Overhead is a canopy of countless thick backbone branches, and countless canopies are interspersed on top of each other, like a huge umbrella stretched out and squeezed together, only when the wind blows, will occasionally shine a ray of sunlight from the swaying branches and leaves, but it will soon disappear, and the surroundings will once again fall into a dark environment without light.

Underfoot are the dead branches and fallen leaves that have been piled up over the years, like a soft mat spread on the forest ground, but after a period of rain soaking, the fallen leaves become wet, and sometimes a slippery and splashing mud puddle will be stepped on when the feet are heavier, revealing the black and purple rotting plants in it.

However, the smell of the forest is still fresh and not too hot and humid, especially the crisp calls of unknown birds and the rhythmic "rustle" sound of the wind passing through the canopy, which can keep people happy.

The elves are like fish in water in this environment, they are walking on the branches more than ten meters high, and they don't know if they are interested because they have returned to the familiar forest, or they deliberately show the skills of the elves in front of others, anyway, they are very active, one moment they are still on the left, and the next moment they may appear on the right side of everyone, and in the end, Li Ang simply does not pay attention to their movements, anyway, as long as the two elves find an abnormality, they will definitely return to their side to warn.

Bonda was also very surprised by the elves' appearance at first, he didn't expect that there would be people who would be more adapted to such a big forest than the mountain people, because he didn't have any concept of elves, at first he thought it was a different race with whiter skin and overdeveloped ears, and knowing that Leon explained to him a little bit about the origin of the elves, it made Bonda suddenly feel a little frustrated at the same time.

Red was at the end of the line, with Caterina and Melissa in the middle, and the group had been walking north in the forest for forty or fifty minutes, but had found nothing.

Bonda led them to the place where the battle between the Blue Bird and the Night Wolves took place at the request of Leon, and along the way, as he said before, few creatures appeared, no, it should be said that at first, there were occasional forest rats, hares and other common animals, but as they got deeper and deeper, only centipedes, scorpions and other arthropods crawled around in the trunks and grass. The large forest, which was full of life, seemed a little lifeless, except for the intermittent sound of birdsong coming from nowhere.

And they didn't see any corpses of the Blue Bird tribesmen or the Night Wolves, Bonda's expression tightened, and she looked left and right as she went, looking for any traces that might be there.

Leon was behind him, and the two of them had been talking about this unusual sign a few minutes earlier, when Leon had an idea that he didn't tell Bonda because it would be difficult for the man from the mountain to accept.

He suspected that the dead corpse might be used for other purposes by these creatures from the dark realm, since there were vampires and dark fighters on the other side, it was normal to have a professional who was good at transforming undead creatures, right, but this meant that there might be undead mountain people and undead night wolves in the future...... The thought of this possibility made the young man feel a slight headache.

"How far is it?" asked Leon.

Bonda looked up and pointed ahead, "At our speed, we're still twenty or thirty minutes away." ”

This speed was actually beyond the expectations of the mountain man, and the elves had already surprised him, but since it was the elves' natural ability, it was understandable, but even the other people maintained a fairly fast travel speed in the forest full of complex terrain, and the strength of these young people made Bonda feel a little emotional.

Leon looked back and saw Caterina signaling to him, so he said, "Bonda, hurry up and speed up a little faster." ”

"Okay!" Bonda also tried to rush over, he exhaled, leaned forward and began to exert force, heading straight towards the battle area of the day.

Twenty minutes later, they stopped, and Bonda looked at the scene in front of them and whispered, "This is it." ”

You could see that there had been a fierce battle in the dense forest in front of you, and the thick trunks of the two of them were full of marks of sharp weapons, and the ground was muddy, and the bushes were trampled and muddy, but there were still no corpses in sight.

However, there are traces left by the battle all around, which is much easier, not only the mountain people can see some clues according to the traces, but elven rangers like Dan are even more masters of following the trail, Leon synthesized their judgment, and looked at a mountain peak further north, because the messy imprints all extend in this direction.

"Is that the sacred place of the mountain people?" asked Leon suddenly.

"Yes," replied Bonda, still taking chances, believing that some of the surviving tribesmen had fled towards the Holy Land, and that it would be much safer if they could join up with the other tribes.

Leon was silent for a few minutes and said, "Take us over." ”

He didn't want to come into contact with the other groups of the mountain people so early, especially when they gathered in the "holy place" in his mind, which must be the most sensitive and exclusive to outsiders, and he didn't expect to be able to convince all the mountain people with his tongue. As long as it is clear whether this qiē is made by a vampire, and the purpose of his doing so, it can be regarded as achieving the basic goal, of course, it would be great if he could keep these dark creatures forever, and he could also use this to collect fifty or sixty people from the Blue Bird Department, and then slowly communicate with Guò Bangda and other mountain people, it is simply a matter of counting in one fell swoop, why bother to go to the mountain people's holy land at this moment.

However, Bonda and Dan's discoveries make Leon change his mind.

These traces confirm that the night wolf pack finally headed towards the sacred land of the mountain people, if they are chasing the remnants of the mountain people, it is normal, but if there are other plans, it will be a bit troublesome, at least it also shows that the movement of the night wolf pack is organized and planned, not at all as blind as before, just following the nature of the beast.

No matter how brutal the beasts are, they are not terrible, but what is terrible is that they suddenly have intelligence.

"Do you really want to associate them with vampires?" Leon smacked his lips, not expecting that his hunch might be true.

So he decided to change his plan for the time being, and follow the trail of the night wolves to the mountain people's holy land, if their next step was to target the mountain people who gathered, then he had to go there as well to see if there was a chance to help these mountain people.

He did not consider himself a merciful savior, but for the sake of his own territory.

The combat effectiveness of the two or three thousand mountain people cannot be underestimated, if they suffer huge losses without defense, then there will be no force in the Wolf's Kiss Forest that can stop the night wolf pack, and once the night wolf pack or those mysterious slaughterers wipe out the entire mountain people, what next? Leon believes that these creatures will never stop at the wolf's kiss forest, so the next person to face this situation is Campbell.

Campbell's defenses were even weaker than those of the mountain people, who were almost all soldiers, and one can imagine the catastrophe that would happen to the ordinary inhabitants of those towns when the wolves finally broke out of the wolf's kiss forest and ran on Campbell's land.

Even if you add the mercenary group on Leon's side, there are less than fifty people, recruits, don't be kidding, those young men who don't lie on the ground and tremble in the face of this scene are already considered courageous.

Most of the soldiers at Fort Mark's were taken away by the commander, and the rest of the soldiers lost nearly half of them in the last battle with the natives, and the overall defense force was not even a fifth of what it was in its heyday.

It's good that they don't take the opportunity to cause trouble, and as for the support of the royal capital and the nobles of the other territories, Li Ang has no hope at all.

Therefore, since Leon has discovered this trend, he must help the mountain people reduce their losses as much as possible, and then put them on the front line against the night wolf pack. This can't be said how cruel the young lord's idea is, and the mountain people themselves are certainly not willing to give up their homeland, so they will definitely hate the night wolf pack and the mysterious slaughterer who are ravaging their homeland, and of course they want to stop this with their own hands. However, the mountain people are obviously at a disadvantage at present, lacking food and clothing, no equipment, and no strong men who can lead them against the enemy, and in this situation, they even have to pin their hopes on whether Colf, the lord of the mountain people, who has been dead for more than a hundred years, will not bless them again, and certainly will not mind holding the hand extended by Leon.

"Wait a minute!" Leon was stunned for a moment, then rejoiced, "Colf's spirit...... Statue of Colf...... Could it be that the leader of the mountain people has also become a heroic spirit?"

He was just about to wake up the spirits of Sapa and Lawrence and ask questions, when Dan suddenly fell to the ground from above, came to Leon, pointed to the west and said, "Three hundred meters away, something is coming." ”
