Archdemon

"Abu... Abu" the halflings next to him shouted anxiously.

A halfling hunter even drew his bow and arrow, and nervously asked Huo Ling and his group: "What did you do to Abu!?"

Huo Ling rode the nightmare slowly and said: "We didn't do anything... He looked like he was scared."

On the other side, Abu, who was urgently called by his companions, groaned and woke up with heavy breaths.

After Huo Ling noticed it, he smiled at the halfling hunter: "Look, your Abu has woken up... Just ask him."

"Abu, are you okay?"

"What happened to you just now, Abu, did someone attack you!?"

Several halflings around asked in a flurry, and some helped Abu up.

Abu's spiritual vision had been closed. He looked at Huo Ling with lingering fear, then shook his head and said, "It was my own carelessness. This adult's strength is too terrifying..."

When Abu said this, his eyes twitched. He really couldn't imagine how this human would have such a strong fear of death.

"Team leader, didn't you say that you have controlled your fear aura?" Lingyin lowered her voice and asked Huo Ling from behind.

"The fear aura is controlled, but this Abu has something. He seems to have a strong intuition or spiritual vision, so he can see my fear aura." Huo Ling looked at Abu who was surrounded by many halflings.

These halflings are short and weak, and even their vigilance is not very high. Under the protection of the elves, they live too easily.

After a long while, the village chief of the halflings walked to Fei Niao with an embarrassed look on his face: "This adult, we misunderstood you."

"It doesn't matter, you should evacuate here quickly." Fei Niao waved his hand indifferently.

After hearing this, the halfling said, "My lords, come in and have a drink of our brewed wine."

Huo Ling and his companions followed the village chief into the village. The halflings were only about half the height of humans, and their houses were low.

They walked under a pavilion, where there were several tall tree stumps.

The village chief said, "Our room is too small, so whenever the elves come, we always receive them here."

A halfling brought a wine jar that was almost as big as their body, and when it was opened, there was a scent of fruit wine.

The village chief picked up the wine jar and poured fruit wine for Huo Ling and others.

"Village chief, you don't have to receive us. You should pack up and evacuate quickly. The demon may not be far from here." Shitou said with a serious face.

"Evacuate... but we don't know where to evacuate... will the demon really come?" The village chief sighed.

The halflings were too weak. Usually, few people in their village left the village, and even hunting was done nearby.

If there are powerful monsters coming, they usually call on the elves to drive them away.

Now they are asked to migrate, but they really don't know where to go.

"Go in this direction, there are still migrating teams over there, you follow the main force, and the elves will arrange to escort you." Huo Ling picked up the fruit wine bowl, cast a spell to detect it, took a sip, and pointed out a road to the halflings, where Ren Jingchen and his team escorted the elves to evacuate the village.

"Thank you, sir!" The halfling village chief stood up and bowed deeply.

"Go and get busy..." Huo Ling did not refuse his salute, and said after he raised his head.

The halfling village chief left, and he quickly called on the tribesmen to pack up their belongings, looking at the large and small bags of things that the halflings had packed up.

Huo Ling did not remind them that this was an escape, not a simple move.

"Team leader, don't you need to persuade them to leave as soon as possible, and not to pack up these sundries?" Lingyin asked in a low voice.

Huo Ling glanced at her, and then said, "You can't persuade people of some things. People always regain their senses after something happens... If these halflings listen to me, they won't pack so many bags."

After listening, Ling Yin didn't say anything, but drank the fruit wine silently.

After a while, a short figure came to Huo Ling's side.

It was the halfling Abu, who also held a jar of wine in his arms.

Huo Ling looked at him with doubtful eyes.

"My lords, we are leaving. Thank you for notifying us. This is the wine I brewed myself. It tastes better than the one brewed by the village chief. You can try it!" Abu had a simple smile on his face.

Yang Shu patted Abu on the shoulder, took the jar of fruit wine, and poured it for several people."Sir, where are you going next?" Abu walked to Huo Ling's side and looked up at him.

"We will wait here for the demons to arrive and buy time for your evacuation." Huo Ling took a sip of the fruit wine brewed by Abu and raised his eyebrows. The fruit wine tasted very good.

"Can I stay?" Abu asked nervously, swallowing his saliva.

"You?... Why stay?" Huo Ling put down the wine bowl and smiled.

"I can help you fight. I am also a silver-level druid! My strength is also one of the best among my tribesmen..." Abu said, patting his chest.

Huo Ling looked at the young halfling and asked with a smile on his face: "Have you seen a demon?"

The halfling shook his head, "I have only heard that demons are very cruel, they like to kill and devour souls, but I have never seen them."

Huo Ling nodded and said: "Yes, demons do like to kill and souls. You haven't even seen a demon, so you want to stay and fight with us?"

"Yes, sir, you have come from afar, and you are willing to stay here to stop the demons in order to buy time for the evacuation of our village.

As a member of the village, I naturally have to contribute to the villagers, even if it is only a little bit." Abu said with a firm look.

"You have psychic vision, right? Did you see what's on me?" Huo Ling asked, looking at the serious halfling in front of him.

Abu recalled the terrifying black shadow on Huo Ling's body that he saw with psychic vision before, and the flying terrifying face, and his face became slightly paler.

He nodded and said, "I saw a little bit..."

Huo Ling said, "That is the aura of fear. Only when there are more lives killed can this kind of thing condense. You were scared just now, right? When you fainted."

He paused, without waiting for Abu to answer, and then said, "I just got this aura of fear, and there are many demons who have more terrifying auras of fear. In this case, are you still willing to stay here and fight?"

Abu was a little shaken, but he looked back at the busy halfling villagers in the village, and gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to stay!"

"But your strength is not worth mentioning, and you are not even brave enough..."

"I can be a sentinel to keep watch... I can also know the arrival of demons in advance through plants. I... I am a good cook, and I can also cook for you!" Abu clenched his hands and looked at Huo Ling.

Huo Ling looked at the simple half-man boy in front of him and suddenly laughed. He patted Abu on the head and said, "Then you stay here... Be careful to protect yourself. Don't blame me if you die."

"Okay!!"
