"In the name of the saints, I beseech the Goddess of Creation to grant her the power of holiness to purify this pure life!"

A halo of light surrounded the delicate body of the elf girl, and the golden demon spirit flew freely around her, making her like a princess sleeping in a dream, her face gradually turned from purple to red, and her body gradually became warm, and finally opened her eyes slowly.

"She's awake!" Feng Ling cried out happily. Not only Kaede, but everyone was very happy, and the team members gathered around were talking and praising Lingyue's medical skills, and Qinglong and the Duke also smiled at each other with satisfaction.

"I ...... Where am I?" Mu Xue Hongying, who had just woken up, was not fully awake yet, and looked at everyone blankly.

"It's okay, Sakura, it's campground, we're all here. Feng comforted her softly, her affectionate eyes filled with great concern.

"My head was so dizzy, I remember, I was caught in the big net behind me...... It bit me hard with its fangs," Sakura dug through the fragments of her memories in a trance, "Who saved me? Who was it?" she looked around desperately to find an answer.

Ling Yue smiled and glanced at Feng Ling, and said to Sakura gently, "It was Feng who killed the spider and brought you back." Mu Xue Hongying looked back at the young paladin beside her, her eyes flashed with sincere emotion, she looked at Feng's concerned expression, and said emotionally, "Thank you." The elf girl's tactful and soft voice had already made Feng Ling's heart smash, and the little truth revealed in her beautiful eyes made him even more crimson, and he waved his hand again and again and said, "No, no, you should thank Lingyue." If it weren't for his medical skills, you wouldn't be out of danger!"

Sakura turned back and smiled at Ling Yue. Say, "Thank you for saving me, thank you." Ling Yue smiled at her gently. In the gentle tone of his brother An soothing his sister, he said: "It is my duty to save the dead and help the wounded, so you don't have to be polite." After saying that, he got up and said to the Duke and Qinglong, "Her body is still relatively weak and needs a little rest, I'm afraid we will have to stay here for a while." ”

The two of them didn't have time to answer, only to hear the anxious shout of the elven guard captain Gore from the treetops beside them: "It's not good, we are surrounded!" Hearing this, the green dragon flew up to the treetops and came to the side of the short-haired elf compatriots, only to see that in the gloomy jungle, countless small red eyes were approaching the crowd from all directions. Slender spider legs covered with multicolored patterns emerge from the grass, which is creepy.

"Damn it!" the green dragon punched the thick trunk of the tree, causing the leaves to flutter and fall. "There must be fish that have slipped through the net, this is bad!" he turned and jumped down, and said to the Duke and the others who surrounded us, "We are now surrounded by spiders, and those spiders must have known the news of the failed hunt and came out to take revenge on us!"

Hearing this, the orc warrior Gru waved the spear in his hand and roared angrily, "It's just spiders, we didn't settle accounts with them." If they dare to come to death, let them taste our awesomeness!" Hearing this, the team members were ready to fight. Duke Huntle looked at the excited warriors around him. He exchanged glances with Qinglong, and from Qinglong's expression, he could see that they had no way out.

The spiders soon attacked. The green dragon climbed the treetops and fired his bow and arrows. Together with Gore, he sniped at the onrushing spiders with his bow and arrows, killing one of them with each pleasant trilling sound of the bowstring.

"Maple. Warriors, rush!" The duke shouted, and the warriors held sharp blades to kill the enemy groups that were surging in different directions, and the green dragon took up his longbow and pulled out the elven sword "Cold Moon Light" from his back, staring at the spider under the tree with gloomy eyes, and muttered to himself: "You have chosen the wrong opponent, you must pay for it!"

The spears and tomahawks of orc and minotaur warriors whistled through the forest, trampling the spiders under their feet like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and the orcs were like a herd of rhinoceros running wildly, accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, and the stout trees fell to the ground with a smashing sound. The miner Golle and the master blacksmith Alfrey were no slouch, and the fierceness of the dwarven warriors was on full display, with heavy hammers and axes frantically smashing spiders that dared to meet them, leaving only piles of spider corpses mixed with rotten grass and flesh in the places they had dashed.

Compared to the bravery of orcs and dwarves, humans and gray elves slaughtered calmly and gracefully, the blazing flames burned the spiders to the ground with the majestic chant of the duke, and the powerful lightning with the rumbling thunder instantly split the spiders into charcoals, and every time the spell was cast, a large number of spiders fell, and the magic was scorched everywhere it went. Two agile gray elf assassins were in the midst of the spiders, and a single spider died in a flash of white light, and life passed silently through the shadowy forest, and even the slightest ray of sunlight could not be avoided, leaving the jungle in the cold wind of death.

Feng Ling, who was responsible for protecting the elf girl, helped Mu Xue Hongying to sit down next to the big tree behind her, Gore was launching a storm of shots at the spider swarm from the tree, Feng held a sword and shield, anxiously watching the progress of the battle, while vigilantly protecting the elves.

"It's all my fault...... Kaede looked back and saw Sakura's eyes full of tears, "It's all my fault, if it weren't for my willfulness and leaving the team without permission, how could I cause such a big trouble and let everyone take risks for me......" Kaede stepped forward to wipe away her tears, gently held up her tender little face with her hard gloved hand, and comforted softly: "Don't be afraid, it's not your fault, everyone doesn't blame you, don't cry, we'll all be fine." Sakura raised her head and felt his sincere gaze, her eyes facing each other, and the tenderness that met in her eyes made the two young hearts flutter, and the girl lowered her head shyly and nodded gently.

On the battlefield, dozens of spiders have fallen under the elven sword, the elf ranger dodged the claws that caught it head-on, stepped on the spider's head, swung his sword to cut open its huge abdomen, and jumped lightly to the side, the disgusting green liquid in the spider's belly sprayed behind him.

Suddenly, the green dragon saw a huge figure, it was two or three times larger than the other spiders, and its colors were even more gorgeous. There are many spiders around him, like a battlefield commander. Command the spider army to flood the team.

"Duke!" Hearing the shout of the green dragon, the duke repelled a round of swarming spiders. Looking back in the direction of Qinglong, he couldn't help but look at this behemoth with wide eyes, and his eyes revealed incomparable surprise. "Lingyue, use the light barrier to block the spiders here, I'll go over there!" The duke bypassed the spider corpses along the way, ran to Qinglong's side and asked, "What is that?"

"It's the spider queen, it's the spider army that commands it, we must kill it, otherwise the spiders will kill it endlessly!" but ......" Qinglong hesitated for a moment. "Do you see the spiders around it? there are so many of them, it's not easy to get to it, and it has a hard carapace around it, and a bow and arrow can't hurt it. The duke stared at the spider swarm ten meters away, and said confidently: "Leave it to me, Qinglong, you cover me to get close to it within ten meters, and I will kill it!"

"Okay, follow me!" the green dragon rushed into the enemy group with his sword raised. The Duke followed with an inverted staff. The elves' elegant and agile swordsmanship danced in the enemy's group, like a light dancer dancing a smart dance as he pleased, sometimes spinning, sometimes leaping forward. Sometimes tumbling and flying, sometimes swooping and gliding, the sharp blade of the sword slashes quickly across the enemy. The spiders fell to the ground in intoxication. The commotion on the battlefield caught the attention of the spider queen, who sensed the intentions of the two. Order more spiders to attack the two and surround them. The speed of travel had to be slowed down.

"Whoever stands in my way is the god of death!" Qinglong put his sword back into the sheath, took the longbow from his back with his left hand, and quickly put on three arrows, the bowstring sounded, and the three spiders fell to the ground in response, Qinglong let go of the spider's claws that grabbed it head-on, and kicked the spider's lower jaw, kicking it upright, Qinglong pulled up the duke, stepped on the spider, jumped on another spider with strength, jumped back and forth on the spiders' bodies, and quickly approached the spider. The approach of the two made the spider uneasy, and it turned and moved deeper into the jungle.

"It must not be allowed to escape!"

The green dragon jumped and stepped on the head of a spider, the silver sword was like a thunderbolt nailing it to the ground, and the duke stood firm and chanted loudly: "God of Flame, please give me your violent fire to turn all recalcitrant enemies into ashes!" He raised his staff aloft and danced gently into the air, accompanied by the high-pitched chant that reverberated between heaven and earth, countless huge fireballs fell from the sky through the dense canopy, and the forest instantly turned into a sea of fire, and the team members were unscathed under the protection of the Moon Listening Shield, while the spider queen and countless spiders struggled in the sea of fire, and the sound of sorrow was endless.

The downpour suddenly fell from the sky, extinguishing the fire in the forest, the team members watched all this in amazement, Duke Hunter was even more surprised, he turned his gaze to Lingyue not far away, both of them felt a powerful magical power from the rain, this is obviously not a natural rain, and it is definitely not the water magic used by ordinary elven magicians, the powerful magic emitted by every drop of rain continues to shock the Duke's heart.

"Hmph, Duke Hunter," as the pouring rain suddenly stopped, a silver-haired and white-bearded old man walked out of the shadows of the forest behind the spider queen with vigorous steps, his tall figure was as tall and majestic as a redwood, wearing a brown animal skin robe, and his expression showed obvious displeasure, "The chief court magician of the human kingdom really lives up to his name. However, the more powerful the human being, the less respectful he is of life!" He glanced at the duke's wary face, walked over to the spider queen, and stroked its head with his hand, completely ignoring its sharp fangs and thick, sharp claws, while the spider queen crouched pitifully beside him, like a hound that had been bullied and sought refuge from its master.

"Forgive, Faris, this is a last resort. Qinglong respectfully stepped forward and bowed down to ask the old man for forgiveness, the Duke and Ling Yue looked at in surprise, they had never seen Qinglong so respectful to anyone.

Faris turned his head and narrowed his eyes to stare at Qinglong, and wrinkles appeared in the corners of his eyes, and he smiled faintly with deep meaning, and said: "There are many things in this world that can be forgiven, many things cannot be forgiven, and there are many things that do not need to be forgiven at all. To be forgiving and forgiving, and to give others room is to give oneself leeway. After saying that, he gently patted the spider's head, and the spider shook her head obediently, and slowly retreated into the depths of the jungle, and the surrounding spiders disappeared without a trace.

The old man turned around and walked towards the crowd, Qinglong followed the old man like a disciple, the Duke and Ling Yue also tried to come forward to contact this strange old man, but Faris had no intention of talking to them, he made a gesture to Qinglong, signaling him to wait here, and walked past the team members as if no one was beside him, and came to the elf girl, Feng Ling on the side looked at him vigilantly, for fear that this unknown old man would hurt her.

Standing not far away, the Duke and Ling Yue took the opportunity to quietly ask Qinglong about the identity of the old man, and Qinglong told them that Faris was the supreme messenger of the goddess of nature in the world, and the Great Elder Druid, who was said to be a thousand years old, had lived in seclusion in the Neil Forest for a long time, and was accompanied by flowers, trees, birds and animals every day, and no one knew his origin. A few years ago, he came to the Nier Forest in order to complete the bounty mission, met the old man in the forest, and lived here for a long time, and was deeply guided and taught by the old man, and respected by his teacher.

"Druid?" the Duke and Ling Yue looked at each other, both with a look of surprise on their faces, they had seen many druid records in books before, but most of them were not detailed, and there were few druids among the magicians on the continent, these mysterious nature magicians seemed to hide in the shadows of the forest forever, never showing their true faces.

The three of them were whispering, and suddenly heard a commotion in the crowd, and the three of them followed the voice, only to see Faris standing beside Sakura, the elf girl was still sitting under the tree, the little hand was gently raised and put on Farris's old right hand, the verdant vines surrounded her, emitting green brilliance, the vines gradually opened up pink buds, the delicate petals were stained with a little dewdrops, when the buds bloomed into beautiful and moving flowers, Sakura's pale face regained the brilliance of youth, she opened her eyes, and the uneasiness and guilt had already been dispelled in her radiant eyes, and the vitality and self-confidence of the past had been restored。

She stood up with the help of Kaede and expressed her heartfelt thanks to the old man, who gently stroked the long gray beard on his chest, and said earnestly: "Little girl, you have to learn the lesson of this time, as a member of the team, you can't act without permission, otherwise you may pay a heavy price!" Although his words were teaching Sakura, his eyes swept towards the others around him, and people looked at each other and did not dare to make a sound. (To be continued......)
