Chapter 17 Redbud Forest

On a gentle hillside ten miles away from the battlefield.

Arthur and his friends were lying in the grass on the hillside, and the artemisia that was above his knee would hide the figures of the people.

"It's not safe here. We are exposed. The elves will follow them through various means such as smells, traces, etc." Elanie whispered in a hurry.

"I know it's not safe here, but before that we have to figure out one problem, that is, how did the other party find us? Otherwise, even if the pursuers are temporarily thrown away, they will be found again." Arthur was still confused about the sudden arrival of these elves.

"Yes, we're very careful these days, probably not exposed?" Princess Ten also spoke from the side.

Everyone fell into silent thinking, thinking about whether there were any mistakes in their actions these days.

"Did you be suspected when you entered the village to inquire, and then report the news?" Qiong analyzed tentatively.

Ellanni shook her head, "It shouldn't be. It's very natural for me to contact those elves. Elfs rarely doubt their own people."

"Is it possible that we were secretly targeted but didn't notice it?"

"Ah, I understand, we were seen." Arthur's prompt made Ellanie exclaim, "I saw the Cangling Eagle flying over our heads twice in the afternoon. I didn't care at that time. We must have been targeted at that time."

"What is Cang Ling Eagle?" The Ten Princess was a little puzzled.

"Cangling Eagle is a companion who is good at spiritual magic who has been raised by the elf wizards around them since childhood, and they are also their eyes. Using spiritual magic connections, they can borrow the vision of Cangling Eagle."

As soon as Ellani explained, everyone understood that the Cangling Eagle was the mobile patrol whistle placed in the air by the elves.

Arthur immediately thought of another question, "How is the view of the Cangling Eagle at night?"

"The Cang Lingying won't come out at night, but the Elf Mage also has the Night Owl as their eyes."

Joan muttered in a low voice, "It's a problem now. If you want to get rid of them completely, you have to use some means. It seems that we will be in trouble starting from Kannas City."

"On the other hand, we are constantly troubled because they do have problems. The area is vast and sparsely populated. If the elves had not intentionally strengthened the inspections around here, they would definitely not have discovered us."

"That's the reason. But the most urgent task now is to wash away the smell on our bodies and change it to another place. Can it be washed away with water mist?"

"Don't use water mist first, wait for Gru to come first." Arthur immediately stopped Ellanni, who was about to launch the "big water mist".

Only then did everyone realize that the little guy Gru was not there, because the little fairy rarely showed up. When she was not with Ashu, she hid in Arthur's cloak and slept most of the time, and only came out when she was eating.

It was also the first thing that Joan reacted, "Did you leave him there?"

"We will kill all the elves who attacked them. Someone will collect their bodies. Follow this line and investigate them. It is always more efficient than the chaos in our villages."

Joan smiled and punched Arthur, "You guy is now in a match that of His Highness."

But Arthur could only smile helplessly, "If you make enemies with so many big forces, don't pay more attention, you will be cheated by them if you accidentally."

......

Gru came to find him almost midnight following the mark left by Arthur.

The ice fairy's eyes were full of excitement, and the pronunciation in her mouth was vague, "I found it."

"Gru can actually speak!" The Ten Princess, Ling Yu and the others immediately surrounded him.

Arthur never deliberately taught Gru's common language, but since he advanced, he has begun to try to learn to imitate. Now it is just the first time he has spoken in front of others.

Arthur did not get too entangled in this trivial matter, so he asked Ellani to use the "big water mist technique" to clean the scent of everyone and then set off overnight.

The water mist cannot completely clean up the breath they stay here, but as long as the time goes by, it will gradually dissipate and become unobservable.

Gru led Arthur and the others to run wildly. The crowd rushed for more than an hour before stopping. What appeared before everyone was a strange forest.

The reason why it is strange is that these trees in front of you are very rare in the Elf Kingdom. The gray trunks are covered with long red spikes, and the sparse leaves on the branches are also light red.

"I have heard of this place. It is Hongjing Forest, one of the more dangerous forests in the kingdom."

"How is it dangerous?" Qiong asked.

"Did you see the red thorns on the trunks? Although they are not fatal, they have a strong paralysis effect. They are accidentally stabbed for a long time and cannot move. Moreover, this is a prison cell for our elves. Some of the arrested aliens cannot be killed for the time being, so they throw them into the Red Jing Forest. Even without guarding them, they cannot escape."

After hearing what Elanie said, Arthur noticed that although the red spikes on the trunks are long and short, they are regular. They stop growing only when they grow until they are about to intersect with the thorns next to them. In this way, the red spike trees that grow almost side by side are connected to form a natural wall and cage, which cannot pass between the two trees at all.

"How to get in?" Arthur and Joan looked at each other.

The two of them had even sneaked in the Imperial Palace of Light, and their first thought was naturally to sneak in. But this place is different from the Imperial Palace. As a foreign race, they are completely unfamiliar with the environment inside. Once exposed, it is equivalent to falling into the trap and being unable to escape.

Ellanie pulled Joan's sleeve and said with some concern: "It's too dangerous inside, there are many powerful elves guarding, and the forest itself is a maze."

"Then don't go in, leave half outside, if there is an accident, you can help each other."

Joan's opinion was consistent with Arthur, "That's right, as stupid as Yihua, he is not suitable for infiltrating work. Torun and the three women should stay outside."

"No, let Huey and Lingyu come in with me, and you will take them to stay."

"Can't you trust your highness's infiltration skills?"

Arthur smiled, "You have a greater effect on staying outside. You light up the sparse forest in the distance, and make thick smoke as much as possible. The smoke will blew here according to the wind direction. The three of us just flew in with the cover of the thick smoke."

Only then did Qiong balance it, "When it comes to setting fire, there is naturally no more suitable person than His Highness."

......

When Arthur and the others were planning to sneak into the Red Brass Forest, the big elf warrior Qi Abby led an elf mage and a big elf shooter equivalent to the warrior level and had already found the hillside where Arthur and the others had previously hidden.

A small animal with purple patterns on her body looked like a marten and turned around on the grass for a few times before jumping back to the elf mage's arm.

Eating marten, which specializes in daily life, is the most sensitive animal in the elves' kingdom.
