Chapter 417: A Distant Gaze

Li Ang and his party approached the foot of the mountain.

The valley of which the unknown old man spoke was at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by two peaks of similar height, covered with tall trees, which were lush at a glance, but could not see what was going on inside.

Normally, in this case, it is best for the Assassin to be the first to investigate, and the rest of the people to follow behind, but at this moment, Leon is in the lead, with a perception far beyond that of the Assassin.

There was no objection to the young man's arrangement, and at this time Melissa retreated to the rear, alert for emergencies that might come from other directions.

As the sun dimmed, the group walked through the woods outside the valley, silent except for the cry of unknown creatures and the sound of footsteps on fallen leaves.

Suddenly, Leon's footsteps paused, he made a gesture backwards, and then went around in another direction to continue walking forward - just now a red sign appeared on the ground not far in front of him, which of course was the effect of the "scrutiny" skill, warning him that it was a trap, and that it was quite dangerous.

Although he dodged the trap, Leon's expression was heavy, because the appearance of the trap indicated that the group of people who were about to face had a considerable hostility towards the outside world, and this judgment was due to the fact that the young man had already learned the strength of the other party from Fiona's mouth, and if he simply wanted to guard against foreign beasts, there was no need to set such a level of trap.

Then the traps appeared one after another, and Leon indicated the location of the traps, and carefully led his companions to Guò, but their speed slowed down at the same time.

More than twenty minutes later. When they finally entered the valley, there were far fewer traps. Li Ang was about to speed up but stopped again.

A figure appeared in his perception.

The position was fifty meters in front of him, although the person's appearance and clothing were not as clear as if they were looking at them directly. But judging by his actions, he should be specifically in charge of guarding here.

Bypass, sneak attack, or come forward to negotiate?

The three options swirled in Leon's mind for a moment, and he turned around and whispered, "There is a warning point ahead, let's go around!"

The intentions of the other party are unknown, and it can even be said that hostility is looming, and the negotiation may be self-defeating, but it will let the other party know that they are coming, and a sneak attack is not feasible, although the person in charge of the guard does not know whether it is a priest or a priest, but at least it is above the third order. Even if Sapa came out, it would not be possible to do it quietly.

So bypassing is currently the most time-saving option, and it's also the best option.

Led by Leon, the group quietly bypassed from the right, but after a few minutes, the group stopped again.

There was another warning point in front of him, and Leon frowned and called up the map, observing the terrain in the valley, if it was unexpected, there should be three people at the entrance in a triangle guarding against the intrusion of outsiders.

The young man decided to take the risk, and he found the location of two warning points, one in front and one in the back, on the map. Then choose to go through the middle.

This move was obviously done correctly, and the route they traveled was not noticed by the person in charge of guarding, and Red couldn't help but make a gesture of admiration to Leon - after this time, the trust of his companions in Leon's decision was raised even more.

Of course. Without the existence of the battlefield map, few people can achieve such accurate path planning.

And Leon has actually been very nervous all the time, and he has only breathed a sigh of relief until now. I couldn't help but smile on my face.

But the smile didn't last long, ten minutes later. When the young man faced the next warning point, he slowly stopped.

Because Leon had already walked a whole circle along the neighborhood. At the front were three people standing side by side thirty or forty meters apart, and there was no room for them to pass through.

"What to do?" Caterina gave her inquiring look.

Leon narrowed his eyes and stared straight ahead, and a minute passed quietly, and he said slowly in a very low voice, "Prepare for battle." ”

The young man had no patience to continue playing the game of stealth with these people, and the tighter the opponent's defense, the more problematic their purpose became, and he was ready to harden it for Sophia's safety.

"Since you dare to kidnap my companions in my territory without any scruples, then no matter who you are, no matter what kind of relationship you have with Sophia, Lao Tzu wants to give you an indelible memory!"

The decision was made, but the young man became expressionless, and he made a few gestures to let Red follow him, responsible for first breaking through the opponent's defense, and then taking advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness to attack directly, regardless of life or death.

Melissa lurks near Red, and her mission is to guard the support of the next two guard points, and at the same time, Erin needs to pass through directly after the battle, and Melissa and Red are also responsible for her safety at that time.

Leon himself, with the most protective Catalina in the team, will rush straight ahead as fast as possible after the battle, trying to see Sofia at the first time - the young man is also very confident in his own judgment, because Fiona once said that there are only eight people on the other side, and since there are already six people left on the outside to defend, it proves that they should be very close to their core position.

Next, the five men moved forward more and more carefully, and the closer they were, the better it was for Red's attack, so they were ready to get into the position where the enemy was reacting before launching it in one fell swoop.

At this time, the last rays of sunlight have disappeared from the ground, and the surrounding darkness is dark, and the bright and striking colors in the sky are beginning to gradually appear, which can be said to be the darkest moment of the day.

Just act.

However, just as the five-person team was tiptoeing towards the warning point of an unknown opponent, none of them knew that there was an extremely tiny black dot in the air high up at this time, hovering up and down.

If someone can reach a position hundreds of meters high, they can see that this black dot is actually a fist-sized ball, covered with tentacles more than a finger long, and at the same time, there are a pair of fleshy wings on both sides, which are swinging rapidly, although the wings are not the size of a human palm, but the wind generated is enough to levitate the body in mid-air.

It was clearly a creature, and the weirdest part was directly below it, which was exactly like an enlarged version of the eyeball, with eyelids, eyeballs, and pupils, all of which were still turning back and forth, as if they were looking at something.

......

At the same time, far to the south, at the top of a certain peak in the Pale Mountains, there was a creature that resembled an eyeball, which was perched next to a tall figure, its eyes facing outward, and a few meters in front of it there was a strange picture, which was the valley where Leon was located, and it was exactly what happened in the valley.

"It's almost too late...... said a man with cracks all over his face, his voice was flat, but his tone was so sharp that the whole sentence seemed unusually hurried.

"Your Excellency, do you really want to leave the fate of this one to that human?" said another seductive woman, her voice sweet, her long hair waving back and forth as if it were alive.

"Don't question Your Excellency's decision!" another woman's voice rang out.

This woman is thin and dark-skinned, and the overall feeling is diametrically opposed to the woman just now, but the pair of long, pointed ears on either side of her head are quite eye-catching.

The tall figure turned, it was the Monarch of Bones Morgen himself, and he said slowly: "It doesn't matter, I accept reasonable doubts, and I can say whatever I think." ”

As soon as Morgan said this, the three "people" beside him stopped talking and fell silent at the same time.

After a while, another person who had not spoken spoke spoke up, "Your Excellency the Lord of Bones, I am sorry for Fiona's unauthorized actions, if she ......"

"Don't worry, Bennell," Morgan interrupted the vampire, "I'd love to see this generation have their own perceptions, and to be honest, there have been a lot of newcomers among us over the years, and in the words of His Excellency the Dark Side of the Moon, they are like new stars shining on the future of the Dark Realm, but there are very few geniuses like Fiona, and if she is too restrained, it will probably have a detrimental effect on her growth, so let her go, even if there are any consequences, it can be bearable for me." ”

"Thank you for the compliment, Fiona would be so happy to know that you have such great expectations for her!"

Morgan smiled, the laughter seemed to resonate directly from the chest, and it seemed rather dull, "Happy? Not necessarily, with Fiona's character, if she heard me, I think she would be more likely to poke out a bigger basket." ”

Bennell chuckled dryly, and he glanced sideways at the other three companions, and saw that they were all expressionless, unable to see any reaction to Morgan's high evaluation.

"Well, since you don't have any doubts, then read on," Morgan said again, "This young man Leon is definitely a new star in the human kingdom, and I am full of expectations for him......"

"I'm looking forward to ......" The Lord of Bones repeated the last few words again, his gaze returned to the "projection" in front of him, and in that dense forest, Li Ang and his party became red figures.

At this time, it happened that Li Ang led the team to move forward more than ten meters, and the person in charge of the guard on the opposite side seemed to have some reaction and began to set his eyes on the jungle in front of him.

Leon motioned for everyone to stop, then turned his head and lip-tucked at Red, "It should be okay, let's start." (To be continued......)
