A large number of demonic beasts rushed into the barbarian camp, and the barbarian soldiers were in a mess, and for some reason, the usually docile demonic beasts attacked their own people.

Mu Lan quickly looked around, there were more and more demonic beasts in the forest, and after a while, they poured into the camp like a tide, she launched a detection spell to perceive the surroundings, and there was only one direction where there was no trace of demonic beasts.

"Go over there!" Mu Lan pointed to the northwest, then used the wind blade to kill a few swift shadow leopards that pounced on him, and ran quickly towards that side with Julian.

The tearing spell wouldn't last long, and order should be restored soon, so she'd have to get out of here as soon as possible.

Running and running, Mu Lan doesn't feel right, why hasn't there been a demonic beast in this direction?

That's right! She thought to herself, wasn't that the powerful warlock going in this direction?

She really didn't want to face the terrifying powerhouse who brought great coercion to her, that feeling was palpitating, her life was like an ant in front of him, she could be crushed to death at will.

However, looking at Julian beside her, Mu Lan sighed, Julian's martial arts skills are mediocre, and his strength is only the posture of a middle-class person, and he may encounter accidents if he moves forward, but if she turns back, she will definitely die, and she can't let this important person related to the mission die.

Thinking of the task, she heard the system prompt when she was being chased and killed by the barbarian soldiers just now, but the situation was urgent at that time, and she didn't have time to think about it.

I looked at the task record in my head, and sure enough, it was a hint that the task was completed.

[Main Quest: Investigate the secrets of the Ragon Forest, the quest has been completed.] 】

The reason for the disappearance of the hunters is very simple, they should have strayed into the territory of the barbarians, and they were wiped out after discovering the traces of the barbarians, and the same is true for the mercenary groups that have gone and never returned.

And the black mage is even more imaginary, the chant of the barbarian sacrifice is a bit similar to the chant of magic, which should be overheard by the people, coupled with the fear and ignorance of magic, it becomes a rumor as a rumor.

As for when the next main quest will appear, Mu Lan is not worried, it is only a matter of time before Julian is by his side.

The terrain in front of him was not as gentle as the rest of the forest, there was a clear upward slope, Mu Lan saw that there was no threat of demonic beasts around, so he slowed down and came to a high ground to look, and found that there was a valley in front of him.

"It's finally safe." Julian crouched down and gasped, then embarrassedly said, "I'm so stupid...... Stepped on a branch ......"

Mu Lan didn't say anything, she had already escaped from danger anyway, and she didn't want to blame him.

The current situation is a bit difficult to manage, the psychic link is blocked for unknown reasons, she has lost contact with her teammates, and the two are not familiar with the forest environment, and they are a little disoriented.

The trees in the valley were not as tall as before, they were all low shrubs, and the vision became wider, and the two walked aimlessly.

The detection spell did not fail, Mu Lan was able to perceive the environment in the valley, and then was surprised to find that there was a place where the spiritual power was blocked.

It was a hollow in the valley, something she had never seen before, and she wondered, and slowly walked towards the place.

The principle of the detection spell is to emit a lot of spiritual power to perceive the surrounding environment, shaped like an upside-down pot, and this place is a gap in the pot, and she can't see the details inside.

When she came to the low-lying part of this valley, she looked closely at it, and found that it was no different from other places, with shrubs and weeds growing indiscriminately, and there was nothing in these plants, it was a very ordinary place.

Mu Lan squeezed through the bushes to see if there was anything inside, and then a burst of light suddenly brightened, and the spiritual power in her mind fluctuated strongly, and the scene in front of her suddenly changed.

"Arashi!" Julian exclaimed, Mu Lan's whole person disappeared out of thin air in his sight, and he hurriedly rushed forward, only to find that there were only those bushes on the ground, and the valley was still calm, as if the girl had never existed.

Mu Lan's feeling here was that the world was spinning, she suddenly appeared in a dim environment, tumbling down a staircase and falling down, her head was knocked by the stone steps, and she subconsciously protected her head.

After a while, she fell heavily to the ground, and suddenly felt that her eyes were shining with gold stars, and her limbs were bruised.

She struggled to stand up on the ground, then released a Thrall shield on herself, looking around warily.

Her head was a little dizzy, and the environment was dim, and her vision was blurry, but after adjusting to the environment, she realized that it was a huge space.

The stone ground formed a circular altar, about the size of nearly a hundred meters, surrounded by a circle of firelight, and in the distance there was endless darkness.

Mu Lan thought for a moment that the reason why this was the altar was in the middle of the circular area, where there was a huge seven-pointed star pattern, which was filled with countless strange and inexplicable symbols, and the pattern radiated outwards to the edge of the circular altar, and there was a blue-green flame in the very center.

Two black figures stood at each end of the flames, and one of them glanced at Mu Lan seemingly unintentionally.

"Warlock again, have you found yourself a helper?"

The other man did not answer, he stood there in silence, his back hunched and his body trembling slightly.

Only then did Mu Lan realize that the silent man was not the warlock powerhouse she had met before.

Looking at the other side of the flames, his face was full of shadows under the firelight, but he could still see that he was a tall man with an unusually handsome face, his long hair and pupils were as black as ink, his facial features were deep and three-dimensional, and his facial contours were as perfect as sculptures.

Mu Lan seemed to be attracted by his eyes, her brain was instantly dizzy, as if she had fallen into a soft and ambiguous wonderful world, like heaven, she slowly closed her eyes, and her self-consciousness gradually disappeared.

Wrong!

Mu Lan was startled, biting the tip of her tongue hard, her mouth was filled with the smell of blood, and then she gathered all her spiritual power to try to break out of that seemingly beautiful illusion.

"Oh, a little lamb who has gone astray." The corners of the black-haired man's mouth curled, revealing an evil aura, and he chuckled at the warlock in front of him and said, "Are you at a loss?" How to find such a weak helper. ”

"Demon, you don't have to disguise it." The warlock said mockingly, "No demon has ever escaped from my mental slavery, and your injuries are not light." ”

"It's just a small skill of carving insects." The black-haired man pretended to smile lightly, but the palm of his hand hidden behind his back was trembling as far as the warlock couldn't see.

"The demons you've captured are all small characters, if it weren't for some changes, my strength would not be as good as before, do you think you can still stand here alive?" The black-haired man said with a smile again.

Mu Lan sat cross-legged on the ground and began to meditate, a steady stream of spiritual power was driving away those illusions, and then slowly opened her eyes, and her eyes gradually became clearer.
