light by the other party's magic, and all kinds of brilliance like an aurora then crossed over Duan Qing's location, and then hit the cliff wall behind him in the empty result, and the two magicians who took the lead were gloomy together. The voice belonging to Duan Qing echoed ethereally around the valley along with the exploding snow: "As for you ......?"

"We've got the details out of you."

Amid the sound of the wind and snow that was still blowing, a magician who had been floating in the air before suddenly fell like a kite with a broken string: "A team of eight people, but there are three melee professions mixed in it...... Why, are you Restorationists so understaffed now? ”

“…… Who are you? ”

A man in black close to the left side of the team once again fell to the spot with an abrupt muffled snort, so that the rest of the men in black present finally felt a hint of crisis, they glanced at each other, and finally chose to shrink the formation of the team together: "How do you know?" ”

“…… I'll count to five, and you'll have the option to disarm and surrender. Duan Qing, who didn't pay attention to the other party, still raised his voice into the wind and snow: "Otherwise...... You will no longer have a way out. ”

"One."

The gloom in his eyes seemed to be about to drip water, and the black-clothed magician who led the team gritted his teeth, and finally motioned to the colleague beside him, asking him to take out the magic signal device in his arms.

“…… Two. ”

"Wait a minute, we don't mean it." Glancing at the people around him, the leader who was surrounded in the middle shouted, "You're adventurers, aren't you?" We have no intention of creating a conflict with you, and we can provide you with two things if you are willing to let us go...... No, three pieces of equipment. ”

“…… Three. ”

"You ......"

Bursts of sword light suddenly appeared around the snow, attacking the remaining black-clad men together, and at the same time blocking the words that the leader had yet to speak, along with the howl in the sky.
