Perhaps because he was close to a small town, Cream had already taken off his shirt and took off the sleeve arrows on his wrists. Except for the shadow ring, he had taken off everything he could on his upper body.

Seeing this, Ai Luo finally made up his mind.

"Let's walk through the Shining Forest. It's closer and it should be cooler."

The guild members turned back and looked at Airl, then at the obviously shady forest over there.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Cream hugged his clothes and said: "Through the forest? Hmm... What about the slimes and hook-toothed rats in there? The hook-toothed rats should be easier to deal with, but we are here

I didn’t bring salt with me this time, so it would be a bit troublesome if I encountered slime.”

Ai Luo also wiped the sweat that rolled down from behind his ears and said: "If you encounter it, just kill it? And we can still go around. Of course, this is not a task or an order. I think with us mermaids

Song's strength shouldn't be a big problem when passing through the Shining Forest. At least, we can move along the edge of the Shining Forest instead of going deeper into the center."

Ji Lian thought for a while and felt that there seemed to be no problem, so he nodded immediately.

Looking at Coco, Buffy and Brad...well, looking at the exhausted looks of the three of them now, there should be no objections.

Making a decision, she acted. Mermaid Song cautiously came to the edge of the forest and looked inside.

Nothing unusual was found. When Ai Luo stepped into the shadow of the tree, he finally had a call from the heart——

(Death to light magic! Now is the time for dark magic)

In the trees, the huge sound of cicadas filled the forest. Although it was a bit noisy, it was much more relaxing than the avenue outside that was constantly being scorched by the sun.

Everyone tried to walk into the forest again, and sure enough, the further inside, the more comfortable the temperature became. After taking a short rest and replenishing water, and after Cream put on clothes, Mermaid Song started to move again.

.

I don't know if it's because the weather is really too hot, or because it's noon, but there is no other movement in the entire Shining Forest except for the noisy cicadas.

Come to think of it, slimes are originally nocturnal creatures. Hook-toothed rats also prefer to stay in dark places. But now, the midday sun shines dappledly through the gaps between the leaves on the muddy ground under their feet.

In this environment, even if there are slimes and hook-toothed rats, they should be hiding in the depths of the forest to escape the heat and only come out at night.

As they walked, because there was no danger along the way, everyone unconsciously began to walk deeper into the forest, thinking of taking a closer shortcut.

Naturally, there was no problem with all this. Until...

"stop!"

Suddenly, Ji Lian, who was in the middle of the team, changed his comfortable look and reached out to stop Brad, who was about to move forward.

Everyone stopped, and the assassin tiptoed toward the middle of the two trees in front of him. After looking at a foggy gauze-like thing in front of him, he turned back and said, "That's a spider web. If I

If I read it correctly, it should be a web made of poisonous spider silk."

Upon hearing the news, Ai Luo was slightly startled, and his fingers involuntarily touched the antidote in the corner of the prop bag. He only wore it as a precaution, but he really didn't expect that he would actually come across it.

Cream raised her head and looked at the surrounding environment, and said: "It seems that we really went a little deep. President, what do you say? If I remember correctly, you should bring the antidote, right? Then we are

Is it better to continue walking forward, or go around and be careful? If we continue walking, I think we can reach Pelican Town in an hour or two. If we go around, we may have to wait until after dinner to arrive."

Ai Luo thought for a while and quickly made up his mind: "It's better for us to take less unnecessary risks and go around. It won't hurt if our vice president misses a dinner."

But just when Ai Luo gave the order to move to the edge of the forest, Buffy suddenly flew out of the skull soldier's head, pointed to an area in front, and at the same time made a silent gesture to everyone.

action.

Seeing something happening, everyone immediately lowered their bodies and bent forward. Soon, everyone saw the situation ahead.

In a slightly empty forest area, an old man was lying on a fallen tree trunk with his eyes closed and meditating. Next to the old man were two attendants, who also seemed to be closing their eyes and meditating.

"It seems that using the shade of trees to escape the heat is not an original idea."

Ai Luo muttered, and then saw the thing that made Buffy nervous-the poisonous spider.

Although it is daytime, there are still many spots of sunlight cast from the shade of the trees. The black and green body patterns of the rot spider are undoubtedly full of camouflage in this forest.

A total of two poisonous poisonous spiders were slowly crawling towards the old man who was resting against the tree trunk from both directions. The two attendants seemed not to notice this threat at all and were still sitting there with their eyes closed and meditating.

"Want to shout out?"

Brad asked softly.

Ai Luo thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "The rotten poison spiders that have not been weakened are very powerful. Even if we have an antidote, it is best to avoid confronting them. If they ambush humans, we will ambush them. Can we do it faster?

solve?"

Ji Lian and Coco nodded, and the undead soldiers of the assassin and the necromancer quickly and silently rushed towards the back of the two poisonous spiders. Perhaps the two poisonous spiders were too focused on themselves.

He was so prey that he didn't even notice the enemy appearing behind him.

Quietly, Ji Lian and the undead soldiers had touched the back of the poisonous poisonous spider. The moment before the two spiders raised their two thick claws and prepared to pounce on their prey...

Puff.

The sharp weapons had already penetrated the heads of the two monsters first, causing them to slowly fall to the ground after letting out a shrill scream, and stopped moving.

The screams of the poisonous poisonous spiders naturally woke up the old man who seemed to have fallen asleep. He raised his head and looked around, and soon noticed the two dead poisonous poisonous spiders in the bushes behind him. Likewise.

Yes, I also saw the members of Mermaid Song slowly walking out of the bushes.

"Ah...you guys?"

Following the old man's question, the two followers seemed to wake up at this moment. They stood behind the old man one after another, but they didn't seem to care about the two poisonous spiders at all.

Arrow separated William and Brad in front of him, walked out with a smile and said: "Hello, distinguished gentleman. Although this forest is cool, you still need to be careful. We are the Adventurer's Guild affiliated to Pelican Town.

——Member of Mermaid Song. I am the president of the guild, Aero Garcia."

If you want to eliminate the doubts of strangers, the best way is to report your home address directly.

After listening to Ai Luo's narration, the old man looked Ai Luo up and down, with a smile on his face, and said: "So it's the guild of Pelican Town? Oops, this is really it.

Thank you. If it weren’t for you, I would have almost been in trouble.”

Arrow glanced at the two followers behind the old man, and saw that there was no expression of surprise on the faces of the two people at the two poisonous poisonous spiders. Think back to the location of the two followers and their

The sword on the waist...

At that moment, Ai Luo smiled: "No, no, no, it would be great if you could forgive us for not meddling in our own business."

Seeing what Ai Luo said, the old man glanced at the bodyguards behind him, and then smiled: "Hahaha. President Ai Luo Garcia, my name is Tangyijiu Qiaoguo. These two are my bodyguards.

But it can be considered my family. Well...if you are from Pelican Town, do you know how to get out of this forest?"

While talking, the old man named Tangyijiu took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said with a slightly pleading look: "The weather outside is really too hot, so I thought about going in to escape the heat, and then walked to

Over there at Pelican Town. But I didn’t expect to get lost here without realizing it, so I wanted to take a rest first.”

Now, it was Arrow's turn to look up and down at the old man and the two followers behind him.

The decoration on Sugar-Coated Wine Qiaoguo's body looks like that of a traveling businessman, with a large but easy-to-move robe, and a waist bag tied to his waist, which looks like it should contain travel expenses.

However, although he was dressed simply, the old man's clothes were not dirty in many places. The wear and tear was not serious. It seemed that the material should be very thick, and he should have been well taken care of along the way.

As for the two followers at the back, it is even simpler. They are dressed in standard adventurer attire. In addition to their helmets, the equipment they wear covers from their shoulders to their toes. Moreover, the item packages on their belts look similar.

They were bulging, obviously well prepared. Looking at the eyes of these two people and the strong muscles exposed from under the leather armor, it was obvious that they were not the kind of people who randomly bought a set of equipment and went on a trip out of curiosity.

people.

To be honest, these two followers gave Ai Luo an appearance that was more professional than a real soldier and also very wealthy.

"Ah, you want to go to Pelican Town? Then come with us! Pelican Town is not far from here. If you go directly through it, it will only take less than two hours."

Brad, who was behind, put away his shield and walked up with a smile on his face. Of course, when Buffy appeared in front of the three strangers, the old man raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously looking at her with some curiosity.
