Chapter 8: Tracking the Twilight Cultists

Storm Wings grabbed the discus and rushed into the Gnoll camp, followed by countless wind elements, and a huge storm swam around the Gnoll camp, and a fierce fight broke out between the two sides.

"Although the two sides fought, they were quite restrained, and those wind elements and jackals didn't go to war in an all-out way." Sorena looked at the large number of wind elementals and storms swimming around the gnoll's camp, and was a little angry: "Could it be that this plan has failed like this?" ”

At this moment, the wind elemental army suddenly went crazy and launched a fierce attack on the gnoll camp.

It turned out that when the Storm Wings rushed into the Gnoll's camp, it landed on a branch near the middle, and its sharp beak easily tore through the black iron wrapped outside, and Sunderland's breath was instantly released.

So there is no doubt that the wind elemental has gone violent.

Actos squinted his eyes at the Storm Wings, and the half-elemental creature pecked its beak into the seal without hesitation, and the elemental power was continuously sucked into its mouth, and the originally small lightning on the feathers suddenly became several times thicker, and its body slowly swelled.

Sensing that Sunderland's power was gradually weakening, these furious wind elements suddenly went crazy, and lightning and storms surged mercilessly towards the army of jackals, and the two sides immediately became chaotic.

The gnolls showed no signs of weakness, and with the blessing of shamanic bloodlust, these red-eyed gnolls screamed wildly with their crude weapons in their hands, and swung their weapons fiercely before they were charred by lightning.

"Oh, it's working, it's working! The two sides have already fought a real fire. Martha happily looked at the gnolla camp in the distance, each wind elemental was surrounded by dozens of gnolls, these crazy monsters had completely ignored their leader, and Actos even saw several wind elementals directly north of Hogg, who were exactly the same as the one in the portrait, besieging them, but no matter how much it howled, none of its subordinates came to help it.

It seems that this crisis will be resolved soon, although these wind elemental combat power may be stronger than that of the jackals, but the dense forest is not suitable for the standards of these wind elements, and the dense foliage will continue to weaken their strength until they are torn into the primordial wind by countless trees and dissipated between heaven and earth.

At this time, the Storm Wings had also absorbed the power of the Wind Prince's seal and completed its first transformation, originally just a slightly larger bird-like figure, but now it has completely become an eagle, spreading its wings close to one meter five, surrounded by inky blue wind and silver lightning, and disappeared into the camp in an instant, and the next moment it was already standing on the shoulders of Arctos, elegantly combing his feathers with his golden beak.

Looking enviously at the storm wings on Actos's shoulder, Sorena wanted to reach out and touch it, but she didn't expect the creature to raise its head vigilantly, looking at the Delaney in front of her warningly, and her mouth made a cooing sound.

Retracting her hand in a daze, Sorena said with some anger: "What, a stinky crow, begging me to touch me or not." But her eyes were still on the beautiful Stormwings.

"There it is!" Martha, who had been watching the battlefield, said, "Those murderers! ”

Three figures in purple and black robes walked out of the largest tent, followed by a two-headed ogre, Arctos saw one of the cloaked men holding a staff and angrily waving at the wind elemental, an ice arrow appeared in front of him, but was blocked by another cloaked man, they argued a few words, and then the leader of the cloaked man commanded the ogre, and a group of people walked towards the twilight forest, and the two-headed ogre mage pointed at Hogg with a staff like a mace in his hand, Roaring a few words in the ogre language, Actos could clearly feel some strange power converging in his staff.

A dark red light pierced into Hogg's body, and immediately Hogg screamed miserably, knelt on the ground, countless lava poured out of his skin from its body, and Hogg, who slowly got up like a zombie, his eyes burned with flames, let out a wild roar, and rushed towards the wind elemental army.

"Looks like the gnolls are finished." Sorena closed her eyes and felt it for a moment and said: "That gnoll Hogg is full of violent fire elementals, and has almost become a lava monster dressed in the skin of a gnoll, I can feel the unstable power in its body, and after about half an hour, this gnoll will bang and turn into a huge engineering bomb." ”

Martha scratched her head: "So our mission has been accomplished?" ”

Actos shook his head and looked in the direction of the few Twilight Hammer cultists who had left: "Our mission is not over yet, we need to find out what is going on with these things, and those weird guys should be able to clear our minds." ”

Looking at the gnolls who had already collapsed, Actos wrote down a report, sealed it with fire paint, handed it to Stormwings, and explained that it had brought to the captain of the Westspring Fortress, and after seeing Stormwings leave, the three of them secretly bypassed the battlefield and chased in the direction where the followers of Twilight's hammer had left.

Soon they found traces of the departure of the group of Twilight cultists, Martha pressed her hand to the footprints, closed her eyes and was silent for a while, then said, "They are retreating towards the Elwyn Forest, judging by the traces, they are probably more than two kilometers away from us, and there is a demon guard among them. ”

Martha glanced at Actos and continued, "We don't have an advantage, the odds are too small for the three of us, but the good news is that from the footprints of these guys, they don't have the shoes to travel far, so it's likely that their hiding place is not far from here." ”

"So that means we can first explore the other party's hiding place, and then lead more companions to exterminate these cultists?"

"That's it, it would have been much easier to deal with them if we could still find two fighters." Martha nodded, as for why she didn't say the paladin...... Unlike in the game, paladins are so rare that a strong belief in the Holy Light and strong physical fitness alone can eliminate many people, not to mention being recommended to join the Paladin's training ground, and after graduation, you need to prepare your own plate armor and enchant...... In this series, there are even fewer people who can become paladins.

Moreover, there are thousands of paladin candidates in the training ground every year, and by the time they graduate, only a few dozen can successfully advance to the paladin. This shows how rare paladins are.

The three of them checked the potions and equipment, and followed the trail to track the Twilight cultists, these guys were very cautious, but unfortunately the demon guard they were carrying completely revealed their whereabouts, and the places where these demons walked, even if they were well hidden, the plants affected by the evil energy would always become dry and wilted in a very short time.

Thieves who are proficient in tracking and concealment are often able to track down their targets with subtle traces, not to mention the fact that these self-righteous cultists did not seriously cover up their tracks, presumably because they thought that no one would find out about their connection to the incident.

As they were about to enter the Elwin Forest, the traces of these guys disappeared by the river, and Actus angrily hammered the ground: "Damn, the river actually covered their tracks!" ”

Unwilling to look at the water, the angry flames in his heart were slowly devouring his reason, although it seemed to be nothing, but since leaving the Sardinia farm, Aktos always had a violent impulse urging him in his heart, and even the Holy Light could not suppress some kind of power.

Suddenly, Actos's eyes were covered with a cold feeling, and a trail of faint black mist moved from the river to the shore of the Elwyn Forest, and then just as he was about to go ashore, he suddenly went south, following an inconspicuous indentation in the river and into the Twilight Forest, apparently heading towards Raven Ridge.

"Found it! Follow me! Actos jumped to his feet, ignoring his teammates' surprise, and waded through the water towards the twilight forest on the other side, Martha shrugged at Solena, and the two looked at each other and followed.

Soon, in the meadow next to a large tree, Martha found traces of the cultists again, and after a short rest here, they headed for Raven Ridge.

Actos smiled and clenched the Jordan staff, no one could see that a dark purple flame was slowly burning in his eyes, which were covered by the shadow of the hood.

PS: BIG TRAGEDY, MY MAC CRASHED...... The entire disk is unusable, and after reinstalling the system, there is only a 30G boot disk, and the remaining partitions are completely grayed out, and they can't be saved after changing the selected format, which is basically wasted......

My deposits, my photos, my documents!!!!

Fortunately, the working files are backed up online, and more than 800 gigabytes of files are downloaded...... I want to die.

But it's okay...... I've finally got Chapter 8 ready at this point......
