The whole battle was generally thrilling, and Hela had reminded Ann that the Scythe Demon had the ability to cut through the position, so whether it was the Wall of Goodness or being close to the Scythe Demon, it was all in Ann's calculations. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Show the enemy weakness, and then launch a thunderous blow.

After all, the Scythe Demon is agile, if it weren't for his greed, as long as he wanted to run, he probably wouldn't be able to catch up with it. An Yizhi had no choice but to use his body as bait to lure him into the bait.

As a result, the plan went smoothly, but it was also very dangerous, and the slightest mistake was now a headless one.

"How far is it to get to the cave, we have to rush there as fast as we can"

After healing his bleeding neck with a slanderous wound, John took out a clean handkerchief to wipe away the glaring bloodstains, and Ann asked Elph with a gesture.

"The shortest road needs to pass through the beetle tribe"

"Then get around them a little, even if it is dangerous, it must be done as soon as possible"

Knowing that the matter was urgent, Elph nodded and led the way.

There were 5 demons mixed in a team of tree elf patrols, if it wasn't broken by An Yizhi and others, it is estimated that three more demons would be mixed in when they go back, so I am afraid that the tree elf tribe has been infiltrated by demons.

However, An Yizhi didn't care about the life or death of the tree elves, after all, the system did not require An Yizhi to ensure the number of surviving tree elves, and more importantly, this team of patrols did not go back, and soon the demons realized that their plan was broken, so they had to race against time to re-strengthen the seal of the demon lord before the demons coerced the tree elves to attack.

Instead of being in the treetops this time, Elph was on the ground to guide Ann and John, and the task of scouting and guarding was left to Hela. Although Elf is more competent than Hela as a Dryad, when she sees other Dryads, others will also see her, and it is much safer to be Hela, who cannot tell whether Hela is a bird or an alchemist even with the eyes of a Dryad.

It is said to be the closest route, but in fact, it is at least more than an hour away from the cave at the source of the river, which is still the result of the local natives leading the way, if you let An Yi point to himself......

- He is afraid that he will die of old age in this natural labyrinth of trees.

Obviously a few hours ago, he was comfortably drinking fruit wine in the tribe, but now he had to race against time to hurry. Elph naturally wouldn't get tired of traveling through the forest as a tree elf, but Ann Yizhi and John couldn't bear it. Neither of them is a guy with good physical strength, and they have to stop and rest for a while after marching for more than 30 minutes, although there is still some physical strength left, but An Yizhi is in order to be cautious, while maintaining a high speed of action, he also silently calculates his and John's physical strength, and always maintains one-third of his physical strength to deal with possible emergencies.

During the second break, Elph told Ann that this was a frequent area of the Beetle Tribe, and that they could only rest here for a few minutes, otherwise there would be a high chance of loading someone from the Beetle Tribe.

If you can, it's best to pass here as soon as possible, but An Yizhi can quickly recover his strength by eating, and John doesn't have this treatment, this girl is already too tired to walk, if you use the Phantom Pony to rush the target, it is too big, it is easy to be spotted by the sound of footsteps, and the three of them have to stay in this more dangerous area for a while.

"That's mountain spring water, that's great"

After a few hours of action, John's kettle was already empty, and he couldn't help but pounce on it when he saw the clear spring water flowing from the crack in the stone.

Thanks to the fact that the system did not turn on the settings such as hunger and thirst this time, An Yizhi would have been thirsty a long time ago, and he didn't bring a water bottle.

"You can't drink it, the water is bitter ......"

Before Alf could stop it, John had already pounced on it and took two sips, and when he heard this, he looked at Alf suspiciously and said:

"It's not bitter, it's sweet"

"No way, the springs near our tribe have become bitter, and the springs in the erosion area still contain toxins"

Elph took a sip of the spring water in her hand, but it was not bitter, and the bracelet with the poison detection effect on her wrist did not glow, and the taste was exactly the same as the sweet spring water before.

"I'm afraid that's why"

Ann pointed to the white stone buried in the ground and said:

"This thing has a strong positive energy, the toxins in the spring near him should be purified, and this thing should also be the sealing stone that seals the demon lord, and the demon we encountered before is probably going to destroy the sealing stone."

An Yizhi took out the map and marked the location of the sealing stones encountered on the road, and if they were connected in order, they could form a figure-7 symbol.

Looking left and right, I can't tell what kind of magic circle Mi Sizhuo used when he sealed the demon lord in the first place, it is estimated that a few sealing stones are only a small part of the magic circle, and at least a third of the position Tu Hela can identify what it is.

John poured a stomach full of mountain spring water, burped loudly without any image, and took out the kettle to fill it again.

Sometimes this girl really doesn't act like a girl......

At this moment Hela flew down from the treetops, landed on Ann's shoulder, and said:

"I saw a column of smoke not far away"

"It's normal, maybe someone from the beetle tribe is making a fire to cook"

"No, it's not normal"

Elf said vigilantly:

"We Dryads never make a fire to cook food, and we use cold light for lighting."

An Yizhi thought about it for a while, and it seemed that it was true, the food he saw at the banquet before was fruit or insect sashimi, and there was really no cooked food.

"Where's the location?"

"The west side, about a kilometre away from us"

Elph's face turned pale in an instant:

"That's the direction of the beetle tribe, something must have happened!"

At the same time, An Yizhi also saw thick black smoke rising from that direction......

–‐‐——–‐‐——

A corner of the Misty Forest, where the Dryad soldiers gather.

There are more than 20,000 elite soldiers from all the Dryad tribes that inhabit the Misty Forest, and the area it occupies alone is enough to be considered a forest.

Unlike humans, the Dryads do not have the concept of a country, and although there is a nominal Elven King, the Elven King will hardly command other Dryad tribes, and in normal times, everyone goes their own way, and there are hundreds of tribes in the entire Misty Forest.

Recently, the Elven King uncharacteristically issued an order to the tribes, asking them to bring their most elite warriors together, saying that the Misty Forest was facing a catastrophe and that all the Dryads needed to work together to overcome the difficulties.

Although the leaders and elders of the various tribes did not know what the disaster was that the elven king was talking about, the king was the king, even if it was only in name, no one questioned these tree elves, and hurriedly brought the most elite warriors to help.

That's why Elph's tribe was almost scared, so many dryad warriors were enough to attack a human state!

However, almost three months have passed since the assembly order was issued, and the Elven King has never revealed the reason for calling them, and has only repeated and repeated every day that each tribe has sent people to patrol the Misty Forest. Even if there is doubt, the only answer that can be obtained is the sentence 'the crisis comes from outside the misty forest, strengthen vigilance'.

MacDonald, the leader of the Beetle Tribe and the Night Watchman, leans against the tree with a grass root in his mouth, contemplating the meaning of the Elven King's unusual behavior.

He has known the Elven King since childhood, and even his friend is resourceful, and his arrangement must have his plan, but ...... It's also weird.

MacDonald tried to meet with the Elven King several times, but was rejected all of them, which made him feel bad.

Something really big could have happened lately!

The last time he had this kind of hunch was more than 100 years ago, when MacDonald personally killed the general of the human army who attacked the Tree Elf tribe at night with an arrow, and led his compatriots to defeat the humans and drive them out of the Misty Forest, so he was given the title of Night Watcher, and it was awarded by the Elven King himself.

But he couldn't figure out the source of this sense of crisis, was it human?

MacDonald clearly remembers that he and the Elven King went to the edge of the Misty Forest to sign an armistice with humans, but more than 100 years have passed, and it is not an exception for humans to keep their promises, could it be that humans want to invade the Misty Forest?

As soon as this thought arose, he denied it himself, because he had sent his best scouts to the nearby human states to check, and there was no trace of any army on the human side, and it was not at all like it was preparing for war.

Or is it something to do with the recent mutation in the Misty Forest?

MacDonald had a headache, he was a good warrior, a good archer, and a good father, but he was not a wise man, and even the wisest elder of the tribe did not understand the purpose of the Elven King's move.

The amount of food and grass needed for an army of more than 20,000 people was staggering, and even the richest Elven King's Oak tribe could not feed everyone for long, and it was mainly dependent on supplies from various tribes for three months, otherwise the soldiers would have already begun to starve.

There is no goal to fight, and everyone is not allowed to leave if they don't fight the Elf King, I don't know how long it will take.

He spat out the grass roots in frustration, just as he saw a small tree elf walking towards him.

The tree elf and he were also friends who grew up together, but MacDonald belonged to the beetle tribe, and he and the elven king were from the same tribe, so he became the elven king's guard when he grew up, and recently passed through him to convey orders.

"Macdonald, the king said it was your beetle tribe's turn to send people on patrol."

"Morris, you have been with the king for a long time, do you know what the king is planning?"

Maurice shook his head:

"Do it, even I don't know what the king is thinking"

"Alas...... I don't know when it's going to be a head."

MacDonald sighed, he had asked his tribe to send people to patrol several times before, but he had prevaricated with various reasons, but this was not always the way, MacDonald was ready to lead the team personally in this patrol, and when he came back, he must ask the elf king to understand.

He's not afraid of fighting, and he's not afraid of death, but at least let's understand who we're going to fight against, right?

Just as MacDonald was about to order a few good scouts, he saw a commotion coming from the camp gate, and a bloodied tree elf chanting MacDonald's name.

"Yar? What did you encounter? ”

The tree elf happened to be from the MacDonald tribe, named Yael, and was his nephew, and because his wife was waiting to give birth, he was not gathered with the elven king.

When Yael saw MacDonald, he seemed to have lost all his strength, and fell to the ground with a pop:

"Ministry, Tribal ......"

"What's wrong with the tribe!"

MacDonald's bad premonition came true, and Yael said weakly:

"A lot of demons, they attacked the tribe"

After that, he closed his eyes and fainted.
