An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 88 Attacked
Taking advantage of his happiness, Varro proposed a celebration, and Karak immediately raised his hands in agreement:
"Yeah! That's a good idea!"

"Not yet, Karak. Don't forget that we still have to go to the green forest. What if we encounter danger on the way after drinking?"

"So let's leave the celebration until the evening."

Ma Long sat up and shook his head to deny the proposal. After all, drinking can easily cause trouble.
Furthermore, once you reach the verdant woodlands, you can celebrate however you want.

The return of the archdruid will definitely be able to effectively reconcile the conflicts between the tiefling refugees and the druids. Kahal colluded with the shadows to collude.

It will also be taken care of properly.

When they returned to the woodland again, they would definitely see a different scene.

"……OK then."

Hearing this, Karak immediately became frustrated and agreed, and then Malone turned to look at the only outsider:
"Thanks for the help, Varro."

Throwing a few ropes is not difficult, and it does not prove that Varro is very reliable, but the other party actually helped. This is certain, and thanks are due.

"Ah~ You're welcome. We are all friends. Also, I guess you encountered a lot of interesting things under the pothole. Maybe..."

"Okay, Gale, please."

The bard was interested in adventure stories. It was a trivial matter. Ma Long agreed without thinking, so it was a bit of a waste of words~
As it was approaching meal time, everyone felt empty in their stomachs.
He sat down on the floor and started eating. He ate casually, with water and dry food. Since he had just experienced an exciting life-and-death escape,

If I'm not in the mood, I don't have the energy to cook either, so I can just eat some bread.

After filling their stomachs and taking a short rest, the group embarked on their journey again, heading east along the road outside the Moon Shelter.

The verdant woodlands were not that far away, at least that's what Varro claimed.
After all, they hadn’t walked by, so no one said anything.

On the way, Gale struggled to carry his heavy luggage and came to Malone and walked side by side:

"Do you think the Archdruid can cure us?"

Hearing the worry in the other party's heart, Ma Long shook his head and smiled:
"...Things are unpredictable, and I'm not sure. Even if Harsin can't help, I'll just have to find other ways."

"The most important thing is the firm belief of never giving up. I will not lose to a mere worm."

Gale pursed his lips and smiled reluctantly:
"Your mentality... is really optimistic."

Insects are just one of the problems she worries about. What's more, after they are cured, what will everyone do next?

Although they knew each other briefly, she liked the feeling of everyone getting together and relying on each other.

Even if there are disputes from time to time and some teammates are unhappy, it is still a different kind of experience. Mages, especially the powerful ones,
Deep down, he is arrogant, seldom hangs out with others, and has basically no friends...

If it weren't for the destruction of magic balls and bugs, Gale would indeed have no chance to be with everyone.

Seeing the complicated look in the other person's eyes, Ma Long understood that the mage was lonely in his heart. After all, the magic network had connected their hearts together.
Immediately take a deep breath and speak as softly as possible:
"Sooner or later, everyone will have to stop traveling. Although this result is irreversible, I will ensure that by then everyone can have a relaxed smile, hug their friends and say goodbye, and no longer have any burden on them."

There is no such thing as a banquet in the world, and everyone will have to face farewell one day.

Regarding this inevitable outcome, all Ma Long can do is to stop everyone from worrying about the future and make this show end perfectly.
Travel is a test, but also a transformation from cocoon to butterfly.

Hearing this, Gale couldn't help but tremble in her heart. Looking at Ma Long's smiling profile under the direct sunlight, her eyes were full of admiration, gratitude and...

Click! Phew~

The next moment, the sound of firing crossbows suddenly came from the woods on both sides of the road.
Ma Long saw an afterimage approaching quickly, and he jumped! Then Gale's body next to him suffered the impact, and he fell down in front of him. In an instant, it was as if time and space had frozen, and the blood splashing in the air was clearly visible...

His pupils shrank to the size of pinholes, he forgot to breathe and even the beating of his heart slowed down by half a beat.

"Gail!?" x4
Seeing this scene, Shadow Heart, Weir, Karak and Astelon all shouted loudly at the same time.

咻咻咻～
But then, several afterimages flew out of the forest instantly! Hit Shadow Heart and Karak respectively!

The two of them fell heavily one after another, and there were several crossbow arrows stuck in their chests!

"What the hell!"

"Shadowheart! Karak!"

Seeing this situation, Astelon and Weir had different reactions, but in the end they all focused on the direction in which the crossbow arrows were flying.

The bard Varro was overwhelmed by the sudden attack.
He stood there stunned, not knowing what to do.

And Scratching lay low, raised his tail, and barked wildly into the forest.

Immediately, five figures wearing silver armor and holding long swords emerged from the tall bushes. Hearing the sound, Ma Long turned his head and looked over.
The attackers were a group of Githyanki.

And one of them looked very familiar to him. He had temporarily formed a team to escape from hell together, and he even saved the other person's life after they came to the main material plane.

But now... the person's face was expressionless, holding a sharp sword and looking at him coldly.

"Captain Ten, these people are one of the passengers, and the relic must be on them. (Gith)"

"Very well, Raizel. Your loyalty to the queen is unquestionable. Now, let us kill these bugs together and find the relic. (Gith)"

Malone understands the Githyanki conversation clearly,
They came just for the Polyhedron of Shadow Heart!

"……It's you!?"

At this time, Astelon also recognized the Githyanki he had saved before, and his expression was extremely ugly. After all, this was a proper act of repaying kindness with hatred!
Even if you don't understand the conversation, the aggressive behavior proves that the attacker has bad intentions.

"Damn white-eyed wolf! We saved your life! Have you forgotten!?"

"Hand over the relics, and I may give you a reward as repayment. Otherwise, I will take out your internal organs alive."

Hearing these words, the Githyanki took a step forward, his words cold as hell, and his eyes filled with murderous intent.

At this point, any words were useless, because Ma Long was already angry, and the only way to eliminate it was to kill the attacker!
pat~

Throwing away the bag on his back, Malone held his sword in one hand and stared fiercely at the group of Githyanki, trying his best to suppress the rage that was waiting to be unleashed, like a volcano.

He said to Asteron and Weir in a gentle tone:
"Leave them to me. You go and take a look at Ying Xin's situation."

"Be careful, the Githyanki are not easy to deal with. They are quite famous in all planes, and they are all powerful."

In this regard, Weier gave a solemn instruction, and then quickly came to his companion to check the situation.
Astelon simply said:

"Kill them without mercy."

"Of course, I won't let the guy who hurt my companions still live well in this world!"
