Chapter 33: The Trap
"Finn, there's movement."
Lilith walked behind Finn with the staff of wolf souls made of dark iron and steel, her long black hair fluttering with the night breeze in the forest for a moment, and then she felt the grass around her seem to shake for a moment, making a very soft rustling sound.
The young paladin who walked in front stopped and turned around.
His perceptual stats have reached a very high level due to the fact that he has been enhanced by inherited talents, which makes his ability to hear and hear much sharper than that of any normal human.
Therefore, what the Warlock Maiden had noticed just now, he had actually noticed a second before she called out to him.
"Lilith, stay vigilant."
Finn reminded Lilith, then clenched the hilt of his sword and looked around, only to see that the eye-like spots of light in several of the surrounding trees had withdrawn from his sight.
In its place, there was a distinct audible sound.
Rustling......
Rustling......
It was as if someone was taking a cramped step, using his legs and feet to separate the layers of grass and a few bushes in the dense forest, and quickly approached this way.
The movement was so obvious that Finn and Lilith were looking sideways in the same direction, and the place where they both heard the sound coming from was over there.
Soon, the young man and the black-haired warlock maiden did not wait too long.
After about seven or eight seconds, a figure emerged from the depths of the dark forest, with a slender figure, about one hundred and sixty centimeters tall, and a robe on its body.
Finn held his breath, leaving a small portion of his attention to maintain mental contact with the two dozen ghost spiders he had sent into the depths of the forest, devoting most of his attention to scrutinizing the figure that was rapidly approaching this way.
If it was an enemy, he couldn't believe that the guy who was eyeing his group was so careless.
Another three-and-a-half-second passed.
The figure was close enough to see each other clearly between the figure and Finn and Lilith.
With the help of dark vision, Lilith opened her pitch-black eyes to see the other party's face clearly, and her eyes as calm as the surface of a lake suddenly flashed with two brief faint waves.
While the warlock girl was startled, the young paladin on the side had the illusion of "am I hallucinating?"
Because of the night vision that comes with dark vision. Like Lilith, he saw the figure emerge from the darkness and it was they who were looking for the elven girl.
But—
In Finn's brown pupils, Arya was wearing only a thin black cloak at this time.
The girl's carcass was limited by the black cloak that covered the skin between her upper body and the base of her thighs, a pair of white long legs stepped barefoot on the dirt of the dagger forest, the slender pointed ears on both sides of her hair seemed to tremble slightly with her bare legs and feet outside the cloak, and the emerald green pupils lost their luster because of what they had experienced.
It's like a dead hole.
"Arya?" Finn's eyes widened, and he stepped forward with the sword in his hand, "What's wrong with you?" Why did you become like this? ”
The young man's words of worry and anxiety carried through the flowing air of the dense forest into the girl's ears.
But Arya's eyes were glazed, and she opened her mouth to say something, but she didn't answer him.
"Arya?" The young paladin had sensed that something was wrong. Immediately took another step forward with his sword.
However, when he took another step, Arya's face immediately showed a look of horror.
She stared at Fein in extreme fear, shook her head, and then turned around and ran.
Seeing that Arya seemed to be deliberately avoiding herself, Finn looked surprised, but then immediately chased after him with a sword without saying a word, and Lilith naturally followed him and ran after him after seeing his reaction.
This is where a new round of chase begins.
The blonde elven girl fled as if she had seen the most terrible monster in the world, her blonde hair scattered and the black cloak she wore on her body fluttering in the wind in the direction of her escape.
The young paladin with an iron sword and the warlock with the staff of the wolf's soul chased after her back, and the distance between them was sometimes shortened. From time to time, it pulls a little, but on the whole, it remains at a balance point where no one can get rid of anyone and no one can catch up with anyone.
Finn didn't know what Arya had been through when she left the camp alone, but he had a hunch. I feel that the culprit of this series of incidents tonight may be about to appear in front of my eyes.
"Wait—"
Suddenly, as he was running, he noticed something else wrong from the vision of a ghost spider.
The ghost spider's location was near where he was at this moment, crawling on the trunk of a tree in the forest.
Through the eyes of the summon, he saw a large-headed monster larger than the Dead Executioner's Executioner emerge from behind an old tree. There was a woman sitting on the shoulders of the strange-looking, bloated, disgusting monster.
The woman had long white hair and wore a long black dress, and raised her hand around the monster's neck.
The woman in the white-haired black dress has a sarcastic smile on her face. He had a face that he was all too familiar with, which made him stunned for half a second and then reacted immediately.
"Poisonous vines?" The young man called out the name in his heart, full of confusion.
What is the Patriarch of the Demon Cult doing here at this time?
For a moment, he suspected that the ghost spider's vision was wrong.
But after all, among the two female patriarchs of the Demon Shepherd Sect, the clown represents the top assassination ability of an era, and the poison vine has the most advanced alchemy knowledge in the Fourth Age.
Follow this clue and analyze it briefly......
"If I'm not mistaken, I remember that the loser seems to be an alchemical creature too?"
Thinking of the wild boss in the dense forest basin, who was known as the rookie killer, Finn's mind suddenly had a feeling of extreme fear.
Then, he immediately realized that he and Lilith had probably fallen into a trap at this point.
And Arya, the role she is playing now is probably nothing more than a manipulated bait to lure him and the Warlock Maiden into the bait!
So-
"Lilith, stop." He hurriedly reminded the warlock girl who was following behind him, constantly hinting in his heart to keep calm, watching Arya's back finally run out of his sight and disappear into the forest, and then took a small step back with his sword and stood with Lilith who was panting to catch up.
"Finn." Lilith steadied her breathing, slowed down to his side, and whispered his name.
"Shhhh......h
Half an hour later, from the other direction in the depths of the dense forest, there was the sound of night birds being frightened.
Finn and Lilith held their breath as they glanced sideways.
In the next second, a cold magic ray "whoosh" pierced through a tall grass in the line of sight of the two of them, aiming at the young man's forehead and rushing over. (To be continued.) )
