In the village of Greyback, the centaurs of Coldwind City are slowly leaving the camp. Lord of the city, Colenfell. Long Legs stood in front of the team and looked back, and there was a team of about fifty people following him.

A golden-robed wizard casts a spell, summoning a ferocious lion from the Shadow Realm to mount. His servants provided the lions with cushions for their masters to ride comfortably.

'Alchemist' Fabro took a statue from his pocket and enlarged it into a mechanical beast after casting a spell, which served as a means of transportation. Seeing this, the golden-robed wizard smiled and said, "Your Excellency Fabro, I heard that you suffered a lot of losses last time?" ”

Fabro's face sank, and he snorted coldly: "Your Excellency Moltke, I heard that you, as the 'chief prophecy' of Coldwind City, rashly sent demon pets to the evil lair to investigate. As a result, the pet died, and he suffered permanent damage. Tut-tut......"

The golden-robed wizard suddenly turned gloomy and glared at Fabro towards the long-legged city lord. A paladin in full body armor stepped up and whispered, "Your Excellency Moltke, don't make trouble. We are here to fight evil, not to fight. ”

The golden-robed wizard hated unabated, but he could only change the subject and say, "Do you think those greedy guys are reliable? ”

The words referred to several adventurers who followed behind the Long-legged City Lord. Their clothes and armor were torn and their images were embarrassed, but they were dancing like the city lord repeatedly emphasized something.

The gang came from Harmony Village and are said to have found a viable path to the elven ruins. They first sold this information to Victor for a thousand gold coins. Hugo, turning his head and running to the Grey Village again, sold to the forces of Coldwind City again.

The all-armored holy warrior also stared at the adventurers, and said in a deep voice, "I have detected them, they are all evildoers, but they are not lying. They provided a lot of information about Harmony Village and I kept my promise not to punish them.

Victor. Hugo got the news a day in advance that he had already led a team out of the lair and was heading towards the elven ruins. The Long-legged City Lord decided to catch up and join the battle for the ruins. ”

Silver Leaf City is in the Black Forest, and the map given by Zhou Qingfeng also indicates its location. But there is not a single viable road in the vast Black Forest, and there is no danger along the way.

Harmony Village has been established for three months, and the news of the discovery of the elven ruins has already spread throughout the Northland. Zhou Qingfeng tried to provide logistics and survival guides for the various adventurers who flocked to him, so that many lucky guys could make a fortune.

The number of migrants pouring into the Black Forest has exceeded five or six thousand, but the number of migrants in Harmony Village rarely exceeds five hundred. This certainly eased the pressure on the village, but the harsh reality behind it was that many people who went to explore ...... did not return.

Fabro went in with a dozen people, but only five or six came out for a month. This is the reason why Zhou Qingfeng is reluctant to explore the elven ruins in one go - if you want to know the right path to the elven ruins, you must rely on human life to try and make mistakes.

Zhou Qingfeng owns Harmony Village, has the 'Holy Light Information Network', and he is the most well-informed person in the entire Harmony Village. After three months of tossing and turning, sacrificing the lives of a large number of adventurers, a crude message to the core was finally depicted.

A real scramble has just begun.

The golden-robed wizard said, "The spirit of the forest has also confirmed the news to me, Victor. Hugo left his lair and was heading for the Elven Ruins. Powell seems to be with him, and he should not be dead, but he doesn't know the specific situation. ”

The all-armored paladin nodded, "This is an opportunity, we can cooperate with His Excellency the Long-legged City Lord and attack him halfway to solve this tricky target." ”

The golden-robed wizard had no objection to this, and the plan was set.

At the same time, Zhou Qingfeng's team was entering the depths of the Black Forest, where the road was difficult. The undulating woodland is filled with a thick fog that obscures the view, and deadly dangers hide in the trees and shrubs.

On the twisted trunk of the tree, a vampire vine drooped slowly. The spikes on the rattan protrude, waiting for the prey to throw themselves into the net. But the prey that approached this time noticed the dangerous monster in advance.

Healy raised her bow and was about to shoot, but the 'Blight Priest' stopped her from walking up and said, "Don't shoot, let me come." Vampire vine is both an animal and a plant, and its vine pith has special effects on many diseases, so don't miss it. ”

Justen, with a few assistants, stepped forward to perform magic in an attempt to capture the rare vampire vine. Sensing the danger, the vampire vine quickly retracted, and it kept shaking its rattan with a strange creaking sound.

"It's calling for symbiotes." Justen shouted, "Your Excellency Hugo, watch your surroundings. The symbiotes of the vampire vine are most likely some gnolls who protect each other and assist in the symbiosis. ”

Zhou Qingfeng raised his hand, and the entire team slowly stopped, silently forming a formation that covered each other. In the quiet woods, he didn't need to speak, and he relied on the information network to communicate with the rest of the team.

It takes some time to catch the vampire vine, and this rare creature is very deadly when hidden. But it moves slowly, making it almost impossible to escape once spotted. At this moment, it was entrenched in several tree trunks and constantly waving its vines, resisting the imprisoning power exerted by the divine magic.

In the movement of rattan whipping, the sound of chaotic footsteps sounded from far and near. Zhou Qingfeng closed his eyes, the 'listening' ability brought by the constant law was better than his eyesight, and he could clearly judge the number and direction of the attackers.

"You don't have to move, let my guards try." Zhou Qingfeng said in the information network.

Adrian the Clown jumped back from the periphery of the line and cautiously reminded: "Your Excellency Hugo, there is a group of gnolls outside, and there are more than twenty of them. Armed with a lot of crude bows and arrows, they are trying to surround us. ”

"Raise your shield." Zhou Qingfeng didn't change his mind, "The pro-guard team is forward, I hope each of you will kill at least one gnoll." ”

For Zhou Qingfeng's insistence, others did not speak. But those who are familiar with the jungle know that jackals with wolf heads and human bodies are not easy to deal with. They are tall, strong, more ferocious, more cunning, and much more difficult than the same number of goblins.

Powell stayed in the middle of the team, and he greatly questioned Zhou Qingfeng's order. As a sparring partner, although he has admitted that 'Hugo' has made rapid progress, those rookie guards have been trained for less than a month, and their combat effectiveness is quite limited.

His assessment in his heart was, "Twenty gnolls only need one impact to wipe out all those rookies." ”

The selected rookie guards resolutely carried out Zhou Qingfeng's orders. Armed with swords and shields, they formed a semi-circle and slowly stepped forward, forming a conspicuous protrusion in the ranks.

The brains of every rookie guard are connected to the information network, and with the help of the reconnaissance of Zhou Qingfeng and others, they vaguely determine the location of the enemy opposite them.

The first sword and shield hand stared at the thick fog ahead, breathing more and more rapidly. He couldn't see the situation on the other side, but Sophia in the information network repeatedly told him that there were two gnolls in the thick fog, waiting to surprise him.

The lead sword and shield bearer was only seventeen years old, and had previously been an armed squire. His original job was to follow the owner of an adventurer in a hitchhiker's battle, and he never faced the enemy directly.

Lack of training, little food and clothing, little courage. Just because he was taller, he was selected into Zhou Qingfeng's personal guard. After training for more than half a month, he now wants to prove that he has the strength to fight.

"Calm down and don't panic. What to do on the training ground, what to do now. "With the help of the information link, Sophia has overall control over the entire pro-guard team. She inspires every rookie player to perform at the level they deserve.

Whoosh...... a bone arrow shot out of the thick fog.

This was like a signal, followed by a dozen bone arrows shooting out one after another. Wave after wave, without stopping-the rookie guards who came out in front of the dense rain of arrows, hurriedly raised their shields and shrank their heads, covering each other.

The sound of the arrows sounded, and the rookie guards could feel the continuous impact of the shield-holding arm, and even became more and more strained. The leading sword and shield hand even felt that the shield had been hit by continuous heavy blows, and the weight had increased greatly, and his arm could not hold it.

It's the short javelin of the jackals!

This is a common way for jungle monsters to deal with human shields. They will rain arrows before throwing heavy short javelins. Even if it can't break the human shield, it can make the human warrior holding the shield very difficult, and the defense will be exposed.

"Healy." Zhou Qingfeng shouted. Several fierce arrows flew from his side, whizzing into the thick fog. Then there was a scream, and soon everyone heard the gnolls roaring.

The humanoid beasts rushed out.

The short javelin weighed more than a dozen pounds, and the shield of the sword and shield hand in front of the head was hit by three in a row, and it was very difficult to grasp. As soon as the shield was lowered, his head was exposed. Just as he felt like he was going to be shot, two gnolls jumped out of the thick fog on the opposite side, and smashed them with bone clubs.

An order came from the information link at the right time, "Abandon the shield and fight!" ”
