Silver Collar, Western Mountains.

Li Wei and others walked quickly through the mountain trails.

Walking in a forest of giant trees hundreds of meters high, Levi suddenly burst out laughing.

"What's wrong, Blake, why are you laughing all of a sudden?" Senna was stunned.

Levi snorted: "I laugh at the Rhodes Empire, after all, there is not enough resourcefulness." ”

"The western mountains, while serving as a natural barrier between the two countries, are also a natural arsenal."

"If I use troops, I will definitely keep people here, ready to attract a wave of polluted monsters to attack the enemy line."

"Even if you can't do it, at least prevent the Red Dragon Empire from sending people over, killing two birds with one stone!"

Hearing this, Senna blinked, and was about to say something.

Erin, who was following the team, suddenly said, "Be careful! ”

As she spoke, she moved and rushed towards Levi's side.

Almost at the same time, Levi's "hostile perception" also sensed a strong hostility against himself.

He shook his body and moved half a step to the side.

Sou!

A golden arrow flew past him and plunged headlong into the ground, leaving a deep hole.

Levi blinked.

This penetrating power ...... It's too outrageous, if I didn't dodge just now, but used something to block it, it's probably cold now, right?

"Lord Blake, please stay behind me!"

Erin ran up to Levi, pulled out the slender blade at her waist, and looked solemnly at the direction where the light arrow was flying.

Under the gaze of everyone, one after another figures wearing black armor slowly walked out of the forest.

Among them, two figures wearing black cloaks are particularly eye-catching.

"It's a witch." Senna frowned.

"Hmph, maybe it's not just witches, they have a weird temperament, it's like dolls."

Ollie grinned, a cursed streak on her body.

Erin held the knife and said in a low voice: "Everyone, you will carefully protect Lord Blake for a while, and I will take the initiative to kill one and capture one alive." ”

"Oh, no problem, leave it to us!"

Ollie nodded and took on the task.

Levi also nodded: "No problem, leave it to me!" ”

Erin: "......"

After smiling helplessly, her whole body suddenly disappeared in place.

In the next second, her figure had already appeared in front of the two black-robed witches.

At one of the witches, Erin raised her thin blade in the air with one hand and was about to swing it down.

This unreasonable speed made Levi couldn't help but be speechless.

Now, he has crossed the threshold of the three-star knight with one foot, and it stands to reason that his strength is good, but he hasn't even seen the process of Erin's movement clearly.

In the face of Erin's thunderous blow, the two witches didn't react much.

The two of them acted in exactly unison, like copy-paste, raising one hand.

In each hand, he holds a black spar.

Seeing this spar, Erin Tong shrank his hole.

She held the hand of the thin blade, added two points of strength, and was about to kill both of them with a sword.

However, as soon as the blade fell halfway, the light arrow flew out of the forest and shot straight at Erin's head.

Because she was in the process of attacking, it was difficult to fine-tune her movements, and Erin didn't have time to hesitate, so she could only change the direction of her power and smash the flying light arrow with a sword.

She looked in the direction where the arrow was flying with some surprise.

I thought that it was one of the two witches who shot the light arrow just now, but I didn't expect that there was a third witch there.

How many witches did the Rhodes Empire send over this time?

As soon as she cracked a glowing arrow, she saw that in the deep forest, one after another glowing arrows flew towards her.

The light arrow flew extremely fast, and almost the moment it saw clearly, it was already in front of the person.

Although Erin can predict the future and know the trajectory of each light arrow in advance, she can't pull away in the face of such a dense and fast rain of arrows.

At that moment, an arc of blue lightning fell from the sky, forming a high wall of lightning.

The arrows of light struck the wall of lightning and were hit by the arc of lightning, detonating the magic contained in them respectively, shattering them in mid-air in advance.

Erin nodded to Deya, who had arrived to help, and then swung her sword and slashed at the two black-robed witches.

However, at this time, the two of them had already completed some kind of ritual.

The black hedron in their hands emitted a strange dark green light.

The moment the light shone on, the surrounding black armor soldiers fell one after another.

The helmets rolled off, and their faces could be seen, as if they were dried corpses.

Seeing this scene, Erin's face changed.

"Everyone, let's go, you can't stay here for long!"

Hearing this, Deya did not doubt him, and began to retreat while releasing lightning to stop the light arrows from flying.

Erin slashed out with a sword, and the two black-robed witches tried to resist, but before they could even use the move, their heads were easily cut off.

The next second, she showed a stunned expression.

The two black-robed witches, the severed necks, there was no blood gushing.

Like ordinary people, they bleed, but the blood only gushed out slowly, wet from the robes they were wearing.

This does not correspond to the situation of normal people at all...... You must know that in order to supply blood to the brain, which is much higher than your position, the heart has a strong pumping force, and if you suddenly cut off your neck, the blood should spurt up very high.

Silently noting the situation of the two witches, Erin pulled away and flew back.

Led by her, the group quickly ran deep into the forest.

"Erin, what's going on, why are you running?" Levi asked.

Several others also looked at Erin.

In the eyes of everyone, Erin's face was a little ugly: "Those two witches used a special ritual. ”

"I also saw this kind of ritual in ancient books by chance."

"The black spar in their hands should have been obtained from ancient ruins, this spar can absorb the vitality of the people around them with a secret method, creating an aura that has a strong attraction to polluting life."

"Just now, so many soldiers' lives were sacrificed, I'm afraid that the polluting monsters around more than ten kilometers will all feel the tempting aura here, and if you don't leave, it will be too late!"

Hearing this, Levi suddenly thought of something.

“…… Before, did the minister's subordinates use a similar ritual to attract polluted monsters to the silver collar? ”

"It's not certain, but it's likely." Erin nodded.

As soon as the words fell, she suddenly saw something, and said quickly: "Change direction, go this way!" ”

After everyone changed direction, they saw in a few seconds that a giant snake more than fifty meters long, swaying its scaly body, rushed towards the direction of the battlefield just now.

“…… Fourth-level pollution monster, good guy, is it so exciting at the beginning? ”

Looking at the giant snake swimming past from afar, Senna couldn't help but be speechless.

Erin was holding on to the tree with one hand, her eyes a little hollow, as if she was looking at something.

When she regained her senses, she smiled wryly.

"My lord, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave."

"This is around here...... Already completely surrounded by polluted monsters. ”

Before the words fell, various voices were already heard in the distance.

Towering trees, hundreds of meters high, are easily broken, and the sound of tearing wood fibers emitted.

The rumbling sound of a huge body stepping on the ground.

The roar of the monster.

In all directions, monsters are coming.

Even in the sky, there are several fish-shaped monsters that look like deep-sea fish, slowly swimming towards this side.

Looking at this overwhelming pollution monster, Xena's face turned pale.

In this, fourth-level pollution monsters abound, and even fifth-level existences can occasionally be seen.

With her strength, if she wants to survive in this situation, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than directly assassinating the Emperor of the Rhodes Empire!

Deya took a deep breath: "Lord Blake, everyone, you go quickly, I'll ......"

"I'll buy time, you take everyone away." Erin snatched her words.

Deya was just about to argue, when she saw Erin say in a deep voice: "Among the people present, I am the strongest, and I have used magic to stimulate my body for many years, and there is a strong magic power in all corners of my body, and I will release all these magic power later, and I can become stronger again in a short time." ”

"Your Excellency Deya, please take this time to take everyone out of here...... At least take Master Blake with you. ”

"This world must not live without him!"

Hearing Erin's tough tone, Deya was slightly stunned.

Her lips trembled a little, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

Just when the atmosphere was extremely solemn, Levi's voice suddenly sounded a little funny:

I said...... Guys, you don't think that I didn't have any preparations, so I took you to the rear to steal the house, right? ”

Hearing this, several witches looked at it with some surprise.

Senna's eyes lit up: "Could it be that Lord Lilith is secretly following nearby?" Great, with her, we'll definitely leave alive! ”

Levi shook his head, "Stupid, how could I bring Lilith to such a dangerous place. ”

In Senna's disappointed gaze, he raised his arm.

"Look, let me show you what a really reliable teammate is!"

As the words fell, he waved his arm aggressively.

A black smoke, centered on him, spread out with a bang, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped the surrounding area for tens of meters.

Seeing Levi release black smoke, Deya's eyes widened.

Since ancient times, the use of various magical abilities has been the preserve of witches.

No matter how a man cultivates, the most he can do is become a spar knight, with a superhuman version of physical strength.

No matter how strong a knight is, it is impossible to use an unbelievable special ability like a witch.

Could it be that Lord Levi is ...... Actually, it's a daughter?

Deya felt her spirits take a beating.

Erin, on the other hand, felt the composition of the black smoke.

With skin to skin, she was surprised: "The power of pollution ......"

"What, pollution?!"

When Senna heard this, she was so frightened that she almost jumped out of the smoke and was grabbed by Irene.

As he spoke, a large number of polluting monsters had already rushed over.

However, none of the monsters reacted to the few people present, and strode directly in the direction they had just come, as if they didn't exist at all.

Standing in the group of monsters, Senna's scalp was a little numb, and she kept looking left and right to prevent any monster from convulsing and trampling them to death with one kick.

Erin gently touched the black smoke floating around her: "I see, the power of pollution and our aura are closely blended, thus hiding the aura of order on our bodies, and the monsters naturally can't detect our existence." ”

Senna couldn't help but look at Levi in surprise.

"Is this the ability you used in Blake?"

"Human ...... Can you really master the power of pollution?! ”

Deya also looked at Levi: "My lord, are you also a witch?" ”

As soon as Levi raised his chin and was about to follow Senna's words, he was almost choked to death by Deya's words.

He glanced at Deya in shock, wondering how the latter could have come to such a conclusion.

"This witch, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, I'm a real man, do you want to show you the evidence?"

Deya subconsciously wanted to nod, but suddenly realized something, and quickly shook her head.

Looking at the polluted monsters running around him, Levi couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Although he knew that he was basically impossible to be in danger under the siege of the power of pollution, seeing so many powerful monsters passing by at such a close distance, this sense of oppression was still very strong.

Senna rubbed her temples.

Erin looked at her, "Senna, are you alright?" ”

"It's okay...... It's just that the polluting power of these monsters is too strong, and I'm a little affected. ”

Senna shook her head a little embarrassed.

The witch's ability to resist external pollution is directly proportional to her strength.

The stronger the witch, the less affected it is by external interference.

Like Erin and Deya, they didn't react at this time.

Senna subconsciously looked at Levi, but saw that the latter, like the other two, was completely unaffected.

She couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Blake, aren't you at all affected by these monsters...... Who the hell are you? ”

Levi sighed: "Good question." ”

"I'm a passing savior, remember it for me."

Senna rolled her eyes, and Dea blinked, as if thinking about what Levi said was true or false.

Erin, on the other hand, smiled.

When the polluting monster was almost over, Levi dispersed the black mist and continued to move forward on the previously set route.

After a short time, the group came to a valley.

Looking at the deep canyon in front of him, Levi let out a chuckle.

Senna shuddered: "Blake, you laughed just now, leading to such a big danger, why are you laughing now?" ”

Levi hugged his arms: "I laugh at the commander of the Rhodes Empire, who is incompetent." ”

"If we ambush a group of men and horses in this canyon, wait for work, and suddenly kill out, even if we are not completely annihilated, we will inevitably be dragged to death here, and it will be difficult to advance."

Senna: "? ”

Hearing Levi's words, she suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Your Excellency, please be careful!"

Erin spoke as she stepped in front of Levi.

At the same time, I saw in the canyon in the distance, one by one figures wearing black armor walked out from behind the boulder.

Along with them, there were several witches in black robes.

Looking at the people who came out one by one, Senna covered her face.

"Blake, I beg you, don't talk anymore!"

Levi: "......"

Oh no, I was the one who planted the flag?
