A few wind foxes slipped quickly, ran along the ridge of the mountain for a while, and then crossed the ridge and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Sabrina and Moira originally planned to outflank them from the other side, but the Wind Fox didn't run in their direction, and seeing that the Wind Fox had run away, Sabrina and Moira walked out from behind the boulder.

The six companions talked about the shortcomings of this hunt for wind foxes as they walked towards the top of the mountain.

Several of their horses were still tied to the camp, and they couldn't leave for too long, otherwise they would be the most troublesome if they were found by other predators.

In order to keep her body well hydrated, Miss Tiffany drenched herself every two hours.

Moira stopped suddenly, she moved her pointed ears, and Sabrina noticed that there was some confusion on her face, so she asked her, "What's the matter, Moira?" ”

"I hear an elf talking over there." Moira said nervously, pointing in the direction the wind was blowing.

It was her first time in an adventure group, and she was afraid that she would do something wrong.

Woods and Roy glanced at each other, and the two of them walked in the front, not hearing the elves talking.

Roy stepped forward, but was grabbed by Woods' hand beside him.

Woods felt in the direction Moira was pointing.

Woods pressed his waist very low, and his whole body was hiding in the barren grass, like a cheetah crouching in the grass.

Standing among the wild grass, I could only see the wild grass swaying gently......

Woods felt ahead to reconnoitre, and quickly retreated from the grass, and when he withdrew from the grass, his face was a little ugly.

"Woods, what did you find up front?" Roy asked.

"There's a group of suspiciously looking half-blood elves at the edge of the woods ahead, with a few elven children, who don't look like the inhabitants of Fortress Town." Woods said.

"Take me to see it." Roy decided to go to the front and check it out for himself.

Woods led Roy forward, and the grass had already been trodden out of a path by Woods.

The barren meadow was a little far away, and the two of them didn't stop until they got closer to the woods, and Woods turned to Roy with a light motion.

Then the two of them lay down in the grass, Woods carefully pushed the grass, through the gap in the grass, Roy saw a group of half-blood elves lighting a fire at the edge of the woods, sure enough, in addition to a few adults, there were also a few half-blood elf children in the team, they sat quietly under the big tree, and there was no smile on their faces.

It seemed that the youngest elf girl still had tears in the corners of her eyes......

They didn't have ropes tied to them, and the half-blood elves were gentle towards the children.

Judging from the outfits of this group of half-blood elves, these half-blood elves should all be elven hunters, and the leather armor on their bodies should be sewn by themselves, with wide stitches and rough workmanship, swords and short bows on their backs, a string of messy pockets hanging from their waists, and even two elven hunters carrying animal traps on their backs.

Roy watched for a moment, then retreated with Woods.

"Could it be that you have met a slave trader?" Woods frowned and asked Roy in a low voice.

Roy was also a little unsure, originally listening to Woods's description, he thought that those half-blood elves were probably a group of slave traders, but after he went over to check it, he didn't think it looked like it.

"It's hard to say, those elf kids don't seem to be coerced." Roy said.

Woods hesitated for a moment and asked Roy, "So what are we going to do now?" ”

All the members of the party gathered, and everyone stared at Roy.

"Skip the trip to the Pagisto Plateau for the time being, let's follow them first and see what they want to do." Roy immediately said: "If they are a group of slave traders, we will find a way to rescue those children, and if we can confirm that they are not slave traders, then it will not be too late for us to go to the Pajisto Plateau......"

There were only six people in the group, so naturally no one objected to Roy's decision.

In particular, Woods and Miss Tiffany hated the slave traders.

"Okay, then it's decided."

As the leader of the party, he decided to be supported by all the members, which gave Roy a lot of confidence.

He took the initiative to stand up and said to everyone: "Then I will go and keep an eye on them first, and you go back to the camp to repair it, and then we may have to take turns to keep an eye on them until we find out their intentions." ”

Claire put the skinning knife back into its scabbard and said to Roy:

"Let me and Woods go first! Woods and I learned about the Scouting of the Jungle. ”

Roy glanced at Woods.

"It just so happens that I'm familiar with the situation over there, and Claire and I will go over and monitor them first, and we'll change shifts tomorrow morning." Woods readily agreed.

This guy has always been hardworking and very easy-going, but there is one thing that can't touch his bottom line, he is the kind of half-blood elf with a sense of justice all over his body.

Like now...... If Roy hadn't said that there were some suspicions in the half-blood elves, according to Woods' thoughts, he would have rushed up and lifted their camp a long time ago......

Miss Tiffany couldn't help but tell Claire: "Claire, don't be careless this time, if you really meet a slave trader and you inadvertently reveal your whereabouts, those slave traders will be ruthless......"

Miss Tiffany had been locked up on the Seawolf for almost twenty days, and there were far more Naga Sea Clan dead than in the bilge.

Claire sorted out the weapons and equipment on her body, stood beside Woods and said:

"I'll be careful."

……

Roy returned to the makeshift camp with several other members of the party, but Kaka was waiting in the camp.

Roy was startled, thinking that something was wrong, and Kaka ran to Roy for help.

"Kaka, why are you here?" Roy asked, somewhat nervously.

Kaka stood up from the root of the tree, wiped his hands, and smirked at Roy:

"Little Eugene and I came to you after we carried the supplies to the mountains, and Roy I'm going to go with you to the Pagisto Plateau."

Roy, of course, welcomes this.

"Ah, do you want to join our party?" Roy was ready to make sure again, because Kaka's addition would most likely mean that the secret of the Elven Beast Tamer hidden in the southern part of the Griffon Barrier Mountain Range could no longer be hidden.

In fact, it has long been no secret to the military of the Silver Pegasus Legion.

It's just that ordinary elves don't know much about these things......

"yes, I don't know...... Can? Kaka asked a little shyly.

Roy stretched out his hand to Kaka and said:

"Welcome to our adventure group, but I can't help you register as a member of the Adventurer's Guild for the time being, I can only wait until this adventure is over, if you have this idea, I will take you to join the Adventurer's Guild."

Kaka nodded stupidly.

He was already happy to be able to join Roy's adventure party.

Roy then introduces Kaka to the rest of the party, Sabrina, Moira, and Miss Tiffany.

Hearing Roy say that Kaka is an animal trainer, Miss Tiffany throws a curious look at Kaka.

Roy said to Kaka, "But we can't go directly to the Pagisto Plateau for the time being, because we have an incident right now......"

With that, Roy told Kaka about the group of half-blood elves they had found in the neighborhood.

After hearing this, Kaka also frowned again and again.

"Do you suspect they're a bunch of slave traders?" Kaka asked Roy in a whisper.

Roy shook his head slightly, he also felt that this matter was a little strange, so he said, "Now it's just a suspicion, Woods and Claire are still watching them over there." ”

"I'm better at monitoring and tracking this kind of thing, so you might as well leave it to me."

Kaka slapped his chest properly.

It was certainly best to be able to spy on this group of half-blood elves from above, Roy immediately nodded in agreement.

Kaka asked where the half-blood elves were, then walked over to the glade and whistled loudly at the sky.

Not long after, a griffon swooped down directly from the clouds, it looked like a falling meteorite, and when it was close to the ground, its wings suddenly opened, and its whole body brought a powerful gust of air, and the griffin was also firmly suspended in mid-air.

Kaka hurriedly beckoned the griffin to fly low, then flexibly jumped onto the griffin's back, grabbed a rein that extended from the griffin's head, and as the griffin spread its wings, Kaka rode on the griffin's body and suddenly soared into the sky......

……

After it was completely dark, Kaka, who was hiding in the sky to monitor the ground, rode back to camp on a griffin.

The griffons could not stay in the camp, because the ordinary horses in the camp immediately became weak on all four legs as soon as they saw the griffin, and even fell on the grass......

Roy was in the camp and asked the returning Kaka, "How's it going?" Do you think they were slave traders? ”

"It doesn't look like it, I think they're very attentive ......to the half-blood elf kids," Kaka admitted.

There was no campfire at night, and Roy sat in front of the tent and chatted with Kaka in the dark......

"I also feel this way, tomorrow morning Kaka, you will continue to monitor in the air, you don't need to fly around in the air all the time, just fly up and take a look at it regularly." Roy commanded Kaka.

In the evening, Kaka also had an improvised tent in the camp, next to Roy's.

He would have liked to have a good chat with Roy, but Roy slept so early that he could even hear the snoring in Roy's tent......

This night, Sabrina and Moira were in charge of the night.

Early the next morning, Roy took Miss Tiffany to spy on the half-blood elves and replaced Woods and Claire.

Kaka also flew into the sky again on a griffin......

To Roy's surprise, this group of half-blood elves actually headed in the direction of Barrier Town, and those half-blood elf children followed the team and walked silently.

Due to their lack of tracking skills, Roy and Miss Tiffany are afraid to follow too closely for fear of being discovered by each other......

Fortunately, Kaka is watching from the air, and even if you lose it, you can find the right direction right away.

In the afternoon, Roy and Miss Tiffany simply retreated from the front, and with Kaka staring in the air anyway, the party only had to stay far behind and follow.

……

"Did you say they were going to Barrier Town?"

Roy took out a map and traced the route of the half-blood elf team on the map, and sure enough, it was heading in the direction of Barrier Town.

Claire and Woods sat on the sidelines, agreeing with Roy.

"I guess so, maybe they'll settle in Barrier Town." Woods said.

Sabrina and Miss Tiffany disagreed, believing that they would never go to Barrier Town.

The members of the party hid in the shade of a wooded tree, and each of them rode a horse, so they didn't have to worry about the half-blood elves going far and not being able to catch up......

At this time, Woods rode a griffon down from a high altitude.

He didn't let the griffin come closer, but ran over by himself and said to everyone, "...... Just over there, another group of half-blood elves came running, all of them riding argali, about seven elves, who seemed to be chasing them. ”

“…… Pagisto Argali, you mean the elves came down from the Pagisto Plateau? Roy asked.

"It's pretty much the elves on the plateau." Kaka nodded.

"There is also a group of half-blood elves living on the Pagisto Plateau?" Roy couldn't help but ask again.

"Of course, there are no large gathering places, but there are some scattered small villages." Kaka replied, his eyes filled with the question, 'How could you not know?'

"I thought that on the Partington plane, the elves only occupied the area around the city of Paddestow, but now it seems that not only the south of the Griffon Barrier Mountains is occupied by you, but even the Pasto Plateau is inhabited by half-blood elves......" Roy felt as if he had discovered a new continent.

"That's it!" Kaka said in a tone of course.

Claire took the opportunity to say: "What do you want to do when you say those elves chased them out of the plateau?" ”

"I think they're chasing the elves in front of them......" Woods guessed.

"Kaka, you work harder, go and keep an eye on the two teams to see what they want to do!" Roy said to Kaka.

"Okay, I'm going to keep an eye on them......"

Kaka readily agreed, and after a short rest, he flew high again on his griffon.

It was already evening when I received the news from Kaka again, and this time the news that Kaka delivered back was that after the half-blood elves riding highland argali, they caught up, and not long ago, there was a fight with the half-blood elf team in front.

The half-blood elves who caught up behind were all very well-armed and well-armed, and their methods were also a little ruthless, and they cut down the two adult half-blood elves on the other side in the first encounter......

Fortunately, under the cover of the woodland, the half-blood elves managed to escape with their children.

"Which side are we going to help?" Claire asked Roy with some excitement.
