It's approaching dusk and the sun is setting in the west.
As the last ray of light faded from the sky, the dark forest also fell into silence. Under the cover of night, it was like a giant beast that chooses people to eat, hiding all dangers under the darkness.
"It seems that the carrion crows in this area have really been cleared away!"
After patrolling for several hours but finding nothing, Sean spread his palms helplessly.
Isaac's face became more and more ugly, and without saying a word, he looked at the dark forest ahead. He raised his hand and snapped his fingers. A ball of lightning exploded at his fingertips, turning into firefly-like light spots in the air.
jump.
"Do you want to continue patrolling? Sir Isaac," Tiffany asked in a low voice and suggested, "Why don't we let everyone take a rest first and wait for dawn before continuing the mission?"
Isaac frowned and seemed to want to continue patrolling.
Ever since they entered the dark forest, the task of cleaning up the carrion crows has been going smoothly. Originally, according to Isaac's plan, everyone could end everything and return to Thunder City in two days.
But who knew that this afternoon, everyone's luck seemed to have run out, and not even a carrion crow was seen.
"Set up camp and take a rest, Senior Isaac." At this time, Enzo suddenly spoke and said in a deep voice, ": After patrolling all afternoon, everyone's physical strength is almost exhausted, so let's repair our respective states first."
"That's the only way." Isaac hesitated for a moment and said.
Afterwards, everyone began to prepare to set up camp. Sean cleared a clearing in the forest. Tiffany used witchcraft to create some clean water. Luna set up an iron pot, threw a few pieces of dried meat into it, and ignited the dried meat below.
branches.
Gurgling!
The burning dry branches made a crackling sound, and a ball of flame licked the bottom of the pot. As the broth began to boil gradually, an alluring fragrance wafted out, making everyone's index fingers move.
However, at this moment.
Suddenly there was a strange cry in the forest, and a black shadow flew into the air. Under the faint moonlight, gray feathers and a pair of scarlet eyes could be vaguely seen.
"Carrion crow!" Isaac stood up suddenly.
Under the night, the carrion crow flew through the forest and flew deeper into the forest.
"It seems we are lucky and can clean another crow's nest!" Sean's eyes flashed, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and he looked deep into the forest.
"Do you want... to catch up?" Tiffany looked hesitant.
The direction where the carrion crows are flying is deeper into the dark jungle, which is a high-risk area, and it is now night, so the danger will be even higher.
"It's better to wait for dawn." Enzo shook his head and said solemnly, "There is no need to take risks!"
"No!" Isaac shook his head and said decisively, "If you wait until dawn, you may not be able to find traces of carrion crows again, and you may miss the opportunity to clean a crow's nest."
"Let's be careful, there won't be any danger!"
Enzo's eyes flashed, but he stopped persuading.
After patrolling all afternoon and finding nothing, Isaac finally found traces of carrion crows. Isaac was unwilling to give up. As the captain of this mission, he directly ordered everyone to abandon the newly set camp and pursue them deep into the forest.
"Chip, turn on the night vision function!" Enzo ordered in his mind.
Following Isaac's footsteps, everyone chased in the direction where the carrion crow flew away. Sean pulled out his cross sword and cut through thorns and thorns, carving a path between the woods.
Not long after, several people had stepped into the depths of the dark forest.
"Wow! Wow!!" On the top of an ancient tree, a gray-feathered carrion crow landed on it. A pair of scarlet eyes seemed to have a flash of agility, and then it spread its wings again and flew into the air.
Isaac frowned, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
But he didn't think much about it. Instead, he quickened his pace. Suddenly, a ball of thunder light condensed in his hand, turned into a bolt of lightning, and shot into the air.
Click!
Amidst the thunder, lightning pierced the night sky.
Gray feathers fell down, and the carrion crow, which was struck by lightning, let out a piercing cry, fell from the air, fell on a rock, and became motionless.
Isaac was delighted, and the corners of his lips raised slightly.
"Its nest should be near here!" He stopped, looked at the crow corpse not far away, and said.
"Then let's patrol ahead." Sean's eyes flashed and he suggested, "We're here anyway. If we can clean up one crow's nest, our mission targets will be almost there."
"That's fine." Isaac nodded.
Luna immediately took a few steps forward and cut off the wings of the carrion crow. Then, under the command of Isaac, everyone began to patrol the area ahead, looking for the carrion crow's nest.
"Alert! Unknown creatures are found ahead."
Before he had gone far, an alarm suddenly sounded in Enzo's mind. His eyes suddenly froze and he looked forward. Under the night vision function of the chip, he saw a pair of bloodthirsty monsters hidden in the bushes ahead.
Eyes.
"This is...the goblin!" Enzo's pupils shrank and he could clearly see the creature in the darkness.
They were a group of short humanoid creatures with dry and wrinkled skin, long ears like donkeys, and some tattered animal skins covering their bodies. They looked extremely shabby, with only pairs of scarlet eyes glowing with bloodthirsty luster.
"Everyone stop!" Enzo said immediately, and everyone stopped.
"What's wrong, Enzo?" Isaac asked with a frown.
"There are at least a hundred goblins hidden in the bushes ahead!" Enzo said with a solemn expression, "Something is wrong. We should leave here as soon as possible."
Sean's eyes flashed, and his thoughts changed.
"Goblin? How did you find it?" A trace of vigilance appeared on Isaac's face, and he directed his mental power forward. After feeling some life breath, he said in a deep voice, "There are indeed some creatures hidden in the bushes!"
"What should we do?" Tiffany's heart tightened when she heard Isaac's words.
Goblins may be just a group of weak beings, but with a numerical advantage, they can also cause trouble to people. What's more, this place is deep in the dark forest, and the noise caused by fighting is likely to bring more dangers.
"Get out of here!" Isaac said decisively.
The task of clearing out the carrion crows was indeed important, but there was no need to rush it. After discovering a group of goblins ambushing ahead, Isaac felt vaguely uneasy and made a decision immediately.
Everyone decided to leave, but at this moment.
The goblins hiding in the bushes suddenly erupted into a chaotic roar. These humanoid creatures, which were originally known for being cowardly and timid, became extremely violent for some reason and rushed out suddenly, rushing towards everyone.
"Dance of Thunder!"
Seeing the goblins rushing out of the bushes, Isaac's eyes suddenly flashed. He immediately opened his hands and condensed a flash of lightning, which then turned into bolts of lightning and struck at the group of goblins.
