Chapter 220: The Wind Chimes Echoing in the Forest (1)

As a border city, Runmaran isn't even a city, just a village, so he has little to attract players. Basically, unless it's because of the quest, very few players will run to the area of Runmaran, even players from the Elven Empire.

Because there is almost nothing to attract players from Runmaran and the surrounding elven villages, if there are tens of thousands of players in Runmaran, maybe the elves will lose even less. But in fact, there are only a dozen players in the entire Runmaran combined, and there are only Chen Kai and their group. In the past month, the total number of players who have come to Runmaran is less than one slap except for Chen Kai, that is, no more than five people.

It's better if it's the beginning of the game, many players like to wander around, and maybe run to Runmaran, but over time some players have changed from wanderers to regular residents. At the same time, the player's level has gradually slowed down over time, and although there are still a large number of players who will run around the continent in order to complete missions and adventures, Runmaran will definitely not be the destination for these players.

Even Chen Kai and the others were just passers-by to Runmaran, and after a little rest for a day, they finally left the village in the morning mist, and slowly set foot on the road to the elven empire with the injured elven mage Sulace in an elven carriage. Negrim, the Demon Knight, ended up staying at Runmaran, as he wanted to travel to Terramis to find the Demon Queen after recovering from his injuries. Chen Kai and the others didn't have any opinion on this, but they knew very well that it was basically impossible for Negrim to find the Demon Queen, because he simply didn't have the ability to search through those ancient relics.

The swaying carriage slowly left the village full of sorrow in the morning mist, and Chen Kai and his group of dozens of people formed a small team and moved on the road. Above their heads, a patrol of a dozen horned eagles was patrolling the sky along the road, to prevent the escaped dark knights and evil creatures from attacking the other villages. These villages, located on the outskirts of the Denzel Forest, sent out rescue to distant towns, and at the same time organized all the strong men themselves to form a flying force that could rescue other villages at any time with the help of the Horned Hippogriff.

When Chen Kai and the others stayed in Runmaran to rest, almost every minute, several horned eagle beasts chirped in the sky and then flapped their wings across the sky, but this kind of continuous patrol was a great burden for both the horned eagle beasts and those elves. Therefore, Chen Kai estimated that such patrols would not last long, unless the elves wanted to die of exhaustion. In fact, the best thing to do is to send troops to find the dark knights and evil creatures and destroy them completely, but obviously the elves don't have the strength. In the face of the monstrous evil dragons with huge vitality and extremely terrifying vitality, unless those huge mountain giants are mobilized from the fortress of the Elven Empire or the imperial capital, they may be able to confront these evil dragons head-on. The problem is that it will take several months to mobilize from the fortress of the Elven Empire or the Elven Emperor Capital, and the mountain giants are not necessarily the opponents of these evil dragons, after all, the largest mountain giants are also more than seven meters tall, so they don't have any advantages at all in terms of size.

The most important thing is that the total number of mountain giant troops in the entire Elven Empire is not more than 1,000, because the entire population of the entire mountain giant tribe is only more than 3,000. As one of the relics of the legendary Titans, the reproduction ability of the mountain giants is inversely proportional to their size and combat effectiveness, and the larger the size, the higher the combat power, the worse the reproductive ability. So is the Elven Empire willing to throw its few mountain giants into a battle that can cause a lot of damage, and still enter the dangerous forest of Denzel to search for enemies. The most important thing is that even if the upper echelons of the Elven Empire agree to mobilize troops, it will take at least a month to two months. If those evil creatures were to escape, it would be enough time for them to run from the Elven Empire to the Rohan Empire.

The most important thing is that there are not only those evil dragons in the Denzel Forest, but also unknown ancient civilizations, and so far the elves do not know whether these ancient relics are friends or foes. Fortunately, the elves knew that the enemies who attacked them were not the remnants of the ancients, because Chen Kai provided evidence that Barbat had been chasing them here from the Hansting Empire, and it could be said that half of the tragedy of Runmaran was caused by Chen Kai and them. Of course, it is a little arbitrary to say such a thing, after all, Barbat is not looking for Chen Kai and them, but for Nero Ailu's trouble, and why is Barbat staring at Nero Ailu and not putting it in Chen Kai's opinion, the other party probably always thinks that the body of the evil god is still on Nero Ailu.

So in fact, Chen Kai was a little ashamed when they left Runmaran, but he didn't know the relationship between Barbat and Runmaran. If he knew, maybe the guilt in his heart would be much lessened. As Chen Kai slowly rode on Ral's back, Mana Shadow Song was in a hysterical madness in the Denzel Forest, because a voice kept ringing in her head, telling her to save a demon.

"Nope! I'm not going, who are you. Get out of my head! Get lost! This is my body!! Awakened from a nightmare, Manna Shadow Song waved her moon blade, as if she saw a black shadow pleading towards her.

"Shadow Song-sama! Shadow Song-sama! What happened to you? Nirna shouted loudly at Mana Shadowsong, who was caught in the demon and suddenly came to her senses when she heard a scream, and the moon blade in her hand was less than an inch away from the head of an elven thief.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Manna Shadow Song stared blankly at the elf who was almost slashed by herself. Then he began to apologize to the other party constantly, but the elf was frightened by the Mana Shadow Song for a long time and didn't react. It wasn't until Gara, the elven scout on the side, pushed him that he sat down on the ground.

"No... It's okay! Shadow Song-sama. I'm fine! The elf sitting on the ground looked at Mana Shadow Song a little frightened, but still trembled and said that he was fine, of course, if the knife was swung a little faster, his head would have moved now.

"I'm sorry!" Mana Shadow Song continued to talk, because she was about to be driven crazy by the dark shadow woman in her mind, but she didn't understand why the others had nothing to do with her, and she was the strongest.

"What happened to Shadow Song?" Everyone could see that Mana Shadow Song's situation was wrong at the moment, but they didn't know what happened to each other, and at this moment, Manna Shadow Song, who was gradually rescuing her voice, faced the problems of several elves, but it was difficult to talk about it all of a sudden, because she couldn't say that she was scared when she was sleeping. But it turned out to be the case, and the voice of the dark woman in her head haunted her like a nightmare. Her spirits began to lose and she even hallucinated.

"Sorry! I don't know what's going on, but I think it would be better to get out of the forest sooner! Garna: How long will it take for us to get out of the forest? Mana Shadow Song pulled the hair from her forehead, wiped her face lightly, and asked the elven scout in front of her.

"At least seven more days!" Garna whispered, though they were moving fast enough, they were leaving the forest even slower than they had been to Teramis, for they had few weapons in their hands and had to rely on Mana Shadow Song in case of danger. But now the situation of Mana Shadow Song is not very good, so once you encounter an enemy, you can only choose to hide.

"Seven days? I hope I can hold on! Mana Shadow Song said softly, the last few words were very soft and only she could hear, there was no doubt that at this moment, Mana Shadow Song was about to be driven crazy by the black shadow woman in her mind. She thought that the sound was caused by entering the Denzel Forest, and that she could recover as soon as she left the forest.

If Mana Shadow Song were a warlock who was proficient in soul power, then she would know what that voice in her head was. Who is the dark shadow woman who appeared in front of her in her sleep, but unfortunately she is not. So she didn't know that even if she left the Denzel Forest, the nightmare that haunted her would not go away.

When Mana Shadow Song began to look at the dark forest in a daze, about fifty kilometers from Runmaran Village in the direction of the Denzel Forest, the Dark Knight, who was controlled by Sabenin, and the evil creatures and dragons controlled by Yabora were really pitted, and there was no doubt that they both wanted to take the leadership of the entire legion. As their self-consciousness gradually awakens, the two monsters understand that they can only survive if they are more powerful.

However, they both knew that they would definitely strike first, because if they fought each other before, they might be able to swallow up each other's forces after winning the battle, but they would also lose a large part of their manpower as a result. A situation in which the power has already been weakened. If they continue to weaken because of the struggle between the two parties, then they will basically lose the possibility of gaining a foothold in this world.

"Humph! Sabernin, it's too late to lay down your arms and surrender to me! Hum! Yabora, who had a pig's head, waved the huge battle axe in his hand and said to Sabenin, who had grown accustomed to his current body, and often spoke with the sound of a pig calling.

"Get out! Yabora, you pig who only wags his tail at Barbat and begs for mercy, if you want to surrender, you will surrender to me! Sabernin brandished the weapon in his hand. In terms of combat effectiveness, he can throw out a few streets of Yabora, but the problem is that the troops under his command are only one-third of the opponent's.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of the troops led by the tiger and the troops led by a pig cannot be compared, because Sa Beining controls most of the evil dragons or most of the evil dragons have dark knights on their backs, so Yabora is quite jealous of Sa Beining. One side is strong in combat. There were a large number of people on one side, and in such a state of mutual jealousy, the direct verbal threats of Sabenin and Yabora continued for a full hour. It's just that because both sides are monsters, their subordinates didn't laugh at the two leaders' repeated words of lack of nutrition and threats.

Yan Sรน's anger was transmitted before Yabora and Sabenin. But apparently there are some that do not want the two sides to continue to be strict, just as Yabora and Sabenin continue to threaten each other. A huge ball of magma fell from the sky and smashed into the evil creatures behind Yabora, and then a huge Baror Flame Demon stepped out of the forest quickly.

"Surrender on your knees or die!!" The fire demon's voice was filled with an irresistible majesty, and the raging flames in his body were mixed with a glimmer of invisible green flames, and there was no doubt that this was a newly found thug in the main material plane by Balbat's demon master. Relative to Barbat, this new fighter is strong in combat, and most importantly it is a demon. There are many ways to control the demon, the former demon master of Balbat, and the most important thing is that it can get the news of another demon master, that is, Disgama, through the other party. In fact, when it came time to acquire this new fighter, this demon master standing behind Barbat couldn't believe that his luck would be so good.

"Get out! Dare to make the great Lord Yabora surrender, you count that onion! Looking at the Barlow Flame Demon who was taunting the area, Yabora chose to attack without hesitation. If he and Sabenin failed in their negotiations. He can choose to surrender to the other party, after all, how can the two sides also be monsters born from the same source, but let him surrender a strange demon who escaped, he will never agree. After all, there were a large number of subordinates behind him, but he didn't expect that as soon as he launched a verbal counterattack against the other party, he was blown away by an exploding fireball.

"Surrender! Or die! Yabora, who was scorched in the flames, screamed in the flames, and the fiery voice of the fire demon sounded in his ears again, and at the same time, there was a special soul pull that made him even more painful, and there was no doubt that it was the method that Barbat's demon master had found out from Barbat's soul to control Yabora and Sabenin. This method allows the fire demon to control the monsters created by the two evil forces effortlessly, but it is not only the fire and the fighting Barlow fire demon in his head did not use this method for the first time, but taught the unconvinced guy a hard lesson, which made people feel terrified in trembling.

In the end, the two evil monsters who originally wanted to fight among themselves to determine the ownership of power became someone else's men, and Yabora, whose body was charred at least 90 percent, almost like a roast pig, was carried slowly by those evil creatures in the Denzel Forest. Not far from Yabora is Sabenin, who has not been harmed in any way. Unlike the hapless Yabora, who was treated as a typical repair, Sabenin raised his hand and surrendered the moment the other party appeared, so he did not suffer any damage. Therefore, while Yabora was suffering, Sabenin followed the rear of the group with his head bowed and his weapon in tow.

At this moment, the two demon monsters no longer have any idea of being the boss, because they found that the shackles that had disappeared not long ago had reappeared, which meant that they were now in the hands of this Baro Fire Demon in front of them, both physically and mentally. I am very puzzled by the two evil spirit monsters, because Barbat, who originally controlled them, is undoubtedly dead, and at this time, the two monsters reacted, if the contract that controlled them was not transferred at that time, there is no doubt that they would die with the death of Barbat's soul, and even if they did not die, their strength would have plummeted because of this, instead of almost no damage as now. There is no doubt that it was because of the transfer of the contract that the two evil spirits and monsters survived.

But the two guys weren't grateful to the guy who manipulated their contract. On the contrary, they hated it in their hearts, because without this contract, they would now be free and not be slaves to the devil. It's a pity that Yabora and Sa Beining, who couldn't help themselves, could only sigh at the moment, slowly watching the forest around them retreat behind them.

Mana Shadow Song and the others didn't know that the biggest obstacle preventing them from returning to Runmaran now was not the ancient remnants behind them, but the demons who were occupying the border of the Denzel Forest at the moment. Collected all the demonic remnants scattered in the forest. The manpower in the hands of this Baro Flame Demon has expanded to tens of thousands. Among them, there are thousands of demons alone, while the other four or five thousand are polluted people scattered in the forest, and the more numerous are low-level cannon fodder, that is, forest monsters.

Of course, these cannon fodder monsters and polluted people were soon mutated by the evil forces again, and under the control of the Baro Flame Demon, Yabola's chubby body was directly pressed into human stem. All the evil forces are squeezed out to create evil spirit monsters. The bodies of the forest monsters and the tainted that had been transformed by demonic power changed again, and the bodies of the tainted became larger, and at the same time, they directly grew offensive weapons, and the forest monsters changed even more. Not to mention that the size has directly doubled, and even the image of the original monster has changed. For these monsters, the most they eat is those alienated insects in the forest, so some monsters directly turn into weird half-human, half-worm-like monsters.

However, such monsters are not strange to Sabenin, because there were quite a few of them in Barbat's evil spirit army in the beginning, but most of them ended up being turned into food. At the same time as the mutation of these monsters began, the devouring of each other never stopped, and when the bloody scene ended, the total number of troops of the Barlow Flame Demon did not increase, even if the dark knight and evil spirit troops that originally belonged to Balbat were added, there were still only about 10,000 troops, but the overall strength had at least doubled.

With its huge power, the Balor Flame Demon had actually become a new threat to the northeast of the Elven Empire, and they were still ignorant of the many elven villages on the edge of the forest at the moment, and Chen Kai and the others had begun to enter the first elven town they had seen in the territory of the Elven Empire.
