"There's no way around it, and I've miscalculated her movement speed. It's good that I didn't get entangled by them, and if I was pestered there and waited for another person to come back, it would be troublesome. ”

As soon as Ulrik finished speaking, Clami behind him comforted him as he emerged from the grass. For Kramy, the previous raid was nothing more than an unplanned dessert, and the actual entrée hadn't yet been served.

Rather than a dessert that relies on luck, Clammy trusts his main course.

Of course, if the previous raid alone could directly break through the magic crystal pillar of the Red Country, Krami would gladly accept it. But even if the raid fails, as long as he doesn't suffer any losses, he won't care too much.

"Hmph, I knew that I should have brought Atuo with me when I first came out. As long as I don't let him leave my side, I won't be afraid to even meet those people in the Red Country during the search. It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

Although he was comforted by Krami, Ulrik was unhappy when he thought that he had obviously attacked the opponent's magic crystal pillar just now, but because the opponent's brave man had to return early, he had to retreat quickly after a short fight.

Ulrike understood what Clammy was saying, and he knew that there was no benefit in staying there. After the other party's support arrived, they had already lost the opportunity to directly break the opponent's magic crystal stone pillar. But whether he understood this truth or not, Ulrike was still unhappy.

"You...... Wait, something isn't right. ”

Hearing his emotions in Ulrik's tone, Cramie shook his head amusefully and was about to continue to comfort him for a few words, but before the words came out, he noticed the strangeness around him, and immediately cut off the words he was about to speak, and pulled Ulrike who was about to continue walking with a vigilant face.

"What's wrong? What did you find? Pulled by Clamy, and hearing his reminder again, Ulrike's face also showed a vigilant look, and he looked around vigilantly, but he didn't notice the slightest strange existence around him.

Although he didn't find anything to be wary of in the surroundings, out of trust in Kramy, Ulrike did not let down his guard posture, but further increased his vigilance. An enemy that can make yourself undetectable is definitely a tricky one.

"It smells of blood, and the fresh smell is still the smell of blood that has just appeared." Gently twitching his nose, Krami's gaze wandered around for a strange presence.

'The smell of blood...... This is really ......'Zhuang Xiaoyuan, who had been observing the two of them since Ulrike and Clamie appeared and was looking for an opportunity to sneak attack, never thought that it would be exposed like this.

Although he was not found out, even the other party was probably not sure if he was still here. However, the discovery of the strange is not a good thing in itself, which also makes Ulrik and the others on guard, and it is not easy to make a move.

And the so-called smell of blood, Zhuang Xiaoyuan could only smile bitterly. Because the smell of blood was the mouthful of blood that Zhuang Xiaoyuan spit out before because of the attack of the weak attribute.

However, we may be able to take advantage of this a little. Thinking of the place where he was resting just now and the mouthful of blood that he spit on the treetops, Zhuang Xiaoyuan squinted, leaned against the big tree behind him, and the muscles of his whole body relaxed, allowing himself to completely enter a state of concealment.

In itself, the Okita Soji form that Zhuang Xiaoyuan is now using is more suitable for assassins than the saber of swordsmanship. The fast-moving shrinkage combined with the breath blocking is definitely a nightmare for everyone.

Even if he doesn't have the skill of breath blocking now, Zhuang Xiaoyuan is difficult for people to find out when he adjusts his breathing to hide with all his strength. Even this state of concealment is comparable to that of a low-level aura.

It's just that compared to the complete concealment of the breath, this self-carried concealment will be exposed at the moment of action. Whether it is attacking or moving, as long as Zhuang Xiaoyuan makes a move, it is easy to be discovered. Therefore, this ability is only suitable for fixed-point concealment.

"Where does it smell of blood? Why didn't I smell it? Speaking of which, there are still a lot of wild beasts and small animals in this forest, are they left behind by fighting each other? ”

Scanning the surroundings vigilantly, after hearing Clammy's words, Ulrik also made a few inhalation movements vigorously, but did not smell any blood at all. Thinking of creatures such as wild boars and hares that he had encountered during the search before, Ulrik raised an eyebrow and guessed.

"No, my sense of smell can't be wrong, this smell is human blood. This direction...... In the trees? Frowning, Krami sniffed carefully again, and finally found the direction where the smell of blood came from, and the actual location of the smell of blood made Krami feel a little surprised.

I didn't expect that the place where the smell of blood came from was actually on the tree, so it's no wonder that I didn't smell the direction of the smell of blood in the first place. After all, compared to the southeast and northwest, the upper and lower sides do become blind spots at some times.

"In the trees? It doesn't seem like there's anybody, so I'll take a look. ”

Hearing Clamie say about the tree, Ulrik was slightly stunned, and then glanced up along Clammy's line of sight, but did not find the expected figure on the tree, looking at the empty branches, Ulrik frowned, and walked directly towards the tree where Clamie's sight was the focus of his eyes at the same time as the voice came out.

There was no time to stop it, and when Krami noticed Ulrik's action, Ulrique had already come to the strange tree, and then jumped directly onto the branches of the tree.

“…… Be careful. Shaking his head a little helplessly, in the face of Ulrik's actions that were faster than words, Cramie could only remind him to be careful, while taking out his sniper rifle and preparing to shoot at any time.

"Is there really blood? Clammy, your nose is too strong, isn't it? Looking at the shape of this bloodstain, it is supposed that someone once rested here. It was a sudden vomit of blood, and the person who was resting was injured, and it was an injury inside the body. ”

Jumping up the branches of the tree and looking back and forth on a few nearby branches, Ulrik found a bright red stain of blood. Noticing the shape of the bloodstains, Ulrique inferred accordingly.

"Someone has rested here...... Oh no, this person may be the one left in the Red Country, and maybe she's attacking our stronghold right now. After chewing on the words that Ulrik had deduced from the bloodstains, Clammy's face changed slightly, and he thought of his own stronghold.

Now their location is not much distance from their own stronghold, and with the movement speed of their strength, they can reach it in more than ten seconds with full acceleration. And the man who rested here had undoubtedly discovered their stronghold.

"Let's go back quickly, maybe we can still block that person." Hearing Clammy's words, Ulrik's face also changed significantly, and he wanted to jump off the tree.

However, just as Ulrik was about to descend from the tree, a sharp knife light quietly appeared, as if out of thin air, slashing towards Ulrique's waist in a strange trajectory.
