Chapter 631: Sudden Change
Before going to bed at night, everyone set up a guard bell around the tent, sprinkled it with the feces of the ferret, and then arranged the people to keep vigil, and the whole process of vanilla was arranged in an orderly manner, after all, this kind of thing was also taught by the monastery, and Alvin and others personally demonstrated it for her, and it would not be too difficult to imitate it.
For children, staying up late is a chore, but after all, the trainee priest has been trained in mental power, so staying up a little late is not a problem, and 4 people, each for two hours, barely survived.
The next day, everyone got up early, warmed up the leftover food from last night and ate it, and boiled the overnight barbecue and root vegetable leaves into porridge, which didn't taste very good, but it was hot, and after eating, people felt a lot more energetic.
The task of the second day is to go to a target location, everyone packed their luggage and began to set off, along the way over the mountains and rivers, over all kinds of obstacles, this road is full of difficulties, but a few people are not afraid of hardships, coupled with unity and cooperation, a morning time, finally walked more than a third of the distance.
"It's almost there." In a relatively spacious woodland, everyone stopped and rested a little, in such an environment, the field of vision is relatively wide, and it is easy to find any situation, and when it is really attacked, it is not completely impossible to find cover, which is a more suitable resting place.
"Is there a real chance that we're in danger?" The peace of last night's night made the youngest girl wonder like this.
"You can't let your guard down." The red-haired girl rebuked with a serious face, "Even on the outskirts of the forest, there may be dangerous magical beasts, and when you venture outside, you have to watch out for more than just wild beasts. ”
"Who?" Just as everyone was talking, Vanilla's voice suddenly sounded, "Come out, I see you." ”
Hearing this, the two girls turned their heads to look in the direction of vanilla's alert, but the red-haired girl quickly looked in other directions.
"Don't be afraid, it's me." Watched by the three girls, the hidden priest finally walked out of the hiding place helplessly.
"Teacher? How are you! The youngest girl cried out in surprise.
"This ......" The priest who served as the mentor looked embarrassed and helplessly explained to everyone.
"I see, I said that there was no one to protect me, but in fact, there was still a mentor secretly following!" The red-haired girl said.
"Yes, that's it." The priest mentor tucked the long hair around his ear and barely squeezed out a smile, "That...... Can I discuss something with you? ”
"What's the matter?" The red-haired girl asked.
"It's about me being discovered, can you please not tell me?" The priest mentor said, "Don't worry, I will give you a full score for the tutor's score." ”
"...... "Four girls, you look at me, I look at you, it seems that they are exchanging opinions, for this situation, the priest mentor is also very helpless, because he can find the existence of the mentor on the way to the mission, which has already reached the standard of full score, with the intelligence of several people, he must have guessed this. Therefore, the conditions of this mentor are not attractive, and they want the other party to accept them, and to put it bluntly, they expect to get the sympathy of the other party.
"Okay!" The red-haired girl said that there was nothing to lose for them by agreeing to the other party's request, and that it was better to be kind to others than to leave a suspicion.
"Thank you!" The mentor priest smiled wryly, if someone else said this, maybe he could get away with it, but this sentence came from the mouth of the most shrewd red-haired girl, basically this favor was owed.
After knowing that everything was just a false alarm, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and with the presence of the mentor, everyone's vigilance was slightly reduced, but at this time, the accident happened!
"Be careful!" Vanilla's voice rang out, but before her prompt could arrive, the Divine Mentor had already raised his hand to attach a shield of light to himself. A crossbow bolt then landed on the light shield with a crisp crashing sound, and the attacker's first target was indeed the most powerful Divine Mentor. However, the second arrow that followed was aimed at the youngest of the four girls.
"Get out of the way!" The mentor shouted, but it didn't work, the girl who hadn't experienced the battle didn't have time to react, in fact, at the same time as the mentor's voice came out, the crossbow arrow had already been shot, and with the girl's attributes, even if she wanted to, she couldn't have time to dodge. The tutor was helpless, and in the end he could only block the girl with his body.
Burst! A low voice sounded, and the girl who was originally stunned was surprised to find that she was fine, but then a crisp voice sounded, and the light shield in front of her shattered into countless golden fragments, and the body of the priest and mentor shook a little, and supported the ground with a staff, which barely allowed herself to fall. It was only then that the girl saw something that frightened her - blood! A black arrow peeked through the Mentor's chest, and at the same time, a large amount of blood splattered out.
After all, it is an eight-year-old girl, seeing such a scene, the whole brain becomes blank, but the mentor will not lose judgment in this situation, can break the shield with one arrow and hit himself hard, the strength of the other party is definitely several times higher than his own, this mission, he is definitely planted. There are barbs on the crossbow arrows, which will open after being shot into the human body, and forcibly pulling them out will cause huge damage, and because of the wound, the blood of the priest and mentor cannot be filled, and he can only maintain his life through healing magic, and the injury will be aggravated when he moves, so there is no chance to run. The only thing that can be done now is to send out the distress signal, and then try to cover the evacuation of a few children, although there is little hope of success, but at least have to fight, and the rest can only be left to fate.
"What?" The girl was stunned for a moment after hearing the tutor's instructions, although she was young, she was not really ignorant, she knew what it meant to leave the other party at such a time, and a look of unbearability suddenly appeared on her face.
"Let's go! You can't change anything by staying here! The red-haired girl reached out and grabbed her young companion, and the tall girl next to her hesitated, but followed the two. But after running a few steps, everyone found that there was still one person who had not followed.
"Vanilla, what are you going to do?" The red-haired girl turned her head and shouted.
"I'll stop the enemy, you go first."
"No kidding, what enemy can you resist?" The red-haired girl looked furious.
"Vanilla, let's go, now is not the time to be a hero." The mentor's voice rang out.
"Mentor, you also go along, you are injured, and you can't exert your combat effectiveness at all." Vanilla said, her expression calm as usual, as if she was not facing a catastrophe of life and death at all.
However, the enemy did not watch a few people rub against each other, and just as they hesitated, another crossbow arrow shot at Vanilla, and the crossbow arrow was so fast that Vanilla had no time to dodge. With the last of his strength, the Priest Mentor released the Divine Shelter to protect Vanilla once, but this skill also confined Vanilla to its place.
2.5 seconds, the enemy wants to prepare for the next attack in this time, and at the moment when Vanilla's life is in danger, the red-haired girl shook off her two companions and ran back in the direction of Vanilla.
