Chapter 18 Guardians of Nature

After saying goodbye to Ji Qianli and Marianne early in the morning, Ning Chen went on the road again. The sky was still gloomy, and the feeling that the rain was coming was as uncomfortable as God's constipation.

In the ravines along the way, from time to time, there were the last wailing of small animals when they were slapped to death by bears. In the empty valley, Ning Chen accelerated his pace. Although Kosa was curious about why he helped him so selflessly and established his vigilance, at this moment, he could only believe in Kosa and find It is his only goal at this moment to come to Emily, the legendary archer, to become stronger.

The sound of gurgling water in front of me seemed that there was a stream or a river or something. When I got closer, I found that the road ahead had collapsed. There was indeed a river passing through the road, and a wooden bridge was built on the river. Now it is this wooden bridge that collapsed.

The wooden bridge broke from the middle, and only one handrail was barely hanging them. The two ends were connected to the roadbed and swaying with the wind. Looking down, due to yesterday's rainstorm, the river was turbulence and hurried back to the sea.

"What should I do?" Ning Chen stood at the head of the bridge and looked around. The terrain here is higher than elsewhere, because the ravines on both sides of the road also look deeper. There are weeds and bushes of more than one person in the ditch. The grass occasionally shakes, proving that there are unknown beasts passing through it quickly. Do you want to go down? Ning Chen is really worried that if there is any accident, good luck doesn't always accompany him. From the river? Obviously, the river is not wide or deep, but the water flow is rapid, and the bottom of the river is full of pebbles. The riverbed is at least ten meters away from the road. If you step on it with your own weight, the bridge must completely collapse, and the road is impassable.

Ning Chen still decided to go back for a while, find a slightly slower slope to go down into the ditch, and go winding forward for a while.

When he walked back, a small figure suddenly appeared in front of him. As the distance got closer and closer, the shadow became clearer and clearer, and the clouds turned out to be light.

"Ning Chen, wait a minute!" She also saw Ning Chen on the opposite side, so she trotted all the way and shouted in surprise.

Why did this girl chase after her? When did she come? Seeing the dizzy figure, Ning Chen first frowned and left them in the village for peace of mind. Now it's fine...

"What are you doing here!" Ning Chen did not respond to her with laughter and surprise, but said, "Didn't I let you stay in the village? It's not fun to come out!"

Yun Danfeng obviously didn't expect Ning Chen's reaction. The smile on her face disappeared in an instant, replaced by grievance and helplessness. When she came to Ning Chen, she stuffed the things in her hand into him: "It rained yesterday. I thought you were definitely going to get caught in the rain. There are groceries selling ponchos in the village. I'll send you one. , finally caught up with me..." Her voice became lower and lower, and even choked a little.

Ning Chen's heart suddenly softened: "Oh, thank you, but it's really dangerous for you to go out like this, you know? Look at the two sides of the road, how many beasts can swallow you without spitting bones..." He didn't intend to tell the werewolf about the werewolf, so as not to scare her.

Seeing Chen's attitude eased, Yun Danfeng smiled again: "It's okay, don't forget that I'm a mage..."

"Go back." Ning Chen said.

"Go back?" Yun Danfeng looked down at her toes. She carried a big bag on her back. Obviously, she didn't just come out to send the pony. "I want to find that Emily with you..."

"Why?"

"You alone will be very dangerous..." she said.

What other reason is there to refuse? Ning Chen sighed, "follow me, there are murders everywhere."

The two people finally found a slightly gentle gully on the slope not far from the broken bridge. After determining the depth, Ning Chen went down first. Except for some dead branches and leaves and chameleons, Ning Chen could not see any other threatening creatures, so he reached out to signal the light wind to come down.

"Let's walk on the road in the ditch." Ning Chen said. With the painful lesson of getting lost yesterday, he has dared not be wayward. Walking along the road is the wisest choice. Otherwise, what will he do when he comes out to build a road?

The gully is full of thorny bushes. It's okay for Ning Chen to have armor to defend himself. The light cloth robe was pulled one by one for a while, and even stabbed his heel. She didn't say a word and gritted her teeth and insisted. These Ning Chen all saw it in his eyes. He silently walked to the front and pulled out his long sword. Cut down the bushes and weeds in front of him to the ground, and then stepped on them with his feet, cutting a path for the cloud breeze.

"Thank you..." She said softly behind her.

Ning Chen didn't answer. In fact, he was also very moved. What else can he say about this friendship that he can follow him like this?

"Where's Eva?" Ning Chen suddenly remembered another baby.

"She is sick and the old man in the village is taking care of her. If not, she would have come with me." Yun Danfeng didn't want to tell Ning Chen these things. She and Eva discussed whether to report good news or bad news, for fear that Ning Chen would be distracted.

"What's wrong?" Ning Chen was so anxious and angry that he left Moshache for only one day and one night.

"I think it's a cold, plus I was scared and tired a few days ago..." She replied.

With a crack, Ning Chen threw it to Yun Danfeng's light leather coat: "Although it smells a little stinky, at least it's stronger than yours. It's cold in this mountain. Don't catch a cold." Then shut up and stop talking and focus on opening the way.

After crossing the previous river and walking for a while, he never found a suitable place to return to the road. Ning Chen was a little anxious. In the trees along the way, he seemed to see many shadows staring greedily at himself and dizzy eggs, as if looking at a plate of moving roast duck.

Not long after crossing the river, the front had to continue to detour to the depths of the jungle, because a huge rock suddenly emerged from the roadbed and blocked the way forward. The rock was covered with moss and various reptiles, which looked particularly disgusting.

I had to bypass the rock, and there was a dense forest in front of me, and the thickness of the rock seemed to be beyond Ning Chen's imagination. Now it has deviated a lot from the predetermined path.

Suddenly, in the forest in the distance ahead, a bird fluttered its wings and flew away from the trees. The light wind was frightened and grasped Ning Chen's arm tightly: "Is there a monster?"

Ning Chen didn't say anything, and he was observing carefully.

On the ground not far away, there was a pile of poultry feces. Ning Chen thought of the terrible roc bird. At the beginning, he was able to barely make a deal with them because of its use. If they were regarded as enemies, it was really a terrible thing. The enemy attacked from the air was the most defenseless.

In fact, there are no roc birds here, but there is another comparable and even more fierce bird - the eagle. So far, Ning Chen has no idea of the upcoming enemies, but I believe it won't be long before he knows and understand their horrors.

Ning Chen did not move forward. He was not sure whether the dense forest in front of him was worth trying with the safety of two people.

However, the danger did not stay away from them because he stopped. Soon, he found a group of strange birds flying out of the woods like cannonballs.

If the fierce roc bird can barely be called a bird, this kind of bird has nothing to do with the bird except its wings. It actually has an eagle-headed deer body.

This rushes out is the horned eagle.

Horned eagles are ancient magical beasts that have existed on the continent of Azeroth. Well, they should be regarded as beasts. Their bodies are like stag and raptors. They can soar freely in the sky of Karimdo. They love nature, make friends with night elves for generations, and will attack anyone who destroys the balance of nature.

Obviously, Ning Chen's cutting off just now angered the eagle beast.

Three eagles and beasts rushed to Ning Chen against the low bushes. Their wings were longer than those of the roc bird, and the pointed horns on their heads were as sharp as spears. If they were stabbed, there would be no good end.

With a sound, Ningchen's golden armor saved his life. The horns of the horned eagle in the front brushed the armor and emitted a string of sparks.

After the first attack failed, the eagle rose to the sky and flew into mid-air. The other two became horns with it and locked Ning Chen and Yun Danfeng in the attack target on the ground.

"Why attack us?" Ning Chen's talent skills played a role at this time.

"Why kill innocent bushes?" The eagle asked rhetorical.

"You are still a hunter!" Another disdainful sarcasm.

"You want my life for this?" Ning Chen was surprised and never thought that Azeroth's nature was so magical that there would be such a loyal guardian.

"All plants and trees have their own lives!" The leading eagle said sternly, looking at that situation, Ning Chen must be brought to justice today.

"What's wrong with Ning Chen?" The sudden attack of the diagonal eagle and their muttering words that they didn't understand, Yun Danfeng was very worried. She wanted to know what the current situation was.

"Because I cut down the bushes, they want to kill me." Ning Chen smiled bitterly.

"There is no need for cunning, you have to go back to the forest of justice with me to be judged!" The horned eagle rushed down again.

It seems that the enemies in front of him are different from the jackals. Ning Chen is also a little guilty about their reasons for attacking him, and he can't take action against the enemies in front of him.
