Outside the Witch's Forest.

Following the floating light floating and winding in front of them, Qi Lin and Melina rode through the forest on horseback.

This floating light was summoned by Melina through a necklace after entering the forest, and so far, it seems to have served as a proof of identity.

Under this floating light, they didn't even see the ordinary beasts in the forest all the way over.

Melina said that this was a "contract" between the Witch Society and the forest, and under the terms of the contract, no powerful creature with a certain amount of intelligence in the forest would embarrass the members of the Witch Society.

"The progress is much faster than expected, and the time is a little more than expected."

Melina and Qi Lin side by side, and said softly: "The Witch Club is also the purpose of my trip with Lancelot and Gawain, after arriving at the Witch Club, I will stay here to concentrate on cultivation, with the aim of being promoted to an official witch and reaching the two-star level." ”

Lancelot was silent, but Gawain next to him smiled and said, "The two of us, as the bodyguards of the "Substitute", came here all the way thanks to Mr. Qi Lian, and arrived here without danger. ”

Qi Lin shook his head: "Even if I wasn't here, you would have found other masters of the Pioneer Society to accompany me, and in general, I am very grateful to you for finding me this path." ”

Melina lowered her head: "I don't know if the witch will be able to deal with Mr. Qi Lian's curse, so I can only say give it a try." ”

And while they were walking, two gray pigeons had been not far away, and they had been walking between the trees like the other birds in the forest, and had not been lost.

Under the control of the pigeon whisperers of the Holy See, a total of three pigeons continued to follow Qi Lian's people, maintaining a cycle of two pigeons hanging and the third pigeon returning to inform their whereabouts.

Ten kilometers behind, Bishop Charles and a whole group of knights had also entered the Witch's Forest at this moment, and the accompanying pigeon whisperers showed them the way.

If they had picked up their speed now, they would have been able to catch up with Qi Lin and the others soon, but they weren't in a hurry.

According to Bishop Charlie, it is rare to meet the real witch trail that has returned to the Witch's Forest, and the longer you follow it before you are discovered, the better.

The goal is to try to discover the true stronghold of the Witch Society

***

As twilight fell, a bonfire burned in the clearing under a few large trees.

Qi Lin and several people sat around the tree, eating the bacon and water they carried.

Qi Lin glanced back at the depths of the dense forest and asked Melina, "What birds are there in the capital of the Witch's Forest?" ”

"There seem to be a lot of birds, but I don't have any knowledge of animals, and I can't even name those birds." Melina tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said.

"Are there any pigeons?" Qi Lin smiled.

Melina shook her head: "I still know pigeons, and I have never seen them in this forest. ”

"Have you ever heard that there are any forces that can manipulate pigeons and the like?" Qi Lin continued to ask.

Melina reacted quickly, she immediately understood Qi Lian's meaning, her face changed, and she whispered: "The pigeon whisperer of the Holy See can control the pigeon to track and monitor. ”

Qi Lin listened and lowered his voice: "I saw a few pigeons, which have been appearing since Lancelot and Gawain joined us. ”

Qi Lian's eyes were terrifying, and he had already noticed that certain pigeons had appeared one after another near them.

Lancelot and Gawain also looked at each other, and Gawain asked, "So what to do now?" That's the power of the Holy See, can't it be like Frye? ”

"Let's get rid of the pigeons first." Qi Lin thought for a moment and took out two flying knives.

In the next second, he shook his hands, and the light of the flying knife flew out like lightning.

With two snorts, the two pigeons hiding in the bushes fell in response.

Ten kilometers away, the pigeon whisperer, who was sitting next to Bishop Charlie, covered his forehead, let out a muffled snort, and said with an ugly face: "Two pigeons are dead, they have found them!" ”

Through a unique secret method, he has a secret spiritual connection with a specially bred pigeon, and now that the pigeon has been killed, his spirit is not very good for a while.

Bishop Charles immediately stood up and quickly said: "The witch's side is cunning, and has discovered our tracking, and everyone immediately mounted their horses to chase the enemy!" ”

For a while, the sound of horses' hooves sounded one after another, and in the night, countless birds flew from the dense forest.

The team of Guardian Knights of the Holy See quickly found the traces left by Qi Lin and his party just now.

It was a bonfire that had been urgently extinguished.

A knight stepped forward to carefully observe the marks of the horse's hooves on the ground, and then pointed in a certain direction: "They are going that way." ”

The captain of the knights was about to give the order to set off immediately.

Bishop Charles did not move, his face was calm, and he said: "The direction in which the horse walks is not necessarily the direction in which the man goes. ”

He moved his nose, pointed in the other direction, and said, "I'm going to chase this side alone, and I'll lead my men to chase the horse's hoof." ”

The captain of the knights nodded, and immediately followed the bishop's wishes to lead the team to chase out.

Bishop Charles, who stayed where he was, sneered softly: "I can smell this unpleasant smell of "magic" at once."

In the next second, translucent armor appeared on his body.

Although the shape of the armor was thin and not solid, this bishop named Charlie was actually a top master who had already entered the fourth order!

He didn't ride a horse, but just followed the direction he perceived, and with a slight touch of his feet, the whole person suddenly disappeared in place.

In the dense forest, following the light that symbolizes the contract ahead, four people are galloping on two horses.

Qi Lin and Melina finally rode together.

Melina's particularly petite body compared to Qi Lone, as if she shrunk into Qi Lone's arms under the rapid gallop of the horse, her face was slightly red, as if in order to divert her shyness, she took the initiative to say: "Mr. Qi Lone, although the horses are separated to disturb the enemy's sight, but it is not ruled out that the other party has a master who can catch up, when the time comes."

Qi Lin interrupted what she said: "When the time comes, you and Lancelot will go first, and then move the rescue soldiers to me after you arrive at the Witch Society, with your current strength, staying will be in the way." ”

Melina was slightly stunned, wanting to say something, but finally nodded slightly.

What Qi Lin said is indeed the truth.

She took out the necklace from her bosom that had previously released the contract magic and handed it to Qi Lian: "Although you can't use this necklace, it is also a locator itself, if we are separated, it will be easier for the witch to find you." ”

Qi Lin took the necklace and put it away, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, you don't necessarily need to disperse, if the opponent's strength is only an ordinary level within the third order, then I can clean it up on the spot." ”

Melina nodded: "Under normal circumstances, this is indeed the case, the leader of the ordinary sect guard army of the Holy Sect will generally not exceed the third order. ”

As he spoke, Qi Lian's face changed slightly.

His ears twitched slightly, and he could already hear an unusual sound coming from a few kilometers behind him.

It was the screeching sound of air being pushed and compressed at high speed.

A master is chasing after him.

He lowered his head and asked Melina, "Is there anyone in the Holy Court who can accurately trace the traces of your witch, and someone has caught up?" ”

Melina frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly her face changed: "Could it be that the other party has a high-ranking person at the bishop level?" ”

She immediately put away the contract magic that had been working in front of her, and said with some anxiety: "A master of the fourth order bishop level of the Holy Church can distinguish the traces of the transcendent factor that has been commanded by magic, and then rely on these magic traces to track down the witch. ”

At the critical moment, Qi Lian's decision was very fast, and he shouted to Lancelot and Gawain, who were riding a horse next to him: "The enemy is catching up, you two protect Melina and go first, and I will stay to find an opportunity to interfere with the opponent's tracking." ”

With that, Qi Lin lightly pressed the saddle and fell from behind Melina to the ground.

The two knights are not indecisive people, not to mention that their first priority is to protect Melina, so naturally they will not refuse Qi Lian's suggestion.

On the contrary, Melina wanted to say something, but when she looked back and saw Qi Lian's firm expression, she knew that her opinion was useless, so she could only raise her hand and point in one direction and say loudly: "Mr. Qi Lian!" Walk in this direction for about 400 kilometers until you reach a special clearing full of flowers, and wait there, and someone from the Witch Society will come out to meet you! ”

She then said, "Good luck, we'll see you later!" ”

Qi Lin smiled, put his index and middle fingers together, nodded his forehead and waved at her, making a gesture of goodbye.

***

After Qi Lin dismounted, he didn't stop where he was, he moved forward at a normal walking pace, thinking about the possibility of facing a fourth-order master in his mind.

The conclusion was that as long as the enemy was not a super fourth-order like Yu Chengen or Gu Chong'an, but a weaker fourth-order like that of Yu Cheng'en or Gu Chong'an, it shouldn't be a problem for him to protect himself.

But if you want to kill the opponent back, I'm afraid it will be a lot of trouble.

Moreover, in order to improve the grasp, it is necessary to increase the strength of another wave.

It just so happened that the many second-order demons he had killed yesterday had given him more than five hundred points of transcendence.

The next moment, he used up his newfound five hundred transcendences.

[Transcendence: 1880→1380]

[Breath of the Sun (Constant Medium・Marnds) (500/500)→ Breath of the Sun: Extreme (Unupliftable)]

【You have obtained the skill branch - Transparent World】

Rumble!

As the level of the Breath of the Sun was raised to the limit by him, there seemed to be some fog in his mind that was suddenly removed.

At this moment, the whole world seemed to become transparent in his mind.

Of course, he understands that things don't really become transparent.

But at this moment, he seemed to see through the essence and principle of everything in this world.

From the external texture of the tree, he seemed to be able to see the inner composition of the tree.

From the flying posture of the bird, his vision seems to pass through the feathers and skin of the bird, and see through the musculoskeletal movement form in it.

Even, he raised his hands and clenched his fists slightly.

At this moment, the muscle state released by the contraction under the skin of the arm was vividly presented in his eyes.

The whole world became incomparably transparent in his perception.

With this skill, I'm afraid I can really compete with that fourth-order.

Qi Lin couldn't help but smile.
