Chapter 296: Soul Hunters
Bremet was taken aback, he was so focused on bargaining with Wren that he didn't notice anyone approaching.
The electric claw dragged back was a shadow warrior with a curvy figure, obviously a woman.
She was wearing close-fitting delicate leather armor, with two daggers stuck in her waist, her face covered with a black scarf, her hair tied back behind her head, and only her eyes were exposed, but at the moment her eyes were out of focus, and her body curled up like a prawn lying on the ground next to the campfire, trembling.
The Shadow Warrior finally passed the electrocution paralysis, and was about to jump up when he turned over, and with a bang, the two giant swords crossed against his neck.
The force from the sword was so heavy that she couldn't move.
She looked up and saw two tall warriors standing in front of her, as strong as a hill, with their bodies hidden in armor.
"Boss. "An extreme warrior feels guilty.
They were keeping vigil on the outskirts of the camp, and it was a dereliction of duty to be touched so closely.
Wren raised his hand, indicating that it was okay.
This is a high-level shadow warrior, it can be seen from the elements in the soul that her strength is extremely outstanding, she is definitely an elite transcendent, the best shadow escape reaches the fifth level, and there is also a very rare element "Silent Breath", which does not make any sound when she acts, and she doesn't even hear the voice of all things herself.
It is still by the will of truth that I see someone in the shadows.
It's normal for Ultramarines not to notice.
Cronouan stepped forward and tore off his face towel fiercely, and the firelight reflected a beautiful face, with smooth skin, bright eyes, and a bit of wildness in his expression.
"Who are you?"
"What are you doing near our camp?" Cronouan asked in a deep voice.
"Guys, I have no ill intentions. The Shadow Warrior hurriedly explained loudly, she didn't dare to move, and said quickly: "My name is Laurena, a soul hunter from the Empire who died in the forest sea, exploring the way for my teammates, hearing your voice, I was a little curious, so I got closer, and there was absolutely no disadvantage to you." ”
As she spoke, her eyes fell on Wren, who apparently recognized Wren as the leader on the other side.
Wren just looked at her and didn't speak.
Bremet was surprised, he was a legendary hunter, he had excellent perception, he could be described as the nemesis of the shadow warrior, and it was not easy for Laurena to sneak around.
"Your Excellency ......," Laurena looked at with unease.
Wren raised an eyebrow, judging by the color of her soul, she wasn't lying.
But I didn't tell the truth, I hid something.
She'd probably been sneaking around for a long time, overhearing her conversation with Bremet, recognizing her identity but pretending not to.
Wren didn't know how much she heard, it involved Rambo's gun, and even if the real secret wasn't revealed, it would be a nuisance if it got out.
He touched his chin with his hand and asked tentatively, "How much have you heard?"
"Hear what?"
Laurina's expression was inexplicable, but she was actually frightened, and the color of her soul changed rapidly.
"The acting is good, and the appearance is good, but it's a pity. Wren turned to Cronouan and motioned for him to kill the woman.
Cronouan swung his greatsword without hesitation.
"Your Excellency, please don't kill me!" Lorena screamed.
Wren raised his hand to stop Cronouan.
In fact, Cronouan was just pretending to do it, and the order that Wren passed through the original symbiosis was not to kill, but to scare this shadow warrior.
The two cooperated very well, and even Bremet was deceived, thinking that Wren was really killing people to protect the secret of Rambo's gun.
He was both surprised and frustrated, which showed how determined Wren's will was, and it was difficult to get the way to make the bolt.
Wren glanced at the dwarf and asked playfully, "Now you know me?"
"Yes, yes. Laurena's head nodded as quickly as a chicken pecking rice, "Lord Glamorgan, I really just arrived, not half a minute, I only heard that this dwarf was going to change something for the lord's service, and before I could hear clearly, you found out." ”
"Really?" Wren snorted, his eyes flickering.
"It's absolutely true!" Laurena didn't dare to hide anything in order to survive, "I can swear in the name of my lord 'Eluna', and everything I say is the truth." ”
Eluna is a powerful deity who has multiple priesthoods such as "night", "moon", "dream", and "elf", and is the main god of the elven race, and there are many believers among humans, so it is not surprising that a shadow warrior believes in him.
Dare to swear in the name of Eluna, it can be seen that Laurena is in a hurry.
In fact, Wren can see without swearing that she is telling the truth this time, and she really hasn't heard much.
Wren thought for a moment before he said, "Let her go." ”
The two Ultramarines withdrew their greatswords, but did not go far, standing beside Wren on alert.
Laurena was relieved, thinking that she had just walked around the ghost gate, and found that the leather armor behind her back was wet with cold sweat.
Even his legs were a little weak, and he almost couldn't stand on his feet.
Wren saw her embarrassment, laughed secretly, and made a gesture of please, "Sit down, it's rare to meet someone else in the Death Forest, do you want a drink?"
He took out a clean glass, filled it with juice and handed it over.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, Count. Laurena couldn't refuse, so she sat down, took the cup and took a sip without hesitation. The juice was sweet and delicious, and it was cold to the throat, which immediately relieved the fatigue and pain in the body, and let out a comfortable sigh.
She couldn't help but think to herself, it was a rare luxury to be able to drink such a cup of juice in the Sea of Death, and it must have been stored in the dimensional space equipment in advance.
Then look at the luxury tents in the camp and the hearty food around the campfire, which can be called a pleasure in the wilderness.
There are also the four famous extreme warriors, a few huge wyverns lying outside the camp, and it is precisely because of them that they are curious to touch and peep secretly.
He is worthy of being the Earl of Glamorgan, who is famous in the Empire.
Laurena remembered the hardships of sleeping in the open air, and her mood was complicated, and she suddenly became a little distracted.
Wren asked nonchalantly, "Laurena, how did you end up in the Ismu Valley?"
The Empire's soul hunters all enter the Death Forest from the east, and the Ismu River Valley is located in the southwest of the Death Forest Sea, and it is at least three times the distance to get here. Whether it is walking from the Plateau of Seine or coming from the outer circle of the forest sea, it is a long way and full of dangers, and the general soul hunting team will not do this, unless there is a special purpose.
Laurena came back to her senses and replied, "My lord, we are the top soul hunting team, and the east side of the Death Forest has been swept by too many soul hunting teams, and it is difficult to hunt particularly valuable demon souls, so take a detour to the Ismu River Valley and try your luck." ”
This explanation is reasonable, but Wren does not believe it.
Laurena didn't tell the whole truth.
He smiled noncommittally, "Have you gained anything in the valley?"
"There are a few good demon souls. Laurena nodded reservedly, "If the Earl wants to buy it, it may disappoint you." ”
"How?" Wren asked.
"This is the agreed rule of all soul hunting teams, and all the loot cannot be sold until the hunt is over, so as not to cause internal strife due to the uneven distribution of wealth, and they must be disposed of together after returning to the empire. Laurena explained briefly.
"I see. Wren's face suddenly changed, there was some truth in this rule.
But I'm not a member of the Soul Hunters, so I just want to ask.
"Do you have a demon soul with a thunder and lightning affinity?"
Wren originally just asked casually and didn't have much hope, however, Laurena's expression was stunned, and the color of her soul changed rapidly.
His eyes lit up.
So he asked again: "What kind of demon soul?"
"I'm sorry. Laurena hesitated for a few seconds, then stood up and bowed respectfully, "My lord, according to the rules, I can't tell you, I have to go back." ”
Wren looked at her and didn't speak.
Laurena didn't dare to leave without permission, and the camp fell silent, except for the sound of a campfire burning.
"My teammates are still waiting for me......" she tries to use her teammates' presence as a warning to show that she is not alone.
"You don't have to go back. Wren said suddenly, startling Laurena, and then heard him say, "Your teammates have come looking for you." ”
Laurena turned her head to look at the Dark Forest, but found nothing.
Bremitt is also skeptical.
It wasn't until two minutes later that there was a faint movement, mixed with a few whispered conversations in the wind, coming in from outside the valley, getting closer and closer to the camp.
Soon, a loud man's voice shouted, "Laurina?"
"Captain, I'm here. Laurena hurriedly responded.
A sound of footsteps sounded around the camp, and immediately, several figures walked into the area illuminated by the bonfire, some of them were men and women, with a complete set of extraordinary professions, each of them was fully armed, and looked at the fiery dragon in front of him with a wary face, not daring to get too close.
At the head was a burly iron guard, dressed in silver-gray heavy armor, with his face hidden in a helmet, and holding a two-handed greatsword.
He's a legendary Iron Guard!
The other five are all high-level transcendents.
A faltering Windblast swordsman, two wizards, one male and one female, a high-ranking elemental, a middle-aged priest in metal chain mail and wielding a mace and an oak shield, and an elemental archer followed behind, his enchanted longbow glowing with a cold glow.
Both Wren and Bremet were surprised.
Laurena said that her soul hunting team was the best, and sure enough, there was no one in her teammates, none of them were mediocre, and they were all the elite of the high-level transcendentals.
The eye of the soul could see more clearly, and the strength of these people was also rare among high-level transcendents.
That legendary guard is especially strong, and he should be the captain.
He cautiously observed Wren and his party, and did not let his guard down just because Laurena was in the camp, and asked, "Laurina, what's going on, who are they?"
