42. Departure
This afternoon, Ye Qing and the others set off from Koma City, also because this mission was very dangerous, after all, they took the AAAAA-S level mission to hunt the Jisheng Dragon Flame Otter, a kind of magical beast with dragon blood. After all, several of them also need to practice martial arts and magic or something, and of course they have to earn some extra money, after all, this time is different from the past, and now they are not the subordinates of the royal family back then, the cronies of General Karakasen.
Then a few people first came to a small town not far from the Jiaoxi Forest, today's town is quite deserted, but it did not hinder the purchase of Yeqing and others, and finally at the end of the day's procurement, everyone brought enough food and water, and other necessary items to ensure that accidents happen, after all, anything can happen at that time.
Then the group decided to rest for the night and set off tomorrow, after all, there are many dangers in the Jiaoxi Forest, what dangers will await them, maybe they will only be able to know until they reach the depths of the forest...
After a few people just talked about the old for a while, they slept directly and beautifully, after all, they have to enter the forest tomorrow, and the town at this moment, the moonlight is sprinkled, and the stars are dotted, which seems to be extraordinarily quiet.
Of course, after late at night, far away places around the town, that is, in the gray area of the Jiaoxi Forest, began to hear the roars of various demonic beasts, of course, for the people sleeping in the town at the moment, they ignored these roars at all, purely regarded them as a symphony, and slowly entered the dream, after all, the town is surrounded by defensive magic.
Early in the morning, the Apocalypse Mercenary Regiment and the others marched towards the depths of the Jiaoxi Forest and embarked on their journey. Although there are only some low-level or intermediate-level demonic beasts that pop up from time to time in the relatively safe areas on both sides of the road, they are more or less still a certain threat to everyone, after all, many low-level demonic beasts are group demonic beasts, once they are surrounded, although the level is not high, but it will also bring them a lot of trouble.
Although Yeqing and the others would not care about these low-level demonic beasts, of course they would not like this kind of trouble, so they still tried their best to avoid these low-level demonic beasts and advanced towards the depths of the Jiaoxi Forest.
A few people gradually came to the edge of the gray area, a vast primeval forest like the ancient forest of the elves, what kind of magical beasts are here, few people know, because the people who can survive in it are the best among the mercenaries, and ordinary adventure groups or mercenaries will not set foot in the depths of this forest.
At this moment, Yeqing Christian and the others also began to be extra cautious and cautious, and even Alec and Rodnier stopped taunting each other and began to be on full alert. Several people looked in all directions around them, and walked very carefully towards the depths of the Jiaoxi Forest, searching for the place where the demonic beast might appear.
Christian and Buck explored forward, jumping from tree to tree like ghosts, while the others, including Yeqing, had to accompany Alec, a pure magician who couldn't fly, cautiously moving forward.
The crowd of people, following the traces left by their predecessors, no longer knew how far they had gone, and gradually, there was no trace of man-made at first, and there was silence in the dim forest at this moment.
Ye Qing woke up a little at this moment, and said quietly: "Maybe we have entered the territory of a high-level demonic beast at this moment!
Ye Qing's words made Buck look a little sideways, and he praised: "Leader, he really deserves to be a student of the four major demon martial arts academies, and he even knows this kind of thing well!"
"Everyone, be on alert!!" said Christian, in a deep voice.
At this moment, everyone has entered the territory of a certain high-level demonic beast, after all, no one has come to explore this area for a long time, which makes this area form a natural food chain.
Originally, Yeqing and the others wanted to go around and walk halfway, but they found that the other side was even more difficult to walk, there were spider webs all over there, and countless webs were formed between the trees, and they couldn't be seen clearly, because these webs were transparent and colorless, and they became the most dangerous trap in the dim Jiaoxi Forest.
At first, the cobwebs were unnoticed until Alec accidentally rubbed into one and struggled to get rid of it, using fire magic to scorch the webs.
The small cobwebs that had just started to burn, and after Alex increased the magic, the large cobwebs began to burn slowly and gently.
"Oh no!!" Buck was shocked.
"What's wrong?" Alec asked, puzzled.
"I think those wild spiders are coming!!" Yeqing said.
After a moment of calming down, except for the smell of burning flames, there began to be a rustling sound from all directions. Apparently the owners of the cobwebs were awakened by the alarm. Soon a swarm of giant spiders appeared from deep in the forest.
"Then you don't run?" cried Christian.
A group of people suddenly had a numb scalp, which was a hornet's nest. Immediately he ran up, and Rodniel scolded as he ran: "Alec, why are you setting fire to these cobwebs!"
Yeqing relieved Alec and explained: "Don't blame him, the main thing is that I didn't notice, let's run!"
It's bad luck to be surrounded by these spiders, and it's not a very good result for them.
A few people quickly dodged the edge of the group of monsters, of course, on the way to escape, they still encountered a large number of wild spiders, Christian deserved to be the deputy commander, showing the strength of melee as a warrior, whenever a wild spider stepped forward to block it, it was a knife to death, protecting Yeqing and Alec behind him, after all, Alec is a magician, Yeqing is the leader, Rodnier and Buck are responsible for cleaning the wild spiders on both sides, the fighting spirit exploded, and the skills of a large number of group attacks were released, and they also killed and injured I don't know how many monsters, and soon those spiders stopped coming up, Yeqing felt that the surroundings fell into calm again at this moment, and several people gasped, but still vigilant defense around.
"Damn it, I haven't found anything yet, and here comes such a bunch of nasty guys!!" Rodnier chirped.
"Come on, be careful, be on guard!" Christian interrupted, looking around warily.
"Looks like we still have to release the magic, Alec and I will use fire magic to assist in the attack!"
"Good!" Alec didn't hesitate.
"Captain Yeqing, this is the forest, and if it all burns, we won't be able to escape!" Christian reminded.
"Don't worry, I know water magic!" explained Yeqing.
"That's good!"
Because at this moment, strange noises began to be heard from time to time, which showed that this group of wild spiders did not give up chasing their group of guys at all, after all, Alec had burned all their hunting webs. But why haven't they attacked together yet, Yeqing and the others didn't figure it out for a while.
"Let's get out of this place first. Christian said.
"It doesn't seem to work anymore. Yeqing replied. Ye Qing and the others have already discovered at this moment, this strategy of withdrawing from here has fundamentally become unworkable, and an indisputable fact tells them that they have already been surrounded by these wild demon spiders at this moment.
Soon, as if in response to their speculation, strange cries began to come from all directions.
"Then do it!" Alec said sharply.
At this moment, no matter which direction it is, it is now surrounded by dense cobwebs, and now Yeqing is also a little hesitant to use fire magic, after all, they are surrounded now, if they are not surrounded, it is better to say, if they use it now, the damage to themselves will be so great. There is also a huge flame, which will wake up other high-level demonic beasts, and it will be miserable to turn into meat buns when the time comes.
