The Haunted Forest was cold and damp. Ice grew out of the iron trees' trunks and hung down from the bare gray branches.
The direwolf, Whitty, charged through the bushes, causing snowflakes to fly everywhere. Jon and Yergret were not slow and followed closely behind.
They climbed up a small hill, then rushed down a slope and came to the forest in front of them …
The direwolf howled softly. Jon and Snow Li shouted to the team behind them, "Something's wrong!"
Downhill, away from the sun, the trees were sparse and short. Red blood splashed on the trampled snow, but there were no corpses nearby.
The old ranger, Ulma, squatted in the snow where half a person's body was. He pinched a dark red blood clot with his fingers and said in surprise, "The blood has just coagulated and there's a lot of blood. This person might have died and then got up … Deviant ghost, be careful. I suspect that there's a deviant ghost chasing after this group of people!"
"Ah —" A wail came from deep in the forest. It was shrill and loud, but it stopped abruptly.
"Awoo —" Whitty crouched and assumed an attacking posture, howling in the direction of the sound.
"There's a deviant ghost in front." Jon was surprised. "It's already daytime and the sun is out. Shouldn't the deviant ghost be hiding?"
Danny frowned and looked around the dark forest. "Deviant ghosts are afraid of sunlight. Moving in the day might make them uncomfortable, but this damned place is deep in the forest and it's hard to see sunlight."
"Then, should we continue chasing?" Jon asked.
"Yes! Jon, Yergret, Ulma, Sir Barristan, Sir Alisa, the five of you will be the vanguard. Immediately enter the forest and stop the deviant ghost. It's best if you can leave a few savages alive. I want to know if the deviant ghost is taking revenge for its believers. "Danny said.
The others agreed readily. Only Alisa, the hardcore member of the Dragon Gang, hesitated. He looked at the Dragon Queen with resentment in his eyes. 'Why do I have to be on every dangerous mission?
It was not easy to survive the deviant ghost attack last night. I'm scared of those ice monsters. Why do you want me to deal with them? '
Danny, however, pretended not to see it. She only cared about giving orders and arranging for the suicide squad to set up the battle formation.
Of course, he had to mention Alisa. After all, everyone knew that he belonged to the Dragon Faction. Only by placing the Dragon Faction's hardcore members in the most dangerous missions would the Dragon Queen be able to convince the masses. Only then would her orders be credible. Only then would she be able to keep her nephew, Jon, as the vanguard …
Anyway, once you put on the black clothes, you will be a Night Watcher forever. Ser Alliser would never be able to leave the Wall for the rest of his life. If he didn't take advantage of this opportunity to shine for the Queen, when the Queen left the Wall in two days, he would no longer be able to serve her.
"Roar roar roar —"
"Clang, clang, clang …"
After a short while, the howling of wolves and the sound of gongs could be heard from the forest ahead. Wisps of white mist began to spread outwards.
"Ssss —"
Dahei, which was hovering over the sky, screamed. Danny pulled out her long sword and rushed over. More than 20 of her minions followed her, screaming.
The forest was dark. The shadows of the tree trunks were indistinct. The ground was covered with moist leaves and a small amount of snow. A faint cold mist spread. Alisa and Ulma were surrounded by five Ghouls.
The Ghouls were wrapped in blood-stained white goatskin cloaks. Their eyes emitted a faint blue light, as if they had just died not long ago.
Not far away, there were three dead people on the ground. Two barbarians were huddled under a tree stump, covering their faces and howling in pain.
Jon and Ser Barristan were rushing into the waist-high bushes. The red-haired girl followed behind them with her bow and arrow.
Danny rushed over, swinging her sword and cutting a Ghoul in half. With another stab, she pierced another Ghoul's heart.
The members of the suicide squad also swarmed forward, using their Dragon Crystal daggers and short swords to stab the three Ghouls full of holes.
"It's really a Deviant Ghost. That monster was even carrying a baby!" Ulma gasped.
Was there nothing special about Kast's bloodline? Could all the barbarian babies be turned into Deviant Ghosts?
That was impossible. If that was the case, wouldn't the number of Deviant Ghosts explode? Even a hundred dragons wouldn't be able to defeat tens of thousands of Deviant Ghosts?!
Danny was puzzled. The more she wanted to find the baby, the more she asked, "Is there only one Deviant Ghost?"
"There should be only one. When we came over, he was standing by the side with the baby in his arms, watching the five Ghouls kill the five barbarians. It didn't seem to be prepared for our arrival. That damned thing … was very surprised, "Alisa said.
"The rest of you stay here. Rangers, follow me."
Danny immediately mounted her horse and led the thirteen cavalrymen into the bushes.
It was rare to see a large patch of Southern Sky Bamboo in a dark, dark green forest. Almost all of its reddish-brown leaves had fallen off. Strings of bright red fruits wrapped in ice crystals hung from the small, dense branches.
Soon, the group of fourteen cavalrymen passed through the low bushes and re-entered the dark forest. They caught up with the red-haired girl and Barristan in front.
Well, the two of them had actually fallen behind. The shadows of Jon and Bai Ling could be vaguely seen further ahead.
"The Deviant Ghost runs too fast. It's not affected by the terrain. I can't even see its ghost shadow." Barristan leaned on his sword and panted.
Dani waved her hand towards the sky, and Blackie crushed a bunch of tree branches and landed in the middle of the Southern Sky Bamboo.
"Tie a rope to Big Black's leg. I'll send you ahead to intercept the Deviant Ghost." Danny took a roll of hemp rope from the saddle and threw it on the ground.
Danny and White Knight had discussed this tactic a long time ago.
Because there were many times and places where Danny didn't dare to let the Megalosaurus take off and land casually.
In the Battle of Kaiyuan, Danny had used this method to save the little assassin Danny Si at the top of the Great Pyramid.
"I'll go too. I have a bow and arrow!" Yergret shouted.
"Okay, each of you tie a leg."
She tied it to one of Big Black's hind legs with a slipknot and tied it in a few seconds.
Big Black flapped its wings and flew into the sky again, then drew an arc across the ground at a low speed. Barristan and Yergret immediately grabbed the hemp rope hanging below the hind legs of the Megalosaurus.
Unable to immediately pull up, Big Black flapped its wings and accelerated. The two pulled the rope and ran on the ground. Their bodies gradually left the ground and flew into the sky.
The whole process was troublesome, but in fact, in the state of the Dragon Spirit, Big Black easily completed this task in 20 seconds.
After that, Big Black flew to a quasi-safe height of 300 meters and listened to the howling of the wolves in the forest.
Well, Jon had also lost track of it.
At this time, his physical body leaned against the trunk and panted. His soul entered the state of the Wolf Spirit and followed closely behind the Deviant Ghost with Bai Ling's body.
Danny also climbed on Little White's back and put Jon in the state of the Wolf Spirit in front of her. She left the cavalry and flew away.
Under the canopy, the dense forest was dark and decaying; above the canopy, the sky was blue and the sun was shining. The endless evergreen forest was like a green carpet, covering the northern land.
The warm southeast wind blew into the mask, and Danny closed her eyes comfortably.
Two Megalosaurus, one white and one black, hovered over the forest, firmly locking on to the howling of the wolves below. Danny began to calculate the running path of the deviant ghost.
Gradually, Danny had some ideas in her mind.
Little White flew over Big Black and the direwolf, and quickly condensed a huge fireball of dragon flame in his mouth. Little White's speed was not fast, because the deviant ghost's speed in the forest was "very slow", so he could stabilize his body and breathe fire.
There was a nine-color meditation vortex in his mind, and Little White had evolved into a "Demon Dragon". His magic power had greatly increased, and he could breathe out dragon flame for 30 seconds in one breath.
Thirty seconds of dragon flame condensed into a huge and heavy fireball, which was not much smaller than the fireball that Big Black breathed out in the old town of school. Even in broad daylight, the savages and night watchers who looked up at the sky in the distance had the illusion that a second sun had risen in the sky.
"Boom —" The sun fell a hundred meters in front of the deviant ghost, and the air waves rolled, flames rose into the sky, and the trees within a radius of 20 meters were set ablaze.
Danny slapped Jon a few times to wake him up from the state of the Wolf Spirit, and asked, "How is it? Did you kill the deviant ghost?"
Jon opened his eyes in a daze, "It dodged."
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes turned white and he lost consciousness.
"That's so frustrating. You can't even do two things at once?" Danny despised him.
In fact, she misunderstood, or perhaps she had set her standards too high, and all the shapeshifters followed the standard requirements of the Green Prophet.
The Green Prophet could control thousands of crows at once, split his consciousness into thousands of parts, and do thousands of things at once. But the difference between a shapeshifter and a Green Prophet was like the difference between a fire wizard and the great wizard of Valleglia. There was a qualitative difference between the two, and they could not be mentioned in the same breath.
For example, the hexagon Valamir, he had seven animal companions, but he could only occupy one animal companion at a time. His soul could not be divided into seven parts and enter the soul space of his seven companions at the same time.
Just like Jon at this time, when he spoke with his body, his soul had to be separated from his animal companions.
"Rumble …"
"Rumble …"
"Rumble …"
"Explosion is art. Crack!" Danny seemed to have turned into Deidara, leaving flame bombs in the forest.
Clusters of fire rose in the quiet and peaceful Ghost Forest, and the flames and grayish-black smoke were like the fingers of the gods, piercing into the sky from the dark green earth.
The Night Watchers on the Great Wall and the savages in the Ghost Forest looked at the falling "red suns" and the red and black smoke rising into the sky, and were stunned.
"This is too scary, too crazy." At the top of the Great Wall, Todd widened his toad-like eyes.
"Did the Blazing Fury really only burn five thousand people to death? With this power, even fifty thousand people would not be enough to kill! "A bald, short, and fat man murmured.
His name was Clydas, and he was the personnel officer of the Night Watchers, and Yimont's assistant. He could read and knew some of the history of the Seven Kingdoms.
"What is His Majesty doing? Is he chasing after the deviant ghosts? But isn't this a little too big? "Old Yimont leaned in front of the Star Observation Mirror and muttered to himself in confusion.
The old scholar stayed up until dawn last night, and only rested for four hours before climbing the Great Wall again.
Ever since he saw the dragon and Danny, the old man seemed to have been rejuvenated and gained a second life, and his gloomy and bleak future became bright.
As long as he saw the dragon, even if they were far away, even if they were just hovering in the sky, he could still watch with great interest.
"Is there a need to do this for a deviant ghost?" In the forest, Sir Mallister and Sir Alisa lamented.
Within an hour, Little White shot out the 47th Dragon Flame Bullet, and the forest within a five-kilometer radius was almost completely bombed.
Finally, the change in quantity led to a change in quality. The Ghost Forest, which was said to have never had a forest fire before, had a large scale fire for the first time in history.
Thick smoke billowed, and fire clouds rose into the sky.
On a rocky hill where there were few trees, the deviant ghost hugged a gray bag and looked at the rising flames in all directions. It raised its head and let out a desperate roar.
"Hiss —" Blackie drew an arc and quickly swept across the ground 50 meters away from the deviant ghost. White Knight and the red-haired girl rolled and landed on the bottom of the hill.
At this time, the deviant ghost had already raised its ice sword and started running. It sped up and threw a fatal blow at Blackie.
"Howl —"
Unfortunately, Little White was on top of the deviant ghost's head and saw its movements clearly. Under the second level Dragon Spirit state, Blackie shared Little White's vision and nimbly leaned to the side, dodging the flying ice sword and letting out a proud dragon roar.
"Demon, put down the child!" White Knight shouted.
