Chapter 406 The Missing Marshall
After a while, Luo Ding, the guardian of the giant tree, completely lost the breath of life, and his body instantly shriveled and cracked.
"Lord Rodin..." Ophelia's expression was indescribable sadness.
Marshall walked to Ophelia and comforted him, "It's okay, Lord Rodin, he must have returned to the embrace of truth."
Ophelia nodded, and her sad expression slightly dissipated.
As for Su Yang and his men, they also walked over from the front and sat on the ground to rest. To be honest, the battle just now did consume a lot of money for them.
"What should I do next? The fire is about to burn, so don't think of detouring through this tree spirit jungle for the time being." Bane asked as he looked at everyone.
Ophelia was stunned and then said, "Can we turn back and walk the road to the ruins of the goddess temple again?"
When Su Yang and the others heard this, they immediately shook their heads at the same time.
They finally managed to deal with the big boss, the giant tree guardian of the tree spirit jungle. It was impossible for them to turn back and fight with the fallen priests in the ruins of the goddess temple.
"In my opinion, it's better for us to enter the tree spirit jungle before the fire has burned. I know a secret path can quickly reach the inside of the Sky-Cloaked Behemoth." Marshall said suddenly.
"How long will it take?" Su Yang asked directly.
"About half a continent," Marshall replied after thinking for a while.
"no."
As soon as Marshall finished speaking, Bane's veto sounded in his ears.
"Why?"
"The time spent half a continent is calculated based on the speed of those of us who move freely, but don't forget that my injured subordinates are not as fast as us." Bane quickly explained the reason.
When everyone heard this, they thought, indeed, even in normal times, the knights of these Iron Wolf Knights could not keep up with Su Yang and others who were much stronger than them, let alone being injured now.
In this case, if you rashly enter the jungle of tree spirits that is about to be consumed by the flames, you will be the consequence of the entire army being wiped out. Bane is unwilling to gamble with the lives of his subordinates.
"What should we do?"
Everyone looked at Ophelia, hoping that she could give a third road. Ophelia also smiled bitterly when she saw this and said helplessly: "There are only two roads leading to the inside of the Heavenly Blank, one is the ruins of the Temple of the Goddess, and the other is the detour of the tree spirit jungle, and there is no third road."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel angry. Even Ophelia had no choice, so they didn't know what to do.
In desperation, Su Yang could only suggest: "Or, let's wait until the fire is extinguished before taking a detour from the tree spirit jungle."
The rest of the people thought about it and found that this is the only way to do it, judging from the current situation.
"No, I don't agree! The longer we delay, the stronger Rotes' power will be. Once Rotes' power is strong to a certain extent, let alone you only have one holy level combat power, and if you come to ten more, you will not be Rotes' opponents." Marshall refused flatly.
Yes, Marshall was right. Rotes is the weakest time now. After all, in Su Yang's memory, Rotes is an apostle in the Demon Realm who controls the ocean. The giant beast of Tianchuan is located at a height of ten thousand meters, far away from the ocean, and the strong light caused Rotes to be in an extremely weak state at this time. If he does not rush to Rotes to fight him to the decisive battle, then when his strength recovers, everyone present will indeed be no match for Rotes.
Now it is neither right to advance nor retreat. A dilemma is placed in front of Su Yang and others.
Alice, who used mysterious power to solve the problem of "Crazy Blood", seemed to have recovered a little bit of vitality at this time. She stood up and said, "It is not a wise choice for our entire joint army at this time. We should rest here for a few days while restoring our strength, clearing up the surrounding octopus monsters, opening up the port, and then let Mr. Kakun drive Mogad back to the Arad continent for help."
Alice's words were like a key, instantly opening up everyone's thoughts. Indeed, it would be a bit unreasonable to stay here for a few days, but if the monsters around them were cleaned up in these few days to ensure that the subsequent reinforcements of the Caesar Empire could safely arrive at the Skyward Bird, then these days would not be wasted.
"I agree with Lord Alice's suggestion that our Iron Wolf Knights have been stationed here in the past few days, waiting for the fire to pass and then heading towards the depths of the Sky-Cloaked Giant Beast." Barn said decisively.
Su Yang, Han Menglan and Jiuxian'er looked at each other. After the three of them nodded at the same time, Su Yang expressed his opinion: "The same is true for the three of us."
After saying that, Su Yang and Bane looked at Queen Ping at the same time. After all, if Alice's proposal wants to become a reality, she must rely on the help of Kakun, who belongs to Queen Ping's side, so Queen Ping's attitude is crucial.
Queen Ping spread her hands and said, "I don't care. Anyway, I'm following Su Yang. I'll go wherever he goes, because it's so interesting to follow him."
Seeing that the proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone, Ophelia immediately expressed her agreement. Only Marshall, who insisted on moving forward, walked aside indignantly. Everyone responded directly with helpless attitude.
......
Entering the night
In an open space near the tree spirit jungle, Bane took Kakun, whom he took time to take over during the day, was preparing dinner for everyone. To be honest, the sky curtain beast at night was actually no different from during the day. Because shortly after they made the decision to stay here in the afternoon, the blazing fire burned over.
Fortunately, everyone prepared the fireproof isolation belt in advance and simply built some insulation walls with sand as the main body around the camp so that they would not be affected much. However, this bright light could not be avoided, and everyone could only grit their teeth and persevere.
"So, you specially brought me here from a safe place to cook for you?" Kakun looked at the crowd of people sitting in front of him with their mouths open and waiting for food, and his eyebrows jumped.
"Of course not, have you explained it clearly to you? I asked you to come here to discuss reinforcements with you. What do you think about this?" Barn said with a smile.
"I have no problem here. Mogadha is in very good condition, enough to support a round-trip flight. But you have to give me a token, otherwise when I return to Caesar, without a token, you may not be able to bring back reinforcements with just a mouth." Kakun said.
"This is natural. After the big thing is finished, we can discuss small things." Barn smiled mysteriously.
"A small thing?"
Kakun was stunned, "What a trivial matter?"
"Of course, what will we eat tonight?"
"you......"
Kakun was instantly defeated by Bane and walked speechlessly towards the rear. Seeing this, everyone from the Iron Wolf Knights and Su Yang and others all laughed.
On the edge of the camp, Ophelia stood alone behind the fire belt, looking at the burning jungle of tree spirits, and her heart was filled with sorrow.
After a long time, Ophelia sighed and turned around and walked towards the camp. The lonely figure and the laughter and joy in the camp seemed so incompatible.
"Miss Ophelia, come and have a rest together. Don't be too tired of yourself. The road ahead is still long." Su Yang said with deep meaning.
Ophelia was stunned when she heard this, then looked at Su Yang for a moment, and then Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go and see Uncle Marshall. He doesn't seem to be in a good mood. You eat and drink first, and I'll come here later."
After saying that, Ophelia walked directly to the location of the tent.
Su Yang and others continued to eat meat and drink wine in big mouthfuls, but the wine was not very high, it was just a low-grade fruit wine collected by Hyde himself. After all, on this giant beast of Tianwei, everyone was afraid to drink it unrestrainedly and drunk.
"ah!"
Suddenly, a scream rang out.
Everyone was stunned, then they threw away the wine and food in their hands and ran towards the source of the scream, because they were very familiar with the scream, and it was the voice of Ophelia who had visited Marshall before.
With a thud, Su Yang rushed to the tent first, lifted the curtain, and asked, "Miss Ophelia, are you okay?"
To Su Yang's surprise, there was no one else in the tent except Ophelia, and Su Yang remembered clearly that when he set up the camp during the day, the judge Marshall pointed out that he had asked for the camp. There is no trace of Marshall in the tent now, which means that Marshall mysteriously disappeared under their noses.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
When Han Menglan was also screaming, the two daughters of Jiuxianer also ran over and looked at Ophelia with concern.
"Uncle Marshall is missing." Ophelia said in a panic: "During the day, I felt that Uncle Marshall's condition was very wrong, but I didn't expect that he would disappear. Where did he go? Will something happen? I am the only relative of him left."
Ophelia's mood became more and more broken, and Han Menglan hurriedly stepped forward and comforted: "Don't worry, maybe Marshall was just going for a walk outside, maybe he would come back in a while."
While speaking, Han Menglan winked at Su Yang and signaled Su Yang to search around.
Su Yang nodded and searched around the camp with Bane and a dozen uninjured Iron Wolf Knights for several rounds, but even Marshall's shadow could not be discovered.
"What should I do now?" Bane looked at Su Yang.
Su Yang shrugged: "What else can I do? Keep looking for it. If I just go back like this, it would be strange if Ophelia doesn't collapse."
"Well, that's all."
