This forest is more dangerous than mangroves, and ordinary people will never rush into danger. If you can come here, you must have two brushes, and you have to guard against them.

"How many people are on the other side?" An Rui asked matter-of-factly.

"Four to six people, it's still some distance from here, I can't really hear it." Shafi listened intently for a moment before replying.

"It may be a passing adventurer, or it may be a dangerous person, let's be vigilant and pay more attention." An Rui reached out and grabbed the scabbard hanging from his left waist, and the unique coolness of metal spread through his palm.

The source of the footsteps happened to be at the place where An Rui and the two must pass, and the two sides advanced head-on, constantly shortening the distance.

When the distance between the two sides was reduced to only fifty yards, the group finally heard the footsteps of Anrui and the others, and one of them shouted, "Who's there?" ”

Immediately afterward, there was the sound of weapons being drawn and the bowstrings being tightened. It seems that this group of people is more vigilant than An Rui and the others, like a flock of frightened birds.

It's no wonder that this group of people reacted so violently, the legal system in this world is not perfect, there are robbers and pirates everywhere, and it is very dangerous to go out, especially in such barren mountains and mountains.

The thick white fog blocked the sight of both sides, as if it were a magnifying glass, magnifying the uneasiness in the hearts of both sides.

Hearing the sound of gold and iron clashing, An Rui and Sha Fei also drew their weapons and retreated behind the big tree to beware of the other party's cold arrows.

As a last resort, Anrui doesn't want to have a conflict with others, let alone a misunderstanding. He changed his tone to a gentle tone and shouted at the white mist on the other side: "We are just two passers-by, there is no hostility, you don't have to be so nervous." My name is Anrui, and the lady next to me is Shafi, what about you? ”

"We're a bunch of adventurers, just like you. I'm the leader of this group, my name is Berego, and if you're from Irongun, you've probably heard of my name. One of the people on the other side responded, his tone was kind, and his voice was loud and crisp, a man's voice.

Berego ......

An Rui's mind flashed with inspiration, and he remembered something related to the name. Like Shafi, Berego is also an important figure among the Overlords of the Seven Seas, not an ordinary passerby. Of course, this kind of importance only refers to the early days, they are only active in a small area, and they cannot influence the entire pattern of the seven seas.

Beregor is a young elven man, in his early twenties, an archer by profession, level 5, who loves adventure and leadership, and serves as the leader of a small adventure party. If you are willing to pay enough money, you can hire Berego and his party to work.

It was a small coincidence that I was able to meet Berego here.

"Handsome elf, archer with great archery, I have heard your name, and I know you well." After An Rui identified the other party's identity, he shouted loudly.

"So, we're not enemies, are we?" Berego asked tentatively.

"Of course not."

"In that case, we're putting our weapons away, and I hope you'll do the same."

"No problem, I'm not going to raise my sword against my friend." An Rui glanced at Sha Fei beside him, and slowly inserted the long sword into the scabbard, deliberately rubbing it into a slightly sharp sound for Berego's group to hear.

Shafi thrust the scimitar back as well, but her hand did not remove from the hilt.

Soon there was a clanging sound of retracting weapons on the opposite side, and the footsteps sounded again, and Berego and the others walked over with slow but vigilant steps, breaking through the white fog. When the distance between the two sides was only about ten yards, they finally saw each other's figures.

Berego lived up to the name of the elf's beauty, and was extremely handsome, with skin carved from white jade, eyes as black as ink, and a moderate size. The nose is round and round, and the lips are red, like dew-stained petals. The ears are long and sharp, showing the most striking features of the elves. A head of blonde hair was neatly combed, tied into several strands, and draped behind him.

He was dressed in a sleek suit, his clothes were very tight, he wore a leather waistcoat on his upper body, and he carried a bow and arrow and quiver behind his back. He had suffered minor injuries, his clothes and pants were torn in several places, and through the torn clothes, he could see bandages and red blood.

At Berego's side, he was accompanied by four of his men, who were not elves, but humans. It is not uncommon for different races to come together, and after the development of the seafaring industry, the various races have become more and more interconnected, and the gap between them has become smaller and smaller.

The four men, who were also armed, were also wounded, and one of them was so badly wounded that his entire left leg was gone, and his trouser leg was covered in blood, and he needed help to walk.

It can be seen that Berego and others have encountered some trouble before, resulting in injuries to all members.

"Those are scratches, and they seem to have been attacked by large monsters." An Rui's eyes narrowed slightly, swept around the wounds on Berego and the others, and muttered in a low voice. Those wounds were all three or even four wounds arranged in parallel, slightly curved, and it looked like some kind of large monster was quickly grabbed by its claws, but I don't know what this kind of large monster is.

Shafi nodded slightly, agreeing with the guess.

"Opposite, we've put away our weapons, so there's no need for you to hide behind a tree, do you?" Berego stopped, looked at An Rui and the two standing behind the tree, and asked as if squeezing.

"It's cooler behind the tree." Anrui casually joked and walked out from behind the tree with Sophie. Berego is not a bad guy, there is no need to be too nervous, even if the two sides do make a move, the strength of the two of them is enough to deal with it. Although his strength is mediocre, Sha Fei is a true level 10 warrior.

Berego looked at An Rui and the others vigilantly, and then asked, "Why are you two here?" ”

"We're on our way, and here's a shortcut." Anrui replied ambiguously.

"Don't go any further, it's dangerous here, hurry up and go back the way you came, and then find another way forward."

"Are you in trouble in the woods?"

"Yes," Berego reluctantly admitted, with a dark expression, "we have encountered a Weasel King, several times the size of a regular Weasel and incredibly fast, with claws capable of easily smashing through iron shields. We were originally a seven-man adventuring party, and it killed two of them. We are no match for the Weasel King, having only shot it blind in one eye. ”

"Weasel King?" An Rui was slightly stunned, a little surprised.

The Weasel King is a variant of the Weasel that is very large and has a much higher level than the normal Weasel at level 7. This kind of monster is very strong, and there is only one in the entire misty forest, which is the king of the weasels, leading many weasels. On weekdays, the Weasel King will stay in the lair, rarely go out and wander around, and the probability of encountering it is extremely low, which is almost like buying a lottery ticket.

Berego and the others actually met the Weasel King here, which is really unlucky.

"Your plight is sympathetic." An Rui Zhengse said.

"We don't need your cheap sympathy." Berego frowned slightly, and waved his hand inexplicably, "This is our business, it has nothing to do with you, the reason why I tell you is just to give you a reminder, so that you can quickly return the way you came, and don't stay here." It's likely that the Weasel King is lurking around here, and if you run into it, you're in trouble. ”

"Thank you for the reminder, but we don't plan to go back the way we came. That Weasel King was dangerous, but it wasn't enough to scare us away, and even if we did, I think the two of us would be able to handle it. Instead, you have to be careful, you have been wounded, your strength has been reduced, and you have shot the Weasel King in the eye, which must have angered him. The Weasel King will not rest on his laurels, and will most likely follow the scent to kill you and avenge the blind. ”

"You won't go?" Berego asked in an accentuated tone, as if he thought he had misheard.

"Yes, we will not go, but we will continue to hurry." An Rui shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Looks like you don't take the Weasel King seriously at all. Tell you, you're joking with life. If you two can get here, you must have killed a lot of Weasels, but the Weasel King is much more powerful than ordinary Weasels, and the two are not the same. Our adventuring group was able to face the siege of twenty Weasel at once, but it could not deal with one Weasel King, and was defeated to the ground. If you want to live, go back the way you came, and if you want to die, go on. ”

"Of course we want to live, but ...... We still have to move on. It's still the same sentence, thank you for the reminder, we understand your kindness. Anrui said as sincerely as he could.

"Forget it." Berego's brows furrowed even tighter, and he shook his head impatiently, "I'm too lazy to talk to you, it's your own business whether you listen to persuasion or not, since you're not afraid of the Weasel King, then keep going, and when you meet it, you'll know how powerful it is." Brothers, let's go, leave these two alone. He said the rest to his companions.

An Rui smiled wryly, it seemed that his decision was regarded as an act of seeking death. But in fact, he and Sha Fei together, there is really no need to be afraid of the Weasel King, even if they are unlucky enough to meet Lu.

Berego didn't bother to listen to An Rui's explanation, and led his four injured subordinates to walk past An Rui's side. One of them was probably more **, and when he passed by, he peeked at Sha Fei a few times, but he didn't do anything superfluous.

"Let's go too." An Rui didn't have the mood to talk nonsense, nodded slightly at Sha Fei, stepped out, and continued to hurry. Shafi followed him.

The two sides went against each other and gradually distanced themselves. When the two sides were about to be blocked by the fog, someone on Berego's side suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then turned back and shouted, "Hey, this friend, do you remember the way back?" I'm referring to the way back to Ironcannon Harbor. ”
