Chapter 13: Attacked
"Don't be too nervous, although if the prediction is correct, someone will do it today, but it's not a big problem."
Zhu Lin seemed to be aware of the worries of the girl next to her, and kindly opened her mouth to let her relax her tense nerves.
The previous few days of stability did not make Safili take it lightly, after all, the previous three corpses were not for decoration, this forest was hiding a member of the bellflower, and at any time and could jump out and stab her in the back at any time.
This feeling became stronger the closer the two of them got to Kaom Town, after all, as Zhu Lin analyzed at the beginning, although this forest is not very large, but without an exact direction, it is simply a needle in a haystack to find someone, unless you send a large number of people to search, otherwise under the premise that the number of people does not exceed double digits, as long as the IQ is at a normal level, no one will be stupid enough to ambush in the forest.
That said, there is a great possibility that the enemy will wait for them in their path, which is a bit dirty, but it has to be said that it is indeed quite practical.
It's about a week's journey from the village of Morolo to the town of Kaom, and if you calculate the time, you should be able to reach your destination today, which means that if someone really wants to trouble Safiri, today is the most likely time to do it, after all, once you enter the town, it is not as full of opportunities as the wilderness.
"But the closer I get to Kaom Town, the more uneasy I feel, well, Mr. Riel, you are really calm, worthy of a powerful magician."
Obviously, Zhu Lin's comfort did not make Safili feel much at ease, she still followed closely behind Zhu Lin, and at the same time her eyes kept sweeping around, and her right hand never let go of the hilt of the sword on her waist.
She didn't know what to do, as a magician, Zhu Lin had already released his magic power, and included it in the exploration net within a radius of 100 meters between the two, and he could clearly feel that compared to Safili's suspicious attitude, Zhu Lin, who seemed to have no sense of tension, was actually much more cautious than her.
But of course, it is not a bad thing for Safili to be careful, after all, if she is a Madahar character who doesn't care about anything, it is really enough for Zhu Lin, who protects her, to spit out a mouthful of blood, and just when Safili was accidentally frightened by a tree vine falling from the sky for the seventh time, Zhu Lin, who was watching her angrily pick up the tree vine with a short sword, suddenly raised her eyebrows.
"Oh, did you finally find you?"
ββββββ Dividing Lineββββββ
"Notice, the target has ......"
At the same time as these words were spoken, a middle-aged strong man with a beard on his face carefully bent down again, trying his best to let his body be covered by the surrounding environment.
"I said boss, your reaction is too exaggerated, the target is the dead remnants of the old ghost family of Ferrom, why do you have to deal with such a little girl so seriously?"
It was a tall, thin man who had no one around but him, and beside them lay two black crossbows.
"Tamir, you bastard, will die sooner or later from your damn temper, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, hurry up and lie down for me, if that little girl finds out about our ambush because of you, I'll have to discount your legs when I go back!"
This sentence was full of murderous anger, and the tall and thin man named Tamir also hurriedly laughed and fell beside him.
"Oh, Boss Yorde, why are you angry~ I'm kidding, anyway, we are six or seven hundred meters away from that little girl, how can she find us?"
This flattering sentence only made the big man named Yord snort coldly.
"It doesn't matter if it's exposed, there's no harm in being careful, wait, it's a little wrong, there's someone ...... that little girl around"
As he spoke, Yord took a small telescope from his waist and looked intently at a location in the distance.
"It's true that there is another person, who doesn't look like the little girl's guard, where did this person come from?"
The appearance of an unexpected target made the cautious Yord frown slightly, but Tamir beside him seemed to have no such concerns at all.
"Cut, probably that little girl found out that her guards were dead, so she spent money to rent a bodyguard from somewhere, anyway, it's not that there are no outsiders passing by in this forest, hehe, it just so happens that we have five crossbow arrows left, do you want to kill this guy together?"
For this proposal, Yord still frowned and thought for two seconds, and then nodded silently and said in a calm tone.
"Okay, you have to be clean in your hands and feet, since you want to kill, you can't leave a single live mouth, let's do it, I'm in charge of that little girl, you deal with the other one!"
"Gotta order, boss, you can watch it!"
With that, the two of them picked up the two crossbows at the same time, and the arrows that flashed with a strange dark green light were aimed at the two people in the distance......

"Damn, where are there so many vines in this forest, I hate it, and it scares me......"
Safili, who was frightened by the vines falling from the sky for the seventh time, puffed up her hands and tore off the innocent vines, and then angrily chopped the vines into three pieces with the short sword in her hand, and just when she made this action, Zhu Lin beside her suddenly reached out and pulled her behind her to protect her, and at the same time, her right hand also gently popped out a snap of her fingers.
"Ah, Mr. Riel, this is ......"
Before Sapphiri's words fell, six flaming rockets beside Zhu Lin took shape, and with a single roar, they met the two cold lights flying in the distance, shattering them all in the distance before the two deadly crossbow arrows approached.
It wasn't until the explosion and the fire subsided that Safili came back to her senses, and she subconsciously reached out and grabbed the back hem of Zhu Lin's mage robe, and the whole person hid behind him, looking at the direction where the two crossbow arrows were flying with palpitations.
"I see, is it a long-range attack weapon like a crossbow arrow? Hehe, I'm quite smart~"
If you use a weapon such as a sword, you can't attack without getting close to the enemy, but crossbow arrows are different, and they can effectively exert their lethality even after a few hundred meters, and the biggest advantage of this attack method is that even if they miss a hit, they can quickly retreat with enough distance to find the next opportunity before the enemy comes to their senses......
β¦β¦ Originally, it should be like this
When he noticed that the two people hundreds of meters away got up and wanted to run, Zhu Lin also smiled calmly.
"Huh...... Can you run away? β
The two of Yord have been completely blinded by the development in front of them, Zhu Lin, who was originally thought to be just an unlucky egg, actually conjured six rockets out of thin air, and easily blocked the blow they were originally aiming to win. I immediately got up and wanted to run.
In the panic, neither of them noticed that there was a small silver rune on their bodies, and in the palm of Zhu Lin's right hand, hundreds of meters away, there was a golden rune that was completely opposite to the shape of the rune on their body......
β¦β¦ Magnetic pole marker, activate!
The two of Yorde, who were about to run away, suddenly felt a large exaggerated terrifying suction behind them, which was so strong that they couldn't break free when they moved their bodies with all their might, and when the last trace of resistance was exhausted, the two of them were immediately pulled by this force and their feet floated up from the ground, and flew in the direction of Zhu Lin behind them......
Halfway through, a piece of land that was originally nothing suddenly pulled up, forming a solid earthen wall with a thickness of half a meter, and the two who understood what the other party wanted to do certainly wanted to resist, but their movements were meaningless except for waving their hands and feet weakly in mid-air, and in the end, they could only watch in despair as the earthen wall became closer and closer.
With a crisp sound, the tall and thin man Tamir smashed his whole body firmly on the earthen wall, and on the spot, his body immediately twisted into an exaggerated obtuse angle, blood spurted out of every pore of his body, and when the force of the impact completely dissipated, the silent corpse slowly slipped to the ground.
Yorde, on the other hand, was about to crash into the earthen wall when he was stopped by a soft force, but because of this, he witnessed the whole process of Tamir's tragic death.
The person who stopped him halfway was of course Zhu Lin, who temporarily eliminated the magnetic pole mark on Yolde's body and caught the other party with the tentacles of the wind to save his life.
After doing all this, Zhu Lin walked in front of Yord and raised his right hand, and between his five fingers, a cyan light continued to flash.
With these flashes of light, Yord suddenly felt his whole body tighten, as if an invisible python was firmly entangled in him, and it was still retracting, and the strong oppressive force pressed the air in his lungs out a little bit, and in an instant, his face rose to the color of pig liver.
"Now, I have a few questions for you, and if you answer honestly, I'll let you go, don't think about any tricks, and if your answer makes me find any deception, then ......"
Zhu Lin casually raised his hand and pointed to the cold corpse in front of the earthen wall.
ββ¦β¦ Well, that's the example! What do you think? If you're willing to answer my question, just nod."
Hearing this, Yord could only use all his strength and nodded his head vigorously......
