There was silence in the dense forest, even the sound of insects was imperceptible, only the sound of gurgling water, along the way, the mutant beasts almost disappeared without a trace, and occasionally saw one or two, all of them were docile breeds, and there was no atmosphere in the middle of the wilderness at all, which made Zhou Qi and Xu Yao more vigilant.

A shallow stream runs through the dense forest, the water is clear, and Zhou Qi simply judged with the help of the remaining equipment in his hand that it is indeed good water without problems. He threw Xu Yao in, rushed in directly, and motioned for Aponia to jump in. The three of them washed away the dust and possible smells, and set up a simple bonfire next to the stream, after all, Xu Yao and Zhou Qi were soaked, and they couldn't help but deal with the cold wind in late autumn. Aponia steamed his clothes with holy light the moment he came out of the water, and Xu Yao and Zhou Qi, who were quite envious of their practical abilities.

The three of them didn't speak, they were all racing against time to recover their energy, tonight was eventful, there was no time to rest, even Xu Yao, who had rested the longest, was exhausted at the moment, let alone Zhou Qi. The continuous ability to use it and stay up late had already made his eyes slightly darkened, but it was just by relying on willpower and cold stream water to support it, and he knew that he had lost his way just now in a panic.

Zhou Qi did not let his guard down, the woodland should theoretically be full of all kinds of mutant beast races, it was not normal to be so clean. As if to confirm his conjecture, in a trance, he saw a figure flickering again.

"Who! Come out. Xu Yao let out a violent sound, and he had already pulled out a long-handled broadsword in his hand, and he also saw the figure that flashed just now.

The girl carried a heavy iron box and walked out of the depths of the forest, the breeze gently brushing the ends of her hair, and her long black hair fluttered gently in the air, as soft and smooth as silk. Her eyes were as bright as autumn water, but there was a layer of hazy mist, and there was a pure and warm light in her eyes.

"Aponia, long time no see." She greeted the nun like an old friend she hadn't seen in a long time.

There was a rare hint of human weakness on Aponia's cold face, "You're okay." She was half angry, half glad to blame the girl in front of her.

The girl smiled, her supple black hair swaying in the night breeze, "What can I do?" She spoke softly, and her gentle gaze turned to Xu Yao and Zhou Qi, "Don't you want to introduce me?" ”

"Hello, hello, this must be Miss Qiuxiang, the daughter of the finance minister's family, next week, it's not an important name, you can forget it after listening to it, but please be sure to go back with us." Zhou Qi looked at the beauty in front of him with bright eyes, well, it is indeed beautiful, few people can refuse a woman who can shine with five hundred gold coins on her body.

"Xu Yao." Xu Yao touched his shiny bald head, trying to let the bonfire dry his sleeves behind his back.

Qiu Xiang nodded politely, thinking that this should be the helper that Aponia found, and without waiting for Aponia to speak, she asked with concern: "How did you break into such a deep place, let me tell you, this place is not safe!" ”

Apoña blinked in confusion, "I feel okay, I always feel that there are not as many mutant beasts nearby as I encountered during the day." ”

"Hey, then you have to thank me, there was a big guy chasing me all the way, and the mutant beasts below B-level in the neighborhood were basically scared away. I just gave it a dreadout, and it hasn't woken up yet, just enough for us to slip away. Qiu Xiang's proud speech made Zhou Qi have some bad premonitions.

"Let me take the liberty of asking, is the medicine you use a secret medicine bought from the old cat?" Zhou Qi's tone was hurried, as if he had thought of something.

Qiu Xiang nodded and replied with a smile, "Yes, although his family's medicine is a little expensive, the effect is really great, and the red-maned tiger is fierce and abnormal, and it only lasted five minutes." ”

Zhou Qi's face turned pale, he was too familiar with that medicine, and it had a strong anesthetic effect on A-level and below mutant beasts, but this kind of slumber was very slight, and once a mutant beast of the same B-level or above appeared nearby, he would wake up directly.

The cold sweat on Xu Yao's face also appeared instantly, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked uncertainly: "The red-maned tiger you are talking about, is it the red-maned tiger of the A-rank?" ”

"That's right, you're such a strange person, children who have never been out of the city know the red-maned tiger, let me tell you that when I was a child, my mother used to scare me into sleeping ......" Qiu Xiang was still smiling, but the next moment she heard Aponia's calm, as if she had just come out of the ice cellar and took it out and applied some dry ice.

"We're chasing wolves behind us."

The corners of Qiu Xiang's mouth still maintained an arc, but there was not much smile, "Wolf? What kind of wolf? Moonwalking wolf or graymaned werewolf? She said that there were only two single B-grade or higher wolves, and she seemed to realize something.

Zhou Qi shook his head, "It's neither, it's the howling wind wolf." ”

"Hey, what should I be, a C-class whistling wolf, wait..... How many? Qiu Xiang's smile disappeared again after a brief recovery, and she thought of the worst-case scenario.

"A large group with the Wolf King, of course!" Xu Yao wiped the cold sweat on his head, but still maintained a constipation-like expression.

Qiu Xiang stopped smiling, she pulled out the hilt of the sword at her waist, and in an instant, there seemed to be a faint steam flowing from the blade that seemed not to be dangerous, and she turned around, as if she was going deep into the dense forest.

Apoña grabbed her at the right time, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Naturally, kill the red-maned tiger before it wakes up, otherwise wait for death?" Qiu Xiang didn't lose her mind, she just didn't want to sit still and wait for death.

"Although your plasma cutting blade is very fierce, but you didn't do it before, it already means that you are not sure, it's okay, the wolves will arrive in five minutes, we still have some time." Zhou Qi had already forced himself to calm down, "Everyone, now there are wolves and tigers in front of you, and it's not the time to hide them. ”

As he spoke, he first explained his abilities, "I can use super speed and brute force, the former is faster than the Howling Wind Wolf King, slower than the Red-Maned Tiger, and the latter is about the same as a wild cow, you can estimate for yourself, and the duration of each ability is half an hour each." ”

The other three looked at him in amazement, and Apoña was the first to speak, My abilities are these four, "Enchantment, Shuttle, Light Bomb and Healing." ”

Qiu Xiang hesitated for a moment, put the plasma blade on the ground, and took out a mini pocket firearm, "That's all I have left for my equipment, a plasma blade, a laser gun, they can barely break through the fur of the red-maned tiger, and they can't hurt it deeply." But it should be enough to deal with the wolf king. ”

"I don't have any of your things, but you can stun me." Xu Yao sat on the ground in a rotten manner, completely ignoring Zhou Qi's expression of caring stagnation, "Don't look at me, I'm serious, after I fainted, the thief Jill is lucky, I told you, I even encountered an S-level mutant beast two years ago, and there was no shortage of meat when I fainted and woke up, now, small scenes, small scenes." ”

He said vigorously, and the three of Zhou Qi also believed a little bit, and after a three-minute discussion, they gradually had a bold idea.

"Good brother, you go to sleep first, don't worry, I will definitely carry you out." Zhou Qi walked to Xu Yao's side and talked trash talk, Xu Yao gave him a blank look, and relaxed his muscles as if he was fated.

With a heavy palm, Xu Yao's eyes went black and he fainted.

Zhou Qi put him on his shoulder again and waved it vigorously, but unfortunately, he was top-heavy and really didn't use it well.

The howling wolf roared in the distance, and the three of Zhou Qi glanced at each other and walked towards the outer and inner sides of the dense forest respectively.

The hunt is about to begin.
