Chapter 185: Fugitive From Despair

In the forest, Lindsay and Hong groped towards the direction of the sound.

The two made almost no sound.

But in the process, they noticed that the object making the noise in the forest was moving towards the place where the bird landed.

After just over ten seconds.

Under the cover of layers of green shade, Lindsay and Hong saw the source of all the noise.

Several tree spirits whose bodies were made of plant vines were surrounding the place.

They hurriedly walked, quickly and greedily sharing the bird to replenish their severely depleted physical strength.

"The escaped tree spirit... Have these plant people changed to eating meat?"

Lindsay and Hong looked at each other.

The two lowered their voices, and the girl asked first:

"Do you want to kill it?"

Lindsay immediately shook his head:

"We must stay calm and not act impulsively."

"This forest is too big. It's rare to encounter a monster of this level in a month. Try to observe..."

"Huh?"

Before Lindsay finished speaking, there was a new movement in the distance.

The two looked towards the forest in the east. It seemed that a huge monster was knocking through the grass and trees, and the target was directly aimed at the tree spirits.

Even though the dense trees blocked the view, countless birds and beasts in the forest were startled by it, and almost drew a clear and definite path, making people feel the brutal force that was rushing like a tank.

"..."

This unexpected kick really made an incredible change?

Lindsay and Hong looked subtle.

But they still remained cautious and continued to wait and see.

On the other hand, the tree spirits below were now silent.

They stood up, looked at the direction of the sound in horror, and then fled away without looking back.

It was not until this time that they began to cry desperately in animal language.

"It's over, he's caught up."

"Don't give up, run quickly, we will definitely get out!"

"Forest, why?"

The tree spirits fled to the west in panic.

Lindsay, who was hiding in the dark, followed them. He roughly estimated that reality was very cruel to these tree spirits.

Their speed was completely behind the pursuers.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will be completely caught up within half an hour!

"Hong, let's decide whether to take action or not depending on the situation."

Lindsay ordered, and Hong nodded slightly, and then followed the chase.

...

A quarter of an hour later, the situation Lindsay expected happened.

The four fleeing tree spirits, even if they tried their best to push their speed to the limit, still failed to escape the pursuers behind them.

In the shadow of the dense forest.

A three-meter-tall gray-black giant bear rushed out with a ferocious roar.

Beside its sturdy body, there were more than a dozen gray forest wolves. Some of them guarded the giant bear, while others were one step faster, blocking the four tree spirits and surrounding them.

In the critical moment, the tree spirits were forced to stand together.

Facing the threat of death, the thorns on their bodies began to grow rapidly and twisted together to form a dark green barrier full of spikes.

Desperate pleas rang out from the fortress:

"We just want to leave the forest!"

"Gray, let us leave, it's better for everyone!"

"Roar--"

The giant bear opened its bloody mouth.

A deafening roar sounded in the forest.

This behemoth had no intention of communicating with these fugitives.

It rushed forward directly, its huge bear paw covered with a layer of dark gray light, and with just one claw, it tore a crack in the hard thorns.

"Traitor, there is only one way to die!"

The trapped tree spirits had no way out, and death was in front of them.

They stared at the bear paws swinging down in despair.

Then...

With a sound of 'snap'.

The giant bear that had forced the four tree spirits into a dead end suddenly fell to the ground!

"Ah?"

The tree spirits in the thorn fortress looked confused.

They then discovered that at some point, there was an arrow on the giant bear's head!

And this arrow did not cause an ordinary stab wound.

There was a dent at the place where the arrow hit the giant bear's head, as if it had been hit by a giant hammer.

Ice, fire, and corrosion.

Three different energies took effect at the same time, directly turning the giant bear's brain into a ball of colorful paste!

"..."

"?"

Where did the attack come from?

When was the arrow inserted?

A fifth-stage jungle giant bear just died like this?

Countless doubts emerged from the minds of these tree spirits. They couldn't understand what was happening in front of them, but no matter what, the reality was already in front of them - they were saved!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Almost at the same time, several more air-breaking sounds were heard.

Through the gaps in the thorn barrier, the tree spirits saw it clearly this time.

Several flaming spears shot out from the shadows of the forest.

Those forest gray wolves that were still surrounding them in the last second were immediately hit by the spears and fell to the ground after the giant bear. Every wound showed a terrible burn mark!

"Awoo--"

The leading giant bear was killed instantly, and the other companions fell one after another.

The remaining forest gray wolves completely lost their will to fight and turned around to flee into the dense forest.

There was no trace of the ferocity of hunting in them.

Until the situation developed like this.

The tree spirits finally saw who rescued them.

It was a creature that looked a bit like an ape, but had very little hair and walked upright on the ground.

"Human?"

The first to show up, Lindsay ignored the tree spirits.

He only left a command, "Red, keep an eye on them," and then he disappeared into the shade of the forest in the direction of the forest wolf's escape.

After a moment, a voice slowly floated over:

"Our activities in the forest need to be kept secret. I'll be back as soon as possible."

Crack!

The sound of a sharp weapon being pulled out of a corpse attracted the attention of the tree spirits again.

They turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound and discovered another amazing fact.

The red spears that had just stabbed the gray wolves to death had all disappeared at this moment!

On the only forest gray wolf with a spear still stuck in its body, a human female stepped on its neck and broke it, pulling out the red spear.

"Tsk--"

Hong kicked the gray wolf under her with disdain.

After making sure that the guy was dead, she circled around the tree spirit again and shot all the forest gray wolves that fell to the ground.

After confirming that all the forest gray wolves were dead, it walked towards the location of the tree spirits without saying a word.

"Human!"

Witnessing this ruthless scene, a tree spirit said in trembling animal language:

"Thank you for saving us, I..."

"Don't talk yet!"

Hong took the initiative to interrupt the tree spirit's trembling gratitude.

The girl didn't even look at the tree spirit, but patted the head of the giant bear lying on the ground.

A fifth-stage monster.

Facing a silent sneak attack, he was hit in the head by an arrow and died on the spot.

Hong prefers to think about the topic of fighting.

She supported her white chin with one hand, raised her eyes, and began to imagine tonight's combat training.

"If Lindsay uses this trick on me during training tonight."

"Can I dodge it?"
