The next morning, when dawn fell, the sun reappeared in the sky, and the light fell on the earth.

But the Forest of Shadows is still shrouded in shadows, untouched by the outside world, just like another world immersed in shadows.

A convoy of chambers of commerce was slowly moving forward a short distance outside the forest, presumably passing through the Shadow Forest and heading to the next city, because the Shadow Forest was so large that if it were to be detoured, it would be necessary to bypass a mountain range.

"What happened to that Shadow Forest, I heard that the paladins and those mercenaries sent in by the temple have died......"

"I don't know, maybe something strange happened inside, and I don't know what terrible demon that necromancer Millard has summoned, I heard that the paladin died a terrible death, and his head was cut off, it's terrible!"

The two mercenaries who were walking in front of the caravan on horseback couldn't help but look at the forest not far away, their eyes flashing with a hint of fear and talking.

Their mission was to escort the convoy of the Sun Chamber of Commerce through the Forest of Shadows, from the city of Denel to the emerald city of Shankepos, a very difficult task.

However, the night before the departure, news circulated throughout the territory of Denel that the army that had conquered the necromancer Millard had been wiped out, including the paladin from the Templars.

The news was so shocking that it spread in Denel in an instant, and eventually even the Temple confirmed the authenticity of the news.

Unbeknownst to them, the necromancer Millard had died, killed by Roland, an obscure priest.

In a few moments, they entered the Forest of Shadows, and the dimness of it made them feel very uncomfortable, especially the rancid and damp smell that made their noses very uncomfortable.

"Look, what's that? It looks like a monster has rushed out of the Forest of Shadows, and they're coming in our direction, be on alert! ”

Suddenly, one of the mercenaries saw a commotion in the jungle, and four huge monsters rushed out, roaring and running wildly, as if they had been crushed by a storm.

In front of the four monsters, a figure in a white robe was running, and suddenly, the figure in a priest's robe became a little slower, and seemed to have no strength to run.

It was a fatal slowdown, as the monster behind him had almost caught up with the priest, just over a meter away from devouring his body.

And the figure in the priest's robe is Roland who left the underground city, and after a period of exploration, he still failed to leave the Shadow Forest.

He's lost, and even more unfortunate he's been targeted by four level 10 monsters.

Luckily, he got a few useful cards in the Underground City, such as the Wall of Fireworks, which had already helped him escape several deadly attacks, otherwise he would have been dead.

"Damn, isn't it a cheat? Why are you still chasing it for so long...... Nima also chased...... Kill you scum all at once! ”

Roland looked back at the monsters chasing after him, and resolutely made a decision in his heart, that is, to use the [Bomb Trap] to deal with the monsters behind him.

At this point, those monsters have gathered in a certain area, and if you use that card, it is very likely that they will be wiped out.

"Die, you bastards!"

Immediately, Roland immediately used the [Bomb Trap], and in an instant, an invisible energy shot out from his palm, sinking into the ground, and a gentle breeze swept away, instantly covering a circular area of 200 meters in diameter.

You may not be able to see it with the naked eye, but if someone were able to dig through the area, they would find that there were a lot of mines buried under the dirt.

At this time, in order not to be affected by the explosion range, Roland still ran forward desperately, because he didn't know how powerful these mines were, and if he stood too close, he was likely to injure himself.

"It seems that there is another man there, a priest, shall we save him?"

"You're looking for death, that priest is dead, and you're looking for death when you go up, such a huge group of monsters............"

One mercenary wanted to save Roland, but was stopped by his companions, and before the other mercenary could finish speaking, a subtle change occurred in the distance.

Suddenly, the monsters seemed to sense the dangerous breath in the air and wanted to brake and stop, but the momentum of the sprint still carried them forward.

In an instant, one of their feet was already on the ground that had been swept by the breeze, and with a dripping sound, it was as if a needle was jumping.

The world seemed to be quiet at this moment, and the next second, there was a sudden earth-shattering bang, and even the ground trembled.

"Oh my God, what's going on!"

Suddenly, everyone in the caravan looked at the remarkable explosion site, only to see that fierce flames continued to pour out of the ground, devouring the four huge monsters in an instant, and a huge mushroom cloud was raised!

But the explosion didn't end there, the aftermath of the explosion carried the scorching flames in all directions, and some tall trees were uprooted, and the flames instantly turned them into a huge pillar of fire.

Even the mercenaries, who were far away, felt the powerful wave of qi and stared at the strange explosion in front of them in amazement.

"Oh my God, how could there be such a strong explosion, but...... That guy was consumed by that flame! ”

"Well, unless you are a strong person who has reached the silver level, you will definitely not be able to survive the explosion...... It's okay, it's okay, everyone continues to move on the same route, and don't let your guard down. ”

All the mercenaries were talking about the unlucky guy who had just been chased by the monster, and the one who had just been blown up to death, which was really tragic.

"Wait, look...... That guy isn't dead yet! ”

Suddenly, a voice of surprise came from the crowd.

I saw that after the explosion dissipated, the ground became pitch black, and fierce flames burned all around, and a huge crater appeared at the center of the explosion, with a diameter of more than 200 meters, and the hideous cracks continued to spread around.

And Roland's figure stood unharmed on the explosion site, although he looked a little wolf, but he did not lose his life because of the explosion just now.

"Ahem, ahem,, I didn't expect it to be so powerful, I almost died there......"

At this time, Roland took a deep breath of hot air, looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

The power of these mines' concentrated explosions is fantastic, I'm afraid it is not inferior to the strongest blow of a magician of more than thirty levels.

And fortunately, he immediately used the [Wall of Fireworks] when it exploded, which resisted most of the impact, and the Davion priest's robe on his body also had a certain amount of holy light as a buffer, which avoided injury.

As for the four monsters, they should have been completely killed by the explosion just now, which also brought him more than a hundred experiences.

But the four corpses were then blown up completely, leaving nothing behind, and it is estimated that even if they went to search there, they would not even see the corpses.

"Huh? Is that a passing caravan? It's a bit far from the nearby city, so maybe I can catch a ride. ”

Suddenly, Roland noticed a caravan parked in the distance, and because it was a little far away, he couldn't see the sign of the caravan.

Maybe...... This caravan knows how to get out of this forest!

Immediately, the idea of asking for directions for this caravan came to Roland's mind, and without much thought, he immediately ran in the direction of the caravan.

"That'...... Who the hell is that guy? ”

But he didn't expect that the mercenary on the opposite side instantly became lively, and the moment just now surprised these passing mercenaries, and the guy who thought he was dead was actually standing in front of them alive, as if he was not injured, he ran towards them as if he was not injured.

And Roland didn't even get his priest's robe dirty, and he didn't look like someone who had just escaped death from a huge explosion.

"He's coming to us, all of us are on guard, no one is allowed to attack without permission!"

Suddenly, the mercenary leader walked to the front and gave orders to the other mercenaries with a solemn expression.

In his opinion, Roland, who was able to survive that explosion, was definitely not weak, and they must not act rashly until they were sure of the other party's intentions.

After a long time, Roland, who was dragging his tired body, finally came to the caravan.

Looking up, I saw a middle-aged man riding a horse, wearing gorgeous knight's armor, and carrying a huge shield behind him.

This guy looks like he's supposed to be the leader of these guys, and it's not that simple.

"Hello, where are you going?"

Roland tried his best to make himself appear innocent, and whispered to the middle-aged knight.

"Pastor? …… Hello, we're heading to the Emerald City, but there's a question, are you the priest who followed that paladin into the Forest of Shadows some time ago? ”

After discovering that Roland was wearing a priest's robe, the middle-aged knight looked a little shocked, and immediately linked Roland to the annihilation of the paladin team some time ago.

Suddenly, a trace of vigilance flashed in Roland's heart, before this, those mercenaries were all dead, if the news of his life spread, I am afraid it will cause a lot of trouble.

He immediately disguised a look of happiness on his face and said, "No...... Of course not, I was just lost, and as soon as I entered the forest, I was targeted by four terrible monsters, and thank God, they seemed to have run into some dwarven trap. ”

"So, I'm the leader of the Wolf Mercenary Regiment, Carter! Mr. Priest, one of our mercenary group was injured, and I thought that I would have to go to the Emerald City to invite a priest, but I didn't expect to meet you, Mr. Priest...... Can you treat him? ”

The middle-aged knight took a deep look at Roland, and when he saw that Roland's face was still unmoved, he immediately said the reward this time.

"Of course...... If you can help us, I will be able to pay some silver coins in return, and if you get lost in this forest, Mr. Priest, we will be able to take you to the Emerald City, which you will be going to next. ”

"I'd love to serve you, Captain Carter, my name is Roland."

The look on Captain Carter's face didn't seem to be a lie, and suddenly a hint of surprise flashed on Roland's face, and he immediately agreed to the mercenary captain's invitation.

The purpose of his coming here was to ask if he could take a ride, but he didn't expect the head of the regiment to take the initiative, and this deal was not exactly what he wanted.

And as far as he knew, the Emerald City was not very far from the Valley of the Dead, and it only took a few days to reach the canyon full of the undead, which was his destination.

"Great, he must be very keen to be treated immediately, Pastor Roland, please come with me!"

A hint of joy flashed on Captain Carter's face, and he patted Roland's shoulder excitedly, and said boldly.
