The night was silent.

In the glittering forest, midnight was supposed to be the time to pack up and get ready to set off, but in this barren land of tens of thousands of square meters, the lighting of the glittering vines was lost, and the camp was pitch black, only the campfire in the center was still struggling between light and extinguish, emitting a faint light.

Among the ten tents, the sound of even breathing came and went, and everyone slept deeply. The longer you live in the Flash Forest, the harder it will be for everyone, because the time that can be called night here is too short. There is sunlight during the day, and although the canopy of the forest filters most of the light, making the forest dark, it is still bright and not suitable for rest and sleep. At night, however, there are shiny vines that shine brighter than during the day, making them less suitable for rest and sleep than during the day. Coupled with the vigilance that everyone must maintain at all times during sleep during the field period, it can be said that every day in the flash forest, in fact, everyone spends in a rather poor quality of sleep, which is okay for a short time, and once the length of time exceeds a month, it will also become a very heavy burden for the physical fitness of high-level professionals.

And now, there is a rare opportunity. The interference of day and night is gone, and this is a special place where basically no monster dares to set foot in, under the double stimulation, everyone's long-accumulated fatigue and stress are released at one time, and they fall into a deep sleep with the hazy moonlight.

By the campfire in the center, Lina sat on her huge backpack, her fingers rummaging through the thin books in her hands. The campfire was too dark for Lina to read the handwriting, and she turned the pages only subconsciously, but in fact she was just as tired, her attention alternating between vigil and sleep, and her long silver hair was already hanging down in front of her.

There was silence all around, no roars of beasts, no insects, not even the sound of the wind, only the crackling of the campfire in the silent night sky.

A few hundred meters away at the edge of the forest, outside Lina's field of vision, suddenly a few black shadows shook slightly, and if you hadn't been staring, you would definitely feel that you were dazzled by the mistake. However, in fact, there was no mistake, more than a dozen demonic beasts leaned their bodies tightly on the ground, and with an extremely slow speed, they carefully crawled out of the dense forest. Under the dark night, the movements of the monsters were very slow, and they would stop and wait quietly for a while after climbing a few steps, until they found that Lina who was on the night watch did not react, and then moved a few steps forward again, and then continued to wait for the previous one.

"Whew", Lina suddenly stood up, more than a dozen demonic beasts immediately stopped advancing, lying on the spot and curled up little by little, one by one shrunk into a ball of demonic beasts, from the appearance of it looks like a stone poked on the ground, no one can find that it is actually a group of carnivorous beasts without approaching.

Lina, who was standing, did not look in the direction of the monsters, but turned around and took two steps, picked up a pot of water from the door of a tent behind her, and poured it down. After drinking the water, Lina wiped the corners of her mouth with the back of her hand roughly, stretched her body hard, stretched her arms flat and made a few chest expansion movements, and raised the mace and waved it a few times, and then she picked up the book again by the side of the fire, and read it attentively, without noticing the demonic beasts lurking dozens of meters away.

A breeze blew, and the fine breeze blew through the hole of the deep pit in the ground, bringing a burst of whimpering sounds like crying and complaining, and the whimpering sound was looming, like the intermittent cry of a woman in the wilderness in the middle of the night with the wind, and like the faint ** of the creatures that echoed in the valley in the deep mountains before dying, although they knew that this was just the sound of the wind, it would still make the people who heard it feel creepy.

"Alas. Hearing the strange wind, Lina sighed helplessly, reached out and added a few sticks of firewood to the campfire, and the slightly lit campfire added a little warmth to the surroundings. Stretching out her hand to keep warm by the flame, Lina muttered a few words dissatisfiedly, looked up at the starry sky and was distracted, her fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on the pile of luggage beside her, not knowing what was going on in her heart.

The demonic beasts lurking in the distance saw Lina quiet again, so they began to move again, the closer they got to the camp, the more cautious and slow they moved, more than forty meters away, the demonic beasts took nearly an hour to finish, silently appeared at the edge of the camp, dozens of small eyes gathered together, full of greed and malice staring at the flames and tents in the center of the camp.

There was a soft "click", and the sound did not come from the lurking demonic beasts, but Lina's fingers seemed to touch something. But with a gentle sound, a circular pillar of light with a diameter of nearly one meter suddenly lit up in an instant, and the pillar of light crossed the distance of ten meters without any obstruction, shining among the lurking demonic beasts.

The monsters were unprepared, and were directly illuminated by the suddenly lit up pillar of light, and their pupils, which were originally adapted to a little glimmer of light in the dark, were completely ineffective by the intense light, and they couldn't see anything for a while.

"Elemental, triple flame cage. Vivien's crisp chant sounded in the silence, and a circular wall of fire with a radius of ten meters suddenly exploded around the place where the pillar of light illuminated, trapping the demonic beasts in the center. The flame cage, which should have been less than one meter wide, was directly tripled with the help of the magic array arranged by Vivian in advance, and the wall of fire close to three meters wide completely cut off the retreat of the demonic beasts, and the fear of the flame instinct made the demonic beasts who were blinded only wander back and forth in the cage with a strange cry from their mouths.

"Sure enough, they are. Pannis lifted the tent and walked out, fully clothed, with no signs of sleep.

"Are they really the marrow eaters?" Catherine asked as she emerged from another tent and looked at the blazing flames, "They've been tracking us here?"

"That's it. Lina reached for the goblin illuminator she had prepared, carefully tucked it away in her backpack, and then replied, "It's ridiculous to be sneaky." ”

Alarmed by the sound outside, several people in the tent woke up at the same time, and quickly rushed out of the tent with weapons, looking at the scene in front of them in surprise. Dora couldn't help but ask, "What the hell is going on?"

"Didn't Charles mention seeing the Marrow Eater when he came back in the afternoon?" Catherine explained, "Later, Pannis told me privately that maybe the Marrow Eater was the kind of vengeful monster that followed us all the way, and if that was the case, I am afraid that we would be besieged at night." However, because they don't know about them, Pannis can't be sure if this is really the case, and if not, it will delay your rest and recovery, and there will be no noise, and as for us, we don't need to hurry up in the morning anyway, so we will work hard. That's it, and a few of us just waited all night, ready for them to attack. Now it seems that it was not in vain. ”

"I'll take a look. Catherine gestured to Vivien, and with a wave of her hand, an activation rope wrapped around Catherine's waist lifted her up five meters in place, and she saw the scene inside the circle beyond the barrier of the wall of fire.

On closer inspection, myelin eaters do resemble anteaters, the difference is that their tails have completely degenerated to the point of disappearing, and their mouths are far sharper and longer than those of anteaters, and once their tongues begin to eject, they will get enough to tell them in this long mouth to become a lethal weapon. By this time, the marrow eaters had also recovered from their panic and gathered together again, forming a circle facing the periphery, sitting on the ground with their hind limbs bent, and protecting their greatest weakness with solid earth.

"Sixteen. Catherine re-landed and said, "They are on guard near the wall of fire, and it seems that they are going to hold on. Vivien's magic flames won't last long, so we'll have to deal with them before the flames disappear, and if we let them escape again, we'll have trouble going our separate ways. ”

"I'll try. Pannis took a few steps closer to the wall of fire, estimated the distance, and opened his bow to shoot an arrow into the sky. The arrow drew a towering parabola in the air and fell inside over the wall of fire. An angry cry immediately rang out from the inside of the wall of fire, and several hard tongues with the whirring sound of the wind passed through the flames and shot straight into Pannis's position. Fortunately, Pannis was prepared, and the position he stood in was just out of range of the marrow eaters, and the barbed tongue stretched to the limit and barely reached a meter in front of Pannis, unable to cause any damage to Pannis.

"Hehe, you've been fooled. Pannis smiled sinisterly, and with a flick of his right hand, a sharp metal rod used for camping flashed with fighting energy, and stabbed his tongue into the ground with great difficulty. The stinging of the tongue and the burning of the flames caused the hapless beast to suffer a double blow, but it could only wail miserably, and there was no way to break free.

"It's my turn. Catherine moved her right hand, which was wearing her newly acquired plate glove, and grabbed her tongue, which was fixed, and spared it twice. The tiny barbs on his tongue couldn't pierce the alloy plate armor gloves at all, and the hapless marrow eater was picked up by Catherine's tongue, and his limbs writhed wildly in the air. A long pitch-black whip stabbed straight upwards with tacit understanding, piercing the myelin eater's anus accurately, causing it to lose its life in the screams.

"Just one by one?" Catherine asked Pannis, "can it be done?"

"I'm afraid not. Pannis shot a few more arrows into the wall of fire, but the monsters who had suffered a loss once were very clever and were not fooled, and the arrows could not cause any damage to their defensive skins anyway, so they simply ignored his provocation: "They are very smart, and they will not be fooled again at all." ”

"It's a nuisance. Vivien muttered angrily, "Just solve it all at once." ”

As a result, the wall of fire changed, and the thick wall of fire quickly extended to both sides at the same time, and the scorching flames began to compress the safe space of the demonic beasts inside. The monsters screamed irritably in the scorching heat, scratching at the ground with their claws in vain.

"Wait, Miss Mage. The guide who was rescued before, Gaston, suddenly noticed something and shouted: "The flame on the left, the left side is too low, so that they may jump out, they can jump very strongly." ”

Before the words fell, a black shadow jumped high and jumped above the slightly lower flames on the left, and the other fourteen demonic beasts also jumped up after the leader of the leader, jumping towards the periphery of the fire ring.
