Perhaps because of its proximity to the town, Cream had already taken off his shirt and untied the sleeve arrows on his wrists. Except for the Shadow Ring, everything he could take off on his upper body was gone.

Seeing this, Eero finally made up his mind.

"Let's walk through the Shining Forest. If it's closer, it should be cooler too. ”

The guild members turned their heads and looked at Arrow, then at the apparently shady forest over there.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Cream hugged his clothes and said, "Through the forest? Well...... What about the slimes and hooktooth rats inside? The hooktooth rat should be a little easier to deal with, but we didn't bring salt this time, so it's a bit of a problem if we run into a slime. ”

Arrow also wiped the sweat rolling down from behind his ears and said, "If you touch it, go and kill it?" And we can walk around. Of course, this isn't a task, it's not an order, and I don't think it should be a big deal to walk through the Shining Forest with the strength of our Mermaid Song. At the very least, we can move along the edge of the Shining Forest and not go deeper into the heartland. ”

Cream thought about it, felt that there didn't seem to be any problem, and nodded immediately.

Look at Coco, Parfay and Brad again...... Well, looking at the prostration of the three of them now, there should be no opinion.

Deciding to act, Merfolk Song cautiously made her way to the edge of the forest and looked inside.

Nothing out of the ordinary was noticed, and when Arrow stepped into the shadow of the shade of the tree, he finally had a call from the heart—

(Light magic, die!) It's time for dark magic)

In the trees, the sound of huge cicadas fills the forest. Although it was a little noisy, it was much more relaxed than the sun-scorched avenue outside.

Everyone tried to walk into the forest again, and sure enough, the more they went inside, the more comfortable the temperature became. After taking a short break to rehydrate, and waiting until Cream was dressed, Mermaid Song started to act again.

I don't know if it's really hot, or if it's noon, but there is no movement in the whole shining forest except for the noisy cicadas.

Come to think of it, slimes are nocturnal creatures in the first place. Hooktooth rats also prefer to stay in dark places. Now, the midday sun is dappled through the gaps between the leaves and on the muddy ground beneath your feet, and even if there are slimes and hook-toothed rats, they must have hid in the depths of the forest to escape the heat and wait until the evening to come out.

As they walked, because there was no danger along the way, everyone's footsteps also unconsciously began to walk deeper into the forest, thinking of taking a closer shortcut.

Naturally, there is nothing wrong with all this. Until......

"Stop!"

Suddenly, Cream, who was in the middle of the line, changed his pleasant appearance just now, and reached out to stop Brad, who was still about to move forward.

The group stopped, and the Assassin crept towards the middle of the two trees in front of him, looked at a foggy gauze-like thing in front of him, turned back and said, "That's a spider's web." If I'm not mistaken, it's a web made of the silk of a rotting spider. ”

Hearing this, Arrow was slightly stunned, and his fingers involuntarily touched the antidote contained in the corner of the prop bag. He wore it just in case, but he really didn't expect it to happen.

Cream raised her head and looked at her surroundings and said, "Looks like we're really walking a little deeper." President, what do you say? If I'm not mistaken, you should have the antidote with you, right? Shall we continue to move forward, or should we go outside and be careful? If I keep walking, I think I'll be in Pelican Town in another hour or two. If we go around, we may have to wait until after dinner. ”

Arrow thought about it for a while, and quickly made up his mind: "It's better for us to take less risk if there is no need, let's go around, our vice president won't have one less dinner." ”

But just as Arrow gave the order to move to the edge of the forest, Parfay suddenly flew out of the skeleton soldier's head, and pointed to an area in front of him, while making a silent gesture at the crowd.

Seeing that there was a situation, everyone immediately lowered their bodies and bent forward forward. Soon, everyone saw what was ahead.

In a slightly empty forest area, an old man was lying on a collapsed tree trunk with his eyes closed. Next to the old man sat two attendants, who also seemed to be closing their eyes and recuperating.

"It seems that the shade of the trees is not an original idea for us."

Arrow muttered, and then saw the thing that made Parfay nervous—the Rotten Spider.

Even though it's daytime, there are quite a few spots of sunlight cast from the shade of the trees. But the black and green body patterns of the rotten spider are undoubtedly camouflaged in this forest.

There were two poisonous spiders, slowly crawling from the left and right directions towards the old man resting against the trunk of the tree. The two attendants didn't seem to notice the threat at all, and still sat there with their eyes closed.

"Do you want to shout it out?"

Brad asked softly.

Arrow thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "The rotten spiders that have not been weakened are powerful, even if we have an antidote, it is best to avoid just facing it." They ambush humans, and we ambush them. Can it be solved faster? ”

Cream and Coco nodded, and the undead soldiers of the Assassin and Necromancer rushed quickly and silently towards the back of the two rotting spiders. Maybe the two rotting spiders were so focused on their prey that they didn't notice the enemy behind them.

Quietly, Cream and the undead soldiers have reached behind the Rotten Spider. The moment before the two spiders lifted their two thick chelicerae and were ready to pounce on their prey......

Poof.

The sharp weapon had already pierced the heads of the two monsters first, causing them to slowly fall to the ground and stop moving, after letting out a terrible scream.

The screams of the rotting spider naturally woke up the old man, who seemed to be asleep. He looked up and around, and soon noticed the two dead rotting spiders in the bushes behind him. In the same way, it is also the members who saw the mermaid song slowly coming out of the bushes.

"Ah...... You guys? ”

With the old man's question, the two attendants seemed to wake up at this moment. They all stood behind the old man, but they didn't care at all about the two rotting spiders.

Ero parted Cream and Brad in front of him, smiled and walked out and said, "Hello, dear gentleman. The forest is cool, but you need to be careful. We are members of the Mermaid's Song, an adventurer's guild affiliated with Pelican Town. I'm the guild leader, Airo Garcia. ”

The best way to dispel strangers' doubts is to report to your home.

After listening to Arrow's account, the old man looked Arrow up and down, and a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "It turned out to be the guild of Pelican Town?" Heck, that's really thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have been almost in trouble. ”

Arrow glanced at the two attendants behind the old man, and saw that there was no surprise on their faces at the two poisonous spiders. Think back to where the two attendants were and the swords at their waists......

At the moment, Arrow smiled, "No, no, no, it would be nice if you could forgive us for not being nosy. ”

Seeing that Ai Luo said this, the old man glanced at the bodyguard behind him slightly, and then smiled: "Hahaha." President Eero Garcia, my name is Sugar-Coated Chocolate. These two are my bodyguards, but they're also part of my family. Well...... If you're from Pelican Town, do you know how to get out of this forest? ”

While speaking, the old man named Sugar-Coated Wine took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a slightly pleading look: "The weather outside is too hot, so I thought about coming in to escape the heat, and then walked to Pelican Town." But I didn't expect to get lost here before I knew it, so I thought about taking a break first. ”

Now, it was Arrow's turn to look the old man up and down and the two men behind him.

The decoration on the body of the sugar-coated wine Qiaoguo looks like that of a traveling businessman, a wide but easy to move robe, and a fanny pack tied around the waist, which looks like it should be travel expenses.

However, although he was dressed simply, there was not much dirt about the old man's clothing. The wear is not serious, it looks like the material should be very thick, and it should be well cared for along the way.

As for the two retinues in the back, it was even simpler, the two of them were dressed as standard adventurers. In addition to the helmet, the equipment covers the shoulders from the toes to the toes. And the prop packages on the belts of the two people also look bulging, obviously well prepared. Looking at the eyes of these two men and the strong muscles that emerged from under the leather armor, it was clear that they were not the kind of people who bought a set of equipment out of curiosity and went on a trip.

If anything, the two retinues gave Arrow the appearance of being more professional than a real soldier, and very wealthy.

"Ah, you want to go to Pelican Town? Then come with us! Pelican Town isn't far from here, and it won't take you more than two hours to walk through it. ”

Brad in the back put away his shield and walked up, smiling all faces. Of course, when Parfay appeared in front of the three strangers, the old man's brow raised slightly, and he obviously glanced at her with some curiosity. However, after only a few glances, he quickly withdrew his gaze and continued to smile at Arrow.
