Strange noises rang out one after another, and gradually, Stan could already hear the sound of something rubbing against the ground covered with fallen leaves. "The sound of these footsteps is definitely not a human being, nor is it a wolf. ”

The mages were nervously watching the movements around them, and at the same time, they were still on the lookout for the knights. "Don't be verbose, give us Ness, and we'll get out of here at once. ”

As soon as the words fell, a terrible scream suddenly came from the left side of everyone. "Who is it?!" Stan raised his sword in front of him, turning in that direction.

No one answered, but after the screams, there was a chaotic rustling sound in the same direction, and then the sound of rubbing the ground came again regularly.

The voice...... It's Samson. "The hooded mage is already shaking.

"There are more than four of you. Stan gives a quick glance at the mages who are still where they are.

Rolf didn't speak, his eyes fixed on Stan, still unwilling to give up such a good opportunity.

As if in response to his meaningless insistence, there was also a scream from the right side, the same miserable, and even more terrifying, this time the mage did not seem to be killed at once, the scream lasted for several seconds, and in the end, it even turned into a desperate wail, making everyone shudder.

"Hell, do you want to die here?" Stan decides to ignore Rolf and the others, and the knight slashes the thick hemp rope that binds Ness with a sword, then quickly turns over and dismounts and walks to Nerfi's side, cutting the thick rope that binds the mage's hands and feet, and pulls her up and leaves.

Rolf stood in front of the knight. "Want to run so easily?"

"You madmen, I don't want to die with you. Stan pushes the mage away and walks towards his mount, the sound of chanting a spell behind him.

"Be careful, Stan!" Ness snapped as several white rays of light flew out from behind Ness, quickly heading towards Rolf. But just as Rui had guessed, the mages had already laid down their shield magic, and the beam hit the shield and was completely neutralized.

"Holy Spirit Summoning, I didn't expect you to cast this spell. Rolf didn't panic and continued the incantation.

"Leave him alone, Stan, I'll stop him. Ness sat firmly on Vernon's back, her hands stretched out in front of her, her index fingers touching her thumbs, her lips opening and closing rapidly.

Rolf had finished chanting, and the dirt and fallen leaves around them seemed to lose their gravity, and they flew into the air, and with a wave of the mage's hand, everything floating in mid-air smashed into the knight.

Ness looked at Rolf sternly and yelled at him. "Obsessed!" A dazzling white light suddenly burst out from the circle formed by Nice's hands, illuminating Rolf and his companions unable to open their eyes, and subconsciously covered their faces. Countless balls of light seemed to be hidden in the bright light, constantly spreading in all directions, knocking down the smashed dirt in the air.

Stan takes the opportunity to lift Nerfi onto Vernon's back and climbs up to hope. "Leave it alone, let's go, it'll be too late if we don't. The knight listened to the grinding sound around him that was getting clearer and clearer, and knew that the monster in the thick fog was only a few dozen yards away from them.

Ness stopped casting the spell and looked at her opponent solemnly. "You've already two dead, and if you want to stay with them, you can stay here and continue to pester with us. ”

At this time, two huge objects flew from the left and right respectively, and fell accurately around everyone. Everyone gasped when they saw what it was. I saw that the bodies of the two mages had almost been drained, and the coats that had been fitting were now loosely draped over their thin layers. "It's ...... What?" Rolf looked at his dead companion in horror.

"Whatever it is, we have to go right now!" Stan takes one last look at the corpse's deplorable condition, pulls Vernon's reins, and shouts out Ness and Nelfi from their horror. "Run, follow me, hold on!"

With that, the knight tugged at the reins and ran quickly in the direction from which he had come. After only a few steps, the knight noticed a dark green shadow standing in front of him. "Hell!" cursed the knight, changing direction slightly to the left and continuing to ride, again, without taking a few steps, the knight jerked the reins, and there was the same shadow at every angle in front of them. Stan turned his horse's head and tried to head south to get around the terrible things, but to his despair, not only in the direction they were coming from in the east, but in all four directions, they were surrounded by shadows, and one after another large dark green shadows slowly approached them, enveloping them in the clearing.

Stan finally saw the monster in front of him, they were very tall, half a body taller than Stan, their two knee-length arms were in stark contrast to their thin body, and the monster was covered in long hairs that resembled hair, some were dark green, some were dark green, and a few were almost black. What frightened everyone the most was their face, which could barely be called a face, a huge eye bulging out of the head covered by long hair, and other than that, the monster's face had no organs, just a large eye that kept rolling and looking at the prey in front of them.

"What is this!" Stan calmed the frightened mount, clutching the obsidian sword in his right hand.

Nerfi tried to speak, but only whined, and Ness realized what the mages had done to her, and the angry girl looked at Rolf. "You actually used silence on her!"

"Nonsense, otherwise would you let her cast a spell with you to deal with us?" Rolf didn't even look at Niss, the monster in front of him made him feel a huge threat.

"We've got to break through a gap, attack there with magic, and follow me!" Stan commanded quickly to Ness, pointing his sword to the east. Then the knight raised his sword and shouted slogans in an impassioned voice. "For honor!" the knight rushed forward.

Ness urged Vernon to follow Stan behind him, and quickly recited the incantation, the mage's hand swung forward, and a pillar of fire burst out from under the monster's feet, and the intense flames consumed the monster in an instant.

Stan aimed at the burning monster and lunged at it, the obsidian sword sinking into the flames and slashing right into the monster's eye. A howl like a north wind whistling from the flames, and instead of falling down immediately, a large amount of gray-green smoke suddenly emanates from the flames, enveloping Stan in it. Not only the monster that was attacked, but the bodies of all other monsters began to emit gray-green smoke, and for a while, everyone's eyes immediately became hazy, and the already foggy forest, coupled with such a thick and strange smoke, Stan couldn't see the direction at once, so he could only hurriedly retreat.

"Ness, use wind magic to blow away the smoke. The knight wanted to cover his mouth and nose as much as possible, he didn't know if the smoke was poisonous, but the ubiquitous smoke had completely surrounded them, and the knight simply gave up his intention to cover the smoke and found Ness and Nellfi in the thick fog.

A faint wind blew, and Ness appeared in front of her, and the mage hurriedly rode to Stan's side, only for a moment, and the fog filled the short distance that had just been blown away by the wind. "No, Stan, the wind in this forest seems to have frozen, and I've almost tried my best to cast only the small bit of wind I just had. ”

"Grab this!" Stan shoved the corner of his cloak into Ness's hand. "We must not be separated. ”

In the gray-green smoke, visibility was only a few yards away, and the trio could only listen to the movement around them to determine if danger was approaching them. Boundless fear came from all directions, the sound of friction filling the eardrums, and the sound of a blower kept ringing.

Suddenly, a scream was heard not far from the trio, followed by several more frightened shouts and stumbling footsteps.

"It's those mages, they're attacked, in that direction, let's fight, in the opposite direction. Stan decides that he can't wait to die. "If we wait like this, we'll end up like them. ”

"We're following you, Stan. Ness nodded, pursed her lips.

"Now!" Stan chose to ride in a direction, Ness clutching the knight's cloak and following, Nellfi hugging Ness's waist and trying to cast a spell with her mouth open but unable to pronounce a spell.

The knight ran for dozens of yards in the fog, but still did not run out of the fog. "Hell, what's going on, I saw that the encirclement of those monsters just now is definitely much smaller than the range we ran through. ”

"Maybe the smoke is hallucinogenic and we think we're walking in a straight line, but in fact we've been going around in circles. Ness looked anxiously at the exact same surroundings as they were obscured by the thick fog. "You have to get rid of this illusion before you can escape. ”

Nellfi nodded her head behind Ness, and it could be seen that she was also very scared, and completely lost the idea of not taking the Twilight Forest seriously on the road.

"But how do we ......" Before he could finish speaking, an arm full of long hair suddenly swung at Stan from the thick fog, and the knight hurriedly raised his sword to fend off the attack, but the arm did not flinch, but grabbed the blade, all the long hair wrapped around the obsidian sword as if it were alive, and began to try to snatch the sword from the knight's hand. If it weren't for Stan's strength being much greater than that of a normal person, he would have been unable to hold a sword a long time ago. Seeing this, Niss hurriedly cast the Fire Pillar Technique again, the flames submerged the monster, temporarily retracting its hand, and the three people who were roasted by the hot breath also hurriedly retreated to the other side.

What to do, what will Fern do at this time!Stan looks almost desperately ahead, wanting to try to charge again, but inwardly tells him that he is just wasting his strength by doing so. What should I do, what should I do? O Seven Gods, tell me what to do.

At this moment, a strange feeling rose from the knight's heart, and at the same time, a familiar voice called out to him in his head. "Stan, I'm here, in my direction!"

"Rui, where are you?" muttered the knight, looking up at the front, but there was nothing but a thick fog.

"Don't open your eyes, I'm communicating with you with the power of the heart, close your eyes and feel my place with your heart. Rui's voice seemed to be in the distant sky, and it seemed to whisper in the knight's ear.

Stan closes his eyes, trying to calm himself down, and gradually, he sees a small dim glow of fire in front of him, even though he knows he has his eyes closed. "That's it! I see it, follow me, Ness!" Stan picked himself up and rode towards the firelight.
