Chapter 274: Encounter
A shadow that almost melted into the shadows opened its eyes, crouched cautiously on the branches, poked its head slightly, and looked at the carriage that was slowly moving down the almost deserted forest path below.
Then there was a faint thud, and a white arrow arced through the dense foliage, shooting from behind him from nowhere, and piercing the shadow at great speed.
The pitch-black shadow showed no expression, and the deadly arrow was firmly stuck in his head, opening a hole.
The shadow dissolved into the shadows, leaving no trace along with the arrow, which had also turned into a point of light.
The carriage on the trail stopped, and Perisius's cerebellum peeked out of the window, and looked up at the place where the shadow had existed before, his cheeks bulging high, and it seemed that he must have had a lot in his mouth.
Then Lynch, holding the dagger, appeared on the branch accurately.
After noticing that someone was following, Lynch first quietly used a dagger to teleport from the carriage to a certain location in the forest, and then quickly used the concealment of the Hidden Blade to hide his breath, and then after noticing that the person who was following him didn't seem to be very powerful, he directly used a longbow and a tracking arrow to take it away, all in one go.
But now it seems that the guy who is watching over himself is not human.
Lynch squatted on the thick branch, reached out and touched the place where the shadow had just been, except for a little cold, there was no trace of its existence, not even the eyes of delusion.
"Is there anything up there?" asked Polysius, who had managed to swallow it, tilting his head back to Lynch.
"I don't know. Lynch replied, jumped down from the thick branch, returned to the carriage, and stretched out his hand to shove Perlicus' little head back through the window: "A shadow-like thing, but it disappeared after receiving a fatal wound, do you know what kind of ability it is?"
"Uh-huh......" The cute features on his little head crumpled together, and Perrisius began to think hard, remembering memories that he might have lost.
"If you can't think of it, forget it. Lynch touched Pericius's head and comforted the child, in fact the Perisius had almost forgotten almost everything he had done before as a councilor, and this phenomenon had become more and more obvious since Lynch and his first meeting.
Maybe the rebirth after a death has made this guy's soul refreshed, and he is no longer the same councillor he used to be.
However, the weak chicken who can't even dodge Lynch's longbow and arrows really doesn't have any need to continue to investigate, this thing is not a human, let alone a monster, it should be a kind of ability of a mage, just like a fragile doppelganger, which can only be used for surveillance.
So Lynch didn't even gain experience, and he was ready to kill humans.
Those who are out of control and close to losing control are not considered human.
It has been a few days since Lynch left Kate, and after taking in Lily, neither the owner nor Ying Lan had any intention of letting Lynch continue to stay here, and Lynch did not continue to delay, after saying goodbye to Lily, Lynch, who asked Ying Lan for a large sum of money enough to support the comfort of several people for a period of time, continued to embark on the road with the impatient Perisius.
"Where are we now?"
Lynch, who was sitting back outside the carriage, asked Perrisius.
"We're going to a swamp called Storth...... Then walk through the swamp...... It's coming soon. ”
Lynch nodded.
Now most of his attention is on perception, which is not very useful, but he is constantly checking his surroundings.
The shadow before was obviously the greeting of the Sunseeker family, and of course Lynch would not be careless.
He had asked Perlicus about his current attitude towards the Sunstrider family, and all he received was an indifferent response, the current Sunstrider wanted to kill this little Perlicus and take back his body, and Perlicus, as a little guy with a new soul, naturally would not have any kindness towards this family that he was almost unfamiliar with.
"If you want to kill us, of course, you have to kill us back. The little child's expression was serious, which really didn't match his face, and even looked a little funny: "But I can't fight back, I have to rely on you, and I will give you benefits afterwards." ”
Lynch touched Perlicus's head with some amusement. He didn't care about any good.
Just like the forests that traverse Wells and Kate's Territory, this area is also a hunting spot for some mage hunters, and the forest is much larger than before, with more different species and more people.
There is still a certain psychological obstacle for Lynch to kill people and gain experience, but this kind of thing will eventually be slowly diluted with the passage of time, just wait for habits.
The carriage walked slowly along this relatively smooth road, and there was a slight sound from time to time in the dense forest on both sides, and the dense branches and leaves overhead almost blocked out all the light, giving the place a rather gloomy atmosphere.
So this road can almost be regarded as a "damp dark corner", and the only thing that can be used is the rune map, under the premise that there is hardly any way to tell the way.
Thankfully, Perisius was somewhat useful.
Thinking so, Lynch looked back at Perlicus, who was still munching on the supplies he had bought for the two of them before entering the forest.
"Don't eat it," Lynch turned around and knocked on the car window, "I haven't eaten anything after eating like this!
Lynch's words came to an abrupt end, and a standing shadow was reflected in the car window, standing directly in front of the road, but this time there was no other person in the perception.
Lynch turned around, and the road ahead was empty, and the small narrow road was only shrinking into a small dot in the distance, and there was nothing.
Lynch narrowed his eyes.
"Do you know exactly where your power is stored?" Lynch asked again as he turned to Perrisius in the carriage.
"I must remember. The little one responded.
That's pretty much it...... It's not far from the base of the Sunstriders......
Thinking to himself, Lynch blinked slightly.
The pure black eyes looked ahead, where there were faint traces of the use of spells.
He didn't continue to move, but he still sat in the car, silent, and the Hidden Blade hidden in his cuff began to slowly accumulate strength.
Being able to charge up at least means that there are people nearby, and it's close to my location.
Inside the carriage, Pericius was still munching on his food, unaware of what was about to happen.
Lynch lowered his head slightly, and a small white light flashed under his eyes.
