Chapter XXV. Cooperation

"Huh."

Lilith touched her forehead and slowly opened her eyes, feeling the bones in her body almost falling apart.

"Aren't we dead?"

"Thanks to me, not yet," Li Oran said seriously.

Lilith was speechless for a while, this answer is really, how to say it? It's hard to put into words.

She thrust the long sword in her hand back into the scabbard behind her back, and looked to the left with the sword, and suddenly her body trembled as if it had been struck by lightning.

It turned out that the situation was critical when they fell just now, and the hands of the two were scratching everywhere, trying to fix their bodies, and in this inadvertently, they were actually held together.

Lilith immediately let go of her left hand, and a blush crept up on her face.

"Uh......"

Li Oran obviously found out and coughed embarrassedly.

"Let's get out first, it's not safe here."

The two walked along the passage for nearly another 100 meters before finally coming to the exit.

Outside the exit was a meandering stream, and there were many magical animals drinking water on the side of the bubbling stream, and they were not afraid to see the two of them.

At this time, Li Oran spread out his left hand, and a clump of yellow-brown hair caught his eye.

"What is this?"

"Alector's hair from that crazy woman!"

He reacted immediately, his skills did hit the witch, but he didn't expect that he took out her hair, it was really disgusting enough.

"What's wrong?" Lilith asked puzzled when she saw Li may stop in place.

"Oh, nothing, something comes to mind."

He quietly hid the clump of hair, and a crazy thought came to his mind, ingrained and lingering.

"Thank you for saving me this time, I will return this favor."

Lilith's teeth twitched, and there was a stubbornness in her tone.

"Hmm...... I do have a couple of things that I need your help with. Li Oran said unceremoniously.

"But don't worry, I promise that if you succeed, you will also reap great benefits." He also seemed to realize that he was speaking too directly, and immediately changed his words.

Lilith nodded, looked back, and said with some loss:

"It's a pity that we still couldn't save Holland, otherwise we would have more strength."

After listening to this, Li Oran retorted:

"That guy is a time bomb, you know Brainless, and that novice, if he hadn't fallen in the back this time, we could have completed the mission unscathed."

"I know you want to unite your teammates and not want to give up on everybody, but it's impossible."

Li Oran's voice gradually became louder, and he kept expressing his thoughts in a critical tone:

"This is not reality, your Virgin's thoughts will only kill you, and they will call you stupid, do you see someone coming back to save you? They all escaped, are they worth your sacrifice? ”

Lilith lowered her head and said nothing, and it took a while to raise her head and reveal a smile that could melt the ice in people's hearts:

"Who said no one saved me, didn't you go to save me?"

"I ...... I ......" Li Oran was speechless for a moment, didn't know how to speak, and finally shouted irritably:

"Anyway, I just invited you to work together, and I won't care about them."

Lilith fell silent again, but finally she agreed, "Listen to you, we'll cooperate." ”

Li Oran nodded with satisfaction, "You have finally opened up." ”

In fact, Li Oran didn't know that Lilith was born in a military family, and what her family instilled in her since she was a child was the spirit of protecting the people and sacrificing herself.

It's not that she doesn't understand in her heart that some sacrifices are meaningless, it's just that she still wants to hold on to her beliefs.

This time she met Li Oran, which made her mind change, that is, sacrifice must be sacrificed for those who are worthy, and those flies and dogs should let them stay away.

Thinking of this, she felt refreshed, and the original grievances were quietly gone.

The two walked along the creek in the forbidden forest, and Li Oran adjusted the direction several times according to his memory and the direction of the sun.

"You should be able to go back the way you came by walking here, but the footprints here are positive and backward, and it seems that those people have passed." He speculated as he looked at the plants on the ground that had been trampled into the dirt, and the rows of stray footprints.

So, the two of them ran along the trail.

About half an hour later, a loud beastly roar startled a flock of birds in the treetops.

When Li Oran heard his footsteps, he wondered in his heart: "It seems to be the voice of a troll." ”

"Is it ......?"

He quickened his speed, like an agile ape walking flat through the twists and turns of the woods, and the sound in his ears became clearer and clearer.

The sound of cries, the sound of swords clashing, the trembling of the ground, and the screams of trolls.

The two of them jumped up the tall tree, and from a distance, there were about five people, who were fighting fiercely with the three trolls.

And at this time, the hint of space also arrives:

【Troll】

[Rank]: The first rank

[Grade]: LV5

[Damage]: 80

[Health]: 350

[Defense Value]: 40

"Lore, something is wrong, they can't seem to deal with it." Lilith turned her face around and said flatly.

Li Oran glanced at her deeply, and was surprised in his heart, "This woman actually calmed down this time, it's not simple, could it be that I woke up after saying a few words?" ”

"There are a total of three trolls, the level of LV5, there is no big risk, it is a handful to be able to help, it may not be necessary to use them in the next mission." Li Oran said lightly.

Lilith smiled secretly, the sword in her hand could no longer be suppressed, and she flew to the top of a troll, and shouted:

"[Hissing Wind]"

The sword in her hand came out of her hand and flew away, groaning in the air like the wind roaring, and the spinning sword was like a drill, breaking a large hole in the troll's chest.

All I could hear was the troll wailing to the sky, clutching its bleeding wounds and falling to its knees.

And the flying sword that hit with that blow seemed to have life, and it turned back the way it came, and flew back into Lilith's hand like a boomerang.

A cold light flashed in Lilith's eyes, she jumped in three steps, jumped high, and slashed down with a sword in the air, and a sword light visible to the naked eye roared away.

As she passed through the troll, a cloud of blood exploded around her neck, and the troll pressed the crack with both hands, but to no avail.

A few seconds later, with a thud, it fell to the ground, losing its breath of life.

"Good swordsmanship!"

Li may praise sincerely.

He didn't dare to lag behind, took out the longbow in the space, his mind sank into his eyes, his eyes were like torches, and the arrow in his hand shot out fiercely, and an arrow shot at the foot of a troll that was chasing.

The troll was in pain, and before it had time to stop, it fell directly to the ground.

"Hit, run what!"

Li Oran looked at his teammates who were only trying to escape, and shouted angrily.

Everyone turned around and found that there was an opportunity, and they all went back to beat the water dogs.

That way, only one last troll remains!

Li Oran and Lilith looked at each other and smiled, and then the two of them looked solemn, and at the same time, the sword walked with them, one left and one right outflanked the troll.

The troll swung the trunk of the tree in his hand, each blow with a force of hundreds of kilograms, and the ground of the hammer shook incessantly.

Like a dragonfly, Lilith dodged every attack, her sword turning into several sword shadows, leaving deep scars on the troll.

Li Oran's swordsmanship was average, but he also had a first glimpse of the way, and the Demon Shadow Sword released the skill Cross Demon Flame, which hit the hand of the troll holding the weapon, and instantly unloaded its weapon.

Then he rolled to the troll's back, stabbed several times in one go, and soon the scarred troll fell.

"Whew...... This guy is not strong, but the skin is thick enough. Li may gasp.

The giant monster on the other side that fell to the ground with an injured foot was also easily solved by 5 people, and a crisis was solved in this way.

Hanks hurriedly ran over with a few people and asked with concern:

"Thank goodness you've finally escaped, and we're so worried."

Li Oran didn't appreciate it at all, and said lightly: "You still have to worry about yourself." ”

Hanks touched his hair embarrassedly, and the rookie female contractor in the group ran up to Lilith and began to shush and ask for warmth.

She had seen Lilith's strength with her own eyes just now, and in order to survive, she felt that it was necessary to have a good relationship.

Lilith was obviously not used to such a compliment, and her face was a little helpless.

"Let's go," Li Oran didn't talk nonsense, and walked directly to the front, leading a few people to leave in a hurry.

Hanks and the others obediently followed behind, and they had already realized that Lore in front of them could escape from that cave, and his strength was definitely not weak, as well as that Lilith.

So they didn't dare to say anything, for fear of arousing the disgust of the two, after all, they had directly abandoned their teammates before.

Li Oran didn't think so much at this time, he just sighed that the three trolls didn't even come out of a box just now, and there was no one who exploded.

Under the escort of the two masters, the seven people left the Forbidden Forest smoothly.

"Oops, I can't do it anymore, I need to rest for a while, I really can't walk."

The novice man sat on the ground and refused to move, crying about his almost crippled legs.

Hanks, who was on the side, couldn't hold back any longer, he grabbed the man's collar and scolded angrily:

"You still have a face to rest, we haven't settled accounts with you yet! You thought that was the end of the situation in that spider cave! You killed Holland, you know? ”

Hanks had the bruises on his forehead exposed, his hands were getting harder and harder, he wanted to strangle the garbage in front of him, but he couldn't, he hatefully threw the novice man aside and walked back alone.

Li Oran watched all this silently, and did not stop it, he had long been full of disgust for this sissy novice man.

"Heh, out of sight is pure, I'll go first."

The others didn't stop, except for the man, cowering in the wind.
