The group of people who were chased by the rats finally threw the rats away after running for more than ten miles with all their might.

Exhausted, Lance lay on the ground, gasping for air, completely oblivious to his own image.

Except for the mysterious Della, who was still on his guard, the rest of the people were also sitting or lying on the ground, and the situation was not much different from that of Lance.

A crescent moon had quietly hung in the sky at some point, and the moonlight fell mottled through the sparse branches on several people.

After resting for about a bucket of smoke, Lance finally regained some strength.

He struggled to sit up, looked at the other few people who hadn't gotten up yet, and smiled wryly and teased Blanke, who was still panting: "I can't see it, you're still running fast, and you're really a flexible fat man." Haha......"

Blank gave Lance a blank look, the exhaustion had made him feel too weak to be in the mood to fight with this kid.

"You're hurt?"

Lance asked worriedly when he saw the blood stains on Blank's clothes in the moonlight.

"Huh, it's okay, it's slow...... was bitten a few times by a few mice, you fat man has a lot of meat, let them eat a few catties It's fine, hiss...... However, it really hurts......"

Blanc said with a grin.

"Why don't you get some for us later?" haha......

Ike, who was also resting about the same, also laughed.

Ike's words caused the others to laugh too, especially Tecklin, whose hearty laughter spread far and wide through the silent forest.

Instead, Lance fell silent at this point.

They had only been in the Erin Forest for two days before they encountered a pack of wolves and terrifying rats.

The anomaly is as if it was manipulated.

Lance had already discovered something unusual, and now he smelled a sense of conspiracy.

"Damn, what the hell happened to Erin Forest?"

While he was thinking, Lance heard an angry shout.

In search of prestige, Orlando slammed his fist on a tree trunk next to him, and the way he gritted his teeth made Lance feel a little strange.

The most embarrassing of this escape was the short-legged dwarf Teklin.

Due to the limitation of his size, he has always fallen behind the group, and on several occasions he was almost overwhelmed by the rats, but fortunately Blanc pulled him a few times next to him, so that he would not fall into danger, but there were also many rats that scurried on him, his clothes had been bitten to tatters, and he looked like a beggar.

Fortunately, his skin was hard, and the rat's teeth did not bite into the flesh, and although he was embarrassed, he was not injured.

Leaning on the trunk of the tree, the recovered Teklin raised his voice and said to Orlando, "Orlando, these rats don't smell of the jungle anymore, and they have a disgusting feeling about them. ”

Orlando, who had recovered from his anger, had an unnatural face, and he did not respond to Ike's words, but only sighed faintly.

By the light of the moon, the subtle changes in Orlando's expression fell into the eyes of Lance, who had been quietly observing him.

The strangeness of the rat colony, Lance had already noticed when he fled.

But Orlando ......

"It always feels like these rats are being manipulated by the same people as the wolves that attacked us before, are they the same people?"

Blank said with a frown.

"These rats are more like they're driving us, and if they were in full pursuit, I'm afraid we wouldn't have run away so easily. ”

Orlando said.

"It's the first time I've heard of rats driving away prey, Orlando, I know you're angry, your admiration for nature has been tarnished by these abominable heretics, but you have to be realistic, okay? Don't be mad at yourself. ”

Suotaki looked at Orlando with disdain, for him, fists and swords were the best way to solve the problem, and cranky thinking would only make him hesitate and cowardly.

"I agree with Orlando, and I feel like someone is trying to manipulate the animals to drive us away. ”

Lance said.

He couldn't understand why the wolves behaved so abnormally, and they walked away at the slightest touch, which was completely inconsistent with the characteristics of wolves.

Now that Orlando said this, it dawned on him.

Someone must be behind this.

After listening to Lance's words, Orlando's emotions fell into a state of anger again, as if he was about to explode at any moment.

Lance was about to continue talking when Ike, who was nearby, suddenly patted him on the shoulder and shook his head at him.

Orlando, who was originally extremely well cultivated, is now emotionally out of control, not only Lance feels abnormal about this, but even others also show puzzled looks.

Orlando's anomaly led Lance to associate his behavior with anomalous wolves and the rats that "chase" them.

"Is there any connection between the three?"

Lance thought to himself, and the hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist subconsciously tightened a little.

After a moment of silence, Blanc asked, "What are we going to do next?"

"What else can I do? Of course, I'm looking for a place to rest, and after running for so long, I really don't want to move anymore!" Suotaki said lazily.

"Blank, I didn't expect you to have a time when you were uneasy!"

After Ike finished speaking, he slapped Blank's arm in a playful manner, but he didn't want to just slap it on Blank's wound, causing Blank's body to tremble, and his own hands were also stained with some blood.

"Sorry, I forgot you were hurt, I brought the wound medicine......"

Before Ike could finish his sentence, he heard a familiar and high-pitched wolf howl from the depths of the forest, as if declaring war on the group.

"Damn, I'm fine. ”

Blanc cursed in a low voice, and at the same time loudly rejected Ike's kindness, and drew his weapon to enter the enemy state with the others.

didn't make them wait long, under the mottled moonlight, more than twenty eyes flashing weird red were quickly approaching Lance and his gang.

The momentum is like a rainbow, and death is like home.

The wolves attacked as fiercely as the knights who launched the final charge.

Under the moonlight, a faint red glow appeared in Orlando's eyes, and it disappeared without even him noticing.

Before the wolves approached, Suo Long, who was chased by the rats and was a little aggrieved, suddenly rushed out, like an angry beast, with a loud shout, rushing towards the wolf king who took the lead.

The dwarf Tyklin followed, and the others followed suit, led by the two of them.

The distance of a few zhang is not far away, not to mention the mutual hedging of the two sides, that is, the two sides have already staggered in the blink of an eye.

The speed and ruthlessness of the attack made Lance, who was following behind, a little surprised.

The originally menacing wolf king was just a mistake with Suo Long, and his head was cut off.

Lance didn't see how Suo Lu made the move, but he noticed that the wolf's head flying towards Orlando still had a smile.

"What's going on? Am I dazzled?"

Lance hurriedly rubbed his eyes, but the huge wolf head had already landed at Orlando's feet.

A black gas quietly floated out of the wolf's head, taking advantage of the cover of night, quietly burrowing into Orlando's body.

After Suo Long succeeded with a sword, his body did not stop, with the momentum of the rapid charge just now, the right foot that stepped forward quickly touched the ground, jumped into the air, the long sword in his left hand in the air at an extremely tricky angle, drew an almost perfect arc in the air, and the action simply slashed the body of another wolf, and then the left hand pushed forward hard, and the wolf was split in half.

The foul-smelling blood splattered out of the wolf's body a moment later, and the organs in the body slammed forward with the body under the influence of inertia.

And Suo Long, who had already rushed into the center of the wolf pack, shook his hands holding the sword, and two sharp heavy long swords brought two clouds of blood mist behind the wolves, and then only heard Suo Long shout, and the whole person spun around like a spinning top, and the two evil wolves who were cut by Suo Long just now finally died under Suo Long's sword.

The wolves, whose formation was disrupted by a counter-charge from Suo Long, no longer had the momentum they had at the beginning, and they could only scuffle with the rest of the people who rushed up.

Orlando, who was a little slower, stood a little sluggish, his eyes a little dazed.

Just now, he clearly felt the sorrow and rejection of the wolf king.

It is here to die.

Seeing the few wolves that were left slaughtered by his companions, Orlando's heart felt a glimmer of pity and sympathy.

Unconsciously, Orlando raised his bow and arrow at his companions, who had just finished the battle.

But in the next moment, Orlando hurriedly lowered his arm.

"How so?"

Orlando felt a pang of fear in his heart, and a thin layer of white sweat oozed from his body.

He shook his head vigorously a few times, and the feeling just now made him feel a wave of guilt and self-blame, even shame, with his goblin blood.

"Have I been eroded by that dark power?"

Orlando thought to himself.

On a large tree in the distance, the mysterious "figure" reappeared, he looked at Orlando's location from afar, he didn't move for a long time, and in the darkness, the black fog around his body became more and more dense.

"The king has begun to wake up. ”

The mysterious "figure" made some sharp and piercing sounds from its mouth, and the black panther beside him seemed to understand, wagging its tail happily, like a well-behaved big cat.
