Chapter 47: The Broadsword Guard

Tao Han gave the things to Lord Wang, but he didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he gave a very good gift and left quickly.

And the time is not early, after dinner, He Ming and they went to rest early. The next morning, they got up and cleaned up, and after a little preparation, they took their leave of Lord Wang, and went out of the city along the road in the direction of the Walmart Forest.

Walking along this once familiar road, they saw that the land that had been carved out had been abandoned again, the newly built houses had been abandoned, and many fertile fields were once again overgrown with weeds.

The unpleasant sights made them quicken their pace, and it was not until a post station that they saw people again. As they entered the inn, the guards inside told them that the front was particularly dangerous and that it was forbidden to proceed further.

He Ming showed him Lord Wang's token and told them that he had gone to a dangerous place to investigate these dangers.

Seeing this token, several guards no longer resolutely stopped them from moving forward, but perhaps because Lord Wang lost power, they only allowed it to pass, and were unwilling to reveal what the situation was to He Ming and them.

So after a short rest at the post station, He Ming and Li Yueqin set off again. As they progressed, the path they passed was a little unclear, and it seemed that they had come off the beaten track.

Walking to the border between Walmart Forest and Beech, I saw that a tall wall had been erected here against the mountain, and dozens of very majestic guards were here, all of them were nervous and serious, as if they were facing a great enemy, and the one standing at the forefront held a large sword with royal decoration, as steady as Mount Tai.

Just looking at it from a distance, they could feel the tense atmosphere here, and they were also infected by this atmosphere, He Ming stepped forward to salute one of the guards, and was about to speak, but found that the guard was nervously looking in one direction.

He Ming couldn't help but follow his gaze, and five or six cowering orcs came out of the low bushes.

These are ordinary weak orcs, not to mention that ordinary orcs will not come out in broad daylight like this. When they look closely, their eyes are glazed and their mouths drool, somewhat similar to the madmen of the fugitive old man.

The guards were prepared for battle, a team of shields, spears, mages, and archers, and the infrequent royal broadsword guard was at the forefront of the line.

Seeing this, He Ming also held a sword in his hand, and was about to join the battle, but when he was about to step forward, he suddenly found that the faces of the orcs began to distort, and then let out a howl of pain, and their bodies underwent terrible changes:

The body grew taller, and the mouth stretched out like a lizard, revealing dagger-like teeth. A pair of sharp horns also grew on his forehead, and his whole body was black, and a pair of front claws were as sharp as knives, and the animal-like claws also became the shape of the hooves of cattle and horses.

He Ming can be regarded as a person who has seen many dangerous scenes, but seeing such a change with his own eyes, he couldn't help but gasp, he took half a step back, and when he was about to assist the guards to fight the monsters, he saw that the battle was over in a short time.

The first monster roared and lunged towards the line, with a terrifying sound. However, as soon as he pounced on the crowd, the royal broadsword guard solved it with a clean sword, and He Ming couldn't even see clearly!

In just a moment, after hearing a few clicks, all the monsters were in different places, and then their bodies were swallowed by a cloud of flames, and there was nothing left on the ground.

He Minggu swallowed his saliva, the legendary royal broadsword guard who protected the city lord was unpredictable and admirable, and now he appeared in front of him, it was too terrifying.

When he was a child, he heard that Beechcraft chose to train talented and qualified children since he was a child, and then in the process of growing up, he had strict requirements for character and personality, and the slightest flaw would be eliminated, and the very few royal guards he finally cultivated were the last barrier in Beechcraft City.

He walked up and showed the Broadsword guard the token of Lord Wang, and told him that he and Li Yueqin were going to the Woma Forest to investigate.

The broadsword guard examined the token carefully, then nodded and told him:

"These monsters have come from the Walma Forest to attack more than many times, and the city lord has sent us to block them here and block the news, otherwise the city will cause panic and cause serious consequences.

"We have to defend this passage, we can't go to help you, there is now a team assigned by the city lord to investigate, you should try to be as safe as possible, and, whatever the outcome, please keep it a secret."

He Ming replied: "Please rest assured, Lord Wang is the same as everyone means, and we guarantee confidentiality." ”

"Very good, I also received an order from the city lord on this matter, so you can go over. But beware, if someone is hostile to the king, you may be attacked for it, and these things can only be solved by you.

With that, he opened the gate and let them through.

After giving an affirmative answer to the Broadsword Guard, He Ming and Li Yueqin stepped into the dangerous Walmart Forest, where there were no maps, no roads, and everything could only be found by feeling. He Ming began to regret the danger of dragging Li Yueqin in.

Just as He Ming was trying to find clues through the traces on the ground, Li Yueqin used a spell to collect the breath of life from the ground. He Ming thought about it, Liao Xun could use his spiritual revelation to determine the traces of the half-orc's activities at that time, and it seemed that Li Yueqin was the guide here.

After a while, Li Yueqin said: "There has been no trace of bipedal life activities here for a long time, they are all some four-legged beasts and small animals, go in the northwest direction, there is a dense breath of life over there." ”

He Ming stepped forward to open the road and walked in the northwest direction. Except for some deer and wolves, they didn't encounter anything in the overgrown jungle, and Li Yueqin's guidance as if holding a map saved them a lot of detours, but despite this, it took them a lot of effort to get out of the endless weeds and jungle.

When they walked out of the woods, they saw a completely different scene, without the feeling of a thousand-year-old primeval forest, and they were about to study the place carefully, when they suddenly heard a human voice.

Turning to look over, I found that more than a dozen people were also dusty, obviously just found this place. Seeing human beings in this kind of place is not a bad thing, He Ming rushed up to inquire about the situation, and when he got closer, he saw that the leader couldn't help but shout happily: "Liu Jiaotou!" ”

Liu Jiaotou was stunned when he heard the voice, and when he looked back, he didn't see it clearly for a while, and after careful identification, he also exclaimed: "He Ming!" It's really He Ming! Why are you here? I heard you ......" I couldn't say it for a while.

These people who accompanied Liu Jiaotou had also heard about He Ming, and they all suspected that He Ming's rebirth was related to this strange Walmart Forest, and He Ming spent a long time explaining to them what had happened for so long.

Several people present were very happy, and Liu Jiaotou was even more happy, but he still told He Ming to keep a low profile, Lord Yu's character has always been bad, if Lord Yu knew that He Ming was still alive, he would definitely not give up.

Finally, Liu Jiaotou came out of He Ming's joy that he was not dead, and when he wanted to ask about Li Yueqin's situation, Li Yueqin said with a serious expression: "Someone is here, and it is a person with a very strange breath!" ”

These people couldn't help but raise their vigilance, and in the direction that Li Yueqin pointed, a man dressed in a servant's costume walked over with an indescribable shape. As soon as he saw these people, he ran back in a panic, looking like a ghost in his heart.

He Ming had a sense of connection at a glance at this guy's clothes, but before he could think about it, he drew his sword in his hand and chased after him, and the others followed.

Despite the thunderbolt in his hand, He Ming was still in shape, walking like the wind, and the team was not as fast as him. But the strange thing is that he didn't catch up with the family who couldn't see anything special, the man ran in a panic and disappeared, and He Ming didn't catch up with him despite his best efforts.

When he was gone, he and the rest of the group assembled. This is a team of well-equipped adventurers, entrusted by the city lord, to come to the Walma Forest to investigate all kinds of visions, they want to enter the forest one day earlier, it seems that their Taoist ability is not as good as Li Yueqin, they came a whole day early, or found here, it is also a coincidence that they met.

After He Ming introduced Li Yueqin to Liu Jiaotou, she began to discuss the current scene.

Clueless, they decided to follow the figure's path and find out where he had gone.

This time, Li Yueqin cast a spell and failed to find out the strange person's whereabouts, and they walked in the direction of the man only to find that there was an elaborate doorway in the mountain wall not far away, but there was no door blocking it.

Liu Jiaotou said: "No matter how you look at it, it has a deep relationship with what we want to investigate. Why don't you guys help defend outside, and how many of us can go in and have a look? ”

He Ming said: "No need, there is nothing unusual outside, the half-orcs don't know where to go, let's go in together!" How many people are good to take care of. ”

After exchanging views, they decided to go in together, with Liu Jiaotou opening the way ahead. When you walk through the gate, you will see a completely different scene from the outside, as if it is a garden built at great expense, with a very elaborate fence and floor. Everyone was observing the scene, and suddenly countless large bats pounced on them!

The people present were all martial arts, and they all used weapons to defend, but there were too many of these bats to be prevented. At this time, Li Yueqin sent out a few runes, burning extremely dazzling flames, and soon these light-phobic animals flew away, and two of the guards had been bitten, but fortunately there were no signs of poisoning.

After chasing away the bats, they found that there was an elaborate passage downstairs in the middle of the garden, and it seemed that there was a hole in it.

I wanted to light a torch to enter, but I found that the lights below were bright, and there was a lighting fixture every other way. They walked straight inside to find that it led to a huge underground palace, with many forks in the road, and all the richly built buildings, and the walls and ceilings were expensive and intricately carved stone slabs.
