Luo Luo shuddered. This glance was like pouring half a kilogram of ice cubes into her neckline, causing her to instantly lose all sleepiness. A certain someone was lying there just a few hours ago, how could he suddenly disappear without a trace?
Could it be that when it was time for the last shift to be changed, this guy went to keep watch? But the blond boy who was in the same class as the attendant was still snoring away. The girl's heart sank. Did something happen to him again?
Luo leaped up from the ground and grabbed the Elven sword beside her. She walked quietly to the bonfire. At this time, the ones in charge of keeping watch were the cool Elven brother Beck and the half-dwarf follower of the priest.
The former was maintaining his longbow, and when he saw The Brave, he nodded at her as a greeting.
"Did you see Rob?" Lolo went straight to the point.
"Yeah." The half-dwarf attendant grinned. "Didn't he doodle like an idiot after dinner last night? We all saw him. Tsk tsk, to be honest, I really don't know what's so good about him. He can't even put his arms up, his body is as weak as a little girl, and he's an unromantic brat. If I were a woman, I would definitely like a mature, steady, and handsome man like Young Master who can bring a sense of security to the opposite sex. There's no comparison between the two. Oh right, let me tell you a secret. Our Young Master is actually from a noble family. Hmm, although his family has declined, at least his bloodline is still there. As long as you marry our Young Master, you'll have half a foot into the upper class … "
The half-dwarf was indeed a model servant, helping his master whenever he had the chance.
The swordswoman rolled her eyes. "Stop, I know you have a crush on your Young Master. I'll help you tell him when I'm free. Now, let's get back to the topic at hand. Did you see my attendant when you were standing guard? "
The Elven archer put down his longbow. "He went out not long ago."
"Go out? To where? How long is not long ago? "
"He said he was almost done sleeping, and wanted to walk around. He went out for about a quarter of an hour." The elf pondered for a moment.
"Ah, you didn't stop him?"
"Look at what you're saying. We're only keeping watch at night to guard against the dangers outside. We're not imprisoning anyone. His legs are his own. If he insists on going out, there's nothing we can do, right?" The half-dwarf had a gloating look on his face. As a follower, he must be of the same mind as his master. Hilton hated Rob. Ever since the two met, the beautiful blonde man had never been able to gain any advantage over the quasi-magus. Naturally, the half-dwarf also couldn't bear to see Rob doing well. He hoped that Rob would never return. It would be even better if he was directly taken away by some wild beast. That would be even more satisfying.
Beck was a little annoyed at being questioned like this. He frowned and said calmly, "I told him that it's dangerous outside, but it's up to him whether he listened or not."
"Sorry, I don't mean to blame you. Do you know which direction he went?" It was already so late, yet the little scholar was still wandering outside alone. This made Lolo very angry. Could it be that this guy didn't know what fear was? He was obviously the weakest among all of them, yet he was so daring that he could die.
"I don't know." The Elven archer shook his head. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "If you want to find him, you can go to the pool to take a look. At night, when we were fetching water, he seemed to be very interested in that place."
After thanking Beck, Lolo took a torch and hurriedly ran out of the cave.
The girl's worry was not without reason. The primeval forest in the underground city was different from the outside. Many wild beasts would be active after dark, and the danger at night was greater than in the day. Considering the little scholar's clumsy combat power, it was obviously not a good idea to wander outside at this time.
In fact, the longer he stayed outside, the more dangerous it would be. Lolo knew that she didn't have much time left.
The pool that the Elven archer mentioned was about a mile south of the cave where they spent the night. It was located behind a small hill. During the day, the rookie The Brave had also been there. At that time, he didn't pay much attention to it and felt that it didn't take long for him to go back and forth.
But it was the dead of night, and she was walking alone on the quiet, dark path. The bushes around her were rustling, and she did not know what kind of animal was grinding its teeth. It was as if there was a pair of eyes staring at her in the dark. This kind of scary atmosphere was completely different.
After taking two steps out of the cave, Lolo wanted to turn back. But when she thought of the little attendant who had been gone for so long and whose life was uncertain, she gritted her teeth and persevered.
The girl swore that when she found that guy, if he was fine, she would break one of his legs so that he wouldn't run around again in the future. Didn't this guy realize how much trouble he would bring to others by acting on his own?
The girl held the torch in one hand and unsheathed the Elven sword at her waist with the other. The faint glow from the sword made her feel a little more at ease. She finally had the time to take a good look at her surroundings.
To be fair, if one didn't consider the hidden dangers in the dark, the primeval forest was beautiful at night. Unlike the deformed and twisted trees in the Endless Sea of Trees, the trees here were full of life. Their straight trunks and green vines coiled around them. Their beautiful treetops were bathed in the silver starlight.
She didn't know how the civilization that built this underground city did it. There was a day and night cycle in this deep underground, and the changing of the stars. It was unbelievable. It was no wonder many people believed that everything here was the work of the gods, that it was a relic left behind by the gods in the mortal world.
The occasional breeze, the dewdrops on the leaves of the shrubs, and the change in temperature between day and night. Everything here was exactly the same as on the ground. If it wasn't for the slightly dimmer full moon in the sky, Luo Luo would have suspected that she was in another space and time.
However, this peace was quickly broken. When she walked to the bottom of the slope in front of the pool, the rookie The Brave was shocked. Her scalp went numb.
The place was crowded with all kinds of magical beasts, and all of them were powerful characters. Even the weakest among them was at the level of a Grade 2 professional. Some of them were even natural enemies of each other. Normally, they would fight each other to the death when they saw each other. However, at this moment, they were all quietly lying on the ground, not interfering with each other's business. It seemed that they were waiting for something.
One of the Gale Cheetahs had the sharpest hearing. It heard the rookie The Brave's footsteps from afar and turned to look at the swordswoman. Lolo was shocked and almost screamed.
The Gale Cheetah was known as the ace hunter among the magical beasts. Its movement speed was terrifying, especially in the forest. Almost no creature could escape from it. At the same time, it had mastered two wind magic spells. If the Gale Cheetah pounced on the rookie The Brave, Lolo wouldn't have the chance to escape.
At the crucial moment, a hand reached out from the darkness and covered the girl's mouth.
