Chapter 177 Exposure

Although the journey is long, as long as there is an end, there will be a day.

After leaving Old Dro's tribe, the guide led them through countless streams and tunnels, fell or climbed from countless huge trees, and finally reached a secluded but seemingly safe tunnel.

"Go straight ahead here, and you can get to the exit," the guide explained to them, "Then you should find the road to the Giant Beast Fortress not far away!"

After saying goodbye to him, several people walked along the tunnel all the way to the exit.

The climate has finally eased. This seems to happen in a few steps. There is no cold that goes deep into the bone marrow. What comes towards you is a cool feeling, and there is a trace of warmth in the wind. Everyone felt that his whole body was full of hope and strength. Although it was unexplainable, he seemed to have been liberated from that feeling of depression and sadness. There was an inable momentum in Leo's heart. He did not know that he was contaminated with the breath of spring like all creatures.

They enjoy this feeling and move leisurely on the road, preparing to recover their maximum physical strength before entering the rebel-controlled area, because they don't know what kind of situation they will face at that time.

Sure enough, the guide said very accurately about this road. They quickly found the road along the road. They pulled the brim very low and pretended to be a past adventurer - Leo also carried a few animal skins on his back and held a simple bow and arrow in his hand.

This is already the field of the new emperor. Although the people may not be all subdued, the army is in charge of everything, and it is relatively calm here.

They didn't go to the city, just moved along the road - according to Leo's plan, as long as it was not very noticeable, it was only a matter of time before they reached the king, and there was no need to expose their tracks in order to rush, so they might walk slower.

It's time to eat and sleep, which is what ordinary adventurers should look like.

One night, the adventure team began to rest after eating and sleeping. Leo stared at the valley on the other side of the river alone in a soft and seductive light.

The vigil is a relatively important job.

"What's there?" He whispered to himself. The river with melted snow seemed particularly rapid, but earlier tonight, the team had found a way to cross the river - the large stones scattered in the river protruded from the water and extended to the other bank.

There is still some time before dawn, and only half of the night has passed. Perhaps infected with the adventurous spirit of this season, Leo decided to go across the river. He jumped off the river bank and moved lightly among the stones. It is very difficult and dangerous for dwarves, orcs, and most other creatures to cross these wet and slippery scattered rocks. However, it is not a big deal for agile humans and elves.

Leo casually wandered among the big and small rocks on the other side - his intuition told himself that it was not safe here, but he did not find any problems.

"Maybe it's just a wild wolf looking for food?" He told himself this, and he also increased his vigilance - this intuition has been on which he has been relying on. Although nothing has been found, it must not be taken lightly.

A sentry met this three-person team of human adventurers yesterday. This is a relatively advanced reconnaissance force. Although they are stationed in the giant beast fortress, they are directly under the jurisdiction of the new emperor. What they do is to assassinate all the people and creatures that may pose a threat to the new emperor.

When he heard the news, Seller didn't care at first, but because he had been relatively calm recently, he felt that there was not much to do, so he simply sent a team to observe the adventurers. Glesseller has been in this position for many years, and it is not unusual for him to be trusted by the new emperor and occupy this important position. The secret of his survival is to never take any risks.

The same is true this time. By chance, the team he sent found the difference of this team of adventurers - in fact, the so-called differences are very simple. They are too ordinary.

Recently, due to the war in the kingdom, all the adventurers have joined large mercenary regiments or have gone to other countries. The rest of the adventurers here are generally in groups - the concept is very simple. If they really encounter patrols to find trouble, then they can at least resist for a while, or Fang killed.

The underground world is fierce, which is the same. After the civil strife of the free alliance, this point is more reflected.

The team acting alone was either the enemy's spy or a high-level warrior - this was not what the new emperor was willing to see, so the reconnaissance team reported the matter and quickly received a response.

"Keep a distance from the investigation, and I will send someone to deal with it!"

※※※

After a comfortable night's rest, Obix woke up from his sleep and saw that the bonfire had warmed up the food, so he quickly sat next to him to warm his stiff limbs because he had been inactive for a long time.

"Quickly," Leo reminded him, "we may be in trouble!"

"Emy?" Obix asked, and at the same time, he knew Leo's idea - he was not unable to kill his opponent, but if this happened, the possibility of sneaking into the king's capital would be much smaller - the new emperor would never ignore Leo, an important figure, not to mention that he has now reached the ninth level, even the one in his hand. Only the mercenary regiments are very strong.

Zucker pinched his hand on the tree and wiped the grease: "If it is really possible to be followed, let's just go through the mountain, so that it's not only easy to get rid of our opponents, but also easy to find them - if it really doesn't work, even if we want to kill these guys, they will be found there for a few nights!"

"Good advice, just do it!" Leo agreed to this.

The cold wind keeps blowing down from the top of the mountain, and the more it goes up, the thicker the snow will be. However, Leo doesn't care at all. The whole fern trees cover the hillside, forming a good shelter from the light. The battle in the dark is not difficult for Leo, and he knows that Zak also likes this battle environment very much.

After walking about a mile, they suddenly found themselves being followed. Although he didn't see anything except the dark shadow occasionally seen in the corners of his eyes, the subtle warrior instinct told him the truth of the matter. Leo exchanged opinions with Zack with his eyes and told Obix his decision.

They are now walking through a steep slope, crossing the lush low woods and moving towards the ridge.

As soon as they arrived there, the three dispersed, and Leo hid behind a large dols and observed the movement around him, while Obix continued to move forward with Zack, making a click of stepping on the branches.

Seven dark shadows slowly appeared from the woods. Six of them are humanoid creatures, one similar to a large dog. They followed the footprints left by the team regularly and carefully. It was still far away, and he could not distinguish the other party's race, but from his figure, he guessed that it should be a human or an elf. He looked around to find the best attack site and was able to get rid of their opponents before they made more noise.

He didn't realize that he had pulled out the machete. When Leo realized it, the other party was very close to the rock he was hiding. He stopped and began to meditate.

Before approaching the rock, he must first pass through a slippery and dangerous slope where he can meet the pursuers.

"Who the hell is that?"

Leo thought a little and waved the idea that didn't appear in his mind for a moment. He didn't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately. It's better for him to find out the camp they belong to. Now his identity is very important.

He heard the tracker's conversation, in a tone with a heavy throat similar to that of the Golin.

"Is it the dark elf?" Leo made a silent judgment from his opponent's size and tone. It's not a group of easy guys!"

If the dark elves appear, it is difficult to say if there are any other enemies nearby. Leo decided to bypass them to look around before making a decision.

Leo turned around and left, sinking into the dark night.

Before leaving, he clearly saw the dark elf chasing, and the goal was clearly to go towards his team.

I hope that Zak and Obix can hold on until they come back. He has no way to inform them. The only thing he can do is to return to them after a quick check and deal with these enemies together.

This was a wrong decision, because soon after, he found that another group of trackers were enveloping his front from the other side, including the stone giants in addition to the dark elves and spider elves. The second team of dark elves are not far from them. The first team crossed the steep slope from their left and made a detour in front of them, and the first team tracked from behind.

Leo quickly found the location of their encirclement from the route. Behind a steep cliff, they would meet and launch an attack. Although he didn't know where he was seen, Leo knew that he could only launch an attack before them, and then help Zach and Obix - now it looks like speed. That's everything.

Instead of hiding his own deeds, he rushed to the first group of dark elves in a straight line - if this group of people besieged themselves in a planned way, it means that they already know their own situation and don't care about hiding any more. Only the most important thing is to destroy the enemy.

When he returned to the boulder where he had originally been hiding, he found that the dark elves were already waiting for him here.

It seemed that he was still careless. He guessed that the enemy found one missing from the footprints, so he waited here to turn around.

A furry wolf roared loudly and accelerated over the pile of stones above him to intercept his way. The wolf opened his mouth and rushed to Leo's head. Leo fell down to avoid this attack. The machete came out of the sheath at the same time and made a long wound in the abdomen of the wolf. The wolf fell to the ground heavily and tried his best to lick the wound of the blood spring with his tongue.

He came forward to make up for a blow and knocked down the wolf. However, at this moment, six dark elves rushed over with machetes and daggers. First of all, he jumped again, dodged the crossbows flying behind him, and then stood head-on to meet him.
