Chapter 4: Encirclement

"You don't seem happy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Casio looked at Ertos and asked with a little concern.

"It's okay, just thinking about going back to my hometown again, a little sighing. Ertos smiled reluctantly, and anyone could tell that he wasn't in a good state at all.

Casio opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, he knew that there must be something unspeakable about Ertos now, maybe it would be better to wait a while.

Just as Casio was about to continue his journey with the others, Ertos suddenly spoke, "Your Royal Highness, let's rest around here tonight, and we will be able to reach the Ring of the Next World tomorrow." ”

Casio thought for a moment and agreed with Ertos' proposal.

They had been in the Forest of Secret Words for more than a month, and along the way, Ertos had given them a general explanation of the situation of the Council of the Ancient Forest.

Outside the gathering place of the Ancient Forest Council, there was a huge magic circle similar to a protective shield called the Ring of the World, which surrounded almost the entire gathering place of the Ancient Forest Council and protected them in it.

And if you want to pass through the Ring of the Next World, you need someone like Ertos who is an insider to guide you, so that you don't get lost in the Ring of the Next World.

The Ring of the Worlds is not simply an existence that can be entered through a protective shield, but an invisible, but real, huge circular air flow that surrounds the entire Ancient Forest Council.

It is said that if you really have to walk on this invisible annular airflow, even if you don't get lost in it, it will take you three or four days to get out.

Fortunately, Ertos has a special passage, so Casio and they don't have to worry too much about getting lost in the Ring of the World, and they can also pass through the Ring of the World earlier than the scheduled time.

At that moment, Casio and the others found a small cave nearby, started to light a fire, and prepared to rest for the night, recuperate their spirits and enter the ring of the next world.

This small cave is really small, even if Casio and the others are only four people in total, it still can't accommodate them, so they can only let Ariel, the only girl, hide in the cave, and the three of them are going to spend the night outside the cave.

Around the campfire, several people began to chat, talking about their past lives.

In the past month, everyone has become more intimate from half-baked at the beginning, so they began to talk about many of their past lives.

Everyone's story seems to be long, and Ariel recounts what she used to live in the palace almost all the time, which is somewhat tedious and sympathetic.

Jonathan, on the other hand, told about his former life, which was very ordinary, but very happy, until something seemed to happen in the middle, and his peaceful life was broken.

However, Jonathan didn't say much about that period of time, just a brush-off, which made Casio and others vaguely feel that things may not be as simple as Jonathan showed at the time.

As for Ertos, his life is also extremely boring and boring in some ways.

Because he summed up his previous life, wars and killings in one sentence, and after awakening, he began to pursue the true meaning of peace!

Now, it's Casio's turn to start telling the story of his past life.

To be honest, among the four people, the others are most interested in Casio, because his story is known to everyone on the surface, but the things that everyone knows on the surface are not enough to match his current achievements and personality.

Therefore, everyone wants to know more about the unknown side of Casio.

But how could Casio let them get their wish, no matter how they tricked their words, the back and forth was some coincidence and chance, so they didn't believe it at all.

Originally, everyone thought that this night would be spent in such an ordinary way, but just when everyone was about to rest, some abnormal sounds made the relaxed atmosphere suddenly tense.

Casio's eyes looked into the dark night around him, and his hand slowly moved to the hilt of his sword.

They have now entered the interior of the Whispering Forest, and although they have deliberately avoided the territory of many powerful demonic beasts on the way because of Ertos's knowledge, no one can say whether those demonic beasts will wander to other places.

Although the location of Casio and them is not the deepest part of the Secret Whisper Forest, the demonic beasts in this position will also make them a little unable to eat and walk around.

Everyone quickly stood up and began to guard their surroundings.

And Jonathan, who is a cultivator of the Light Spirit Son, directly used the Spirit Son Technique to illuminate the surroundings, so that he and the others could be in a bright range as much as possible, so as not to be attacked by unknown demonic beasts.

The soft white light spread out in all directions, dispelling the darkness and revealing its true face in the darkness.

However, when they saw everything beneath the soft white light, Casio and Eltos' pupils suddenly shrank.

I saw that among the surrounding bushes, there were dwarf creatures only half a man tall with withered yellow skin, wearing armor and weapons that looked like stones, and they were retreating a little uncomfortably under the light of the white mang.

These creatures Casio are naturally cognizant and are creatures called Earth Elves.

This creature itself is not too powerful, and what really surprised Casio was that it was almost impossible for this creature to appear in the Secret Forest.

It would be more accurate to say that this creature is unlikely to appear above the surface.

Because this creature is an underground creature, it will hardly move above the surface of the earth throughout its life. But now, here they are!

Casio looked at the other people, Jonathan and Ariel were fine, but their expressions were solemn and there was no special expression.

But Ertos's expression made Casio a little puzzled.

Because Ertos's expression is now full of hatred, confusion, and deep shock!

Casio's heart moved, and he estimated that Eltos should have seen this kind of creature, and even knew a lot about the creatures of the earth elves, so he wondered how they could appear on the surface.

"What to do?" Jonathan asked, as he and Ariel moved closer to Casio.

Casio looked around and found that they had been surrounded by these ground elves, and roughly estimated that there were at least fifty of them.

This number of earth elves, even if their own strength is only at the first level of strength, is completely capable of causing Casio and them a lot of trouble.

The point is that Casio knows this creature very well, and knows that earth elves generally don't act alone, which means that there are probably other underground creatures around!

Therefore, for today's plan, it is necessary to get out first!
