Chapter 8 The First Glimpse of Life

The world doesn't stop spinning because of a change in one person, and the three of them start looking for the trail of the thunder lizard again. It's a pity that the heart of the thunder lizard that the three of them had worked so hard to kill before was finally found to be inadequate. Disappointed, Trixie and Gondor were left with the scales intact. The scales of these monsters were effective when defending against swords, and due to Olethea's previous performance, Trixise once again gave up the loot, which made Gondor take a look.

The boring search didn't last long, and after a few days, Gondor first noticed that the smell of demonic beasts in the air suddenly became stronger. The smell of this large male beast when it is excited causes the air around it to turn into a barrel of dynamite, which explodes at the touch of a button. Such a strong taste is already comparable to the kobolds, bears and other races in the caves, and being able to have such a power in the open hills makes Trixis and Gondor, who have been mercenaries for many years, nervous and curious.

Finally, after crossing a small hill, Gondor looked ahead with some horror, and immediately gestured for the two to stop. Seeing that Gondor, who had always been silent and calm, had such a reaction, the two sisters immediately stood still and held their breath. Compared to the somewhat nervous Olethea, Trixis began to recite the magic silently, striving to send the silence magic out as soon as possible.

However, when they bent down and touched the small slope, even Trixisi was speechless in surprise, and the originally condensed magic power dissipated unconsciously. Olesia gently tugged at the corner of Trixi's coat with her bare hand, and Trixis looked back to see her slightly pale little face, her pointed ears fluttering incessantly.

At the bottom of the slope is a large basin that is rarely seen in the hills, and now the huge basin has been occupied by countless magical beasts. Looking at the dozens of nearly hundreds of thunder lizards below, the three of them all felt a little sweaty in their palms. Although I don't know why they gathered together, it can be regarded as solving the puzzle of why I didn't see the male Thunder Lizard in the first place.

The three of them retreated only to find that they were covered in cold sweat, Gondor made a gesture, and the three of them walked to a hidden place and sat down. "What's the situation?" Trixis was the first to speak, she was reluctant to take risks without knowing the reason, this extremely abnormal phenomenon made Trixie instinctively want to stay away, and the demonic beasts that were enough to level an army were not something the three of them could compete with.

"I don't know, there was no trace of these thunder lizards before. Gondor said slowly. "I'll take a look at it when I get a chance, be careful. I don't know if it's because of the previous reason, Gondor didn't say it to Olesia.

Trixie nodded, turning to look at Oraceia. "What does it feel like. Olesia closed her eyes, and after a while said with a pale face, "All their magical beasts are in a very excited state, or ...... Let's forget it. Trixie frowned and glanced at Olethea, but didn't speak, pulling her aside. Gondor walked straight to the other side.

For three days, Gondor carefully investigated the situation. From time to time, there was a loud sound of fighting in the basin, and after the three of them discussed it, they felt that the group of thunder lizards seemed to be in a duel, which was incomprehensible. Most of the wisdom of Warcraft is not yet civilized, and it is rare to survive on instinct, and will not decide a leader such as a chief like the Orcs.

Although magic began to spread after the Terrans took control of the continent, the entire continent was still closed to information. If he knew an old man who had lived here for decades, he would have told the three of them that every once in a while, the Thunder Lizards would gather all the male Thunder Lizards together, and then each find an opponent to start a duel. This struggle will not determine a final king, and when the casualties reach a certain level, the thunder lizards will disperse on their own. According to the old man, this is the reason why the Thunder Lizard has always been the hegemon of this area.

The three of them didn't know the reason for this, so they could only wait silently for an opportunity. For three days, Gondor also tried to check on the thunder lizards that had died in the battle, but after only observing them for a while, he also knew that the thunder lizards whose strength had been eliminated would not be able to meet the requirements. And even if it was an injured thunder lizard, the three of them were really not sure that they could kill one of them in a group of excited thunder lizards and then retreat with their whole body.

However, on the fourth day, while Gondor was outside observing, a thunder lizard suddenly went berserk. Perhaps because it didn't find its opponent for a while, it moved back and forth in a frenzy, its nose snorting and its feet slamming into the ground. The ground shook up and down and made the unprepared Gondor unsteady on his feet, and the tail swinging back and forth shrouded Gondor in the range.

"Bang!" Gondor spat blood and flew out, for him who was good at assassination, the thunder lizard's heavy blow completely exceeded his frontal endurance, and the stealth state was also broken at this moment.

An alien creature suddenly appeared in the field, which immediately focused the eyes of most of the thunder lizards. At this moment, there were only a few pairs of thunder lizards in the basin that were indulged in the fierce battle, and the rest of the sounds disappeared in an instant, but the next moment the entire basin boiled violently, and all the thunder lizards began to trample on the ground furiously, and this basin ushered in an unprecedented earthquake.

It is difficult for Gondor to maintain his stealth in this situation, maybe the masters of his clan can, but he can't do it at will in this place where the rocks are flying up and down, not to mention that the sudden blow just now caused him to suffer a lot of injuries unprepared.

The two sisters, who had been setting a trap on the side, suddenly heard a loud roar and the roar of a thunder lizard from the other side of the basin. The two of them had a bad heart, turned around and ran in the direction of the basin, and in the process of running, the two sisters took out their longbows at the same time and prepared for battle.

When they arrived, Gondor was at the end of his crossbow, covered in blood. It was not easy to hold out for so long under the siege of so many Thunder Lizards. At this moment, it is too late to think about why Gondor was suddenly discovered, and the top priority is to find a way to get Gondor out first. Fortunately, due to its large size, the Thunder Lizard was unable to effectively surround Gondor.

Trixi's bow was a volley of several ice arrows, and a large area of ice suddenly appeared at the foot of the thunder lizard. The thunder lizards living on the hills couldn't adjust to the sudden ice for a moment, and staggered into each other, and Gondor took the opportunity to stumble out of the gap.

The enraged thunder lizard swarm could not accept being provoked by such a weak creature, and rushed over with a roar. Trixie cursed and could only do her best to turn this slope into ice. In a panic, Olesia desperately shot at the beast tide in front of her, but unfortunately she was not strong enough in the face of a thunder lizard, and now the scattered arrows were even more threatening, and the wind elemental was scattered before it could get close.

Barely blocking the beast tide, the three of them turned around and began to flee. The tripwires and spikes that had been hastily arranged in advance were useless under the combined force of the beast tide, and only a few magic traps that took a long time to set up finally blocked a few unlucky thunder lizards, although they didn't cause much damage, but at least they felt that these little bugs were a little too troublesome, and turned their heads to stop the pursuit.

It is rare for a small grove to grow on the hills, and the lush trees make people sigh at the miracle of life. Unfortunately, it seems that their lives are coming to an end today. As the three uninvited guests infiltrated, a dozen thunder lizards gasped and rampaged in. The woods that had grown up with great difficulty were destroyed a lot in an instant.

"Damn, are these demonic beasts raised by the Inquisition? Gondor thought angrily, but he didn't dare to slow down. If it weren't for the agility of the three of them, I'm afraid they would have been gone.

The three of them were already exhausted, and the hopeless competition with a group of people made them all begin to feel a little hopeless. Fortunately, before their physical strength was exhausted, they finally found a small forest to barely fight with the Thunder Lizard for a while, and along the way, relying on Trixi's ice arrows and Olesia's wind magic, the three of them watched as they distanced themselves from the Thunder Lizard.

"Are you all right?" asked Gondor, grabbing the trunk of the tree, at the two of them. As soon as the three of them came, they each found a tree and began to climb up, but at this moment they could only rely on the location to delay for a while. The thunder lizard roared and rushed underneath, and it was not a way to go on like this, and the trees here in the hilly area could not withstand such a large demonic beast rushing indiscriminately.

"Give me a few minutes. Trixie's cold voice was tinged with a hint of weariness.

Unfortunately, these trees could not withstand the impact of the Thunder Lizard, and Olethea had already exhausted herself from unleashing wind magic during her previous escape. Gondor looked back and forth a few times, and finally gritted his teeth and jumped down again to start a whirlwind with the Thunder Lizard.

Not long after, the tree where the two were located was forcibly broken, and the two joined the battle. Trixie relied on years of struggling between life and death, and she was injured in the herd. It's rare for Olesia to experience such a high-intensity battle, and the escape alone is enough to make her physically exhausted. At this time, the body had not yet recovered, and his steps were frivolous, and he could only rely on the elves' familiarity with the forest and their innate affinity for the wind element to delay time.

Trixie looked at it in her heart, her slightly dark face looked extremely pale at this time, and her black cloak was stained with a lot of dark red blood. However, at this moment, she was also separated by a full five thunder lizards, and she didn't even have a chance to attack, so she kept dodging.

Olesia frowned as she looked at the three thunder lizards chasing her, her chest lungs burning like fire, her white skin changing to a sickly pale after a long run.

Looking at the nearest thunder lizard, Olesia could even see in its reddened eyes the pale, helpless, weak self floating through the forest like a fallen leaf. She felt that the air around her was as oppressive and closed as the flow of water, and the agile wind element of the past was no longer strange. She opened her mouth in vain like a stranded fish, and the sounds around her were blurred.

"What if...... If someone can top up to the front, that's great. It occurred to Olesia's mind vaguely that her original kind and unbearable mind had been thrown out of her mind by her weak body. I can't control my own fate, so I can't worry about the fate of others. If there is a war tree or a druid in front of Silvermoon City, he must be allowed to appreciate the power of the elves today.

For some reason, the first thing that Olesia thought of was the young man with a shield and a sword, maybe because she had met him along the way, Olesia thought to herself, she was still in the mood to think of something unrealistic at this time. If only someone could stop the Thunder Lizard like the man in front of him.

Hey, wait, like...... It's really him. Olesia swept away her previous decadence, staring intently at the man holding the shield in front of her, her small mouth slightly open, and she just woke up and immediately fell into a stupor.

Before Olethea could think about it, a holy light fell from the sky and fell on Trixith. Olesia was shocked, but fortunately, after taking a closer look, Trixis was only slightly unwell, and the injuries on her body had healed more than half, which showed that this person was skilled in divine spells. On the other side, a wave of fire rushed towards the Thunder Lizards, blocking them and giving everyone a chance to breathe. Then a chain of slow magic flew out in one step, hitting the balance point of the thunder lizard near Gondor just right, and although it didn't take down the behemoths, it also created an opportunity for Gondor to take them down.

Olesia stared blankly at the figure in front of her, and a woman's complaint came from the side. "Really, the lizard's magic resistance is as high as in the world. Olesia turned her head to look at the place where the words came from, and at first glance her eyes were full of red, and then she was shocked by the red dress, and there was only one beautiful word left in her mind. That kind of free and wild has never appeared in the quiet and elegant elves, so wanton red and glamorous that a girl like Olesia is thrilled, and for some reason, Olesia suddenly felt a little dull.

In addition to Davion and the sorceress, there was also a paladin with a giant hammer and a man dressed as a hunter standing on the side, and when the three of them saw someone helping, they jumped out and began to bandage themselves. Gondor leaned his back against the tree and placed his twin knives in his hands, looking around cautiously with an indifferent expression.

"You guys buy me some time. Lena said angrily, Ruyu's hands were already waving weaving magic symbols up and down. The rich fire element gathered in her hand, and a pale red halo of smoke enveloped her jade hand. The blonde man glanced back, nodded, and joined the boy from before to stop the Thunder Lizard. Fortunately, this is the forest, and there are many places where the thunder lizards can't be used, and the two of them have the opportunity to stop more than a dozen thunder lizards outside, otherwise a dozen thunder lizards will charge enough to trample everyone here into meat sauce.

The blonde man healed the crowd while protecting himself with a giant hammer, and it was hard to imagine that a warhammer could be used as well as a defense. After the woman in red's spell was completed, a wall of fire circled around and separated everyone from the thunder lizard in an arc. Thunder lizards may rush through walls of fire and take heavy hits, but the beast's instinct keeps them hovering on the other side.

Suddenly, the wind rose and the fire rose sharply, forcing the thunder lizard back a few steps. The woman in red seemed to sense something, and when she turned around, she saw an elven woman looking at her with a pout, her face pale, but there seemed to be a little hostility in her eyes. The woman in red didn't know why, so she had to smile at her.

Everyone took this opportunity to leave the place first and move to a safe place, and Olesia couldn't help but ask, "Davion, why are you here?" and the other two also looked at them warily.

"Do you believe me when I say I'm passing by?" replied Davion with a wry smile. "By the way, this is Priest, this is Lena, this is Olofan. Davion's fingers ran over the three of them.

Olesia didn't dig deeper. "This is my sister Trixis, this is Gondor. The two nodded at the four. "Let's go, let's rest for a while. The crowd did not refuse.

Along the way, each had their own agenda, only Gondor and Lena chatted to understand each other's situation, and the rest of the people occasionally interjected.

Because everyone was tired, they ate and found a place to rest. Trixie takes Aurethea aside for helping her bandage.

"This is the person you mentioned earlier?" Trixie was about to ask, but Oracea nodded and fell into deep thought. "Sister, I know what you want to know, but I think at least the blonde man has no ill will. Trixie nodded slightly, the man named Priest was a decent old knight, and it was really hard to think about anything else, but if the disguise was too good, it might not be enough.

In the previous conversation, Davian had come from the Lorba Marshes on the other side. Originally, I just wanted to go around to see if I could get a harvest, and then go back to town, but I didn't expect to meet them. Olesia didn't doubt it at all, she subconsciously trusted Davian very much, I don't know why my sister was so suspicious, according to my sister, I was afraid of it.

"You like him?" said Tracis, who asked Orethia suddenly.

Olesia was stunned, do you like it? No, think about it, it's been almost a year. The ignorant boy she met in the forest at the beginning, and then she hurried together to train in the sweat of Rock Ridge City, the shock and helplessness of cleaning the battlefield together under the city wall, and the back of being injured in the field and bringing her back step by step. I can't say it, but when I see him, I feel a little more at ease.

Trixisi saw that her first reaction was not to blush, and she was inexplicably relieved. "Alright, let's go back first. After that, he was the first to return to the camp. Olesia froze and moved her head, following Trixie step by step.

Although Davian and Olesia both have a lot to ask each other in their hearts, today's battle is really a line of life and death, in case they miscalculate the actions of the Thunder Lizard and rush over in one fell swoop, then there is only life and death. As soon as they lay down after eating, they went to sleep with their own thoughts.

The next morning, Davion and Priest woke up at the same time, and the training methods of the two knights were indeed similar. As soon as the two of them woke up, they found that Trixis and Gondor on the other side had begun to clean up. The four of them nodded in greeting, and Priest and Davian went to the side to wash.

"Do you think they're wrong?" asked Priest with the utmost caution.

"A little bit of darkness?" Davion was a little unsure, trying to control his facial expressions. "But how could Olesia ......?"

The two quietly glanced at each other and returned to the camp.

After everyone had packed up, Gondor told them about their mission, and Davien and the others discussed it, and Olofan told them that many parts of the Thunder Lizard's body were in short supply right now, and they could give it a try. When Lena heard this, she raised her hands in approval, as if piles of gold coins were in front of her. Because of Olethea, Davian and Davion also agreed to help.

"Can you show me your snake galls?" asked Aurethea on the way to Davion.

"Hmm. Davion pulled out a dark green snake gall from his bosom, still with some swampy scent, and there was a faint crimson in it. See Olesia intently playing with the snake gall in her hand. Davian asked casually, "That, is that your sister?"

"Well, what's wrong?" said Olesia, looking up from the snake gall in her hand, her face full of confusion. "Nothing, just think...... Not quite like you. ”

"What's wrong?" Trixise snapped off.

"You don't smell like it. Davion couldn't accept Trixi's indifferent tone for a while, and finally couldn't help but say it.

The team stopped, and Priest didn't expect Davion to say so directly, and his hand slipped to the handle of the warhammer. There was silence in the audience for a while, but Trixis still had the same attitude, with some sarcasm in her tone. "Oh? What do you think it looks like? She pulled Olethea aside.

Olesia was in a hurry to interject. The Lord says that all things will be answered at the source. Priest said indifferently. Gondor snorted coldly, Olofan didn't say anything, Lena was surprised that the two of them took it so seriously, and since the undead began to really intervene in the war, these things have slowly begun to be accepted.

"What if I didn't tell you?" Trixie literally turned to face them. "Sister, let's complete this mission first. Olesia took Trixie's hand, a little pleading. Since someone played a round, the two here also began to persuade. "As long as no one is holding me back. Gondor said meaningfully. Davion replied with some annoyance, "We don't care to do that kind of thing, and I don't know who is cornered. "That's good!" Gondor lost his temper.

"Davion, do you care?" In the afternoon the group returned to the basin to start scouting, and Olesia and Davion left the group under the pretext of being in the crevice of the rock pile. Olesia asked the question as she confronted Davion.

"I ...... I didn't think you were looking for her. Davion tried to pick the words. "Your sister seems to have dark elves. He didn't finish his sentence.

"Well, you don't want to dig into that, okay? But she's my sister. Olesia said sadly, bowing her head. The supple blonde hair covered her sad expression, but she couldn't suppress the sadness that spread with the autumn wind.

Seeing her like this, Davian's tone and body relaxed. "It's okay, I'm just ...... I can't accept it at once. Davion was a little incoherent, after all, it had clashed with his understanding of the past ten years, and his mind was also confused at this time. If his father Syd had been here, he would have had no guilt in his heart, dogma is always dogma, but the experience that age brings is what is really useful.

Olesia opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything. She suddenly remembered Silvermoon City's playmate when she was young, but now she was a stranger. It turned out that she thought that even if they had their own secrets, they could sit together and talk, but they couldn't do it in the end.

"Don't worry, I said it wouldn't hurt you. Davion turned and walked in the other direction.

Oraceia looked at Davion's back and suddenly felt that her body was very heavy. Some people love the haze of the morning light, but they are not close to the sun at noon. The carriages that met on the road did not necessarily go to Rome together.

The wind is cold, and the trees are dark.
