Ignoring the jungle scenery that swept backwards on either side of his body, Vincent rode a two-horned horse and ran side by side with Ace down the road.

Vincent's sudden acceleration and approach didn't scare Ace, but rather startled Lily beneath her. It immediately jumped to the side away from Vincent, quickly closing the distance between it and Vincent. After completing this series of actions, Lily continued to run, turning her head and baring her teeth, her eyes glaring at Vincent fiercely, and she was indignant at the sight.

Seeing Lily's temper so irritable for the first time, Ace quickly leaned down and reached out to stroke Lily's furry head to calm her emotions as much as possible.

"What's wrong? Lily. ”

However, Ace, who had calmed Lily for a while, still saw Lily grinning at Vincent, like... It was like a very frightened Vincent who was looking at her from beginning to end. Especially when Vincent's gaze rested on her tail, his body trembled violently and uncontrollably, so that Ace quickly turned her head and looked at Vincent anxiously.

"Maybe it's because I've killed so many monsters!"

Vincent chuckled as he feigned ignorance, and quickly withdrew Ace's imperceptible psychic perception. He didn't mean to embarrass Lily, but he was curious how Ace, a stalker, could become Lily's master.

[Is it some kind of secret method that I can't perceive?!]

Vincent was puzzled, he had used his mental power to scan Lily's whole body quite brutally, but he still couldn't get the result he wanted, and Lily seemed to him as a wild Moon Shadow leopard in his perception, and there was no spiritual connection with Ace.

In response to Vincent's answer, Ace touched Lily, who was still afraid of Vincent, after her mood was stable, and her turquoise eyes looked at her distressedly, and said in a hesitant tone, "Is it? Lily wasn't so timid before?"

After all, Ace is not a ranger or a magician, an illusionist. The former is to communicate with the mind by establishing a psychic connection with a companion, while the latter is to directly invade the demon's psychic power and forcibly ask the other party to communicate with him.

"Then I don't know why. Vincent shrugged his right shoulder, indicating that he couldn't help it.

Just as Ace was wrestling with Lily's unusual behavior today, Lily twisted and turned into the dense jungle on the left side of the road. When Vincent saw Lily running towards the forest, he also drove his horse to follow Lily's pace and burrow into the dense forest.

To be honest, Vincent was reluctant to ride into the woods, especially in this dense forest, which was all not tall or short, with an average height of less than ten meters, which was really unfriendly to Vincent, who was close to four meters tall after riding a two-horned horse.

Tree trunks, branches, and vines are all obstacles that cannot be ignored in the way, and Vincent, who plays the role of Ranger, cannot be the face of Ace, unleashing magic to open up a smooth path.

As for dismounting and walking, it is even more unrealistic, why do you, a fifth-order ranger, rely on the speed of walking to catch up with Ace riding the Moon Shadow Leopard?

Vincent, however, found that his previous considerations were entirely self-inflicted, and that Lily had chosen a very strange route to run without the slightest obstacle. Almost all the trees and vines in the path seemed to have received some kind of order, and avoided the passage as much as possible, as if they were an army under the command of someone.

Vincent, who was not seeing this scene for the first time, immediately had a term in his mind, the glory of the guardian of nature.

Vincent quickly thought of the court elder in Ace's mouth, and asked in a loud voice:

"Is this because of your elder of the court?"

"Yes, only the elder who has followed the rules of the self-disciplined faction all his life will be able to receive the present gift of the plants. ”

Even in the midst of constantly facing forward and speeding forward, Ace, who is an elf, can still hear Vincent's question, not to mention that Vincent increased his voice to prevent her from hearing.

[None of the self-defending factions, especially those who are pious enough to show their glory, are easy to get along with.] ］

Vincent shook his head secretly, the self-defended faction can be said to be the largest and most stubborn conservative in the elven clan, he can pay more attention later, but don't be categorically rejected without saying a word.

As if thinking of the dilemma after the high probability of that scene, Vincent first shuddered, and then hurriedly shook his head, expelling the ominous thought from his mind. At the same time, he silently thought in his heart that he must calm down, but don't fall out with that elf on the spot, otherwise, how can he find the shadow void core in the vast forest sea!

......

"It's almost over, the path of glory left by the elders is almost coming to an end. ”

With Vincent and Ace running at a speed of nearly ten meters per second, and running for nearly twenty minutes, Ace reminded Vincent that his destination was approaching.

"Well, I'm ready. ”

Vincent replied to Ace in a very serious tone, and at the same time, he closed his eyes and sensed the other two-horned pony, that is, the Gu ti wei of the two of Vinsie.

[It's almost five minutes away from me.] ］

After confirming his position, Vincent's eyes snapped open, his eyes filled with hunger and thirst for the battle that was coming.

The thought that he was about to use the longbow in battle, and that it was the first time he had used it as a ranger, made his blood flow uncontrollably.

At the same time, the two of them maintained a constant speed, unhurriedly and unhurriedly behind Vincent.

Seeing Avela, who had been dozing off since she got on the horse, she raised her hands with sleepy eyes, gently rubbed her big sapphire-like eyes with the back of her hand, and then stretched out a big lazy waist, as if she had finally woken up. Avinsy then lifted Avira up with both hands, made her turn to face her, and then looked down at Avella's eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Avella, when did you make an agreement with Lord Vincent to act like that, uh, and like that." ”

Avancy's tone sounded the same as usual, but for some reason, Avra subconsciously shrunk her neck. It seemed that the person in front of her, who had taken off her hood and lowered her head slightly, and most of her face was shrouded in shadows, was terrifying, especially when she looked down at herself, which made her shiver even more.

Out of a strong survival instinct, Avella hurriedly explained, and spoke so fast that ordinary people couldn't hear clearly: "No, I made my own decisions, and Lord Vincent didn't discuss anything with me in private. I had read a few books written by humans about knightly heroes, so when I saw Lord Vincennes do something like that, I followed it for fun......"

As she spoke, Avella's excited voice grew quieter and quieter, until it was so small that even Vensie could barely hear her. And the reason why Avella's voice is getting quieter and quieter is not because of self-blame for her actions, but because after she suddenly recalled her exaggerated behavior at that time, the whole person did not dare to speak out due to a strong sense of shame.

When Avinsie saw that Avira had finally reacted and was about to touch her head to comfort her. Avella suddenly raised her little head again, looked at herself with a flushed face, her eyes pretended to be firm, and she whispered in a very uncertain tone: "Sister Avensi, I won't be laughed at by Lord Vincent and May!"

"I don't know if Mei is still asleep in Lord Vincent's body, and if not, you must beg her to help you keep it a secret. But I don't think I should worry too much, Mei is not the kind of person who likes to go around and publicize her troubles. ”

Seeing that Avella looked pitiful and small, Avancy took her into her arms and comforted her softly, before continuing: "As for Lord Vincent, you don't have to worry too much, his demeanor is much more exaggerated than yours. I'm afraid it's not you who asked him, but he begged us to keep it a secret!"

"yes!"

With her face buried in Avessie, Avira said sullenly, her tone no longer as uneasy as before.

On the other side, inside the cave.

Four elves, dressed in nearly identical attire, sat around a monster cub that hummed in pain from time to time, discussing their next move with a sad face.

"What to do, Captain, it seems that those monsters will not stop until they kill this poor little one. ”

The elf, the youngest of the four elves, caressed the cub who had lost all his blood relatives and became the last wisp of blood in the clan, whispering in tears. But in the end, the tears that she had been holding back in her eyes still fell, fell on the slightly dry ground, and seeped into it at once, leaving only a slightly abrupt dark trace.

The other two elves, who were also young, were moved to tears when they saw this, but they were not only poor and dying cubs, but also grieved for their own unknowable future.

"It's okay, the sisters in the station have received our call for help, and the elders and sisters will definitely not give up on us. ”

The eldest of the four elves, as the leader of their squad, she comforted softly, as a battle-hardened fourth-order stalker, she was not worried about their current situation. The monsters drove them to this cave but surrounded them without killing them, perhaps there was a bigger conspiracy, and that was what she was really worried about.

She was afraid that something would happen to the sisters who came to their rescue, and she was even more afraid that the enemy was acting for some of the reasons they feared most.

It's just that she really doesn't want to give up her life and her teammates so easily, and give up this monster cub who has become an orphan.

She gently stroked the puppy-like cub, feeling the soft touch of its bright silver fluff, and secretly made up her mind.

[If it doesn't work, I'll act as the villain and kill this cub and see what happens to the mastermind.] ］

[Even if you die, I won't let you succeed.] ］

[All for the Mother Tree]

As if sensing the resolute determination of the elven squad leader, there was a commotion in the team of monsters of various races gathered outside the cave.

And their even more, the scattered elf rescue team surrounded those monsters, but for some reason, they didn't immediately come to the rescue.
