Seeing that Norco had decided to take an adventure and break into the secret path where there might be a status saint-level undead lord, Christine finally couldn't hold back the fear in her heart and whispered: "Brother, are you sure you want to go there? If we meet the undead lord, we are not opponents at all, it is very dangerous." ”

At this moment, Christine is no longer the guy who hides under the cloak and pretends to be terrifying with a hoarse voice, but makes a girl's voice to express her fear of the undead lord.

After all, as a soul mage, Christine knows very well how terrible the undead lord is, coupled with the undead lord's natural immunity to soul spells, if she ventures through that dark path, Christine will hardly be able to play any role, and may even become a drag on the team.

Seeing Christine's frightened look of a little girl, Noko naturally understood Christine's concern, and smiled and took off the cloak from Christine's head, revealing Kriya's delicate face in her short hemp hair.

Noko reached out and rubbed Christine's hair and said, "Okay, don't worry, my brother will protect you." ”

Hearing Norco say this, feeling Norco caressing his hair, and the familiar temperature on his palm, Christine seemed to think of many years ago.

At that time, Christine, who was still a child, was bullied by other children in the family because she had no magical talent, and it was Norco who stood up to protect herself and helped her bear a punishment from within the family.

Childhood memories came to mind, and Christine's fear of the undead lord was gradually dispelled by the long-lost warmth of Norko's palm.

Finally, Christine made up her mind, waved her fist, and said with great firmness: "Okay, in that case, then let's go and break through, if we can defeat the undead lord, maybe my soul magic will break through." ”

Seeing Christine let go of the baggage in her heart. Norco was very happy and smiled and said, "Very good, let's go now and see what is in that dark tunnel." ”

Thor and Bont looked at the Noko and the others, especially the soul mage who had been hiding under the cloak and made the two of them feel terrified, and the two little mice were immediately surprised.

However, now that Norco and others have made a decision. The two little mice didn't say much, and immediately led a few people to set off, rushing towards the entrance of the ancient secret passage in the city in the forest.

It's just that Noko and the others and the two little mice didn't know that after they left the metal pole that Lucius gave them, their whereabouts were immediately exposed, and Li He found them almost immediately, and locked a few people with his divine sense, staring at the group.

But soon, Li He guessed the group's plan. Especially when I saw the entrance to the secret passage in a deserted valley in the dense forest, which was located outside the city in the forest.

Li He almost couldn't believe it, and said to himself with a face full of incredulity: "How could it be? These little guys are so bold? Is there anything in that tunnel?"

At this time, Li Hao happened to walk into the main hall, brought Li He some food, and informed Li He of some battle reports sent back by the way.

Although Li He is the master of the forest. Relying on the divine power and divine consciousness to descend, he can almost gain insight into the forest, but doing so will also deplete Li He's divine power. In order to preserve his own strength, Li He ordered Li Hao to report to him some news of the coalition forces outside every once in a while.

Hearing Li He's self-talk, Li Hao couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "Ancestor, are you saying that someone wants to enter that long-abandoned road full of the dead?"

Hearing Li Hao's voice, Li He came back to his senses and looked at Li Hao, glanced at the things in Li Hao's hand, nodded and said, "Yes, it is that troop transport road, and now those little guys from outside are preparing to break into there." ”

"What? How do they know that secret passage and can go directly into the castle?

Seeing that Li Hao had already guessed what was going on, a satisfied smile flashed on Li He's face, but the smile was fleeting, and he nodded with a stern expression and said, "Yes, their Neiying is a group of little guys that I didn't expect, but I didn't expect that when I let that group of rat people live in the city in the forest, they raised a group of disasters." ”

Li Hao's face turned gloomy when he heard this, and he snorted coldly, and said: "It turned out to be those little mice, hmph, it seems that over the years, the ancestor has lived in a simple place, but it has made them bolder." ”

Li He seemed very calm, and said softly: "It's not that those little mice are bold, but at this time, they also want to make a life for themselves." ”

"How to make a living? I think they are killing themselves, Ancestor, do you want me to tell them about this matter in the castle? I believe they will have a way to deal with those little rats. Li Hao asked Li He very directly.

And the latter waved his hand and said: "No need, Li Mingyu left, the few little guys who stayed in the ancient castle can't deter those races in the city in the forest, now let them clean up the rat people, but they will startle the snakes, don't worry about those little mice for the time being, wait until the war in the forest is over, and then it's not too late to clean them up." ”

Hearing Li He's words, Li Hao didn't dare to have any objections, so he quickly nodded yes, and handed the meal and battle report to Li He and said, "Ancestor, this is the battle report of the past few days, you can also rest and eat something." ”

After receiving the battle report and food from Li Hao's hand, Li He unconsciously glanced at Caroline, and saw the little girl sitting cross-legged in the giant axe energy cover, taking out the air-dried dried meat from the skin bag around her waist, and chewing it with a big gulp.

Li He couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "Little girl, how much jerky do you want to put in that skin bag? Seeing that you have been eating for so many days, you still haven't finished eating?"

"Well, old fellow, don't think about it, these jerky are idiosyncratic, and Lucius knew that there would be danger in the forest, so we brought plenty of jerky and water. ”

Hearing Caroline say this, Li He couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that your companion, really a careful little guy, will prepare so much food and water for you, and hide it in such an inconspicuous place, even if he encounters danger, he will not be taken away lightly if he is caught." ”

Hearing Li He's praise for Lucius, Caroline chewed the jerky in her mouth and swallowed it, and then said: "Lucius is indeed very thoughtful, but he didn't expect that there would be a god in the forest. ”

"Huh. God, that companion of yours, who has a resting place, how can he take the god in his eyes? But if he wants to defeat me and seal me up in a resting place, it may not be as simple as he thinks. ”

Caroline listened to Li He's words, took out a water bag from the skin pouch around her waist, drank two sips of water, and asked suspiciously, "Why are you so sure that Lucius will seal you in a resting place?"

In fact, Li Hao was also very curious about this, and heard Caroline ask Li He directly. Li Hao couldn't help but stop and listen, wanting to hear what kind of answer Li He would give.

It's a pity that to Li Hao and Caroline's disappointment, Li He didn't answer Caroline's question, just smiled and said, "There are some things that you can't touch yet, although you have barely stepped into the Holy Order, but you are not qualified to contact the law, so you are not qualified to know why?"

Listened to Li He's answer. Caroline's brow furrowed, and she vaguely felt as if there was some secret hidden in the resting place, a secret that Lucius had never spoken.

Li Hao saw that Li He didn't mean to answer. He did not linger in the main hall, but walked out of the main hall and walked towards his own quarters in the castle.

Li Hao had just walked out of the corridor outside the main hall, at the corner of the corridor. Suddenly a figure rushed out and stopped him roughly.

was stopped by someone, Li Hao was shocked at first. He hurriedly took two steps back and looked intently at the person who was blocking the way.

When he saw clearly the person who stopped him, the fear in Li Hao's heart suddenly disappeared, and he said to the roaderman with a cold face: "What are you doing?

"Hehe, what's the matter? Don't you even call your aunt? How did your parents educate you?"

Hearing the other party unceremoniously accuse his dead parents, Li Hao's face showed anger, but watching the other party approaching him step by step, thinking that the other party was too much stronger than his own strength, Li Hao could only give in in the end: "Ao, Aunt Audrey, may I ask what is the matter with you?"

Audrey Lee, the second ruler of the Li family in the Scarlet Castle, before Li Mingyu left, handed over the affairs of the entire city in the forest to the four rulers of the Li family, including Audrey Lee.

Among them, Audrey Lee was in charge of the internal affairs of the Scarlet Castle, and she saw that Li Hao could come and go at will every day, and the hall where Li He lived in the depths of the castle naturally felt a little unhappy in her heart.

Although Audrey Lee's bloodline is not pure, she has the bloodline of the Li family after all, and Li Hao is just a bloodline of the Li family.

In Audrey Li's opinion, Li Hao was just lucky, and his talent was slightly better than Li He's favorite, and she didn't take Li Hao in her eyes at all, seeing Li Hao going in and out of Li He's residence hall every day, she was always very dissatisfied with this.

Stopping Li Hao today, Audrey Li wanted to take the opportunity to knock Li Hao, so that Li Hao could understand that the gap between him and his lineage would suppress Li Hao's consistent arrogance.

Therefore, when Audrey Lee saw that she was politely asking what was going on with her, she hid her face and said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing, but seeing you go in and out of the main hall where the ancestor lives every day, it must be extraordinary to be able to get the life of the old ancestor, so my aunt has a task I want to give you." ”

"Have a task for me?" This time it was Li Hao's turn to be surprised.

In fact, although Li Hao is the heir of Li He, his status in the Li family is not high, and he has even been suppressed by the Li family's descendants for a long time.

However, since Li Hao entered the Scarlet Castle, he has almost never received any tasks, and the family's steward who is responsible for issuing tasks is unwilling to give Li Hao tasks at all, which also makes Li Hao the most impoverished of the many children of the Li family.

However, today, Audrey Lee actually wanted to give herself a task, which couldn't help but make Li Hao feel very surprised, and even a little unbelievable, and at the same time, a trace of vigilance rose in his heart.

Seeing the vigilance on Li Hao's face, Audrey Lee always kept a smile and said: "Don't be so nervous, in fact, the task is very simple, that is, the people patrolling outside the city will find some strange traces, so I hope you can take someone to check and check, and you also know that there is a shortage of manpower in the city now." ”

Hearing Audrey Li say this, Li Hao's vigilance in his heart relaxed a lot, and after thinking about it carefully, he thought that Li He had just said that outsiders had come to the city in the forest, and those outsiders had gone to the secret road to transport troops.

Li Hao felt that this might be an opportunity, if he could design to seize those outsiders, then he would definitely be able to make a great contribution, and when the time came, with Li He's support, he would no longer have to look at the faces of Audrey Li and others, and he would be able to get a place in the Li family.

Thinking of this, Li Hao's heart suddenly surged, he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, thought about it calmly, and then said to Audrey Li Mian: "Okay, since Aunt Audrey said it, I'll go for it." (To be continued......)
