Chapter 402: Bait
Although because of Wendy's excellent effect of the phantom array, the Warcraft patrolling around were completely unaware that the group had been hiding in the central shallows of this small lake for the past few days, but because of the pressure of the search instructions from above, even if nothing was found, there were still many low-level Warcraft squads wandering around the small lake as scout eyes in the past.

Therefore, although Cheruth and the others wanted to keep a low profile, they were still mastered by the other party less than half an hour after their departure. Of course, because they only encountered some low-level demonic beasts, they didn't wait for those low-level demonic beasts to send any signals or warnings, and they rushed forward directly to turn them into corpses on the ground cleanly, but this time this practice did not play a role in hiding their whereabouts.
When they entered the forest before, the Warcraft were scattered and patrolling a wide area, so if a Warcraft team was killed instantly without being able to issue any warning, the surrounding Warcraft would not be able to notice such a situation in a short period of time.
But now, in their eagerness to find the traces of the Chess, the Nolan Foursome have brought in a lot of low-level demonic beasts from the surrounding areas with less patrol pressure to increase the patrol density in this area. Although Cheruth and the others killed the first team they encountered as quickly as possible, they didn't even let the other party make a sound, but after killing those few monsters, the inevitable smell of blood that spread quickly made the monster team at close range aware of the abnormality.
After realizing that the monsters had detected their whereabouts, the Cheruth and the others no longer continued to slow down in order to hide their whereabouts, but began to march at full speed.
For high-level Dou Qi users like Grey Wind and Selman, it is not difficult to rely on the blessing of Dou Qi to run fast in their legs, and Nanoha and Lucy, who have flying magicians, will not be slow down, as for the two injured Natsu and Elusa and the ice mage Gray, with the help of the levitation technique of the two high-level wind mages of Cheruth and Wendy, they also temporarily experienced the feeling of sliding at low altitude, and rushed towards the forest with everyone at full speed.
The first ten minutes of the team were overwhelming, because they didn't know they were hiding in this area in advance, so Gurney and they didn't assign many powerful high-level monsters here that could cause them some trouble, but soon the situation changed.
Instead of rushing to their deaths, the low-level monsters began to harass the high-speed squad from all directions in an attempt to slow them down.
In fact, these Demonic Beasts with Spiritual Intelligence had received instructions from Mr. Gurney of the Nolan Clan, the commander-in-chief of the pursuit, from the Demonic Beasts of the higher level before they came out to lead the patrol. The human team they are going to hunt down is very powerful, and once they find out, the first priority is not to go directly to capture or kill the other party, but to quickly launch a harassment and blockade based on delay and containment, and then tell the nearest Nolan people about the matter as quickly as possible and ask for support.
A few days ago, the story that this disappeared squad had killed two leading incarnate demonic beasts plus an ordinary sixth-order demonic beast in the siege of a full eight sixth-order demonic beasts, and it had already been privately spread in the circles of these high-level demonic beasts, so these high-level demonic beasts did not show their usual arrogant attitude of contempt for humans, but faithfully carried out Gurney's order after discovering the whereabouts of Cheruth and others.
So soon, under the overall command of several sixth-order high-level demonic beasts who were in charge of patrolling in this area nearby, a pursuit net composed of hundreds of low-level demonic beasts and a dozen fifth-order or sixth-order high-level demonic beasts quickly covered Cheruth and the others, who had not gone far.
Except for some monsters who were naturally big and thick enough to stand in the way, they continued to approach Cheruth and the others for close-range attacks, and the rest of the monsters just followed them around the team, and then kept throwing all kinds of long-range magic. Although the small fireballs and wind blades released from these low-level demonic beasts were not powerful enough to pose a threat to the members of the squad, after these low-level demonic beasts gathered more and more, they began to purposefully gather one or several members of the squad again and again.
In the face of more than a dozen concentrated attacks of low-level magic, in addition to Grey Wind, Selman, and Cherus, the three people with master-level fighting qi protection, even Nanoha, who had magic guide armor, had to dodge the attack by changing direction or pausing to save the little remaining magic crystal reserves. Once this is done, the attacker's forward speed will inevitably be affected, and the rest of the team will be left alone some distance behind the rest of the team that has been moving at a high speed.
In this kind of pursuit battle between two groups of teams, the most dangerous of the pursued teams is the lone one. Cheruth knew this very well, so every time there was a lone person, she had to ask everyone in front to slow down for a while, and wait for the people behind to catch up before setting off together.
Once or twice was fine, but as the number of demonic beasts around them increased, and even those few high-level demonic beasts who were commanders joined in, releasing intermediate-level and even high-level attack magic that even the weaker Celeth and the injured Gray Wind could not ignore from time to time, and finally the speed of the team slowed down completely.
However, Cheruth and the others were not stupid, and they soon noticed the attempts of the monsters to delay their time. Thinking of the last time the last eight high-level demonic beasts had premeditated an ambush on them, the mood of Chelus and the others sank.
"That's not going to work. ”
As she spoke, Cheruth used the magic guide compiler to release a large number of wind pressure magic bullets to fight back at the low-level magical beasts who harassed them with long-range magic attacks, but the number of opponents was too large, and it was in a dense forest with dense trees and easy to dodge, so the wolf girl's magic barrage attacks had little effect.
"This is obviously delaying our time, those powerful high-level demonic beasts must be on their way. ”
Cheruth knows very well how smart the high-level demonic beasts in the depths of the forest, especially those humanized demonic beasts, the kind of lineup last time was not able to keep them and was bitten by them after a big bite, these guys actually planned to confront them head-on again, the only explanation is that this time the demonic beasts have a stronger powerhouse than the last time to join, so that they have the confidence to overwhelm them in strength.
Each of the three humanoid demonic beasts had the strength of the sixth-order peak, and if they dared to say that they were more powerful than this, they were only seventh-order law-level top-level demonic beasts. Although Cheruth felt that it was too unlikely that those top-level demonic beasts at the core of the forest would come to the periphery of the forest, it was ...... Pinning your hopes on the enemy in battle is always the stupidest thing to do.
They also have a Selman who is likely to be a law powerhouse, but if the other party has a few more human demonic beasts as helpers, it will still be a very dangerous situation if Natsu and Elusa on their side are considered wounded and sick and have no combat effectiveness. And although Selman seems to be very friendly to them, especially cares about Gray Wind, after all, everyone is not familiar with each other, although there may be some suspicions of living a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain, but Cheruth really can't be so optimistic to assure herself that when it comes to the real life and death, this mysterious red-haired uncle will really fight for them.
So after thinking about it, Cheruth reluctantly found that it seemed that the choice in front of her was only one that was destined to make Sister Grey Wind angry.
...... Anyway, isn't she the main character? Why is she, the main character, always acting as a bait?
"Sister Gray Wind, I'm going to find a way to attract the attention of these demonic beasts, you can take everyone out of the forest quickly while I lure them!"
"No way!"
Grey Wind, who was walking behind Cheruth, was the first to speak without even thinking about it.
"yes, it's too dangerous, Chelus!"
"Cheruth, don't take any chances, there's always a way for everyone to work hard!"
Immediately afterwards, Nanoha and Lucy and others behind Cheruth also spoke up to persuade them, but Selman didn't say anything, but kept scanning the surrounding demonic beast encirclement with some casual eyes that didn't know whether he was serious or not, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xiaobai, I warn you, you are not allowed to do such a dangerous thing all the time!
Although everyone was persuading Chelus to dispel her thoughts, Grey Wind, who knew Chelus well, knew that Cerus would say such a thing at this time, which was basically equivalent to saying that her heart had made a decision. Therefore, after she verbally stopped Cheruth, she immediately warned her disobedient sister very harshly through the transmission.
Although there have not yet been top-level demonic beasts, but judging from the fact that those human-transformed demonic beasts have already appeared on the periphery of the forest, there must be something wrong with the mother and their side inside the forest, and the powerful demonic beasts of those forests will not necessarily show mercy even if they once knew us, it is too dangerous for you to go alone, I will not allow it!
But Sister Gray Wind, you can also see that we can't rush out like this now, and someone must disrupt the encirclement formation of those demonic beasts.
I'll go!
Sister Gray Wind, you haven't been injured yet, not to mention it, even if you are not as suitable as me for this kind of thing.
Grey Wind leapt to the front of Cheruth, and glared at her fiercely with green and gold eyes.
You think you can beat me now, do you?
Cheruth looked at Gray Wind's fierce appearance a little speechlessly, and she didn't know that she thought that Sister Wolf was really going to beat her to prove that her strength would not be much weaker even if she was injured.
I'm not doubting your strength, Sister Gray Wind, but after all, I have the ability to evolve the law, and my survivability is indeed the strongest among us when it is critical.
Gray Wind was silent, she really had no way to refute this. Although she is now a sixth-order peak Dou Qi master, and Qi Ruth is only a sixth-order initial Dou Qi, with about a five-star mage strength, but if it really comes to a critical moment, if Cheruth struggles to bear a huge physical load in a short period of time, she can completely use the law of evolution to rush her strength to the seventh level, and even completely copy the complete body form of the Demon Beast King, the Dark Moon Demon Wolf, Helan.
Not to mention that with the law of evolution, coupled with the few leaves of the old tree grandfather that have been stored there by Cheruth for so many years, as long as Cheruth still has a breath, she can rely on the law of evolution to obtain the majestic vitality of the old tree grandpa to live, and indeed at the critical juncture, Cheruth's individual survivability is much stronger than that of a simple and powerful person like her.
Looking at his sister's smile that looked smiling and not nervous, but in fact, her eyes were already full of determination, Gray Wind suddenly felt a little powerless...... Why does this child love to be strong so much, as a sister, she has been trying to correct the bad problem of Cheruth for 14 years, why hasn't she been pulled over at all until now?
"Alright, it's okay everyone, I'm going to be fine. ”
Seeing that Grey Wind was silent, Cheruth knew that the hardest one had already been done, and turned to the others with a sigh of relief.
"Nanoha, Lucy, you should all know that I am no stranger to this forest than those magical beasts, and if it were me, it would be better to hide in many cases, maybe it would be more dangerous for you to flee the main force at that time. ”
"No, it's too dangerous to be alone anyway!" Nanoha said with some anxiety, "Sister Grey Wind, you should quickly persuade Cheruth, she listens to you the most!"
What Nanoha didn't expect was that Grey Wind didn't try to persuade Chelus to dismiss her as she had hoped.
“...... Nanoha, you take everyone and leave quickly, and I'll go with Chelus to get the attention of the monsters. ”
"No, no......"
Nanoha was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Sister Wolf, who was still so vehemently opposed to Cheruth's adventurous behavior just now, suddenly rebelled, but the chestnut-haired girl who knew that there was a summoning contract between Cheruth and Gray Wind quickly reacted, it must be that Grey Wind had communicated with Cheruth in private.
Lucy and the others didn't speak at the moment, although they and Chelus and the others were obviously friends, but after all, the relationship between the three of them was not as good as that between Chelus, and the conversation between the three of them was obviously not very easy to intervene.
...... And in all fairness, they also knew that it was most appropriate and sensible for the current situation to use one or two people to attract the attention of the monsters and create a chance for others to escape.
Chelus was stunned when she heard Grey Wind's words, and then shook her head.
"No, Sister Gray Wind, your injuries are not healed yet, and you are the only one in us who can contact me anytime and anywhere-"
"You say that every time!"
Grey Wind angrily interrupted Cheruth.
"When I signed the contract, I didn't want to be your liaison!"
Cheruth was speechless.
Just when the atmosphere was a little stiff, Selman, who had been concentrating on their side and had assisted the rest of the team in fending off most of the ranged magic attacks, suddenly spoke.
"That's good, I'll go with the two of you to lure away the demonic beasts, and Gray Wind will be responsible for leading the others to escape quickly, and when you escape, you will come to pick us up if you have the ability." ”
With that, Selman smiled at the crowd who were a little surprised by his unexpected remarks.
"Don't worry, I'll take care to protect this girl, she's your most important sister in Grey Wind, isn't she. (To be continued.) )
