Chapter 58: Rescue
The border forest occupies the territory of the Dagger Valley plate, and in this forest live Pik Spirits, Gregins, Tree Spirits and Half-sheep People, all of whom live as pacifists, but recently hunters have found traces of dangerous magical creatures such as saber-toothed tigers, earth bears, and deer spirits in the forest, which has also indirectly led to the border forest becoming more and more sparsely populated, and gradually becoming a forbidden place that is rarely visited......
Acoste's goal now is to cross the entire forest, reach the Mokou Mountains as fast as possible, and then reach the Dagger Waterfall through there, the road below is easy to walk, and Acoste and his party can go to the Moon Sea through the trade route.
A row of dense trees stood on the horizon like majestic guards, the boundary between the forest and the plain was so obvious, the moment Yacoste and a group of them entered the forest, they felt that the light quickly disappeared, the overlapping shade and fallen branches were all over the ground where the roots of the trees were intertwined, and under the shade of the trees grew many lush fungal plants, and the heads of these spore creatures emitted a lot of colored powder, and the half-elf swordmaster knew that those powders contained strong paralyzing substances, Even a high-level warrior would be numb when he took a puff of powder when he was caught off guard.
"Squeak..."Acoste stepped on a tree branch under his feet, making a crisp sound, the half-elf swordmaster pulled out his weapon and looked around with his whole body guarded, in the cognition of the half-elf, the lush forest is definitely one of the most dangerous places on the main plane of the Faeron continent, the dense trees are the best concealment for predators in the shadows, those dangerous and powerful creatures will always hide in a certain visual corner, licking their tongues and looking at those careless and reckless adventurers, And then give them the most fatal blow when they least expect it......
Don't take it lightly because spells and your own senses work, some ancient forests contain magical energy that can distort your surroundings and interfere with your reliance, and dangerous magical creatures have certain magic resistances attached to their skins to shield your senses.
Coupled with the seemingly ordinary ancient trees around, maybe it was a tree man who was really sleeping. And those budding flowers, maybe it's a man-eating flower.
The forest is the last place any adventurer wants to be, except for druids and rangers, and it is synonymous with death for all other classes.
"Ahh
Acoste was exploring the path ahead, when suddenly an exclamation came from behind, and the half-elf swordmaster was startled. Hurriedly look back to see what was going on in his team......
But all six members of the team were safe and sound in their positions, and they also looked suspicious, apparently from somewhere else.
"Ahh Help, is there anyone to help me! Just as Acoste breathed a sigh of relief, the exclamation was heard again, this time clearly from a short distance to the left of the group.
Ling in the center of the team didn't say a word after hearing the voice this time, and was the first to rush out.
The half-elf sword saint shook his head helplessly, Dongfang Dancing Girl is all right. It's just that she is too kind-hearted, and when she meets ordinary people who need help, Ling doesn't think too much about it at all.
This is still a situation where Xiao Maihime has improved a lot, and if she is left alone, maybe she will have to do it for the unrelated civilians and vampires in Canyon Town.
The others followed the sound and ran after the Oriental Maido, and after cutting through the half-man-high grass, the first thing they saw was a mutilated corpse.
A woman sat on her knees, and across from her was a large, colorful tiger.
Two pairs of sharp fangs were exposed at the mouth of the saber-toothed tiger. It landed on all four feet taller than the tallest Half-Elf Juggernaut in the group, and a vague wind element wrapped around the tiger's limbs.
At first glance, it looks like a saber-toothed tiger that has mutated at least two or three times. Its creature level is conservatively estimated to be above level 15, and it is an authentic jungle king......
The sub-acoste head is even bigger, and the creature level has a much more obvious bonus to his strength than the class level, and it stands to reason that a beast with a high-level creature level needs a team (5 people) of high-level professionals to deal with. There are only three high-level professionals in the team on his side, and even if he wins, it will be a miserable victory. But now that the saber-toothed tigers with wind elemental attributes have discovered themselves, it is unrealistic for them to retreat at this time. Even if the group is wiped out, he can only fight with him.
Acoste bent his knees slightly, the Wheel of Inquisitor in Mavi's hand flashed with a cold light, Doris and Lavis had already made the spell casting gesture, Kogan was at the front of the group alone, and the dwarf's skin began to turn red. This is a precursor to preparing the Berserk skill.
"Roar! However, just as the members of the Scarlet Frost Flame Adventure Team were about to fight with each other, the beast that gave birth to wisdom seemed to be intimidated, and it obviously saw that the Scarlet Frost Flame Team was not a bone to gnaw on, and the King of the Jungle roared a few times at the half-elf Sword Saint like a demonstration, turned around and jumped into the grass behind him.
"It's okay, it's okay..."Acoste secretly thought in his heart, with the saber-toothed tiger leaving, the suffocating momentum suddenly dissipated, and the rest of the people also put down their hearts, the aura of the creature in front of him was not much weaker than some dragons who had just arrived at the youth, and the feeling of confronting this kind of wild beast must not be comfortable.
After driving away the saber-toothed tiger, Acoste turned to look at the young woman who had fallen limply to the ground, the little sister seemed frightened, grabbed Ling by the collar and buried her head in the other's arms, shivering, it seemed that she couldn't ask anything for a short time.
Acoste gave Ling a look, but was resolutely rejected by Dongfang Maiji, and the half-elf sword saint sighed, it seems that the team is going to drag a burden for a while......
The night in the forest came very quickly, and Acoste had already had several forest adventures, and the group set up camp early at sunset, and Maiki made a few improvised traps on the periphery of the camp as the first line of defense, and Doris and Lavis respectively planted some powerful magic traps around the camp as the second line of defense. Acoste continued to work as the team's chef, preparing a sumptuous dinner for the group.
Acoste himself is the captain, but he is happy to do this job, and now his cooking skills have exceeded 250 points, but it is a pity that the half-elf swordmaster still can't make the kind of cooking that can improve people's attributes in a short time.
"Thank you......" The young woman took a sip of the fragrant broth that the dancer brought her, and after an afternoon of adjustment, her mental state was much more stable, and she no longer screamed at a rabbit scurrying out of the woods, like the frightened bird before.
"So now can you introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about where you came from and how it happened?" Acoste smiled and served his sister a bowl, then stared at the other with a breathtaking look that enveloped the woman like a sword unsheathed, and for a moment she trembled with fright.
He didn't believe that there would be a weak woman in the depths of the forest, such an ordinary person could not come to such a dangerous place, first of all, they themselves were not capable of entering alone, even if it was a team, no fool would carry such a burden on the road......
