Lord stretched and asked casually, "I didn't do anything last night, did I? Actually, my sleeping posture has never been very good."

Celie turned around and stared at Lord, staring at him until his scalp tingled.

"It's really not good. You've been holding me, which makes me very uncomfortable."

Celie didn't quite understand the thoughts of a human like Lord. This was a common problem among elves and had nothing to do with whether they were human or not. Elves themselves were creatures with indifferent emotions.

Moreover, when she woke up in the morning, she was still feeling very uncomfortable. She didn't understand why. Could this be a normal human phenomenon?

Now, facing Lord's initiative, she also started to complain without mercy.

Facing Celia's words, Lord was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, next time you encounter this kind of situation, you can just push me away."

Well, next time.

Lord had a little selfish thought. He was not satisfied with just hugging such a comfortable pillow once. Maybe there would be another time.

Celie tilted her head and looked at him. "Why apologize?" Her golden eyes were filled with confusion. "You were just hugging me like a sloth bear. I just felt a little uncomfortable. There's no need to apologize."

"Sloth bear?" Lord paused.

It seems that our Miss Celia's attention is in a strange direction.

But is the sloth bear the other person was talking about the same as the one he remembered?

"It's an animal from the Elf Forest," Celie explained. "It likes to hug something when it sleeps." She paused. "But you're much warmer than them."

Lord was at a loss for words. It seemed that the elves' understanding of intimate contact was completely different from his own. They were indeed worthy of being the ancient elves in Fulilian.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt inexplicably lost.

"Would you like a cup of tea?" He changed the subject. "It's not urgent right now, is it?"

Lord got a lot of plants that could be used to make tea from the dwarves.

Dwarves rarely drink tea, but they can still identify which plants in this world can be eaten or used to make tea, since their existence history can be traced back to before the mythological era.

"Hmm," Celie retracted the warning spell, then cast a detection spell. "Strange, how come the number of monsters around here has increased overnight?"

Celie frowned beautifully.

Before they set up camp last night, they deliberately cleared out the monsters within a hundred meters around them, and did it silently. Now, after a night, the monsters around them have returned to the level before the cleanup, and there are even more of them.

This is somewhat unreasonable.

Either there is a lot of magic in this swamp, and once a vacancy occurs, a monster will fill it, or the two of them are being targeted by some existence.

"Try expanding the detection range to 500 meters?" Lord came closer and noticed the red dots on her magic circle.

Celia mobilized her magic power to expand the detection range to 500 meters, her brows furrowed even more.

"There are more monsters. Now the number of monsters around us has almost exceeded three digits."

Lord knew the seriousness of the matter. Whether it was a coincidence or not, it meant that the two of them could no longer stay here.

Celie unfolded the map. "Follow the stream. We should be able to get away from the center of this area by noon."

"I'll take care of it right away."

Lord immediately began to pack his luggage, while Celie kept watching the movement routes of the monsters on the magic circle.

The only thing that reassured her was that these monsters showed no signs of moving, but this instead revealed an indescribable sense of weirdness.

Lord quickly packed up his luggage, and the two of them walked quickly along the stream. During the walk, Lord looked back from time to time, always feeling that something was peeping at him in the dark.

"Don't look back, act like nothing happened," Celia warned in a low voice. "They're watching us."

As an elf, her perception is sharper than Lord's.

Just as the two of them set off, the monsters around them also began to move, and their bad premonition began to be confirmed.

No matter how they moved, these monsters tightly surrounded them.

There must be someone directing them!

"They?" Lord swallowed. "You mean?"

He also immediately realized that since Celie showed such a serious expression, the crisis they faced this time must be no small one.

"Demons." Celia's eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent. "There are at least two of them. They are commanding hundreds of monsters to surround us tightly."

Cold sweat broke out on Lord's palms.

finally coming?

This was the first time Lord was about to encounter the demons from the mythological era.

"Why didn't they attack?" Lord asked in a low voice, concentrating on observing the surrounding bushes.

"They're waiting for us to show a flaw." Celia kept an eye on the distance between the surrounding monsters. "Demons are very cunning creatures. They have no emotions and exist only to kill the enemy."

Celia thought that the leading demon must be quite intelligent. After noticing her identity as an elf, she began to act cautiously.

But when did the other party discover me?

My warning magic has a range of hundreds of meters, but it didn't send out any warnings last night. Could it be that I was distracted this morning?

"Go straight ahead. There aren't many monsters ahead. If a fight breaks out, remember to run to the front. I'll cover your rear."

Celia gave a few more instructions and prepared the light arrow magic, ready to be released at any time.

At this moment, the bushes in front suddenly shook violently.

"Be careful!" Celie instantly deployed a magic barrier to protect Lord behind her.

In order to save magic power, she turned off the detection skill just now, retaining only the most basic monster perception, but she didn't expect that a monster would approach so closely without making any sound.

Could it be a monster with the ability to block out auras?

At this moment, a familiar figure stumbled out: "Wait! It's me!"

It was the dwarf Thorm.

The opponent fell to his knees, covered in blood, and the runes on his battle axe became dim. "Run! There are so many monsters!"

I apologize to everyone in advance, tomorrow may be the last day

Chapter 18 Chase

Lord could not hide the surprise on his face when the dwarf Som, whom he had not seen for nearly a week, suddenly appeared in front of him.

But he still hurried forward and supported the bloody Som: "Why are you here?"

Thorn gasped for breath. "I, I encountered the demons," he pointed to the depths of the swamp. "They are surrounded by countless monsters and are surrounding you two."

Ever since he was easily defeated by Celia last time, Som has always wanted to go on an adventure with the two of them. During this period of time, he has been following their footsteps from a distance.

He originally wanted to wait until he became stronger, find a perfect opportunity to appear in front of the two of them, and then formally request to go on an adventure with them.

But the plans couldn't keep up with the changes.

After seeing Lord and Celie enter the Death Swamp, he followed them in without thinking.

But he didn't have any detection magic, so he couldn't avoid the monsters and just plunged into the pile of monsters.

Fortunately, the demons in this area focused all their attention on Lord, or Celie, so Som was lucky enough to escape.

Then he bumped into Lord and the other two.

Time was running out, and Som didn't have time to explain the matter in detail to the two of them, so he could only summarize it briefly in a few words.

But just this little delay allowed the surrounding monsters to take action instantly.

Celia's golden eyes instantly became very solemn: "They are coming."

"Can you still fight?"

Lord looked at Som. Although he was panting and covered in blood, which looked very scary, a closer look would reveal that most of the blood on his body came from monsters, and very little from himself.

"It's okay." Som let out a long sigh, letting his breathing gradually stabilize.

"Celiai, do you know healing magic?"

Celie shook her head: "Impossible, only by deciphering the holy book can magic be cured."

Lord slapped his forehead, he really had forgotten about this.

It looks like I have to include the interpretation of the scriptures into my plan.

"The only way is to fight our way out." Celie said in a deep voice.

The monster was already less than twenty meters away. The surrounding bushes began to shake violently, and dozens of pairs of scarlet eyes lit up in the darkness.

"Hurry up!" The situation was urgent. Celie didn't have time to think and grabbed Lord, "Follow us!"

The second half is naturally addressed to the dwarf Thorm.

Celia raised her hand and cast a large-scale light magic. This time it was not the light arrow she usually used, but something like a light column.

A beam of light appeared out of nowhere above the group of monsters in front of them, and then suddenly fell down, emitting a dazzling white light and a deafening explosion.

"So strong!"

When the light faded, a vacuum zone of dozens of meters appeared in front of them. Everything in it, whether plants or monsters, turned into ashes.

Before Lord could even sigh, Celie grabbed him and ran forward.

The situation was obviously extremely dangerous, as Celie was so nervous that she even used magic that she had never used before.

The smoke from the explosion had not yet cleared when Celie had already pulled Lord into the passage. He could even feel the burning sensation coming from the ground.

The dwarf Thorm followed closely behind, swinging his battle axe and using its additional skills to blast the monsters chasing from behind into pieces.

"You're in charge of the right side!" Lord shouted to Celie.

Three crocodile-like monsters rushed forward quickly and pounced on the two people, while several monsters on the other side were also approaching.

Without even looking back, Celie swung her hand and shot out three arrows of light.

The three monsters on the right had their heads pierced through in mid-air, and their bodies fell heavily to the ground.

Lord didn't have the precise control ability of Celia, so he just launched a large-scale rain of arrows, which barely eliminated the monsters attacking from the left.

"Follow me!"

Celia reminded him again. Although she was holding the other person's hand tightly, if Lord didn't keep up with her pace and fell behind, she would not be sure to rescue him.
