25. Fairy tale war (6)
The bloodstains were once interrupted by the changes in the dense forest, but even if the trees were changing, they could not shed the stench that emanated. Ordinary people may only be able to "perceive" this "weird" smell with their eyes when they are looking at it, but for those "animals" who live on it and are sensitive to it, they can find the source of the smell with just a little bit or drop.
It is called "survival", and the purpose of its existence is precisely to "live".
"Here ......"
Turning left and right among the trees, Irina did not have the previous confusion, but hurried towards the next place where the blood was more "fresh" scattered. In this forest where only two parties exist, the blood stains of one must be left by the other, in other words, as long as you follow the taste, you can know where Alice and the others are going.
With Alice was the Chloe, a ...... Seems to be a little familiar guy. But no matter what, she will never be helpless because of the changes in the forest, which is also for the sake of "living".
"What's the matter, hurry up and keep up. ”
"Ahh ”
Letty, who was stunned for a moment, came back to her senses, carefully removing the jagged blades while trying her best to keep up with Irina's footsteps.
Every plant and animal in the forest exists because they have a way of protecting themselves from ordinary "enemies". Or clever hiding, or seamless camouflage, or wrapping yourself in needles and thorns, or simply walking up the food chain.
Nature. It's not uncommon for leaves to have sharp serrations. Although all this is for the "eldest lady" who has not been here for long. It seems a little overwhelming.
"You ...... It's going to die outside. ”
"Huh?"
"There's more than one way to get stronger, but you have to live first. ”
With unexpected force, she pulled Letty in front of her, and Irina motioned for her to start exploring, "If you delay any longer, I'll just leave you." ”
"Hmm......"
Good, so harsh. Is that how Alice has always been in the same room with such a guy?
"I got it......"
However, Letty is more aware of the serious consequences that can arise from conflict in this place. Teams exist for cooperation, not for contradictions. And that's right. If you want to become stronger, if you want to fly higher, you must first live. The result of exerting all his strength is to fall from a higher altitude and fall into the sea. Therefore, you have to be patient here, whether it is the wear and tear of the clothes and fabrics caused by the intricate roads, or the anxiety brought to the heart by the increasingly strange forest, if you can't bear it, you will inevitably use more strength. And......
Irina would definitely do what she said, lone wolf. It's definitely possible to do things like leaving your companions to "live".
Let's find the way, that's all we can do. Ignore everything. Whether it's the jagged teeth of a leaf cutting through a garment or the soles of a foot stepping on a raised tree root, you have to focus on finding the next "tragedy", and I'm afraid there will be more and more disgusting things to happen after that...... But I can only bite the bullet.
"Ahh
Spotting something strange not far away, Letty was so happy that she forgot what kind of tragedy she would see when she approached, and she left Irina behind and slammed her head into the clearing where the smell of blood gradually became thicker.
But...... Maybe it's because the previous impact has made her immune, or maybe this time the "tragedy" hasn't risen to the point where people want to vomit, Letty, who has a lot of brains, actually accepted it calmly.
Unlike before, most of the poor insects who fell to the ground this time were shot like gunpowder and fell, the wounds were small but very obvious, the head, neck, and heart were ...... All of them are parts that can directly kill people, and they can be relieved without feeling pain at all. But...... If you look at the time when the flintlock pistol was reloaded, it is really a bit unscientific to fall so many people in such a short time. After all, the opponents of the magicians are also regular "invaders", not some kind of fools!
“...... It's weird. ”
"Uh-huh, yes. ”
"Theoretically, it's not possible to have such a fast fill time. ”
"Well, it always feels a bit similar to the factory's standard pistol. ”
"A standard pistol? What is that? Is it a new product made by some craftsman?"
"Well, this is not easy to explain, in short, it is a kind of ...... that can be fired continuously."
“......”
Wait, like, something was wrong from the beginning.
"Ahhh
Screaming, Letty drew her sword and retreated to Irina's side.
Sure enough, after coming back to her senses, she could know with her hair that the person who had just sane the "analysis scene" with her could not be Irina at all. Since it's not Irina, it can only be ......
Enemies.
"I, I'm just scared. Lena, clutching her chest, also returned to her companion.
The confrontation not far away, although there was no fight without saying a word, but this dull air was really unpleasant.
"Irina...... Spell it?"
Letty lowered her voice and asked, the heavy bass hadn't gotten used to it for a while.
In terms of quantity, this time it was very "accidental" to bump into three "guests" from afar, even if one of them seemed to be just a spearhead child, but ...... The unscientific "magic" itself cannot be measured by the standard of "science". Merely...... This should be a battlefield, and the atmosphere always feels that something is wrong, in the end...... What went wrong?
"But there are many of them......"
"No, it's a lot of us. Muttering strange words, Irina came to Letty's side. Naturally, she has changed her clothes, and even her gender has changed "incidentally", so she doesn't have to worry about being recognized by Lina, who has had a relationship with each other, but the problem is that even if she doesn't recognize it, she can't be allowed to leave here again.
It's never a wonderful thing to be seen. But it may be a little difficult to kill her from the front, this woman, while using a big destructive "magic", seems to have enough physical strength to reach a good level.
So......
That's why we need a little bit of a different way, two against three? No, right, right, although there is one that cannot be judged, but the other ...... Her aura had already revealed her "position". Ms. Rosie is not wrong at all, although this iron wheel from the "outside" is so imposing, it is by no means indestructible, after all, it has the resistance of the "city wall", and ...... From the very beginning, the tracks of the iron wheels had a deadly thorn.
Woman...... Why don't you do it? ...... How long will we have to wait?
