Ke'er leaned down slightly, grasped the hard-as-iron feathers with both hands, and then let out a crisp cry.
The giant eagle chirped in agreement, flapped its wings and suddenly accelerated - it pulled up high, made a turn, and immediately began to dive. Increase, keep increasing, just in the blink of an eye, it had already broken through the dense branches and leaves at lightning speed.
The tree canopy, and the next moment, this majestic and beautiful creature has accurately locked its landing point beside Xiao Fen...
"Palin!"
The female elf ranger didn't care to block the branches that swept across her forehead and cheeks. She gritted her teeth, lowered her body again, hugged the giant eagle's neck with one hand, shifted her body weight to the side, and stretched out her hand towards Xiao Fen.
"Hold on to me, Captain!"
She stared at Xiao Fen closely. At this moment, the distance was so close, she could almost clearly see every meaning contained in the depths of those dark eyes; Ke'er felt her heart beat faster. She had never tried this before.
Such tension is completely different from the trembling caused by fear, but an inexplicable emotion that makes people unable to breathe.
She stretched out her hand, but because she was nervous, she grabbed it a little too early and held it tightly for the second time.
The hand was a little thin and a little cold, but the fingers were slender and full of spirituality; it seemed familiar, but it also had a strange and mysterious feeling...
This was just a moment of contact, but it was like an electric shock. The elf girl's thinking came to a complete halt - she didn't even know what she did next, she just pulled instinctively. Then she subconsciously made the giant eagle adjust its posture to reduce the mage.
The impact received.
In fact, it wasn't until she felt the weight on her back that Ke'er came back to her senses. She took a breath lightly and didn't dare to speak. She didn't dare to move, so she could only maintain her current posture.
attitude.
At the same moment, the flow of time in the external world did not stagnate at all because of the momentary stillness of the Ranger's inner world. The next moment, the giant eagle Barlux suddenly spread out its huge wings and swept towards the ground, and was pressed against the airflow on the ground.
He immediately changed his direction and lifted it upwards. I saw that the momentum of this majestic and beautiful creature's dive was reduced, and then it drew a beautiful shallow arc close to the lower layer of the forest and approached the canopy again.
In fact, only this king of the sky who grew up in the northern wilderness can display such powerful flying skills!
"Thanks."
Although it should have been planned, Xiao Fen still felt as if he was in a dream when he suddenly came from the ground to the back of the giant eagle. It took him a long time before he came back to his senses and had time to thank his team members.
.
"Yeah." Ke'er responded like a mosquito. Compared with her usual careless look, it was very abnormal at this moment.
However, our mage happened to be in a trance at the moment. He didn't seem to notice anything unusual about the elf girl. He just felt that she was a little nervous. Xiao Fen didn't understand why this ranger lady who was not afraid of anything but snakes was acting like this.
Nervous, just out of such considerations, he stretched out a hand to block the branches that were brushing against them, and said in a slightly encouraging tone: "Okay, don't be too nervous, our eldest lady ranger
.Now we are halfway to the victory!”
Obviously, Xiao Fen was looking at the current situation with a captain's mentality at this moment - trying to avoid unnecessary mistakes caused by nervousness among the team members at this critical moment - but he didn't expect at all that he was at this moment.
This behavior is so ambiguous to Ke'er.
At least, this young lady was completely stunned - she opened her mouth slightly, and began to think about something inexplicably in her mind.
"Ke'er."
"Ke'er?" Xiao Fen finally realized something was wrong at this time. Normally it would be this weird female ranger's turn to claim credit for herself, right? But now it seems that only Sha'er is jumping up and down on both sides of his shoulders.
Go, so that he sometimes had to distract himself to tear this little thing off his head.
"Ke'er——" shouted again. He couldn't help but frown. It was not a good sign for the team members to stay at this time. "Miss Ranger, what are you thinking about?"
"Ah! Huh?" Ke'er finally woke up.
She was quiet for a moment and breathed out secretly. Then she patted her hot cheeks to calm down. Then she asked in as calm a tone as possible, "Is there... something wrong? Captain?"
"Of course, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Fen asked. If the female ranger remained out of shape like this, he would have to consider whether to change his plan next.
"It's nothing, I was too nervous just now," the female ranger took a breath, and while sweeping the silk from her forehead behind her ears, she replied with a hint of teasing: "I was thinking that if the captain was lost just now, Sophia would
Will Xiao Nizi cut me into pieces?" She obviously wanted to divert the mage's attention with this slightly exaggerated answer.
"Oh?" Xiao Fen thought for a moment and nodded, "Then let's continue according to the original plan! Two giant Soul Seizer Demons, these are monsters that have entered the legendary level. Let's see what they can bring to us..."
"Really..." Ke'er glanced at him and then fell silent.
At this time, Xiao Fen turned around and took a look at the situation behind him - the giant eagle had begun to rise higher at this moment, gradually leaving the canopy and flying to higher airspace. Although the two giant soul-telling demons also had the ability to fly, they
Their two small wings that are obviously disproportionate to their body can only provide them with a pitiful 4o feet/poor flying ability. As the most powerful ruler of the sky in the northern wilderness, the giant eagle, even if it carries
It weighs two people, but its basic speed of 80 feet is enough to dwarf the half-toned flying creature Soul Seizer Demon. If the Soul Seizer Demon hadn't had the ability to cast advanced teleportation spells at will, I'm afraid they would have been swept away by now.
But even so, the two Soul Seizing Demons still have nothing to do against Xiao Fen and Ke'er, because the anti-magic force field cast by the mage has not disappeared yet, so they cannot use advanced teleportation to intercept the giant eagle at once.
The result of sexual interception is that you can never catch up.
Nessus soon saw the dilemma faced by his two servants, and he immediately ordered them to give up their plan to approach with all their strength. Instead, they kept their distance and kept driving Xiao Fen and Keer forward without giving them a chance to breathe.
, then as long as the anti-magic force field disappears, the result of this chase will naturally be clear.
Of course, although the Lord of Fear has such a wishful thinking, he has no intention of winning like this. He doesn't think that this cunning mortal mage will push him to a dead end. He is waiting for Xiao Fendi to come out.
move, and then use absolute power to crack it.
These are two chases, going on at the same time.
The giant eagle was not in a hurry to fly south, but kept circling in the sky under the instruction of Ke'er. It could be seen that this was obviously delaying time. However, Naisas did not agree with this.
Anxious. The two giant Soul Seizing Demons were not in a hurry, and of course Xiao Fen was even less anxious, so both sides maintained this situation in a tacit understanding.
Until ten minutes later——
"Ke'er."
"Here." "Start flying south now! At the same time, lean over and stick to the two Soul Seizing Demons.
"Huh?" Ke'er was stunned and slightly frowned her thin eyebrows. However, she was not used to refuting the mage's orders, so she just asked: "How close?"
"Within fifty feet," Xiao Fen looked at the terrain of the nearby forest. Then he looked at the two Soul Seizer Demons who were following him unhurriedly, and replied, "Make sure they are within the range of my anti-magic force field."
.”
As he said that, he patted the long feathers on the back of the giant eagle's neck and said, "How about it, Balex, are you okay?" This giant eagle is Ke'er's animal companion, and Xiao Fen has known this guy for a long time.
At least they got along with each other for quite some time in the Northland. But as for the relationship between him and this flat-haired beast, it's hard to say...
"It's a big problem. Stupid mage!" The giant eagle flapped its wings twice while mouthing human words, "Can't you see? As soon as I get close, those two big guys can tear me into pieces with just one meeting.
Damn it, I thought your IQ would be higher!"
"Really? That won't be easy. If you do as I'm told, I'm afraid I will tear you into pieces first." Xiao Fen chuckled.
"You ungrateful guy. Don't forget that I saved your life just now!" screamed angrily.
"I do not remember."
"Damn, you despicable guy!" the giant eagle complained angrily. "I've said it before, friend ranger, if you want to deal with this mage who laughs and is full of bad intentions, don't call me here!"
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, Barex, please help me!" Ke'er apologized with a smile, and at the same time turned her head and rolled her eyes at Xiao Fen - the meaning in that look was very obvious: Look, you are again
This lady has said so many nice things! But what even the female ranger herself didn't notice was that there was a hint of coquettishness in her complaining eyes.
The animal companions generally responded to the ranger's request, especially since the relationship between Cole and Balex was pretty good. Therefore, the big bird just snorted disdainfully, but in the end it gradually moved towards the two soul-telling demons.
Posted it.
As soon as the two sides approached fifty feet, the originally leisurely pursuit and escape suddenly became tense. Within such a close distance, it became very difficult to maintain speed - soon, the Soul Seal Demon would escape from the anti-magic force field.
; If it was too late, those two ugly demons would suddenly pounce on them and launch an attack if they didn't pay attention. Therefore, in the short time after getting close to him, Balex experienced several dangerous situations.
In this way, although only a minute or two passed, it was no different than a year or two to the giant eagle. At this time, Xiao Fen issued the order to the new land.
"Ballux, keep this distance, fly downward, and fly close to the canopy! Get as close as you can!"
The giant eagle no longer argued with Xiao Fen at this time. In fact, it had no time to argue with this mage who it thought was damnable. It simply folded its wings and dived towards the forest below.
.
Xiao Fen nodded with satisfaction at this performance. Then he turned the long black crystal staff in his hand into a black crossbow and began to fire at the two giant soul-telling demons in the sky. Such an attack was already
It is obviously not a big deal for demons who have entered the legendary level, but if it is just used to attract the opponent's attention, it is more than enough.
The two demons were already tired of this endless chase. As soon as they saw the giant eagle change its direction, they immediately followed it. Xiao Fen's provocative attack aroused their anger even more.
On the other side, Balex entered the forest canopy first. Whether it was to show off to the mage behind him or for some other purpose, it was very energetic and almost brushed against the canopy of the tree like a shuttle.
Travel up.
As for the branches that stretched out to block the road, they were all smashed to pieces.
"Go south, yes, that's the direction." Xiao Fen blocked the painful branches and pointed out a direction for the giant eagle. He occasionally looked back and saw two Soul Seizer Demons following closely.
Behind him - these two behemoths have already landed, because at this height they cannot fly at all with their huge bodies.
But similarly, no matter how superb Barlux's flying skills are, after a long flight, especially after carrying two people, the speed gradually slows down - compared with the devil, the giant eagle's physical strength is obviously inferior.
Much better - now, it doesn't even need to deliberately slow down, and the two demons can already maintain a distance of fifty feet behind them, but this is not good news.
However, at this moment, Ke'er, who had been observing the nearby forest, raised her head.
"Captain?" she asked in a low voice.
Xiao Fen glanced ahead, smiled slightly, and nodded affirmatively.
"So," he said, "this is the first battlefield."
Directly in front, within the range of Xiao Fen's field of vision, a red-robed female mage floated quietly in the air. She also smiled slightly, as if in response to Xiao Fen, but her silver hair was draped softly in the cold moonlight.
It seems extremely dazzling.
"Stop it!"
At this moment, Nessus, who was far away in another space, also alertly noticed something was wrong. He immediately issued orders to his servants through spiritual contact.
But it's still a little late...
There was a loud bang, and the right one of the two giant soul-telling demons suddenly sank down with his whole body. Under his feet, it was a very simple trap - no magic cover, no precise mechanism.
——In fact, it was a pit, a horrifyingly deep pit. A pit that was at least forty feet from top to bottom!
It can be seen from the shape of the edge of the pit. This is just an artificial product created in a short period of time using dissociation, fossil-to-mud and other spells. In fact, this is exactly the case. In addition to the huge engineering of this pit, it
The level of complexity is not even as simple as the simplest flip trap, because it does not even have a lid, but is simply covered with some branches.
But this is enough. If you are advancing at a high speed and covered by layers of tree canopy, it would be difficult to detect such a trap if you are not intentional. As for the intention, can you expect the Soul Diagnosing Demon, or even
Would Nessas believe that a mortal mage would use the most primitive method of traps to deal with them - using traps to deal with two legendary monsters? Do you believe it?
Therefore, under such intentional or unintentional calculations, this Soul Seizing Demon humiliatedly fell into the human trap in the most humiliating way in history.
Of course, things are far from that simple.
The moment he fell into the trap, this giant soul-sucking demon felt boundless shame and anger. Just like instinct, he immediately thought of teleporting to escape. However, at this moment, we can see
A triumphant goblin appeared next to this man-made pit. Yes, you read it right, this is a goblin, two feet tall, with wrinkled green skin and even more wrinkled robes.
Then, the goblin raised his hand, and his long sleeves slowly slid down his skinny green paws; and at this moment, in his hand, he was holding a pitch-black scroll upright.
If you still have some memories of what happened before, you will find that this scroll is almost identical to the one Xiao Fen used before the war. They seem to be twin brothers.
