The content of the "First Class" may be a bit too much for a boy who has not yet been exposed to the adventurer field, and Gene gradually felt dizzy.

Eddie saw the boy's embarrassment and smiled and stopped talking.

"Fight a moment and follow me." The intermediate archer finally reminded him.

The group continued to move forward.

Gradually, the number of giant trees covering the sky and the sun began to decrease. After the fog disappeared, a magnificent and desolate ruins of architectural images came into view:

There are obvious traces left by humans here, broken walls and ruins everywhere, crooked trees grow across bricks and stone corrugated, and the collapsed bluestone wall is covered with moss. Twenty thick stone pillars that were hugging each other were all broken, leaving only broken stubble with uneven heights...

It can be seen that there was a huge building here a long time ago.

"Is this... a palace? an ancient castle? or an abandoned temple?" Orwell looked around with his axe on his shoulder.

"It's indeed a bit similar to the main palace hall of King Carl's Court..." Sarbell nodded.

"Don't look at me, it's too old, and the young magician can't recognize it. I'm afraid I have to go back and ask the teacher." Erin shrugged.

"Look, the enemy is there." Eddie narrowed his eyes and looked straight into the depths of the ruins!

Everyone followed his eyes and saw three familiar huge figures.

In a place similar to the hall deep in the ruins, the tree fairy queen leaned lazily on the high stone seat. Below, the mutant goblin king climbed up and down restlessly on the gray stone steps. Below, a huge monster tree that almost occupied the entire floor of the hall was naturally the leader of the mutant tree demon.

The three mutant demons all faced the adventurers and roared maliciously.

There were countless little lost monsters, standing up from every corner of the ruins, rubbing the simple stone daggers and small bows and arrows in their hands. The red eyes were like densely packed with red light spots, firmly locking the invaders in the dark.

"According to the plan, Orwell, you are responsible for guiding the Goblin King! The magicians deal with the leader of the tree demon, I will deal with the tree fairy queen, Lord Sarbella, please disperse the lost monsters in time and be sure to take good care of each of us!" Blond Eddie quickly repeated the division of labor for everyone.

"No problem! Hey ahhh-" Orwell roared and rushed up the first one.

"The great god of fire element...fireball technique!"

boom--

Before Orwell could reach the opposite side, a head-sized fireball had already arrived first, crossed his shoulder and hit the dense canopy of the mutant tree demon! The extremely high temperature flames instantly ignited countless branches and leaves.

The battle begins instantly!

The only red-haired Gene, who had no combat power, had already been so scared that he hugged behind Eddie.

——————————————

"Boom--"

The distant explosions and roars from the depths of the forest made the people of the Self-Defense Corps prick up their ears.

[Have the battle started...]

Of course, ordinary villagers could not imagine what kind of battle it was, but the light could already feel the intensity from the sound! The ground was shaking, and wild beasts kept running out of panic from the depths of the forest, and there were also monsters who lost their hearts running in as if they were summoned. The common point between the two was that they had no time to pay attention to this group of self-defense team members standing in the woods!

At this time, the cocoons in this area have been basically checked out by people. Fortunately, three children were found.

But unfortunately one of them is dead.

I don’t know how he died, maybe he was suffocated, maybe he was poisoned, or even mentally collapsed... And the member of the Self-Defense Corps who had lost his own flesh and blood was kneeling on the ground and hugging his son’s little body tightly, without saying a word.

This made Daren even more anxious.

[Nothing happens, Gene.]

Of course, Deren asked his sister about whether Gene could survive in the end, but Enid's answer was not sure: "In the depths of the dark valley, there is a mysterious force, and I can't see through that fog... The only thing I can be sure of is that you are not in danger of life."

"I'm not in danger of my life..." Thinking of this, Daren suddenly stood up and walked deeper into the woods with his shield and sword!

"Stop!" A rough big hand suddenly pressed on Deren's shoulder. It was the commander of the regiment Antonio. He looked serious: "Dalen where are you going? We promised Adventurers to look for it here only! Without their help, walking around will likely be in danger of life."

"I won't be in danger. I'll find Gene as soon as possible!" Daren looked back at the middle-aged man, his little face full of stubbornness, and he struggled hard, "Uncle Antonio, please! I still have strength, just let me go..."

The force of his struggle was convincing - Antonio almost couldn't hold him back.

"Absolutely! No!" Antonio leaned over and stared in the boy's eyes, "Old Bull saved my life three times. I can't let his son act alone. This is taking the risk of his own life!"

"But everyone has no strength anymore, I am not tired..." Deren gritted his teeth, suddenly moved his heart, turned his head to look at the petite figure under the pointed magic hat on the other side.

"Master Magician! Are you called Blanche?" Daren shouted, looking at her with hope, "Can you please walk deeper with me? You are an adventurer, so you should not be afraid of those ordinary heartless monsters? I still have the energy, and I can explore the way forward!"

The magician remained silent.

After a long time, her figure slowly stood up and walked towards Deren.

————————————

"So, is that guy named Gene... really important to you?"

In the dense forest, the brunette boy and the magician named Blanche walked one after another... At one moment, the magician girl suddenly asked this.

"Uh? Yes... it's true." Delan was stunned for a moment.

The magician stopped talking, which made Daren a little overwhelmed, and then he could only focus on finding the next glowing tree.

That's right, after getting the magician's consent, Antonio finally allowed Delan to leave the team.

The two walked deep into the dark valley, looking for other glowing trees all the way. Daren was responsible for breaking the cocoon, while the magician used fireball techniques to eliminate the beasts or monsters that surged out from it.

Strangely, every time the enemy turned into ashes in the flames, Deren vaguely felt that the magician girl beside her seemed to have a feeling of "rejoice". Of course, she didn't speak, but the slightly raised curve of her mouth under the brim of the wide magic hat was enough to explain the problem.

And as the times were too many, Delen finally noticed a slight imperceptible phenomenon.

It turns out that every time a monster dies from the magician's fireball, a faint black air will rise from the coke corpse! The black air will gradually turn into a shiny white light spot, like shining dust.

Because it was burned to death, if you don’t look carefully, you will think it is ordinary smoke and Mars.
