Chapter 1073 Gretel, What Do You Think We Should Do? (MiliBrony Leader Adds Update 7)
The pain of the forest still boils.
The anger of nature has not yet subsided.
Those big trees that were cut off and fell to the ground, their crowns...even remained alive, and it would take many, many days before they withered and died.
Therefore, when Adrian Lopez, who had the same aura as the intruder, but more condensed and sharper, came to this forest, almost the entire forest was shouting.
All the trees and all the birds are reminding their friends and the guardians of nature in their own way:
careful!
careful!
An enemy is coming!
To the ears of people who cannot hear the sounds of nature, such a sound may be just the shaking of leaves or the cry of a night bird; however, to the ears of nature's darlings, it is so loud that it can be heard even from dozens of miles away. People are awakened from their sleep.
Ash Moonsong was awakened;
Sissoyan is awakened;
Even Grete, who was in a daze and confused, felt that he had to wake up——
Although he had no idea why he was uneasy, if he hadn't been pressed on his head to meditate, he wouldn't have received the natural warning at all.
Even so, Ashe Yuesong and Sisuoyian looked at each other and saw the other's obvious joy.
——Gretel is a cub after all!
Still a cub with only half elf blood!
To be able to be so sharp without formal training, your future development is limitless!
"So...should we strike first?"
Half an hour later, everyone, including Cerela who was a little annoyed to get out of bed, was shaken up and sat together in the mage's cabin. Ash Moonsong was the first to ask:
"Should we kill him before he finds out? Use the power of the forest and the power of nature to kill him directly?"
"Kill it! Kill it!"
Cerela was eager to give it a try. The silver dragon girl clenched her little fist and waved it vigorously. With a snap, Gretel subconsciously stepped aside, almost suspecting that she was about to make an air explosion.
"It's better... to hide away first? Anyway, he doesn't know where we are and can't find us. He doesn't necessarily have to fight..."
Mr. Hawthorne retorted hesitantly. Mercenaries and adventurers are not afraid of fighting, but they will never engage in meaningless battles. No commission? No deposit? Don't we meet on a narrow road and have to fight?
Then why rush in and fight?
Just to hate someone, or someone who "maybe" or "might" be dangerous to them?
For such a reason, you would travel dozens of miles to fight an enemy of unknown strength and risk injury or even death?
no way!
Mercenaries wouldn't do such a thing!
"I don't think it's appropriate either."
Ms. Jasmine softly echoed her husband’s opinion:
"We are still far away from that enemy. We are already very tired. Running in the middle of the night and getting there may not necessarily achieve the effect of a sneak attack. It is better to wait and find a suitable battlefield for us."
Cerira's face fell, and she instinctively wanted to retort. She paused again and turned to look at Grete. Grete had been contemplating with his eyebrows, recalling the information he had just obtained in meditation. The silver dragon girl pinched him twice, and then he slowly said:
"I'm wondering... whether the remaining villagers should continue to evacuate. Or, which one is safer for them, continue to evacuate, rather than not alerting them and letting us leave on our own."
The two elves looked at each other, and their eyes changed. While others were thinking about whether to fight and how to fight, Gretel's first thought was indeed the safety of the indigenous villagers...
"If the enemy has not arrived, it is undoubtedly safer to evacuate." Ash Moonsong answered without hesitation:
"However, the enemy has arrived within dozens of miles. At this time, let's drive up the Guteng Bird and carry people away like today?"
There was no need for her to continue talking, even Serila knew that it was inappropriate to do so. The magical fluctuations of the ancient vine bird when activated are extremely large and can easily alarm people. Once alerted, the powerful warrior caught up with him at lightning speed...
She is not afraid, and neither is Ashe Yuesong. Gretel, she will definitely protect Gretel's safety. However, the villagers hanging outside the ancient vine bird are undoubtedly a group of living targets.
"Although it is not safe to leave them alone, it is currently more dangerous to evacuate them." Sissouian said in a deep voice. The forest guard gently tapped the ground beneath him, and the topography of the surrounding mountains and forests for hundreds of miles was clearly vivid in his mind:
"The possibility of being found in a village a hundred miles away from the passage is originally low. Our best plan is not to alert them and not meet them at all. The less we know, the safer it is for them."
"Then we...just run away on our own?" Cerela pouted a little disappointedly. Grete smiled and patted the back of her hand:
"This is the safest for the villagers, isn't it? Besides, if we want to fight such a powerful warrior, Cerela will definitely be on the front line - I don't want Cerela to get hurt."
"I, I won't let Gretel get hurt!" The silver dragon girl's long pointed ears twitched. Even the long ears created by the transfiguration technique still have a bit of pink at the tips. Grete's hands were itchy when he saw them, and he wanted to give them a squeeze...
He coughed, turned to Ashe Yuege, and said seriously:
"Then this is the arrangement. Sister Yue Ge, do you need to ensure the sleep time to ensure the casting of spells?"
"It's okay if I sleep less!" Ash Moonsong replied without hesitation. After thinking about it, I added:
"I'm an elf! I don't have to get enough sleep! Little Gretel, go to bed quickly. Once you're asleep, let's move!"
"Well... you don't have to wait for me alone... Actually, there are other ways..."
Half an hour later, Bernard and Mr. Hawthorne rode Appa and walked quietly in the jungle. Sissoyen transformed into a gray wolf and quietly guided the way;
Cerela and Ms. Jasmine, each with a phantom pony, settled down silently and followed the team;
Ash Moonsong re-entered her black panther form and ran around them;
As for Grete... Grete was wrapped in a blanket and fell asleep soundly on the floating saucer, drooling from his sleep...
The group walked quietly through the night. Under the guidance of the elf forest guard and the guidance of nature, he chose a road that was rich in natural power, protected by tree canopies everywhere, and farthest from the enemy, and meandered forward.
Walk.
Walk.
Traveled all night.
Go out ten miles, go out twenty miles, go out fifty miles... From the deep dark night, walk to the east and a piece of fish belly white appears. Gretel had a full sleep and woke up rubbing his eyes:
"ah……"
sleepy……
It’s really uncomfortable to sleep on a floating dish... This floating dish is hard and much more uncomfortable than a bed. My back hurts after sleeping all night...
Next time I will try to modify the model of this spell, or simply get a sleeping bag with [Levitation] attached...
"Gretel, wake up!"
A clear and crisp voice sounded from the side. Full of energy and joy. Grete quickly turned over to face Cerela, and launched the Water Ball Technique and the Cleaning Technique one after another. After sorting himself out, he held up the floating saucer and jumped off the ground:
"I'm awake! - How far have we gone? How long until we get out of here?"
"We took a detour last night." A calm voice answered. Sissoien ran back, stretched out his wolf claws, and drew a simple picture on the dirt:
"Ms. Yue Ge communicated with the forest last night. The new enemy is basically on the same vertical line as us. And now we are almost on the same horizontal line with him, twenty miles away from him. about……"
"What about the other party?"
"Ms. Yue Song sensed it an hour ago, and the enemy hasn't moved yet."
Grete nodded slightly. Twenty miles, if there is a clear goal, is only a short time for high-level warriors. However, if there is no goal, in the vast sea of trees, it is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack.
"Keep walking, don't stop. The further away from him, the safer we are. Try to contain the fluctuations and don't let him find us."
Gretel will never forget that when he first went to the battlefield, the archbishop of the Glorious Holy See took out some kind of magical equipment and roughly locked his direction.
He will not forget that there are many tools in the council to find people based on spell fluctuations. For example, when watching the legendary battle, the compass in the cave can mark the spell fluctuations in various directions.
Now that you’ve reached this point, you need to be even more careful!
"Don't worry. After we activate the transformation spell, the spell fluctuations are no different from those of wild beasts." Sissoyen raised his head. From the gray wolf's face, Grete actually saw full of confidence and pride:
"Nature protects us. Those enemies cannot find us so easily."
"Serila also has the art of transformation!" The silver dragon girl looked back happily. She simply waved away the phantom pony and jumped off the ground:
"Look, if you look like this, there won't be any spell fluctuations at all!"
"I don't have to ride a horse either."
Ms. Jasmine smiled and jumped off the phantom pony. Even though she was in the jungle, the half-elf's steps were still light. No matter the knotted roots or the thick thorns, they could not hinder her steps.
The two phantom horses were scattered. Gretel lowered his head and looked at himself:
"Well……"
It seems that he is the only one who is the most useless... He can neither break away from the phantom pony and move quickly on his own two legs, nor can he transform into a leopard and run freely in the jungle...
Until now, in his black panther form, he still stumbles every step he takes and somersaults every three steps...
"Gretel, get on Appa's back."
Ashe Yuesong also ran back, looked up at the team, smiled and raised a paw:
"So far, you have the largest range of communication with nature. Just meditate hard and give us an early warning. By the way, remember to cover yourself with the breath of nature."
Gretel: "..."
He grumbled and got on the Silver Moon Deer, closing his eyes. Expand your spiritual power, connect to the nearest big tree, and then use it as the starting point to resonate with the surrounding nature:
"——Everyone, be careful to hide!"
He suddenly opened his eyes wide and spoke urgently:
"That soldier started to move! He was flying! He was searching!"
In the sky, the sound of swords cut through the atmosphere. On the ground, everyone in the team looked at each other with serious expressions, and everyone subconsciously held their breath.
