"Calm down, calm down." The five survivors of the Blue Coral Adventure Group were startled to be startled when they saw Catherine and Pannis rushed out. Each of them stood up and drew out their weapons. The four silver-level mercenaries also entered a state of alert. Dora, among the mercenaries, seemed to have some understanding of the tacit understanding between Pannis and the girls. They sat down like Lina and Vivian, and waved to their team members: "What are you nervous? You sit down and sit down."
"Yes, calm down." Vivian looked at the timer at hand, flipped the grill on the fire as Penis, and then said slowly: "If we need to be alert, Penis, as explorers, will naturally remind you as soon as possible. However, he and his elder sister did not remind you before rushing out, which means we don't need to be nervous at all, so we should continue to prepare dinner."
The others didn't seem to understand the trust between Panis and the girls very well, but when they saw the two girls' slow movements, they finally calmed down and sat down by the fire again, but their eyes glanced at the entrance of the valley from time to time, trying their best to see the scene outside through the dim twilight.
The sound of "stepped" footsteps sounded from the entrance a few minutes later. Panis and Catherine looked very good, and walked back from the entrance with solemnity.
"It's still empty like yesterday?" Lina clasped against the fire, raised her head from the book in her hand and asked, "Isn't I seen anyone?"
"I've seen someone." Panis held his right hand tightly: "But he was run away. He was not the same person as yesterday, and the smell was different."
"You two can run away together?" Dora asked in surprise: "It's incredible."
"The dimension gate opens the distance and then escapes through teleportation magic." Panis sat down at his original position and replied: "The dimension gate is instant, teleportation magic... there is no magic circle left."
Everyone was silent. Except for the shy little octopus baby, everyone understood what Pannister specifically emphasized. In magic, most advanced mages can use short-range space transfer magic such as Dimension Gate, but if you want to use it in actual combat, you must be instant. Only mages who have been promoted to the legendary level can achieve instant dimensional gate. Similarly, teleportation magic, high-level mages need to use physical magic arrays. After teleportation, the physical magic array will definitely remain in place. Mages above the legendary level can use magic array projections on the ground to complete the teleportation array template, so that there will be no traces of the magic array left in place.
"Haha, things have become interesting." Dora suddenly laughed: "In other words, there are two groups of people following us, one of them is a legendary mage?"
"It's two people, not necessarily two groups of people. Maybe they are together, they're just acting alone to monitor us." Panis corrected: "As for the person last night, I don't think anyone can track us behind us all day without me."
"Okay, you're right." Dora nodded and said, "But, legendary level, hehe, we have five golden levels, one high level, three middle level and one low level. Well, if you really do it, you will have some problems saving your life."
"But the other party didn't take action." Catherine said with a little depressed feeling: "The other party doesn't seem to want to attack us directly. I don't know who the other party is, why are we following us?"
Panis opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but looked at Catherine and then lowered her head and flipped the barbecue, saying nothing.
"Tell me, Panis." Catherine keenly discovered Panis's performance, stared at Panis and said seriously: "Did you find something that I didn't see? Will it affect me? Don't worry about me, tell me what you found?"
"You must be calm, be calm." Panis sighed and reminded him first. Then he reached his right hand that he had been holding in front of Catherine and slowly opened it. A piece of black robe fragment appeared in Panis's hand: "I found it on the arrow I shot. Although he left in time, this was still left."
Catherine took the fragments and stroked and observed them with the fire for a while. At first, her eyes were filled with confusion and memories, but the more she looked at her eyes, the more she looked, the more angry she became. When she was extremely angry, Catherine seemed to remember something, grabbed Pannis' wrist, her fingers were deeply trapped in the flesh of her wrist, her face even became distorted, her lips trembled and could not speak, and she looked at Pannis with a pleading look.
Panis shook his head regretfully and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, what you thought of is right, I'm afraid it's them, and those people may end up like that."
Catherine closed her eyes in disappointment, exhaled a long breath, and her hands trembled and let go of Panis' wrist. She was silent for a while before she opened her eyes again, her eyes became calm and clear: "It's so...it's so regretful."
"You calmed down so quickly." Penis was a little surprised: "It's much faster than I thought."
"What else? Are you rolling around in anger?" Catherine smiled self-deprecatingly.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Dora couldn't listen anymore and asked Catherine, "Is there anything special about that robe fragment?"
"I've seen the logo on it." Catherine handed over the fragments, and Dora saw a pattern carved on the fragments. A golden hourglass was tattooed in the innermost ring of the hexagram disc: "I can't forget it once."
"What's the sign?" Dora is also a very experienced professional, but searching his memory, he did not find any corresponding information. He could only ask: "Will your reaction be so weird?"
"We had a cave adventure a few months ago." Catherine's mood was still a little low, but her voice was completely calm: "In the cave, professionals maliciously attacked the adventurer. Several adventurers disappeared, and the owners who did those things were wearing robes tattooed with this pattern."
"Did you meet them?" Dora asked.
"We just saw them through a solidified mage's eye, and we didn't even know their location at that time." Catherine said with some gritted teeth: "But we saw how they treated the adventurers in the coma. The people in the coma were lying in a huge magic circle, and I don't know how to make those people old as if they were 100 years old. I think they have extracted the vitality of those people."
"Extract vitality?" Dora was stunned and said with an ugly face: "It is impossible to have such a method."
"But that's the case." Catherine said with a straight face.
"Wait." Dora suddenly reacted: "You mean the person you followed us was the one you met before?"
"It's very likely," said Catherine. "And I suspect they are the mastermind behind the thieves."
"The thieves sold the robbers to them." Dora also began to become angry like Catherine: "Then they absorb the vitality of those people?"
"It's very likely." Catherine said, "At least that's what I think."
"Something can be explained in this way." Dora agreed with Catherine's statement: "I'm afraid it's the canyon full of corpses that Guli Elmer accidentally found. It's the place where the thieves abandoned the remains of prey after a large-scale hunt. You were already discovered at that time, but the other party didn't seem to want to do it himself, so they don't know how to use the method to induce the poisonous gland fox to attack you, and want to kill you with the poisonous gland fox's hands."
"This is indeed their method." Panis echoed Dora's statement: "In our previous adventure, the monsters around us became very strange, and many of them changed their habits. I'm afraid they have special ways to induce creatures to change their habits."
"What thieves?" Guli Elmer said in confusion: "Why can't I understand at all."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Now you have told us the matter. The other party's attention should have been shifted to us." Catherine said: "And it seems that the other party does not want to attack you directly, so you just need to be careful recently and there will be no problem not going to dangerous places."
"Indeed, the other party's attention should be shifted to us." Dora continued: "After all, we must continue to move forward to find the thief's nest, and we will definitely face them in the end. Haha, legendary level, if you think about it, you can make people..."
"Our strength is really not necessarily a loss to the legendary level." Catherine's fist clattered: "Besides, the other party may not directly attack us, so there is nothing to worry about."
"Then the only thing that doesn't make sense now is this. Why is the other party unwilling to take action directly?" Dora asked, "Now they have the advantage of their strength."
"I don't know, maybe it's because the other party is not sure to beat us, maybe it's because the other party has some concerns, such as having some concerns about some of us?"
Catherine spread her hands very directly. Although she said this, she glanced at Panis in a concealed manner with a questioning look. Panis understood Catherine's problem and shook her head slightly, saying that it was definitely not because of herself.
"But, Blue Coral and others were not with us before, so why didn't they do anything?" Dora did not simply ask questions, but instead looked for answers to the questions through collaborative Q&A thinking.
"Maybe you can think about it the other way around," said Panis. "The other party did not attack the Blue Coral before. If it was because of insufficient strength, why?"
"The legendary level person is not here?" Dora's eyes lit up and she quickly replied, "He has just arrived?"
"I think it's the reason. After all, the legendary level is not a Pasto, there are all trees." Panis took out a Pasto and threw it casually: "The opponent's legendary level should have arrived two days ago. The one who induces the poisonous fox before should be only a golden-level profession. The strength cannot steadily swallow the blue coral, so it drives the fox group to attack. So the question is, what exactly does the opponent's legend do?"
"Isn't it the other party's golden-level profession who asks for help and asks the legendary level to help deal with the hidden danger of blue coral?" Dora said.
"No, if you just ask for help, you can win with another gold. There is no need for the legendary level to appear. After all, they don't know that we will just meet together." Panis shook his head and said, "So there is no need for the legend to appear."
"Of course it's because he has other things to do. Will you reason about it? A bunch of idiots, you can still sit still now. Let's go quickly. I'm worried for you." Lina stroked the novel in her hand and smiled apologetically at everyone: "I'm just repeating it. This is what Miss Marple said, don't look at me."
No one looked at her, Dora looked up and happened to see Catherine and Penis showing the same sudden enlightenment expression.
"Hurry up and continue on the way after dinner." Catherine put the rag in her hand into her close pocket and kept it in: "Vivian, get up and eat, Vivian, Vivian, come back to her senses."
"Oh, you're done talking, so quickly?" Vivian glared at Lina who was about to reach out and slapped her, and sat up slowly: "It's finally time to start dinner."
