Chapter Forty-Seven: The Guide Rong Ruo
Rong Ruo's mood suddenly rose from the bottom of the valley to the clouds, and she now felt like a traveler walking in the desert who found that her water bladder had burst and the water had spilled all over the ground, and when she was desperate, an oasis appeared in front of her.

This is because the figure that Anton found was none other than their guide, Batu, and he was alone.
Rong Ruo's haze left by leaving footprints in her heart was swept away at once, she bounced up from the ground, ran to the deer's side, and said to everyone without hesitation, "Let's go catch him." β
Although she said that it was us, when it was time to act, Rong Ruo still rushed out alone, and when she rushed out on a deer, Rong Ruo put on a stealth technique for herself, but she didn't have any pressure by herself, and she was very sure that Batu couldn't see her.
But this was not the case, Batu kept looking straight at her as if he could see her, at first he looked puzzled, but then he became excited, he drew his hunting knife from behind his back, crossed it to his chest, and made a charging gesture.
Rong Ruo didn't know why it was like this, but she had already rushed here, and it was impossible to turn back, she folded her hands and concentrated her magic power to condense the snow from Batu's feet into a rope.
Rong Ruo felt even stranger that something had happened, and although Batu seemed to be guarding her, she easily wrapped the snow rope around his feet and threw him into the sky at once.
Rong Ruo then stunned Batu, who was still in mid-air, with a soul blast, and the young hunter was unexplained by her.
Xiaoxin trotted to Rong Ruo, who had just appeared, looked at Batu, who had been stunned, and sighed: "Rong Ruo, you are so amazing!"
Rong Ruo knew that as the youngest agent in Valhalla, his strength was not bad, but he would not be able to let down a fully guarded Mao Wen so easily, although he was still a Mao Wen who had not gone through the coming-of-age ceremony, but this was a little too easy, right?
Didn't he see himself just now, so what did he just see to put on that posture?
Rong Ruo had some thoughts in her heart, but she didn't dig into it, after all, there were more important things to do than thinking about this.
"Let's get out of town as soon as possible, and it won't be good if someone finds out we've captured him. Rong Ruo said to everyone.
"But didn't you say you don't know the way, where are we going now?" asked Anton.
"To the south!" Rong Ruo replied without thinking, "The south is the direction of the capital, no matter what, let's get out of the heart of the mist first, as for finding the galaxy and them, after entering the forest, let Batu take us to the old mine." β
No one objected, and the matter was settled, Rong Ruo continued to take everyone out of the city with the stealth technique, this time there was another Batu, and the range of her maintenance stealth technique had to be increased a little, which caused her mana to be consumed faster.
Speaking of Batu, even though he was only a minor Mao Wen, his weight still broke through the sky, so they had to use some special means to take him, tying him with ropes and dragging him along.
They couldn't care less about Batushu, who had been in close contact with the ground all the way, and he was unconscious anyway, so he couldn't express his objections. However, with such a burden, everyone's speed inevitably slowed down a lot, so Rong Ruo had to take two breaks in the middle.
Faced with this situation, Rong Ruo couldn't help but wish that she had a magic tonic potion in her hand, although she had always disliked those unpalatable potions issued by Valhalla, but now if she could have two or three in her hand, she would definitely be much easier.
After three or four hours, Rong Ruo was tired and couldn't tell the difference, but they finally saw the border of the city, a huge wall separating the city from the jungle.
As a pristine city, Heart of the Mist still retains the city walls, which are rare in most cities in the Empire, and they follow Mao Wen's unique architectural style, tall, thick and rugged, in a sense, a unique landscape that can only be seen in the Heart of the Mist.
However, Rong Ruo can't enjoy these scenery now, and the excessive consumption of magic power makes her feel a headache, and Mao Wen patrolling the city wall makes her have to raise her spirits.
"Look at the way to the city, my head hurts. Rong Ruo whispered to the people around her that she didn't send Pixar to find the way, and the little goblin was not in a good state now because of the magic she shared.
"Are you okay?" asked Xiaoxin, looking at her with concern.
Rong Ruo leaned on the back of the fawn and squeezed out a smile at her: "Don't worry, at least it's okay to hold on until you get out of the city." β
"That one over there should be a road up the wall. Lan Yue said, pointing to the east side of the city wall.
Rong Ruo raised her head and squinted at that piece, where there was a prominent slope on the city wall, it should be the way to the city, she shook her head, forced Jingsen, and said, "Then let's go quickly, get out of here early." β
Several people dragged Batu to the bottom of the slope, and the vicinity of the city wall was carefully cared for, and there was no snow on the road to the city, revealing the uneven bluestone road below. When they dragged Batu up the city wall, Rong Ruo couldn't help but wonder if knocking around on the stones like this would break the young Mao Wen's head.
Because of the tense situation, the heart of the mist is very heavily guarded, and there are many Mao Wen standing guard on the city wall, and these big cats are vigilantly looking at the forest below the city wall, completely looking like they are preparing for war.
Rong Ruo knows very well that the current Forest of Mists is like a dangerous powder keg, surrounded by sparks, and there is a danger of explosion at any time, and she does not want to see the Empire start a civil war here, so she must summon the truth hidden in the fog and use it to extinguish all the flames that may ignite the powder keg.
So Rong Ruo could only apologize to the tall Mao Wen who was standing guard in front of her, she folded her hands, and the invisible hands composed of magic power were clenched into fists and knocked down from both sides of his head, and the tall Mao Wen snorted and collapsed weakly on the ground.
With the fall of the tall Mao Wen, the figure of the group was also revealed, this was no way to do it, Rong Ruo's remaining magic power no longer allowed her to use the magic of the invisible hand while maintaining everyone's invisibility.
"All ready, grit your teeth and don't shout!" Rong Ruo said to everyone.
"What are you ready?" asked Anton, but before he could put down the rope that was dragging Batu in his hand, the man flew out of the wall.
Not only him, but everyone, including the stunned tall Mao Wen, was thrown off the city wall by Rong Ruo with an invisible hand, and then she patted the deer's neck, "Let's go too!"
The fawn carried Rong Ruo jumped down from the city wall that was six or seven meters high, in order not to alarm Mao Wen, this was the most convenient way, very fast, very dangerous, but also very exciting.
The invisible hand constructed by the magic dragged Rong Ruo to the snow under the city wall smoothly, and then she used the invisible hand to catch Anton who fell from the sky one by one, and the whole process was thrilling, although Anton who was thrown into the sky by her didn't think so.
Anton, in particular, scolded as soon as he landed, "Are you crazy! I was almost scared to death by you!"
"Don't worry, we can't get out of the city gate, so we have to come down like this, and aren't you all right?" Rong Ruo whispered.
"Look at them, do they look like they're all right?" Anton said, gesturing to the other two girls.
Lan Yue leaned against a tree with a dismal face, and Xiaoxin even held on to the trunk and vomited, and after vomiting for a while, she raised her head: "Rong Ruo, next time you want to do something like this, tell us clearly first." β
"I warn you. Rong Ruo muttered quietly, but looking at the three people around her who were not in a good state, she held back the words behind her, and turned to look at the two Mao Wen who were still unconscious.
She flipped off the fawn, because of the overuse of magic power, Rong Ruo stumbled a few steps when she landed, she quickly adjusted her pace, walked to the tall Mao Wen and squatted down, as the guard of the city wall, he was fully armed, with a complete set of Mao Wen standard equipment.
Mao Wen took all their weapons and equipment when he took them to the Heart of Mist before, so Rong Ruo had no choice but to hit this tall Mao Wen with the idea, she first took the hunting bow and quiver from his back and handed them to Lan Yue, then took his long hunting knife and threw it to Anton, as for his remaining weapon was a bone dagger, she handed it to Xiaoxin, as for herself, because of the exhaustion caused by excessive consumption of mana, she didn't want to take any weapons for the time being.
After distributing the weapons, Rong Ruo stood up straight and said to the other children, "Let's go." β
"What should he do?" asked Xiaoxin, pointing to the tall Mao Wen who had just been stripped naked on the ground.
"Just throw it here. Rong Ruonunu mouthed, "If you lead the way, it is enough to have Batu." β
But having said that, it wasn't so simple to get Batu to work with them to help them lead the way. After leaving behind the hapless tall Maowen, they dragged Batu into the dense forest, and after finding a small col and making sure that no one was around, they woke him up.
"It hurts. The young Mao Wen first let out a muffled snort, he wanted to reach out to rub his head that was aching from the soul impact, but found that his hands were tied, he opened his eyes and saw Rong Ruo and a few people in front of him, "Yes... You guys, what's going on?"
"Batuu, we want to know the location of an old mine. Rong Ruo said to him.
"This is there...... And you, you should be in the residential area. Batu turned his head to observe his surroundings, and he noticed the deer following Rong Ruo, "That deer, by the way, I should have recognized it, that deer is your prey." β
At this point, Rong Ruo finally understood why she was so easy to put down Batu just now, she had fallen into a misunderstanding before, she ignored that there were also people in Mao Wen who could be born to see the spirit of nature, and Batu was obviously such a person. Due to the nature spirit's peculiarities, her invisibility had no effect on the fawn, and Batu was wary of the fawn instead of her.
Unlike when she still had the leisure to think about these things, Lan Yue asked Batu bluntly, "Where were my brothers locked up by you?"
"Your brother, I don't know what you're talking about. Batu looked blank.
"Don't pretend to be garlic! My brother, and Chonggo and Xiaorou, they're all locked up in a scrap mine by you, where is that waste mine?"
While Lan Yue spoke, Anton cooperated with the hunting knife across Batu's neck, but the young Mao Wen didn't eat it at all, he bared his teeth and let out a low roar, turned his head, and put on a posture of killing him.
"Fatty, put the knife away. Lan Yue, you should also calm down. In order to prevent the situation from getting out of control further, Rong Ruo hurriedly spoke out to stop the somewhat impulsive Anton and Lan Yue, she understood that the two of them were anxious now, but they didn't have to deal with this matter in such an extreme way.
Rong Ruo looked at Batu, who was still with his head sideways, "Batu, Anton and Lanyue are a little excited, but there is a reason for this, we have three companions, Xinghe, Chonggo and Xiaorou, you have seen them before, they are locked up in a mine, and they are in danger, we must find them." β
Batu calmed down a little, and he turned around and said, "You have been expelled from the forest, and if there is any danger, it is your own fault for trespassing into the forest." β
"You!" his words infuriated Anton and Ranyue, who were almost about to take up arms and aim at Batu.
"Calm down!" Rong Ruo stopped the two of them again, and with her and Xiaoxin's efforts, they reluctantly made Anton and Lan Yue lay down their weapons.
"Batu, the situation in the Misty Forest is tense right now, the Imperial army is just outside the forest, and the flames of war can be ignited at any time, you don't want to see your home become a battlefield, do you?" Rong Ruo said to Batu.
"What do you mean?" Batu stared at her, "Mao Wen is not afraid of war, if you want to provoke a war, then come!"
"We're here to stop this war!" Rong Ruo wanted to know what these Mao Wen had in their heads, she raised her voice, "You have detained the prince of the empire, which has put this forest of mist on the brink of war!"
Batu looked at her-for-tat, "It's not our fault, it's your demons who have broken into the heart of the mist and gone on a killing spree on our great hunt, we just want an explanation!"
"So you think so?" Rong Ruo felt a little ridiculous, "Senior Cherie is indeed a difficult person to get along with, but she is definitely not a person who kills innocents indiscriminately, this kind of thing happened because your Elder Barcelona caught people in the village on the edge of the forest and came back to do human experiments! Senior Cherry just entered the forest to investigate the truth of the matter!"
"You're lying!" Batu retorted without hesitation, "Elder BarΓ§a wouldn't do something like that!"
Rong Ruo stared at Batu's eyes and said word by word: "Everything is in the abandoned mine near here, whether what I said is true or not, you can see for yourself." If what I say is true, then you help us rescue our companions and make the truth known to prevent this war from happening!"
Batu's breathing became much heavier, and after a long time, he looked into her eyes and said the same word by word: "If what you say is false, I will not hesitate to bite your neck!"
