Even in the afternoon, it was dark in the Misty Forest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The milky white fog shrouded the branches, and the cold air of winter soaked into the clothes through the white mist, even if he was wearing heavy cotton clothes, he could not stop the cold, walking in the forest, he could hardly see the scenery in the distance, everything around, even the sound was swallowed by the thick fog, so that the people in the middle couldn't help but feel creepy.

"Be careful, there may be monsters in the fog."

Shiloh reminded the blonde girl beside him.

"yes, I know."

The blonde boy, Princess Elyfils nodded, clenching the Ash Edge in her hand.

The body has changed into Aster's standard military uniform, and at this moment, Her Royal Highness the princess exudes a dreamlike color in the mist, Shiloh can't help but think of the knight princess who is charging ahead, I don't know whether it is the mist or the sweet air in the forest, he is a little trance.

Shaking his head to sober himself up, Shiloh then looked around, checking the other people's locations.

Luluan was walking in front of the two of them, in the center of the team. Even though she changed into the smallest robe, the cuffs still grew out, making her look quite funny.

And in the front, there is Vera Hill, who is holding the long sword "Frost", as the strongest person in the team, she naturally takes on the responsibility of avant-garde exploration.

Squads of twelve are scattered around the perimeter at three-yard intervals, which is the standard formation when fighting in difficult terrain.

Originally, Viscount Wellington wanted Her Royal Highness the Princess to stay in the camp and be with the large army, but Shiloh objected, on the one hand, because Her Royal Highness the Princess was not at ease alone, and on the other hand, because in this misty forest, there was no safer than staying by the side of a gold-level master, and Princess Elyfils was also willing to act with the team, so, after some discussion, Verahill still brought Her Royal Highness the Princess.

As for Luluan, in order not to have a misunderstanding with Charandel's people, and also to allow her to identify the location of their attack, she also brought it with her.

"According to the map, we should be at Charandel's camp soon."

Shiloh held a simple map drawn by a local villager in his hand and pretended to look at it, but in fact, he was basically locating based on his past memories and Luluan's description, but fortunately, this area was almost the same as his back garden in the game, and he was naturally quite familiar with the way.

"The smell of blood in the air is getting stronger."

Verahir reminded as she used the frost to cut off the dead branches in front of her that she couldn't bypass.

"According to Luluan's description, it is very likely that they have encountered a group of tree demons, and if it is only a few tree demons, they don't need to worry too much."

Shiloh whispered to Princess Erifels.

Naturally, he wasn't worried, just a few tree demons were as small as ants in front of Villahir, and now they, just like a big one in the game in the past with a few small ones to quickly brush experience, as long as they followed, there would be no big problems.

"Looks like this is."

With a faint sigh, Verahir stopped.

"It's ......"

Shiloh stepped over Verahir's shoulder and saw the deplorable situation in the camp.

The tent was already in tatters, the remains of armor and weapons were all over the ground, and the human beings had been dismembered and devoured, their blood had long since coagulated, the overflowing internal organs had been frozen, and most of the corpses were as withered as firewood, without a trace of blood, which was the appearance of being drained of vitality.

As for the trees around the camp, it's a different story.

The huge branches were cut smooth by the blades, the bark was burned to a deep black by the flames, and the scorching smell was emitted, and the dark green sap was frozen into ice by the cold wind, and it seemed that the Dryads had paid the price after attacking the camp.

Subconsciously wanted to cover the eyes of the girl next to him, but Shiloh hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't make any move.

He heard the sound of Princess Eliephis inhaling, and her slender fingers gently tugged at his cuffs, but immediately let go again, and Her Royal Highness took a step forward and spoke in a calm voice that suppressed her emotions.

"Let's count the dead, we need to know if there is still a need to continue the search."

Verahill looked at Princess Elyfils, whose face was slightly gloomy, and nodded slightly, and the soldiers behind him immediately began to move in the camp.

"Your Highness Alysfers."

Shiloh tried to reassure Her Highness, but she raised her left hand and signaled that Shiloh didn't need to continue.

Shiloh knew that as a member of the royal family, it was very likely that she would see a battlefield even more tragic than the scene in front of her in this troubled world, even if Princess Elyfils was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, this identity would definitely drive her to bear many responsibilities and burdens that she should not bear at this age, but fortunately, Her Royal Highness herself knew these and took on them.

"Brother......

And Luluan, since seeing the tragic situation of this camp, has been in a trance, if it weren't for Xiluo, I'm afraid she would have to rush into the sea of corpses and blood to find her companions.

"Don't worry, there's only humans here, no El-like corpses."

Shiloh glanced at the camp and made a quick judgment, but he couldn't help but frown when he heard the information that the girl hadn't mentioned before.

"Brother? Was the companion with you your brother turned out to be? ”

"Hmm, didn't I say that? Well, I'm coming to the Misty Forest with my brother William, who is also a member of the Royal Society of Alchemists......"

Being stared at by Shiloh's eyes a little hairy, Luluan's heart that had just been put down hung again.

Suspicious.

Shiloh didn't know why Luluan was hiding this fact, but now was not the time to dwell on such a thing, since her brother's body was not found at the scene, then at least that William. Far mountains did not die here.

"Report to the general, after a rough inventory, there are fifteen corpses at the scene, and no trace of the Els has been found."

In less than five minutes, Tyra, the team leader, informed Vera Hill of the results of the search.

"Fifteen, that is, there are four people left......

The frosty Ranger General looked down in thought, carefully observing the traces around the camp.

"I don't seem to see Elan. Gerson's figure, it seems that he fled with the Els? ”

Shiloh quickly noticed that there was no iconic big man in the corpse, and it was natural to think about it carefully, as the leader of the lark of the mercenary group, he had the strength of silver when Shiloh knew him, and in the face of these tree demons, although it was difficult to repel them all, there was no problem in self-preservation.

"Quite possibly, look this way."

Princess Alifils pointed to the side of the camp, and the already frozen blood stretched out of the camp in a staccato line, pointing to the northwest.

Following the direction of the bloodstain, Shiloh looked out of the hazy mist, and only a towering giant tree loomed into the sky.

That's the direction of Trasil, the sprout of the World Tree.
