Chapter 888: Dark Forest

More than a year passed quickly.

To the north of Silvermoon City, in the midst of a vast forest of darkness.

The moonlight in the sky was obscured by the thick trees towering like clouds, and the surrounding area was dark and quiet, filled with a sense of foreboding.

A small group of hybrid elven and human armies dressed in the uniforms of the Silvermoon City Guards are making their way through the dark forest.

"This is it!"

Squad Leader Orlan pushed aside a thick bush and looked at the dark brown blood on the ground, his eyes filled with weight.

"Thunderlin!" it turned to look at the mage behind it.

[Evil Detection]!

Lei Lin was wearing a mage uniform at this time, and the whole person looked majestic and solemn, with a faint mature temperament.

The light of the spell quickly cast in his hand, and then reached the pool of blood on the ground.

Hisss!!Hiss!!

A streak of black air rose into the air, circled around the place, and then pointed to something else.

"All on alert!" Oran's voice was low, and the others were already clenching their weapons as it shouted.

Even Lei Lin's face was very solemn at this time.

Because this is the Dark Forest!Dangerous Land, full of beasts who believe in Marat, the god of hunting, and they form a powerful tribe that hosts the civilized life of Silvermoon City in the name of black blood.

The friction, and even the battle, between the city guards and the beasts, is the most dangerous thing to do besides the invasion of the Orc Empire in the Sunrise Mountains.

"It's up to you!" Orlan and the other members followed the spell's guidance to a dark cave, and Orlan immediately gestured to Leylin.

The tacit understanding that had been cultivated for a long time made Lei Lin nod, and the other members around him couldn't help but take a deep breath. Then, Lei Lin pointed into the cave!

【Illumination!】

A puff of white light shone through in an instant. Several crossbows carrying [Demon Breaking Arrows] have been aimed here, ready to fire at any time.

Under the light of illumination. Everything in the cavern was unobstructed, but it was empty, except for the tattered clothing and skeletons on the ground.

The clothes were badly damaged, but they could still be faintly recognizable in the form of the city guards, and several fragments were still mottled with bloodstains, which had turned dark brown at this time.

"Kyle, Rosa! Confirm that the other party is the missing ranger!"

Orlan picked up a badge with his name on it from the fragments of his clothes, and although it looked more like a dog tag in Leylin, he muttered solemnly, "Is this arrangement a ritual for the god of hunting?

Marat, the god of the hunt. He is a god who can make people smell and change color.

Although it is only a weak divine power, the other party is very fond of killing, and most of the believers are a group of murderous beasts.

Unlike orcs, bestials retain only some of the characteristics of beasts, as well as indeterminate genetic diseases, which look like symptoms of genetic instability in Leylin.

Legend has it that these beasts came from the mages' laboratories, and Leylin supports them.

It is precisely because of their own pain that the spirits of those beasts are more paranoid. He has a hatred for all other beings and loves to kill, which coincides with the idea of the god of hunting.

Orcs can still be converted into slaves after being captured, but for beasts. It's a dream!

The Dark Forest is the gathering place of these beasts, and they have also formed a very large tribe - the Black Blood, which occupies the entire northern part of the Dark Forest. It's even enough to threaten Silvermoon City.

That Silver Moon City Lord, Lady Hope. Out of some kindness or other considerations, the forest rangers were actively dispatched for a time. Hopefully it will improve the living environment of other species in the Dark Forest, but there are many attacks on them.

This Kyle is clearly one of the unfortunate.

"Kyle Rosa, you are a faithful and brave ranger, and the great suffering of the world does not pollute your soul, may you rest in the kingdom of God......"

Oran prayed that he was not only a powerful Ranger, but also a priest.

As Orlan prayed, Leylin and the rest of the team bowed their heads in respect.

And at this moment, Leylin's eyes suddenly moved.

"Someone!"

The thieves in the team were the second to find out, and a throwing knife had been shot directly into the darkness next to it.

"Woo ......"

There was a muffled grunt in the darkness, like the roar of a beast, and then the leaves beside it trembled.

"It's a beast!"

A warrior in armor went over to remove the barrier, and only saw a trail of blood, but the fur next to it was very conspicuous.

Although those beasts have congenital genetic diseases, they also have powerful vitality and other strange abilities, which are rumored to be given by the [legendary mage] who created them.

"Our mission is to search, not annihilate!

Oran's hand held the elven rapier at his waist, but he finally reluctantly let go.

Hide and seek with the beasts in the dark forest, it will do it when it is crazy, those beasts are the best hunters, under the home field advantage, unless the whole army is driven over, and then the high-level mages and legends are used to open the way, there is a little possibility of bulldozing the dark forest.

Although Orlan retreated quickly, they were overtaken by the beasts who came later.

The roars and roars of wild beasts were constantly heard all around, and the shade of the trees was whispering, and it seemed like they were all damn beasts, making everyone in the team look ugly.

"Damn it!

Orlan took off the longbow from his back and mounted the arrow with the gray eagle feathers.

"Hmm! [Demonized Weapon]!"

Lei Lin and the other party had cooperated many times before, and they had a tacit understanding of each other, and a circle of spell light extended from the arrow.

Oran's eyes were like those of an eagle falcon, and the bowstring in his hand suddenly loosened!

Shout!

Elven archery skills are always very good, not to mention that Orlan is still a [Ranger], almost the moment it let go, there was a muffled snort in the darkness, and then a huge black shadow fell - of course, ordinary arrows can't break through the defense of beasts, but demonized arrows have no problems.

[Demonic Weapon!] [Force Field Shift!] [Ox Power!]

Lei Lin kept moving, and a lot of amplification light had already spread on the other team members.

"Well done!" Orlan exclaimed, in fact, it had been afraid that the new colleague would be arrogant and disobedient due to his magical talents, but the other party's performance was clearly beyond its expectations.

Not only is he very obedient, but he also works well with his teammates - he doesn't feel like a mage!

"Perhaps, after going back, it will be time for Leylin's shoulder title to be changed...... With Lei Lin's qualifications and merits, I'm afraid that the promotion will be a matter of this month......"

Orlan thought to himself, but then he put the matter behind him, no matter what the future holds, he must get out alive to be eligible for it!

"Kill them!" a shrill sound of metal grinding came out of the darkness, and then the surrounding beasts rushed at Leylin as if they were crazy.

"Follow me, let's break through !!"

Orlan gritted his teeth, and the bow in his hand shot arrows in succession, then threw the wooden bow and drew the thin sword at his waist.

As a military mage, Lei Lin was protected in the middle and did not suffer any harm.

"In battle, the mage's spell slot must serve his companions, but the mage's spell slot is limited, so his own safety must be protected by other teammates, in this case, unless he is the kind of friend who lives and dies, it is almost impossible to cooperate well......"

Lei Lin also pretended to be eager at this time, and the lightning and flames in his hands shot out, turning several beasts who rushed over into corpses.

"I'm running out of spell slots!"

He yelled with a solemn face, this is actually a lie, whether it is the first few levels of spells that can be directly cast by relying on spiritual power, or the [Mage Ring], they have left a lot of strength for Lei Lin, but after all, it has to be kept secret, isn't it?

"How many spell slots do you have left?"

Oran couldn't even bother to wipe the blood on his face at this time, completely lacking the elegance and demeanor of an elf, and looked at Lei Lin nervously.

Without the support of spells, they would not have been able to break through the blockade of these beasts.

"There is also a [Dead Cloud Technique] in the level 5 spell slot, and the rest is only left with level 1 and level 0 tricks......"

Lei Lin replied with a 'heavy' face: "In the forest, I have no way to be visible and recover......"

"Damn! Everyone immediately broke through, how many can run, Lei Lin, you follow me, and when most of the people leave, release the spell immediately!"

Oran and another full-time priest in the team, Jin Qian, also lit up with the light of divine magic, although Oran's priest level is very low, but the priest's divine skill does not require spiritual power and mana, and only needs to pray every day to obtain the divine power position, which is extremely convenient.

After a few healing spells, several of the other warriors regained their vitality, and even minor injuries on their bodies were recovered.

With this strength, Orlan finally broke through the siege with difficulty.

"It's now!" Orlan hissed.

Thunder Lin pointed behind him, and the terrifying cloud of death spread, enveloping all the beasts.

"Let's go!"

Under the hope of life, the other survivors plucked up their courage and followed behind Oran.

......

"It's finally out!"

Oran looked at the scattered team members behind him, and there was hatred on his face.

"Those damn beasts, they've been moving more and more lately...... Also, Lei Lin, thanks to you this time, the timing of a few spells is also in place, which I will explain in the future debriefing......"

"Next, let's go home!"

Orlan looked at the outline of the dark forest in the distance, and there was a heaviness in his eyes, but when he turned around, he had changed his expression. (To be continued.) )
