Chapter 56 Six Color Elves
After Thacker threw me on his horse, I immediately reacted and shouted to the four guards to follow me. Then I pulled my horse and ran, not caring who caught up or who fell behind, because my life was the most important thing. I was originally planning to find Thacker's retreat route and then approach him, but the reality was cruel. After diving into the dense forest, I almost lost my direction immediately. I just ran forward desperately, and I didn't even dare to look back for a while, for fear that there was a flaming lion beast following behind me.
From this moment on, I regretted following Thacker to this damn place. I thought it was a hunting trip, but it turned into hunting monsters, and in the end, I was hunted by monsters. I wonder what happened to that beauty? I hope she didn't get used as a snack by the monsters. . . . .
I rode my horse for a long time, thinking about all sorts of things, before I dared to turn around to check the situation behind me. Fortunately, not only were there no monsters behind me, but there were also two guards following me, which made me feel relieved.
After galloping for a long time, I finally stopped on a mound with good visibility. Holding back my panting body, I waited for my two subordinates to approach.
"How are the other two brothers? Did you see anything happen to them? Are you all right?" As soon as they approached, I immediately asked about the two guards' situation. I did this on purpose, hehe!
"Thank you for your concern, sir. We two are fine. The other two brothers got on their horses late, and they were stopped by a flame lion beast that was chasing Lord Sack on the way here, so they ran to another way. But we saw that they were quite far away from those monsters, so we guess that the two brothers should be fine." The two guards immediately showed touched expressions and hurriedly told them everything they had seen.
"Damn it, it's good that nothing happened. If there was anything wrong, I would go back and beat up Matthew and make him understand the difference between hunting for fun and catching monsters. If I knew it was about catching monsters, I would not dare to come even if I died. What should I do now?"
"Sir, I think we can't go back. We don't know if those flame lion beasts are still on the road. Even if we meet one on the road, we can't deal with it!" After hearing what I said, a guard immediately reminded me that I could not return by the same route.
"I don't think we can even go to find Lord Sack. Who knows how long those Flame Lions have been following them? If we go looking for them rashly, we may run into a group of monsters. Damn it, how could those monsters appear from behind us? Did they follow us all the way? Now we don't even know how to get back!"
"Sir, we can go back from the right side. I just saw that the Flame Lion Beasts basically passed by our left side. If we go back from the right side, the chances of encountering those beasts may be much less... But... But if we go there, we will be closer to the Longyue Forest. Although there are fewer powerful beasts there, there are various elves, which still pose a great threat to us..." The guard's voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke. He probably realized how bad his suggestion was.
"Damn it, doesn't that mean we almost have no chance of going back alive? Damn it, it's all Thack's fault, if he hadn't suggested coming to this damn place, would we be so unlucky? Besides, it's also his fault that his strength is too weak. He calls himself the Silver Knight and the closest thing to a Paladin, but he can't even deal with a few monsters. It's simply shameful..." In a rage, I started to vent, and even Thack who saved me suffered.
"Sir, this... this does not seem to be the legion commander's fault. Maybe you don't know, the largest flame lion beast is not an ordinary monster, he is the flame lion beast king. It is very remarkable that Lord Sack can beat him like this..." Perhaps because he was afraid of my scolding, the soldier defended Sack but his voice was very low.
"Never mind, let's go around in the direction you mentioned, the Longyue Forest. Or Lord Sack and the others will also go around in that direction. We just need to walk slowly and be careful along the way." It's not my nature to stay here and wait for death, so I'll just take it one step at a time.
Since there was no other way, the two soldiers naturally followed my lead. We killed several small animals along the way, and I roasted them like beggars' chickens to prevent the aroma from attracting unnecessary trouble. I always thought that we encountered so many Yanshi beasts, probably because of the aroma of our barbecue.
When the two guards were expected to have entered the Long Moon Forest, the three of us immediately tensed up, and the three crossbows kept turning in suspicious directions. In order to reduce the possibility of being discovered, the three of us tore off our clothes and tied them to the horses' hooves, and put muzzles on the horses to prevent any unexpected noises.
"Whoosh... Boom!" There was a whistling sound, and then a huge fireball exploded more than ten meters away from us. The three of us were scared to death. If it had exploded right here, we three might have died.
He quickly fell to the ground and used his horse as a shield to protect the three of us. At the same time, I carefully observed the surroundings. Several consecutive flying fireballs turned the silent forest upside down.
"My Lord, it's not directed at us, you see?"
"Let's go check it out!" It looked like the magician had the upper hand. I wondered if they were ours. I didn't know what to say to that idiot guard. How could such a scattered attack method be aimed at us
After tying the horses together, I led two guards to the direction of the battle. Soon, the three of us saw a small clearing in the jungle where the battle was taking place. There, a very delicate little girl was fighting a giant wolf with boar-like fangs, and on the girl's back, there was a little man with multiple colors crawling, and even had 6-color wings on his back. . . . .
From the battle scene, the little girl must have been at the end of her strength, and could only use her own super flexibility and jumping ability to dodge the fireballs ejected from the wolf's mouth. The wolf didn't seem so lucky either, as it was slashed in the abdomen and head, and red-black blood was flowing out from there. It seemed that the wolf was trying hard to burn the girl to death with fireballs. Fireballs flew out of the wolf's mouth one after another, almost setting half of the forest on fire.
