Roses flicked her fingers, her eyes narrowing slightly.

"Sister, what do you want?" asked Xena suspiciously.

"It's nothing, I'll go for a walk, you guys go to sleep first. Roses stood, lifted the tent curtains, and walked out.

There were a few guards standing sparsely outside, and the voices of Bai Lan and the others were faintly heard in the stream in the distance. The sky darkened, and only the campfire grew brighter and brighter in the camp.

Roses said hello to a few of the guards, and then led one of the female guards to the grass in a gesture of convenience.

The eyes of the others were not good enough to chase her anymore.

She stepped into the grass and looked at the half-man-tall bushes on all sides.

"You go and guard the surroundings first. She whispered to the female guard.

"Yes. ”

As the others walked away, Roses flicked her fingers. Two dots of blue light suddenly flew out of his fingertips and landed in the bushes, looming. It's like tiny fireflies.

"Go try that Ahhiya. She commanded with her lips.

The blue fireflies suddenly drifted into the grass and disappeared completely.

Roses looked thoughtful in place.

Take advantage of the excuse to go out to collect firewood again and stop by to shop. Garon took Uren back to where he had been.

He cautiously walked to the edge of the purple grass and pretended not to care.

Soon, he was not far from the edge of the purple grass and found a hundred-thorn grass with large leaves and thick stems. Obviously, there are quite a few years.

Thorn grass is another of the more commonly used herb washing ingredients, Garon secretly noted it in his heart.

Rounding the area again, Urun following closely behind him. I don't know what he's doing.

In the entire surrounding wooded area, Garon found more than a dozen purple grass plants one after another, and the hundred-thorn grass was much less, only three. This made him feel more and more satisfied.

After walking around the surrounding woods for a few moments, the sky was getting too dark to see clearly, and Garon was ready to walk back.

Surrounded by dense trees and bushes, they were standing on a slope. Before I knew it, I had arrived at a place far away from the camp.

In the dim light, the woods were dark everywhere, and the green plants and trees had also turned dark green.

"Young Master. What the hell are you looking for?" asked Ullen, bored behind Garon.

"My cousin loves flowers and plants, and I want to find some flowers and plants that she likes and bring them back to her. Garon replied casually, "It's just that it will take a few days for us to come out." I've picked a few goals though. But digging back too early doesn't help. ”

Uren nodded knowingly. Suddenly, he jerked forward and grabbed a small green snake that pounced on Garon.

The palm of the hand pinched the little snake seven inches accurately, and it was exactly the same. With a slight rub, the little snake suddenly hissed, and the seven inches were directly flattened. He was thrown to the ground.

Garon looked slightly frightened.

"It's another green leaf snake! There are so many little snakes in this forest! If you hadn't found it earlier, this one would have bitten me!"

"It's nothing, it's clearly a place for green leaf snakes. A little more is nothing. No matter how venomous the snake is, it will be in vain if it can't bite people. Regardless of the understatement.

Suddenly, a little blue dot fluttered towards the two of them, it was a small blue snake. It looks lazy, and its movements are gentle and smooth.

Both Garons saw the snake.

"What kind of snake is that?" Garon asked with a frown.

"I don't know, the blue one should be a blue-scaled snake, but there should be very few such snakes in this environment. Uren also frowned slightly. "Be careful, this snake is fast and explosive. You step back first. ”

"Good. When Garon heard this, he immediately hid behind Urun.

Uren put on black leather gloves and his expression was a little serious. The Blue-Scaled Snake has hard skin and is extremely fast, making it an easy opponent to deal with. He had been a jungle ranger for a few years, eating for bounties, and living in this kind of jungle was commonplace, but it also felt a little tricky.

It doesn't matter if it's just him, but there is a big young master who has to be protected, it's a bit troublesome.

"Shouldn't there be a blue-scaled snake here?" he wondered, and began to stare intently at the lazy blue-scaled snake.

The little one, which is less than half a meter, seems to have spotted the two people in front of it, and it tilts its head and makes a subtle hissing sound, as if to warn the two of them to leave the direction it is heading.

"We're slowly getting out of here. Urun whispered, "Move slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”

"Good. ”

The two of them moved slowly to the left with soothing movements.

Suddenly, a blue star burst out, straight into Ulun's face.

The blue star erupted from the mouth of the blue-scaled snake, pulling out a thin blue line in mid-air, beautiful and crystalline. At the same time, a fishy smell spread rapidly, as if the place had suddenly become a stinky ditch.

Just as Bluestar was about to shoot in Urun's face, he jerked up his right hand and blocked it.

Burst!

The blue star landed on the glove, and immediately hissed and corroded. It was a thick blue venom.

"Run!!" Urun yelled, quickly taking off her gloves and shooting out with a tiny dagger. But it was immediately avoided by the blue-scaled snake.

One person and one snake confronted each other, and no one dared to distract themselves.

When Garon heard the shout, he pulled his legs and ran in the direction of the camp, where there were many guards, and as long as he ran there, there would be no big problem. Among the guards are also expert veterans who specialize in dealing with snakes.

The woods in front of him fell back quickly, his legs rattling through the grass and bushes, and Garon did not stop for the slightest.

The reaction and speed of Urun and the Blue Scale Snake that erupted just now, as well as the accuracy, had already reached a very high level, and it was impossible for him to dodge the Blue Scale Snake's venom without revealing his strength.

Behind him, Uren's heavy shouting came again, but it was getting farther and farther away, and it was obvious that the distance was gradually getting farther away.

Garon ran forward at a rapid pace, feeling a little relieved. He slowed down, trying to look back.

Burst!

Suddenly, a blue shadow swooped down from the branch behind him. Straight into his face. Before I could touch it, I smelled the same strong smell as before.

"It's not an accident!!" Garon instantly understood in his heart that this was definitely someone deliberately tempting. Before he had time to think about it, he deliberately stumbled under his feet.

"Oops!" he shouted, and his body fell to the right, just in time to avoid the blue shadow's pounce.

With a snap, the blue shadow slammed into the surface of a white stone block on the ground, instantly cracking the stone apart.

Garon was half-seated on the ground, and it was only then that he could see what it was.

It's the same blue-scaled snake just now!

The head of the blue-scaled snake was scratched with a little skin, but no blood flowed out. It glared at Garon, its slender body slowly but gracefully swimming towards him.

Garon looked extremely frightened, not daring to move, only half-sitting on the ground, staring in fear at the blue-scaled snake swimming over.

It was very strange that he actually faintly saw a trace of familiarity in the eyes of this snake.

"That's?" said Garon, who wondered.

At this moment, the blue-scaled snake suddenly paused, seemed to be attracted by something, turned around and swam away in the other direction. Ignore Galleon again.

Garon slowly got up and made a pale face, but the doubts in his heart were indeed greater.

In the distant woods, Roses looked at the blue-scaled snake swimming back with a puzzled expression.

"The reaction was normal, but the fall was too coincidental," she frowned slightly. She looked down at a black scroll of paper in her hand. "Forget it, let's get down to business first. ”

Terry Jones Manor, Vindman House

Inside the study with reddish-brown tones.

Vindman was sitting across from a black-robed man. The oil lamp on one side of the table emitted a dim and quiet yellow light, and the yellow light formed a circle of yellow light, just enough to envelop the two of them. Everything outside the aperture was dark.

"What's the matter with you coming this time? Vindman crossed his fingers with his hands crossed, and his face was indifferent.

"Old friend, I really don't want to see you go so astray. The black-robed man's voice was low, a man's voice. "You and I have been working together for so many years, and at this critical juncture, you are making this kind of thing again. Even if I want to help you calm down, it's hard. ”

His tone was calm and gentle, but his attitude was serious.

Vindman frowned and shook his head.

"It's not my problem, it's true that this shipment was looted in my territory, but my control is too weak at the border. It can't be all the blame on me. He paused, "There are three hidden routes for the delivery of this batch of goods, and after so many detours, there are still people who can accurately grasp the delivery route of the border."

"It's true that there are ghosts, but that's not the point. The black-robed man shook his head, "The point is, someone wants to do it in your territory, and they can do it in your territory." And more crucially, someone allows such behavior to be acquiesced. Everyone is silent, and that's the point. ”

Vindman was silent, his hand down on the arm of his chair, and he clenched it faintly.

There was a hint of regret in the black-robed man's tone.

"We're old friends too, and now the branch is very dissatisfied with you because of this. If you don't choose again"

"I'm the royal family's silver lantern master!" Vindman interrupted, his voice low.

The black-robed man of the "royal family" was a little disappointed, "Is this your choice?" I thought you could see the situation clearly, but I didn't expect that," he stood up, "Forget it, you didn't come here as a me." ”

He turned and walked into the darkness beyond the yellow circle of light.

"Dongsai, I haven't forgotten everything that happened, and I hope you haven't forgotten either. Vindman suddenly spoke.

"I'm not the same as I used to be. The black-robed man stood still and replied lightly.

"The royal family doesn't necessarily lose!" Vindman replied categorically.

"But the royal family doesn't speak for all. The black-robed man strode into the darkness and disappeared into the shadows in an instant. There was no sound of the door opening, no footsteps, as if the wind melted into the darkness and disappeared without a trace. (To be continued......)
