The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Ryan looked up at the dense forest ahead, as if he had noticed something.

Suddenly, Cookie's ears stood up, and he bared his teeth and growled.

At this time, dense rustling sounds came from a large fan-shaped area in front, as if hundreds of small animals were rushing towards them.

The next second, hundreds of red-eyed squirrels as big as puppies, with flesh and blood exposed on their skin, rushed towards a man and a dog.

Ryan could naturally sense that the mental state of these red-eyed squirrels seemed to be a little bit wrong, with a ferocious expression, sharp incisors and scarlet gums, which was very different from the gentle state seen in the forest before.

There is no doubt that the root cause of this situation must be the Mother Tree Sect that held some special ceremony here.

Facing the attacking red-eyed squirrels, Ryan did not use his newly mastered crystal killing move "sawtooth cutting". Instead, he casually pointed his finger, and three fine, silver-light-emitting mesh-shaped metal giant nets quickly blasted towards the squirrels.

"Swish!"

These red-eyed squirrels seemed to instinctively sense the danger and wanted to jump sideways to avoid it, but the three metal nets suddenly changed from overlapping front and back to three nets arranged horizontally, moving forward in unison.

For a moment, this group of red-eyed squirrels was like a school of fish in the sea encountering a trawling fishing boat, and they were immediately caught in one net!

"Chi!"

The extra fine mesh of the metal cutting net this time resulted in almost no fish escaping the net. Suddenly, a bloody storm rose from the air.

"Patta, pat!"

The flesh and blood of the red-eyed squirrels fell like raindrops.

In less than two seconds, hundreds of red-eyed squirrels were killed by Ryan's liquefied killing move "Multiple Cut Nets", and the few remaining ones were also killed by the sharp claws of the greyhound war dog Cookie.

It can be seen that Cookie seems to dislike these mutant squirrels with exposed flesh and blood.

It was not willing to open its mouth to bite, and just killed it with its claws, and then threw it aside with disgust.

"This forest has been alienated." Ryan looked ahead and thought to himself.

Combined with the range he saw on the airship before, this area is quite wide, probably tens of thousands of hectares.

"In such a large area, the Mother Tree Cult should have held a large prayer ceremony here, relying on the power of the gods to achieve the current effect."

"But this kind of prayer requires a lot of preparation, rituals, sacrifices, and multiple hosts, etc. It seems that the intelligence from the headquarters is correct. If there are no traitors on the elves, this thing is almost impossible to do."

After a little thought, Ryan continued to move forward.

He recalled the map in his mind. Although his destination was the elf town Bashalan where Anna was, there happened to be an elf outpost along the way. He planned to take a look and confirm his guess.

At the same time.

A clearing in the forest between the elf town Bashala and Ferdinand City.

On the ground, there was a witch array pattern covering hundreds of square meters, with crisscrossing lines such as straight lines, triangles and circles. The pattern looked extremely complicated and emitted a faint green light.

This is actually a large prayer ritual of the Secret Snake Cult.

However, if you look closely, you can see a gap in the northeast corner of the ritual, as if a meteorite crater several meters deep was blasted out by some powerful witchcraft or extraordinary combat skills.

What is more striking is that hundreds of handsome and slender pure-blooded elves are tied up in the center of the witch formation. Judging from their figures and faces, there are men, women, young and old, and it seems that all the elves in a village or town have been captured.

"Vice-Pope of Quileute, that man is too fast. We can't catch up with him and let him run away again." A man in a black robe with a python pattern on his chest wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a panic.

The middle-aged man named Quileute was covered in a black robe and a black hood on his head, so his face could not be seen clearly.

He just nodded and did not blame his men.

Because the opponent is very fast, and is good at two-handed swords, he is strong and seems to be not far from being a sword saint.

The first time the opponent appeared was yesterday, in the elf town of Bashalan.

At that time, they had just captured the town and were planning to collect the elf captives. The other party actually took advantage of his carelessness and rescued a half-elf girl.

However, this was not a big deal. If this kind of mixed blood was used for prayer rituals, the effect was not as good as that of pure-blooded elves, and it was not precious, so he did not take it to heart.

Although this kind of thing happened, it was a bit of a slap in the face of the deputy pope who led the team, but compared with his main mission this time, this was not important.

But what happened next made him a little angry!

Last night and this morning, the other party raided twice, interrupting the prayer ritual that was about to be arranged, and at the same time, they planned to rescue these pure-blooded elves.

This was very embarrassing!

Of course, he did not do nothing. He organized several encirclements and suppressions, but still let the other party escape.

Of course, it’s not that the other party’s strength is stronger than his. Quileute can see that the other party has not entered the epic level. The problem lies with him, because the gift he obtained in the original snake feast prayer is the bloodline of the legendary earthly python ‘Sladran’.

A legendary bloodline that tends to be gigantic, brute force, biting, entanglement and poisonous. Relatively speaking, speed is his weakest point.

On the contrary, the opponent seems to be best at sword skills and speed.

This gave Quileute a headache!

"Has Minos not arrived yet?" Quileute seemed to have thought of something and asked with his head tilted.

"Lord Minos should be here soon. Two hours ago, we received a message that Lord Minos was less than a hundred miles away from us." The subordinate beside him bowed and answered.

Minos is the number one existence among the twelve secret snake messengers.

As for why Quileute asked about Minos, it was because Minos' speed could be said to be the fastest in the entire Secret Snake Cult.

If Minos was there, the man with the big sword on his back would not be able to get away, because as long as Minos entangled the other party for a moment, his attack would definitely hit the other party.

"Well, contact Minos and ask him to speed up." Quileute said.

"Yes, Lord Vice Pope." The black-robed subordinate quickly turned around and left.

"No need, I'm here."

Before the words fell, a figure flashed, and with a circle of pale white air waves sweeping around, the next second, he came to stand in front of Quileute, and at this time, the rumbling sound of breaking through the air caused by his high-speed movement came.

This person is about thirty years old, with golden curly hair, slender figure, especially a pair of legs, which seem to account for 70% of the body. In Ryan's previous life, it was a long-legged Oppa.

The other party was wearing a noble hunting suit, and the identity of the Secret Snake Cult could not be seen at all.

However, if you look closely at the back of his left hand, you can find a trace of connection between the other party and the Secret Snake Cult. On the back of his hand is a thin emerald green snake tattoo, vivid and lifelike!

"Vice Pope of Quileute."

The young man named Minos smiled slightly, put his right hand on his chest, and bowed to Quileute.

Seeing Minos, Quileute smiled under his hood and said kindly: "Minos, you came faster than I thought."

"Just now, we encountered an enemy. The enemy was very fast. If you were here, the enemy would not have escaped from me."

"Quileute Vice Pope, you are too modest. It's better to leave such a small matter as tracking to me."

"Which direction did the enemy go?" Minos turned his head and asked the black robe beside him.

"Lord Minos, the enemy went in the direction of Ferdinand City." The black robe subordinate immediately bowed.

"Minos, the enemy's swordsmanship is very superb, and he is not far from the Sword Saint. Just find him."

"Oh? I see, Quileute Vice Pope, I'll go now." Minos smiled and said.

"Hmm."

"Pay attention to my signal."

Before he finished speaking, a roar of air waves came, and Minos, who stayed in the original place, gradually disappeared. Everyone suddenly found that Minos in front of them was just a residual shadow, and his real body was already dozens of meters away.

This speed is really terrifying!

But the members of the Secret Snake Cult who are familiar with Minos know better that in addition to speed, Minos is also particularly good at poison, which is why he can sit firmly in the top position of the Twelve Secret Snakes.

Minos, nicknamed "Evil Snake"!

And Ryan, after encountering a wave of attacks by red-eyed squirrels.

In the next ten minutes, he encountered two batches of other mutant creatures in succession. Although they were also easily eliminated, Ryan found something wrong.

It seems that these infected wild animals seem to be controlled by someone behind the scenes.

If this is the case, Ryan immediately looked up, and his sharp eyes looked at the sky through the mottled shadows of the trees, and determined his position in Ferdinand Forest at this time through the blood feather.

Comparing the map that he had memorized long ago, Ryan found that he was about seven or eight kilometers away from an elf outpost.

"If my guess is correct, the other party should be near that outpost." Ryan immediately moved quickly in the direction of the elf outpost.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Sure enough, the frequency of obstacles Ryan encountered next became higher and higher.

Brown bears with bloody flesh turned inside out, giant tusked wild boars, etc., came one after another!

However, Ryan laughed, because this proved that his guess was basically correct.

At this time, suddenly the loud cry of Blood Feather came from the sky, and three mutant vultures emitting red light were seen rushing towards Blood Feather. For a while, the two sides fought and fought.

Ryan's mind changed slightly, commanding Blood Feather to immediately break away from the melee with these mutant vultures and swoop down, and these mutant vultures naturally chased after him and swooped down as well.

After the blood feather landed in front of Ryan, Ryan waved his hand and saw a huge silver metal net in front of the mutant vultures that were chasing them!

The three mutant vultures were just diving, and they felt a huge silver net suddenly appear in front of them. Before they could adjust their direction, they were accompanied by a "chi" sound of a sharp blade entering their bodies, and turned into three piles of minced meat.

Suddenly, a mixture of feathers and blood and flesh floated down from the sky!

The blood feather chirped happily a few times, rubbed against Ryan, and flew into the sky again.

It's not that the blood feather is not strong in combat, but Ryan felt that since his master was here, there was no need to let his war pet fall into a situation of being besieged.

At this time, the thin slice on his chest vibrated.

Ryan took out the thin slice and injected mental power.

Immediately, Claire's voice came from the thin slice: "Captain Ryan, I'm Claire."

"Claire, I'm Ryan, please speak."

"Captain, sorry to bother you. We got the latest news from the headquarters. It seems that because it is the land of the elves, the Secret Snake Cult has made a large-scale move this time. Among the personnel sent are Deputy Pope Quileute and the number one of the Twelve Secret Snake Envoys."

"Hiss!"

Suddenly, the witchcraft communication seemed to be disturbed by something.

At the same time, Ryan seemed to hear some distant whispering in the void.

Although it was not difficult for him to resist the current level of mental interference with his mental power, he basically understood why even the birds in the sky were infected.

After all, it is easy for birds to leave when they find something wrong.

"Deputy Pope Quileute seems to be an epic strong man." Ryan's eyes flickered.

Although Claire didn't finish her words just now, he already knew that Claire should come to remind him.

"As for the first among the twelve secret snake masters, I seem to have heard the Ereda sisters mention it. It seems to be a guy nicknamed 'Evil Snake'."

"Interesting, I hope you are strong enough to let me test the combat effectiveness of the dragon vein wizard."

After hearing this news, Ryan was calm and fearless.

After killing the mutant vulture, Ryan soon came to a collapsed and burned building. According to the markings on the map, this was undoubtedly an elf outpost.

But the ruins in front of him can only vaguely see the remains of a square house and several long logs of charred wood left on the ground.

The logs of charred wood should be the support pillars of the outpost.

Ryan touched the temperature and there was no heat left. It was obviously more than 24 hours. In addition, he looked around and did not find any elf corpses.

However, there were several obvious dragging marks and bloodstains on the ground around. It seemed that the corpses had been taken away.

Because if it was bitten by wild animals, there would be some traces left.

Suddenly, Ryan stood up and looked at a place in the dense forest.

A hoarse voice came:

"Slave-hunting team? This is not the place for you!"

"Didn't anyone tell you? You've crossed the line, get out!"

At this time, a hooded black-robed man slowly walked out of the dense forest.

Obviously, the other party misjudged Ryan's identity.

This is because in the forest, tracking with the help of the dog's sensitive sense of smell is a common battle pet combination for the slave-hunting team members in Ferdinand Forest.

So, although Ryan is wearing a wizard robe, the slave-hunting team here is very strong, and wizards are not uncommon. Of course, the main reason is that the combination of Ryan and Cookie, one man and one dog, is inadvertently in line with the appearance of the slave-hunting team members.

No wonder the cultist in front of him made a mistake at first sight!

And Ryan felt it a little, and found that the breath coming from the other party was familiar.

It seemed to be very similar to the breath of an enemy he had fought before.

Immediately, Ryan thought of something.

"Yes, the other party's aura is almost exactly the same as that of the flesh and blood tree spirit. It seems that the one who attacked the elf outpost is indeed the Mother Tree Sect."

"However, judging from the other party's tone, it seems that the slave-hunting team here, or at least part of the slave-hunting team, seems to have reached some kind of agreement with this Mother Tree Sect."

"In this case, this guy in front of us cannot be killed directly."

"Perhaps. Interrogating him is a more appropriate choice!" Ryan thought to himself.

So, when Ryan's dark eyes looked at the other party again.

Somehow, a creepy feeling suddenly surged in the heart of the black-robed man!
