From the very beginning we thought that our target was some kind of lower animal, but now we realize that this is a very intelligent creature, or a group. Obviously, there is more than one opponent, and the opponent's intelligence level is high enough to specify the plan and cooperate with each other.

"The tank kills it." I gave the order to drop the target to the tank, and I took two and a half months back to support the Roses.

When I jumped out from behind the tree, it was already very chaotic, a group of reddish-brown creatures were fighting with the roses, and one of them was chasing the roses. Rose was running away in panic, but the monster jumped violently, and if nothing else, Rose would definitely be pounced, but now I appeared. With his right hand at his waist, he took the dagger in his hand and threw it out vigorously, and the monster was about to pounce on the rose, but was hit by the dagger that flew out diagonally, and lay on the ground and struggled wildly.

"Come over here." I shouted at Rose as I used my crossbow bolts to stop the monsters that were catching up behind her. Thanks to the Avengers' automatic loading of arrows, otherwise this rate of fire would have been too late.

The two of us approached each other, and when Rose had reached my side, a monster jumped up and pounced. I had a tacit understanding with Rose, and she flashed behind me, and the monster lunged at me. I had already prepared, and the crossbow shot the monster that was coming at me backwards.

There was a tremor in the nearby woods, and a large group of monsters rushed towards me with great vigour. Seeing that they were about to reach my ground, suddenly a flame erupted from the side. The monster that had just been menacing was immediately crackled by the flames. The tank finally arrived in time!

Since these monsters know how to use strategies and organize and assign tasks, it means that they are not low in intelligence. At this point, it was found that the plan had failed, and there was no point in lingering. All monsters turn around and run in unison like a monster. Hula, all the monsters all disappeared into the dense forest, and if it weren't for the still burning trees and corpses on the ground, we would have thought we were dreaming just now!

"Count the damage!" As soon as the monster retreated, the samurai leader immediately began to give orders, and the other samurai also rescued each other, and the situation was so orderly that they were all elites.

I looked at Wentian and it didn't seem to be hurt, he was still examining the body on the ground. The samurai captain soon came back to report. "We have seven people on duty and none of them were injured."

"How can there be no wounded?"

"Those monsters are almost all poisonous, and if they cut a little bit of skin, they would kill people instantly. None of the samurai in charge were fatally wounded, they all died of poisoning. ”

"I think that's the culprit for polluting the water."

Wen Tian picked up a monster corpse with a thick twig over there. "Take a closer look like what?"

I took a closer look at it. The red carapace covers the whole body. There are six long, sharp legs underneath it, which look somewhat similar to the legs of a crab. In addition to his 6 supporting legs, this guy has a pair of crab pincers in front of him. It's very lethal at first glance. Its head and body are connected together, and the neck is not visible. There are six red eyes on his head, and they look strangely scary. As for its mouth, it was completely like a shredder, with fangs and green venom dripping out. Probably the most distinctive feature of this monster's whole body is its tail. The guy had a long, segmented tail with a rather characteristic sign at the tip of the tail - a comma-like organ.

"Scorpions?" I recognized it almost instantly. It was a swarm of scorpions that attacked us.

"How can it be a scorpion?" Rose looked at the creature in disbelief. "What does this thing look like a scorpion?"

Wen Tian also agreed: "This thing really doesn't have many characteristics of a scorpion except that it looks like a scorpion. Until now, these things have never used tail spines, so scorpions should consider poison needles first, right? ”

Rose added, "Although the scorpions are very fast, I haven't heard of any scorpions that can jump?" Also, these guys obviously have good eyesight, and a real scorpion should be half blind, right? These things seem to be able to see us from the trees. ”

Wentian stabbed the scorpion's mouth open with a small stick again, "I know what kind of mouth a real scorpion looks like, but it shouldn't be like this, right?" Look at the teeth. ”

Rose corrected, "That's not a tooth, it's something that evolved from the carapace on the mouth." ”

"Whatever it is. It's not something a scorpion should have, anyway. ”

"What do you think?" Rose asked me.

I looked at the creature and said, "It is probably a variant of the scorpion, or like the relationship between the demon wolf and the wild wolf, this is the demon scorpion." ”

"So our mission is to get rid of all of this?" Wentian was a little disappointed. Actually, I'm pretty much the same. Everyone knows that this task is not easy to do. These things are as fast as gusts of wind, and they jump seven or eight meters, and their carapaces are as hard as steel plates, and they are full of poison, and they see blood sealing their throats. The worst thing is that these things are well-organized and have a certain intelligence, which is the most annoying.

I looked at the creature's corpse and said, "Whether or not this thing polluted the water source, I think it must have something to do with it, and if we don't destroy these things, our mission will be over." ”

But these things know to run away, what if they don't want to come into contact with us all the time! Wentian was a little worried.

"I can't do anything if they don't come out, but it may take some time."

"What do you mean?" Q Tian asked me suspiciously.

I smiled mysteriously and didn't answer, but turned to the samurai and said, "Everyone gather the corpses of the victims and bring them with us, and we have sacrificed them here in vain." ”

"Is the water source solved?" The samurai leader disagreed.

"Of course you have to solve it, but you can't play hide and seek with monsters like this. That's too late, and you may not be able to find it in a few months. I have a way, so you can leave it alone, just go back with me. ”

"Alright then!" After all, I was authorized by the king's land. I had to command everything here, and the samurai captain had to do what he was told.

After everyone gathered, they were all taken out of the forest by the tank, because the position was not enough, and those samurai had to hold the tank's legs, but fortunately, they were all elites, and this kind of special grade was not a problem. On the way, I was still very curious about my solution, but I just didn't tell him, and he had to ask Rose in a hurry.

Rose didn't know much about me, and she had already guessed what I was going to do when I said I had a way. After asking the sky, she had no choice but to answer: "Actually, it's very simple, these monsters hide themselves with the help of the forest, so let's just light a fire and burn the entire forest, and soon it's over?" ”

"What? Burn the forest? Wen Tian turned to me in disbelief.

I nodded: "To do big things, you have to have the courage to do it." It's just a grove, don't make such a fuss. ”

"But boldness equals destructive power, huh? Besides, it's not a grove, is it? ”

"Whatever it is. As soon as the fire is burned, it will become a flat river, and when the time comes, all the monsters will come out, and it will not be easy to find it? If you're lucky, maybe just burn the monsters to death, would it be better? It also saves hands. ”

"But ...... the woods?"

"It's not reality here, with the refresh rate of the system, a forest will grow in less than a week after it burns out, what are you worried about? Are you still afraid that environmental protection will prevent you from getting into trouble? ”

"I just think it's ......!"

"Don't think it's wrong, there's nothing wrong with listening to me."

Asked what else he wanted to argue, thought about it and swallowed it back. "And how are you going to set the fire? This is no grove. Isn't a hundred thousand hectares of forest so good? ”

Rose couldn't help laughing, and asked the sky suspiciously, "Why are you laughing again?" ”

"Because I think it's funny. With him, the king of destruction, you are still worried about it, I think there is only a problem that the forest is not big enough, and he is definitely a master at setting fire. ”

I took the rose into my arms, lit her nose and said, "Don't talk like a bandit who robs a house!" ”

"I didn't compare you to them." A mischievous expression suddenly appeared on Rose's face: "They're not as good as you!" Ha...... Ha...... Ha...... Ha......! ”

Wentian was completely lost his temper by us, so he had to be in a daze on the side. Actually, I really don't want to burn the forest, if it weren't for the damn rule that you can't use magic pets, ghosts like to set fires! If I could summon the Iron Hornet or the Dragoons, I'd just turn the forest over. Not to mention such a large group of monsters, I can find even an ant.

When we returned to the city, the old king was surprised, he did not expect us to come back so soon. To make matters worse, he brought back a few corpses. The relatives of those samurai were all present, and they fainted when they saw the corpses carried down, but there was no way to do it, how could there be immortals in battle?

He was also taken aback when he told the old king of our intentions, and this guy was much more "courageous" than Wentian, and almost immediately agreed with our opinion. Although that forest is the territory of two countries, it is basically a no-man's land, and it is located in a relatively distant place, and few people pass by, even if it is burned it will have little effect on them.

After putting down the warriors, I took the roses back to the edge of the forest and set the fire, asking the heavens to follow me to see how I set the fire, but even the king came with me, and the strange thing was that the king brought two other little princesses and a prince with him, saying that they were opening their eyes. These two princesses are smaller than the grounded princess Lala, but they are more sensible, although they have more problems like ordinary children, but the rules and etiquette are not ambiguous at all. The prince looked similar to Lala, and his cousin was quite decent, except that his breath was a little bigger, and the birth calf was not afraid of tigers. Fortunately, he knows how to advance and retreat, as long as the old king is a little bit, he will immediately change his words, and he will definitely be a cunning and good king in the future. Cunning is the basic element of a king, and with a little tolerance is the perfect leader.

When we reached the edge of the forest, everyone stood far away, probably thinking that I was going to use a large area of magic to ignite the fire. But the little prince had been standing at my side, much bolder than his father. Actually, I didn't even intend to drive the fire magic to ignite. Besides, my magic skills aren't enough! If only those two phoenixes were here, but now I have to do it myself.

As soon as I stood still, two and a half moons flew out with a pull from my back, hovering at high speed on both sides of my ground. Half Moon's flight is actually purely magical, and their shape gives them a physical property similar to that of a helicopter pulp. When it rotates at high speed, it can generate air currents to hold itself up, of course, the power of rotation comes from magic, and after the two and a half moons left the body, I took out the eternity and dragged it in the palm of my hand.

Concentrate the mana of the whole body into the surrounding armor and weapons, and the attributes of these artifacts are activated one after another. Black flames suddenly appeared on my body, and the little prince who was beside me also stepped aside in fright. The black flame burned brighter and brighter, and soon turned into a huge ball of fire. The black flames didn't completely block the light, and I could still be seen in the flames. Everyone looked at the red eternity that I held up and turned into a spherical shape, and saw that a flame slowly appeared on the eternity, and it was a white flame, which was very different from the black flame. When the flames of more than two meters high erupted from the Eternal Heavens, the two and a half moons next to it suddenly flashed with an electric arc, and then it exploded. Two and a half moons at the same time appeared blue flames.

The three colors of flames immediately made the audience behind exclaim, the youngest princess was actually a magician. She muttered in surprise, "How is it possible to manipulate so many flames at the same time?" What kind of mage is he? ”

Rose replied to her in a whisper, "He's an animal trainer in the auxiliary department. If you have to divide it, it should belong to the spiritual department. ”

"How is this possible?"

My trick wasn't quite over in the middle of the game, and it wasn't enough for this flame to light such a large forest. Suddenly, between two and a half months, there was an electric arc, and then another electric arc appeared. Soon there were already seven or eight arcs connected for two and a half months. The arcs attract each other, and finally tangle into a bundle of chaotic arcs, where the arcs crackle. As my hand pointed to the forest, the two and a half moons suddenly started and flew into the forest together, and the powerful electric current pulled out an arc more than ten meters long between the two and a half moons. Two and a half months of shuttling between the trees, the arc quickly set fire to all the trees between them, and the fire quickly burst into flames.

I then threw the red orb of eternity in my hand. When it flew into the air, it suddenly exploded into countless balls like a goddess scattering flowers, and each ball carried the white flame on it. A large number of small balls on fire flew into the forest and immediately began to scurry around, and this white was the eternal fire formed by fusing the samadhi true fire on the fire-gathering blade and the fire of life on the altar of death. The Eternal Flame is not burning trees at all, it is actually burning what it sees, not only the trees, but also the ground.

After the two weapons were taken off, I myself spread out my huge wings three or four meters wide and flew up, flying over the forest at high speed with flames all over my body. A black flame on the ground followed the path I was flying through, setting fire to all the trees below.

None of the people watching from the sidelines spoke anymore, and the speed with which I set the fire was truly breathtaking. But I didn't set the whole forest on fire, mainly because I didn't have that much magic. With full fire like this, my magic fell like a horse's watch. It will run out in 10 minutes at most, but dragging a dozen meters of black flames in the air is really weird.

After lighting a section of the edge of the forest that was two kilometers deep and ten kilometers wide, I returned to the forest, and the black flames on my body quietly disappeared the moment I hit the ground. A large red ball raindrops in the forest usually followed. Then it converges into a big red ball in the palm of my hand. Two and a half months after the eternity returned, it flew back with a sharp whistle because it was too fast, and the arc had long since disappeared, but the blue flame was still burning, but it was obviously much smaller.

Two and a half moons circled around me a few times and then stuck back behind me, and the blue flames disappeared with it. The eternal flame also slowly dimmed until it was extinguished, and now the magic was really bottomed out. Rose quickly stood next to me and added a serenity spell to me, which was a high-level magic restoration magic that only a high-level resurrection mage like Rose was capable of using. The magic power in my body began to recover at a high speed, and the effect was indeed much better than that of the low-level Tranquility Technique.

The old king came with his men and tried to praise me a few words, but I stopped me: "Don't get too close, I'm very hot." "That's when they noticed that my feet were smoking all the time as I stood on the ground. The grass was burned with black marks. "My flames can't hurt me, but the temperature is still there, so I need to cool it down a little bit."

"Why did you set the whole forest on fire?" A little princess asked.

"My dear princess, arson is a place of mana. I'm not a flame mage in the first place. It's nice to be able to light up such a large area. ”

Rose also helped: "Before coming here, most of his summoned beasts were sealed, and only this one remained, otherwise he would have the ability to burn the entire forest." ”

Qantian asked, "So what do we do now?" ”

"Wait."

"How long is this going to be?"

"It won't take too long, we have the upper hand here, and the fire will burn into a piece in a while. When my magic is restored, I will start a few more fires in other places, and it will burn faster. At most, it will be tomorrow by noon. ”

"What about the critters inside?" The little princess's thoughts are really innocent enough.

Rose once again showed her strength in coaxing children. "The fire is burning from this side, and the animals will know to run away. When we destroy the monsters, they can live safer without worrying about being eaten by monsters. You say, don't you? If you don't like living with monsters, do you? "The little princess's quick change of attitude strongly supported our arson operation, and the child is easier to deceive.

Just as everyone was talking and laughing, there was a strange long sound in the forest, and the sound was a bit like a whistle. And it was the loud whistle of a large steamer, and everyone was stunned by the sound, and the two little princesses even hid behind the old king.

"What's that sound?" The little prince is really bold. He asked me without fear.

"I don't know, but it sounds like some kind of big creature."

Rose also said, "It sounds like the source of the sound is far away in the depths of the forest, and it is terrifying to be able to hear it so far. ”

"It seems that the monster was alarmed, and it should be its angry roar." The king was very calm.

"It's better to be alarmed, so we don't have to wait." I wish it had come out and duel us right now.

Rose said, "Don't you think there's something wrong?" ”

"How?"

"Those little monsters we met at the beginning couldn't make such a sound, could they?"

When Rose said that, I really noticed. It can't be that the noise is made by those little things. Although a two-meter-long scorpion is not small, it must be at least the size of a tank to make such a loud sound. "Did you notice the claws of those scorpions we encountered in the first place?"

"What's wrong?" Wentian and Rose both looked at me suspiciously.

"They have six legs, and there shouldn't be just two tracks when you really climb a tree."

"That's right!" The two of them rang out at this time.

I continued: "All things considered, I think there is only one possibility. ”

Rose continued with me: "They have a leader. What we see are just creeps? ”

"Yes. And this leader should be about the size of a tank. ”

After listening to my words, not only roses and questions, but even the king's people couldn't help but glance at the tank lying next to him.

I continued: "Those marks were not left by those little scorpions, but by the leader, and those little scorpions simply did not have enough weight to leave such deep marks. It didn't rely on one tree to support its body at all, but it stepped on five or six trees at the same time, one tree for each paw, so there were only two marks on each tree. "I stretched out my left index finger and bent my right index finger into a hook-like shape and hung it on my left index finger." That's where that trace comes in. They looked at my fingers and immediately understood. Although that guy is a big boss, he should look the same as his subordinates. Their claws are like sickles, and a hook on a tree creates that kind of symmetrical mark. "If you recall their attack, those little scorpions spent most of their time walking on the ground. This means that they do not leave marks on the trees. The big guy was probably too heavy to walk on the muddy ground in the forest, so he stepped on the trunk of the tree. ”

"Makes sense."

As he spoke, there was another throat cry in the forest, this time much closer, and the guy didn't run away but came at us. "His Royal Highness. You'd better avoid it with the princesses, it looks like it's coming at us. Their bodies are so poisonous that they can kill people if they touch their skin, and we can't protect you if we really fight. ”

"Well, we're here to interfere with your battle." The king turned to the people below: "The guards stay, and the others retreat with me, so as not to affect the battle." ”

I stopped the king. "Take the guards with you, too. It didn't work for them to stay. You can pick 5 of Yi's most elite hands to protect my wife. ”

"Yes." The king quickly ordered 15 people to come out, two of whom were the king's personal guards, and they did seem to be very elite.

After a while, we must make sure that Rose can't do any damage, her auxiliary magic is very helpful to us, but I can't stand in front of her, so I leave 5 masters down as meat shields. Anyway, Rose is a resurrection mage, and detoxification is a minor problem, but she can't take care of it if there are too many people, so I only need 15 people.

After the king left, there was a third "whistle" in the forest, this time it was very loud, and it seemed that the target was not far from us. My fire attack is really easy to use, and I just lit it and brought out the old **.

I could vaguely see a flutter of trees flying in the forest, and something rushed straight towards us at a very fast speed. It seems that this guy is not small, and he doesn't even look at the road, and the big trees he hits all the way are flying around.

"Ready!" I held the eternal sword in my hand, and two and a half months also took off to prepare, and the goal was about to appear.

Just as we were ready to fight, I suddenly heard a guard behind me shouting, "Your Royal Highness? ”

I nervously turned around and found that the prince was actually running towards us, damn it, what did this kid do, why did he want to cause me trouble?

There was an angry guttural cry in the woods again, this time as if it were coming from all around us, and it was terrifying. The sound drew my attention back to the forest, and the troubles on both sides arrived together, what should I do!

Rose decisively said to one of the guards: "You take the prince away and send him to the king to take care of him." ”

"Yes." The guards immediately rushed over. The prince struggled to stay, but was snatched away by the guard like a chicken. There is one less guard, but fortunately it doesn't affect our overall strength.
