The magic that Cassius had just used was the large-scale high-level freezing magic that defeated the corpse cleaner Greston and his scavenging legion at the entrance to a deserted town in the western part of the Fayele Empire more than a month ago, but this time Cassius was not injured and unconscious like last time because he couldn't bear the powerful energy of Maple Frost

First, Cassius's strength has increased a lot after a series of battles compared to when he said goodbye to his teacher Reguno Gagarin more than three months ago and left the Snowy Federation; second, when Elena helped him recover his mana, his magic cultivation has also improved, and now Cassius's magic strength has surpassed that of ordinary five-ring mages and is close to the level of four-ring mages; and secondly, the power of the Maple Dance Frost Bloom he used this time was deliberately suppressed by him to only about half of the last time he dealt with Greston

Moreover, the Maple Dance Frost Blossom attacked the ground, not a living creature, so the magic did no harm to anyone except for covering the forest with a layer of snow - of course, the temperature was freezing to death, and after the fierce battle, the four warriors who were hot and sweating profusely were a little better, but Ishnova was shivering with cold

Despite not being injured, Cassius was drained of his mana by the spell, and after pulling out a few scrolls and recasting two layers of air shields around his companions, he had to sit on the ground like Sophia and Lyle to regain his mana in a meditative way

The crisis had finally passed for the time being, and the flames that had been created by the magic had been extinguished by the frozen magic, and the only flames that were still burning were the fires made by the friends, when the friends gathered together, except for Sophia, Cassius, and Lyle, who were sitting on the ground resting, everyone looked around nervously

This is troublesome, and Memphik said with a wry smile, we have already lost three combat power, but now we don't even know where the enemy is hiding

Don't worry, I feel that the magician on the other side has also run out of mana, and she can't pose any threat to us for the time being, Cassius, who was in a state of recuperation with his eyes closed, said, although talking during meditation is taboo for mages, it is necessary for Cassius to tell some of the truth he knows in order to dispel the panic of his companions

Cassius's words also reassured everyone a little, but the shape was still not optimistic, because although the elven magician could no longer cast spells for the time being, there were still five elven warriors

Joy Ka is the most familiar with the forest among us, and now tell me what we should do, Monfik asked

In any case, we must not leave the protection range of this double air shield, or we will only become a moving arrow target, and Joyka seriously proposed his proposal

Then let's not fight back, Lei said unwillingly

How to fight back, we don't even know where the enemy is hiding in the pitch black around us, Joyka said, even if the fire is in the sky just now, but these elves still cleverly hide their bodies in the shadows of the trees, and they can't see the enemy, let alone fight back, it's still a question of whether they can survive

Could it be that we have been staying here and being beaten passively, and the impatient Ray can't stand it

By daybreak, Joyka further explained that as soon as dawn the elves lost their night advantage, we would be able to fight back

Oh my God, it's still a few hours before dawn, and Alice can't stand the wait after listening to Joyka's words

Although he is unwilling, the truth is so helpless, no one wants to become a ghost under the arrow of the elves under the unknown situation

Time passed very slowly, both sides were anxiously waiting for their partners, waiting for dawn, and the elves in ambush were waiting, someone couldn't bear to get out of the defensive circle, because Cassius used that trick, the temperature at the scene was extremely low, and the bodies of several warriors who were heated by the struggle just now were gradually cooling down with a little bit of time, and the sweat quickly evaporated, taking away some of the heat from the body, so that the partners had to slowly approach the fire to obtain heat

However, it is not only the sweat of the human body that volatilizes, the geographical location of the elven forest is already warm, and it is now summer, and the artificial winter created by Cassius will soon be submerged in the power of nature, time passes minute by minute, the snow on the trees and the ground is melting little by little, and the snow melts into water, which takes away a lot of heat from the surrounding air, making the temperature further lower

Hash, the weakest of her body, finally couldn't stand it anymore, she hugged her body tightly and muttered: It's cold, although she has lived in the cold far north for a long time, but she has been wearing warm clothes for many years, but after coming to the warm south, those thick warm clothes have been left on the airship, and at this time, she is only wearing a thin single coat, so there is no reason to be cold

Alice withdrew her armor into her body, and continuing to wear metal in such a cold temperature would only further lose the heat in her body, and she hugged Ischennova tightly, and the two girls used each other's bodies to warm each other

Joyka, Ray, and Monfic sat on the floor, minimizing their exposure to the air and trying to minimize the loss of heat from their bodies

While the friends don't know if the cold will cause any trouble to the elves lurking in the nearby trees, it's clear that they want to

After a long enough time, although everyone was sleepy, no one dared to sleep

Finally the first rays of dawn came from the east

Seeing that it was dawn, Memphik pointed to the east and shouted

His voice captivated Joika, Ray, and Alice at the same time

Well, he was finally able to fight back, and Ray lifted his spear, quite excited, and the tiredness and depression that had come down all night were swept away

Alice also summoned the True Martial Armor to wear on her body, and she was already in the best shape of the battle

Wait a little longer, it's not yet full light, and we still have no chance of winning, and Joyka stops him

Ray nodded, since he had stayed up all night, why not wait a few more minutes

Soon, the sky was getting brighter and brighter, and several figures in the trees were also captured by their friends with their eyes

At this time, there are two on the big tree in the direction of my twelve, one in the direction of three o'clock, one on the eucalyptus tree at eight o'clock, one on the locust tree at five o'clock, and another one sitting on the tree at eleven o'clock, under the tree, it should be the elven magician who has exhausted his mana, Joyka, and whispered to the three companions beside him, the two at twelve o'clock, leave the three in the other direction, each of you is responsible, is there a problem?

Memfic, Ray, and Alice nodded in clarity

Brother Joyka, I have a bottle of smoke potion left here that should help you, Ischenova took out a glass bottle with yellow liquefaction from the bag she was carrying, and handed it to Joyka

Looking at the magic potion handed by Ischennova, Joyka smiled at her, and then said to her companion: "Wait a minute, after Ischennova sends out the smoke potion, my arrow will be the attack signal, as soon as I give the signal, you will attack at the same time, and if you can, please try not to hurt the lives of these elves."

After more than ten seconds, Joyka nodded to Ishnova, she understood Joyka's meaning, and smashed the glass bottle containing the yellow liquid in her hand to the ground with a thud, and in just a few seconds, a cloud of yellow gas quickly surrounded the standing and sitting companions, along with the two tents and the fire that had long been extinguished, and continued to spread outward, and Joyka, who had already positioned the target of the attack, suddenly shot an arrow at a tree directly in front of him at the moment when the smoke completely enveloped them, only to hear the sound of a branch breaking, and then the shouts of the two elves as they fell to the ground

At the same time, Ray, Memphik, and Alice lunged in three directions

Alice rushed to the village where the elf closest to them was hiding, and using the strength of the Yuewu Holy Armor to strengthen her, she struck the tree pole with both fists extremely violently, only to see that the eucalyptus tree trembled violently, and the elf sitting on the tree lost his balance and fell from the tree with a scream

And after Ray rushed out of the cover of the smoke on the ground, he rolled several times in a row to dodge the arrows of three arrows towards him, he quickly rushed to the bottom of a tree, and used the crimson spear to prop up to the ground, using the support of the spear, the whole person jumped high, and was targeted by Thunder was a female elf archer, she thought that she was sitting high enough to sit in peace, but she didn't expect Ray to jump higher than her, the female elf was shocked, she just wanted to use the bow and arrow in her hand, but was kicked down from the tree by Ray

Compared with Alice and Ray's ease, it is more difficult for Memphik to knock down the elf he is responsible for, because the elf he is targeting is the farthest away from his friends, after he ran out of the smoke, the elf has enough time to shoot several arrows at him, Monfic is hiding behind a tree, and the short distance of thirty meters is already the limit of what he can approach, but Memphik is not alone, and Joyka, who has just completed the attack mission, immediately supports him, he sees the elf's hiding place, tightens his bow and arrow, and shoots the elf arrow, and the elf archer suddenly finds that there is a powerful arrow shooting towards him, and he is startled and immediately dodgesHowever, he was still a step slower, the wooden bow in the elf's hand was taken away by the attacking arrows, and Memphik saw that he could not miss the opportunity, he immediately ran out from behind the tree where he was hiding, rushed to the tree where the elf was located, rushed more than ten meters, and then threw the long sword in his hand with all his strength, and the elf had not recovered from the horror of losing the wooden bow just now, when he saw that there was another long sword flying towards him, and the elf dodged the long sword backwards, but he himself was carried down from the tree

In an instant, it was just an instant, and the elven patrol that had still occupied the initiative was defeated all of a sudden, including a female elven magician, two men and three women, a total of five elven archers, all of whom became captives, but to everyone's expectation, among these captives, there was actually a winged elf, yes, it was the winged elf who teased them yesterday

The badass Badass Winged Elf was sitting on the shoulder of the elf mage, howling and crying

In the face of such a winged elf, everyone felt a headache and dared to love, and this elf patrol team was brought by her

By this time, Sophia, Cassius, and Lyle had finished meditating, and with the help of magic potions, they had recovered their spellcasting abilities faster than expected

We really don't mean anything, believe me, Sophia smiled and said to the elven magician, it seems that she is the leader of this elven patrol, we just want to negotiate

Hmph, if you want to kill, kill if you want us to submit, it is impossible, the female elf showed a look of disdain, and the other elves also looked disdainful on their faces

Although the elves became captives of their companions, they did not kidnap them, but only disarmed them

No, we will never kill you, because you are not enemies, our enemy is in the underground kingdom, he is a dark elf wizard, we just want to guò you here, enter the underground kingdom to take revenge, Sophia patiently explained to the temperamental female elf, she has long heard that the forest elves and the dark elves have a big grudge, so she must explain to these forest elves the reason why their group wants to enter the territory of the dark elves

Really, you mean really, you are not helping the dark elves, the female elf magician blinked, and Sophia asked

Calebrian, you must not believe the words of these humans, human beings are cunning, you can't believe that they must have come to us with bad intentions, and the other female elf next to the female elf mage Ann named Calebrian saw that Calebrian's attitude showed signs of softening, and hurriedly said to her

At the instigation of his companions, Calebrian's attitude hardened again: "Don't talk nonsense, either let us go out of the forest immediately, or you all die in the forest."

Lyle couldn't stand it anymore: What are you talking about, don't forget your current situation

Hmph, Calebrian snorted coldly, and it was you who didn't know where you were now

What Calebrian's words surprised the partners

Suddenly, countless elves appeared on the surrounding trees, and they didn't know when they touched the vicinity of their partners without them knowing, and they didn't expect these elves to come with so many reinforcements at once

Eight of their companions were once again in danger as they were pointed at an unreadable number of cold arrows.
