After Fang woke up, he found that they had escaped the pursuit of the other party. It was quiet all around, deep in the woods, and he looked up at the pitch-black rock tops with the bridge of his stinging nose, and there were no stars in the underworld, but many plants that were shining with stars.

According to the big cat man, he passed out not long after, at best for about ten minutes. The other party didn't chase after losing a few spells, perhaps because he thought that he couldn't do such a move for a little monster, or because he was afraid that someone would turn the tiger away from the mountain. After the big cat man, Alice, and Kitta left the place with him unconscious, they found a hidden hiding place, a shrub-lined woodland directly below the ridge, not too far from the entrance to the valley where the heart of the tree was.

He tilted his head up, because he was afraid that if he lowered his head, his nosebleeds would come out, and more importantly, his nose was sour and couldn't stop crying, as if crying his nose, which made him feel very ashamed. The big cat man handed over a bottle of healing potion and asked, "Are you feeling better?" ”

Fang Weng replied angrily and nodded.

He looked at the little guy who was looking at his furry little feet with his head down not far away, and Red also looked over and asked, "Hey, little one, why are you here?" ”

The little fellow blinked his dark eyes and said, "Lord Moon Arrit is asleep, and no one cares about Gollum, who is cold and afraid." Then a lot of people came, and a lot of people wanted to kill Gollum, and Gollum ran away, and Gollum came here. You still have to coo, and cooing is terrified. ”

"We didn't beat you up, you don't have to worry." The lionman replied.

"Really, Gollum?"

"Of course it's true, I'm a paladin, when have you ever seen a paladin lie?" Red was half joking, half serious.

I don't know if the little guy understood, but it looked like it was obviously a lot more relaxed.

Alice was looking at her clothes in disgust, grabbing her collar and sleeves and sniffing them, and she rolled her eyes and almost gaged when she smelled of the sewer gutter. Especially this iguana leather armor is the equipment she has only changed for a short time, and seeing that it can't be used, she doesn't know whether to be disgusting or sad for a while.

"I hate dwarfs."

Alice said to Kita on the side.

Kita looked at the nightingale with deep sympathy.

"Gollum," the big cat man continued, "those people have gone to find you, Lord Moonjarit, they may covet Lord Moonjarit's treasures, and they are all the most vicious and unsympathetic robbers in the world, and as Lord Moonjarit's most faithful servant, you have escaped alone at this time." ”

The little elf rubbed his hands uneasily, looked at them quietly, and muttered, "Gollum didn't run away, but Lord Moon Arrit was asleep, and Gollum was no match for those people." Gollum walked away first, Gollum went to move the rescuers, yes, Gollum went to find the trees to help Gollum. ”

"But the trees are all on the front line, and you won't find them here," Red said here and paused, thinking that it was a coincidence, the people of the Twilight Guild failed to create a riot in the Hall of Trees, but they didn't expect to bump into the crystal to attack, and the Grey Trees did not go to the Hall of Trees, but went to the front line of thorns.

Thinking of this, his tone changed: "But we can do you a favor, Gollum, we will help Lord Enyarit deal with the vicious robbers, but only if we can get into it, I guess you must know that there are other ways into the valley, right?" ”

He knew that these little dwarfs were good at burrowing in the ground, even better than the dwarves who lived underground all year round, and they had many secret passages in the mountains of Eldron, called 'dwarf paths', some of which were secrets that even the dwarves did not know.

Gollum rolled his eyes and said a little proudly: "Of course Gollum knows that there are several roads leading to that valley, but Gollum can't tell you, that's the secret of Gollum." One of them is the path of Gollum alone, a gift from Lord Moon Arritt to Gollum. ”

Alice was upset, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but sneer, and pulled out her dagger to look at the little guy.

Gollum screamed in fright and stepped back, then tripped over a horizontal root and fell to the ground, and an upside-down onion fell.

The big cat man stretched out his paw to hold down the dagger in her hand, shook his head, and said, "That's your secret, Gollum, we'll never ask you where you are, and you don't have to tell us." But you can take us over and let us do Mistress Moon Arrit a favor, Lord Moon Arrit trusts us, have you forgotten? ”

The little monster got up from the ground with a shudder, and hesitated.

"You don't have to worry, you just have to take us in, you don't have to meet those vicious guys. You can also ...... Well, go ahead and move the rescuers, go find the tree people. You see, and we'll help you stall for time, and Lord Moon Arrit will recognize your efforts. ”

This last sentence touched Gollum, who nodded hesitantly.

"Then we're done," the big cat man said, taking out a copper coin and handing it to the other party, "you must not break the promise you made to the rock." ”

The little goblin clutched the coin and nodded vigorously, "Rocky rock, gooh." ”

The lion man turned his head back and looked at Fang who was looking up with a silver-gray gaze, Fang secretly gave the big cat a thumbs up, he actually thought that this little dwarf might be more familiar with this place than them, but compared to it, he didn't have the other party to deal with this stupid little dwarf.

Alice reluctantly withdrew the dagger, eager to stab the little monster with her gaze two holes, and said angrily: "Mr. Red, how do I feel that you paladins are the best liars and deceived this little thing." ”

"Did I lie," Red smiled faintly, "No, we didn't care about its secrets in the first place, and when we leave this place, who will remember the secret passages here." The so-called secret is a secret in the hands of valuable people, and it is a priceless treasure, but for us it is just a way. ”

Alice pursed her lips.

"But I feel like Mr. Red is really good at dealing with them, and if I can't do it......" Kita couldn't help but say.

"I'm also very good at dealing with Parker."

The big cat people are understated.

Fang almost didn't spurt out a nosebleed when he heard this, and thought to himself, Parker, thank you.

That place is actually not far from here.

They had only walked for a few minutes to reach their destination, which was still through a dense thicket of bushes, and the secret passage of which Gollum spoke was in a rock face, where there was a crumbling fissure, and thick roots grew from under the crack, as if the crack had been opened between the rock walls.

Looking into the breach in the dark, there was a black hole inside, like a rabbit hole, but much larger. The crack is about half a person high, allowing one person to bend over, but I don't know how deep and long it is, and the claustrophobic space gives people a sense of psychological oppression.

Ordinary people really need some courage to drill such a hole, but when Gollum saw that the hole was like no one, he rubbed his hands excitedly and bent down to get in. After a while, it popped out its head like a groundhog and beckoned to them: "Here we are, this is the secret passage of Gollum, you follow a little Gollum, Gollum will take you there." ”

Alice and Kita frowned at the sight of the hole. Alice was okay, as a member of the Rainhearer Brigade, she had experienced more severe tests, and after a little hesitation, she bowed her head and followed in, she was a nightingale scout, and of course she had to take the lead.

But Kita looked at the entrance to the black hole, almost took a deep breath, and finally gritted her teeth and made up her mind, pulled up her robe with her hand, and leaned over to step inside. However, Fang walked up from behind, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Kita, you follow me, if you encounter any trouble, I will let you run, you will run." ”

Kita was slightly stunned, looked up at him, and then nodded vigorously.

The big cat man was the last to enter the rift, and he looked at the crisscrossing roots, and said, "This place is a path that has been carved out by the power of nature, and I know why the little guy said that this is a gift from Muenjarit, but fortunately it is not a road that it has dug up, otherwise I may not have been able to get in." ”

Fang nodded.

Between the two of them is a tower, with Alice in front, and after entering this cave, the space inside becomes lower and lower, and finally they can only move forward on their stomachs. Although it is said to be accommodating, it is also very cramped for big cat people, and it can even be said to be squeezed in.

He took the clockwork goblin out of his bosom, but thought for a moment and then took it back, the night vision module worked in a low-light environment, but not a lightless environment, it was not easy to use in a completely dark environment here, and it could not penetrate the magical darkness.

Combat craftsmen are not omnipotent after all.

……

The people of the Holy White Stone Guild were discussing in whispers.

Time reflected on the charred tree people not far away, the tall charred branches stood bare on the ground, about seven or eight of them, the fog was thick in the darkness, and the air seemed to carry the smell of charcoal burning.

He frowned, he didn't want to participate in such a battle, the Grey Tree were obviously friendly to the Electors, and they had no reason to do anything to them. But this was the guild's order, not to mention that it was not his turn to make a move, he almost watched this battle, and like the previous battle, he was powerless to stop it, in fact, every time it was the people of the twilight guild who made the first move.

The whispers are getting louder and louder, and the number of people in the White Stone Guild is questioning the action, and Time Reflection is not the only one who finds it difficult to accept, and the others are also becoming more and more unbearable:

"Why would we do such a thing for the twilight people?"

"What's in it for us?"

"yes, I was going to brush up on the prestige of the Graytree, but now it's good."

"Don't say anything about prestige, do you really think the Greytree is easy to mess with? We don't know how to end up killing them here, and besides, how friendly are those crystal monsters outside? ”

"What about the people of the Twilight Guild, let them come out and tell me what the hell this is a mission. If they continue to be silent like this, Lao Tzu will not accompany them. ”

"Yes."

The head of the Holy White Stone Guild looked at the members who were talking about him, and he didn't say anything to stop it for a while, this is not the first time that the Holy White Stone is not a big guild, not to mention that even if it is the top ten, it is also divided into core members and non-core members.

Even among the core members, not everyone has signed a contract with the guild, and most of them still have to think about themselves with the guild's subsidies and salaries. Normally, the guild will provide enough benefits to appease the people, but at the end of the day, who hasn't had a bit of an unruly temper?

He knows this very well, and it is better to block it at the moment. What's more, he himself is not necessarily satisfied, but he is just accustomed to obeying the decisions of the union leadership, which is in the interests of the guild, and sometimes he has to make some trade-offs. The head of the group looked at the few henchmen around him who were still silent, and they were naturally the most core members of the guild.

In layman's terms, it is a professional call-up who receives a salary.

"Boss, are we a little too much," but even the Ranger Captain who came up temporarily couldn't help but shake his head, "Do you remember the tree man who saved us in the canyon at that time, we are for the good of the guild, but people can't be without conscience." ”

Everyone couldn't help but be a little silent, of course they remembered the tree man who sacrificed himself and saved them all, it was called Long Branch, and they remembered the name of the tree man. In fact, if it weren't for that, how could they be so guilty.

"It's all here," the head of the regiment shook his head, "Wait for the people of the Twilight Guild, their mission should be almost the same, and when they complete the task, we will leave directly." ”

Several people looked at each other, and they could only nod their heads.

"By the way, what about the rainbow?"

"I heard that she had a fight with the Twilight people and left."

"She doesn't want to be with us."

"Hey, Miss Rainbow doesn't love us anymore." I don't know who teased.

But it was at this time that there was a rustling sound in the darkness, and heavy steps came from the woodland in the distance. Hearing this voice, the people of the Holy White Stone Guild couldn't help but become solemn, they were already familiar with it, this was the voice of the tree man.

"Another Treant is coming."

Everyone's faces were a little ugly. It's not that they are afraid of fighting the enemy, it's just that this kind of battle is really embarrassing, whether it is their own death or killing the enemy, they don't feel that hearty feeling, only endless guilt.

It's so sad to feel that you're fighting yourself not so much as fighting the enemy.

But the head of the regiment looked in that direction, and suddenly his face changed, and in the darkness, a tall and old tree man appeared in front of them with two younger tree men, the old tree man was covered with gray-black bark, and his long mane almost hung down to the ground.

It was looking at the humans with an angry face, and said angrily, "I knew you couldn't be trusted, sinister and despicable humans, I should have insisted on my opinion, and I shouldn't have let Lord Moon Arrit save you back." Look what you've done, that's how you got your revenge, humans? ”

The humming sound echoed in the valley underground, and the people of the Holy White Stone Guild didn't know what to say for a moment. Of course, more importantly, it was the identity of the old tree man in front of him, who was the same as his companions who rescued them from the siege of the crystal and escorted them to this place

The Tree Man waved his twig and cried out, "Long Twig sacrificed himself to save you ungrateful people, but you killed his companions, relatives, and that's what you call your Chosen One?" You are more shameless than demons! ”

The people of the Holy White Stone Guild couldn't help but be speechless.

But not far away, another group of people appeared.

The Twilight Guild appeared on the high ground there, and the leading elemental envoy watched the scene condescendingly, raised his staff, and aimed at the Treant.

But the leader of the Holy White Stone hurriedly stopped the other party, and he spoke: "Wait, don't attack them, we know these tree people, they saved our lives." Let's convince them, and we'll leave it to us. ”

The people of the Twilight Guild hesitated for a moment and lowered the staff in their hands.

The latter breathed a sigh of relief before turning around:

"Mr. Shortbeard......"

But the Treant did not accept his kindness.

"You don't deserve that name," Shortbeard said angrily, "you must leave this place at once, from this holy place. ”

But it stopped suddenly, and Mu Ran's eyes looked behind the people of the Holy White Stone Guild with an uncanny gaze, where the people of the Twilight Guild parted, and the man appeared in that place.

The other party is holding a transparent crystal in his hand, the surface of the crystal seems to be mediocre, it is about an elbow long, and it can be held in one hand, but if you look closely, the different cutting surfaces of the crystal seem to be another kind of magic, so that even the mind can be sucked into it.

The more you gaze at it, the more enchanted it becomes, and it seems to have a fascinating charm that can be watched endlessly until the end of time. Even the man with the crystal finally regained his mind after a few glances, and carefully put it into a box.

But it was at this time that the old tree man suddenly burst out with an angry roar:

"Despicable human, what are you holding!"

"Let go of the heart of the mountain, it doesn't belong to you!"

With this roar, its branches suddenly swelled, turning into a huge net, crossing a distance of hundreds of feet, and stabbing at the people of the Twilight Guild on the hillside.

In the midst of the exclamation, the leader of the Holy White Stone Guild watched as the people of the Twilight Guild raised the staff in their hands again. "Wait!" He couldn't help but shout, but it was too late.

Beneath the night sky, a golden flame rose from the staff, also over the battlefield, colliding with the vine-like spikes in the middle of the air. A dazzling spark exploded in the darkness.

……

When Fang crawled out of the hole in the ground and was shaking off the dust on his body, he looked up and saw such a brilliant firework.

The light of the fire spread from the dark underground, illuminating the forest in the valley. He turned around and picked Kita out from underneath, then turned to watch the scene from afar:

"They're fighting the Treants."

Alice also looked in that direction and spoke.

Fang nodded, but this was at least good news, indicating that the other party was still in the valley and had not left.

……
