"Stop. ”

Brandon suddenly leaned down, raised his hand to stop the ranger behind him, the well-trained old ranger immediately lay down, using the lush weeds and shrubs on the ground to cover his figure, no longer making any sound, the ranger will smear the juice of blue vanilla with him, in order to cover his own smell, many beasts and monsters especially hate this smell, so although the night wind is strong, but it will not expose the position, the only drawback is that the smell of blue vanilla is very easy to attract insects and mosquitoes, if it is not well-trained and determined, ordinary people can't even bear it for half an hour。

Brandon narrowed his eyes, ignoring the annoying mosquitoes buzzing in front of him, he even let a palm-sized spider crawl down his arm from his cheek to the top of his head, and listened motionlessly to the movement ahead, but based on this movement alone, he had no way to tell what kind of creature it was, but it was always right to be careful, Dick's previous warning was by no means alarmist.

Genos lay on the ground and didn't dare to move, he would rather rotate the city wall that stood guard all night than follow Brandon to patrol the Black Forest, even if it was only on the edge, when Brandon arranged for him to join this team, he almost thought that Brandon was going to kill people, after all, it was too normal for a rookie Ranger to die in the Black Forest, and it was understandable to die without a corpse, he was thinking about how to escape from Brandon's hands and how to get out of the Black Forest all the way, but unfortunately there was no answer to this question, at least he Janos couldn't do it.

However, this anxiety was gradually dispelled by the invisible pressure emanating from the Black Forest, and he also saw that Brandon had no intention of killing people, and all he could do now was to cooperate with Brandon as much as possible to win favor, not for anything else, just to survive.

The voice was getting closer and closer, everyone tensed their nerves, their hands were tightly gripping the hilt of their swords, ready to fight at any time, the four newcomers, except for Genos, who were still calm, the other three were a little overwhelmed, they were too nervous, the hands holding the sword were full of sweat, the already sultry jungle, coupled with mosquito bites, made them even more irritable, in a short time, the sweat had soaked their clothes, if it weren't for the old rangers lying next to them, they would have been unable to help jumping.

Colin crawled to Brandon's side at a very slow speed, he and Brandon glanced at each other, took out the crossbow from his waist, slowly loaded the crossbow arrow, aimed in the direction of the sound, stretched out a finger and pointed behind him to the left, and then to the right, and the other two old rangers drew their long swords in understanding, and quietly disappeared on both sides.

Brandon understood what Colin meant, judging from this movement, the other party's purpose was very clear, that is, it was in their direction, it would be too unwise to turn around and run, that would only cause the personnel to be separated, and in the process of running, even the old rangers were easy to get lost, let alone newcomers, once they were caught up, they would definitely die, but in the case of not knowing anything, it was naturally not a good choice to meet the enemy head-on.

Then there is only one option left......

Brandon nodded at Colin, turned his head to look at the four newcomers, including Genos, made a silent gesture, and pressed down, signaling them to never get up or make any sound, and after doing all this, he drew his long sword and slowly got up and walked in the direction of the sound.

“...... Lord Brandon"

Genos looked at Brandon's distant figure, and couldn't help but feel a little moved and guilty in his heart, in this case, in fact, the best choice is to send a newcomer like them to investigate the situation, if there is something wrong, they can evacuate in time, and the loss of doing so is the smallest, which Brandon will not understand, but he still risked his own death and chose to investigate the situation by himself.

Not long ago, he suspected that Brandon was going to kill him, and suspected that he was using Herlan to provoke Dick to deter them from the new prisoners, and by the way, to be a good person to buy people's hearts and minds, so as to stabilize his position as a deacon, but now it seems that a person like Brandon would really do such a thing?

"Listen carefully to me, if something happens to Lord Brandon, none of us will be able to escape tonight, from now on, you listen to my command, do you remember the way you came? Tully, Royce, you two go back and inform Master Dick at once, tell him what is happening, the sooner the better, Yolun, you follow me, pay attention to my back, keep a distance of about five meters, not too close and not too far, why are you still stunned, go! I am responsible for what happened! ”

Genos lowered his voice as much as possible, his order still had some effect, after all, among the newcomers, except for Jossen and William, only he Genos could speak, Tully and Royce had long been fed up with mosquito bites, but they did not dare to openly disobey Brandon's orders, Genos's words could be described as a lifesaver, and they didn't care to think about whether Genos could afford this responsibility, so they got up and ran in the direction of Winter City.

"Follow me. Genos whispered to Yuren.

He knew very well that he was good at making claims, but at this moment the three rangers had to cooperate with Brandon, if he didn't make a decision and just lay on the spot, then there would only be two results, one was that there was no danger, and the sound was just made by animals, which was naturally the best, and second, it was the monsters that were dormant in the Black Forest that made the noise, and most of these monsters were social creatures, often cooperating with each other to hunt prey, if this was the case, inaction would be waiting for death, Brandon and Colin were both experienced rangers, since even they were so alert, the latter was obviously much more likely。

Yuren stood still and watched in the direction of Tully and Royce until the two figures disappeared into the dense trees.

"You want to go back with them, too?

Genos slapped Yuren on the shoulder, which frightened him, and Yuren couldn't help but be annoyed and said, "Who is afraid of death, do you think that I am a pig who only knows how to eat, drink and sleep like them? ”

Of course, Youlun is afraid of death, but he is unwilling to show this weakness in front of outsiders, he must be tough, fierce, and fearless, only in this way can he be looked down upon and barely survive in this world.

Genos wants this effect, but there is another purpose for this arrangement that is not told to Yulun, among the four people, only he and Yuren have a good relationship, and both of them are tall and powerful, although they are not as good as Dick's monsters, but they are also much stronger than fat people like Tully and Royce, if they are really chased by monsters for a while, those two people will definitely become a burden.

This was one of the reasons why Genos had arranged for them to return to Winterfell, and the second reason......

......

Tully and Royce were careful not to make a sound at first, but after running like this for more than ten minutes, the two men, who were not very fit, stopped in unison and sat on the ground with their backs against a tree, their heavy armor and swords making them breathless.

Ta used the last bit of strength to remove the helmet, casually tossed it aside, gasping for breath, if he wore it a little longer, he even felt like he was going to suffocate and pass out, this armor was indeed very thick, good defense, enough to resist wolf and tiger bites, swords and slashes, but correspondingly it was also heavy, a trained ranger could ignore this weight, but he was far from it.

Seeing this, Royce hurriedly said, "Don't take it off, what if you encounter any fierce beasts and monsters?"

"Then you wear it, I didn't force you to take it off, this thing is so heavy, if you really want to encounter a fierce beast monster, you can't run away, is it possible that you still want to rely on this armor to fight head-on with the monsters in this ghost place?"

Tully sneered as he took off his armor and threw it at his feet, his thin shirt was already soaking wet, and the night breeze blew through it, and it was as cool and refreshing as if he had been reborn, but this feeling of comfort lasted less than three seconds, and he felt itchy and painful all over his body, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

"This damn blue vanilla, it's itching to me, I bet there were 10,000 mosquitoes sucking my blood. ”

Tully grinned and lifted his clothes, constantly scratching his neck, back, stomach, fat and bloated body trembling and trembling, emitting a disgusting sour smell, even the smell of blue vanilla could not be completely overshadowed.

Perhaps affected by Tully's behavior, Royce gradually felt itchy all over his body, this feeling is really not something that can be ignored by willpower, it is extremely itchy, as if it itched into the bone marrow, and it was accompanied by bursts of tingling, not more than ten seconds, Royce also gave up insisting, he took off his armor, and kept scratching his neck, only the pain could be relieved.

"First...... Let's go back and inform Master Dick. ”

Royce is not as crazy as Tully scratches, he knows very well in his heart that mosquitoes in the Black Forest are poisonous, and scratching alone will not solve any problems, once the skin is scratched, it will fester, pus, infected with diseases, and even die because of it.

"Damn! It's so itchy!"

Tully yelled loudly, he also knew that Royce was right, but he couldn't help himself now, this itchy feeling, if he didn't scratch it at all, it would be good if he didn't touch it, but now, he couldn't stop at all, these hands seemed to no longer belong to him, sharp nails scraped the skin, blood stains all over the body, the pain was relieved by one or two, but then it was doubled the itching.

At this moment, it is no longer sweat that penetrates the clothes, but blood......

If this continues, let alone go back to Winter City, I'm afraid that the two of them will be scratched to death by themselves tonight, Royce endured the itching all over his body, rushed forward in three steps, punched Tully in the cheek, knocked him to the ground, and he roared in a low voice, "Do you want to die?"
