Ripple stood on the deck, with three mercenaries standing behind her, and this time she came prepared.

The last encounter made Ripples angry. When I finally arrived on the island, I found that the back mountains and forests on the island were very large, and it was difficult for one person to cross them. Ripples simply went to the unlucky man to help, that is, the vicissitudes of being stolen by Ripples.

Ripple is confident in her charm.

Everything is in the ripple plan, and the casual teenager is not sure what to do by her few words. But what Ripples didn't expect was that although the teenager was messed up, he didn't seem to be half interested in himself, which annoyed her.

There was no way, Ripple could only ask the people on the boat for help. A few mercenaries were teased and didn't know the southeast and northwest, so they followed the ripples and went to the back mountain. But unfortunately, I happened to encounter people patrolling the island. Ripple walked away in time to be undetected.

After returning to Huayu Town, Ripples has been looking for suitable candidates for a month. Eventually, a tavern ran into the current three mercenaries. They are three brothers, Jiao An, Jiao Yong and Jiao Li. The three brothers came out together, but at the same time, the three of them were also all the way, and they couldn't take their eyes off the ripples when they saw them, and their saliva almost flowed onto the table. After Ripple stepped forward to inquire, he saw that the three of them still had some skills, so he encouraged them to go to the Cape of the Sea together, and explained in detail the treasures on the Cape of the Sea, and also said that after the matter was completed, he would go with the three brothers.

The three of them bought tickets for themselves, and the fog cleared that day, and Ripples boarded the boat to the Cape of the Sea again.

"Fluttershy, which of the three do you think is more handsome?"

Ripple didn't tell them his real name.

"You're the big brother, it must be you!"

Jiao An was very happy when she heard Ripple say, and Ripple was very disdainful on the side, this was the most unpromising man she had ever seen.

Jiao An was still talking about something, but Ripple didn't listen carefully, but looked into the distance hard, and finally looked forward to the island at a moment, and the corner of the sea was already in front of him.

Another series of tedious checks, and Ripples showed a disapproving expression.

A month had passed, and there had been no change in the island, and what Ripples didn't understand was that a large number of medicinal herbs had been sold last time, and a month later, there were a lot of medicinal herbs. The island is truly magical.

"Fluttershy, where are we going to find the treasure? ”

Everyone around looked at the four of them, and Ripples hurriedly signaled Jiao to shut up and walked to a place where no one was.

"Don't be quiet, others don't know that there is a treasure. Ripple made up the second half of the sentence in his heart, because there was no at all.

"So what do we do now. Jiao An asked.

"You follow me, if anyone patrols, Jiao Yong will protect us. ”

Jiao Yong is the main reason why Ripple chose these three brothers, he has the magic of awakening, he can create a barrier to cover people inside, one of which is that he can hide his body.

The four of them walked along the mountain road, and when they reached the halfway point of the mountain, Ripple suddenly felt that something was wrong, as if someone was staring at her. She looked around, and finally looked at a room at the top of the hill, where a man was standing looking at her.

Ripples felt a chill in her heart, it was the man who had been stolen by her. Ripple motioned for the three brothers of the Jiao family to leave quickly, while praying in his heart that this man would not spoil his good deeds.

At a fork in the road with a huge banyan tree, the four of Ripples turned into a path, and then advanced in the dim woods, and after a while, they met the patrolling people, Jiao Yong immediately used magic power, and a huge cover covered the four people.

"Second brother, amazing. Jiao An said.

"Shhhhh

The patrol heard the sound and searched around, but found nothing unusual.

"Big brother just talks too much. Jiaoli said.

"Keep walking. Ripple didn't want to pay attention to the three of them at all.

After that, the four of them did not encounter the patrol again, but there were still quite a few wild beasts in the back mountain. Although Jiao An is a little stupid, he still looks good with an axe. Jiao Li didn't know where he learned an ice archery magic circle, and the power was quite good. Jiao Yong was responsible for carrying out magic to protect a few people.

After stumbling and looking forward along the way, the four of them finally crossed the back mountain and came to the front of the forest.

The four of them were stunned, only a few meters apart, the trees in the forest were much taller, the leaves were all black, and the huge canopy blocked the sunlight, so that they could see the outermost trees, and when they looked inside, they were only pitch black.

"It looks dangerous. Jiao An said.

Ripple naturally knows this, but having come here, it's impossible not to give it a try.

"If you are afraid, I will go in alone. ”

"How can you let Fluttershy go to such a dangerous place alone, right? Jiao An looked at his two younger brothers.

Jiao Yong and Jiao Li also hurriedly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes!"

"You follow me, Jiao Yong is vigilant, and if something is wrong, he will release the barrier. ”

Ripples took the lead, and the four of them entered the forest, and the surroundings suddenly turned dark, and everyone walked forward with difficulty for a few hundred meters. Jiao Li discovered that something was wrong.

Obviously, he had already walked so far, but the light behind him was only a few meters away, and at the same time, there was a rustling sound around.

"This place is too wicked. Jiao An said.

Ripples were also a little panicked, and something seemed to be watching them around.

"Let's go back and see. ”

Jiao Yong unfolded the barrier, and everyone turned around and walked towards the light. After walking for a long time, the distance between everyone and the light did not shorten by half a minute. Ripple was very anxious, and subconsciously covered his heart. Finally, the four of them walked out of the forest in a state of high tension.

Ripples couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and it took them at least ten times longer to come back than to go in. It was almost evening when I came out, and it was just after noon when I went in.

"What now?" Jiao Yong asked.

"Rest first, think long-term. ”

Jiao An said, "Fluttershy, you're scared too, keep covering your heart, or we'll go, we can wander the world without treasure." ”

Ripple put down his hand and glanced at Jiao An, "I'm going to scatter my mind around, don't come along." ”

Although he had long guessed that this forest was not so easy to pass through, Ripple had never imagined that this forest would be so weird, and he even began to doubt the correctness of the news. The three brothers of the Jiao family are useless in such a situation.

Could it be that I can only go back this time, and I have to wait for the next opportunity.

The more Ripple thought about it, the more angry she became, and before she knew it, she had gone far away. When she wanted to return, a thorny bear blocked her way, and Ripple didn't intend to clash with it head-on, trying to get around from one side, but another thorny bear suddenly appeared, and at the last moment, an ice arrow suddenly shot, slowing down the stinging bear's movements. Then, Jiao An suddenly jumped out and slashed at the prickly bear's hair.

"Fluttershy, go to Jiaoyong's side. ”

These idiots are still coming. Ripple said in his heart.

Jiao Li was working hard to support Jiao An with the magic circle of the Inscription Ice Archery Technique, but there were more and more thorn bears around, about dozens of them, Jiao An could only retreat, and Jiao Yong unfolded a defensive barrier.

The thorn bear didn't know what the barrier in front of him was, and slapped it hard, and Jiao Yong's body trembled.

"Are you stealth now?" Ripple asked.

Jiao Li explained, "The second brother's stealth barrier only has the function of stealth, not defense, and these bears can find us by smell. ”

At this time, Jiao An shouted, "I thought about it, if you encounter a bear, you just need to pretend to be dead." ”

"How did I find you idiot!"

Soon, the stinging bears stopped attacking, but gathered around the perimeter of the barrier.

"Jiao Yong, how long can you hold out. ”

"If they don't attack me, they can hold out until dark, and if they do, they can only hold out for a little longer. ”

Just when everyone didn't know what to do, a figure jumped out of the woods with a flaming light, and scorched several stinging bears with a flaming sword.

Ripples recognized the person who came, it was the man standing on the top of the mountain today.

"How's the stuff packed?"

Canglan will leave the Cape of the Sea with Ji in a few days.

"Nothing to pack. ”

"You don't bring a few swords forged by that old man to defend yourself. ”

Canglan was stunned for a moment, "Master said that swordsmiths can only use weapons that they have forged. ”

"Lots of. ”

"Bring a few if you like. ”

"Forget it, I still like to be lighter. A sword is enough. ”

Canglan simply sorted out some books and clothes, and put them in the package. And at this time, it seems that there is a new discovery.

"Isn't this your previous pass, I didn't lose it!" was a little confused, but after thinking about it, there was something wrong, and the money bag was gone.

"Well, the thief gave it back to me. ”

Then, Canglan told the cause and effect of the incident, and the more he listened, the more angry he became.

"Then why don't you tell me what to do with my three hundred kuluns. "You are a person, really, I don't know what to say about you, last time at the Iron Wolf Transit Station, I forgot about my brother when I saw a woman." ”

"I'll give it back to you later. Canglan said.

"Is this what I'm talking about? That woman caused you to lose three hundred cululens, and you spared her like this, and you were too kind. ”

Canglan wanted to explain that she didn't want to let her go like that, but she couldn't stand it like that. But he found it difficult to explain, so he didn't explain it.

While the two were arguing, something seemed to have happened under the mountain, and Mercarin was standing in the square and saying something.

Canglan and hurried down the mountain.

"Now all of you are back on the boat, someone has broken into the restricted area of our back mountain, and no one is allowed to get off the boat without my permission. Mercarin stood in front of them and said.

Some of the guests were dissatisfied.

"It's not us who broke into the back mountain, why should we be punished. ”、

"Since it's a forbidden area, don't you have any guards, and you broke in so easily?"

"Stinky woman, don't think you're amazing. ”

........

Although there were many objections from everyone, the captain had already ordered the ship to be returned, and there was nothing anyone could do, and some merchants sighed.

Seeing such a situation, Canglan thought of the girl at noon.

"Sickness, it should be that girl, I saw her at noon. ”

"Don't say it again!" said to Canglan a little speechless.

Canglan explained, "I thought she was just going to the back mountain, but who knows, she actually wanted to break into the Shadow Forest." ”

"The village should send someone to find it, let's go too, no one will pay me back if she dies." ”

The two hit it off and set off towards the back mountain.

After arriving at the back mountain, the two began to search, but this place was too big, and there was no result after searching for a long time. In the evening, the roar of the thorn bears caught the attention of the two, and Canglan followed the thorn bears with his sword, and finally saw a huge hood, and there were several people inside. Canglan didn't think much about it, the flower remains took shape under his feet, and then drove the magic.

Suddenly, the flaming sword burst into flames and slashed at the stinging bears.

Immediately after, the sword shadow swept by, and several stinging bears fell directly to the ground, Cang couldn't help but be surprised, and his swordsmanship improved a lot.

Jiao An and Jiao Li in the barrier saw that someone was helping, and immediately launched a counterattack, which was considered a way out, and several people retreated while fighting, and finally arrived at a safe place.

"Two strong men, thank you for your rescue. Jiao installed the pretend, which made Canglan want to laugh a little.

"Come back with us to the village chief, you're in trouble. Canglan said.

Jiao An panicked suddenly. "We're just lost. ”

Canglan said, "Don't pretend, let's go." ”

"Whatever you pretend, you can go wherever I want, do you care?"

Jiao Yong said, "Don't do that to Fluttershy, they saved us after all." ”

"Don't Fluttershy, Fluttershy's call, do I know you well?" Ripple wants to clear up her relationship with them, she can't be caught by the guards.

The three Jiao family don't know what's going on, and Fluttershy in their hearts is like a different person. Canglan is not surprised by this.

"Let's go, it's not safe when it's dark, and the people in the village are looking for you. Canglan said.

He added, "You little girl, remember to pay back." You stole my friend's pass, and we paid three hundred kuulombs to make up the ticket. ”

Ripple didn't speak, followed behind a few people, and after walking for a while, Canglan realized that something was wrong, only to find that Ripple was gone.

Canglan was a little angry.

"Hurry, you take the three of them back first, and I'll go find her. ”

"Are you okay? Shadowmon is coming out soon. ”

Canglan urged the magic power, and the Flame Sword emitted a fiery light, "The Shadow Beast is afraid of light. ”

Looking at Canglan's determined eyes, he quickly said, "Don't force it, if you can't find it, you can retreat, I'll call Mekarin." ”

"I'm going to find Fluttershy!" Jiao An yells.

"I don't even know how to die. Walk. ”

Jiao An is persuaded by the others to leave, and Canglan returns alone to find the little Fluttershy that Jiao An said.

The Shadow Forest and the Shadow Beast, that's a story that Canglan has only heard once.

There is a Han Shadow Forest in the back mountain, and there are Shadow Beasts in the forest. Shadowmons are afraid of light and will only leave the forest at night.

"Do Shadowmons eat people?"

"Yes. ”

Canglan had never seen a Shadow Beast, and he and Ji had never been to the Shadow Forest.

In the three years since he left the Cape of the Sea, Canglan had forgotten some things, one of which was the Shadow Forest, so when Ripple talked to him about the back mountain, he didn't realize that there was such a thing as the Shadow Forest at all.

After searching for a long time, Canglan still doesn't find Fluttershy, and he shouts 'Fluttershy' a few times, but only a few nocturnal beasts are induced.

Canglan didn't entangle with them, because he saw a burst of birds in the distance, so he quickened the movement of his legs. After a while, Canglan knew that he had come to the right place. Ripple was sitting on a tree, and below the tree was a group of black beasts that looked like dogs, and around them, the corpses of some beasts.

"Help me!" Ripple shouted when she saw Canglan.

Canglan held the fire sword, did not attack, just ignited the flames, and used the fire to force back the shadow beasts surrounding the tree, ripples jumped off the tree, and the two of them retreated together, and at the same time, the surrounding shadow beasts also quickly gathered.

"I think I'd better stay in the trees and be safe. Ripple looked at the growing number of Shadowbeasts around her.

"If you had come with us, there wouldn't have been so much. Canglan's tone was not serious. But there was obviously some displeasure.

Ripple stuck out her tongue, "I can't go with you." If the guards catch me, I'll go to jail. ”

"How many bad things have you done. ”

"Let's deal with the monster in front of you first. ”

"We stepped back, there was a magic ban behind us, and they couldn't get out. ”

The waves and ripples slowly receded. Even with flower remains, it is still not a wise choice to use mana for long periods of time. And there were more and more of the Shadow Beasts, and a few of them had already circled behind.

"It's not far from the ban, I'll create an opportunity, you run over. ”

After that, Canglan burst out with magical power, and the long sword turned into a huge pillar of fire in an instant, and the Shadow Beast immediately saw that it was retreating, and Ripple found an opportunity to run backwards, and Canglan also ran over.

And this is where Canglan first got out of control.

"It's safe here. Canglan said.

"I don't see any prohibitions. ”

"Magical prohibition, generally invisible. Alright, let's go. ”

Canglan put away her sword and was about to leave, but Ripple was about to run again, and Canglan grabbed her wrist.

"It hurts. Ripple tried hard to break free.

"Come back with me. ”

"I don't!"

Canglan ignored her, dragged him towards the village, and just a few steps away, Ripple said. "Look, that monster is weird. ”

"Yes, strange, let's go. Canglan thought she was trying to play tricks, so she ignored her.

"It's really weird. ”

Canglan was helpless and looked back. There is indeed a different Shadowmon, with a small body but red eyes. After that, something even stranger happened. All the surrounding Shadowmon leaned towards it, and then turned into a black substance, merging into one and becoming a giant Shadowmon.

"Run!"

Canglan knew that something was wrong, so he ran away with the ripples, and the huge shadow beast stepped through the prohibition and chased after him directly.

"Didn't you say it couldn't get by?" Ripple couldn't keep up with the speed of the waves, and his wrist hurt a little.

"I don't know, but it shouldn't go far. ”

The speed of the giant shadow beast was very fast, and Canglan knew that he would definitely be chased if he continued like this, so he stopped suddenly, and the fire sword shot out at the shadow beast.

Sure enough, the giant shadowmon wasn't so afraid of fire.

"You go first, I'll hold it back. ”

"You really like to ask others to go first, why, do you think you're a big hero?" Ripple said.

"If you are told to go, you will go. ”

Canglan was a little displeased, this woman really caused a lot of trouble.

The Shadow Beast in front of him was very strong, but Canglan felt that he still had a chance to fight it if he used the other side, so that there would be no one else around.

Between the words, the Shadowbeast spat out a cloud of black substance, leaping into the air and splitting it with a sword. But Canglan didn't expect that the black matter that had been split turned into two shadow beasts, which pounced on the defenseless ripples together. Ripple dodged one, but was bitten on the calf by the other.

Canglan pierced one of them with a sword, turning it into wisps of black smoke. The other was just about to turn back when another man burst out in the darkness and killed it with a few swords.

"I told them to go back and report to the village, and I came back first. "The man is sick. "It seems to have come at the right time. ”

Canglan was very happy to see the rapid coming, but at the same time, he realized that he couldn't use the other side.

Canglan confronted the Great Shadow Beast on the front, and the disease was on the side.

The Shadowmon spat out the black mass again, and was about to slash it, when a pillar of fire arrived first, incinerating the black substance. Then he explained the reason for this.

"Cunning fellow. ”

The magic power of Canglan is being consumed, the flower remains under his feet are slowly fading, and there are more injuries on his body. But they didn't do any real damage to the Shadowmon.

Ripple, who was watching from the sidelines, realized that these two men were no match for this Shadow Beast, and couldn't help but say in his heart, "Men are really useless. ”

At this time, a stinging bear touched Ripple's back for some reason, but Ripple didn't notice it. Canglan in the distance saw this scene, hurriedly turned around, and a pillar of fire shot out, knocking down the stinging bear. But the Shadowmon also seized this opportunity, and even though it was a swift obstruction, the claw still slapped at Canglan's back, and Canglan flew far away, landing beside Ripple, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"How are you?" Ripple asked.

Canglan got up in pain, "It's okay." ”

Looking at the injured Canglan, Ripple realized that she couldn't wait any longer, and she might die here with two men. She covered her neck with her right hand and slowly lowered the clothes on her left shoulder. The fragrant shoulders slowly revealed.

Seeing this, Canglan's face flushed, "Are you planning to tempt the Shadow Beast?"

Then, Canglan realized that he was wrong, and an irregular circle was carved on the left shoulder of the ripples, and the circle began to glow, and a wave of magic power poured out of the circle, transforming into a huge monster in front of it.

The monster, with its dark blue body and hideous face, looked terrifying.

As soon as the monster appeared, Ripple collapsed to the ground. Seeing this, Canglan helped Ripple sit up and pulled up Ripple's clothes.

Ripples looked at Canglan with a hint of surprise in his eyes. Ripple remembered a long-ago story and wanted to say something to Canglan, but she couldn't say a word, but looking at Canglan's nervous appearance, she had secretly made a decision in her heart.
