From now on, the vampire girl escapes from the world

Several people gathered in front of the black cloth carriage that was smashed to pieces by the giant bear's claws and shook their heads.

"It's so hard to get this..." I seemed to hear someone lamenting like this.

There is no doubt that this shipment has incurred a huge loss. All we can do is to minimize the loss.

It was over anyway. Ai'er had no intention of caring about what valuable merchandise they had lost.

Next, let’s find a tent and sleep alone with Lily.

"Lily? Lily?"

Elle yelled.

No answer was given.

"Lily?..."

Ai'er had a bad feeling in her heart.

She ran past each carriage and looked under the carriages and trees.

Lily was nowhere to be found.

Lily isn't here.

"Could it be..."

Ai'er thought of the giant silver bear and the carriages it had damaged.

Ai'er's face turned pale.

I don’t know what Lily’s current strength is... Could it be that she was taken away by that thing?

The more Ai'er thought about it, the more panicked and confused she became. She even forgot that she had called Lily a monster before.

Al turned and rushed into the forest.

"Ms. Elle?..."

She vaguely heard someone calling her, but Ai'er didn't care anymore.

The forest is Ai'er's hometown.

Ai'er is the master of the forest.

It's the same in forests everywhere.

So we must find Lily back.

23. Capture

"Ms. Elle?!"

The guards shouted this to the little girl who had inexplicably entered the forest.

He wanted to pull the girl back in a hurry, but was stopped by the captain who was sitting next to the carriage.

"Don't go. If she wants to go, let her go by herself."

"But if that's the case, Miss Elle..."

That's the night forest.

Those terrifying monsters are still inside.

"Don't worry about whether she's dead or alive. Tomorrow morning, whether she comes back or not, we'll set out as usual. Our lives are much more important than a scattered adventurer."

"But……"

"It seems that she is trying to save her slave. That is not your concern."

The captain stretched his leg, which was somewhat numb after being bandaged, and faint traces of blood seeped out:

"If that slave was really her treasured property, she shouldn't have brought him to such a dangerous mission site. If she did so, she will naturally have to bear the consequences. I have already warned her."

The guard could only shut up.

The captain stood up with his sword in hand.

"After all, what I despise the most are greedy people like this." He said to himself.

The captain suddenly remembered that when he was an adventurer, he went to rescue a village that was invaded by monsters.

One of the companions could not bear the constant pestering of the person he rescued, and rushed back into the village for a letter left in the house by the other party.

And then he lost his life.

……

Something was speeding through the jungle.

That's a bear.

A huge, yet extremely agile, silver-white bear.

The surrounding bushes and grass made a rustling sound, but it was unexpectedly quiet - just like the wind blowing. The trees were sparse and dense, but the giant bear could always pass through. It seemed that the giant bear chose the path cleverly, and there was no embarrassing situation such as getting stuck.

This is the king of the jungle. He knows every part of his territory.

After attacking the caravan and leaving, its body had shrunk a lot, but its claws and fur were still tough.

The thing on its back seemed to be its small trophy. It was surprisingly stable as it ran up and down.

At this time, it was heading deep into the jungle with its spoils.

What followed was like a drop in the ocean.

"【Lock and Bind】."

However, as it was running, its two heavy hind paws were tightly bound by something.

Tengyue's body was pulled to the ground the next moment.

"Roar--!"

It fell to the ground, opened its mouth and roared, then turned around and tried to swing its claws.

The already huge body gradually swelled, the arms became thicker, and the nails slowly grew longer. He wanted to return to his original ferocious appearance.

However, the two raised front paws were once again chained to the ground.

Even its open mouth was held tight by unknown chains, revealing only two fangs.

The roar could only turn into a suppressed hum.

In the end, the giant bear was forced to crawl completely on the ground. Its body, which contained immense power, couldn't even struggle, but could only spit out air waves from its nostrils unwillingly.

"Swish." The sound of metal shackles dragging on the ground came from in front of him. The crawling giant bear stared upwards.

Appearing in front of the big bear was the figure of a little girl with short black hair.

How did it appear?

I clearly didn't feel any presence chasing me just now.

This monster had never seen such a situation before and had no way of understanding it.

Lily took small steps forward, and the shackles made a rattling sound again as they dragged on the ground.

"Humph……"

Silver Bear was pinned to the ground and crawled, and could only hum and spit out vicious air from his nostrils, hitting Lily's exposed calves.

Lily frowned for a moment, then looked distressed.

Although I have caught up with him, what should I do next?

Do you want to go back and call Al?

"bass."

Lily was thinking.

A small figure suddenly jumped out from the shadows nearby.

I'm afraid that when the giant bear fell, the figure had already hidden in the bushes nearby, waiting for the opportunity to attack.

"go to hell--!"

In the opponent's hand was a sharp blade shining with silver-white light.

A knife or something with sharp claws stabbed at Lily.

Lily frowned and dodged slightly.

"Varied……!"

The small figure missed his target, rolled on the ground, and quickly stood up again.

She quickly adjusted her body and was about to jump up again!

"【Bound】."

The moment the petite figure wanted to jump out, she found that the body kneeling on the ground was already unable to move.

A shadowy cross appeared out of nowhere and was inserted behind the kneeling opponent.

The thin red threads that came out from the shadow wrapped around her slender arms and calves, binding her figure tightly.

Even though the phantom of the red thread only entangled her arms and legs, her body was unable to move even if she wanted to struggle.

What bound her was not a cross or ropes, but a certain concept - but she probably couldn't understand this.

Unable to launch an attack, she could only struggle in vain, letting out angry whimpers.

Lily walked closer slowly and found that it was a little girl.

A little girl about the same age as Lily.

The ragged clothes on the kneeling petite body had not been washed for who knows how long. In addition to the red silk thread wrapped around the cross behind her, the same metal shackles were locked on the other's slender wrists and ankles.

The metal chain of the shackles broke, and the cross section was quite neat. I'm afraid that the giant bear used its sharp claws to free the girl.

Lily noticed it early on.
