Chapter 413: Besieged
Outside the city of Orut is the entrance to the Hilda Forest, and the three of Lista follow the location and route marked on the map of West Berlin. The moment the three of them entered the Hilda Forest, the murmur in their ears disappeared instantly, replaced by the distant sound of birds and the faint sound of the wind, as well as the rustling of footsteps under their feet.
The leaves of the trees in Hilda's Forest were different from those found elsewhere, each the size of Karui's fist. The trio walked through the Hilda Forest, where sunlight could not penetrate the dense foliage, and only a few rays of sunlight could reach the ground from a place where there were fewer trees.
Every time the three of them walked, they could see a yellow paint on a special tree, which was a mark left by the soldiers of Orut City in the forest, after all, this Hilda Forest was too big, and it was easy to get lost in this forest without leaving a mark, although for Kalu, who was born in the forest, it was not difficult to discern the direction.
Judging by the distance marked on the map, it didn't take long for the three of them to walk to see some ruins crawling with plants and rattans, and that's where they were going.
"Halma? Demon magician? Cave Giants? Karui, the type of this demon race also has the word giant, you say, does this have anything to do with your giant race? ”
While thinking about their mission, Lista joked with Kalu, who shook his head and responded to Lista with a smile: "We are a race of human giants that follow the balance, and we are the only existence in this world, so the demon race or other races will definitely have nothing to do with our giant race." ”
Fiona was holding a soft towel and kept wiping the Pallas Shield on her hand, this Pallas Shield Fiona had already used it skillfully, plus this shield had saved many lives for herself and Lista, and for Fiona, this shield was already her own family.
"Lista, help me change a towel."
Lista took the soft towel from Fiona's hand, then took a different towel from her bag and handed it to Fiona.
These two towels are similar in appearance, but the two towels have very different functions, the former is slightly coarser to clean the dust on the surface of the weapon, while the latter is an ultra-fine towel for the dead corner of the weapon.
"By the way, Lista brothers and Fiona, I heard that Miss Lin is going to run a shop in the base area, do you know what it is?"
Karui asked the other two as he examined his fist and pillar, while Lista shook his head, watching Lista shake his head, Fiona tapped Lista lightly on the head with her hand.
"You said that you, as an elder brother, don't even know the name of your sister's shop."
"Am I not keeping her private, what do you say? You know? ”
"Well, last time I heard Lin say it, it seems to be a place called 'Loulan Xiaozhu', I don't know what it does."
Whisper!
Just as the three of them were talking and moving forward, the touch under the feet of the three suddenly became different, and when the three of them looked down, they found that there were no thick fallen leaves under their feet, as if they had been deliberately cleaned up by someone, and all the fallen leaves were swept aside, revealing the black and red soil, and on the soil, countless shadow grasses were neatly and regularly planted on the ground.
Obviously, this is a trace of the demons, and it is impossible for humans to specialize in cultivating this plant, but, this is a very common plant, why should the demons specialize in planting it, isn't this thing everywhere in their demon area?
At this time, Lista also remembered what happened in the Ice Valley before, when he was fighting against Imek, he also found that the demons were planting Shadow Grass, and suddenly a bad premonition surged into the hearts of the three of them.
Fiona pulled out the thorn and gently picked out a shadow grass from the ground with the tip of her sword, and found that these shadow grasses grew much better than ordinary shadow grasses, but the rhizomes were three times that of ordinary shadow grass, and the demonic energy emitted from the leaves on them dripped on the ground like ink.
Lista also squatted down, but when he touched his hand to the Shadow Grass, some demonic energy quietly burrowed into Lista's transformation ring, this scene happened to be seen by Lista, and only Lista saw it, and Lista hurriedly covered his ring with his hand.
Although Lista was keeping his composure, his heart was already turbulent, and this transformation ring could absorb demonic energy? Or is it that the transformation of the Dark Knight is to turn himself into a monster. Before, when Lista transformed into a dark knight, he felt that the black qi on his body was too similar to the demonic energy, and now it seems that the matter of whether it is demonic energy has been acquiesced, and even the purest demonic energy on the plant can be inhaled by the ring, if it is seen by the people of the divine court, it will definitely be said that Lista is a spy from the demon race.
Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on the back of Lista's neck, if that was the case, then ...... He is really using the transformation ring to turn himself into a monster, do the people of the Silent Knights know that this is demonic energy, then do they know that they are using demonic energy to protect their goddess, so it would be more appropriate for the Silent Knights of the Dark Clan to protect the demon god.
"Brother Lista, Brother Fiona, stand up, we are surrounded!"
Karui's tone became tense, and Lista and Fiona instantly drew their weapons and looked around back-to-back, only to see that there was not a single enemy around, but they could see into the depths of the forest.
"What's the matter, Karui, could it be that I heard it wrong?"
Just as Lista and Fiona let their guard down and were about to lay down their weapons, Karui's tone changed from nervous to stern: "I say, don't lay down your weapons, always be ready to fight, there are too many coming!" ”
Hearing the change in Kalu's tone, Fiona and Lista didn't dare to put down their weapons, after all, Karui was not as unreliable as Hawke in battle, Fiona looked around and asked suspiciously, "But...... Karui, there's nothing around here? ”
"No, Fiona, close your eyes and feel it carefully." Lista nudged Fiona with her back, whispering in a low voice.
Fiona took a deep breath according to what Lista said, closed her eyes, and carefully felt the surrounding environment, hearing, smell, and touch were amplified at this moment, and the small breeze before seemed to have some melodies in Fiona's ears at this time, and in the next second, the murderous aura from all directions came to her face!
