Chapter 179 Raid
Chapter 179 Raid
The next morning, Xu Zhen, four monsters, and Brenda, a total of six people, left the elf village. They headed south, and the forest was still peaceful, and no wild monsters suddenly appeared.
Behind Xu Zhen and the others who were enjoying the fresh air in the forest, Brenda looked around with a puzzled expression.
(It seems that everything is so peaceful. Especially, I don’t feel any suspicious aura…)
She didn't want to think so, but it seemed like just a false expectation.
(At least I have to make sure Xu Zhen and the others don’t encounter unnecessary danger. Otherwise, there’s no point in me following them like this.)
Brenda had just tightened her expression when suddenly Lopul, who was riding on Xu Zhen's head, moved.
"Chirp!"
"Wow, what happened suddenly?"
Feeling the impact of the sudden jump, Xu Zhen was shaken for a moment, but he still looked forward. Lopul, who had just run out, stopped and looked around. It seemed to be looking for something, and looked very anxious.
“Chirp! Chirp, chirp!”
Lopur made an unprecedented urgent sound. Then, the nearby bushes suddenly moved, and a white monster appeared.
"mum?"
The monster made a confused sound and tilted its head. It looked very similar to Ropul, but the shape of its ears was obviously different. If Ropul was like a cat, this one was like a rabbit.
Xu Zhen thought this might be an elf rabbit.
“Mimi!”
"Chirp!"
Luo Puer and the other party ran towards each other happily, looking very happy to play. Seeing this scene, Xu Zhen and the others were stunned.
"It seems that the little guy is a good friend of Lopur."
"Oh, so that's it."
“Pique!”
After listening to Lati's explanation, Xu Zhen and Slakic were very surprised. Then Brenda also came over with a surprised expression.
"I was really surprised. I didn't expect to find them so easily... I thought it would be very difficult to encounter them..." Brenda showed an expression that matched her words as she listened to Lati who was still staring at Loppel and the others.
"Maybe these little guys have always been nearby, but they ran away as soon as we approached."
"Well, that makes sense... well, it looks like they're watching us."
Brenda nodded and noticed the other elf rabbit's gaze. The expression was blank, and no emotion could be seen. Soon, Lati walked towards Lopur and the others. Perhaps because they were of the same kind, the other party did not show much vigilance.
Slakic also cheered up and walked towards the elf rabbit. His expression was full of determination, as if to say "I want to help too". However, due to excessive force, he accidentally made a loud noise, which accidentally scared the other party, including Lati.
Slakic noticed this and, although feeling sorry, he quickly became friends with the elf rabbit and they started playing together.
Seeing this scene, Xu Zhen also greeted Lim, who was sitting on his left shoulder: "Lim, do you want to go play too? They all look very happy."
“Gu…”
However, Lim only responded softly and hid behind Xu Zhen. It seems that Lim is not only shy, but also a little afraid of other monsters. Xu Zhen thought.
Forcing it to go might only backfire. Xu Zhen was planning to wait for the next opportunity to let it participate, when Lopur, who had noticed that Lim was not there, ran over.
"Tweet!"
“Gu…”
“Chirp, chirp, chirp!”
“Gu…Guguchu!”
Although it was unclear what they were talking about, it was obvious that Luo Puer was inviting Lim to play with him. Thinking of this, Xu Zhen grabbed Lim's neck while she was sitting on his shoulders and put her in front of Luo Puer.
“Gugu!?”
"Chirp!"
Lopur showed a happy expression to the surprised Lim and approached it. Slakic and the elf rabbit also came over and seemed to say to the flustered Lim: "Hey, come and play with us."
Although their calls were ordinary, Xu Zhen felt that there was a certain tenderness in them. Then Lati also flew to Lim, smiling and gently stroking it.
Lim quietly observed the four companions for a while, then thought for a while -
“Coo-coo!”
It began to shake its head with a firm cry. Amid the monsters' joyful shouts, Lati turned to Xu Zhen.
"Master, everyone is having a great time."
"Um."
Then, the five monsters, including Lati, began to play happily. Lim, who was a little confused at first, gradually smiled and joined them.
Perhaps it would be better not to interfere too much and let Lati and the others play by themselves for a while. When Xu Zhen was thinking this, the other party's elf rabbit came towards him.
"Well……"
Facing the elf rabbit that was staring at him expressionlessly, Xu Zhen was hesitant about what to do.
(Try touching its head first.)
Thinking of this, Xu Zhen squatted down and carefully stretched out his hand. When he stroked the head of the elf rabbit that was still looking straight at him——
“Meow…”
The elf rabbit not only did not show any disgust, but seemed to feel very comfortable. At least for Xu Zhen, it seemed to have let down its guard. Seeing this, Lopur and the others happily ran towards Xu Zhen, and the five of them started playing with Xu Zhen together.
"Really...you always manage to show such incredible sights." Brenda said with a wry smile.
Although she was surprised, she accepted this reality. Brenda thought to herself that she had completely adapted to such a scene.
The bright and lively voices and the smiling faces formed a peaceful and tranquil picture. She even hoped that such time could continue forever. But such moments were only fleeting.
"I feel the same way. You really...always surprise me." A cold voice suddenly sounded, instantly sweeping away the peaceful atmosphere around them.
Xu Zhen stood up and looked around hurriedly. A young elf walked out from the shadows of the trees.
"Are you...Russell?" Brenda asked with wide eyes, a bead of sweat running down her cheek.
She knew Russell well. He fought for people and his image of justice was very glorious in her heart. As a fellow magic swordsman, she admitted that he was a good opponent.
But now, he seemed to be swallowed by darkness, the exact opposite of that brilliance. His eyes, once gentle and powerful, were now bloodshot, sharp and ugly. The smile on his face was enough to scare anyone who saw it.
"What's wrong with you? How could someone like you...?"
"Shut up." Russell interrupted Brenda with a smile and a cold voice: "I do what I like, and I don't need you to meddle in my business."
Brenda was amazed by this answer. Could Russell really become such a bad-mannered person?
At least, he is not the kind of person who looks down on others. On the contrary, he will reprimand such people directly and boldly.
At this time, Brenda thought of a possibility: "Russell may be possessed by a bad magic."
Hearing Brenda's words, Russell showed a surprised expression: "Oh, I thought you didn't use magic."
"That's true. However, I can still feel the flow of magic. I have to thank the elder for teaching me!"
Brenda's voice was full of pride, and Russell smiled as if to show his approval.
