"Okay, okay, got it." Sadie stuck out her tongue and went into the woods to the side.

Asuna sighed and pulled out a map to look at.

The Lim Mountains are so large that there are only four of them, and it is almost impossible to search them all.

If you want to find relevant clues quickly, you need some methods.

Asuna looked at the map in contemplation, drawing a few circles with a quill.

One circle is the usual patrol area of the missing patrol team, and the other circles are the locations that Asuna calculated.

These locations are an approximate location for Asuna to determine when she disappeared based on the patrol time of the mountain patrol team.

The patrol teams of the border army have a fixed time to enter the mountain, and according to the comparison of the time of entering the mountain and the approximate time of disappearance, and then looking at the patrol route, you can get several approximate possible missing locations.

The location of the disappearance is the place where the team is in danger, and the probability of searching for clues in such a place is obviously much higher.

There are several such locations, and Asuna plans to go to these locations first, and then go to other places to look for clues.

The pace of the forest was slow, and it was not until dusk and sunset that Asuna and her sisters stepped into the interior of the Lim Mountains.

Asuna continued to look at the map, counting the date.

If you want to search all these locations, it will take about seven or eight days.

It's slow, but there's no way.

In the vast mountains, it is impossible to search in a carpet.

There is not enough manpower and not enough time.

After sunset.

The four of Asuna found a sheltered place and planned to rest here tonight.

You can't run around in the mountains at night, it's very dangerous.

A bonfire was lit, and Asuna and the sorcerer sat around it.

Sadie handles a freshly hit rabbit with a dagger on the sidelines, and the warrior sits on the periphery, watching the movement outside.

She said as she handled the rabbits, "Asuna, we didn't find anything after a day of walking, and we don't know where the gang went. ”

"I don't know, I'll have to see if I can find some traces tomorrow."

Asuna didn't find any remnants of magical energy today, I don't know if it has dissipated for too long, or if she hasn't found it for a while.

"The others don't seem to have found anything, and we don't know if we'll find them." Sadie shook her head and said.

They met some other adventurers during the day, and there was no conflict.

Everyone came here for the same purpose, which was to find clues to the missing squad.

No one will do anything about it until there are no interests to fight for.

With the configuration of Asuna's team, ordinary adventurers can't afford to mess with it.

Half an hour later, several people were roasting rabbits around the fire.

Asuna stood up suddenly, looking into the distance.

"Asuna, what's wrong?" Sadie asked.

The faces of these people were serious, Asuna was so nervous, something must have happened.

Asuna's perception has always been very keen, and her perception of danger is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Now Asuna's expression was actually with a hint of horror, and she had to send chills down the backs of several people.

To be able to show Asuna such an expression means that something very serious must have happened.

Asuna took a deep breath, calmed her mood, and adjusted her breathing: "Over there, there are very strong magic fluctuations, a strong magic breath. ”

She pointed to the dark mountains in the distance, and Sadie had no sense at all.

"Give up this mission and go now!" Asuna made a decisive decision.

"Huh? Abandon? Sadie was a little confused.

This task is highly rewarding, and it is really unwilling to give up like this.

And even if you have to go, it's not too much to walk now, and it's dangerous to rush at night.

Asuna explained, "The magical aura over there is very likely to be a mid-level spellcaster, or even a high-level spellcaster, and it is not something that our ability can mix at all. ”

"The danger of that missing squad is probably beyond anyone's imagination. We must leave as soon as possible, even if we encounter monsters on the way back, it is better than encountering high-level spellcasters. ”

As soon as she said this, several others quickly realized the seriousness of the problem.

High-level spellcasters?

In the eyes of Sadie, Asuna was already a very powerful spellcaster.

But a spellcaster like her is only at the caster apprentice level.

None of them had ever seen a few official spellcasters, let alone high-level spellcasters.

That's legend.

Now that this kind of existence is in the mountains over there, Sadie and the others thought of this, and their hearts rose to their throats, and they wanted to teleport away from the Lim Mountains immediately.

A few people didn't wait for the rabbit to be cooked, they directly extinguished the bonfire, packed up their things and rushed back immediately.

Over the years, Asuna's judgment has been accurate.

Sadie and the others don't have too many doubts about Asuna's judgment, and they always trust and carry it out.

A few people began to walk back in the dark, a few points faster than when they came during the day.

When I came, it was more leisurely, but now it's an escape.

After they got used to the darkness in the mountains and forests, it was not difficult for them to walk.

The physical fitness is relatively good, and I can see more clearly even at night.

"Good evening, everyone." Several people suddenly heard a voice behind them, and when they looked back, a black-haired man was standing on a tree behind him, looking at this side with a smile.

The moment Asuna saw Herag, her pupils dilated instantly, her mouth opened wide in horror, and then she covered her mouth with her hands with a look of extreme horror.

"Asuna! Asuna! What's wrong! Sadie was the first to notice Asuna's abnormality.

The dark-haired man looked unremarkable and didn't do anything, why did Asuna show such an expression.

At this moment, in Asuna's eyes, the black-haired man was in addition to his magic power comparable to that of a mid-level spellcaster.

The most important thing is that the bloodline power in the body of the black-haired man in front of him is simply terrifyingly powerful.

Asuna can see the strength of other people's bloodlines, and most people will have some red glimmers in their bodies.

Stronger knights will have some red shimmers on their bodies.

The stronger knight will have some red shimmer all over his body.

Asuna had ever seen the strongest bloodline power was an elf, and that elf's whole body was shrouded in a layer of red mist, which meant that his bloodline power was very strong.

But these are nothing compared to the black-haired man in front of him.

The red light on the black-haired man's body could almost be said to be a sea of blood, which had formed a tsunami wave that rushed into the sky.

Asuna looked up and saw the red blood glow that almost covered the entire night sky.

And, in the red light, a black humanoid black shadow, this humanoid creature also has a pair of bat-like wings behind it, but it is wider and larger than bat wings.

It was something Asuna had never seen before, and she had never seen anything like this in the vision of anyone's bloodline power.
