Originally, when Ryan laid a trap to capture Firefox, Colin and the others hid far away to prevent being discovered by Firefox. However, when Ryan was attacked and Alan shouted a warning, Colin and the others immediately understood that something had changed. They all took out their weapons and surrounded them. They were distributed in a semicircle with Ryan's position as the center. Each occupied a powerful terrain. They could launch attacks at any time as long as Ryan gave an order.
Ryan was facing a formidable enemy, but the other party didn't seem to care. The man in the cloak just slowly walked towards Ryan from his hiding place step by step.
At this time, Allendo already knew that the man in the cloak was hiding less than 60 meters away from his group. His face suddenly turned red. There is no doubt that as a scout in the regiment, Allendo He had just neglected his duty, but what shocked him even more was that the other party did not make any sound every time he stepped on the path in the woods full of dead branches and leaves.
Allendo certainly knows what this means. With the opponent's ability to hide like this, I'm afraid it would be difficult for Allendo to detect the other party's whereabouts in advance even if he pays full attention. Once the other party is hostile, then we will have to wait for the other party. The reaction will only occur after the first arrow is shot. With the archery skills shown by the cloaked man just now, Ryan and the others are likely to lose their numbers in the opponent's first attack.
Thinking of this, Alan looked at Ryan and gave him a very dangerous look, telling him to be more careful. Ryan nodded slowly to express his understanding. He had learned martial arts for several years and was the son of Orion. Of course, I also know how difficult it is to walk in the woods without making a sound, but since the other party has not launched a fatal attack just now, there must be no malicious intent. If it were Senat's people, the arrow just now might not have hurt Ryan's body. If he retreats, his life may not be in danger, but it is inevitable to receive an arrow like last time, and the other party will not just walk out. With his ability to hide in the woods, Ryan and the others will inevitably fall into a hard battle.
But the other party came out after all. This move also minimized his threat, and also gave Ryan and the others a signal of no malice.
Ryan leaned his body against a big tree, slightly stretched out his upper body, and looked up and down at the man walking over. He saw that his whole body was covered by a gray cloak, and his face could not be seen clearly. I know his age. Judging from his figure, this man is thin and tall, half a head taller than Allen, the tallest person on Ryan's side.
What makes Ryan most strange is that this man even wears dark green gloves on his hands, without exposing any skin. Although it is autumn, it is not so cold. This man has a sling on his shoulder. He was holding a long bow, and the quiver on his back was densely filled with white feather arrows. Seeing this, Ryan turned his attention to the arrow nailed to the big tree, and found that the two were indeed the same. tail feathers,
Under the gaze of Ryan and others, the man in the cloak slowly walked to about 20 meters away from Ryan and the others, and stood still. When the fire fox saw the man covered in the cloak, it immediately flew away. He rushed towards him in a general way, and the man in the cloak also stretched out his left hand, letting the fire fox lie on his palm.
"Who are you and how should we call you?" As the leader of the group, Ryan naturally shouldered the corresponding responsibilities, and the man was silent for a moment and whispered: "The name is just a symbol, you can call me the cloaked man." This person's voice was very deep, as if he had deliberately lowered his voice. Moreover, this voice also sounded very awkward. It was probably not his original voice.
"Hello, cloak... person." Ryan was really not used to this title, but now that the two sides had started a conversation, it was much better than starting a fight right away, so Ryan said enthusiastically: "Let's get to know each other. My name is It’s called Ryan, they’re my teammates.”
The guy who claimed to be the cloaked man remained silent. Seeing that the situation was a little awkward, Ryan took the initiative to open the topic and said, "May I ask why you want to interfere with us capturing the fire fox as a magic pet."
The cloaked man continued to say in a low voice: "Why do we need to capture the firefox? Can't we let them live freely on this land?" The firefox lying on his arm shook itself as a demonstration. Ryan and the others couldn't help but laugh when they saw it, and Faras even laughed out loud.
Ryan thought that the fire fox was raised by the person in front of him, so he explained loudly: "I'm really sorry, Your Excellency, we didn't know in advance that this fire fox was you..."
"No." The cloaked man interrupted Ryan's words and said in an emphatic tone: "Whether it is this fire fox or that silver-maned wolf, they should not become vassals of others, but should live freely in the world. Naturally." After saying that, the cloaked man pointed with his other hand at Xiaobai who was lying next to Alando,
Ryan and Allen looked at each other and felt that the person in front of them seemed to be a little too broad. Could it be that he was deliberately looking for trouble? Allenduo used his eyes to warn Ryan to be careful. Ryan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Allendo meant. After organizing his words, he said to the cloaked man: "Sir, your words are very reasonable, but there are also some points that are worthy of discussion."
"It is undeniable that the magician's capture of the magic pet will inevitably cause the magic pet to lose a certain degree of freedom, but it will also give the magic pet corresponding compensation. As we all know, the magic pet will gain part of the magician's master's power. Isn't this also true for them? Isn't it a very happy thing?" Ryan talked eloquently: "Whether it is the Fire Fox or the Silver-maned Wolf King, they have their own unique powers, but in nature, they will inevitably struggle for survival. Maybe the Fire Fox is very fast, But their natural enemies are also countless..."
"Maybe you have good intentions, but you are not it, so how do you know its choice." The cloaked man's deep voice once again interrupted Ryan: "By doing this, aren't you imposing your own will on it? .”
Ryan shook his head and said: "I will not force them. You should also know that if it is not voluntary, the contract of the magic pet cannot be..."
"Then why did you trap it in the center just now? Do you know that its life was in danger just now, and your magic could hurt it at any time..." The cloaked man raised his voice slightly. His voice was no longer deep and hoarse, but seemed to be... It was quite crisp, giving people an indescribable enjoyment in listening to it. This must be the real voice of the cloaked man.
The cloaked man also realized this, and he immediately closed his mouth, and Ryan felt a little angry in his heart. He kept talking to the cloaked man in a pleasant manner, not because he was afraid of the other's archery skills, but because he felt that the other's lack of Malicious and unwilling to go to war, you can't just get into a fight mindlessly over a fire fox.
It's just that what the cloaked man did was a little too much. He interrupted Ryan's words one after another, and directly assumed that Ryan was going to hurt the fire fox. Obviously, he didn't know Ryan's exquisite control over magic. Of course, Ryan didn’t even want to break this point.
For such a person, Ryan had lost the desire to talk to him. He said lightly: "Well, maybe we didn't think carefully enough. Since you said so, we will leave." After saying this, Ryan put his finger to his mouth and whistled hard. After Colin and the others heard the signal, they immediately reacted and retreated slowly, while Ryan and Allen watched the cloak warily. people to prevent the other party from taking advantage of the situation,
"Go, cute little guy, go back to nature." The cloaked man gently stroked the fire fox a few times and placed it on the ground, and the fire fox sniffed around him with its nose. Then he called "chirp" a few times, as if to express his gratitude, and then disappeared deep into the woods at an extremely fast speed.
After the fire fox ran away without a trace, the cloaked man spoke in a low voice again: "Let the silver-maned wolf king go as well."
Allendo was immediately angry when he heard this. This was the first time he saw someone gesticulating about his magic pet, and Ryan's face also changed slightly. He said in a slightly urgent voice: "Your Excellency, the cloaked man, Regarding that fire fox, we have already made concessions, please do not push further."
"That's your business, greedy guy. Now I'll give you one last chance. I'll count to three. If you don't let the silver-maned wolf king be free, I will have to do it myself."
"It seems that there is no need for communication between us, Your Excellency." Ryan made a gesture, and eight Ryan's arms were waving in the air, which was quite spectacular. Colin and Thomas were already out of combat distance. Now seeing that the other party was pressing forward step by step, they were both angry. They immediately turned around and walked back, each occupying a strong position and preparing to give the other party a lesson.
The air in the woods suddenly became solemn. The cloaked man slowly took off the long bow from his shoulder and said to Ryan: "You have no chance of winning. You should do as I say quickly. I will let you go." But you must swear not to reveal my whereabouts..."
"That's enough." Ryan shouted angrily, and said angrily: "You are simply making trouble unreasonably. Do you understand the relationship between my friend and the silver-maned wolf king? Do you know how to respect others, just like you just said? He said, 'Aren't you imposing your will on us by doing this?'"
"I've known for a long time that you wouldn't agree. Although I have something going on right now, it doesn't take much effort to teach you a lesson."
"Very good." Ryan laughed angrily and said loudly: "Your Excellency, since you said so, let's rely on the law of the jungle to solve the problem. The weak will eat the strong, and the winner will have the final say."
"One." The cloaked man ignored Ryan's words and started counting directly.
