Ai Luo raised a finger to his lips and shushed softly.

It was at this time that Cream jumped back from the tree on the side and landed next to Airo gently and deftly.

"How about it."

"Judging from the footprints, there are about seven or eight people. They should be a small team. There is a trap in front of them. Those flower fairies must have been caught. It is not yet known whether they will ambush or turn around and leave."

Ai Luo thought for a while and suddenly said: "Are there military boots in the footprints?"

Cream exhaled and shook his head slightly: "No. And judging from the depth of the footprints, they don't look like professional soldiers wearing heavy armor, but more like a team of well-equipped adventurers. The hunting techniques they use

It is also a mechanism similar to a bird-catching net. If I were to judge, I would prefer it to be an organization, a gang, or...a guild."

This is similar to Arrow's guess.

If it is a subordinate of the city lord's army, then when this army discovers the location of the Fairy Forest, it will immediately find a way to notify the city lord to come and directly carry out a crushing capture in terms of quantity and quality.

But now they did not lead so many people here. Instead, they set traps overnight and launched a surprise attack this morning.

This is easy to understand, because once the news that there is a flower fairy here is passed to the city lord and reaches the ears of other humans, then the number of people who will flock to it will probably be more or less, and they will be able to catch as many flower fairies as possible.

The quantity will be greatly reduced. From a profit perspective, this is tantamount to cutting off one's own financial path.

Therefore, in a sense, that group of people were not the city lord's regular army, but mercenaries, which was the best news.

But at the same time, this is also the worst news for Mermaid Song.

If you think about it carefully, Mermaid Song has actually not experienced a guild-level battle in the strict sense since its establishment.

Whether it was fighting the Iron Wolf Guild in the past, or later annihilating the Eye of Truth, Mermaid Song tried its best to use various traps, show weakness, relax the opponent's vigilance, or hire other guilds to implement it.

A blow to other guilds.

But now, in this strange forest in a completely strange country, if you are really facing a guild organization, then this guild will definitely behave differently when facing a strange guild that also doesn’t know the details or combat effectiveness.

Absolute vigilance and will not relax at all.

In other words, what Mermaid Song is facing now is a hostile guild that has truly exerted its full combat power and has no slightest contempt for this small guild!

Facing such a group of enemies, what should we do to defeat them before they completely evacuate the forest?

Ai Luo thought about it carefully, after all, he really doesn't have many resources at hand right now. If he really has any advantage, it is only the intensity of the frontal combat power provided by the flower fairy clan when he is on his side.

.

"President! If we don't hurry up... Buffy's companions will be captured, right? Those guys... Those guys might have escaped by now!"

Seeing Buffy's kin being captured, Brad seemed a little nervous. He gently raised the shield and sword in his hands, looking like he was ready to rush out anytime and anywhere.

In response, Ai Luo shook his head slightly and said: "Don't worry, they won't stop until they catch enough flower fairies. After all, they definitely don't want to reveal the source of the flower fairies and reduce their income.

.But on the other hand, they are also worried that the goblins will leave immediately after being attacked, so they must want to take advantage of this time to catch more. They are in the dark now. If we rush up now, it will be equivalent to rushing in.

In their encirclement. In this dangerous forest, whoever attacks first will lose."

Brad's eyes widened and he tried to look at the forest in front of him that was constantly flashing various lights. The longer he waited, the more anxious he became: "Then...then what are we going to do next?"

"wait."

The cheese on the side suddenly spoke, and his eyes with light red pupils were also looking at the trees in the distance——

"Wait until those guys can't stand it anymore and send out bait again, trying to attract more flower fairies. Wait until we change from the original offensive side to the defensive side."

Time passed by minute by minute.

All the members of Mermaid Song are hibernating behind this dense bush, and even the nervous flower fairies are all depressed and scared now, but they have to continue to hibernate here behind their queen.

Obviously, these flower fairies who are born free and like to run around in the flowers do not have much patience. After a period of waiting, some of them have obviously begun to become restless, and each of them wants to go directly.

Rush out and use magic to wipe out all the invading humans in one go!

but……

Aero, this human is still lying where he is.

Even though a golden beetle had climbed onto his hat at some point, he lay there quietly as if he didn't care at all.

"(Fairy language) Her Majesty the Queen...?"

A flower fairy couldn't wait any longer and came up to ask.

Although the Fairy Queen is also very anxious, as a queen, she must also admit that humans are always the best at dealing with humans. Seeing that the most powerful group of fairies under her can do so easily

Song was captured, and now she seemed to have no better way besides trusting this human being.

Slowly, slowly...

The sun is getting higher and higher, and the mottled tree shadows fall from the sky, condensing everything here into one piece. All the people and flower fairies hibernating here seem to be integrated with this forest, and there is no movement anymore.

…

But at this moment, a commotion suddenly started in front of the woods! After waiting for about a second or two, a flower fairy flew over in a hurry from there.

Seeing this flower fairy, Airl didn't show any expression of excitement or happiness. On the contrary, the word "bad" immediately flashed in his mind!

Sure enough, after spinning in mid-air for a while, the flower fairy immediately flew towards Ai Luo and others with its racially superior sense of smell and panic mentality. Ai Luo really had a feeling about her approach.

He had the urge to strangle this flower fairy instantly! But after thinking quickly, he immediately stretched out his hand to drive away the fairy queen lying on his shoulder, and at the same time raised Buffy's shoulder slightly.

"(Fairy language) Parfait!"

Seeing the same kind, the flower fairy swooped over excitedly. But before she and Buffy, who had no idea what was going on, hugged each other, an arrow was quickly shot towards Aero, accurately.

The ground was inserted into the ground less than ten centimeters in front of him.

The next moment, with the arrow as the center, a magic circle larger than three meters spread out. The flower fairy and Buffy, who were trapped in the magic circle, suddenly felt sore and weak, lying on the ground completely unable to move.

"ah--"

Coco on the other side was obviously a little panicked when she saw Airl trapped in the magic circle. But Airl quickly made a hissing gesture to her, and at the same time he was observing the flower fairy and Parfait who fell next to him.

The two flower fairies kept trying to open their mouths to speak, but now they were all covering their throats and seemed unable to say a word.

Sure enough, there would be no way to recite the incantation.

Seeing Buffy in such pain, Brad on the other side was obviously very anxious. But he received Arrow's eyes immediately, so even though Buffy couldn't move or fly here,

, but he still silently grabbed his weapon and squatted quietly in the grass next to him.

The Fairy Queen and the other flower fairies were also watching, looking a little at a loss.

But after a while, these flower fairies finally seemed to understand what they were going to do now.

From the direction where the arrow flew, the sound of a person's footsteps gradually began to be heard.

Soon, a man who was fully armed, with a small buckler hanging on his arm, and who looked like a warrior, slowly walked over from that side.

Behind this warrior were two more, one who looked like an archer and the other who looked like a magician from the looks of his clothes. The team of three people walked towards this side while talking and laughing, seemingly not paying attention at all.

all around them.

Around them, the members of Mermaid Song began to gradually surround them, with them as the center.

"Look how much we have harvested this time. There are so many of these flower fairies. As long as we catch a few more, we will probably have enough food and clothing for the rest of our lives."

"That's right! There are so many flower fairies, just making them all into fairy dew is already a lifetime wealth. This time we will make a fortune!"

"Don't just joke around. Be careful. Those flower fairies might do some strange magic. My silence spell won't work for too long."

The three people were walking towards this side as they talked.

Relying on the surrounding forest, the members of Mermaid Song were already in place, just waiting for the most favorable opportunity.

Ai Luo raised his hand tentatively, and after trying to move for a while, he found that he did not seem to be restricted by this magic circle. At most, he could not speak.

Seeing this, he nodded slightly, reached out and grabbed a handful of soil, and quietly waited for the three people to approach.

Come closer...come closer...
