The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Soon, Renne and his team were about to arrive at the area where La Gray's team originally discovered the elderly ogre.

At this time, Dean Rudolf on horseback suddenly raised his head, looked forward, and frowned slightly.

At almost the same time, Renn also raised his right hand to make a stop gesture and shouted: "Stop!"

Just now, Renn felt an obvious and malicious spying, located in the dense forest dozens of meters away in front of him.

This kind of spying gaze, he was sure, was not the spying of ordinary beasts, but the gaze of some kind of intelligent creature.

In addition, it can make even Ren feel obvious malice, which shows that the opponent's strength cannot be underestimated.

Dean Rudolf, however, did not pay attention to the prying eyes. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Renn in surprise.

The young man in front of him who had entered the realm of knighthood at such a young age seemed to make him increasingly confused.

Because even he had just noticed the spying gaze just now.

But what he didn't expect was that Ren next to him could immediately notice that a knight had such a keen perception.

You know, he can detect it because he has been a clergyman for a long time, so he has an instinctive sensitivity to malice.

Just as Rudolph was thinking about what conditions he should put forward to impress the young man in front of him, who should fall into the arms of the goddess in his heart, Renn took the initiative and asked:

"Director Rudolf, there seemed to be something spying on us in that direction just now. Do you need to stop and check?"

"Okay, let's take a rest by the way." Rudolph thought for a moment and decided to take a rest.

From Goldsmith Town to Nightsong Forest, although the Templar Knights felt nothing, the team of security guards from the county and the night watchmen from Goldsmith Town were gradually showing signs of fatigue.

As a result, the entire team quickly stopped.

The first is to rest for a while to allow the horses to recover from the energy spent on the road, and the second is to send someone to check the situation around them.

Renn asked Matteo to send night watchmen to guard the surroundings, and at the same time, he sent a few good men to check carefully in a radius of 100 meters, especially in the left front area where he just noticed the prying eyes, to see if they could find anything. What a valuable clue.

After making these arrangements, Renn came to La Grete and asked, "La Grete, is this here?"

As he gradually went deeper into the Night Song Forest, Ren found that Lagrei was a little depressed.

As for the reason?

Ren guessed that it was probably because Lagret was moved by the scene and remembered the scene that day.

"Well, yes, that day we found the old ogre not far ahead."

"Shortly after the battle, the opponent was defeated by my brother and fled in this direction."

Lagret pointed forward with a solemn expression.

Ren looked up and could vaguely see signs of broken and fallen trees in the dense forest ahead.

It stands to reason that in this environment, which is similar to a primitive forest, the vegetation grows extremely fast, and ordinary traces of battles will soon be covered up by the fast and dense growth of plants.

From this point of view, the battle that took place more than half a month ago was very fierce.

"Whoosh!"

A night watchman in front suddenly shot an arrow deep into the dense forest.

"What's going on?" Mateo stepped forward and asked.

"Captain, something suddenly passed by over there. If I read correctly, it should be a jackal." The night watchman said with a solemn expression.

Since the elite members of the Night Watch usually practice archery diligently, their eyesight is generally very good. This is why Ren took the initiative to let the Night Watchmen act as alert scouts.

Soon, Matteo came to Ren and Dean Rudolf and reported: "Two adults, the night watchman just reported that traces of jackals were found around our team. Judging from some footprints, the number is Quite a few.”

Ren nodded and asked, "Have you found any trace of the old ogre?"

Was the spy just now coming from a jackal?

This is very possible.

But the jackals that once made him fearful were long gone.

Even if the ferocious jackal that Ren had suffered from was resurrected, the opponent would most likely not be able to withstand his full blow.

In addition, according to the current strength of the team, even if they are attacked by dozens of jackals mixed with several ferocious jackals, they can still deal with it calmly.

But the ogre is different.

In addition to the fact that the opponent's strong own strength can pose a considerable threat to the team, according to Lagree's previous narrative, these jackals are most likely the vassals of an old ogre.

There is a world of difference between a group of scattered jackals and a group of jackals under the unified command of an old ogre.

Renn understands this clearly.

"There is no trace of the old ogre yet." Mateo shook his head and said.

"Priest Rudolf, look." Renn turned around and asked.

The main force of the team this time is the Monsoon and Ocean Goddess Church, so Renn's posture is very upright.

It was up to Reverend Rudolf, the head of the church in the team, to decide whether to clear out these gnolls first or go directly to the area where the barbarian team discovered the evil ghost knights.

Hearing Ren's inquiry, Dean Rudolf smiled and said: "Let's go directly to the target area. The Jackal's activities are very wide, and it will waste a lot of time to wipe them out."

"If they are ungrateful and show up when we are dealing with the Evil Ghost Knight, I think Ren, you should let them know how powerful they are, right?"

"Of course. Please rest assured, Master Rudolph, on this point. As for the Jackals, the Night Watch and I will take on the responsibility of destroying each other." Ren bowed slightly and readily agreed to the task of guarding against and destroying the Jackals.

"Matteo, let me know. The rest is over and the team will move on."

"As you command, my lord!"

Soon, the repaired team continued on their way cautiously, always guarding against possible sneak attacks.

However, to everyone's surprise, the jackals seemed to be just snooping and showed no signs of attacking.

Ren thought for a moment, this is normal.

Because the perception of wild beasts is usually sharper, as a jackal who is comparable to wild beasts and also hangs out in the forest, he will definitely be able to sense that his team is very strong.

They bully the weak and fear the strong. Without the command of more powerful creatures, the possibility of attacking them is very low.

After another half hour of driving, the team finally arrived at the ruins Lagret mentioned last time.

I saw an obvious man-made ruins dozens of meters ahead, scattered with collapsed tall stone pillars covered with moss and vines. It seemed to be the ruins of a temple long ago.

Ren observed carefully for a while and found that this place was indeed strange.

If you think about it carefully, they walked all the way before, because it was a forest, so there were constant chirping of birds and insects.
