Zeno probably will never meet an elf weaker than her in this life.
Elves have always been the darlings of nature. They are like fish in water among the forest trees. No race can adapt to nature better than elves, but this light elf is just the opposite. She is reckless like a person who doesn't know how to survive in the forest. Human beings, just now she was tripped by the vines under her feet, and the clothes that were originally clean were also rubbed with mud.
Zeno followed her silently, watching helplessly as she made himself more and more embarrassed.
Finally, when she was about to enter the territory of high-level monsters, he couldn't stand it anymore, and blocked her way.
I have to say that the dark elf is indeed a good tracker, even Tang Ming couldn't feel his aura, so when the dark elf boy suddenly appeared in front of her and blocked her way, Tang Ming was taken aback. Jump.
The boy didn't say anything to her, but his attitude was very clear, he just didn't want her to go any further.
Tang Ming hesitated for a moment, not quite understanding why he blocked her way.
It would be impossible if it was the territory of the dark elves, because after making sure that Selux could not be attracted, she changed the direction and started walking all the way east, while the territory of the dark elves was in the west.
"Well... is there any problem ahead?" The dark elves were all taciturn. If they hadn't asked, Tang Ming probably wouldn't have taken the initiative to talk to her.
Maybe it's dark elf forbidden land over there or something? If you ask clearly, you can also walk around.
Zeno felt that there was nothing to hide, so he directly told the truth, "Going further in will be dangerous."
"..."
Danger is certain, Tang Ming has already figured out that since Selux does not appear, then she can only find a way to leave the dark forest. Leaving the dark forest is bound to pass through this "high-risk area", and just when she is about to set foot He suddenly appeared in that 'high-risk area', so it can only be said that his appearance was not a coincidence, he clearly followed her all the way.
So I didn't meet a monster along the way, and it's because of this...
Tang Ming was a little puzzled, "Did you follow me all the time? I was able to get here safely because you helped me drive away those monsters?"
He nodded.
Tang Ming didn't quite understand what the dark elf in front of him was thinking. The light elf and the dark elf were almost hostile. At this moment, it was fine for him to let her go, but he followed her all the way to protect her safety.
Although he missed the opportunity to lure Selux out because of this, he had good intentions anyway, and Selux may have left with peace of mind seeing that such a 'clan' of hers was silently protecting her. .
She had no reason to stay in the dark forest, but if she wanted to get out, she had to go through the road behind the boy.
Zeno found that after he admitted that he followed her all the way, the weak light elf fell silent, and he suddenly realized that there was something wrong with his approach.
The dark elves are a very personal race. They have their own pride. It is extremely disrespectful for him to think that the other party is weak and protect him. If he encounters such a thing himself, he will probably become angry. It is also very possible to get serious and do it directly.
"Sorry." He pursed his lips, as if he had done something wrong, and sincerely apologized to her.
Before Tang Ming could figure out how to communicate with the young man in front of him, he was dazed by his sudden apology. Fortunately, there were no dark elves in the designated strategy role, otherwise communication would be a big problem.
She was stunned for a while before she understood what he was sorry for, "...you have been protecting me, but I should thank you instead."
"But I have a place to go, even if it's really dangerous there, it doesn't matter."
Zeno thought for a moment and said, "Then I will accompany you."
"No need, I've already troubled you a lot." In order to express his determination and increase his persuasiveness, Tang Ming said, "It was because I trespassed on your territory without permission. Dead, if I put you in danger because of me, I will definitely feel sorry, so I can go to the dangerous place by myself, please don't continue to control me."
Zenuo has never met a person like Tang Ming since he was so old. He is obviously so weak, and he still considers the safety of others when he is in danger. The environment he lives in is too harsh, even if he returns half dead. In the clan, they were just thrown to the priest for treatment. No one cared about why he was injured, nor would they remind him to be careful next time.
He didn't expect that now it was a light elf who was worried about his safety.
Tang Ming didn't know what a pure white lotus she was made into by her brain. Seeing that he didn't speak, she took it as his acquiescence and walked straight past him.
She didn't take two steps before she realized that this dark elf didn't even want to hide it this time, and actually followed behind her so openly.
Dark elves are really warmhearted.
After trying to persuade him to no avail, she could only let him follow. Although the place to go next would be dangerous, there was no need to lead Selux out, so as long as nothing was left behind, the monsters could track him down. Their traces are fine, which is quite good for Tang Ming.
After walking for a while, Zeno found that the presence of the light elf beside him became weaker and weaker as she gradually deepened, and her breath seemed to blend into this forest. Without her existence.
Zeno realized that it's not that she can't hide herself, but that she never wanted to hide before. It's almost the instinct of all elves to control herself and blend into the natural environment, and he just thinks that because of her attitude. She is very weak, and I draw conclusions about her based on subjective impressions, and do unnecessary things.
Zeno reflected on himself as he walked.
Then he found that the light elf walking in front stopped suddenly. He looked in front of her and found a young monster lying on the ground rolling.
This area is the domain of high-level monsters, so the guardian of this cub is naturally not easy to mess with. Tang Ming decided to make a detour immediately.
But even the cubs were not ordinary cubs. When they approached, it noticed them, turned over and got up from the ground in an instant, opened its mouth and yelled at them.
Zeno frowned, and immediately grabbed Tang Ming who was about to make a detour. He hugged her horizontally, jumped onto the branch with ease, and followed the branch of the tree at an extremely fast speed towards the place where she was at the beginning. Decided where to go and ran.
It seems that normal elves can do this kind of movement, but Tang Ming didn't grow up in the forest. Not long after she came to this world, she and Olivia entered the territory of the Dragon Clan, and was then killed by Selux. The abductor has always lived in the underground palace, and she has never had the opportunity to try this kind of difficult action.
The surrounding scenery quickly receded, and their current height was about four or five meters above the ground.
They had just run less than a kilometer when they heard a loud roar coming from the direction behind them. After listening carefully, it was obviously the adult version of the cry of the previous cub. The cry of the cub was to call it. Family, Zeno's sudden action in this way is obviously to speed up the movement.
Although the efficiency is much higher, he is still hugging someone, no matter how fast he is, he will still be caught up.
The dark forest is mostly dark at night. Although it was daytime when she came, it was completely dark after she had been tossing for so long, but even in such a dim environment, she could still see in the dark forest. To something darker than night.
After staying in the underground palace for four years, Tang Ming's night vision ability has also improved a lot. Although she can't see clearly what is chasing them, she can easily distinguish it from the night.
"It's not easy for you..." The quality of life is not guaranteed, and there are such things around the territory that I don't know what they are.
Tang Ming just said casually, who knew that Zeno almost fell from the tree without stepping on his feet, the things behind his pause quickly approached, and a dark mist hit their direction.
Zeno dodged, but also fell to the ground at the same time.
His arm was scratched by the mist, even the wound was emitting black air, maybe the black air
With the effect of making people lose consciousness, Zeno fell down again as soon as he stood up, and fell into a coma.
When Tang Ming was thinking about whether he could deal with the unknown creature behind him, he suddenly heard a strange female voice.
"Zenuo? And... light elves...?" It was a female dark elf. She squatted on a tree branch and looked down at them. Her eyes moved from Zeno to Tang Ming with great interest, "It's really strange. .”
With the current situation, there was no time to ask who she was, so she simply asked the dark elf who was clearly planning to watch the show, "Do you know him? Please take him back safely, please."
She didn't even give the dark elf time to answer, so she stuffed the unconscious Zeno into the bushes, raised her hand and threw a basic spell at the monster that had already chased and could see the outline, to ensure that she could draw the monster while retaining her strength. If you live in hatred, withdraw quickly.
That strange dark elf is different from the dark elf who seems to be called Zeno. She is an adult dark elf who has accepted all the concepts and temperaments of dark elves. Tang Ming really has no way to ensure that asking her for help will be useful, but at least As a member of the same race, she should at least be willing to take Zeno back.
According to the position that Zeno roughly said before, it should not be far from the border of the dark forest at this time, and she should be able to leave the dark forest before being overtaken as long as she lasts for a while.
Most of the creatures in the dark forest are territorial. They will not leave their territory easily, let alone the area of the dark forest, so as long as they escape, they will be safe for the time being.
I don't know if that strange dark elf did something, but the speed of the monster that was already approaching quickly slowed down, giving Tang Ming a chance to distance himself again.
The difficulty of jumping up and down the tree is too great. Tang Ming felt that it was a bit dangerous to experiment in this situation. If she took it off, she would die. So even if the speed was not as fast as Zeno's before, she still had no choice. seek death.
At last she saw the light that belonged to the outside world, and the flat, barren land beyond the borders of the dark forest.
Tang Ming had the illusion that she had cleared the game after running out. She stepped into the land outside the dark forest. Before she could relax, her feet felt as if she was entangled by something, and she was pulled back violently. .
The monster had already chased to the border. It seemed that it really couldn't leave the border of the dark forest and stood still in the darkness. The misty tentacles wrapped around her legs as if they had entities, and directed her towards the dark forest again. Direction to drag.
When Tang Ming was about to twist the water dragon, a dazzling light suddenly flashed by her side.
The long sword glowing with silver light easily cut through the black mist, and the entity was like a black mass, making it hard to see what kind of monster it was, and quickly retracted all the mist as if feeling severe pain. , instantly disappeared into the darkness.
Tang Ming breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no aura of monsters around.
She was grateful and wanted to thank the person who helped her, but she stopped when she saw the other person's face.
The boy holding the long sword turned to look at her. His facial features were no longer as immature as when he was young. The 14-year-old boy already looked like a future knight. His golden hair was as shining as before. The long sword in his hand and the uniform of the Illuminati Sect further complemented his elegant and modest demeanor without losing momentum.
He held out his hand to her.
Tang Ming grabbed his slender hand, which was still slender even wearing white gloves, and followed his strength to get up from the ground.
"Finally found you." He showed her a gentle smile. He has grown up under the light of the God of Light since he was a child, and his gestures are holy and dignified. "Although I have known your name from others, but According to the agreement, this should be the occasion for us to exchange names."
"My name is Anos, can you tell me your name?"
At the beginning, there was indeed an agreement to exchange names after the next meeting, but I didn't expect that it would be brought up suddenly after four years, and it would have the effect of killing the sky.
Tang Ming didn't expect that Anos would be the first person he met. He didn't seem surprised that he would meet her here. It was more like he already knew that she would be here, so he came here .
So where did that stupid, deceitful and innocent Anos go
Anos got the answer he wanted, repeated her name contentedly, and said, "This place is not very safe yet, in order to avoid unnecessary danger, please go back to the Holy See with me first."
He led her to leave, but Tang Ming didn't move.
Anos asked suspiciously: "What's the matter? If you are too tired to walk, although it is rude, I can carry you back."
"Anos... Did you come here because you knew I was here?"
"Well, there is indeed news that you will appear in this area at this time." He took out a note and handed it to Tang Ming, "At first I thought it was a prank, but since it is possible, Then even if it’s a waste of time, it’s necessary.”
The disappearance of the children who participated in the preparatory test of St. Niard College caused considerable controversy at the beginning. It was only when he came forward that he barely suppressed it.
Not only Saint Niard College wants to find the missing elf, but other races are also very concerned about the development of the matter, but one year, two years, three years and four years, until now things have not made any progress. When he was about to be forgotten, Anos received such a note.
He has a very deep impression on the elf girl who was mistaken for an angel by him in childhood, because he didn't have many friends in the Holy See back then, he was gifted with intelligence and extraordinary talent, and he was cultivated by the people of the Holy See as the future of the Holy See , the peers around are either in awe or jealousy, no one is willing to come to him and make friends with him.
So even if the dragons and elves who came at that time did not have the idea of being friendly with him, as long as he could make friends with his peers, even a rival would be very happy for him, not to mention that the girl's attitude towards him was quite ordinary. Just like what she was facing was just an ordinary person, this was something he had never encountered before.
He had been looking forward to meeting again for a whole month. During the month, he practiced swordsmanship even harder and practiced what the elders taught him. All his efforts were to show a better version of himself when they met again. other side.
But he didn't expect that one month later, instead of friends and rivals, the disappearance of the elf and a completely enraged dragon would be ushered in.
Tang Ming took the note in his hand, feeling very strange, "Where did you get this news?"
"Today I originally came to the nearby area to collect some materials needed by the Holy See, which can also be regarded as a kind of experience, and then the crystal nucleus of the beheaded monster suddenly shattered, and this note appeared in the crystal nucleus. "
"..."
"I think maybe it was the guidance of the God of Light that led me to find you." At that time, the disappearance of the elf caused the dragon to be furious. He once wanted to talk to Ronald, but the angry dragon obviously didn't listen to anyone. , he messed up Leo Continent wantonly, so he almost turned over and continued to search.
Although Anos also wanted to find the person who could look at him with ordinary eyes, but several big figures in St. Niard College were helpless, so the situation must not be resolved by a dragon rampage.
He has been constantly improving himself over the years, trying to get in touch with the interior of the Holy See more quickly. On the one hand, he also hopes to get clues about the error in the portal. Now the clues that suddenly appeared let him find her in this way. Apart from the guidance of the God of Light, he couldn't think of any reason that could be explained.
Tang Ming felt a little subtle when she heard him say the three words "God of Light", because she still remembered that these three words appeared side by side with another "God of Darkness" on her list of optional targets.
But this note is indeed a bit of a concern.
She opened the folded note, which indeed contained what Anos said, but compared to the content, the presence of the font that made Tang Ming feel familiar with the explosion was so strong that it could not be ignored.
What kind of guidance from the God of Light, this is clearly the word of Selux!
Tang Ming felt that she had wrongly blamed Anos.
Anos is still the stupid Anos before.
