What's more, the quest itself can't be mortal, it will definitely have some loopholes that allow Xavier to use it to reduce the difficulty.

For example, during the last invasion of the water ghosts, Xavier could have stayed in the hut at the time and waited for the local garrison to support him, instead of going out to fight the water ghosts himself.

In the same way, Xavier can also report to the captain first, ask him to send more troops, and then go to the forest to search together.

But would Xavier do that? He wouldn't.

The reason is simple, Jill and Spencer may be in danger now, and it is true that the ploy just now is to make themselves safer, but other people's lives may be lost because of this.

This is not Xavier's style, and if he had the ability to help, he would never die.

By analogy, it's like an old man lying unconscious on the ground, will you choose to rescue when you pass by?

Xavier chose to save it.

Thinking of this, he did not waste any more time and expressed his intention to Miss Hannah that he wanted to save the two.

"No problem, I'll follow you. The girl nodded to Xavier, then pulled out the flare gun that the captain had given her and fired a cloud of green smoke into the sky.

"That way, the captain will know that something is wrong, and we'll get ahead of them and see if we can get the two out. Even if the two of us have an accident, the follow-up reinforcements can come to support as soon as possible. ”

"We won't have any accidents. Xavier replied with a smile.

"I hope so, too. ”

Then, only two figures disappeared in the lush forest.

~~~~~~

Sir Liszt, who was sitting on the chair, was still on official business, but suddenly heard a knock at the door, and hurriedly asked the person who knocked on the door to come in and report.

"Captain, green smoke is rising from the forest!" said the reporter anxiously.

"Damn ......it," said Sir Liszt, as soon as he had heard the report from the visitor, and he knew very well who the green smoke was coming from, because the flare gun had been given to Captain Hannah by his own hand.

"Pass my orders, gather the first squad, and set out with me. As an experienced captain, he knew exactly what to do in such a situation, and he quickly gave orders to get the huge machine of the barracks up and running.

Then, he put on his armor and brought the steel and silver swords he carried with him, and came to the place where the team was assembled.

~~~~~~

The golden cornfields flutter in the breeze, like gold in nature, showing off their prosperity in the sun. Among them, there may be villagers and ordinary people, who will reverberate the golden light, making the beautiful jade lose its color.

This was supposed to be a harmonious picture, but the arrival of a soldier and horse made the peaceful cornfield instantly unpeaceful.

Lukka looked away from the gold of the land and saw a convoy of soldiers and horses departing from the local garrison barracks.

He vaguely remembered that the last time such a situation occurred was when the water ghosts invaded, which made him feel a sense of crisis in his heart, and he couldn't let his daughter fall into that kind of predicament again.

"Lysha, where are you?" he shouted with his mouth open.

~~~~~~

Perhaps Miss Hannah did not expect that her small act would lead to a series of consequences, and at this moment she and Xavier were following the footsteps on the ground at a very fast pace.

Along the way, they didn't encounter any danger, unless you count some weird little insects, and there were no obstacles in the way, because someone had already cleaned them up in front.

Eventually, the two came to a hut and heard a scream.

The scream came from Jill.

The fierce man was now lying outside the door, blood flowing from the wound in his abdomen, completely staining the earthy yellow earth. Next to him, a strange young girl, also lying on the ground, cries intermittently.

Seeing this, Xavier hurried over, only to see Jill reaching inside with difficulty, as if trying to tell him what was going on inside.

But he didn't have to speak, because in the next second, the whole door was violently bounced open, and Spencer, who was investigating with Jill, flew out of it and fell next to Jill's blood.

Seeing this, Xavier hurriedly pulled out the silver sword behind him, and the captain of the Hannah detachment next to him pulled his bow and arrow on the door of the house.

At that moment, they heard a cry coming from inside the house, and with it came a strange creature dressed in a cloth coat, hooded, and with no facial features on its face.

No, it possesses a mouth, a cracked, irregular, smiling mouth.

It was as tall as Xavier, with both forearms replaced by scythes and oil lamps, and legs at the bottom, as if floating in the air.

Even without BGM, Xavier can feel the huge pressure that the monster is giving him.

He immediately understood what kind of snake spirit this was, this was obviously a demon spirit!

No wonder weeping is heard here all the time, it was made by this demon spirit!

In the midst of his thoughts, he heard Miss Hannah from behind shoot an arrow, which was so fast that it was about to hit the vital point of the demon spirit, killing it with one arrow.

But after a second, the picture that should have been seen did not appear, because the monster actually teleported!

And the place where it teleported was right behind Xavier, and the demon raised the scythe, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose again, as if he thought that the swordsman in front of him would be easily defeated by it like the humans just now.

But how could Xavier be defeated so easily? He had already had a premonition, and he quickly turned around and blocked the silver sword, causing the sword and the sickle to collide with each other, and the sneak attack of the demon spirit was also defeated.

Seeing that his plot could not succeed, the demon wanted to teleport away again, looking for another opportunity to sneak attack, but Xavier seized this opportunity!

After observing just now, Xavier found that the Wisp had a delay of about a second before teleporting, and he could use this opportunity to give the Wisp a series of attacks.

Immediately, his sword dances spun one after another, and the silver light stabbed wildly on the demon spirit's cloth.

The demon spirit that was attacked one after another naturally let out a series of screams, but it did not disperse because of this, but suddenly bounced Xavier's attacks away as if it had immortality!

It turned out that the demon spirit had transformed its body into a spirit state, so Xavier's silver sword could not harm its body!

But on the other hand, as a spirit body, it can directly attack Xavier's soul, making him feel painful. At this moment, Xavier only felt as if he had been pierced through his heart by ten thousand arrows, constantly suffering unbearable.

It's even more unbearable than hitting a table in an important part!

Under the huge pain, Xavier naturally couldn't maintain a fighting posture, and saw him kneeling on the ground weakly, and the silver sword in his hand fell with a bang.

Then, seeing the demon in front of him, he raised its scythe and swung it at himself.
