Chapter 162 The sharp blade from behind.
At this moment, the white and tender palm covering Meiluo's mouth gradually loosened.
This made Mei Luo's originally extremely nervous mood gradually relax, because judging from the other party's current actions, the other party should not have any malicious intentions, and it seemed that he had saved her just now.
Meiluo turned her head slightly and saw that the other person was indeed a human girl. She should be about the same age as her. She had long green hair, which was particularly eye-catching.
The most important thing is that the other party is also wearing the apprentice robe of the Ignis School. The pattern of two bone sticks on the chest makes her feel particularly friendly in this predicament.
It seemed that Mei Luo had met the girl who saved her.
This green-haired girl seems to be a wizard apprentice from the same batch as Richard.
By the way, she remembered that the other party seemed to be the third place in the freshman qualifying competition, named Ao.
Just when Mei Luo opened her red lips and wanted to express her gratitude, the other party's expression changed and she made a cautious sign of silence. gesture.
Mei Luo looked confused.
But then her expression changed drastically. She saw the male night elf knight who was supposed to have walked away. At this time, he actually turned back to the nearby area and lowered his head to search for Mei Luo's footprints.
This immediately surprised Mei Luo!
However, Mei Luo looked around her, and it seemed that she and the girl diagonally opposite were protected by a small shielding witch formation.
In addition, the vines here are extremely lush and can be said to be almost airtight.
Mei Luo quickly recalled the process of her rescue.
At that time, he was wrapped around his waist by a thick vine, and he lifted it up into the air and carried it straight to this place, so he did not leave any footprints pointing here.
Only then did Mei Luo feel a little relieved from the high-spirited feeling in her heart.
He glanced at the green-haired girl.
It seems that the school girl next to me is bold and careful.
When rescuing himself, he had considered all aspects carefully. Sure enough
, when the night elf man checked again and found that Mei Luo's footprints had indeed disappeared on the cliff beside the waterfall, he finally gave up and turned around. Left here.
To be cautious, neither of them moved or said a word.
After a while, there was no sign of the other party turning back again.
The green-haired girl said softly at this time: "Okay, you can rest assured now, the other party is really gone this time!" As
soon as the words fell, Meiluo finally relaxed, like a snake that had been twitched on her spine, she He almost collapsed on the ground, looking exhausted.
After running for his life for a long time, he finally managed to save his life.
Thank you Lady Luck for your blessing!
"Senior sister, thank you for saving me. I think I should have met you in the freshman qualifying competition. By the way, you should know Richard, right?" Mei Luo said first.
"Hey, do you know Richard too?" The green-haired girl looked at Mei Luo curiously with her bright eyes.
"Well, he and I are both under tutor Slys. My name is Melo, Melo Norris." "
Oh, hello, my name is Ophelia, Ophelia Acorn! "Ophelia smiled.
Richard was one of her few friends. She didn't expect it to be such a coincidence this time. The person she saved happened to be Richard's senior.
This made Ophelia, who had always been relatively indifferent to social interactions, feel that she was particularly connected to the beauty in front of her, and she became much more enthusiastic than before.
Suddenly, the two girls started chatting with each other. Since they had Richard as a common topic, they became very familiar with each other after a while.
"Ophelia, do you know what happened in the Norman secret realm? How can we get out?" "
I don't know very well. When I returned to the daily supply point in the core area of the secret realm, I found a large number of night elves. The Spider Knight is attacking the supply point." Ophelia recalled.
"As soon as I saw that the situation was not good, I quickly evacuated to this area." "
Because I often collect herbs in this area, I am familiar with it. This is one of my resting spots. There is a waterfall next to it, so if I can't, I can still Jump down and escape."
Ophelia pointed to the side, and saw that the originally airtight vines suddenly let go of a hole.
It seemed that the vine understood its owner's thoughts and exposed a window-sized gap, allowing Mei Luo to clearly see the waterfall with a drop of more than 100 meters.
Mei Luo nodded. Sure enough, in her impression, Ophelia was proficient in plant-based witchcraft. This made her like a fish in water in the dense forest. No wonder she could easily avoid the pursuit of the night elves.
"As for how to get out, I don't know." Ophelia thought for a while, but shook her head, looking confused.
This made Mei Luo's happiness at being rescued suddenly diluted a lot.
It seems that both myself and Ophelia are trapped here!
——When
Richard opened his eyes again, he found that he was already in a dense forest. The sounds of many unknown animals and plants could be heard in his ears, and the air that poured into his nose was warm and slightly fragrant.
Looking around, Richard found that he was surrounded by tall trees, shrubs, and many vines.
In terms of species, these plants are mainly ferns in various forms.
This made Li Cha feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
In the Gray Fern Wilderness, there are basically ferns.
It's just that there are fewer tall trees and plants in the Gray Fern Wilderness than here.
This is his first time in the secret realm.
Therefore, Richard moved briefly and found that there was no discomfort at all.
On the contrary, because of the lush plants, the oxygen and negative ion content in the air are relatively high, giving him a very comfortable feeling.
There is moderate light all around, not from the sun, but like a polar day phenomenon.
Like the outside, there are day and night inside the secret, and the sky during the day is brighter than at night.
It's just that the day and night in the secret realm are not that clear. There is no scorching sun in the sky during the day, and there is no bright moonlight falling at night.
Therefore, in the secret realm, it is difficult to determine the southeast, northwest, and northwest.
However, the method commonly used in the wild to determine the direction based on the sparsity of tree rings is of little use in the secret realm.
Because the principle of judging the direction of annual rings is based on the sunny side of the plant, the growth will be more vigorous, so the annual rings in this direction will be relatively sparse.
On the contrary, the annual rings will be denser.
However, the sparseness of the growth rings here can determine one thing, which is the direction of the core location of the secret realm.
The energy cycle principle of the secret realm is that the closer to the core area, the stronger the light or energy radiation, and the denser the sun-loving trees and plants. The sparseness of the annual rings of these trees indicates the orientation of the core area.
Richard used the mimic wristband to transform into a knight's sword, cut off a tree casually, observed the growth rings, and determined the location of the core area.
However, he did not move towards the core area.
The first thing he did when he came to the Norman Secret Land was to meet up with Stepina.
Therefore, the direction he is traveling now is exactly towards the direction he sensed Stepina.
With the survival experience of the gray fern wilderness, Richard galloped all the way!
Relying on the apprentice's extreme mental power and the breath-containing effects of Rodrigo's meditation method, Richard can always detect and avoid some powerful monsters in advance.
Of course, he would not let go of the energy points that came to his door for monsters that were not that strong and could be dealt with by Richard with one sword.
About an hour later, Richard suddenly stopped and his ears moved slightly, as if there was movement coming from the right front. Immediately, he found a thick tree to hide.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, the clear sound of fighting came.
A figure appeared directly in front of Richard's field of vision and fled quickly from right to left.
With his keen vision, Richard just took a glance and saw that the other party was wearing a gray wizard robe.
Although he couldn't see the pattern on the opponent's chest clearly, he must be an apprentice of the three major undead wizard academies.
Then the chasing enemy must be...
"Boom!"
A dark fireball the size of a washbasin suddenly bombarded the trunk of a tall tree a few meters behind the man, causing a violent explosion.
After the scorching flames burned quickly, the tree trunks were quickly corroded by dark gray energy.
Under the influence of the double damage, a terrifyingly huge hole was corroded into the trunk of the big tree, enough to fit a seven or eight-year-old child.
Richard was shocked, because although Dark Fireball is also a zero-level witchcraft, it requires the caster to have dual elemental affinity of darkness and fire, making it very difficult to cast.
Obviously, the party chasing the gray robe apprentice must be a master among the night elves.
After thinking for a moment, Richard began to prepare for battle, planning to rescue the apprentice in front of him first and ask about the situation.
However, when he saw clearly the enemy behind him, he immediately retracted his eager figure.
What caught Richard's eyes was a huge spider monster, the size of a calf. The dark fireball just hit was actually its masterpiece, and behind it were at least five more people wearing fine knight armor. Night Elf.
hiss! Spider Knights!
Richard did not expect to encounter one of the elites of the night elves, the Spider Knights, so quickly.
Obviously, nothing can be done!
And judging from this scene, the wizard apprentices of the three major colleges in the secret realm are facing a more difficult situation than imagined.
This made his heart tremble, and he couldn't help but become more worried about Mei Luo's condition.
Sister Mei Luo, I hope you can hold on!
Richard frowned and immediately backed away slowly, making a slight detour to avoid the other party.
He continued to speed up in Stephana's direction.
It didn't take long for Richard to realize that Stephana should be right in front.
Therefore, Richard maximized the breath-containing effect of meditation, relying on the cover of vegetation to slowly move forward.
I saw Stephana and three male night elf knights, talking and laughing as they headed to their left.
And judging from the formation, Stephana was walking in the middle of the three people. Of the other three, one was leading the way in front, and the other two were protecting Stephana on both sides, but they were all about half a body behind.
This shows that Stephana has a higher status among the four.
After thinking for a moment, Richard figured out why, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Apparently, this three-person team of spider knights mistook Stephana in front of them for the dead high-ranking spider woman Shadra.
Sure enough, as they approached, Richard immediately verified his guess after hearing their conversation clearly.
"Your Highness Shadra, how did you enter the Norman secret realm?" A male night elf knight asked respectfully.
He was also very confused, and he clearly remembered that in the action plan, only one Highness, Her Highness Dolores, entered the secret realm of Normandy.
Why did His Highness Shadra, who had disappeared for a while, suddenly enter the secret realm?
Could it be said that this is the order of the mistress?
He was just an ordinary member of the Spider Knights, and he had limited knowledge of the action plan, so he asked immediately.
Stephana smiled coquettishly and said: "I was injured by an official wizard of the surface humans before, and my strength was greatly damaged. After recovering for a long time, the mistress ordered me to come this time because I had a special mission." "Why,
you Do you want to know the secret order of the mistress?"
"I dare not." I saw beads of sweat on the forehead of the male night elf knight.
Richard's eyes lit up, it was obvious that Stephana had begun to deceive her.
As far as he knew, the night elves were a matriarchal society, and the social status of ordinary spider women was much higher than that of ordinary night elf men.
Not to mention, Shadra, a high-level spider woman who was originally a first-level wizard.
And judging from His Highness's title, the three night elves have already recognized Stephana's noble status!
Stephana was looking left and right at this moment. Although the three night elves found it strange, they also thought that Her Highness Shadra was more cautious.
But Richard knew that Stephana was looking for her own place.
He can sense Stephana's position, and obviously, Stephana on the other side of the blood oath contract can also sense him.
"Your Highness Dolores, I will be very happy to see you." The night elf male knight complimented.
"Hey, Dolores is here too?"
Stephana seemed to have a vague impression of the three words, but because the memory she inherited was extremely fragmented and missing, she could not recall the other person's specific face or information.
She only knows that the other party is very familiar to her, and her strength should no longer be as good as hers.
At this time, I saw a vulture-tailed arrow shooting like lightning from the dense forest to the night elf knight who was opening the way.
The arrow speed is too fast!
When the arrow was almost about to hit the target, a sound of "whoosh!" was heard in the air. "Watch out!
" A night elf in the rear could not help but see the fatal arrow shot at his companion, his eyes wide open.
"Ding!"
What surprised Richard.
Unexpectedly, in his eyes, the night elf knight who was destined to die actually escaped from his heart at the critical moment. He was only severely injured in the abdomen, but it was not fatal yet!
This made Richard feel shocked and he realized that his opponent this time was different from before.
They are absolutely elite. Compared with him, they may only be a hair's breadth away!
"Enemy attack! Protect His Highness!" The dark night man in the center shouted instantly.
Another Dark Night Man raised his shield to guard in front of Stephana and blew a whistle. In an instant, his companion Demon Spider was behind and rushed towards the bushes on the left where Richard was hiding.
Suddenly, in the surprised eyes of the three night elves, a huge and necessary abomination suddenly sprang out of the depths of the dense forest, accompanied by a sound of snapping grass and trees.
"Dong dong dong!"
Holding an oversized iron ax and a hammer ball, he took wild strides and attacked the night elves.
The demon spider, on the other hand, faced the Abomination head-on with just one move and was knocked several meters away, showing the absolute difference in strength.
Just when the three spider knights were facing a formidable enemy and focused all their attention on the extremely ferocious abomination in front of them, they saw Stephana behind them, her lips slightly raised, revealing a strange smile.
Her originally white and tender hands had quietly turned into a pair of black blade arms shining with cold light.
