Broad World

Seeing that the battle was about to break out, Jaheira stood up decisively. She yelled at the young man: "Wait! Sania! It's me, Jasila. You won't attack your own people, will you?"

The old man named Sania was surprised at first. "Jarsila? It's really you!" But then he sighed immediately. "Long time no see, young man. You volunteered to protect these filthy hunters today, which casts a shadow over our reunion."

Jaheira relaxed a little when he saw that the old man did not continue to attack. She stepped forward and performed a druid's typical courtesy. "Sania! Although I also hate these guys who regard hunting as a sport, I also don't think it is a crime that requires death as a punishment."

Sania looked at Jaheira and shook his head helplessly. "Hey, this may be the reason why we have been arguing. It seems that walking in Ming for a long time has not changed your point of view, and it is still the same. Well, I agree to let this hunter leave alive, but you have to agree to one condition."

Jasila glanced at Aides who was hiding in the corner, and finally nodded reluctantly. "Speak, we're all listening."

"The shadow druids in the north snatched a piece of forest that originally belonged to us. There is no doubt that what they did made us druids who truly believe in nature feel worried. Now I need some people who are not familiar with these guys to sneak in and rescue a female druid named Marisa. She has the infiltration plan of the shadow druids in her hands and must be rescued intact. And the speed must be fast, because the time for the shadow split is coming soon."

Apodell asked a little puzzled: "What's the matter with the Shadow Cleave you mentioned?"

"Shadow Cleave is a secret celebration of the Shadow Druid sect. Not only will new members join in the ceremony, but they will also publicly torture and execute their enemies. This Druid named Marisa is in a very bad situation. If we move slower, she is likely to die a miserable death." Henry answered Apodel's question, and pointed out Sania's purpose for hiring them by the way.

The old man looked at Henry with sharp eyes, and then asked, "Who are you? Why do I feel a strong natural breath in you?"

Henry looked at Sania with contemptuous eyes, his expression was full of sarcasm and disdain. As the founder of a new druid sect, he looked down on these timid ordinary druids very much. Neither of them dared to take revenge on Ming on behalf of nature like the shadow druids. They dare not turn to humans in an all-round way to serve agriculture and animal husbandry.

The old man was overwhelmed by Henry's powerful natural breath, and felt as if he was fighting against nature itself. After a while, Henry said to him in a cold tone: "Stop playing those ridiculous tricks, and explain the specific situation quickly. I don't have time to play with you here with these children's things."

Sania took a few steps back before taking a breath. He looked at Henry with awe, and at the same time his tone was much more respectful. "Forgive me for the offense just now. A few days ago, one of our companions risked his life and tried to sneak into the shadow druid's territory. To rescue his beloved woman. But since then, nothing has been heard. Jasila knows this person, and his name is Bido."

Henry turned his head and looked at Jaciira, hoping she would give an explanation. But the latter was vague, and even Khalid jumped out and stammered to stop Imon and Apodel from asking. Judging from the performance of their husband and wife, Henry quickly speculated that there might have been some bloody incidents such as a love triangle between these three people.

After everyone took over the task, Aides was driven out of the hut by Sania. Before he left, he gave Apodel a bottle of hero potion, and bowed to everyone at the same time. "Thank you for your help. Strangers. If you come to the Merchant Alliance after passing through Baldur's Gate, I will definitely treat you well." After finishing speaking, he didn't care whether he fled here at night.

Everyone stayed in the cabin for one night, and left here after dawn to continue heading northwest. When they passed a single-plank bridge, they encountered a hunter named Coran, who claimed to be entrusted by Belgost to hunt down a group of pterosaurs entrenched around the trade road. Based on the idea of ​​having one more person with more power, Apodell welcomed him to join.

A party of eight quickly crosses a river. Finally arrived at this forest full of spiders and it monsters before noon. Henry seriously warned everyone. You must know that he was here back then, but he was severely overshadowed by the monsters, and the huge pothole is still fresh in his memory.

Not far away, a young human man dressed as a farmer suddenly came out of the woods. He looked flustered, and immediately ran over to ask for help as soon as he saw the tall Apodel. "Hi, adventurer, I'm Tibe. May I have a moment of your time?"

"You'd better hurry up, we are still in a hurry." Apodel urged impatiently.

Jasila frowned, walked over and reprimanded, "Can't you be more polite? Look at this stranger, he's frightened by you."

Apodell looked at the timid Tai Bo. Then he patted his forehead hard. "Sorry, I've been in a bit of a mess recently, please don't mind if my tone was bad just now. Tell me now, what trouble did you encounter?"

Tai Bo first breathed a sigh of relief, and then bowed deeply. "Thank you! Thank you...My brother and I accepted the task of cleaning up the spiders in the forest. I know it's stupid. But my brother got a "spider-killing sword" from somewhere. It's a magic two-handed sword designed to kill spiders. We thought we would become famous in one fell swoop...and become the hero of the Cloak Forest, but my brother hasn't come back for more than a week. I beg you to find him. If Sirac dies, my mother will collapse."

Cary sighed slightly, then patted Tebe on the shoulder. "Son... boy, I think your brother... brother's chances of survival are very low. Spiders never... never take prisoners, but I... we'll still find... look for it."

Tai Bo's tears could no longer stop streaming down his face. He knelt on the ground and begged everyone to help him find it, otherwise he would have no way to go home and explain to his mother. Finally, seeing how pitiful he was, Apodel agreed to the request. The task of the last druid has not been completed, and now there is another task of finding the corpse.

Along the way, everyone killed a lot of it monsters and various spiders. They used silk to pull countless traps between the trees, and in order to prevent accidentally falling into them, they moved very slowly. Wearing full body armor and holding a long sword in front of him, Apodel opened the way, cursing as he split the tough goo: "Damn it! I hate these goo and eight-legged spiders the most."

Henry poked his ass with his cane and said with a smile: "Don't complain, hurry up. If I remember correctly, there should be a big pothole in front. Tibo's brother is probably there, because the camp of the shadow druids is there."

Apodel turned his head vigilantly and asked: "I suddenly have a very bad feeling, tell me what's in that hole?"

"A large group of spiders and it monsters. These guys hollowed out the entire ground when I came last time. It has been many years now, so I don't know exactly what happened." Henry replied vaguely. If the plot didn't go wrong, there should now be a sorceress who was made ugly by Joan Irenicus.

Aberdell wailed immediately when he heard the word "large group". After getting along for such a long time, he knew very well that the "large group" in Henry's mouth refers to the number of more than five hundred. Etter monsters and giant poisonous spiders are not kobolds, gnolls, and human bandits. It's not easy to deal with more than a dozen at a time, and "large groups" only appear in exaggerated stories of bards.

It took nearly two hours before Henry found the place where he fell into it last time. It has now been mixed with spiders, clay, branches and leaves to form a semicircular hill. Except for a huge hole left in front, everything else was sealed.

Everyone was stunned by the strange building in front of them. They had never heard of spiders and it monsters building houses before. As soon as Henry saw this situation, he immediately understood that the sorceress should be living in it now. She has now controlled all the monsters nearby, and there may be a fierce battle next.

As the guardian of nature, Jasila also noticed the anomaly here, and to be sure, she blessed everyone with divine spells before continuing to move forward. As soon as the two black and white sword spiders guarding the door spotted the stranger, they immediately rushed over with their teeth and claws. Apodell swung the flail and smashed it fiercely, blowing one of its stomachs off at once, and white translucent liquid flowed all over the floor. The spider didn't die right away, it crawled forward desperately trying to bite the enemy before it died.

Henry yelled: "Get down!" Then a fireball roared past and exploded directly in front of him. The air wave lifted Aberdare more than one meter high, and then fell heavily to the ground. The seriously injured sword spider died in an instant. In addition, it was also black all over its body, and even walked with a limp. Minsk rushed over from the front, and inserted the two-handed giant sword into its mouthparts. A colorless and transparent liquid gushes out, these are the blood of spiders.

Apodell stood up unsteadily, his eyes still a little dull, it seemed that he had been thrown hard just now. Henry went over to check him briefly, and found that apart from a slight concussion, there was not even a single bruise. After the guy was completely awake, everyone walked carefully into the weird entrance.
