Chapter 399: Trapped

"And will you do it?"

Chelus looked at Selman and asked, who was a little disapclaimed by the wolf girl's smiling appearance, and muttered to herself that she had inadvertently revealed some flaws and was recognized by this goblin girl?

“...... Looks like you're pretty sure I'm not going to do anything to you, do you?"

"Is it wrong?"

"Well, yes, I'm not going to do it," Selman shrugged, "but I'm really curious, why the hell are you so sure I'm not going to do you any favors?"

"Because...... You're a perverted Lolita who has controlled Sister Gray Wind~"

On the side, Selman and Nanoha were crooked, and they were expecting the wolf girl to reason again, but they didn't expect this girl to sell a pass as usual, but this time she didn't play her cards according to common sense. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Ahem...... I really don't have any ...... for your sister Grey Wind."

Selman explained with some headaches, but felt as if it would be of no practical use to explain this to the girl, so he waved his hand.

“...... Anyway, you're right, I'm not going to do anything to you, but it's not for what you say...... Forget it, I think you're right, I'd better go down and sleep for a while in order to keep a little more spirit in the second half of the night's vigil. ”

With that, Selman waved his hand and turned away, carefully approaching the ground little by little like a big monkey in order not to make a sound. Seeing the funny look of the red-haired uncle, Cheruth couldn't help but be a little glad that she and Nanoha could directly float and descend in the air, so that when they went down, they didn't need to make such funny moves in order not to wake everyone up.

"Chelus, why do you trust Mr. Selman so much?"

Seeing that Selman was already far away, Nanoha finally couldn't help but whisper a question.

Cherus pulled Nanoha back to sit down and grinned.

"I'll say it all, because of Sister Grey Wind. ”

"Huh?"

"Sister Grey Wind told me that although she was annoyed by this uncle who always tried to pester her for some reason, she could feel that this person really had no malicious intent. And when I was ambushed in the forest before, this uncle could see that he was helping us out of sincerity, so Sister Grey Wind told me that this guy could be trusted, and I didn't think there was anything wrong with him, so that's all. ”

Cheruth shrugged playfully, following Selman's example, and turned to Nanoha.

"Did Nanoha find something suspicious about this uncle?"

Nanoha shook her head.

"Personally, no...... If anything, it's most suspicious that they are so good to us for no reason. ”

"Yes, that's the only thing that Sister Greywind and I don't worry about this guy," Cheruth nodded in agreement, "But anyway, we were able to get out of danger thanks to this uncle before, and we may need him to be a reliable companion at least in terms of strength on the way after...... With his strength, if he wanted to disadvantage us, he should have done so many opportunities along the way, this logic, although it is a bit old-fashioned, but this is also the idea that we can best use to comfort ourselves now. ”

With that, Chelus looked at Nanoha apologetically.

"I'm sorry Na Nan Noha, I finally returned to the place where I and Sister Gray Wind grew up and should have taken you around to play, I didn't expect to encounter such a danger, don't worry, I don't dare to say it anywhere else, in the Warcraft Forest, Sister Gray Wind and I have a lot of big backers~"

"Hmm~"

The two who sat in the canopy fell silent again, and Cheruth stretched widely, leaning on Nanoha's shoulder as if to play tricks. Looking at the wolf girl's lazy appearance, it seems that everything is really as easy as she said.

Nanoha was sure that Cheruth's heart would never be as calm as she had said...... How could they really be emotionless when they were attacked so violently in their familiar home?

Raising her hand to wrap her arms around Cheruth's other side, Nanoha tilted her head and pressed her face to the wolf's ear as she lay down on the top of Cheruth's hair.

Cheruth, she'll be fine......

The wolf girl didn't expect that her original plan was to rest in the shallows for a night, recuperate and avoid the peak of the search of the monsters, and then set off again the next day while the patrols of the surrounding monsters were relaxed...... As a result, they spent a few days in the shallows.

Originally, Cheruth also planned to abandon the route originally set out by the major mercenary groups before departure, and enter the middle of the forest from a more hidden route according to her and Grey Wind's experience, but she didn't expect that the monsters were like crazy, as if they would not stop until they found their traces, and they didn't leave any gaps in any direction for the nine-person team to take advantage of the loopholes.

There were even several times when some patrol teams led by high-level demonic beasts approached the lake where they were, and almost debunked the illusion that the top-level demonic beasts they had disguised with Helan's magic crystals and old tree branches were here.

Thankfully, Wendy and Nanoha were on the team at a pinch.

Wendy is a rare wind auxiliary magician, in addition to her main wind magic, she is also very good at feng shui dual-system magic magic. Illusion magic may not be very useful in head-to-head combat of the same level, but in situations where a small team like this needs to hide and evade in the enemy's search, illusion can be most useful.

Using the several magic crystals with large magic reserves provided by Nanoha (in fact, Nanoha's "reserve ammunition" that relies on magic crystals to store magic energy in the body to release attacks), Wendy arranged a very clever illusion magic circle around the shallows, and after the magic array was activated, it was impossible to see that there would be a shallow beach in the middle of the lake from the lake.

At the same time, Nanoha borrowed Lucy's magic guide that could eliminate the smell and interfere with the perception and judgment of the demonic beast, and used her special body magic guide circuit that could increase the effect of all the magic wizards, and with the effect of Wendy's illusion magic array, even a few sixth-order demonic beasts who led the team were deceived.

However, this method of concealment is obviously achieved by relying entirely on the team's magic crystal reserves, although Cheruth has unloaded the demon wolf crystal on the shallows, which was originally a bluffing weapon but has now become the culprit of attracting bees and butterflies, and handed it to Nanoha to replace the energy storage magic crystal for her to absorb the magic power, but the situation of the team is still not optimistic at all.

But Chelsea and the others have no other way, without the gray wind, Natsu and Elusa's combat power, the overall strength of the team is equivalent to just over half of it, if they rush out and fall into the previous encirclement in their current state, even if Selman alone is a seventh-order powerhouse, he may not be able to take care of everyone, and Chelus and they don't want to see any one in the current squad have any mistakes.

In this way, Cheruth and the others were temporarily trapped in the forest. Unbeknownst to them, however, their disappearance was a source of nerves for those looking for them.

A few days ago, after learning that there was still a very strong team left in the forest among the eight teams that entered the forest, Gurney, who immediately guessed the origin of this team, immediately took the initiative to ask Ying to assist Tias in clearing out Chiruth and others.

For Gurney, who thinks he has no other purpose to survive than revenge, whether intentionally or accidentally, Cheruth, who has repeatedly appeared in their Nolan's important plans and played the role of an obstacle every time, has become an enemy in his perception that must be eliminated, and this time he will definitely not let this wolf girl who seems to be always favored by the god of luck escape, as he did when he was in Lorris.

And Gurney's proposal also solves the urgent needs of Daisy and Ryan, who are in charge of the overall situation in the forest. Being ambushed and besieged by three Transforming Demonic Beasts plus five Sixth-Order Demonic Beasts, but being able to turn defeat into victory and even kill two of them, this result has proved that this team is difficult to deal with by high-level Demonic Beasts below the seventh order, but if they want to mobilize these seventh-order top-level Demonic Beasts in the core area of the forest to participate in the search and arrest operation on the outskirts of the forest, this difficulty is a little too great.

As I said before, the Warcraft in the Warcraft Forest has a very strict sense of hierarchy according to their own strength, and one of the specific manifestations of this consciousness is the activity area of Warcraft.

Let the top Warcraft who recuperate in the core area of the forest all the year round go to the periphery to lead a group of low-level Warcraft to hunt down human invaders, which is undoubtedly like asking the first member of the imperial court to personally lead a group of street catchers to the street to catch thieves in the ancient times of the earth...... If the other party has the leisure and leisure between the micro service private patrol and the market, then it's okay, but if the other party doesn't mean that at all, this matter involves a matter of dignity.

If Daisy and Hydra were to defeat the three of Herlan and become the new forest overlords with their own strength, perhaps they gave such an order, even if those top Warcraft were dissatisfied, they would only swallow their anger and bear the humiliation, after all, in the forest, this is the absolute privilege of the strong over the weak, but Daisis and Hydra used the power of a group of humans who came in from outside the forest to seize the power of the Warcraft Forest, and even plotted against the old tree, and now it is not a secret among the top Warcraft, which makes these two new " The prestige of the Ruler of the Forest in the eyes of other top-tier demonic beasts has greatly diminished.

Dai Qisi can imagine that if she gives an order now that these top demonic beasts will go to the periphery of the forest to patrol and hunt for the "low-level physical work" of the invaders, maybe those top-level demonic beasts will unite and directly pick on her face, and when the time comes, the plan of the Nolan clan will be delayed, and whether this group of foreign humans will support her to fight this battle with that group of top-level demonic beasts is another matter.

You can't use top-level demonic beasts to catch people, but you can't catch people without top-level demonic beasts, Ryan's strength is enough to reach the quasi-seventh-order level and can be commissioned, but if there is only this one person, it is obviously not enough to patrol such a large forest.

The appearance of Gurney and the others was obviously just the right time, and the three of them were adding Ryan, so that there were a total of four quasi-seventh-order level leaders, which immediately made Daisy calm down about the progress of the search at that time.

But after a few days, the patrol on the outskirts of the forest didn't see even a trace of the team. The team disappeared into the vast forest as if the entire team had evaporated.

During this time, Gurney also used the communicator to communicate with the eyeliner that the major mercenary groups had bought from outside the forest, but all the information showed that Chelus and her demon tail team had not left the forest since then, which made Gurney extremely annoyed.

How could a group of human mercenaries who were now cobbled together, half of whom were amateurs (Gurney, who didn't know where Cherus really came from, only thought she was a student of the wolf clan studying in Lorris), hid so well that the real owners of the Warcraft Forest couldn't find their whereabouts?

In the end, even the four of Gurney scattered regardless of their strength, and the four of them scattered around the area where they were ambushed, but they still found nothing.

It can be regarded as the luck of Cheruth and the others, among these high-level magical beasts that the four people came out to find them, there is no illusion master like the dark phantom butterfly Daisis, and the four of Gurney don't know anything about magic except for the talent of law, how could they never have thought that Cheruth and the others hid in a small inconspicuous lake within their search range, and used a phantom array that was amplified by magic crystals to completely deceive their eyes.

The forest is full of turmoil because of the Cheruth team, but all this is not known to the mercenaries in the adventurer town outside the forest.

The core elite squads of the three top mercenary groups and the four large mercenary groups that are slightly inferior in scale, plus a well-known elite mercenary squad that has been in the limelight recently, the eight exploration teams that look luxurious in terms of staffing among the mercenaries are finally defeated in less than half a day, and the average survival rate is not even one-third, which is undoubtedly a very heavy blow to the major mercenary groups in various senses.

Six of the eight squads returned, and among the ten members of the Silver Wing Mercenary Regiment with the best situation, only two Dou Qi Masters and two ordinary mercenaries escaped with serious injuries. There are two squads left, the most miserable team from a large mercenary group even has only one crippled member left who was finally fished out of the beast herd by the passing Silver Wing mercenary group, and the other demon tail team that did not come back, although there was no total annihilation witness information, but after they did not return for several days, even the Silver Wing mercenary group that supported them the most had to admit that it was very likely that this team had turned into bait for the monsters somewhere in the forest that everyone didn't know.

On the fifth day after the end of this tragic forest exploration, the special exploration team of the Kingdom of Loris arrived in the adventurer town. (To be continued.) )
