Just when they were vigilant, as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Don't do it! It's me! ”

Hearing the low voice of the rapidly approaching thing, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw a familiar figure emerge from the dense forest.

"Needham...... What happened? ”

The elf man in the lead asked, although he was also relieved, but he keenly noticed the undisguised panicked look on the other party's face.

This situation is rare, the other party is a person specially sent by his father to protect him, and he is also a legendary figure in the tribe, who once traveled to the human countries when he was young, and his strength has reached the level of a high-level professional.

Able to single-handedly take on a variety of powerful magical creatures, he can often single-handedly destroy the dastardly slave hunters who break into the forest, and is always asked by his father to explore some uncivilized and dangerous areas......

This is also the reason why when the other party didn't come back on time just now, and was a little late, everyone would immediately feel that it was a big trouble, and it was normal for others to delay for a while, but he shouldn't make such a mistake.

"Don't be silent just yet...... Something is coming! It's nearby, don't alarm it! ”

Needham didn't explain, just made a silent gesture, and whispered this sentence to his companion quickly and urgently, looking extremely nervous.

Although he is a relatively more experienced master, after all, he is a forest spirit whose lifespan is often two or three hundred years, and if he gets a breakthrough, he will only last longer, so Needham looks as young as everyone else.

Only his eyes and temperament can distinguish him, and he is always different from these young people.

“……”

“……”

Everyone was silent, and Needham's nervousness affected them as well, and someone quickly extinguished the campfire, leaving no light in the dark woods, and everyone hid in the shadows.

Time passed slowly, and only the moonlight cast through the cracks in the forest did not seem to change, and even the wind stopped, and there was silence.

I don't know when it began, but the forest at night became so quiet, and slowly even the dullest elves noticed that something was wrong, it was too dead and silent.

There were no birds, no insects, no animal sounds...... This is so unusual that, in their experience, it often means that there are extremely powerful predators nearby, and the entire area becomes a hunting ground.

Even other beasts and monsters could not avoid it, even the overlords and carnivores of this area in the past had also become prey at this moment......

Quietly, there was a certain terrifying aura spreading, and unconsciously, some people felt that their legs and necks were weak, and the hand holding the weapon could not lift the strength.

With the smell of blood permeating, there was a clear sound of trees breaking and falling not far away in a certain direction, and the sound of some behemoth moving heavily, as if a huge body was moving around in the forest.

Voices and smells wafted from afar, including the wails of their prey before they died, the sound of swallowing and biting flesh......

“……”

“……”

Everyone in this elven squad turned pale, they felt a terrifying aura, and all kinds of movements indicated that some terrifying giant beast was not far from them and the others, maybe hundreds of meters away......

If it weren't for the darkness and the lack of trees, they would probably have been able to see what it was.

No, it's better not to see it, just that kind of breath and invisible coercion have already made many people's faces pale, and the two trembles, and their whole bodies tremble like chaff, and they can't stop it.

If they saw it with their own eyes again, that visual impact might be the last straw, causing fear to break through their sane defenses.

Not to mention...... When they can see that thing, that thing will be able to see them.

The whole body was stiff, the scalp was numb, and the consciousness was blank, and everyone could only barely turn their brains and think about what it was.

This is the edge of the forest, not the depths or the central part of the world where no one has dared to set foot since ancient times, and there really shouldn't be a behemoth of this level...... Because the nearby ecosystem simply can't support their needs.

So, what the hell is this, breaking into here?!

The night was quiet, only the sound of the giant beast in the distance was biting and swallowing, and the smell of blood became stronger and stronger, but no one dared to move, or make some sounds, for fear of attracting the attention of the unknown monster.

Finally, when the thing seemed to have finished eating, a dull roar, a beast roar that had never been heard before, and the strong coercion emanating from close range, almost made them almost fall to their knees.

Immediately afterward, a violent air current, the surrounding trees shook, and the branches and leaves rubbed against each other to make a rustling sound in the wind.

In the whirring wind, they subconsciously looked up, only to see a huge black shadow stretching its huge wings in the sky above the forest, passing low, flying high, and quickly moving away.

“……”

“……”

A succession of gasps sounded, and everyone was almost suffocated just now, and now they finally had a chance to breathe.

"Needham...... Is that...... What's that? ”

The elven man at the head asked in a low voice, his condition was slightly better, but it was not much better, that terrifying aura and coercion were like substance, he had never felt so powerless.

No wonder there is no big movement even to hunt and eat, if you don't get closer, you can hardly find it, in front of the huge black shadow just now, I'm afraid that ordinary creatures don't even have the courage to resist, and they can't run.

What is the need for hunting? Whatever it wants to eat, it can fly down and land in front of its prey, and then it's time to feast.

"I don't know, I almost hit my head first, so I didn't notice it, and then I made a detour to come back......" Needham shook his head, then paused before smiling bitterly, "Or maybe it has already noticed me, it's just not interested in dealing with me." ”

A behemoth of that size, compared to a forest elf like him, it is really not enough for the other party to stuff his teeth, and it is normal not to be on the other party's recipe.

"So what should we do?"

The elven man known as Griffin frowned, as if faced with a difficult choice.

"Master Griffin, I think...... You can't just let it go, you have to find out what that thing is, it's a great threat to the forest and to us here, and your father will definitely send someone to track it down in the future. ”

Needham said seriously, he felt that this was very dangerous, but at the same time it was also an opportunity, and it was impossible to ignore it anyway, and it was necessary to send someone to figure it out later.

In that case, why not chase it while it's just right to run into it and figure it out all at once? Wait until later, send someone over, waste time and delay the opportunity, not to mention, you may not be able to catch the traces of that thing again.

After that, it is difficult to say what the consequences will be...... Just like those despicable humans, they used to always think that after discovering the traces of each other, they would put a long line to catch big fish and wipe out those enemies.

As a result, the enemy quickly attacked the nearby tribes, and after capturing the lone elves, they retreated and fled, making them mad with hatred.

After that, no one did such a stupid thing, basically they found the traces of the enemy and directly surrounded them, killed them cleanly, and then went to the next camp, which was much more efficient in fighting crime.

After some discussion, it was decided that Villanica and the others would rush back first, while Griffin and Needham would take the risk to chase after them.

It was a very dangerous thing to move through the forest at night, but the terrifying monster was unbeatable, and the two of them ran down the path it flew through, all the way through unimpeded.

It was as if all the other beasts and monsters were so frightened that they all scattered as birds and beasts, whether they were in the nest or those who came out to forage at night, they all fled far away, and they didn't dare to stay where they were.

Even though the speed couldn't keep up, the trail was obvious, and the thing didn't fly too far—

"It seems to be a misty woodland up ahead, so that thing's lair can't be in it, right?"

Needham muttered to himself, he stopped and waited for Griffin to regain his strength, the other party was the next tribal leader, but the strength was obviously different from him, after all, he was too young.

"Misty Glades? This one...... It should be no problem, those death mists haven't appeared in more than ten years, and the Lord of the Plague must have stopped watching this area for a long time......"

Griffin gasped, then straightened up, deciding that he wanted to go deeper.

The name of the Misty Glades only appeared decades ago, when an elven tribe here had just fought against the beast tide, and then was attacked by humans, killing and wounding more than half of them, and then a terrible plague broke out......

The Lord of the Plague is an evil god, and it's not clear whether it exists or not, but that's what everyone says. Besides, the miasma that the corpses swelled and exploded, and the miasma that escaped after decomposing was like a pale mist, haunting large areas of woodland, and not even the wind could blow, and to say that such an abnormal phenomenon would not arouse suspicion would be to take people for fools.

Eventually, the wooded area became a dead land, hence the name, but time changes everything, and divine power cannot compete with it, so the fog has completely dissipated more than ten years ago.

……

……

Just as the two forest elves were heading towards the misty woodland, in the deepest part of the woodland.

Just went out to hunt for food, as if the bipedal wyvern of the forest overlord showing the power of the king was obediently landing, as a matter of course, cooperating with those small humans, busy with various jobs.

In addition to it, there are other three-headed flying dragons, more than ten meters long, huge bodies and sharp claws, full of deterrence, but they are working hard as porters, rushing to do physical work.

In addition, there are huge giants, all of whom are more than three meters tall, cutting and carrying trees, and obeying the commands of magicians.

These are not so much giants as giant slaves, they are all powerful creatures in the original world, but they cannot escape the fate of enslavement with the change of royal power...... Now that I'm alive again, I don't know if I'll be able to regain my freedom.

The magicians of the Red Bronze Black Cross and the Bronze Black Cross were obviously holding their breath, and they were silently fighting against their rivals.

The dense woodland was quickly cleared and leveled, and after a few fires from the Wyvern, a camp was set up on it.

In just half a day, a huge camp, or in the eyes of this age of this world, is simply the prototype of a city, has been built.

Legions of Lustric knights, fully armoured, shield-wielding, weapon-wielding, patrolled the ever-expanding territory around them, not saying a word.

Compared with the small fights and even covert interference in the past, the plan to support the forces and prepare to hide behind the scenes to obtain benefits......

Now that they have greatly increased their confidence, they are simply making it clear that the carriages and horses are going to engage in land development in another world, and they have the attitude that Lao Tzu is coming to colonize openly.
