Dan just left.

She moves through the forest with a swift and agile gait that is breathtakingly fast.

In just a few breaths, they disappeared without a trace under the cover of the snow-white forest, leaving Lindsey and Torch in place, facing the corpses in front of them and the cold earth beneath their feet.

"Really...... Just gone? ”

Lindsay was a little incredulous.

The first thing that came to his mind was, was Dan's departure a test for this winter hunting trip?

Otherwise it doesn't make sense, in the course of a hunting training.

She, the old hunter who led the team, left alone, leaving only two poor children in place.

Even though it's close to town.

Even if they're all Awakened.

But it's just a beginner who has just awakened this year and hasn't mastered any skills.

Maybe Lindsay is different, but Dan doesn't know that Lindsay has quietly possessed skills?

Lindsay had mixed feelings and was completely incomprehensible to the actions of the huntress.

On this day, he knew that the other party's personality was indeed a little lively and jumpy, but he was by no means the kind of irresponsible guy.

At this time, Lindsay felt her clothes being ripped off.

He turned his head to look, and Torch reached out and grabbed the hem of his clothes, his expression very nervous:

"Brother Lindsay?"

"Mommy, Mommy, she's ......"

"Don't worry. Dan must have a reason to leave at this time, we just have to wait here. ”

Lindsay said a few words of comfort, but could still tell that the child was very nervous.

In order not to get too emotional, Lindsay began to talk to him. The two chatted about each other's daily lives, Dan's personality and habits, and some small stories about the hunting team, which calmed Torch's mood.

He even told Lindsay that the happiest thing about him was when he was 7 years old, when his father and mother hunted a big wild boar in the woods, and many people came to congratulate him, and the atmosphere was very cheerful.

Lindsay asked casually:

"By the way, I didn't see your father last night?"

"Father, he ......" Torch's eyes showed a hint of depression, but he quickly replied, "Father, he also wanted to break through the obstacles of Montenegro, so he went to a far away place. ”

“……”

Lindsay knew in an instant that she had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized.

"Sorry, I don't know ......"

Ju shook his head, but his eyes revealed a longing and yearning:

"It's okay, I'm proud of him."

"My dad told me a lot of stories, he and his mother went to a lot of worlds, and saw a lot of scenery that ordinary people didn't see. He also told me that it's not okay to be stuck on a distant frontier. ”

The two continued to talk, and Lindsey also became more aware of the situation.

Dan, a huntress from a faraway frontier and a former young adventurer at Ford Nix, and her husband heard about the hidden frontiers and the story of the great explorer Poirot Weir's frontiers here.

They couldn't resist their excitement and resolutely embarked on an adventure.

That turned out to be exactly 10 years ago.

As a result, they became the last of those to enter the hidden frontier.

Originally, Dan's husband learned a skill called [Star], which is also what Ju is learning now, and Dan is ready to join the ranks of [Explorers].

However, because the hidden frontier suddenly became independent, all kinds of materials were suddenly in short supply.

Dan, who became a mother, changed his initial decision and made himself a hunter......

In the quiet woods, Lindsay and Torch talked quietly.

Their relationship also grew closer with the conversation.

It was also through this exchange that Lindsay understood the reason for the actions of the huntress.

Dan took care of the children and stayed in the border town to become a hunter.

The husband didn't want his children to be trapped in this remote corner for the rest of his life, so he set out to try to break through Montenegro. It's a pity that like everyone else, there has been no news so far, and life and death are uncertain.

Today I was in the forest again, and I saw the townspeople who died tragically in the forest because of this reason.

The responsibility to protect the town, and the overlapping feelings in the heart.

How could they let go of the demonic beasts that committed murder here?

"Ahh

Lindsay sighed and began to dig through the snow next to the corpse.

"This gentleman's body will definitely be transported back to the town in the future, let's clean it up first."

Torch nodded, and the two acted together, quickly digging the body out of the snow and leaning against the birch tree behind it.

"Now, we just have to wait for Dan to come back......"

Lindsey was going to call the torch to rest together.

But at this moment, he heard a sparse sound in the surrounding woods, and the sound was getting closer and closer, and the speed was not slow.

There could be danger – and this thing is approaching them!

Because there was a movement coming from the direction of the town, there was no chance to run directly into the town!

"What's that?"

Lindsay's eyes froze, and she looked around.

The swaying of the shrubs in the distance, the white of the forest, the difference could only be discerned by the exposed trunks, and there was hardly any clue to be seen.

But the voice was getting quicker and closer!

Lindsay realized something was wrong.

But before he could think about how he could save his life, his body took the first step to act. He shoved the still-standing torch between the corpse and the birch tree, and quickly cut a few handfuls of snow to cover it.

"Torch, you just hide behind, don't move, understand!"

Torch was still at a loss.

But seeing Lindsay's serious demeanor, he was still obedient and nodded:

"I see."

Settling the torch, Lindsay took out the short bow from his back and touched the knife at his waist to make sure it could be pulled out at any moment.

These are all things prepared by the huntress when they set off.

The knives were short skinning knives with only five arrows in the bow, and they weren't even thought to be useful, but now they really came in handy.

Whoosh –

Suddenly, an ice pick shot out of the bushes in the distance and shot straight at Lindsay.

Lindsey dodged away.

At the same time, I also know that I have met an old friend - an ice badger again!

It's just that unlike when he first came to the hidden frontier, this time there was not just one, but three surrounded from three directions!

"Whew-"

Lindsay took a deep breath and looked at her.

He instantly figured out what he was aiming for.

First, attract the attention of these ice badgers and don't let them notice the torch hiding behind the corpse.

Second, stay alive.

Whether you insist until Dan returns to the rescue, or find a way to kill these monsters.

He is only allowed to succeed, not to fail!

In the next second, Lindsay took a bow and shot an arrow.

The first arrow immediately shot at the first ice badger to leap out of the bushes.

The arrow hits the ground directly at the Ice Badger's feet, bouncing twice before falling to the ground.

The arrow missed without incident.

After last night's assault study, archery is now only at the level of (beginners). It's good enough to get close to the goal, but it's impossible to hit anything.

But the arrow also served Lindsay's purpose.

The shooting of the bow and arrow immediately stimulated the beast's bestiality, and the other two ice badgers on the left and right also jumped out at this moment, and immediately chased after Lindsay.

Very good.

These brainless beasts really didn't notice the torch under the corpse.

Seeing this, Lindsay did not hesitate, turned around and ran, rushing straight in the direction of the frozen river!
