Three days later.

On a secluded path in the Elven Forest leading from the White Frost Forest.

The place is deserted, and the feet are full of rolling stones. As far as the eye can see, the mountains are scarce, and the grass and trees on the nearby mountains are washed.

The road here was extremely difficult, but William had the foresight to choose not to ride in a carriage, but to choose a good horse to ride.

However, there is nothing wrong with riding a horse and no problem with walking, but it is extremely difficult to walk with goods.

The caravan that William stopped this time had a total of twenty-three carriages, each of which was loaded with heavy goods. It was already heavy, but now when it comes to this kind of rolling stone field, the wheels of several carriages are deeply sunk.

The jackal is directing the mercenary group's carts.

No soon, the carriage had been pushed out of the hollow, and soon another carriage had sunk in.

Meter by meter, the caravan walked with extreme difficulty.

Sitting on a tall brown horse, William watched the scene with a frown.

He took out the roadmap of the trip and looked at it, his brow furrowed even deeper.

This place is deserted, and there are often wild beasts and monsters. Especially at night, there are many dangers, and I don't know how many dangers lurk at night, both visible and unseen.

William looked at the map for a while, then suddenly called the jackal over, and asked aloud, "Can we get out of here before it gets dark?"

The jackal's face was also a little ugly. He shook his head and said, "At this slow pace, I'm afraid not." It was getting dark, and I thought I should stop and find a suitable place to camp nearby. ”

When William heard this, he nodded and agreed, "Then you send someone out to inquire and see if there is any suitable place for camping." ”

The jackal knew this, and immediately ordered a few members of the mercenary group with sharp legs and feet to go out to investigate.

The caravan continued to move slowly.

Soon, before dark, the members of the mercenary group returned from a search and one of them brought the exciting news that a dense forest had been discovered.

William immediately ordered the whole caravan to change its route and temporarily go to the dense forest, camp for the night, and leave again tomorrow morning.

The jackal followed William's side, and as he walked, he said suspiciously: "This piece of bare stone land, with few weeds, how can a dense forest suddenly emerge?"

William shook his head, unable to answer the question. This place, he came for the first time, the experience is not as good as that of a jackal, and it is even more impossible to know the reason.

However, this did not hinder the enthusiasm of the crowd.

That night, William's merchant caravan took up camp in the forest.

The people of the Jackal Mercenary Group all have a fighting spirit. They took out stone axes, saws and other tools, and soon, they knocked down one big tree after another, and tossed out a clearing of tree stumps where they were encamped.

The trees, all cut into two spiky roots, stood side by side deep into the earth, and a fence that could keep the beasts out of attack took shape.

Others gathered branches, leaves, and bark, and piled stones in a circle to make simple bonfires.

William is also helping. He took a folded tent from a wagon, spread it out and worked with the crowd to furnish the night's dwelling.

It's dark, it's already dark.

The people of the Jackal Mercenary Regiment lit a bonfire one after another, took out slices of meat, dry food and other food, and put them in an iron pot to soak and boil.

At this time, four of the five people who had gone out to explore nearby territories returned.

One less.

The jackal soon noticed that the number was wrong and asked, "What about the bhikkhus, why didn't he come back with you?"

One of them shook his head: "I just saw him." Why is it gone in the blink of an eye?"

"I'm still asking you. Go quickly, go the way you came, and get that bhikkhu back. The jackal frowned and ordered dissatisfiedly.

The four of them immediately took the order and left.

Soon, they returned, but one less man.

The three of them looked at each other, their faces full of surprise and inexplicable fear.

This time, they were quite attentive. Once they encounter danger such as monsters, they will shout loudly and send out a distress signal.

However, even so, when he returned, there was one less person.

The jackal was even more angry, and he asked the remaining three to look for it again, but the three were surprised, but they refused.

"Lose something useless!" the jackal scolded, drawing his whip to teach the three men who disobeyed.

William stepped forward, stopped the jackal, and said, "Where are you all lost? Stay here, Jackal, and take care of the people in the camp. ”

When the jackal heard this, he glared at the three of them fiercely, turned and left, busy with the affairs of the camp.

William and the three members of the mercenary group also set off again and hurried to the place where everyone was lost.

In a few minutes, William and the others came to a distance of more than 700 meters outside the camp.

All three of them looked around worriedly, full of wariness. William didn't bother to notice the trio's timid actions, and focused all his attention on finding clues.

However, to William's disappointment, it was all solid dirt and dirt, there were no man-eating swamps on the ground, and there were all tall trees nearby, and there was no sign of demonic beasts.

William probed carefully for a moment, but found nothing.

"Oh yes! I saw it! That big tree just moved!"

Behind William, a man suddenly exclaimed loudly.

This surprise immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the other two companions, and one of them scolded unhappily: "Don't scream, you scared Lao Tzu to death just now!"

"I didn't scare you, the tree really moved just now!" the man said with a firm view that he was not dazzled.

He looked a little anxious, as if he was afraid that William and the others would not believe it.

William was also captivated by his shouts. He turned around and asked the man in a loud voice, "You just said a big tree?"

The man pointed and said, "That's it!" I didn't look at it, and I didn't speak. There wasn't any wind just now, so why did that tree suddenly move?"

When William heard this, his brows furrowed, and his heart became vigilant, and he believed the man's words a little.

One of his companions, however, did not believe it, and swaggered toward the tree, drew his short knife, and stabbed it at the tree.

This thorn, except for the syrup, nothing happened.

The man looked back and grinned, "Damn, did you see that?" It's clearly an ordinary big tree, so you have to be startled and scared. ”

However, before his words fell, William and the others were immediately stunned.

The big tree behind him actually 'lived'!

Two thick branches, thicker than a bucket, suddenly bent, and they clung the man to the ground and threw him into the air.

The man was shocked, trying to balance in the air, but his strength was low, and he couldn't condense his fighting wings and flee away like Kane.

At the moment of crisis, William didn't even have time to take out the Red Flame Wand, so he hurriedly recited a spell and summoned a hot fireball the size of a basin and smashed it into the big tree.

The two on William's side also did their best. One of them drew the arrow from the quiver behind his back and shot an arrow at the tree with his bow, while the other threw the axe out of his hand.

The next moment, the man in mid-air fell, and the tree suddenly cracked open a bloody mouth, swallowing the man whole.

The attack of William and others also fell on the poles of the big trees.

That big fireball exploded directly on the surface of the big tree's bark, blasting out a big hole. The arrow containing the fighting spirit also left a transparent hole in the big tree, shot through it, and nailed it to another tree behind it, and the tail feathers of the arrow trembled.

The last axe didn't play much of a role.

Seeing that the attack was ineffective, William looked solemn and directly took out the Red Flame Wand to release the intermediate magic.

The man-eating tree suddenly fell and shrank into the ground, leaving only a deep hole in the ground. (To be continued.) )
