Lin Qiu and Phoenix jumped from the treetops one after another, but by the time he groped into the bushes, the three adventurers had disappeared without a trace. The torn robes and the knight's sword left on the ground proved that they had just stepped here.

Something had taken the three adventurers away in front of them, and they didn't know it.

"Isn't this forest really haunted?" Lin Qiu muttered.

Judging from the scene, the three people lost their mobility in an instant, and they didn't even have time to scream.

"Look at this. As Lin Qiu pondered, Phoenix used her keen insight for the first time on the right path, she bent down and gently slid her index finger on the remaining liquid on the ground. Instead of water, the viscous touch was more like the bodily fluids secreted by some kind of monster.

Lin Qiu's face was overjoyed, and he did not hesitate to praise Phoenix: "Blind student, you have discovered Huadian!"

It seems that his mind was led away by the three adventurers, and Phoenix's discovery proved that it was not the ghosts that attacked them, but some kind of monster capable of secreting this liquid. He had been thinking about the haunting before ignoring the obvious clue, and Lin Qiu looked at the slime on the ground and found that it had been spreading deeper into the forest.

It was not difficult to follow the clues, and the liquid spread all the way to a small lake deep in the forest.

The streams that flow down from the heights converge here, and if you look along the stream, you can see the striking ancient tree in the center of the forest. When Lin Qiu and Phoenix sneaked over, they found that in addition to the three adventurers who had been taken captive, there were also the two unlucky ghosts they said had been lost before.

However, compared with the three who were trembling, the other two had long been unconscious.

A monster in old armor had his back to the three of them, and the reason why Lin Qiu could immediately determine the identity of the other monster was because of his long tail, the skin of the tail was very rough, and it was covered with small, sharp barbs. His weapon was a trident made of blue splicing, which reminded Lin Qiu of the liquid long whip used by Melia.

Next to the armored monster is a bird monster that is trying to wave its wings.

"Oh——! that's a robin, super rare!" Phoenix snorted.

It wasn't that she didn't know what the monster with the big tail was, but she knew all the bird monsters. Mockingbirds are a very rare species, this small bird monster itself has little combat power, but they have a transcendent perception, this innate perception can allow them to see through human thoughts, so robin is a monster that many people chase after each other.

Overcapture has led to their near extinction, and Phoenix hasn't seen them for centuries.

The armored monster turned majestically.

"Big brother, there is something to discuss!" the adventurer saw the whole picture of the other party clearly, and he retreated to the lake behind him in fright.

"Papo, they want to escape from the lake!" the robin monster frowned and loudly exposed the careful thoughts of the three of them.

"Escape...... How could it be? No one here wants to escape...... Did you want to run away just now?Or you!?Apologize to Brother Papo!" The leading adventurer viciously tugged at his companion's collar, and then said with a smile on his face, "You see, there may be some misunderstanding between us, we are different from those adventurers, we have never caught a single monster, I promise!"

"He's lying!" the robin once again ruthlessly debunked the other party's lies.

The monster known as Papo came to the two step by step, and he aimed the trident in his hand at the necks of the three of them, staring at them condescendingly.

"We don't dare anymore!" begged the three in unison.

“......”

"Bump-" The circulating liquid sank into the ground, picking up a splash, and the three adventurers rolled their eyes and fainted in fright. Papo's hand trembled, and then he stomped his foot in some chagrin. He had defeated the humans, and just now, he was able to easily kill these three adventurers, and perhaps he could afford to protect the people of the village...... However, before he could stab the trident into the bodies of the three of them, he suddenly echoed the village chief's teachings.

Still can't get started!

Even in front of him were the enemies who had kidnapped his compatriots.

"The village chief says that any creature should be given a chance to mend his ways, I ......" Pappo paused, forced himself to turn away, and no longer looked at the adventurers on the ground, "I think they have realized their mistake." And, if they come back, the Divine Tree will punish them!"

"Let's go. ”

The robin nodded obediently and followed Papo, following the stream in the direction of the towering ancient tree.

"Is that guy an idiot? That guy is an idiot!" After Papo left, Phoenix was so angry that he punched and kicked in place. How she wished that Pappona hadn't missed a trident - she knew that these adventurers, whether they let them go once, twice, or dozens of times, their attachment to wealth would not change.

"The monsters in this forest are stupid!" Phoenix hated that iron could not be made of steel.

At the same time, the other end of the forest.

Alyssa's action of building the battalion commander stopped, she straightened up, and her right hand immediately touched the saber at her waist. Sure enough, it wasn't an illusion before, because the other party appeared vividly in her sight at this moment. But this time, the other party did not disappear immediately.

Sicia.

Alyssa's eyelids jumped involuntarily.

"It seems that you have had a good life after the war, and I am glad that you have found many friends and are no longer alone as you used to be. ”

Cecia narrowed her eyes and smiled, a smile that succeeded in recalling memories deep in Alyssa's mind. She remembered that Cecia was a girl who loved to laugh, and whenever she laughed, Alyssa could see two shallow pear vortices of Cecia.

"You're dead. ”

Sicia was noncommittal: "Dense forests, blue lakes, cool evening breezes...... If possible, I'd like to see the world after the war. Still, as you said, I'm dead. ”

"But ......"

"Alyssa......"

Cecia's tone changed, and a blood-colored pattern appeared on her arm, extending to the side of her face, assimilating her left eye into red.

"Do you remember how I died?"

“...... Why are you silent, Elisa? Aren't we friends? You can't hide it from me. ”

Suddenly, the wind howled, and the trees rattled under the pressure of the wind. Alyssa's eyes narrowed, her body instinctively on guard. However, Cecia did not attack her, and the figure by the tree gradually dissolved into the wind.

It's like never there.
