Chapter 2: Betrayal
Shaking and shaking, Asher woke up from his slumber, and because he used the power of space that he did not fully grasp, he was counterattacked, so he lay down under the tree to rest and recover from his injuries.
Just waking up and finding that someone was carrying him on his back made Asher feel a little strange.
Forget it, let's see what these people are going to do, and see where they are going to take me. Asher thought for a moment and continued to pretend to be unconscious.
"Damn! Your broken map is not inconsistent, it was simply scribbled by someone else, I have been walking in this forest for two days, but I haven't even seen the shadow of the seven-leaf blue blood grass. Ellie looked at Barlow and said angrily.
"Wait, Ellie, don't speak yet, I feel the breath of a demonic beast in front of me, at least a demonic beast above the fifth order. Claude walked in front of him and suddenly stopped.
"Well, what are we going to do, should we go over and fix it first?" asked Elle, looking at Chloe.
"Our purpose is to find the Seven Leaf Blue Blood Grass, there is no need to make extraneous branches, we should be careful, it is best not to alarm that demonic beast. Chloe said as she walked cautiously ahead.
"According to the time and position of the sun at this time, our location at this time should be in the northeast of the Yapal Forest, and it is rumored that the Seven Leaf Blue Blood Grass is in the northeast of the Yapal Forest, let's look for it here, but be careful not to alarm the demonic beast. Claude looked at the sky and analyzed.
"Ah, Chloe, you're amazing, it's not like some!" said Ellie, looking at Barlow.
"Okay, Ellie, it's my fault, how about I beat up the men who gave me the map when I go back and send it to you to vent your anger?" Barlow looked at Ellie helplessly. It's just that a faint cold glow flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"Think you'll be fine if you put the blame on your men?" Ellie snorted as she looked at Barlow. Ignoring Barlow, he walked forward.
The dark and damp forest was full of all kinds of dangers, and several people carefully searched for the target of this trip, only Barlow quietly left strange marks on the trees with a solemn gaze after moving away from a few people.
Why did this Barlow leave a mark here to hide it from the others, and he was so nervous. Asher, who was on Barlow's back and had a full view of everyone's behavior, couldn't help but ponder.
After searching for more than half an hour, a cry of surprise finally broke the silence that had lasted for a long time.
"Ahh
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly looked over.
"The leaves are red, as if seven leaves are joined together. It is indeed a seven-leaf blue blood grass. Claude walked over and observed for a moment, nodded
"Now Luna is saved. Vermeo looked at the seven-leaf blue-blooded grass and said in surprise. As he spoke, he reached out to pick it.
At this moment, a sudden mutation occurred, and an angry roar came from a distance, and a giant red ape covered in blood rushed towards this side, but only after a few steps, a huge wind blade cut it in two.
"I didn't expect you to find the Seven Leaf Blue Blood Grass. A rugged middle-aged man in a cyan robe slowly walked out from behind a tree in the distance and said lightly.
There were more than a dozen people behind him, all of whom exuded a fierce momentum without exception, and their strength was obviously not bad. Behind these dozen people, there was also an old man wearing a black cloak with a pale face walking quietly behind, keeping a certain distance from these people.
"Father, you've finally arrived. Barlow ran over happily when he saw the comer.
"Well done, Barlow. The middle-aged man in the cyan robe glanced at Barlow and said lightly.
Chloe looked at these people who suddenly appeared, and couldn't help but stare lightly, "Uncle Locke doesn't know what you mean by bringing so many people here?
"Oh, do you think so? Unfortunately, it's not like that, I thought that without our help, the demonic beasts in this forest would also kill you. But for some reason, the demonic beasts in this forest have plummeted, and I don't know where they have gone, so we have to take action in person. Fortunately, Barlow left a message along the way, otherwise we would have been able to walk out of the forest with the seven-leaf blue blood grass safe and sound, and we would have no way to make a difference. Locke looked at Chloe and smiled.
"Barlow, you actually betrayed us, although I hated you very much, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing" Elle immediately looked at Barlow and said angrily when she heard this.
"Hmph, if Claude had agreed to my pursuit, this would not have happened now, and Claude would be to blame. Barlow glanced at Chloe with lust and then said hatefully.
"Just because you want to marry Croe, you are worthy. Elle looked at Barlow and became angrier.
"Alright, Elle don't have a verbal war with them. Looks like Uncle Locke has come to kill us. But aren't you afraid that you will kill us and the news leak out? Once the news leaks out, neither the Academy nor my father will be able to afford to be provoked by your Blood Shedding Guild, and even if the people behind you want to protect you, they will probably not be able to do it. Chloe looked at Locke and said lightly.
"Hehe, the little girl really has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, so in order to prevent being caught, you and your companions will die. Locke looked at Chloe and said coldly.
"Uncle Locke, let's do this, the identities of these companions of mine in the academy are not simple, your purpose is nothing more than to kill me and hit my father, you let them go, I will go with you, you use me to threaten my father can also have the same effect, otherwise if we are desperate, we can at least pull a few burial companions, in case we run out again. Your plans will also fall short. Chloe looked at Locke and said lightly.
"Croe, how can you do this, you came to this forest to save Luna, how can we watch you go with them. If our goal is to escape, they may not be able to keep us. Vermeo immediately objected.
"Although I came here to save Luna, I am afraid that today's situation is not as simple as we imagined when we stumbled upon the bandits. I'm afraid that the bandit group appeared to capture me at that time, but I didn't expect the adventurers who came unexpectedly to stop them. Chloe looked at Vermeo and said apologetically.
"Don't say that, Chloe, we were originally companions, and even if we knew the result at the time, I think Luna would not hesitate to make a move. Vermeo looked at Chloe and said seriously.
Watching these people apologize to each other, they didn't ask themselves what they meant. Locke looked at Chloe and said coldly: "When did I agree to negotiate terms with you, even if I caught you and used it to blackmail your father, would your father let me go afterwards, so this matter must not leave a handle, for this reason, Mr. Guise was specially invited, and the fall of them here can also be regarded as a warning to the top of the academy, the empire will never allow a force that is above the empire." ”
