Chapter 2 Betrayal
As he staggered, Ash woke up from his deep sleep. Because he had used the power of space that he had not fully mastered, he suffered backlash, so he lay down under a tree to rest and recover from his injuries.
But when he woke up and found that he was being carried on someone's back, Ash couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Forget it, let's see what these people are going to do first and see where they are going to take me. Ash thought for a while and continued to pretend to be unconscious.
"Damn it! There are no discrepancies in your broken map. It's simply someone else's drawing. I've been walking in this forest for two days, but I haven't even seen the shadow of the seven-leaf green blood grass." Ellie looked at Ba.
Luo said angrily.
"Wait a minute, Ellie, don't say anything yet. I feel the presence of a monster in front of me, at least a fifth-level monster or above." Chloe walked in front and suddenly stopped and said.
"Well, what should we do? Should we go over and solve it first?" Ellie looked at Chloe and asked.
"Our goal is to find the seven-leaf green blood grass. There is no need to add any extraneous complications. Let's be careful. It's best not to disturb the monster." Chloe said and walked forward carefully.
"According to the time and the position of the rising sun, we should be in the northeast of Yapal Forest. According to rumors, the seven-leaf green blood grass is in the northeast of Yapal Forest. Let's look for it here.
Yes, but be careful not to disturb that monster." Chloe looked at the sky and analyzed.
"Ah! Chloe, you are so awesome! You are completely different from some people!" Ellie looked at Barlow and complained.
"Okay, it's my fault, Ellie. When I get back, how about I beat up the man who gave me the map and send it to you to vent your anger?" Barlow looked at Ellie and said helplessly. There was just a trace in the depths of his eyes.
A faint cold light flashed past.
"Do you think it will be okay if you leave the whole matter to your subordinates?" Ellie looked at Barlow and snorted coldly. She ignored Barlow and walked forward on her own.
The dark and humid forest was full of all kinds of dangers. Several people were carefully looking for the target of their trip. Only Barlow, after staying away from the others, quietly left strange marks on the trees with solemn eyes.
Why did Barlow hide the mark here from others, and why was he so nervous? Ash, who had a clear view of everyone's actions on Barlow's back, couldn't help but ponder.
After searching for almost half an hour, a cry of surprise finally broke the long silence.
"Ah! I found it, under that big tree." Formeo said in surprise when he saw a red grass with seven leaves lying quietly under an ancient tree not far away.
After hearing this, everyone hurriedly looked over.
"The leaves are red, as if seven leaves are connected together. It is indeed a seven-leaf green blood grass." Chloe walked over and observed for a moment and nodded.
"Now Luna is saved." Formeo looked at the seven-leaf green blood grass and said in surprise. He reached out to pick it.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred, an angry roar came from the distance, and a red giant ape covered in blood rushed towards this side, but just after running a few steps, a huge wind blade struck him
It was cut into two pieces at the middle.
"I didn't expect you would actually find the seven-leaf green blood grass." A rugged middle-aged man wearing a blue robe slowly walked out from behind a tree in the distance and said calmly.
There were more than a dozen people following him. Without exception, these people exuded a fierce aura and were obviously very powerful. Behind these more than a dozen people, there was an old man wearing a black cloak and a pale face walking quietly.
In the back, I kept a certain distance from these people.
"Father, you are finally here." Barlow ran over happily when he saw the visitor.
"Well done, Barlow." The middle-aged man in blue robe glanced at Barlow and said calmly.
Chloe looked at the sudden appearance of these people and couldn't help but look at them and said calmly: "Uncle Locke, I don't know what you mean by bringing so many people here? Are you here to save us?"
"Oh? Do you think so? It's a pity that it's not the case. I originally thought that the monsters in this forest would kill you without us taking action. However, for some unknown reason, the number of monsters in this forest dropped sharply.
, I don’t know where they all went, so we had to take action personally. Fortunately, Barlow left a message along the way, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to carry out the mission if you walked out of the forest safe and sound with the seven-leaf green blood grass." Locke looked at it.
Chloe and others smiled.
"Barlow, you actually betrayed us. Although I hate you very much, I didn't expect you to do such a thing." Upon hearing this, Ellie immediately looked at Barlow and said angrily.
"Hmph, if Chloe had agreed to my pursuit, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened now. If you want to blame it, blame it on Chloe." Barlow glanced at Chloe with lust and then said bitterly.
"Even if you want to marry Chloe, you are worthy." Ellie looked at Barlow and became even more angry.
"Okay, Ellie, don't argue with them anymore. It seems that Uncle Locke is here to kill us. But aren't you afraid of killing us if the news leaks out? Once the news leaks out, no matter the college,
I'm afraid my father is not something your Blood Legging Guild can afford to offend. Even if the people behind you want to protect you, they won't be able to protect you." Chloe looked at Locke and said calmly.
"Haha, the little girl is indeed sharp-tongued, so in order to prevent being caught, you and your companions will die." Locke looked at Chloe and others and said coldly.
"Uncle Locke, let's do this. The identities of my companions in the academy are not simple. Your purpose is nothing more than to kill me and attack my father. If you let them go, I will go with you. You can't use me to threaten my father."
It can have the same effect, otherwise if we work hard, we can at least get a few people to be buried with him. If one of us escapes again, your plan will fall short." Chloe looked at Locke and said calmly.
"Chloe, what's wrong with this? You came to this forest to save Luna, how could we just watch you go with them. If our purpose is to escape, they may not be able to keep us." Formeo
He objected immediately.
"Although Formeo and I came to save Luna, based on today's situation, I'm afraid it wasn't as simple as we imagined when we accidentally encountered the bandit group. I'm afraid the bandit group showed up just to capture me, but they didn't.
Thinking that the adventurers who arrived unexpectedly had blocked them, Chloe looked at Formeo and said apologetically.
"Chloe, don't say that. We were companions. Even if we knew the outcome at that time, I think Luna would have taken action without hesitation." Formeo looked at Chloe and said seriously.
Seeing these people apologizing to each other, they didn't ask what they meant at all. Locke looked at Chloe and others and said coldly: "When did I agree to negotiate terms with you? Even if I catch you, I will use it to blackmail your father."
, will your father let me go afterwards? Therefore, there must be no clue about this matter. For this reason, Mr. Geese was specially invited. The death of them here can be regarded as a warning to the higher-ups of the academy. The empire will never allow detachment.
