That little boy, Marcarlos, was really special, but that was something we didn't know until later.
Over the next few days, the Demon Hunting Blade and the Iron Wolf Mercenaries patrolled the perimeter of the camp, looking for traces of the dark forces in the Misty Swamp.
Today, it was Ivina and my turn to patrol the western perimeter of the camp, while Avina and Loser were in the same team.
The Misty Swamp was called that because of the large temperature difference between the surface and the ground, the heat evaporated into steam and condensed into a large amount of fog.
It was easy to get lost in the Misty Swamp. Ivina and I stayed close to each other, afraid that we would get separated.
"Are you from Avinia?"
"No, I live in a small village near the Bramble Forest. I'm a wood elf," Ivina said without hiding anything.
Although the comparison between wood elves and high elves sounded like the comparison between the rich and the poor among humans, the discrimination between elves was very mild.
Ivina's appearance might only be considered average among elves, but she was definitely one of the top beauties among humans. I felt that her body and agility were her greatest assets. She was much more agile than Avina.
Not to mention, her figure was comparable to Natalia's.
Perhaps she was a little embarrassed by my gaze, but she didn't dare to look me in the eye.
"Do you humans like to stare at girls like this?" Ivina said.
"I'm just admiring. I have no other intentions."
"If you dare to have any other thoughts, my bow will not be polite." Ivina gestured at me.
On the other hand, Avina and Loser were together.
"Beautiful lady, it is my honor to be in the same team as you." Loser followed Avina like a pug.
"You remind me of a sled dog I used to have. Its name was Sim," Avina said with slight disdain.
"Where is it now?"
"It signed a contract with me and became my summoned beast," Avina said.
"You won't turn me into a summoned beast, will you?" Loser looked at Avina timidly.
I had to admit that Avina had changed a lot in the past few years. From the waitress of the Green Dragon Tavern, to the helpless girl on the nameless island, to the independent archer in the Blood Castle, to the battle-hardened mercenary now.
"Not for now, but it depends on your performance," Avina said with a smile.
"Good." Loser broke out in cold sweat.
We searched like this for about three days, but we still didn't find any clues.
On the fourth day, Loser rushed back to the campsite alone. Everyone else hadn't gone out to search, so they were basically all in the camp.
Loser panted and said that something bad had happened, that they were in trouble, and that Aveena had called him back for help.
Loser, Loser, Avina, Loser.......
Lothar led us to the southwest side of the camp, where we finally saw Aveena. She was struggling to hold on, and there was a beastman we didn't know fighting side by side with her.
We had only heard of the beastman race before, but we had never seen one with our own eyes.
Now that we saw the appearance of a beastman with our own eyes, we were shocked.
The beastman had green skin, a tall and burly body, fangs protruding from the corners of his mouth, and explosive muscles all over his body. In particular, this beastman was riding a snow-white giant wolf. The giant wolf's movements were agile and ferocious.
The beastman and Avina had their backs facing each other. Surrounding them was another group of red-skinned beastmen that didn't ride giant wolves.
These red-skinned beastmen should be the legendary evil beastmen. They were originally the martyrs of the beastmen race who died in battle, but were eroded by the unknown demonic energy of the Misty Swamp and turned into monsters.
The few of us didn't say a word and immediately rushed forward.
Flants and I rushed to the front. I raised the Sword of Retribution and slashed at the evil beastmen in front of us. Something unexpected happened. This group of evil beastmen didn't have a physical body. The moment the beastman was cut by the Sword of Retribution, he turned into a cloud of black gas and dissipated in the fog.
My sword missed and almost cut my waist. This reminded me of the Ghost Rider in Boheep Town a few years ago.
Flants didn't rush forward to attack, but held his shield in front of me.
At this time, the evil beastman that disappeared suddenly appeared in front of us. Natalya's fireball flew behind us and hit the evil orc's body.
Without exception, this group of evil beastmen were immune to magic. The fireball passed through the evil beastman's body as if it passed through a cloud of smoke and fell on the swamp behind the evil beastman.
For a time, everyone attacked the nine evil beastmen that surrounded Avina and the strange beastman.
The evil beastmen were unscathed, but a mercenary was hit by the giant axe in the evil beastman's hand, and his whole body was cut in half.
At this time, Mayfair remembered an ancient magic.
"Undead Dispel!" Mayfair chanted a complicated incantation.
With a white light, the group of evil beastmen was instantly turned into ashes, leaving only Mayfair weakly half-squatting on the ground.
"Great!" The mercenaries cheered.
I was also very happy because Avina wasn't hurt.
After everyone buried the mercenary's body, they walked back to the camp. The beastman also followed behind us. Avina told us how she met the beastman.
She and Loser were patrolling together when they heard the sound of weapons clashing. They followed the sound and found the beastman.
After returning to the camp, the beastman put the giant wolf outside the camp because the mercenaries didn't agree to let the giant wolf in.
The beastman followed Evina to the leader's tent and saw Fawns.
"It's you? Baturu. "
"Fawns, I didn't expect to meet you here."
As soon as the two of them met, they gave each other a warm hug, making us stunned. I didn't expect Fawns to have beastmen as friends.
Baturu told Fawns the purpose of this trip through the Foggy Swamp. He came to find reinforcements. He also told Fawns about the disaster the beastmen had suffered and the Moonblade Fortress's human indifference.
Also, he was the only one left of his team of wolf knights. Everyone had sacrificed themselves on this expedition. The Foggy Swamp was truly filled with danger. Not only were there evil beastmen, but there were also other dangers.
In short, Baturu was very happy to meet an old friend again.
That day, Baturu ate a full meal at the camp and chatted with Fawns until late.
