"There's one more, don't let him run!"

The fire spreads in the Hall of Trees, but the Electors quickly react that it is more important to leave the culprit behind than to put out the fire.

The elemental envoy was fleeing through the smoke to the kitchen, where there was a window that opened into the forest outside, which was their planned escape route, when he heard a shout coming from behind him: "He's here!" ”

He looked back and saw several Electors slamming open the door and rushing in. The elemental made his heart burst into rage, "These bastards who get in the way! "If it weren't for these meddling guys, they would have retreated by now after completing their mission.

He turned and raised the staff in his hand and slammed it the ground, and when the end of the staff hit the wooden floor, bright flames rose up, and several fiery snakes spread in all directions centered there.

"Be careful, Ring of Fire!" Among the Electors who rushed in was knowledgeable, screaming and pulling his companions back. But it took some luck for their level to dodge the spell, and the unlucky one tripped over a barrel as it retreated, and the barrel rolled to the ground with it, spilling the mushrooms inside.

The fiery serpent spread up the man's trouser leg, turning it into a walking flame in his screams, grease crackling in the heat, and the smell of burnt flesh filled the air. The rest of the people were pale and almost disgusted. Soon only the skeleton of the human form in the flames remained, and the skeleton turned into ashes.

The fire was spreading on the walls, scorching the wooden cabinets and ceilings, and the entire kitchen was engulfed in flames in an instant. The elemental envoy stood in the middle of the fire, unruly raising the staff in his hand—he knew he couldn't escape, and he was going to fight to the death before he died.

But it was at this time that the neat and orderly incantation in his mind suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

The elemental envoy was slightly stunned, and suddenly thought of something, and his face turned pale. And this stunned moment had made him unable to maintain his composure, and the sevenfold magic circle composed of spells in his mind collapsed suddenly, and all the spells wandered away from his thoughts like disorderly chaos, and the spells that were familiar in the past seemed strange and alienated at this moment.

"No!" His eyes widened and he shouted, "Remember me!" ”

But to no avail, most of the fire in the entire kitchen disappeared at once, and the magical flame was withdrawn from its manifest form and turned back into a free elemental state. The primordial aether surged back towards the center of the collapse point like a landslide.

But just as the force was about to turn the elemental into powder, it was as if an invisible hand had intercepted them and changed their form, allowing them to capture the rising water vapor, which then condensed into droplets and fell from mid-air.

A light rain poured down in the kitchen, extinguishing the remaining flames. Just as the elemental stunned, several Chosen Ones swarmed him and pinned him to the ground:

"We've got him!"

The hot floor made his face rattle, and he rolled his eyes and screamed, but no one cared about his feelings.

……

The man withdrew his gaze from the distant firelight and stared coldly at the edge of the forest, where a ranger raised his hand in the darkness outside the window and gestured to him in a normal gesture. He turned around, crossed his hands and looked at the tall man in front of him, and then spoke:

"Mr. Commander, how long do you have to think about it. The order was sent by your guild, you should have confirmed it, right? ”

The leader of the Holy White Stone Guild raised his head from the light page projected in front of him and looked at the other party: "What are you going to do in that place at this time?" ”

"Our mission is destined for that place."

"But you could have done it in a more peaceful way, and as you can see, the Treants have no ill will towards us. Arritic the Heart of the Tree, if you ask, will meet you. ”

"The Heart of the Tree is still asleep, and we don't have time for it to wake up. And let's be honest," the man shrugged, "I don't think those people can hold off the monsters out there, and if they break into this place, our mission will fail." ”

"But you have to admit that they did a pretty good job before, repelling three attacks by Crystal, and the last two casualties were not large." The leader of the Holy White Stone Guild said, "Right now, Orca's reinforcements have arrived, just waiting for the people from the other guilds to arrive at the forward camp, I don't know why you think so?" ”

"So you call it a crystal, but it doesn't matter, do you think that the strength of that thing is limited to this, it's just a temptation," the man shook his head, "If Orca's people haven't arrived yet, maybe I'm not in such a hurry." But the arrival of reinforcements may have given it a signal that if it went all out, the place would be ruined. ”

The leader of the Holy White Stone Guild was slightly silent, they had only recently obtained the same information from another very important information source, which made him have to think carefully for a moment, and hesitated:

"I'll have to ask the guild."

The man looked at him, stretched out his hand, and said, "Please." ”

The head of the Holy White Stone Guild took his deputy to the side, took out the communication crystal, and when the sound of connection came from the other end of the crystal, he immediately asked in a low voice, "President, what's the matter with that order?" ”

"Lao He, isn't it very clear on the news that you will help the people of the Twilight Guild complete the task."

"I understand, but President, the current situation is not optimistic. Why not wait for reinforcements to arrive before completing this mission? ”

"This is what the people of the Twilight Guild have requested."

"But then our people could be in danger."

"Lao He, I understand what you mean," the president's voice looked a little optimistic, "but don't worry, the guild will compensate you - think about it, what are we here for?" It's nothing more than to collect more and more valuable high-dimensional information, and if necessary, the loss of Starlight is also an acceptable price, you should understand this? ”

The leader of the Holy White Stone Guild suddenly understood something: "What price did the people of the Twilight Guild offer, and it was worth us to do this?" ”

"Many, including, but not limited to, transferring their share of the mine to us entirely."

The former couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when he heard this: "What kind of task are they doing, and it's worth their efforts?" ”

"That's none of our business."

"But if those monsters out there come in...... Aren't the people of the Twilight Guild playing some tricks......"

"Don't worry, even if those monsters occupy the mining area for a while, we can clean them up, and our few guilds can't even do this little thing together?"

"But in that case, this matter will be in an uproar."

"Even if the king is taxed, the income below this mining area is also a sure profit for us, and no one knows better than us what the crystal reserves below the mining area are in the past few months."

The head of the regiment was silent for a moment before nodding his head, indicating that he understood. He closed the communication crystal, walked back to the other party, and said, "Okay, let's talk about how we can work together?" ”

The man smiled, looked to the side and said, "Before we talk about this, do you want to invite the young lady outside the door to come in?" ”

The head of the Holy White Stone Guild was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but look in that direction, the door was pushed open, and there was an expressionless Miss Nightingale standing outside the door—Alice looked at the two calmly, and said in a plain tone: "Leader, there seems to be a fire in the hall of the tree." ”

"Leave that one at that," the head of the regiment shook his head, "You've come just in time, Rainbow, and I just have something to inform you." ”

"I heard it outside," Alice's tone showed no emotion, "do you want me to inform the others?" ”

The former paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's okay, you let everyone gather, we may have action later." ”

Alice nodded. She glanced at the man, who was also looking at her, with a hint of amusement in his eyes. But Alice was indifferent, just closed the door and walked out.

"That's our Nightingale Captain." The leader of the Holy White Stone Guild explained to the other party.

The man nodded, but with a thought, he had already edited a message and sent it out:

"Follow that nightingale and have a look."

……

Alice walked down the treehouse and paused for a moment at the door, remembering what had happened before:

“…… The heart of the mountain that the tree man refers to is actually a pure crystal, a central stone buried deep in the mountains, and if it misses anything, the entire Nognes region will probably become a forbidden area for life. ”

The reflection of time paused, "I was with Captain Ed and them, and the Treants mistakenly thought I was with them, so they happened to hear these things. Captain Ed has saved my life, and I shouldn't have revealed this to the outside world, but Miss Rainbow, do you know Leader Ed......"

"Don't worry, I'm just looking at you with them and asking how they're doing," Alice looked at each other, "but I don't want my personal affairs to affect the team, they are them, we are us, and I don't need to tell the head of the group about this." ”

"I understand, but in fact, Captain Ed is also a good person,"

"Those are two different things."

"Alright," Time Reflection nodded, but stopped her, "Wait, that's right...... Please tell the leader, don't trust those people in the Twilight Guild too much, what kind of alliance guild are they? Even our people will not be saved. ”

She nodded.

Alice's gaze quickly returned to reality, and she looked back in one direction—there was a twilight ranger hiding at the edge of the forest, and she could feel the other's gaze looking in her own direction.

Without a trace, she withdrew her gaze, turned away, and walked in the direction of the camp. In her perception, the other party really followed, she knew that the other party should see herself more clearly, and the people of twilight were much higher than them.

So she cautiously walked through the camp and sent a message to everyone one by one, asking them to assemble in a nearby clearing, where there might be an important task later. As she passed a tree, a shadow stretched out from Alice's feet and merged into the trunk.

Unlike her sister, who specializes in shadow dance, she is more adept at the other direction - the Eye of the Woods, the Night Stalker. That shadow is the Night Stalker's skill, Shadow Perception, and a high-level Night Stalker can leave up to dozens of shadow imprints within a few kilometers. But of course, she couldn't control such a large area, but it was more than enough to leave a mark or two without the gods knowing.

The forest was located at the intersection of light and dark, and she was sure that the other party would not notice her small movements.

After passing through the last of the camp area, Alice finally sensed the departure of the Twilight Guild Ranger through the shadow mark she had left behind. It felt like she was standing in the shadow sigil by herself, watching the other person probe from a distance before turning away.

She also turned to look at the longing figure in the woods, which was the others who were on their way to the rendezvous. But she took a step back, left the avenue, and stepped in the opposite direction to the others, like a shadow, into the gloomy woodland.

It's just that in a direction that Alice didn't notice, a dark light was flashing.

In the middle of the woodland, a man in a gray alchemist's robe raised his head to stare at the sky, watching the shadows fly back in that direction. He raised his hand and caught it, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a meaningful light.

He put away the clockwork elf, then wrote a message in the void, and with a touch of his hand, sent it out.

……

Fang Yu looked at the elemental envoy who was tied up by the five flowers, a piece of skin and flesh was burned off the other party's face, revealing the bloody muscles and connective tissue underneath, one loose eyeball was shaking in his head, and the remaining eye was also looking at him weakly.

Kita couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and couldn't help but close her eyes and lower her head, but as soon as she looked down, the huge round glasses slipped off the bridge of her nose again, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly used her hands to support them again.

Red couldn't help but shake his head at this scene, and reached out behind his paw to hook the hood of her scholar's robe, turning it over and pulling it down, covering the latter's eyes tightly, revealing only half of his chin on the outside.

"In the future, there will be fewer pictures that are not suitable for children, let Jita and Sky Blue watch a little bit." The big cat man said angrily.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Fang Yu grabbed his hair, but he didn't expect this stubble. To be honest, he himself was taken aback, and these people were a little too rough to press people to the charred floor.

But to some extent, this is also self-inflicted, and when he turned others into charcoal, he never thought that he would suffer the same hardship. Even if it can be resurrected, it must be uncomfortable, and it may leave a psychological shadow.

This is one of the reasons why the Elect need psychological counseling to return to the original world.

Fang Yu looked up at the charred kitchen again, the walls and cabinets were charred black, the fog was steaming all around, and there was a thin layer of water on the floor.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and after studying with Mr. Karatu, Kita's mastery of the elements and spells had become more and more perfect. In an instant, borrow the opponent's spell, turn it into your own spell, find out the opposite attribute from the extreme fire environment, and turn the danger into a disaster between backhands.

With this operation, the general has already touched the edge of a little upper realm, and it is enough to put it between the ranks of the mage and the elemental envoy. Of course, this is based on the advantages of naturalists and the magic book itself, but Kita also has a lot of room to grow compared to others.

She was only fourteen years old, two months and fifteen days away.

Others are debating the identity of the attacker.

"This guy can't be a spy, right?"

"They've definitely taken refuge with those monsters."

"Gotta interrogate him, he must still have allies."

The elemental envoy was dying, but at this moment it seemed that he had finally regained some strength, and he looked at the people around him weakly, and suddenly said in a hoarse voice: "Give me a good time, you know that I will not speak." And you can't torture me...... This is a violation of the Stargate Declaration. ”

Everyone was furious: "You still know the Stargate Declaration!? ”

But the elemental made him sneer weakly and didn't continue.

The crowd was also a little powerless. Regardless of which side the other party serves, but its behavior does not seem to be a violation of the "Stargate Declaration", they are here to help the tree people, and the other party can naturally choose to help those monsters outside, at best, it can only be said that the camp is different.

However, Fang Yu retracted his gaze and looked at this elemental envoy, and faintly felt that it was not so simple in his heart. He knew some things better than the others, so he naturally knew the deep-seated reasons for this dispute, of course, these people could also be bewitched by the crystal, but he had to figure out their origin first.

Theoretically, the guilds in this area have formed an alliance for this crystal mine, and they will not fight each other under the common interest.

He turned back to the others and asked, "Does anyone know what guild this person is?" ”

Because of the previous battle, everyone still had a minimum of respect for him, and they all shook their heads.

Free Electors? But not necessarily, the free electors generally don't have such courage, and Fang Yu unconsciously ignored himself. Although no one here can recognize the person's origin, it does not necessarily mean that the person is not a member of a guild.

He didn't look at the actions of the other three before, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like a temporary combination of Electors, even if it was a free adventure group, there were some subtle differences between its members and the Electors in the guild.

Fang Yu looked at the other party, and then said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you open your mouth or not. ”

The other party was slightly stunned.

"We can't torture you, but we can imprison you—according to the Stargate Declaration, we can capture members of the enemy until the end of the war. We will hand you over to the treants, and you know that the elves have some way of reading your superficial thoughts. This is also enough for people who are not professionally trained. ”

"That's right," the people around them became excited, "I was almost fooled by you kid, but fortunately the big guy has a way." ”

The element made a big change in the face.

But it was at this moment that Red suddenly took a step forward, drew his sword from behind him, and stopped in front of the elemental. But he was still half a step slower, only to hear a loud bang, and a sharp arrow pierced through the wall and hit the other party's heart.

The big catman's face changed, and he turned and pressed his paw on the elemental's chest, but a little white light had already emerged from the latter's body.

"It's a piercing shot, there's a ranger outside," he stood up and looked at the others, his beard all open, and his voice was solemn: "Everyone stay in the inn and don't move, there are still their people inside, Tsuirye, you help watch the others." ”

The psalmist knew that the stakes were high, and reliably gestured to them that was okay.

In fact, they had expected that the other party would have a backhand, but they didn't expect that the attack would not come from inside the hotel, but from the outside, and they were negligent for a while, allowing the other party to get their hands on it. After saying this, the Lion Paladin chased after him with an arrow, and it climbed out of the window, just in time to see a shadow flash in the forest in the distance.

Fang Yu and Ji Ta also chased out from the direction of the main entrance.

"Mr. Red, how's it going?"

"Let him run," said the big cat man, twisting the brass ring on his beard, squinting in that direction, "but I remember his scent, the wind will tell us where he is, and the guy won't go far." ”

It's just that before he finished speaking, Fang Yu and Ji Ta suddenly froze,

All three of them heard a faint, almost imperceptible tremor in the distance, a very small but distinctly audible sound, an extremely contradictory feeling that gave people a strange feeling.

It is as if an invisible ripple is running through this underground cavern from another level of the world. Among the three, Miss Naturalist was the most perceptive, and couldn't help but stretch out her hands to hold her ears, and her glasses were also knocked to the ground with a 'click' of her hands.

But Kita didn't realize it, and only frowned in pain. Fang Yu noticed the other party's expression at this time, grabbed her shoulder, and asked, "Kita, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Elemental ......," Kita muttered in a daze.

There was a buzz, a beep pierced the ear drums, and everyone was having auditory hallucinations as if their ears were filled with water.

Fang Yu felt as if the whole world had been turned upside down, and the next moment, the brilliant ball of light on the top of the cave flickered and suddenly went out. The surroundings fell into darkness, and all the strange illusions that had existed before suddenly disappeared completely, and the surroundings returned to silence.

In a moment, he heard a commotion coming from the hall of the trees behind him, the noise of human voices, the sound of broken vessels, and the sound of strife.

Then Fang Yu felt a big furry paw grab him, he knew that it was a big cat man, and he couldn't help but be sure. The voice of the lion paladin also came from the darkness: "Ed, are you alright?" ”

"I'm alright, where's Kita?"

"I—I'm fine, Brother Ed......"

"What's going on?" Fang Yu asked.

"I don't know, what's the matter with that light," the big cat asked in a loud voice, "I remember that even in the middle of the night, it won't be completely extinguished." ”

Fang Yu faintly felt in his heart that something might have happened, and it was at this time that a red light lit up in the darkness. It was his communication crystal - Fang Yu hurriedly took out the crystal and wiped it lightly with his hand, and Sylvid's voice came from inside: "Ed, how is you doing over there?" ”

Hearing the gentle voice of the ship's officer, Fang Yu felt that his heart was settled, and he took a breath before calming down: "It's okay on our side, but the light suddenly went out, what about your side?" ”

"It's okay on our side," Sylvid said in a calm voice, "just received a message that the scouts on the periphery had spotted an army of crystals, and they were making their way through the rift outside the valley. ”

"Crystal attacked?" Fang Yu frowned. The Crystal's attack came much earlier than they expected, and the Hall of Trees was attacked, and now the light of the Heart of the Mountain was extinguished, and all kinds of accidents followed, always giving him a bad premonition.

"It's not necessarily a general attack, but it's very likely, and now the various teams are urgently going to the Thorn Front to organize a defense, and they also know that this attack can be difficult, and they have already warned us," she paused, "Captain, what about us?" ”

Everything collided together, and the most important thing at the moment is, of course, to defend against the last wave of Crystal's attack, otherwise everything will be over. But Fang Yu had a faint premonition in his heart, feeling that things on his side were not simple.

He pondered for a moment, and finally decided, "You go to the Thorn Front first to join the others." ”

"Okay," Sylvid replied, "Ed, be careful. ”

"The same goes for you."

Fang Yu put back the crystal before asking the big cat man on the side, "Mr. Red, can you still find that person?" ”

The latter nodded slightly,

"Come with me."

……

Alice didn't expect to be discovered.

Luckily, she was cautious enough to leave a shadow mark along the way, and this action saved her life, otherwise she would not have noticed the nightingale and ranger of the twilight guild who followed her.

If it was okay to be a ranger alone, she could still use her speed advantage to get rid of the other party, but the nightingale in the twilight was too deadly for her, the other party was higher in rank than her and more experienced than her.

can only say that it is fortunate that she is not a full-time nightingale in the direction of shadow dance, otherwise the other party would have killed her a long time ago.

But even so, the bloody wound on her right shoulder was left by the other party - it was a memento from the other party's first raid. And that time it was all thanks to her shadow mark to find the opponent in advance - otherwise the wound should not have been on the shoulder, but more to the left twenty centimeters, cutting into her throat.

Alice escaped from the grappling with a shadow technique, but the shadow dancer could only walk a hundred and twenty feet in a day, and she had already used half the distance before, and there was only one chance left.

The wound was oozing blood, which was doubly bad news for her – the loss of blood would take away her strength and attract enemies. Although the light had been extinguished and the surroundings had gone dark, the darkness itself was not an obstacle for the keen nightingales, who could track down enemies within a certain range by virtue of their scent.

This is different from the natural sensitive sense of smell in felines and canines, where the nightingale's ability to trace comes from acquired training, and the higher the level, the stronger the ability to find the nighting. And her opponent is not low-level.

But she didn't have time to stop to treat the wound, so she could only take out the bandage, bite one end with her teeth, and hastily bandage it back and forth with her uninjured hand. Although the bleeding can only be stopped temporarily, it can only be taken one step at a time.

But what made her even more nervous was the loss of direction - she remembered the direction of the Hall of Trees before the light went out, and she knew that Ed and they were there. But the ranger on the other side with a better sense of direction kept forcing her to change course, and after groping in the dark for a while, Alice didn't know if her intuition was still reliable.

She even had a faint feeling that there was another eye watching her in the darkness.

She's been through such a scenario.

She even remembered the feeling of powerlessness at that time—

Alice later learned who the person opposite her was at the time, and the military told him that the man was Kaka, a newcomer to the Jeffrey Redcoats...... A newcomer will make their brigade of the rainers anxious.

However, the Jeffrey Redcoats can be regarded as BBK's first-line reserve guild, and I heard that BBK has the strength to hit the top ten this year, and it will fall to the altar of either the crown of the silver forest or another alliance of gods ranked ninth.

However, Alice suddenly realized how she could be distracted at this time, and being too nervous seemed to make her a little confused. She shook her head vigorously, trying to pull herself out of the embarrassment.

But it was at this moment that a creepy feeling suddenly rose from her heart.

Without thinking about it, she swooped forward, and a scream was heard in the darkness, and an arrow swept over her head, carrying a few strands of hair. The feather arrow struck the trunk behind it with a muffled thud, and the tail feathers shook themselves under the tremendous force.

Alice didn't have time to look over there, though.

She knew that she was far from out of danger, and in that moment she had already determined what she had in mind—there were combat craftsmen, and she understood at once how she had been exposed. But her shadow sigil didn't help with the probing from mid-air, and she couldn't help but sink a little, feeling that she might not be able to go far.

And it was at this time that Alice saw a snowy sword light, which lit up in her field of vision.

The blade moved forward, as if cutting into an illusory shadow, and the nightingale girl turned into a cloud of smoke and melted into the dark environment—the shadow technique, which was the second time she had used such an ability.

If she can't escape the pursuit of the other party, then she will have to close her eyes and wait for death.

The other party was obviously a little annoyed, and let out a low curse from a distance: "Annoying shadow dancer." The other party obviously didn't grasp her position for a while, and shouted into the forest: "Don't run, you can't escape, why waste everyone's time?" ”

Alice sat behind a large gray-white tree, and she didn't dare to take an extra breath.

……

Fang Yu and the big cat man stopped, and the two looked at the gurgling river in front of them, and couldn't help but look at each other for a while. The person they chase is quite experienced, and the ability to have a keen sense of smell is most afraid of flowing water, and when they chase this place, it can be regarded as a broken clue.

The two couldn't help but look at the scholar who was following behind, who had lost her glasses and had to fumble in the dark to keep up with them. But the big cat man asked her if she wanted help, but Kita shook her head, and she really relied on her own ability to catch up.

"I can find a way to find footprints with magic," Kita squinted at the river in the darkness and replied softly, "But if he follows the river, I can't do anything about it, magic only strengthens our abilities, and it can't create things that don't exist out of thin air." ”

"It's not that I can't," she paused, and the man added earnestly, "but I can't do it yet." ”

"Then let's try it," Red replied, looking across the river, "If we really can't help it, we'll go back and meet the others first, there should be clues over there at the inn, if Tsui Ye can see those people." ”

Although the three of them understood that the moment the light went out, most of the other party had fled.

But it was at this time that Fang Yu suddenly raised a finger and made a silent gesture to the two of them in the dark.

He stood by the river, tilted his head in one direction, and heard a faint voice in the forest on the other side. The voice was not loud, and was even drowned out by the sound of the rushing river, but after the three of them calmed down, they still heard the content clearly:

"Don't run...... You ...... too. Why waste time? ”

Fang Yu didn't say a word, and directly released three clockwork goblins and flew in that direction.

He raised his right hand and watched as three heavy silver rays of light flew across the river and into the forest over there.
