The Thorn Jungle is a vast primeval forest where the inhabitants have long relied on hunting for their livelihoods. Since the founding of the Great Forest City, a huge fence has been built at the edge of the jungle to prevent wild beasts from harassing the village. Only a gap of about ten meters was left as an entrance and exit to and from the jungle.

Now the entire gap has collapsed, the fence is in tatters, and some animals are beginning to emerge from the rubble. For many years, it was a place for Frank to relax on autumn hunting. Seeing the dilapidated state now, Frank felt as if the earthquake had been deliberately destroying the place.

Just as everyone was wandering in front of the fence, a roar of a beast was heard from the jungle. Years of hunting in the jungle have not heard such strange noises either. Frank realized that something different might have happened in the jungle in front of him.

So he quickly ordered the soldiers to clear a path. Everyone lined up and groped their way into the jungle. Haidt, who was in the middle of the group, was entering the jungle for the first time. The only impression of this jungle is the delicacies on the table and the horror of the jungle that Winter describes to himself all day long.

Think of Winter spending his days wondering how to go hunting in the Thorn Grove with his father. I was a little happy to be here first, but the difficult road here still made him suffer a lot.

The group moved very slowly, which was beyond Frank's expectations. The original road has long since disappeared, and everyone can only move forward while clearing the path. But it didn't take long for the jungle to begin to darken.

"Duke, the jungle here is so dense that I can't see anything clearly after watching the sky for a while, and it is too dangerous to walk any further. Brown Knights said.

"Well, the situation here is more complicated than expected. Brown, hurry up and get the fire up! Frank said, gesturing to a grove in the distance, and motioned for the Brown Knight to lead someone over there to make a fire.

After a busy moment, the soldiers lit fires all around. Haight saw that there were far more fires being raised than needed to be used, and that they were also being placed at a great distance from the team.

Haight followed Frank to a tree far from the fire and began to eat. Haidt found the food boring, but curiosity drove him to eat it in the same gulp as his elders.

Although I still wanted to ask my father why he was staying here, he could see that Frank and the others did not have the slightest intention of speaking at this time. From everyone's expressions, Haidt felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

The sound of the branches burning in the fire was especially clear in the silence of the jungle. Frank stared at the nearest flame, thinking about what had happened recently.

In the flames, he seemed to see his past wars, those bloody figures. Thinking about it, he gradually realized that the unfamiliar voice was somewhat familiar. Suddenly, the earth began to shake again. The jungle, which had been silent, suddenly became chaotic, dead branches and leaves fell one after another, and the sounds of various beasts mixed into everyone's ears.

Just as everyone was embarrassed by the falling debris, several arrows shot at them from the woods. The soldiers, who had been prepared for it, hurriedly relied on nearby trees for protection.

After a flurry of attacks, Franco leaned against a large tree with Haight, listening carefully to the changes in his surroundings. But the lightning attack just now made Haidt feel an unprecedented sense of excitement. This is the first time Haight has encountered a real enemy, which is very different from the usual competition of his brothers.

It didn't take long for the attack to stop, and everyone held their breath with their weapons in hand. After a quick look at the bow and arrow shot at the tree, Frank leaned his head against the tree and closed his eyes, saying, "Haidt, stay where you are. I'll pick you up in a moment. ”

Hayton nodded, and saw Frank pick up the bow and arrows he had taken from the tomb. He quickly ran to the nearby trees, turned around and raised his hand to pull up the bow and arrow in his hand. I saw that the moment the bow and arrow were pulled away, a blue flame turned into an arrow. With Frank letting go, the rocket flew out like lightning. The whole body of the arrow is getting bigger and bigger. In an instant, the distant jungle was pierced into a huge hollow. The rays of the setting sun instantly fell from the sky.

Frank then fired the same rocket in several other directions. As the light in the jungle brightened, dozens of figures jumped from the towering trees.

In an instant, all the soldiers swarmed up. Fight with enemies coming down from the trees.

The visceral roar and splashing blood made up an indescribable painting in Haidt's eyes. The classic scenes in the books he had read were none as good as the eruption of blood vessels at this time.

The battle was soon over, and although a few Odoman took advantage of the chaos to escape, most of the enemy was not destroyed.

Brown counted and found that more than a dozen soldiers had died in the battle. After organizing a simple ritual for them, Frank buried them.

He ordered the bodies of these Otens of thousands to be buried by the way, and just as everyone was beginning to repair them, Frank came to Brown and said, "Brown, I don't think it's so easy to end it. The two earthquakes so far, I think, were man-made. ”

"What do you want to do, Duke, if it's man-made, then our battle losses below will be very large. Brown said, thrusting his sword back into its scabbard.

"I think the power of the Red Feather Bow just now, Okuman has already seen it. There will be no more sneak attacks for the time being. But if they were able to shake the earth, they must have held some other powerful artifact. The previous voice was both strange and familiar. I felt like the voice of a dragon. ”

This sentence surprised Brown a little, and he said, "The Red Dragon has been killed by Walter." Don't you think about it! There won't be another dragon. ”

Listening to Brown's words, Frank looked at the sky and vaguely felt that the sun had completely set over the mountain. Traces of stars began to appear.

"Then wait for Oppe! he knows more than anyone else. We hope that the situation we encounter this time is not too big. As he spoke, Frank sat down beside a tree, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Seeing the Duke begin to sleep, Brown took out his cloak and covered Frank's body. I sat next to it. Haight came over and saw that his father had fallen asleep, and asked in a low voice, "Father, is he asleep?"

"Yes, asleep. Using the Hallows took too much of his physical strength. Take a few hours off each time. As he spoke, Brown took out a small bottle from his waist and took a few sips.

"What's the name of that bow? Haight looked at his father's bow. At this point, the bow, which had once glowed with blue flames all over its body, became extremely ordinary.

"It's called a red feather bow. It is a rare weapon-type holy weapon, and it is the weapon that the old duke is best at. ”

"Did my grandfather love to use this bow? Seeing how powerful it is, I rarely see any mention of it in books. ”

"At that time, I was a young man in my teens, and I was also the old duke's personal bodyguard. Every time he was on the battlefield, he would use this artifact to crush enemy camps. It can be said that there has never been a lost battle. Brown said with a look of pride.

"But what about the Flame Sword, it should be the most powerful!" said Haight, wondering what was in his mind.

"I don't know about this, only the Duke knows! The use of each artifact comes at a great cost. Maybe that's why, anyway, I've never seen the true power of the Yanmang Sword. Brown said, shaking the bottle in his hand. Leaning to the side, he also closed his eyes.

Seeing that everyone was beginning to rest, Haidt sat down beside his father, Frank, and looked up at the growing stars, imagining what he would look like when he grew up.

At this time, there is one person in Dragonclaw City who wants to grow up more than Haidt, and he is Winter. Since his brother Walter freed Ovan from prison, Winter has become less and less understanding of his brother's actions. In particular, Walter secretly put an Ovan in his own room.

Winter wanted to talk about these things several times, but he understood what kind of predicament the eldest brother would face if all this was known to others. He thought sullenly that he would grow up soon, and perhaps he would be able to understand what his brother Walter was doing now.

At this time, Walter had no intention of dealing with anything except to take care of the injured Silana. After Knight Xiao Hua reported everything, he said apologetically: "There is also the situation of those few O'10,000 people, I have already inspected the houses in the city one by one. But there was still no news. I think they'd already run out of town. ”

Hearing the word Owan, Walter said with some unnaturalness on his face: "Knight, you have done your best. Those people are very cunning guys. If they can find a way to get out of prison, they also have a way to make it impossible for people to find them. This matter is also something that I didn't handle carefully, and you should have continued to recuperate, and I bothered you to worry about it repeatedly. ”

"When the Duke left, he entrusted me. Now that this kind of thing has happened, he will definitely blame you when he comes back. Knight Xiao Hua said.

Walter hurriedly walked up to Knight Xiao Hua and said, "Knight, you've been working hard all these days. Please accept my worship. ”

"Don't do that, that's what I'm supposed to do. If nothing else, I'll go back and rest. It's all because I didn't do it well. The Shaw Knight was taken aback by Walter's move.

Seeing that the Shaw Knight blamed himself again and again, Walter felt that there was no taste in his heart. So he told Arnold to order the kitchen to prepare for Knight Shaw to eat together. But Knight Xiao Hua hurriedly refused, saying, "I know your good intentions, but I'm too tired after a day of running." I'll go back first!"

Seeing that Knight Xiao Hua said this, Walter accompanied him all the way out of the castle. When he returned, Walter returned to his room with the food Arnold had prepared, and with a sad face.

These days, Walter is always on the lookout. I think about the situation in my room all the time, and I don't dare to make a mistake. In order to reduce as many people as possible who may approach here. He had ordered all of his attendants to clean the room and moved the guards away.

And every time he came to the door, he would always recall the way Winter looked at him a few days ago, and inwardly told him that it was a look of doubt and disappointment. Thinking about it, he pushed open the door and walked in.

But as soon as the door closed, a cold dagger was placed on Walter's neck.

Walter looked to the side, and Slana was standing beside him with a dagger.

"Have you been waiting for me for a long time?" said Walter, unmoved. He placed the food box in his hand on the table and sat down on the chair next to him.

Walter's reaction was beyond Slanna's expectations, and she recognized the man the moment the dagger was placed on Walter's neck. Several times of constant encounters made her very familiar with the person in front of her.

Slana held the dagger in her hand and asked, "What about Durand, have they been killed by you?" ”

"Duland, you mean the leader among you, I think they're back in your land by now. Walter said and stopped looking at Silanna, but opened the lunch box and took out the food from it and put it on the table.

When Silana heard that Durand and the others had gone back, she excitedly walked to Walter's side and said, "You can send me out too!" ”

Walter couldn't help but smile when he heard Silana say this. I didn't expect you, a murderer who doesn't blink, to beg for help." ”

"Hey, looks like you need me to give you some color to see if it's okay. Slana said and put the dagger on Walter's neck again.

Sensing that the dagger was about to plunge into his neck, Walter stretched out his hands and said, "Alright." I was going to send you away when I rescued you. You, a wanted enemy, will be discovered in my room sooner or later. If the news leaks out, I'll be miserable. ”

"And when are you going to send me back?" Slana pulled the dagger back into her hand, her eyes staring straight at Walter.

Seeing that Slana was no longer in the dagger, Walter took out the last piece of food from the lunch box and said, "You are recovering faster than I expected, but you haven't regained your true strength yet. Send you out now, and you will also be sent to death. If you stay a few more days, I'll arrange for someone to take you back. And you're so unclothed, it's going to make people feel strange wherever you go!"

After hearing this, Silana looked at herself. At this time, there was no other clothing on his body except the bandage that bound the wound. She hurriedly wrapped herself from the bed and sat down in front of Walter.

Seeing that Silana was staring at the food on the table, Walter hurriedly pushed the food in front of her and said, "You eat first! ”

Silana didn't pay attention to it, and casually picked up the food in front of her and began to eat. Walter watched the strange-looking woman in front of him gobble up. Recalling the way Silana met him just now, Walter's face felt a little hot.
