Behind the black cloud tree was a fluffy creature huddled, which looked like an animal from a distance, but if you looked closer, you would find that this thing had the same limbs as a human being, and its fluffy ears trembled under its long brown hair, and it had the face of a woman, the claws of a wolf, the ears of a fox, its eyes glowing green, its sharp teeth dripping with blood, and the sound of munching bones in its mouth.

As Brandon and the others approached, its expression became hideous, baring its teeth at them, its sharp claws constantly digging into the earth, but its body slowly leaned back, ready to flee at any time.

What is it?

It was the first time Genos had seen this kind of creature, even if it was the notorious Black Forest, but this kind of thing that looked like a human but was not a human being, it was really weird to the extreme, not only him, but even Brandon was full of doubts in his heart, although he couldn't say everything about the types of monsters in the Black Forest, but it was not too much, but this creature in front of him, which monster was the descendant, he was a little difficult to judge.

Brandon is still speculating, but Colin is not so patient, for the monsters of the Black Forest, he can be said to hate deeply, I don't know how many Ranger brothers are buried in the mouths of these monsters, thinking of the tragic situation when his brothers died, the monster with a woman's face in front of him made him more and more disgusted, and immediately aimed the bow and crossbow at its forehead, without saying a word, directly pulled the trigger.

With a whoosh, the cold-glowing crossbow bolt shot straight at her.

This is not an ordinary crossbow arrow, the border keeper can eat shabby, wear it simply, and even sleep on the spot It doesn't matter, but there is only one thing, their equipment is definitely at the top level, this bow and crossbow is completely equal to the simple version of the spirit guide gun, each crossbow arrow is attached to a spell of the third order or above, which is more than enough to deal with ordinary beasts and even monsters.

It obviously sensed the danger, the fluff was upside down, the moment Colin pulled the trigger, it had already made the corresponding dodge action, but it still couldn't avoid it, it was pierced by the crossbow arrow through the ankle, it roared at Colin, the heavy smell of blood made people breathless, Colin didn't care, the reason why he didn't directly trigger the spell was to appreciate the monster's desperate appearance.

Brandon couldn't help frowning when he saw this, he still thought how powerful this different monster was, but now it seemed that it was nothing more than that, but the question he really needed to think about was not this, but its origin, if the monster of the Black Forest was created under the influence of the Abyss, then whether the humanoid monster in front of him was a real human before? If these monsters already existed, then what kind of race was it a descendant?

Whether there is a threat or not is secondary, their mission to garrison the Void City is to observe, the appearance of this strange creature just shows that their feelings are not wrong, this matter must be reported, and they can't kill her yet.

Thinking of this, Brandon stepped in to stop Colin from inducing the spell, "Colin, you wait first. ”

"It's worthless to just kill her. ”

Genos also stopped the movements of the other two rangers at the same time, the danger of the face monster in front of him was not as great as imagined, it was easy to kill it, but there was no point in doing so, he saw that Brandon also had the same doubt in his eyes, and determined what he thought in his heart, this monster was an anomaly, even Brandon, who had lived in the Void City for more than twenty years, had never seen it, so its value was not as simple as just a monster.

"Yes. ”

Although Colin is unwilling, he will never disobey Brandon's orders, in Winter City, any words spoken by Brandon as a deacon are absolutely unquestionable, and for those who disobey, Brandon can be executed on the spot.

Maybe it was tired of roaring, it whimpered in despair, but its injured right foot was still bleeding, and even if it wanted to run, it was impossible to escape from the hands of these people in front of it, especially the thin black-haired man in front of him, who was far more dangerous than the other five.

"Do you understand me?"

Brandon crossed Genos and walked in front of it, the blade of the sword was slightly raised, against its neck, no matter how much it looked like a human, a monster was a monster after all, but if it made any abnormal move, Brandon would not hesitate to kill it.

It just whimpered, its turquoise eyes fixed on Brandon's face, as if begging for mercy, as if crying.

"Lord Deacon, why don't you cut off its hands and feet, and take it back to the council to dispose of, I believe this monster is the first time you have seen it, although the threat is not great, but if you don't investigate it thoroughly, it will be a hidden danger after all. ”

Genos made a pertinent suggestion, Colin glanced at the newcomer in surprise, and then nodded in agreement, he understood Brandon's idea, since there was no way to kill it to vent his anger, this was the best solution.

It seemed to understand what Genos was saying, its eyes widened and roared at him, and the sharp cry penetrated the forest and spread, Genos immediately covered his ears, and Brandon and Colin and the others changed their faces, they should have expected it, how could it be slaughtered.

Before, it may not have made a loud noise because it was worried about other monsters, but now, it was obvious that it wanted to lure all the monsters lurking in the Black Forest, and would rather die than drag Brandon and his party into the water, and there was a hint of mockery in its turquoise eyes.

Colin's heart was crossed, he couldn't care what Brandon thought at this time, if they continued to consume, I was afraid that they would be waiting for thousands of hungry monsters, and he immediately activated the spell engraved on the crossbow arrow.

"Why kill it? Isn't it a life? What unpardonable sin has it committed?"

With three questions, a figure slowly walked from behind the tree to everyone, even in the black forest where she couldn't see her fingers, her appearance was still clearly visible, her snow-white long hair was flying in the night wind, unknown flower branches were wrapped around her hair, which looked extraordinarily enchanting, and the long eyelashes set off the pair of ice blue eyes, like a bright moon and cold, making people unconsciously immersed in it, pointed ears emerged from the white hair, and the skin was white and almost transparent, although she was in the black forest, she was as pure as an angel.

Her hand was glowing with silver light, suppressed the spell on the crossbow arrow, and when she reached out and took it, the human-faced monster whimpered, and the crossbow arrow suddenly flew from the wound to her eyes, even Genos and Yuren recognized it at a glance, and this person in front of her must be the compatriot of the Void City Lord Ethel, the elven race.

Few people in this generation of Terrans have ever seen the elves, and the friction between the various races is basically the well water does not interfere with the river water under the reconciliation of the council, so many people's understanding of the elves is limited to the records of books.

Legend has it that elves were born in the first rays of light, they are the first creatures of this world, with unparalleled qualifications and long lifespans, the whole body is shining, bright and dazzling, they look very beautiful, they are noble, elegant, intelligent, beautiful in one, close to nature, live in the forest, formed a relatively loose kingdom, although the nature is good, hateful to sin, but they are also very arrogant, almost look down on any race except the dragon, in the eyes of the elves, the other races are inferior, rude, barbaric creatures, not worthy of being compared with them at all, they are born with affinity for spiritual power, magic spells are at hand, so in addition to the dragon race, no one dares to take the initiative to provoke this race that seems to advocate natural peace, but is actually very arrogant in its bones.

"Without the permission and pass of the council, no matter what race you are, no matter what status, if you dare to step into the territory of the Void City without permission, you are the enemy of the border guards, if necessary, it is okay to kill it, I wonder if you have a council pass? If not, I advise you to leave this place now, otherwise I will not be able to guarantee your safety. ”

Brandon was not frightened by her elven identity, after all, he had been in the Void City for more than twenty years, and the other races had some contact in the early years, but after he took over the Winter City guarded by the Terrans, there were many fewer contacts, and he had never heard of the existence of the elves in the Black Forest over the years, so it was worth pondering what the purpose of coming to Winter City was.

"The Terrans are still so rude, since I asked first, you should answer me first, instead of talking to yourself there. ”

With a wave of her hand, the crossbow arrow in front of her swished and sank into the black cloud tree on Colin's left, and countless stumps and broken leaves fell with it, but Colin just had a gloomy face and did not do any excesses, not because he was afraid, but because Brandon had not yet expressed his position, once other races were involved, no matter how small the problem was, he must be cautious, otherwise once there was an irreparable situation, he could not afford it.

"Why kill it? Isn't it ridiculous that you ask such a question, that it tries to attract other monsters with its screams, and this behavior is already a threat to us in nature, so why can't we kill it? Of course, as you said, it is also a life, but I also want to ask you, so what? Thousands of living beings die every day in this world, and thousands of living beings are born, no matter who they are, as long as they live, they will inevitably die, and why is it exception? As for sin, it's even more ridiculous, because it's a weak place, and you fight for it, so why don't you protect the animals that are eaten alive by it? If you change places, you will show up to fight for us?"

Before Brandon could speak, Genos refuted it on his own, he knew very well that these words were exactly what Brandon wanted to say but couldn't say, as the deacon of Winter City, Brandon's attitude largely represented the attitude of the Terrans of Void City, so these words could only be said by him Genos.
