Little bits of firelight flashed, and gradually the sound of dead branches being broken by boots could be heard.
Now it was easy to tell that the people following the little pony were not other monsters, but people.
There were about four or five of them, heading straight towards the little pony.
It seems that these people are very experienced and very good at tracking prey.
There was a noise in the low bushes, but Wu Tong, Lieyan Ma and the silver-white foal raised their heads together and looked towards the tree on the upper left side of the bushes.
Almost at the same time, a man in green clothes jumped out with a bow and arrow.
As soon as the man appeared, he drew his bow and pointed it at Wu Tong.
This was probably a habitual action to ensure that he could hit the dangerous target as soon as possible.
The noise in the bushes below was just deliberately made by the trackers to attract the target's attention.
Unfortunately, Wu Tong and the two horses were not ordinary prey, and the trackers' tricks were obviously useless.
Archers are the scouts in the team and act as eyes.
But now this eye was surprised because he was faced with the attention of three pairs of eyes.
It's so frustrating, knowing where you're going to be when you're trying to surprise someone, it makes the archer feel like a fool.
Then Wu Tong and the two horses looked away again and looked at the bushes that made the noise just now.
This time someone really appeared.
This is a woman who moves as fast as a wild leopard.
There are wrist knives tied to her hands.
She can use her hands and feet when moving at high speed.
There is also some oil paint on her face, covering up her originally fair skin.
Subconsciously, Wu Tong felt that this woman had the best fighting skills she had ever seen, and her whole body could be used as a weapon.
The woman, like the archer, appeared in a dashing way and was stunned for a moment.
She didn't expect that there was someone here.
But she was better than the archer.
The woman was startled and immediately hid back in the woods, instead of just staying in the tree stupidly like the archer.
The woman's movements alerted the archer, and he turned around and hid in the woods after taking one last look at Wu Tong.
After a while, the bushes were separated, and a group of five people appeared in front of Wu Tong.
The wild woman who walked at the front was still the wild woman.
Now she had put the wrist knife back into the sheath tied to her arm and raised her hands to show that she was not hostile.
"It's surprising that I can meet a lone adventurer here.
You are so brave.
And your horse is also amazing.
This is the Flame Horse.
This is the first time I've seen it.
It's really amazing.
Beautiful.
I am Lilai and you are" The woman spoke first, praising Wu Tong and Lieyan Ma.
"Wu Tong, you are very good, you found me so quickly."
Wu Tong glanced around and saw that besides Lilai and the archer, there were three other people, one woman and two men.
This is a five-person team.
The composition of the team is very reasonable.
There are two melee professionals, Lilai is an assassin-type warrior, and a tall and strong middle-aged man carrying an exaggerated door-panel-like axe, probably Very advantageous in strength.
There is also a magician.
Magicians who can survive in the Southern Cross Forest are not magicians in the ordinary sense.
Their movements are very flexible and they can move and cast spells.
The magician in this team did not wear a robe that was difficult to move, but changed into a leather armor, with a wand that looked like a dead branch stuck to his waist, and a small shield tied to his left arm.

As for the last person, she is also a woman.
She is even rarer than the previous four combined.
There is a red cross on the woman's chest, which means that she was once a priest of the Holy See of Light, but now she is a defector.
Once the priests and priests of the Holy See of Light join the Holy See, they will be suppressed by the Holy See for life, but there are always some people who can't stand those rules and regulations and choose to leave alone.
This situation makes the Holy See of Light very embarrassed, because the Holy See claims that only servants of God are qualified to use Holy Light Magic.
However, the reality is that these defectors can still use Holy Light Magic, and after being tempered, they have both combat and healing abilities.
They are much better than people who stay in church and only know how to pray all day long.
The Holy See of Light calls these people defectors, and there is a reward for catching them and sending them to the Holy See.
Most of the prisoners in the Holy See are defectors.
"Wu Tong, right?
This name is a bit hard to pronounce.
I wonder why Wu Tong came here alone.
Maybe we can help."
Lilai was very enthusiastic, but the eyes of the people behind him were always on The flaming horse and the silver pony swam back and forth.
Especially the foal, it was the prey they had been tracking for a long time, and they were about to succeed, but now something went wrong, they were more or less dissatisfied.
But life is like this.
The goal you spend countless energy pursuing ends up falling into the arms of others.
Whether it is wealth, position or women, it all has this characteristic.
At this time, you can either give up or take it back by force.
There is no such thing as fair or unfair.
"You can't help me with my matter unless you don't want to leave this forest."
Wu Tong answered honestly.
Although these five people are quite strong, if they encounter an elf like Evening Star, none of them will be able to leave.
We won’t ask anymore.
But that white pony is the prey we have been tracking for a long time.
I wonder if you can return it to us.
"Lilai saw that the other party didn't appreciate the mincing words, so she simply stated their purpose directly.
The little pony is very smart.
After hearing Lilai's words, he immediately became very panicked, for fear that Wu Tong would hand it over.
The little guy banged his hooves on the ground, bit Wu Tong's leather armor and wouldn't let go, and rubbed against Wu Tong's body desperately.
"I know, you came not long after it arrived.
Obviously you didn't come for me."
Understanding Long Live Wu Tong's words made Lilai's expression soften a lot, but then Wu Tong said something that made her collapse.
"Suppose you are walking on the street and a poor child suddenly grabs your clothes and asks you for help.
Behind him is a group of villains who want his life.
And you find that those people do not seem to be your opponents.
How can you save him?
Not a rescue”
Not only Lilai, the four people behind her froze almost at the same moment.
Wu Tong's metaphor made Lilai unable to answer.
First of all, Wu Tong qualifies those who chase children as villains.
If the answer is no, it means that they are the same as the villains.
But if they can be saved, then Lilai and the others can leave now.
The most depressing thing is that Wu Tong made it clear in his words that he felt that Li Lai and the other five were no match for him.
"Well, you can't compare it like this."

Lilai forced out a smile.
"Why not?
Isn't this horse a child?
Look at it, does it look like it's asking for help from me?"
This Lilai couldn't deny it.
She couldn't figure out why this little beast came to him for help even though he was a human.
And judging by its appearance, it seems to be very dependent on and trusting Wu Tong.
After meeting the little pony, Lilai tried every means to please the little pony and tried to gain its trust, but she never succeeded.
Wu Tong did not have to do anything to let the little pony get in on its own.
"Lilai, there's no need to talk nonsense to him.
We discovered it first.
We have no reason to give up."
Seeing Wu Tong and Li Lai talking endlessly, the magician behind probably thought that Wu Tong wanted to take over the little guy by force, so he couldn't help shouting.
The shielded magician had a bad temper.
After shouting, he immediately pulled out his wand and cast a spell quickly, as fast as a Western gunslinger.
Wu Tong felt his feet go soft, and then slowly sink.
A swamp appeared where he and Lilai were, swallowing their boots bit by bit.
It was obvious that the magician was an earth magician, and the quagmire spell was very effective against fast and large monsters.
"Roba" Lilai turned her head and shouted, very dissatisfied with his rash attack.
But now that the action has been taken, it’s all over.
Lilai knelt down and patted the mud with both hands, and then flew out of the mud, out of the range of the mud spell.
Wu Tong did not take action because he was very dissatisfied with the sneak attack by the flaming horse magician Luo Ba.
This horse with four hooves burning with flames let out an angry neigh, stood up on its two hind legs, and then stepped down hard with its front hooves.
A ring of fire centered on its front hooves and quickly spread outward.
The swamps disappeared one after another and turned into solid land again.
There was another thin neigh, and the little white horse, which had always been timid, jumped a little like the flaming horse, but nothing happened, as if it was just cheering for the flaming horse.
This little thing is quite cute.
Although he has no ability, he knows how to fight others to make the flame horse fight.
"Brother, there is no need.
It can be seen that you are not short of money.
There is no need to grab things from us, right?
Although you are very strong and none of us are your opponents individually, but the five of us put together you can't."
It’s impossible to win easily, why fight to the death?”
The big man who spoke was carrying an exaggerated axe.
Surprisingly, he had a much better temper than the magician.
"Everyone, how about taking a step back and making friends?
I am Salmon, and you already know Lilai.
These two are brothers Roach and Robert, and this one."
The big man Salmon pointed at the defector from the Holy See of Light but did not say anything.
Saying her name, "How about you return it to us and we do you a favor.
No matter what you want to do, it will always be much easier with our help."
"I don't want to be troublesome, but it took the initiative to ask me for help.
I have no reason to refuse."
Wu Tong remained unmoved.
"In any case, we are all human beings.

There is no need to fight to the death for a magical beast.
What do you think, brother, your statement is not very valid.
Besides, we are not villains who bully children, we are just adventurers.
"Salmon tried to change Wu Tong's mind.
"I don't think so.
To us, you five are really villains who bully children.
The three of us are different from you from the beginning."
Wu Tong smiled evilly.
To him, Xiao Pony was really just a child
