The sense of belonging and honor for the Wattle Kingdom and the Fifth Chasseur Regiment was not enough to support Xiuge to volunteer for such a move.

But as one of the people in this world who is most closely associated with ancient creatures and gods, Shug thinks he has the power to solve this matter.

Especially when the hidden dangers are already foreseen, the necessity is further enhanced.

From the bottom of his heart, Shuge didn't want to see anything more like the change in Salem City happen.

And if the monster that mutated from the Descendants of the Abyss further endangered and damaged the alchemists he was protecting, and even Meyer himself, it would be even worse, Xiuge couldn't accept the people he valued and identified with more as the rations of that kind of existence.

Alfred and Krautz discussed this highly feasible set of proposals for a while before coming to a conclusion.

They agreed, but they wouldn't allow Hug to act alone, so a strike team was immediately dispatched, and there were more of them than before, and Hug even saw several members of the Ernst family who had deliberately revealed their identities to him.

Faced with the mission they were about to perform, these soldiers did not panic.

As members of the hunting regiment, they are both calm and angry when faced with a beast that dares to attack and kill their comrades in turn.

They also have absolute trust in the judgment of their commanders and mages who accompany them.

Unlike the determination shown by Alfred and the others, Verin was very dissatisfied with the decision made by Xiuge, of course, she did not make any expression, but threw her magic book into Xiuge's arms with a black face.

Needless to say, I also know that the amount and type of magic engraved in it are definitely much more professional than my own magic book.

The preparation was quickly over.

Like the mages who followed the assault team, Shug changed into a full set of equipment, including that special silver armor for the Spell Strangler.

It's just that in order to ensure that his movements are not restricted, Xiuge did not wear them completely, but only a part of them.

After making complete preparations, the team immediately broke away from the large group of the hunting regiment and headed in the direction where the assault team had been attacked.

After moving away from the large group, the surroundings became quieter and the temperature seemed to be much lower, and in order to ensure that the soldiers could use their guns normally, Xiuge specially attached a magical ritual to their weapons that could block out the sound, and as they advanced, they soon found the traces left by the soldiers who had been attacked before.

They saw bloodstains, and the weapons left behind by the dead.

The soldiers recovered the lost guns, and then looked around vigilantly, and under the advance warning of Xiuge, some of the soldiers of the hunting regiment deliberately focused their attention on the high points of the woods, after all, both the Teresa hunters and the previous assault team were attacked in this direction.

"There is only blood, no corpses...... The blood trail was finally cut off, and something dragged their bodies away, and to the trees."

….

An agile mountain elf soldier deftly jumped from a tree branch, and he pointed in the northeast direction, "There are quite a few branches that have been broken, it looks like that thing is going in this direction, shall we chase after it?"

"No, just do what you planned, it will come to us on its own."

The mountain elf was obviously a little surprised to hear Shuge's words, because if a beast had enough intelligence, it would surely be able to learn how to recognize which targets were traps and which were real prey......

However, the young military mage from the aristocratic background in front of him was extremely sure of this, so the elves could only regard this performance as the pride and confidence peculiar to the casters.

So, everyone began to follow the predetermined plan, slowly moving northeast along the tracks in the woodland.

It's like a companion among all the scouting teams

Like a military mage, Hug stood in the center of the line, holding a magic book in one hand and a flickering magic pendulum in the other, but in reality, Shug's attention was completely off these things.

At this moment, his magical perception had been fully opened, and when the power in Xiuge's body that had been transformed by the "Walking Forest" successfully operated, the trees near Xiuge seemed to be reinvigorated, and the feeling of almost merging into this forest became even stronger, each tree seemed to become an extension of Xiuge's senses, and even the vibrations caused by snowflakes falling and hitting the trunk of the trees could be clearly transmitted.

The feeling of "everything under control" was intoxicating, and when Hug thought of Theseus's description of the "Walking Forest", he had even more expectations for the growth of this power.

"If I could really take an entire forest under my control......

Shug shook his head slightly, ending his brief reverie and returning his attention to the task at hand.

At this point, everything is ready.

So Xiuge's eyes narrowed slightly, and the deep mist of the messenger in the mirror emerged from the depths of his eyes, and two Callon touches flashed quickly from his feet, both of which spread their power and aura at the same time.

Through his previous experience in the refugee camp in Brownhill Town, Xiuge was already almost certain that the desire for strength growth was the most basic instinct of the Descendants of the Abyss, so he believed that as long as he released some power of the same origin as the Ancient Creation of the Descendants of the Abyss, he would definitely be able to attract their attention!

The team slowly advanced.

It seemed as if they had come to track down their companions because they had been attacked, and at Shuge's behest, the sharp-eyed and nimble mountain elf soldiers would report to him as soon as they found any new signs, which made him seem more like the center of the group.

After about ten minutes of travel, a low roar suddenly came from the depths of the metal disc.

The hounds from the Abyss Court had already smelled danger at this time.

"Stop!"

….

Shug jerked his hand up, and as he gave the order, his gaze swept to the height of the trees in front of him.

As soon as everyone stopped, the woods became extremely silent, and everyone held their breath to watch their direction, and the hunters could even hear their own heartbeats and breathing.

"Crunch...... Crunch ......"

At this point, Shug caught the slightest tremor in his magical perception associated with the woods, so faint and inconspicuous that Shug almost mistook it for the natural sound of a tree branch in the cold winter.

So Xiuge immediately mobilized his magic power further, trying to "catch" the source of that strange tremor directly, but before he could make a move, the tremor suddenly became clear, obviously, something was approaching in the direction of the team!

At this time, even if he didn't use magic to perceive, Xiuge could detect the abnormal movement in the trees in front of him, and the trees were constantly shaking violently due to the touch of external forces, and judging from the magnitude of this shaking, the size and strength of the thing were unusual.

"Prepare ......"

Shug whispered a warning, but before he could say the second half of his sentence, a strong wave of crisis set off in his mental world, and at the same time, the movement in the woods became more obvious—the invisible hunter no longer concealed his whereabouts, and almost in the blink of an eye, it had swept over countless trees and swooped in the direction of the patrol.

The astonishing sense of crisis made Xiuge's scalp feel a little tight, but he had already planned for a possible attack, so the moment the monster attacked, a magic page had already flown out of his hand, and the magic lines engraved on it flashed at high speed.

The hunters in the team had pulled the trigger instinctively and instinctively.

With the aid of the magic ritual, the bullet silently left the muzzle of the revolver, heading

Flying out of the air with nothing, some of the bullets clearly hit something, and under the impact of the bullets, a large translucent shadow appeared from the air, and its target was none other than Xiuge below!

The pages of the magic book exploded in the cold wind, and a cloud of magic smoke immediately enveloped Xiuge's figure and its surroundings, but the smoke obviously could not stop the monster's attack, and under the horrified gaze of the soldiers, the barely revealing beast stabbed its two huge and sharp limbs into the depths of the magic smoke, and its strength was so amazing that it directly pierced through the snow-covered ground, making a piercing sound!

This deadly attack didn't hit Xiuge, and in the next moment, his figure had already rolled out of the smoke, and several black magical tentacles appeared from his side, and stabbed hard in the direction of the monster, but I saw that the huge shadow turned quickly, and these black tentacles were actually cut off on the spot by other invisible limbs!

The new revolver caused the soldiers to immediately launch follow-up shots, and this time, more bullets hit the target, and the monster's form was completely freed from its transparent concealment.

….

And when the hunters present witnessed the true image of this monster with their own eyes, no matter how tenacious their wills were, they inevitably fell into a momentary sluggishness.

The people who live in the Van En have long been accustomed to the various images of magical creatures, and some of them have ugly or hideous appearances, but as long as they are known enough, they will not feel so frightened when they meet again.

However, the existence in front of him directly subverted the conventional perception of magical creatures and beasts among the soldiers present.

It seemed to be a spider, the size of a normal steam vehicle, but on closer inspection, it had many characteristics that a normal walking spider would never have.

Its body was black, with an unsavory sheen in the light of day, as if it were covered with a crust of oil, but beneath this translucent black crust there was a great deal of writhing and strange colors, which looked like internal organs and blood flowing.

On the surface of these oil crusts, there are many green eyes, which are irregularly distributed, and there is a disgusting cold light flashing in them, as if everyone around them has been recorded on their own recipes.

The body structure of this giant spider is equally abnormal.

Its grotesque body was covered with a number of completely asymmetrical and extremely exaggerated sharp limbs, as if a mad artist had nailed a bunch of narrow knives to an ugly sculpture, and even its back and back had similar arthropods.

Xiuge's dodge and counterattack directly attracted the attention of this mutant giant spider, its limbs were forced, and immediately began to approach quickly in the direction of Xiuge, because of the special structure of the body, its crawling and moving forward did not conform to the activity laws of ordinary animals at all, the pace was extremely disordered, but it was extremely fast, and the two arthropods in front of the body immediately popped out quickly after a short contraction, stabbing towards the direction of Xiuge.

As a spellcaster, Shug showed an astonishing action that the soldiers of the Fifth Chasseur Regiment had never seen before, as if he didn't feel fear at all, he jumped towards the snow next to him, and while staying away from the magic smoke, he also narrowly avoided the two deadly sharp limbs, and at the same time, he cast a simple protective magic, and two translucent magical shields were immediately erected in front of him.

The soldiers had recovered from their fear of the monster and immediately gritted their teeth and continued to shoot, some of the experienced and responsive veterans had even quickly adjusted the nest of their revolver rifles and began to attack the terrifying twisted monster with powerful crystallized bullets.

The crystallized bullets showed their power the moment they hit, they successfully pierced the black oil shell of the giant spider, and the bullets that burrowed into its body immediately triggered a small explosion of magical power, and in a muffled sound, disgusting black pus gushed out!

Sensing the threat, the spider immediately turned around

Seeing that it was about to attack the soldiers who were shooting, Xiuge, who was dodging before, immediately stopped and began to cast a spell, but at this moment, the spider suddenly made a strange turn, and the sharp limbs that grew on its back stabbed out quickly at abnormal angles and postures, only to hear two crisp sounds, and the magic barrier erected in front of Xiuge broke in response.

Under the horrified, angry, and desperate gazes of the soldiers, the limb easily pierced through Xiuge's body.

For some reason, the demon-strangling silver armor he wore on his body was as thin and brittle as paper, and it didn't play a protective role at all......
