"Stop! Stand in place and rest on the mountain beam ahead! Stop......" In the group of supporters, the guards in charge of delivering the message shouted back and forth several times.

Gradually, the team stopped and began to straighten out in place.

It's still early, enough for everyone to prepare a hearty dinner.

After these days of training, everyone has adapted to such a long journey life. Soon there were people gathering firewood, hunting animals, and gathering berries and ears that looked like they were edible.

A former botanist is in charge of identifying whether the collected fruit is edible, and Haruko also runs over to help.

Bursts of fragrance wafted from several campfires, and many people were attracted to it.

"Haruko, come and help me pinch my shoulder!" Ma Qiang saw the busy Haruko, sat on the ground with a grin, pointed to his neck and shouted.

A few good women laughed and jokingly poked Haruko with their fingers: "Go, go, the man who serves you is important, just leave the chores to us!" ”

Haruko blushed and stood still. Ma Qiang's behavior is rude and rude, but it is strange that Haruko not only does not hate him, but also faintly likes this feeling of being dominated.

Fortunately, she still has a lot of restraint and feels that she should stick to her usual reserve.

"Huh? How to be disobedient? Ma Qiang scratched the back of his head a little strangely, and strengthened his tone again: "Don't be hypocritical, come quickly!" Isn't it just that I haven't dealt with anyone, I'll teach you by hand! ”

There were bursts of laughter from the crowd, and they all stared at Haruko as if they were watching a play, discussing whether she would obey Ma Qiang's orders.

Even the guards who followed Kurban were drawn in, shouting "sister-in-law, captain's wife" and something like that.

But in most Rao's hearts, including Ma Xiyu and physician Han Chunyang and others, they didn't think that Haruko would follow Ma Qiang's orders.

After all, this girl's performance has always made everyone think that the person she likes is Li Ling - judging from the way she looks at Li Ling every time, and the fact that she never exceptionally hands the food to Li Ling first.

What everyone was looking forward to was just to see how Haruko refused Ma Qiang's unreasonable request, and even saw Li Ling and Ma Qiang break out into conflict because of this.

In the short leisure time after the long journey, everyone is eager to watch a bloody show.

Haruko, the protagonist on the field, wrings her fingers nervously, not knowing what to do. She glanced at Ma Qiang quickly, and immediately withdrew her shy gaze.

Just because of that glance, Ma Xiyu's heart was dripping blood.

Once, he thought that sooner or later, he would impress Haruko with affection. It's a pity that he made a trip to bite the gold halfway, and Li Ling defeated himself in all directions with his excellence, which made Ma Xiyu lose the motivation to pursue Haruki for a while.

Fortunately, Li Ling did not have any deviant behavior towards Haruko, and always maintained the distance he deserved, which rekindled his hope.

But now, Haruko actually glanced at Ma Qiang with a shy, impatient gaze.

"Daddy! What the hell am I going to do?! Do you rush to the duel or give up on your beloved girl? Why did you give such a name to the ordinary me? Ma Xiyu wailed in her heart.

"What are you? Are Haruko's slender jade hands used to pinch your shoulders? In the commotion, Han Chunyang strode out of the crowd, pointed at Ma Qiang and reprimanded him.

The air around it froze instantly. No one expected that the person who stood up would actually be Han Chunyang, the taciturn and emaciated doctor.

"What are you?!" Ma Qiang stood up and grabbed Han Chunyang's collar. "Listen to you as a doctor, can you save yourself from the belly of a beast without my protection?"

"I'm not here to quarrel with you, but I'm going to tell you, please be respectful to Miss Haruko!" Han Chunyang wanted to break free from Ma Qiang's hands.

"I'm not here to quarrel, I'm here to fight?!" Ma Qiang smiled sneeringly and punched Han Chunyang in the abdomen, knocking him to the ground.

"Who else?" Ma Qiang shouted arrogantly.

……

Li Ling, as usual, sat away from the crowd, paying attention to the movements around him while silently calculating the time when he and Qin Yu were separated.

Judging by the recent battles, the Supporters have been able to defend themselves well against attacks from the air. Everyone always gathered quickly and attacked the batmen with a dense stream of spears and bows and arrows.

"As long as I climb over this mountain beam in front of me, I can leave with peace of mind, right?" Li Ling muttered to himself.

On the rough map he remembered, beyond the vast forest of falling stars, there were rolling mountains and hills. The path ahead for the supporters may be more difficult, but at least there are not as many dangerous creatures as in the jungle.

The sound of branches and leaves shutting caught Li Ling's attention, and he looked up and glanced around, and a branch three feet away was swaying gently.

"Maybe just passed a squirrel." Li Ling thought. But as soon as he lowered his head, the sound of "stabbing lala" sounded again.

When he looked up again, the swaying branches were only a foot away from him.

"This is ......" Li Ling's pupils shrank slightly, as if sensing something, and immediately held the dagger he was carrying in his hand

With a "bang", the nearest tree suddenly fell down towards him.

Li Ling rolled on the spot, half-squatting and placing the dagger in front of him.

A strange scene happened, the big tree that was about to fall spun in place for half a circle, and actually stood upright again. At the same time, seven or eight long branches slammed down on him.

"Treants?!" Li Ling exclaimed, remembering the magical creatures in the mythological story. And the one in front of him is clearly the kind of twisted tree spirit with a violent personality.

Before he had time to think about it, Li Ling pounced and hid behind the trunk of another big tree.

A creaking sound sounded from overhead, and Li Ling looked up and saw seven or eight sharp logs hanging neatly above his head. The trunk above the pointed wood is inlaid with a withered, cracked gray face.

Another Treant!

"Giggles!" The twisted face let out a hollow groan, and all the spiky wood danced above his head.

At that moment, Li Ling clearly saw that this so-called tree man was nothing more than a strange creature with a bulky body in the form of a large tree and many long arms. And those sharp trees and branches are the weapons that it holds tightly in its hands.

Without hesitation, Li Ling slammed the dagger in his hand into Shu Rao's body before the sharp trees and branches above his head fell.

The weapons in Shu Rao's hand were waved indiscriminately, but most of them still smashed at Li Ling's body.

Struggling to dodge the attack, Li Ling found himself surrounded by several treants holding sharp logs and branches.

"No, I have to rush back and get everyone prepared! Who knows how many of these Treant monsters there are? Thinking of this, Li Ling gritted his teeth and rushed towards a tree man who looked the weakest, while dodging with all his might.

In a short distance of more than ten meters, Li Ling struck several sharp trees with his palms, but he was still hit on his back by many branches, almost causing him to fall to the ground, and was smashed into flesh by those tree men with the branches in their hands.

Fortunately, he successfully broke out of the encirclement and ran in the direction of the camp with all his might.
