Path of light

Chapter 206 207. Chase

This was probably the darkest day in Christine's life. She was walking on the beach, but she was kidnapped by a group of human prisoners...

She was dragged into the woods, and Christine wanted to cry out for help, but was slapped twice by the bearded prisoner, and she was suddenly unable to scream.

She was dragged under a tree by the prisoner. Christine, who had completely fallen into despair, made a feeble last struggle.

The prisoner's pants were down to his knees, and suddenly he heard a dull sound. His head tilted, as if he had lost all his strength, and fell on Miss Christine...

Christine screamed, but found that the prisoner made no further movement.

Not only that, thick blood kept pouring out of the prisoner's mouth and nose.

Probably because Miss Christine screamed repeatedly, a burst of laughter came from the forest clearing where the bonfire was lit.

Sabrina looked back at Roy. She held the heavy sword in one hand and moved the prisoner who was knocked unconscious by the hammer of punishment away.

Miss Christine saw Sabrina standing in front of her wearing leather armor and quickly covered her mouth.

Roy walked over quickly. This time he did not give the elf boy a chance to speak. He had seen the ferocity of these slave traders in Malaga. He pulled out the dagger from his waist and wiped the prisoner's throat. The blood Splash out...

Mainsailman Jeff's neck was wiped by Roy. When he was about to die, Roy's face was not even seen.

Sabrina used a dagger to cut the ropes holding Christine's hands and feet.

Naturally, the three of them were not big enough to rush to the forest clearing and fight with the other prisoners.

Sabrina helped Christine tidy up her messy dress, pulled her and evacuated into the jungle...

Roy and the elf boy also worked together to drag Jeff's body into the bushes where they had just hidden, and planted a few thorn seeds along the way. Then they wanted to take Christine to a safe place, and then Go to Partington Town for help again.

Miss Christine also knew that these people were no match for the prisoners, so she didn't make a fool of herself and asked the three of them to rescue Jijilu.

She followed the three of them as hard as she could and hid in a bush again.

Roy saw that Christine could run with everyone in the jungle, and obviously her body was not injured...

"Sabrina, you and Miss Christine return to the town as soon as possible and ask the town guards to come here for support. Just say that there is a group of prisoners who smuggled over from Parram Island. We are watching here. A group of prisoners, let’s see if there is a chance to rescue Jijilu too.” Roy said to Sabrina.

Sabrina saw that Christine's dress was torn and there were many scratches all over her body, but she did not argue with Roy:

"Okay, you two, be careful."

She also glanced at the elf boy.

The elf boy looked confident, patted his chest and said:

"Don't worry, I will take good care of him."

Sabrina pulled Christine, and then led her along the way she came, towards the outside of the jungle.

…

In the dense forest, the prisoners gathered around the campfire found that the elf girl just struggled and screamed for a while, and then lost her voice.

At first, everyone didn't think it was anything, but this period of silence was a bit long...

"What's going on? What's going on with Jeff? He's been gone for so long..."

Some prisoners are already starting to worry...

One of Jeff's men stood up on his own initiative and said:

"I gonna go see."

Another companion immediately stood up and said, "Let's go together."

As he spoke, the jungle in the distance became even quieter.

Benjamin also stood up with some worry at this time. He threw a dagger to the sailor and said:

"Take this..."

The sailor caught the dagger, cut off a branch next to him, and chopped the branches above it to become a wooden spear.

The two sailors moved towards the direction where Jeff disappeared.

In the forest clearing, Benjamin and Abbot, who were studying the sea chart together, looked at each other. Both of them realized that something was wrong. After all, this was an elf island. No matter where an elf appeared from, they would not know it. Very strange.

Everyone waited starvingly for a while in the forest glade, and the two sailors who went out to look for Jeff, the main sailor, also found no news...

Moreover, the companions who went to the seaside reef area to look for food have not returned for a long time. All this indicates that the surroundings are full of danger.

Maybe an elven army has secretly surrounded us.

Benjamin stood up suddenly and said to everyone:

"We have to move..."

The sailors also knew something was wrong, and without Jeff, they naturally followed Benjamin's orders.

But Benjamin sighed silently in his heart and said decisively: "Let's go separately and meet at the dock. Let's work together to grab the boat and then leave here."

"Abut and I will take this oil bottle and go behind. If anyone is caught by the elf guards, we can use him as a hostage to get you back."

Benjamin pointed to Jijilu who was tied under the tree and said to the sailors.

At this time, this group of sailors could not control so much. They immediately turned into the dense forest in twos and threes and broke out separately.

It didn't take long before Benjamin and Abbot were left in the forest clearing.

"They have almost lured the elf guards away. Let's escape over there..."

Benjamin pointed to the opposite path and said to Abt.

…

Roy and the elf boy hid in a tree, silently staring at the prisoners running under the tree. No one moved.

The two of them prepared to stare at the prisoner who controlled Jijiru. With the black crow as their eyes, the two knew that Jijiru was still there.

Just now, the elf boy successfully tied up two prisoners with thorn seeds. Roy wanted to kill both prisoners, but was stopped by the elf boy.

"Roy, this goes against nature and we need to respect all life."

The elf boy took Roy's arm and said to Roy.

"But once they get out of trouble later, they will threaten our safety."

Roy looked at the prisoner tied in the thorn vines and said to the elf boy.

"My thorn seeds are not easy to break free from, don't worry!" The elf boy made a promise to Roy: "Let's go, follow me..."

With the help of flower vines, the elf boy hung the two prisoners on the tree.

Later, the elf boy also pulled Roy into the tree, and the two squatted on the horizontal branch of a big tree.

The elf boy continued to share vision with the two black crows.

When sharing vision, the elf boy's eyes were dark, and his perception of the surroundings was reduced to a minimum. Only when he was hiding in a secret place and had someone protecting him could he use such secret skills.

The druid boy told the situation there intermittently:

"... They seem to have realized that something is wrong... They actually extinguished all the bonfires... They are preparing to split up and run away. What should we do?"

The elf boy opened his eyes suddenly and asked Roy anxiously.

"Ignore the others, we are only focusing on the few people who took Jijilu away!" Roy said quickly.

"good."

The two of them discussed it and waited in the tree until the elf boy pulled Roy and whispered to him:

"Your companions were taken deep into the jungle by the prisoners. They seemed to be going up the mountain..."

After saying that, he jumped down from the tree. Roy didn't have such good skills, so he could only slide down from the tree carefully.

He wore thick leather armor and was not worried about being scratched by the rough bark.

The elf boy led the way, and Roy could barely keep up from behind. Two black crows were also flying rapidly in the forest.

At night, the dense forest on Partington Island is not easy to walk through. There are trees covered with thorns everywhere...

…

The first prisoners who rushed out did not meet the elf guards. Following Benjamin's order, they ran out of the dense forest and rushed directly to the island dock.

However, there is still a large amount of cargo shipped from the Partington plane piled on the island pier, and almost one-third of the town's guards are guarding the port pier.

The sudden appearance of the prisoners also startled the elf guards. At first, they thought that some thugs were planning to rob the supplies on the dock, but then they discovered that most of the humans were unarmed and not wearing armor.

The elf guards immediately chose to stand together with their shields held up, placing their swords on top of the shields.

As long as this group of thugs dare to rush over, give them the heaviest blow.

The prisoners did not dare to attack the elf guards, especially when there were so many guards on the dock...

Without even forming a powerful impact, a group of prisoners quickly dispersed towards the beach.

This group of elven guards did not pursue pursuit, but only guarded the goods on the dock and sent out signal flares in the direction of the town.

…

Roy followed the elf boy for a long time in the dense forest, and he even blessed himself with a 'blessing of strength'.

Along the way, the elf boy was also panting from exhaustion...

The light in the dense forest was dim, and Roy couldn't see who was in front of him, but he could already hear the footsteps of the two people fleeing in a hurry.

Probably because the two people in front could no longer run, they chose to stop at a place with their backs against rocks.

The elf boy also stopped.

He signaled to Roy that the two men were in front, and whispered to Roy:

"There are only two people on the other side. One of them should be a magician. I saw that he just cast magic..."

After saying that, he was about to walk out directly, but Roy held him back.

"Don't go out, it's more beneficial to us in the dark!" Roy said.

…

Benjamin and Abbot tried their best to escape along the way. Unfortunately, they had to drag Gigiru with his hands trapped, so they didn't run far before they knew that an elf was catching up behind them.

They had no choice but to stop under a cliff. Abut put a dagger across Jijilu's neck and shouted loudly into the dark forest behind him:

"I don't care which of you is following us, if you follow us again, I will send him to the fountain of life immediately!"

…

A familiar voice reached Roy's ears, and Roy's heart skipped a beat.

"Abut, is that you?"

Roy stood in the bushes and asked.

With that said, he walked out of the dense forest alone.

When the distance between the two parties got closer, Roy finally saw clearly that the elf on the opposite side who was forcing Jijiru with a dagger was none other than Abt.

"Roy, why are you here?...Have you been looking for me?"

Abbot asked in a dry voice.

His hand even trembled a little, and the trembling dagger was pressed against Jijilu's neck, and blood suddenly flowed out.

"I just happened to pass by here, I didn't expect that we would meet again!"

Roy put the round shield on his arm against his chest, holding the sacred scepter in his hand, and approached Abbot step by step:

"Abut, just wait and see. I won't let you go this time no matter what..."

Roy walked slowly because he was still paying attention to the magician who hid his face in his hood.

The last time I was attacked, I was injured by a fireball...

Jijiru's eyes widened. His mouth was tied by a rope and he couldn't make a sound at all. Seeing that Roy didn't care about his safety, he protested with a 'wuwuwu'.
