Chapter Twenty-Six: The Forest Shrouded in Conspiracy
After saying goodbye to Fado, Henry and Ares headed north with him, and after about two kilometers of travel, they began camping. Henry was running out of food, and he had eaten more in one meal than he had in three days since he brought the brown bear. There are less than ten days of bread left, and less than fifty kilograms of bacon and cured meat. Luckily, there's plenty of salt to go out on a wild trip without food and drink, but you can't go without salt. After setting up camp, Henry took Ares to the river to prepare for the hunt. Henry lay quietly on the left side of the bushes, and the brown bear on the other side. After a while came a herd of deer drinking water. Ares rushed out of the jaw to send the deer fleeing in terror, and Henry raised his crossbow and pulled the trigger. The bolt hit an adult stag in the neck, and the blood flowed out, and Ares took the opportunity to rush up and pounce on the prey, but did not bite it. After struggling a few times, the stag tilted his head and resigned himself to his fate. Henry stepped forward with a scimitar and cut the deer's trachea, ending its pain.
After putting the loot directly into the dimensional bag, he turned around and took Ares back to the camp. After lighting the fire, he poured out the carcass of the deer and began to dispose of it. The first thing to do is to cut off the head, and then use a knife to peel the skin. After briefly washing the peel with water, use a knife to scrape the remaining fat on the top. After scraping it clean, wash it with clean water again, find a branch, hang it next to the fire, and dry it slowly. The rest of the venison was cut into several pieces and placed in a dimensional bag. Anyway, the temperature of the half-plane connected to his dimensional bag is not high, and it will not break for a few days. Today's dinner is to boil the deer offal, wash the liver, stomach, heart and intestines, then cut it into small pieces and throw it into the pot, and put a small amount of ginger and garlic. Cover the pot and let the fire slowly simmer the deliciousness inside. Ares stared at the food in the pot with bright eyes and began to swirl around the campfire, clearly hungry. Henry smiled and pulled it by the ear and pulled it to his side and said, "Alright, alright, wait, don't worry." ”
Half an hour later, a strong fragrance wafted from the pot, and Ares couldn't help it, and several times he tried to get close to the pot, but Henry pulled it back. Pico's Lewis also leaked her head out of Henry's pocket, staring at the giant bear's head. Since entering the forest, Henry didn't dare to let her out to breathe, the forest was too dangerous for her. You must know that after the death of the demon ** of the Lu Dao mage, it will permanently damage part of the vitality of the ** body. After opening the pot and adding some salt and chopped green onions, he quickly filled himself with a large bowl. The rest is poured directly into the brown bear's food bowl. Ares plunged in and began to eat hard, while Louise picked up a small piece of liver from its bowl and began to chew on it. The brown bear didn't care about such a little thing, and found a bite to eat in its basin.
After dinner, Henry grabbed a handful of salt and began to knead the leather that had been roasted and a little hot. Doing so will remove the odor from the inside. After rubbing, he shook vigorously, and then continued to hang up to dry. Louise flew back into her pocket and burped her little belly with satisfaction. Henry burrowed into the tent and prepared to rest. Suddenly, there was a screeching cry from the distant sky, and he hurriedly extinguished the campfire, put away the tent, and ran into the woods with Ares to hide. After a while, two huge adult pterosaurs fell from the sky, and two men in armor jumped from the dragon's back. After inspecting the campfire, one of them said, "The people here have just left, and the fire is still hot." It's possible that the Shadow Druids are scouting us. ”
"Well, that makes sense, it's close to their camp, and they found out that we were preparing to attack here, so they sent people to guard it. It must be reported to the owner immediately. The other replied.
"Then we'll be back at once, and the master's plan doesn't allow for the slightest mistake." After saying that, the two of them climbed on the dragon's back, got up and flew into the distance.
Henry stayed where he was, he was afraid that the two of them would suddenly kill each other. After staying for an hour, I found that there was no one who came out with confidence. He thought, "Who are these things?" Looks like they're about to start attacking the druid garrison here. What is certain is that they must be very strong. After all, there are more than fifty ordinary druids here, and there is also a grand druid, all of whom are natural avengers, and these druids can almost take a large town like Belgoust. And they mentioned the master in their conversation, and Henry decided not to go north for the time being, but to stay here and see what they were going to do.
I searched for a relatively secluded hillside and found a dirt cave here. He moved the camp over, at least not from the outside of the cave to light a fire. Once the camp was set up, let Ares hide at the entrance of the cave and keep an eye on the situation at the druid camp below and report back to him. Back inside the cave, he opened the dimensional bag and began to organize his belongings. Maybe there would be a big war in a while, and he didn't expect anything from the Grand Druid Ammaled. He had only one goal to save Fado. After some counting, he found that he was still quite combat-ready, with forty-six fireball staffs, a box of about a hundred scrolls, including most of the spells and divine spells he mastered, and a crossbow with two bags of eighty arrows and a scimitar streamer. He also had a ring on his finger that doubled the spells of the first and second grades, which could ensure that there were enough spells for at least ten minutes after the battle began. At the back, there is also a druid staff that provides him with permanent bark and defensive fire. After tidying up, he closed his eyes and began to recuperate, quietly waiting for the enemy to come.
At about two o'clock in the night, Ares, who was lying at the entrance of the cave, suddenly opened his eyes, and he saw that a group of pterodactyl knights had arrived at the druid's treehouse. Immediately after they landed, they attacked the druids, and for a moment the slaughter spread to all corners along with the fire. The brown bear turned to wake Henry up, when a hand reached behind him and gently touched its head.
"No need for partners, such a loud fighting voice has already called me up, now let's act." After saying that, Henry took out two scrolls to bless himself and the bear with a stealth spell, and began to run towards the place where there was fire. After a few kilometers of travel, the two of them ran in ten minutes, only to see several corpses piled up in the middle of Stonehenge. The man in black at the head said to his men, "Quickly empty this place and bring back some more prisoners." Masters need living humans. After speaking, he commanded the knight to drive a dozen pterodactyls, grab the captives and fly into the sky.
When Henry found that there was no Fado among the captives and corpses, he did not dare to linger any longer, and quickly walked towards the dwelling of the Great Drew. If there's anyone here who can put up even a little resistance, it's Amaraed. When he arrived at the treehouse belonging to the Grand Druid Ammaled, he found that it was still resisting, and that more than two dozen knights and their pterodactyls had surrounded the place. The door to the treehouse had been broken, and Amaled was standing high up the stairs, with a number of druids standing behind him. Henry got a little closer, and heard him shout angrily: "Under the watchful eye of the Shadow Great Druid, you dare to destroy the forest and kill the druids who live here!" Since you are in a hurry to die, then die, pawn. He and the druids behind him then began to cast spells. One of the knights tried to rush forward, but as soon as he entered the foot of the treehouse, he was entangled in a huge rattan and sucked up all the blood on his body. The other knights drew their weapons and cut down the vines in the house. The rattan has not yet been cleared, and Amared's spell is ready. As soon as it was shot, it was the Avenger's unique sixth-level divine magic chain lightning. I saw a white light coming out of his fingertips, and a flash of lightning burst out of the nearest seven or eight knights, who were immediately hit, and were so shocked that they were all twitched. By the time the spell effect had faded, black smoke was rising from their bodies, and their meat was cooked. Other druids summoned wolves, and brown bears transformed into animals to fight with the pterodactyls and the remaining knights.
"You waste, you haven't killed all these miscellaneous pieces for so long, so you are not afraid of the master's punishment when you go back?" The man in black, who had been giving orders at Stonehenge, walked over, took off his hood, and loudly reprimanded the pterodactyl knight. When he took off his hat, Henry realized that he was not human at all. Slightly reddened skin with a pair of curved horns on its head, resembling human facial features and hands. Henry bet there must have been a pair of hooves and a tail underneath the robe. This is a tiflin (the devil crossed with other species), and it's hard to tell what kind of breed it is.
"You damn red-skinned demon, let's see who kills who first." The Great Druid felt humiliated and cried out loudly.
"Old dog, don't bark. Let me teach you how to learn to respect others. Tieflin sneered and began to chant the incantation. The Great Druid quickly recognized the spell he was going to cast, and shouted in shock, "Quick! Stop him. He's going to put hellfire. "It's too late. As Tieflin's spell was completed, a magical fireball erupted from his hand, and the druids who rushed up the stairs exploded in the middle of them. The unknown flame emitted intense heat and created a wall of fire, and all the druids, including Ammaled, were reduced to ashes in an instant. The big crazy big man of Tieflin smiled and said to the big druid who had turned to ashes, "Aha! How about an old dog! Oh sorry, I forgot you can't talk anymore. With that, he pulled out a human head from the inside of his robe. He said to the knights around him, "Look what a beautiful head, and the screams and fear of her dying days are still on her face. I think it will be a nice decoration to put on the table when I go back. The knights around him were so frightened that they hurriedly avoided his gaze.
Henry took a closer look at the head in his hand, and his head buzzed. It was Fado's head, and fear and pleading remained on her face. The entire head has been washed and embalmed with spells. He felt a string in his brain snap.
