[Rebirth of the Future] Furutake Era

early morning.

The air in the forest outside Gomobend Sea Valley is very fresh. Eighteen stayed up all night, but because of his understanding of the original magic, he came out of the tent refreshed and stretched in the morning light. Eighteen Four Glancing down, everyone in the mercenary group hadn't gotten up yet.

He frowned suddenly, feeling something was wrong.

——It was still the same as when we first entered the Beamon territory, everything was too quiet, not even a bird song.

After a while, everyone got up one after another. Shiba stood for a while, but still didn’t say much. It happened that Artofes put away the tent. Bodie also spent the night in Shiba’s tent the night before. Individuals are ready to go.

The resident of Thorn Rose suddenly let out a scream that resounded through the sky.

Shiba immediately sank his face, he knew that something unexpected happened again.

"Tara! Tara is gone!" A man in a magic robe ran out from the public tent. He seemed to be very scared, his face was full of panic, and he rushed out to face all the people who were looking sideways at him. Shout, "Tara is gone!!!"

"What are you panicking about!?" Robin appeared quickly, frowning and staring at the startled young man, then stretched out his hand and pulled him towards his tent, saying loudly: "Tara He came to tell me on leave last night, and I told him to go back first, so there's nothing to panic about!"

As he said that, he winked at Mani and Shiba who stood out together, then opened the curtain and pulled the dragged magician in forcefully.

"Mumu, what do you think?" Shiba looked at the direction of Robin's tent with a half-smile, and grinned, but there was no joy in his eyes.

Atophis was also full of worry: "Something went wrong."

Shiba shook his head, waved to Artofis and Bodie and said, "Forget it, he has hired someone anyway, so let's go and have a look together."

At the door of the tent, Mani ran into him who was about to go in together. Mani and Shiba bumped into each other face to face, then paused, and bowed slightly to let Shiba go first.

Shiba went in unceremoniously, and the first thing he saw was Robin's gloomy face, which was about to storm.

"What's the matter?" Shiba said calmly, and glanced at the magician. He was holding a pitch-black wand in his hand, with a yellow magic crystal on the top of the wand, which seemed to be an earth mage.

He was still panicked, as if afraid that Robin would not believe him, and tried very hard to explain what he meant.

Robin looked at him with deep meaning in his eyes.

"Are you sure? You didn't hear anything last night?" After a few people listened for a while, Mani spoke suddenly. Shiba glanced sideways at him and shook his head.

Although Mani hid it well, the murderous intent in his eyes had no intention of escaping Shiba at all.

This earth mage named Tula is the biological brother of the missing Tara, and also a roommate in the same tent, but when he woke up this morning, he found that Tara was missing, his quilt fell on the ground, and there was a small There were bloodstains in the area, but they were very shallow, and there was only a small circle around the bed, and then on the ground inside the tent, there were some traces of the grass being trampled.

Even Artofis felt that there must be something wrong, how could Mani and the others not guess it?

"Captain! This place is really evil, we can't go any further!" Tula was terrified, clutching her chest and shaking her head, "And Tara doesn't know where she went, I'm going to find him!"

"Stop talking nonsense, Tulla," Mani said with a gloomy face before Robin could speak, "Are you going to delay the itinerary of two regiments because of your own affairs?"

"But...!" Tula's eyes widened in disbelief, as if he couldn't think of a rebuttal for a while.

"You go out first, Tula." Robin interrupted Mani's unspoken words, waved at Tula, and comforted him: "I will discuss your opinion with Captain Mani, but don't mess up after going out. What are you talking about, if you disturb the morale of the troops in the regiment, then no one will take the risk to find Tara."

Tula immediately nodded in surprise, and then promised: "Don't worry! I will definitely not say anything!"

Seeing his back when he went out, Shiba lowered his eyes and said, "He's right, I hope you guys can leave early, it will be very dangerous inside."

Mani glanced at him, not knowing what he thought of, smiled and lowered his head and said, "Mr. Nan, is he too careful? Why is it so easy to go wrong? We went in this time just to find Black Rose and the others. Don't get me wrong."

Shiba shook his head, seeing the guard in his eyes, and he didn't want to say too much. After all, he was an outsider, and the life and death of the mercenary group was in their hands, and it had nothing to do with Shiba.

"Mani, I think what Mr. Nan said is right!" Robin seemed to have some concerns, and after leaving Tula, he also seemed a little anxious, fidgeting on the chair, "Our camp is guarded by people, Tara It is absolutely impossible to go out like this, there must be something..."

"Robin!" Mani interrupted him loudly, staring gloomily into his eyes, "Remember! What the hell are we here for!"

Eighteen raised his brows, turned around and didn't want to listen to too many secrets, and took Athophis and Bodie out.

Bodie stepped out of the tent, squinting his eyes and gloatingly smiled: "Just watch... What choices will these self-proclaimed righteous collateral magicians make? I bet there must be some What is enough to make them dedicate their members' lives to the temptation..."

"Shut up, if you don't want to get angry," Shiba turned around and glared at him, then frowned at Artofes, who also looked at him worriedly.

"Mumu", Shiba stretched out his hand to hold the palm of Artofys, his tone was a bit heavy, "The road ahead will be difficult, I hope you can protect yourself, don't worry about anything in the mercenary group Go ahead."

Artofis nodded knowingly, raised his hand to stroke the top of Shiba's forehead and hair, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes: "I'm sorry..." I can't protect you.

Shiba gave him a blank look and didn't say anything more.

Half an hour later, Robin summoned the Briar Roses and announced that Tara, who was in the team, had deserted last night while taking advantage of the darkness, and Tula was also sent out of the forest because of his brother's instigation.

So everyone dressed up again and set off on the road, but there was no earth magician named Tula in the team anymore.

Shiba shook his head, sometimes, greed is so terrible, maybe it will not be a powerful opponent that destroys this mercenary group in the end, but because of the leader's greed.

Taking advantage of the faint daylight, everyone started to move towards the inside of the canyon. The canyon was really too humid and humid. If you stepped on the ground, there would be thick mud, and the temperature began to drop. Eighteen took out the clothes to keep warm from the space ring and gave them Artofis and Bodie put on clothes, and the two mercenary regiments were also wrapped in thick winter clothes. Their heartbeats were inevitably affected, and their progress slowed down.

Shiba has been paying attention to the movement around him with his ears upright, so as he walks, he feels a little flustered in his heart.

He can always hear the very, very slight sound of solid water coming out of the mud at a place not too far away from the team. It is very small, maybe it is far away, but it is definitely always behind the mercenary group. .

This sound of water is very noisy and chaotic. If it is really people, there are a large number of them, but the sound is so small, it should be far away from the team, right?

Shiba comforted himself like this, but he couldn't help but plan for the worst in his heart. He led the two people to gradually speed up the pace, and soon walked to the front of the team, and then he reminded Mani in a very low voice that something happened. Mani surprised people for a while, then listened for a long time with his ears sideways, but didn't hear anything, and frowning secretly glanced at Shiba.

——This Mr. Nan is simply adding to the chaos.

Shiba noticed his unkind eyes and felt bored, so he didn't say anything more.Anyway, he has done his best, so who told him not to listen?

He and Artofys made preparations in secret and no longer followed behind, but unexpectedly, before everyone had left for a long time, a sharp scream suddenly came from the bottom of the line.

Everyone panicked immediately. They had just experienced Beamon's attack, and everyone was a little nervous. The screaming at this time was really inappropriate, but after seeing the attacking beast clearly, everyone couldn't bear the thought of complaining. up.

Bodie backed away trembling with bloodless face: "God... big stomach ants... so many big stomach ants! God!"

At the end of the line, on the mud-covered yellow land, on both sides that had not been stepped on, a large mass of disgusting and rotten mud was slowly pushed out, and then huge ants were exposed one by one.

This kind of ant looks very strange, with a big head, a big body, and an unusually big tail, but the six legs on the body are thin and short, and there are no tentacles on the top of the head. Instead of the tentacles, there are a pair of scary big eyes similar to the standard spiders. An ant is about the size of a man's foot, but much higher than the instep.The edge of the clenching forceps on the top of the head exudes a faint cold light, which makes the scalp tingle.

The moment he saw this group of ants, Shiba immediately understood why so many magicians were so afraid of the humble ants.

These ants are obviously carnivorous. If there were one or two, it would be easy to deal with, but in the blink of an eye, at the end of the line, a whole group of large stomach ants appeared densely and densely!
