Chapter 111 112. Check-in Point No. 2

"I am Roy, a freshman at the Elf Academy. My companions and I were completing the geography class. When we were going to stamp the map this morning, we found that the check-in point No. 2 seemed to be occupied by a group of human adventurers. They seemed to be still there. Many classmates were arrested, and my companions and I didn’t dare to get close, so we had to ask you to come over and provide support.”

"There were two members of the adventure group searching here just now. They ran away when they saw you flying over!"

Roy stood on a tree branch and pointed in the direction of check-in point No. 2.

In a dense sea of ​​trees, check-in point No. 2 happens to be under the cliff in the mountain col, and the location is easy to identify.

"Evelin, go explore the cliff and be careful." The Silver Pegasus elf warrior ordered his companions.

"Yes! Captain."

The voice was pleasant to the ear, and the Silver Pegasus warrior turned out to be an elf lady.

They wore heavy silver armor and helmets.

There is also a metal mask on the helmet that covers the upper half of the face, with only the mouth and chin exposed.

If Roy hadn't spoken, he wouldn't have noticed that it was an elf lady.

Roy turned to look at the female elf warrior and found a little pink on her slightly raised rhombus-shaped lips.

These two silver flying horses with wings are both very handsome.

The huge wings are seven or eight meters long when spread out, and the four hooves and calves are curled up. Every time it flaps its wings, it makes a "whooshing" sound.

The Silver Pegasus flapped its wings suddenly twice, and immediately carried the female elf warrior around half a circle in the air. After adjusting its position, it flew towards the cliff where the No. 2 check-in point was.

"That...Roy, where is your companion?"

The remaining Silver Pegasus elf warrior continued to ask Roy, and this time his tone became much gentler.

Roy pointed to a jungle southeast of check-in point No. 2 and said:

"He is at the bottom of the mountain intercepting the students who are reporting to the second check-in point."

The elf warrior stretched out his hand to comfort the silver pegasus hovering in the air, and continued to ask:

"You said that two members of the human adventure group just came here to track you down?"

Roy pointed to the crown of the big tree nearby, nodded and responded: "Well, they just saw you coming and ran away..."

The elf warrior untied the belt buckle on the saddle cover, held the saddle with both hands, and jumped nimbly from the back of the silver flying horse to the canopy of the tree. He was wearing thick silver boots, and he could still step on them steadily. On the horizontal branches, he jumped several times and then followed the horizontal branches of several big trees and landed steadily in the forest clearing.

Roy followed him and slipped down from the tree.

I saw an elf warrior squatting in the forest, observing a set of clear footprints.

He also glanced at Roy's short boots and asked casually: "Where did they escape?"

"This way..." Roy said, pointing to the west.

The elf warrior stood up and did not rush to pursue the two members of the adventure group. Instead, he closed his eyes and pressed one hand on the trunk of the big tree.

After a moment, the elf warrior opened his eyes and turned his head to glare at Roy inexplicably.

He followed Roy's direction and quickly pursued him.

Although Roy was stared at inexplicably, he could only bite the bullet and follow the elf warrior. He did not dare to stay alone in this woodland now. Who knew whether the two adventure group members would turn around and come back... …

The two members of the adventure group slipped away very quickly, and the elf warriors chased them all the way, only chasing the footprints they left behind.

It was difficult to walk in the dense forest, but the elf warrior was not affected in any way. He was wearing silver armor and could not climb the thorns on the trees and vines.

And every time the footprints are suddenly interrupted, the elf warriors can quickly find new clues.

He ran through the jungle, giving Roy the feeling of being on the hill behind his home.

"They are two rangers who are proficient in jungle tracking and are also good at concealing their whereabouts..."

When they chased them to the jungle hillside, the elf warrior saw the messy footprints on the ground suddenly disappearing and said to Roy who was following from behind.

Roy held his knees with both hands, feeling like his intestines were about to break.

The elf warrior took a few steps forward and stood in front of a big tree, pressing his palms on the trunk again...

When he opened his eyes, he stared straight ahead again and walked quickly forward. Sure enough, after walking more than 20 meters, he found the footprints left by the two members of the adventure group again.

Roy discovered that this elf warrior had the ability to communicate with trees.

Just as Roy followed the elf warriors to track down the members of the adventure group, a red firework lit up again over the check-in point No. 2, followed by another firework, and three magic flares were fired in a row before it stopped. .

The elf warrior decisively gave up tracking the two members of the adventure group and ran towards the second check-in point.

Because there are dense forests everywhere, the elf warriors cannot join up with the silver pegasus in the air and can only rely on their legs to run.

Roy trudged behind...

…

When Roy followed the elf warrior to the second check-in point, he found that the place was in a mess.

There were some collapsed tents everywhere, with messy footprints trampling on them.

There were still some blood stains in front of the bonfire.

There were some scattered salutes and torn elf clothes on the ground.

There are still a few breadfruits in a wooden box under the tree, with some peels scattered outside.

No bodies were seen, which meant that the adventure group took away all the elf students.

Roy saw the female elf warrior standing in front of the only tent that did not collapse.

The elf warrior and Roy walked over and saw the curtain on the top of the tent.

Looking into the tent along the door, I saw a Silver Moon Elf instructor lying on his back in a pool of blood. The blood in his body seemed to have completely drained out, and his pale face looked at the tent door blankly.

Although he was lying on his back, his body was still in an extremely twisted posture.

The wound on the neck was very clean. It only took one knife to cut the throat and aorta. The elf instructor didn't even make any struggle.

His body was forced to the ground, and all the blood flowed out until he was completely dead.

He was only wearing a pair of loose pajamas, and the leather armor and weapons originally hanging on the rack had disappeared.

The elf warrior's face turned ugly, and he turned to look at Roy who was out of breath after running, but surprisingly he persisted all the way.

The elf warrior asked Roy: "...Roy, when did you discover the abnormality at check-in point No. 2?"

Roy pressed his chest and tried to calm his breathing, then wiped the sweat from his face and said:

"Just in the morning, there was still some morning fog in the jungle. We originally planned to leave immediately after stamping the parchment map, but when we walked there..."

Speaking of which, Roy pointed to the big tree over there.

It was where he and Claire were hiding. They also eavesdropped on the speeches of the three members of the adventure group in the tree, but unfortunately they didn't understand anything.

Roy continued:

"...I found that the academy instructors who were supposed to be waiting in front of the campfire turned into those guys."

The elf warrior stared at Roy and asked, "You just looked at them from a distance and concluded that there is danger here?"

Obviously, the elf warrior didn't trust Roy very much.

Roy nodded and said: "I recognized the man waiting in front of the bonfire. He was the murderer of Jefferson in the Brown Street Tavern in Castletown, so my companions and I left immediately under the cover of the morning fog. .”

"...Then the two of us split up. Roy chose to go to the mountain to set off magic flares and wait for rescue. I went to the front to stop the students who wanted to go to the second check-in point to get stamped." Claire's voice suddenly came from next to him, and he and A group of Silver Moon elves came along the forest road.

Seeing the messy scene at check-in point two, the group of young Silver Moon elves, including Claire, looked around with horror on their faces.

Claire's appearance immediately dispelled the last trace of doubt in the elf warrior's heart.

A group of Silver Moon elves covered their faces with their hands when they saw the elf instructor dead in the tent.

"How could it be like this..."

Some elf girls with fragile hearts broke down and cried.

The other elf students also knew that they had escaped this disaster by luck, and they all walked up to Roy and gave him a slap on the shoulder to express their gratitude.

The silver moon elf pressed his hand on the big tree again. After a long time, he opened his eyes tiredly and said to the elf students:

"You stay here as the follow-up rescue team. We are going to pursue this adventure group now."

"A large number of rescue teams will arrive in a moment. Tell them everything that happened here. Once we find any clues, we will use magic flares to guide the direction..."

The Silver Moon elves nodded in agreement.

Then, the elf warrior blew a loud whistle, and two silver Pegasus immediately ran out from the dense forest, with two wings hanging loosely on both sides of the body.

They are all white Pegasus. In addition to having a pair of huge wings on their bodies, they also have flight feathers on their four hooves.

These war horses wear black iron masks on their heads, and some vital parts of their bodies also have armor pieces made of black iron.

The two elf warriors mounted the silver Pegasus. Without any instructions, the two silver Pegasus flapped their wings and took off into the sky, chasing straight to the west...

…

A group of elf students were waiting at the messy check-in point No. 2.

Several mixed-blood elves in the crowd walked up to Claire at this time. The expressions on their faces were a little embarrassed, but they still said to Claire: "Claire, thank you very much this time."

Claire waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "Why are you talking about this! We are all classmates..."

The atmosphere relaxed a little, and another elf asked in a low voice:

"What should the instructor do? We can't let him lie like this forever."

"Waiting, there is a rescue team coming from behind. What we have to do now is to maintain the scene."

The elves hid in the shade of the trees to rest.

Roy and Claire came together, looked at each other, and said nothing in tacit agreement.

The elves waited under the tree for nearly an hour. Finally, a group of elf warriors riding silver Pegasus appeared in the sky. The students immediately ran out from under the tree and shouted to the sky.

There were a large number of students, and they stood in the most eye-catching place on the edge of the cliff. They waved to them. The elf warriors of the Silver Pegasus Squadron soon discovered this place...
