Just after noon, the woodland is bathed in golden sunlight like a rich turquoise, which looks beautiful from afar, but travelers lost in the dense forest have different opinions. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Why haven't we seen a single ogre in this place for two days? Talking about the 'Ogre Mountains' is not worthy of the name at all. ”

With a muffled thud, the heavily armored dwarf sat down on the stump, raised his water bag and poured ale into it, followed by endless complaints.

The tall female ranger transforms the "transformation weaving suit" into a green tight-fitting hunting suit, which almost blends in with the vegetation. In order to facilitate walking in the forest, the blonde hair is also braided, and it looks more and more heroic. She bit a scroll, climbed a tall spruce tree with her hands and feet, and found a fork of a tree to shelter temporarily, looking down on the mountains, and her vision suddenly became wider.

She unfolded the map with her free hands, comparing the terrain in front of her to try to determine how far her current location was from the "ogre cave" marked on the map.

The map provided by Duvalin was not accurate enough, and if it was not corrected according to the circumstances on the ground, Lyudmila was convinced that her party would need more luck to find the ogre's lair.

Creak! Creak! A red squirrel jumped up close to the female ranger, looking at her curiously. The little guy's big black eyes are clear and pure, and his bulging cheeks are matched with a pair of big teeth, revealing a stupid and cute temperament, which makes Lyudmila unconscious, and she is about to reach over and caress the little guy, but a black shadow suddenly floats in the distance, which makes her heart sink, and she hurriedly gazes into the distance.

The back quickly drifted away, faster than a galloping horse, but its feet did not touch the ground, galloping on the canopy of the tree as if it were walking on the ground, and sometimes leaping, like a great bird spreading its wings and gliding towards another tree.

The distance was too far for Lyudmila to see the man's appearance clearly, but the golden heavy sword that the other party was leaning behind her aroused her association, and seeing the figure of the man disappear behind the mountain beam, Lyudmila hurriedly leaned over and shouted to Roland, who was drinking water with his back to the spruce: "Guess who I saw just now?" ”

Roland wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth, looked up at the trees full of green leaves, and couldn't tell where his ranger sister Fang was for a while, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "My eyes can't compare with you, I can't guess, just say it." ”

"Remember the Black Samurai who showed up at the lumberyard? That mysterious Parnian! ”

"Oh, you mean Vlad?" Roland raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"That's right! I saw him running up the tree just now, and the guy ran faster than a monkey, and in a blink of an eye he was gone! ”

Bloom heard the conversation between the two and shook his head disapplausively: "You shouldn't be dazzled, Vlad is wearing a heavy armor, how can he run freely in a tree, unless he uses magic." ”

Lyudmila condescendingly despised him: "Stupid dwarf, I wouldn't be able to see if he used magic?" I'm sure that guy must be a ninja if not a snitch! As for heavy armor...... Maybe it's made of wood, who knows. ”

Roland patted the trunk of the tree and frowned, "Don't care what kind of profession he is, the question is what is he doing here?" ”

Bloom picked up the war hammer and replied loudly: "That guy has appeared in the lumberyard before, and he also vaguely mentioned the inside story of the bloodbath, so it can be seen that he must know more than us, we can find the body of the ogre, Vlad must have found it a long time ago, of course, he will also think of coming to the ogre mountain range to find more clues, if you want me to say, as long as we follow him, we will find a place." ”

"Makes sense." Roland looked up at the treetops again, "Mira, can you track Vlad?" ”

"Of course, but ...... Are you sure you want to do this? "Lyudmila has doubts and fears that Vlad will lead her astray.

"Give it a try, we have nothing to lose anyway even if we find the wrong place."

"Well, Vlad had better stay out of his game."

Lyudmila put away the map, her fingers in a few strange poses, her eyes slightly closed and whispered prayers, singing the praises of the majesty of nature. The spirit of nature also generously reciprocated her with divine power, and a circle of green light appeared around her, and immediately suddenly absorbed the girl's body. When she opened her eyes again, there was a faint hint of indescribable spirituality in her pupils.

The squirrel crouched on a branch and watched it all, his eyes full of curiosity. The female ranger has a pure temperament that makes this innocent little creature feel kind and friendly.

Lyudmila smiled and held out her hand to it, spitting out a strange string of notes, and translating it into a message that the squirrel could understand under the effect of divine magic.

"Little guy, I'm going to follow the man in black just now, this forest is your home, you should be familiar with this area, can you help me lead the way?"

The little squirrel rolled its eyes, looking a little hesitant, and when the female ranger generously took out a handful of peanuts, it immediately nodded happily and shook its tail, as if to say, "I have made up your friend!" ”

Under the leadership of Squirrel Jun, Roland and his party hit the road again. Bloom's reasoning proved to be correct, and as the woods thinned out, the cave halfway up the hill came into view.

"Looks like we've found the right place." Roland looked at the cave and whispered.

"What's next?" Lyudmila asked.

"Do you still need to ask? Break in and kill those stupid ogres, of course! Bloom urges impatiently.

Lyudmila didn't bother to argue with him, and then asked Roland: "The entrance to the cave is too small, and it may be difficult for horses to pass, so the cattle can only stay here." ”

Roland patted his celestial horse and told it to wait here through a psychic link.

Lyudmila's magic "Animal Talk" is still in play, and she can directly explain that the war horse is waiting for her return here.

As for Bloom, Roland didn't know how he communicated with the ferocious boar, but after a few gestures from the dwarf, the boar rushed into the woods with joy and disappeared.

Roland wiped a cold sweat and couldn't help but worry for someone that his mount would never return.

When they were ready, Roland and Bloom set out first, and Lyudmila handed the last peanut to the squirrel, patted the little one on the head and sent it home, then took off the bow of silence, wound the arrow, and followed Roland and Bloom to the cave.

The interior of the cave was dark and damp, and the air was mixed with the smell of wild animal droppings and carrion, and it was clear that the owner of the cave was not very hygienic.

Lyudmila was particularly sensitive to the filthy air, and she couldn't help but feel sick to her stomach, covering her mouth and barely resisting the urge to vomit.

Roland heard the retching movement, turned to the girl, and when he noticed that her face was pale, he reached out and stroked her forehead.

The soft light was released from his hand, and the Bracer of Divine Healing flashed with a silver luster, transforming the holy light that had only a healing effect into a more versatile secondary restoration technique, and injected it into Lyudmila's body through Roland's palm, as if a clear spring flowed through his body, instantly dispelling the discomfort.

"Thank you." After receiving treatment, Lyudmila's complexion was much better, and she offered to explore the way ahead.

Roland thought for a moment and accepted her suggestion. There was no way around it, and there was a lack of full-time wanderers in the team, so Lyudmila, who had the highest detection skills, had to act as a spy.

Lyudmila was about to squeeze past him, when a roar suddenly came from behind, and she instinctively hugged Roland in surprise, at a loss.

Roland was also startled, but he quickly calmed down, and looked back at the place where the roar came from, holding the girl's slender waist, only to see a stone gate sliding down from a high place, cutting off the pit he had walked through.

"Hell! Caught in the trap! Bloom threw the hammer in a fit of rage. The Adamantite Warhammer whizzed and smashed against the stone gates, sparks with a thud.

The hammer returned to the dwarves, and the sluice remained untouched, leaving only a scar the size of the bowl where it had been hammered, insignificant in comparison to its generous size.

Roland patted the dwarf on the shoulder, and comforted him in as calm a tone as possible: "Leave this gate alone, I'm afraid there will be bigger troubles waiting for us in the future, get ready for battle." ”

The stone gate cut off the back road, which meant that a bigger threat was ahead, and Roland had the highest defense among the three, and he was at the front of the team.

Durandal slowly unsheathed, and as soon as he was ready for a surprise attack, there was a wolf howl in front of him, and a little green light appeared in the dim cavern, accompanied by a fishy wind.
