Cards are born to be king

Faster, faster.

In the dark woods, Sous ran fast with Ellie on his back. His body glowed with a faint blue light, which was the effect of the dead leaves of the wind magic pattern.But even at this speed he was still not satisfied.Gritting his teeth, Sous took out a small piece of silver stone from his arms and crushed it cruelly.

As the powder fell, the blue light lingering around him suddenly became stronger, and the speed of the whole person almost doubled again.

Ellie was seriously injured, and if not treated in time, I am afraid that the root cause of the disease will remain.and……

"Brother, Jiang, Jiang..."

"Ah."

Touching Ellie's head soothingly, Sous put all his attention on identifying the route.We must hurry back to the Adventurer's Association in the town to mobilize people, otherwise Jiang Yong may...

Before he told Jiang Yong that lions and scorpions can't climb trees, which is true.But just relying on the impact force or jumping ability of a fifth-level monster can easily kill him.In that case, South must make a decision as soon as possible.It is clear at a glance whether the suspicious stranger who has only been together for a few days is more important than the sister who is dependent on each other.

And this was indeed the only possible way to save everyone in Sous's mind at the time. He would rather spend the precious Silver Star Stone than speed up and go back to the town to seek help, although he also knew that Jiang Yong's chance of surviving was very small...

After turning another narrow road, they finally rushed out of the forest, and the town of Carter was in front of them!Just seeing the brightly lit town, Sous was a little puzzled.It stands to reason that at this point in time, the people in the town should have already fallen asleep, so they wouldn't light so many ice lamps...

"Brother Celtic!"

Suddenly, Soth's eyes lit up.He yelled without caring about his manners, and ran quickly to a burly and powerful red-haired man, blocking his way.

The big man was wearing a dark red thorn beast armor, carrying an epee, with several scars on his face, and looked very fierce.Even in the dark, his eyes are extremely bright, which is a manifestation of a certain level of strength.There were six or seven people following behind him, each of them seemed to be walking in a loose manner, but they were actually extremely vigilant.

On their chests is the emblem of a roaring fire lion, which is the symbol of the mercenary group.

Hearing Soth's call, Celtic waved his hand to stop his team members from making a move, laughed loudly, and strode up to Soth.

"It turned out to be the young master, why did you come back from the forest so late?"

He wanted to pat Soth on the shoulder affectionately, but suddenly noticed the wound on his face and Ellie who was seriously injured and unconscious.Celtic's expression suddenly became serious.

Regardless of what to say, he took the girl off Sous's back and carefully inspected the scars on her body.

"You have met Sendil."

Celtic's tone was very serious, and his eyes sharpened instantly.Even the team members behind him restrained their sloppy attitude after hearing the name.

"Brother Celtic, can I hire you now? We met the lion and scorpion at the edge of the forest, and my companions are still waiting for me to go back!"

Sous said in a hurry, but saw that the leader of Celtic took out a bottle of dark green potion from his arms and asked him to take it first, and then looked at his team members with a serious expression.

"You mean, Sendil has now appeared on the outskirts of the Twilight Forest? Can you clearly recall its location?"

"No problem. Sendil is..."

Hearing the meaning of Captain Celtic, Sous's heart was half relieved.The potion he drank was warm, and he could feel that all the wounds were itching... This is the effect that only advanced healing potions can produce.He was somewhat familiar with the name Sendil, as if he had heard it somewhere.

"Hey lads, Sendil is no ordinary scorpion. You're lucky to have escaped him."

A light and healthy brown-haired man said with a half-smile, he took Ellie from the hands of Captain Celtic, and began to help her check the injury with skillful movements.

South's nerves tensed up, but seeing that Celtic didn't stop him, he forced himself to relax.

After a few seconds, he seemed to have figured out the situation.A warm white spot of light floated out from behind the brown-haired man's left ear, and turned into a palm-sized card above Ellie's head.

"Don't worry, although Winter is only a leaf-level star apprentice, he has a three-star treatment card. With him in Ellie, there will definitely be no problem."

Celtic said soothingly, and then his tone changed:

"Sendil is the king of lions and scorpions in the dusk forest. Since it appears outside the forest, it means that its partner has entered the spawning period. This guy is very cunning and has been hiding in the lions and scorpions lair in the barren swamp. , and often drives monsters to attack the village. If it can be beheaded this time, it would be great."

While explaining to South, Captain Celtic gave orders to his team members:

"Messo, you and Winter stay in the town and are always ready to respond, and the others immediately follow me into the dusk forest."

"Captain, it's enough to stay with Winter, you know I've always wanted a lion and scorpion egg."

A big man with unshaven beard and gray shaggy hair complained, but Celtic was very imposing in front of the members, so he stared at him on the spot and said impatiently:

"If you are told to stay, you will stay. Why are there so many troubles... Have you forgotten what day it is today? Everyone from the Temple of Stars is here. I, the head of the group, cannot receive them, and you, the deputy group, must stay!"

"Okay, let's go."

The leader of Celtic gave an order, and everyone dared not have another word.Under the leadership of Sous, they walked quickly into the forest.

"Pfft, what a bad luck."

Messo complained to Winter, and looked at the forest unwillingly, before walking towards the town.

"What a rare opportunity. If I can cultivate a lion and scorpion beast before the next mercenary challenge, my level will definitely be raised to B! You said that those people from the Temple of Stars would not come early or late, but you chose this one." At the critical point..."

"Ugh."

Unable to stand a burly man moaning and moaning beside him all the time, Winter glanced at him angrily, and changed his position to make Ellie more comfortable.

"Okay, don't complain. I think the leader may not be able to find the lion and scorpion egg this time."

"how to say?"

A gleam flashed in Winter's eyes, and he said thoughtfully:

"Under normal circumstances, even if Sendil wants to expand the territory, it is impossible to come to the outermost edge of the forest. The lioness and scorpion have a huge appetite during the hatching period, and only monsters above level three can provide enough nutrition."

"I think there must be another reason for it to go to such an outer place. Maybe..."

"Hey, tell me, could it be some lucky boy who stole the lion and scorpion egg, and then led Sendil out?"

Messo said on a whim, but only got Wen Te's eyes.He shrugged and smoothed things out with a playful smile:

"It's alright, alright, I know my thoughts are whimsical... My God, God of War Hobir, why are there so many people at the gate of this town?"
