XXIX. Rescue Operations

Xiao Tianjian asked anxiously, "Is Radlow injured?" How so?! He couldn't help but feel anxious when he thought that the son he hadn't yet recognized was silver-white hair.

But Funoya was still calm: "That's not Radlow's blood, his blood is red." She glanced at her old lover with a complicated expression, "This is the only thing that distinguishes him from the elves." ”

His son also bleeds bright red blood with him, and this realization makes Xiao Tianjian happy in his heart. He didn't know why he had such a thought at such a time, so he shook his head and calmed down a little: "Who did it?" When was it? Who are those mercenaries? ”

"They're your kind, don't you know anything?" Luwana was still mean.

Xiao Tianjian couldn't help but glared angrily when he heard this: "What do you think I will do to my son?!" If I want to hurt you elves, why would I spend so much effort to help you exterminate the Snow Monster?! ”

Luwana choked and looked away. She has always been unaccustomed to human beings, and she is used to sneering at them, Xiao Tianjian rarely refutes it, but she didn't expect that today she kicked the iron plate.

Xiao Tianjian ignored her anymore and turned his head to Lao Qiao. As the de facto master of Wraith Town, this old friend must know the details.

Lao Qiao was afraid of the presence of the elves, so he didn't make a sound, and when he saw Xiao Tianjian taking the initiative to ask, he replied, "It's yesterday." The human mercenaries were fresh-faced, uninterested in the precious herbs and birds and animals of the forest, and would not say who introduced them, but would just wander around and pester. I inquired about where the elves lived, or they wanted to have them taken into the forest, and asked if there were any mysteries in the forest. They don't look like good people, so they don't want to pay attention to them, so they just play up the idea of children and young people. A few of us were afraid of something and asked them to leave. They refused at first, but when they saw that we were tough, they agreed. But they disappeared suddenly, and I didn't even pay for the room, and I thought they were really gone, but I didn't expect to find the bloodstains when I cleaned up the room. I immediately went to check on the townspeople, and only the little prince was missing. ”

Lucien took the end of the conversation lightly: "As soon as the patrol received the report, they blocked the entire border, and at this time it was also found that two children were missing from the station, they were still playing in the forest half a day ago, and we found traces of struggle in the place where they last stayed. All we know is that they haven't left the confines of the Elven Forest yet, but those human mercenaries are so cunning that they leave almost no clues. ”

Lao Qiao nodded, and said to Xiao Tianjian: "Xiao, those people are veterans, we don't know their purpose, and we don't know why they kidnapped the child, but they have blocked the little prince and Minna a few times before, and those eyes are disgusting to look at." ”

Xiao Tianjian's face was already blue at this time: "They have eaten the leopard's gall, how dare they ...... How dare you beat my son's idea......"

Funoya's face turned pale, and she said to him calmly: "Xiao, you are a human being, and you have been a mercenary, you must know their habits very well, I need your help, as long as you can save the three children safely, I ...... I won't blame you anymore. Her voice trembled.

Xiao Tianjian hurriedly said, "Why do you say that? Radlow is also my son, and of course I will save him. ”

Funoya shook her head: "It's not just him, there are two other children, they are equally important. ”

Xiao Tianjian didn't agree with this statement, but at this time, he didn't say anything, so he turned back to his granddaughter and said, "Minna, grandpa is going to save Xiaola, you obediently wait here for me to come back, don't run around, you know?" ”

Minna listened to it for so long, and knew that the matter was important, so she solemnly said to her grandfather: "Grandpa wants to save Xiaola, you all have to be safe." ”

Xiao Tianjian smiled and touched her head, turned to Fu Nuoya and said, "Please send food over regularly, this child is still young." Funoya nodded, "I see." After a pause, he added, "Lucien will go with you." ”

Xiao Tianjian looked at his old rival with a cold face, and felt a little unhappy in his heart, but Lucien was far more familiar with the elven forest than himself, and now it was important to save his son, so he couldn't care so much, so he hurriedly confessed a few words, and left with Lucien and Old Qiao.

As soon as they left, Funoya shook as if she had lost all her strength, and sat down on her chair limply, and Luwana hurriedly supported her: "Princess, are you alright?" ”

Funoya shook her head, but tears fell like pearls with broken threads: "Radlow......"

Minna looked sad and hurriedly said, "Xiaola will be fine, my grandfather is the most powerful, and no one is his opponent." "Although he has suffered losses from Warcraft, it is Warcraft, not a human.

Luwana ignored her, and only cared about comforting Funoya, who slowly wiped the tears from her face, and smiled reluctantly at Minna: "Child, I hope things are as you say......"

Minna was the only one left in the room, and she looked around and suddenly felt a little cold.

Will Lara be fine? What the hell are the bad guys trying to do? They are really annoying. Will Grandpa get her out of here? Why does she always feel that something bad is going to happen?

In order to forget these thoughts, she decided to find something to do to pass the time. But just now they were about to leave for Phantom Spirit Town, almost all of their luggage was in Xiao Tianjian's storage ring, she only had a few changes of clothes and some miscellaneous items on her, and the potions and magic textbooks were all left in the inn and didn't bring them, what could she do?

This treehouse is Xiao Tianjian's old residence twenty years ago, there are only furniture and some old daily necessities left in the house, when Xiao Tianjian came to destroy the demonic beasts before, he acted with the elves, and he didn't return here until he was injured, so the house was simply cleaned. Minna rummaged around, and she found some old pots and pans, old quilts, old clothes, and a few books.

One of those books had many illustrations, and it seemed to be a story of elves, and Minna had seen similar books from Ladlow, but she couldn't read the elven language on it, so she just looked at the pictures and threw it aside.

There was also a parchment-bound booklet, which contained a kind of writing that she had never seen before, like squares, very complex, and some like pictures. Judging from the format of these words, it is a bit like the diary that my mother often writes, is this my grandfather's previous diary?

Throwing things away, she felt a little hungry. The elves did bring food, but after they put their things down, they left without even saying a word, and they did not want to reveal the progress of the search.

All the fruit was delivered, and in the colder north the weather, it was not enough to eat these to warm up. Minna followed the method she had learned before, boiling water in an old pot and drinking it, and occasionally throwing fruit into it, but it didn't taste good.

She stumbled upon a finger-sized fish in the creek, with an almost transparent body that could be seen with a bright red spine inside. Thinking that he hadn't eaten meat for a long time, he threw himself in the water for a long time, and finally caught two of them, threw them into the pot, and cooked a little fish soup.

The fish soup was fragrant, but unfortunately there was no taste because she didn't have salt. However, on a windy autumn night, it is still very happy to be able to eat hot soup. She began to feel that she could take care of herself even without her grandfather.

In the middle of the night, she was woken up by pain, as if there was a fire burning in her stomach, and the pain made her die and live, and her body was cold and hot for a while, and she kept breaking out in a cold sweat. Is she sick?

Tightly wrapped in the layers of sheets, she bit her lip and endured the pain, and couldn't help crying, but no one heard her scream. I don't know how long it took, it seemed that the sky outside was white and dark, black and white, and when Minna finally woke up from her coma, the clothes she was wearing had been changed, and there was a bag of newly delivered fruit on the table.

She was weak, but her stomach no longer hurt, but she was gurgling. She hurriedly stuffed a few fruits down, but she was wondering in her heart: Why hasn't Grandpa come back yet? Did he get Ra out?

====================== I'm the dividing line ===================== that transforms perspectives

Xiao Tianjian's search and rescue operation has not been smooth. Those mercenaries were really veterans, and there was no way to find their traces. If it weren't for the elves holding the border and making sure they were still within the forest, he would have almost thought they had escaped.

On the third day of Radlow's disappearance, Xiao Tianjian and Lucien received a message from the elves' station, one of the elves had unfortunately died, the soul light had returned to the mother tree, his parents were grief-stricken, and more elves joined the search operation. The half-elves were under a lot of pressure because they couldn't detect the evil deeds of the gangsters in time, and they all went out to search back and forth on the forest border.

Xiao Tianjian's heart was even more anxious, although his youngest son was like an elf, but after all, he was not an elf, if he really had three longs and two shorts, he might not be able to return to the mother tree like the dead elf, and after a few years, decades, and then re-conceived. He quickened his search, searched more carefully, and didn't even sleep to spend more time looking for someone.

As they searched deep into the eastern part of the forest, Lucien unexpectedly spotted knotted weeds. It's not obvious, but it's a talent that is unique to Radlow. Xiao Tianjian listened to Lucien's words, and hurriedly followed the grass knot with him, slowly finding a place less than two kilometers east of the Elf King City, and finally found the traces of the mercenaries.

Radlow and the other elf were fine, but they looked a little weak, and the mercenaries were five in total, and they were very tightly guarded, and it was difficult to find a gap.

But both Xiao Tianjian and Lucien were very confident in their abilities, and the rescue operation soon began. While the mercenaries were asleep at dawn, Lucien hid behind a tree and fired the first arrow, killing one of them. But the sound of the arrows breaking through the air woke up the other four, who quickly pulled the children apart, hid behind the surrounding trees, and dragged the children in front of them to act as meat shields.

Xiao Tianjian quietly sneaked behind them, silently killed one, and then approached the person who held his son hostage.

However, the black-toothed man was quite powerful, and soon noticed his movements, and pulled Radlow to avoid it. Xiao Tianjian recognized him as the leader of the demon five, who was known for his ferocity among the mercenaries, and secretly screamed in his heart, wanting to find an opportunity to subdue him, but because he was afraid of the dagger that was always on his son's neck, he couldn't use it, and after Lucien rescued the elf, his side was still in a stalemate.

"Let the child go, as long as you don't resist, we won't kill you." Xiao Tian Kendao, "Elves don't like to kill. ”

The black-toothed man grinned, "Are you joking?" He glanced at the corpse of his companion on the ground, and quickly withdrew his gaze, "Put down your sword and stand back, or I'll cut this little girl's throat!" With that, he pressed the dagger against the child's neck, and a trace of blood immediately appeared on Radlow's neck. The young half-elf raised his eyes to look at Xiao Tianjian and pursed his mouth tightly.

Xiao Tianjian was anxious in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and slowly put the sword on the ground, but his eyes were always fixed on the black-toothed man. He still has a lot of swords in his ring, and one less is nothing, but how can he save the child?

The black-toothed man was overjoyed when he saw his sword out of his hand, and dragged the child back, motioning for another companion who was still alive to follow, and at that moment, an arrow came from behind and knocked off the dagger in his hand, but his feet were entangled in grass and he could not move. Radlow took the opportunity to break free and was about to flee forward, but the black-toothed man was so fierce that his big hand clamped his neck, and the thick knuckles showed how powerful his owner was, and it only took a moment to break the child's slender neck.

Xiao Tianjian was so anxious that he didn't care about holding the sword, so he pounced, grabbed the black-toothed man's hand, pressed the opponent's body tightly, and punched the hateful face. Although he is famous for his swordsmanship, he has also learned boxing, and in terms of hard fists, he is no worse than others at all.

But his opponent this time was not easy to deal with, although he was beaten by that punch, his knee took the opportunity to go up, intending to slam Xiao Tianjian's crotch, but he found it and hurriedly avoided it. The black-toothed man wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but he was kicked by Xiao Tianjian and fell to the ground, and the two tore apart.

When Old Joe and the other elves arrived and tied up the other mercenary, the fight was almost over. Xiao Tianjian's head and face were bruised, and the corners of his mouth were broken, and because his hands and feet were on the same side just now, he once again triggered the injury that had not yet healed, his leg bones hurt again, and his chest was also stuffy, but looking at the black-toothed man who was more miserable than him, he was in a very happy mood, and made up a few more kicks: "Tell you to beat my son's idea!" Tell you to hit my son's idea! ”

Radlow watched him go crazy and was quickly picked up.

Lao Qiao pulled Xiao Tianjian down: "Don't kill people, we still have to ask." Xiao Tianjian let him go, but he immediately felt a sharp pain in his right leg, and secretly screamed in his heart, so he hurriedly asked Lao Qiao to help him find a place to take medicine and rest.

After checking that both Ladlow and the elf were only wounded, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Lucien hurriedly led someone to interrogate the two mercenaries. At Xiao Tianjian's suggestion, they tried the two separately, but the result of the trial was surprising.

"Treasure? Where does the treasure come from in the Elven Forest? After listening to the results of the interrogation, Xiao Tianjian couldn't help but be stunned, "Why are there such rumors?" ”
