Chapter 8: Catching up in the air
"Elves have lived here since very early times. Using their wit, they skillfully hollowed out the lower end of the hollow trees in the forest and transformed them into wooden houses that could shelter from the rain. As the relationship between the elves and humans grew, the Elvin Line gradually developed into a cozy town. But just three days ago...... A sudden fire has left the deserted Gran Forest overrun by murderous goblins. In order to find the traces of the elves, Celia infiltrated the Gran Forest alone......"
In front of Hongdou and Cang Mulang, there was a middle-aged uncle with a sad face talking to himself.
But all their attention was on the system prompt in their ears.
You have found the blacksmith Linus and learned that Celia has been captured by the goblins. γ
[Congratulations on completing the second stage of the quest and opening the portal to the Glen Forest.] γ
[The third stage of the mission has begun.] γ
[At the entrance to the Gran Forest, there is a mysterious vendor who witnessed the whole process of Celia's capture. γ
γDing! Once you've completed the mission first, your rivals will be transported to a remote forest area where they can unlock the story of the next mission when they return to Huttonmar. γ
"Great!"
Red Bean jumped up happily, "I didn't expect it to be so easy." β
"yes."
Cang Mulang said incredulously: "I was really guessed correctly by the captain......
The Elwyn Line is the outer area of the Gran Forest, located at the crossroads of the Plains and the Forest.
This place was built to defend against invasions from outside the Gran no Mori, so when Azuki and Soki Lang came here, they found that there were many blacksmiths here.
If it weren't for the information provided by Changhe to find a man named Linus, they would not have been able to complete the task so quickly.
"Shall we contact the captain now?"
Cang Mulang said tentatively: "You have a good relationship with him, if you ask, he shouldn't bother you......"
"Hey, when did you become so timid?" Red Bean gave him a disdainful look.
This guy was not a fuel-efficient lamp when he first came, it can be said that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and no one is convinced except for the deputy head of the regiment.
But now he is so afraid of Chang He, a newcomer who came later than him, it's really unusual.
"I, I'm not cowardly!"
Cang Mulang angrily opened the team channel and decisively issued a paragraph: Hongdou asked you what should we do?
Almost at the same time, a sudden sound in their ears made them both stand in place and petrify on the spot.
[You have found Sherlock and learned that Celia has been captured in Graca's territory in the Gran Forest. γ
[Congratulations on completing the third stage of the mission, and the monster of Graka has awakened.] γ
[The ultimate quest begins.] γ
[Go to Graca, kill the Minotaur Sauta, and save Celia.] γ
γDing! You have completed your mission first, and you are far ahead of your opponents, who will be teleported to the sky city of Arad. γ
β¦β¦
It's not just them who are petrified, but also the teleportation trio who are fighting to the death against a group of zombies far away.
When You Lu kicked a zombie away, he found that his body could no longer move.
This familiar feeling gave him an extremely bad premonition.
Together with Darui and Evenny, who were desperately fighting monsters around them, they were also stunned on the spot at the same time.
γDing! Your opponent has successfully completed the third stage of the mission. γ
[The ultimate quest begins.] γ
γQuest Adjustments......
[Because you are far behind your opponents, the clues have been interrupted.] γ
[The team members will be teleported to the Hanging City of Sky City.] γ
"Grass ......"
Before You Lu could finish scolding, he turned into a rainbow beam of light and flew into the sky along with the two people beside him.
And when they opened their eyes again, they were greeted by a huge eye!
"Whoosh!"
Without warning, a white shockwave erupted from its pupils, heading straight for the trio.
"Danger!"
As he shouted, Yulu jerked Ewinni and Darui out of the way.
The shockwave landed right on his arm, and along with his body, he was knocked in half a circle.
In the scream, You Lu's body fell to the ground with an uncontrollable "bang".
At the same time, he happened to see another eye that grew on a body similar to a reptile!
"Withdraw!"
He shouted as hard as he could.
The monsters here are not something they can deal with, let alone two!
The moment he shouted, Darui and Ewini had already reacted.
They ran to Yu Lu's side, one left and one right, and grabbed his leg and pulled hard.
"Bang!"
A laser shot fell from the sky just where he was lying.
The entire ground shook violently, and huge pieces of rubble fell from the sky, slashed aside by Darui's long knife in his hand.
"This is not the place we can be."
You Lu looked at the two monsters not far away with a sweat, "They are too powerful, we need to get out of here quickly." β
"Those damn guys, they must be cheating!" Yvinie removed the bandage as fast as she could, bandaging it on Yulu's arm.
"I'll go find the exit."
Darui wielded the long knife in his hand, and his body quickly shuttled through the room while dodging the monster's light cannon.
"We pulled them down too much, so we were teleported to more dangerous places, and even if we can defeat these two monsters, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with them......"
When You Lu said this, he raised his fist and punched himself hard, "It's all my fault!" β
"Alright, don't put on such a pitiful appearance to gain sympathy."
There's resentment on Evenny's face, "I've got to see what those guys look like!" β
"...... Evania"
"All the doors were imposed, and we couldn't get out." Darui ran over with a long knife, "There's only one place to get out of here. β
"Where?" Yulu and Ywinni asked at the same time.
"Windows."
Darui stretched out his hand and pointed to the window not far away, "Let's jump." β
"How tall?" Yulu stood up.
"Very high...... The ground is not visible. β
Darui dodged the blast cannon from the side, "We don't have time. β
"Let's go!"
Evani pulled a detonation charm from her bosom and threw it in the direction of the monster.
"Bang!"
With an explosion, three people broke out of the window.
Sent into the sky, the tower reminds them of the arena of the world in which they live.
The whirring wind blew past my ears.
Underneath him, there were white clouds that couldn't see the ground at all.
"Get closer to the tower, we'll be done if there is no support point!" Yulu shouted.
At this time, Evenni's whole body was blown with bursts of white mist.
It's like your body is about to burn.
This scene was seen by Darui, and he couldn't help but be shocked, "Ewini, what are you doing!" β
This is a phenomenon of rapid loss of chakra from the body.
And with his shout, Yulu also set his eyes on Yverine.
"Evine! Do you want to ......?"
"Companion skills."
Ivine's eyes turned fiery red, "Territorial perception." β
[Territory Perception]: At the cost of high-speed loss of chakra, the perception ability is increased in a large area. Within the range of perception, gain the location and vision of the creature with the chakra. The chakra cannot be restored in any way within three days of use. (Cooldown: 12 hours.) οΌ
One of the biggest differences between the Awakened and ordinary humans is that they can obtain a [Companion Skill] that belongs only to them.
Companion skills are strong and weak, and the functional effect will be different for each person.
And the use of companion skills often comes with great risks and costs, so the Awakened will not use them lightly until they have to.
At this moment, everything that Evanine saw became transparent.
In a small, quiet village, a man and a woman are speeding towards one place.
"See!"
Ivine gritted her teeth and stomped the wall behind her, and her entire body flew out.
"Ewinnie!"
Yulu shouted her name and followed without hesitation.
Darui, on the other hand, sighed helplessly, turned over lightly and put his toes on the wall of Sky City, adjusted his posture and flew with the two.
It's not wise, but it seems to be the only hope.
"At eight o'clock, there are two people, a man and a woman." In Evenni's world, she could clearly perceive the two companions behind her following her.
The NPCs in this world don't have chakras, so the chakras she can perceive now are all competitors of this dungeon, except for her own people.
"And what about the other person?" Darui shouted against the wind.
"That person ......"
The flame in Evine's eyes widened again.
And her expression has made some strange changes.
It seems to be shocked by something.
"Fire ...... He was covered in fire. β
