Between the dense jungles.

Plants and plants, densely packed together, take root on this land.

The sun was shining in the sky, and it was noon.

The intense rays of the sun shining on the earth shine through the holes between the leaves into the mud of the forest.

It adds a touch of temperature to this cold forest.

Not far from the forest, there is a wooden house made of various rattan trees built between the trees.

These wooden houses of various heights and sizes are arranged around them to form a village perched on trees.

Humanoid inhabitants can be seen around the village, as well as some patrolling the area wearing leather goods.

These inhabitants are not human, but alien.

They have a human-like appearance, but are more slender and have longer limbs than humans.

The proportions of the limbs look a little weird.

The exposed body has greenish-brown spots, and the human face has a pair of large eyes.

Compared to normal humans, these eyes are at least twice as large as those of ordinary humans, and they are very dewy and shimmering.

They call themselves the Quacks, a race that inhabits dense forests.

It feeds on the wild fruits between the trees and the wild beasts between the trees, and flying insects.

Suddenly, a piercing flute pierced through the space and into everyone's ears.

The village immediately burst into commotion, and the civilians inside ran frantically through the trees, returning to their treehouses and closing the doors and windows.

Soldiers dressed in leather came out of the village, squatting among the branches and leaves of the trees, and hiding.

They were armed with short bows and poisonous blowguns, with only a few slender daggers and blades.

They crouched among the fallen leaves of the woods, holding their breath motionless, like seasoned hunters.

Then the branches and foliage of the trees not far away suddenly broke open, and several figures rushed out of it, jumping quickly between the branches, and their slender limbs made their bodies extremely flexible.

From time to time, they can hang upside down from a tree branch and blow a poisoned arrow at the enemy who pursues them behind.

The movement of the enemy who pursued them was even greater, and the sound of many tree branches breaking could be heard.

Then a black shadow rushed into the air from among the leaves behind him.

A quack clan who was running away couldn't dodge in time, and was directly pierced through his chest by his slender nails.

Sharp nails pierced through the center of his chest, dark green blood dripping down.

And it was an orc-type cannibal who attacked him.

More ogres then popped up between the trees behind them, killing the village in front of them.

The quacks outside the village immediately organized a defense, and the arrows and poisoned arrows attacked the ogre.

Most of the strength of these quacks is only at the bronze level, and the power of the attacks launched is very limited, and they can only cause relatively weak damage to these ogre soldiers in front of them.

The only thing to be thankful for is that they have a lot of soldiers, which may allow them to resist a little longer, or feed more cannibals.

Although the number of ogres here is less than 100, all of them are silver elites.

And it can be seen that they are all agile classes, although they are not as good as the quacks, but they are not slow to jump between the trees.

If these quacks want to rely on their agile body and the surrounding environment to fly kites, they are obviously thinking too much.

These cannibals are coming.

Directly against the attack, he killed the quacks.

The huge gap in strength caused these quacks to have no power to resist, and more than a dozen people were killed in an instant, leaving corpses to fall from between the trees to the ground.

Dark green blood mixed with the dirt and leaves flowed into the dirt.

Although the rest of the quack clan was terrified, they had to fight for the sake of their families in the village behind them.

The cannibals roared, frantically charging at the enemy again.

Some couldn't wait, so they directly tore off the corpses on the ground and put them in their mouths to chew.

The hunger in that roar was so piercing.

They were starving.

The entire battlefield was in chaos, but it was obvious that the Qua Clan was completely inferior, and it would not be long before they were all wiped out.

At this time, a silver figure rushed over from behind at an extremely fast speed, and then directly pierced the chest of an ogre.

The screams of the ogre captain attract the ogre soldiers who are wreaking havoc ahead.

They turned their heads and saw what was happening behind them.

A hint of fear appeared in their hearts, but they resisted to turn their heads and attack the enemy who suddenly appeared behind them.

The silver figure that flew over was a dragonman who looked like an upright lizard and looked like a dragon.

He pulled his blood-stained claws from the ogre captain's chest and flung his body at the enemy.

The greatest force directly smashed the beast-type man-eater who caught the corpse into the air.

An ogre looked at the dragonman in front of him and said in a hoarse voice, "You damn fellow again, why are you always holding us back?" ”

"You are so ugly, how can such a race be worthy of living in this world, as long as there is one person left in your race, we will continue to hunt you down."

Holhol, the dragonman, said with a laugh.

Behind him, some figures quickly rushed over.

A few of them were his teammates, and one of the squads was made up of four Funa.

The two squads of them acted together, after all, they had detected a large number of people in this ogre force from the real-time map.

The squad couldn't eat, so to be conservative, Holhoth called a few of them who were not far away.

Seeing that his teammates had arrived, Holhos didn't bother to talk nonsense with these cannibals, they were all going to die anyway, and it was a waste of time to talk too much.

The body turned into a silver streamer and rushed towards the humanoid ogre who had just spoken to him at an extremely fast speed.

To be able to talk to him like this, it has to be a captain-level cannibal.

The sharp hand swung down in the form of a claw, and the enemy instantly raised his shield, trying to defend but directly cutting off the shield and hand entirely.

Taking advantage of the enemy's screams, the other claw passed directly through the chest.

An ogre who wanted to sneak up on him was smashed directly by a fireball.

Holhos turned to his teammates and gave him a thumbs up and said, "Thanks." ”

The teammate with the staff in his hand looked at the enemy's blood on his hand and couldn't help but say, "Why do you have to penetrate someone's chest every time, can you not make it so bloody." ”

"Haha." Holhoth smiled perfunctorily, then turned into a silver streamer again.

The claws pierced through the chest of a man-eater again.

Looking at this scene, the mages in their team shook their heads helplessly.

Although there are quite a few ogres, the strength of the 9 people in Holhos and Funa's team is almost all bottlenecks and peaks.

has great strength to suppress, plus those quacks in the rear of the enemy are constantly harassing them.

The cannibals were beaten and retreated, and some of the frightened ones had begun to run towards the forest, abandoning their comrades.

At the cost of minor injuries, all the remaining cannibals were annihilated.

As for the few that ran away, it didn't matter anymore.

Explorers who are not badly wounded begin to collect useful equipment from their enemies.

The rest, with the help of Finalis and another healer, recovered quickly.

After recovering, everyone gathered, did not communicate too much with these quack tribes, and didn't even bother to deal with the corpses, and returned directly the same way.

The rest of the quacks looked at the departing figure of Holhol.

In the sunlight, the lantern imprints on their bodies reflect a beautiful metallic sheen.

"They are the warriors with lanterns?"

"It should be, I've seen people like them when I was in the village of Chimir before."

"That's how they did it, killing these ugly monsters and saving the people there."

"Ah, what a great bunch of people."

"Alright, don't talk about it, let's clean up these corpses."

"These ugly races are hunting again, we need to inform the city lord to send more soldiers to support, otherwise we won't be so lucky next time until someone else comes to the rescue."

"Yes! Captain. ”

This is not the junction of the Lantern Collar and the Ogre Territory, but the periphery of the Ogre's Territory, other spheres of influence.

And this large area of forest is the territory of the Qua people, they have a large population, and the area is also forest.

After more than ten days of tugging, the ogres found that they couldn't do anything about the lantern collar.

Instead, they've been losing their own troops, so they're sticking to their borders and ignoring the murderer in the Lantern Collar.

The man-eaters who stubbornly defended made the explorers' profits fall to the bottom in an instant, so they had to start using the real-time map to thwart the small army of cannibals who wanted to harass other forces around them to obtain food.

This will not only give them a reward, but also increase the prestige of the Lantern Collar in the surrounding area, and also deal a blow to the cannibal troops by the way.

On the way back, Holhoth looked at the two silver magic stones in his hand and smiled.

The teammate behind him looked at the magic stone in his hand and said with a smile: "Captain, you only got two, didn't you kill so many?" I got three of both. ”

Hearing the words of his teammates behind him, the smile on Holhols's face disappeared instantly.

Finally, I picked up my pace and hurried back.

He's just a little unlucky this time.

The teammates behind him laughed and quickly followed.

After returning to the camp on the border, they divided the spoils of the two squads and went directly into the guild hall.

After entering the guild hall, the team was disbanded.

Holas walked to the bar with heavy steps and said to Burton, "Have a cup of Dragon's Fury." ”

Burton nodded, and after a while he pulled out a glass of flaming scarlet flame and handed it to Holhol.

The dragonman took it and took a sip of it, making a refreshing sound.

At this moment, a little boy walked by with a tall stack of magazines.

Looking at the little boy, the dragon man smiled and said, "Little Gem, why are you alone, your little ghost head group of four?" ”

"What a little ghost head group of 4, it's a strong exploration team, Uncle Long is really annoying, hum." Little Gem turned his head and said loudly, then walked away briskly with the magazine in his hand.

I only heard the heroic laughter of the dragonmen behind me.

The so-called Little Devil Head 4 is a small team of 4 children in the guild.

They are always referred to as the Mighty Expedition Team, and then jokingly referred to as the Little Devil Head 4 by the members of the guild.

This annoyed them, and they vowed to teach these people a hard lesson when they grew up.

"Huh? Is the magazine he was holding the latest issue of the Ring of the World? The dragonman asked suddenly.

Burton was wiping his glass when he heard the dragonman's question and nodded.

"I heard that it was released yesterday, and Kane asked Little Gem and Little Crocodile to buy a batch outside and bring it in."

Hearing Burton's words, the dragonman got up and walked directly to the front desk, he was still very interested in the new issue of the Ring of the World magazine.

You know, this is the first issue after the opening of the Ring of the World.

When he came to the front desk, he happened to see Kane also walking over and picking up a magazine.
