Chapter 81: Creek Hip

A gray wolf came running from a distance with a heavy snort, stepping on the grass with a rapid "stampede" sound.

Tarrant looked at it and asked Rex for confirmation, "Is that the one from last night?"

Rex was healing himself, and his leg armor had been cut in two, and the dwarves loved to attack human legs...... Maybe they can only attack the human leg, he looked up, "Maybe." ”

Katrina retreated to Tarrant's side, her inexplicable fear of the swift, wild creature, even though she knew it wouldn't attack without permission.

The gray wolf rushed to the battlefield in the blink of an eye, stopped beside the dwarven corpse, looked down and sniffed, from head to foot, and then turned back and let out a long howl.

Last night, the ranger came from the woods and stopped in front of the three of them, surveying the devastated land and the four corpses, "You guys...... Do you?" His expression was half skeptical, half surprised.

Tarrant stepped forward and replied, "Just two minutes ago, is this the squad you're pursuing?"

The Ranger leaned over and turned the dwarven corpse over, the face was no longer visible, but the silhouette and equipment were still there, and he walked over to Rex again, looking at the stray footprints on the ground.

The Ranger can tell where his prey is going by the footprints and all kinds of subtle traces, or what happened in this place not long ago, and the Ranger in front of him is doing this, and Jerry follows the Ranger to sniff the battlefield.

"It's them," the ranger identifies the deceased, "are you all right?"

"It's okay", as long as no one dies, Tarrant is generally called okay.

"The mage......" the ranger looked at Katrina.

"Of course I'm fine," Catrina smiled reluctantly, not knowing that her face was blackened, the edges of her robes were burning a few small eyes, and the burned part of her palm was exposed, as Rex walked towards her.

The wolf king then ran out of the woods, turning into a human form, "Is that you?" he scanned the battlefield and turned back into the forest to whistle like a birdsong.

The same birdsong sounded in the woods, someone responded, Tarrant squinted his eyes and made a careful discernment, and finally found a man in grass-green clothes from the dense green leaves of the treetops, carrying a thin short bow, the archer, they were also a team of three, the ranger, the druid, and the archer, no, and Jerry.

After Rex finished treating Catherina, he asked the Ranger, "Where is your camp?"

The ranger pointed ahead, "Go ahead, there's a stream, you can see it if you go up the stream." ”

The Wolf King walked over to the charred corpse of the thief and flipped through his leather armor and poked into his pocket.

What clues they wanted to find from the corpse could be the reason for the team's pursuit.

Tarrant put away his sword, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"We can fix it ourselves", the Ranger patted Jerry's head and pointed to the mage's corpse, who ran over to the corpse and pushed his robe open with his nose.

Rex walked over to Tarrant, "We aren't needed here. "The Balance Bringers, like the Stormwind Knights, rarely collaborate with other organizations, they only trust people who are on the exact same front.

"Well", Taran nodded in agreement, "Katrina, let's go", he stepped in the direction the Ranger pointed.

The mage followed Tarrant and looked back curiously, "What are they looking for?"

"Don't be too curious, the world here doesn't belong to us, and the Emissary of Balance won't hunt down a squad for no reason. Put your energy on your feet, and be sure to reach the gathering place of the Balance Messenger today", Tarrant took her little hand and walked forward.

The team walked through the sparse woodland for about half an hour, and from the front came the sound of gurgling water, and the brook that the ranger said was almost there.

After a few minutes of walking, the sound of the water became louder and louder, and it became a rattling sound, and there were stones on the ground, and they saw the stream, which was more than ten meters wide, and there were mossy stones on both sides, and the water of the stream was clear, and they could clearly see the stones at the bottom.

Katrina shook off Tarrant's hand and jumped to the stream like a happy deer, "Wow, that's beautiful!" The flow of the stream was like a symphony of nature, and the tall green forest was relaxing, and for her, this quiet scene was much more interesting than the lifeless atmosphere of the Institute.

She crouched down and looked at her own reflection on the surface of the stream, "Wow! why my face ......", she finally found that her face was blackened, and hurriedly washed it with the stream.

Rex took out the water bag and filled the stream with water.

Tarrant walked over to the mage, "Watch out for the rocks, it's mossy and slippery. "He had learned that if he stepped on the moss, he would fall into the stream if he lost his balance.

Katrina wiped her face, took off her boots, and slowly put her feet into the stream, the coldness all over her body was very strange, it was like being shrouded in frost, and there was no stinging sensation, the half-hour journey had made the soles of her feet hot and swollen, and the stream cooled her whole body, as if returning to the original state, "It's so comfortable, Tarrant, come and try it." ”

She was as excited as a child seeing the creek for the first time, and Tarrant helped her and reminded, "Be careful, this stream is not shallow." "The surface of the water refracts the gaze and hides its true nature.

Katrina ignored him and stood up, the stream flowed around her ankles, rubbing the sore soles of her feet, she took a step forward, the stream didn't reach her calves, it was much deeper, the cold feeling was even stronger, she let go of her hand and waved, "It's so cool, why don't you come down?"

For the other two teammates, this is just the most common scene in the woods. Rex glanced at Tarrant, meaningful, he was urging him to hurry up and get on the road, but it was inconvenient to say directly.

It was more appropriate for Tarrant to say that, and he held out his hand, "Come here, we have to go." ”

Katrina happily leaned over to let the stream run through her fingertips, and she continued to take a step forward, which looked like just a stone of the same depth, but it didn't hit it, and her body slanted sharply, "Ah!" she instinctively propped up her hands, and most of her body was in the stream.

"Come back!" Tarrant cried out worriedly.

Katrina staggered to her feet, the water was up to her thighs, and most of her clothes and robes were wet, she turned around and took a careful step, just stepped on the stone face, the soles of her feet slipped along the moss, and the whole person fell into the stream.

The rocks at the bottom of the stream were covered with a thick layer of moss, and the flow of the stream made it difficult to keep balance, so Tarrant stepped into the stream without taking off his boots, "Steady, don't move," and stretched out his hand to Katrina.

Katrina flapped the water in a panic, the soles of her feet slipping everywhere and couldn't stand, she grabbed Tarrant's hand, just about to stabilize and slipped forward, and sat down with Tarrant.

"Stop!" Tarrant held up Katrina's hand, her armor was all in the water, it was even more difficult to stand firm, he simply sat and slowly stepped back, "Slow down", he held the shore with his left hand, and his right hand led her forward slowly.

By the time the two of them came ashore, they were all soaked, and Tarrant's body was leaking all over his body, like an oil-leaking mechanism, and the mage was wrapped in his robes, and his body looked very thin...... Very sexy, with a high and straight curve on the chest, a deep furrow in the middle, and slender legs with a well-defined outline, intertwined with the body and a triangle.

Katrina hurriedly patted the robe, trembling and trying to stretch it open, but the robe stuck to the master's body unrelentingly, highlighting the most abundant place to the teammates beside her, with the beating, the curve of the chest vibrated slightly into an irresistible landscape, much more attractive than the green forest and the stream.

Tarrant's subconscious told him that he should turn his gaze immediately, but his eyes were firmly fixed and could not be moved, they had been together for so long, Tarrant had never thought about Katrina's figure, nor had he ever imagined that when it was suddenly so real in front of him, his "steadfastness and virtue" were powerless.

Rex turned around, "Let's take a break here, make a fire, and dry your clothes." Without waiting for his teammates to respond, he walked out.

Tarrant lowered his head, his face was hot, his body was inexplicably hot, his consciousness was making a mistake! Tarrant closed his eyes and told himself to keep a humble heart and stick to Maxine's virtues.

He began to take off his armor, but his mind was in a mess, and he thought that his firm mind was so fragile that he must confess to the Lord God what he had just done.

Katrina whispered, "Did you bring any other clothes?" full of shyness and embarrassment.

"I didn't ...... Didn't bring ...... Make a fire and bake it before you go," he replied confusedly.

The priest came back with some dead branches, and he bowed his head beside his teammates, lit the fire, "You bake it," and then he went to the stream and sat down.

The two sat silently by the fire, and Tarrant never dared to look up at Katrina, his head buzzing.

In the rush of the stream, there was a "coo-coo" swallowing sound, and Catrina cried out, "Sheep?"

Tarrant looked in the direction of the sound, two antelopes on the other side of the stream, one was a large, dark yellow coat, an adult antelope, it looked back and forth vigilantly, and the other was very small, and was bowing his head to drink, "It's an antelope", he looked back.

"It seems like a mother and son," Catrina guessed.

"Maybe. "Girls like to anthropomorphize animals, and Tarrant is used to it.

Katrina stood up and walked to the stream, "What a cute little lamb." ”

The adult antelope on the opposite side stared at her, in a guarded posture, ready to kick and jump away.

"If you don't want to scare them away, it's best to sit and stay still. ”

Katrina smirked back to the fire, pulling the sleeves of her robe closer to the fire, "Mt. Cuilin is such a wonderful place. ”

"Nature has its cruel side, you just don't see it. ”

"Really?" she said, disdainfully skeptical.

Tarrant was almost done, straightening his waist and placing his leg armor above the fire.

"What's that?" suddenly cried out Katrina.

In the woods behind the left of the antelope, a creeping beast figure appeared, a predator's fangs showed a lurking murderous aura, it squatted still, staring at its prey, across the stream, they were safe, Tarrant indifferently introduced: "Manticore-tailed tiger." ”

"Manticore?!Will it catch lambs?"

"Yes, it's preying. ”

"Gotta help it!" the mage's index finger pointed to the opposite woods.

"Don't," Tarrant pressed her hand, "Katrina, this is the forest, we have to respect the rules of the game here, nature will choose which creatures to be eliminated." ”
