Chirp! Chirp!

In the emerald green forest, hidden in the thick branches of a towering tree, there is a nest made of feathers and branches.

Among them, more than a dozen young chirping warblers stretched out their necks with not yet full feathers, and screamed loudly, obviously waiting for the female bird to feed them.

The bright and warm sunlight shines on these colorful little things through the gaps in the dense leaves, forming small spots of light, making the feathers of the young birds become brighter and brighter.

However, what this urgent soft call attracted was not the female bird returning with food in her mouth.

Instead, prepare to treat these little guys as ruthless predators of delicious food.

Accompanied by a rustling crawling sound.

A giant black spider, at least one meter long, had appeared on the tree trunk above the nest and was slowly approaching the young birds.

At this time, whether it was the huge chelicerae of this giant spider, which began to secrete a large amount of venom, or the eight single eyes neatly arranged on its head, the figures of the warblers were reflected.

All of them showed that this giant spider was already in the hunting stage and was ready to go.

However, those little warblers, who are still young, naturally have no alertness. On the contrary, they are singing more happily because of hunger.

Just when the giant spider was about to move, its chelicerae spread wide and its eight legs covered with bristles were ready to start exerting force.

Under the big tree, a series of rapid footsteps attracted the attention of the giant spider again.

In a moment, a slender figure was reflected in the eight single eyes on the huge head of the giant spider.

This is a thin girl who is about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a very ordinary set of linen clothes.

At this moment, she was holding a thin wooden stick with one hand and a small basket with the other hand. She was slightly hunched over and cautiously moving forward in the forest.

Judging from the girl's pale face and the cautious movements of the soldiers, she was obviously in a very nervous state.

"I heard from the village priest that the four-leaf clover that can cure my father's illness is in this forest. I can't be afraid!"

I saw the starry eyes of the thin girl move, while looking nervously at the surrounding bushes.

While muttering to himself: "However, the hunters in the village are afraid to come to this forest, saying that there are terrible monsters living here. I am so thin and must have teeth. The monsters will not regard me as a human being." Prey, right?"

Although she comforted herself, the girl still swallowed unconsciously, and her sallow face began to become paler.

Then, as if she sensed something, she suddenly raised her head and looked towards where the giant spider was.

However, the giant spider had moved its position and quietly climbed to the tree trunk behind her.

Therefore, the frightened girl saw nothing and had to turn her gaze to the surrounding dense bushes, fearing that some magical beast would suddenly swoop out from them.

"Don't be afraid. My father once said that our family is the descendant of King Loren's family. We were once the protectors of this land. How can we succumb to a mere monster?"

Having said this, the girl clenched the thin wooden stick in her hand, and her panicked face became determined again.

At this moment, the lurking giant spider, seeing the right moment, suddenly jumped down from the tree trunk and rushed towards the unaware girl from behind!

Soon enough, the giant spider's venom-covered claws were about to approach the girl's fair neck.

Accompanied by an invisible energy arrow, it shot out quickly.

There was a muffled sound of "bang", and the giant spider in mid-air was like a black rag bag, nailed directly to the thick tree trunk nearby, and then slowly fell to the ground.

Only a pool of extremely corrosive and sticky spider body fluids was left, with traces of smoke still rising on the bark.

Because all this happened in the blink of an eye, the forest returned to its former peace.

Needless to say, the one who took action was Nan Xing who was beside Lei Xiao.

After advancing to the level of a fourth-level powerhouse, she has mastered how to use energy crossbows.

However, the weird things have just begun.

Until Lei Xiao and others walked up to the thin girl carrying the basket.

The other party was in a state of confusion, his eyes still filled with alertness and panic, looking around aimlessly.

Even the giant spider not far away that had lost its life breath and had its legs in the air was completely ignored.

As for Lei Xiao and his group, they didn't speak, they just looked at the girl in front of them quietly.

"Lord, this mirage is quite real. Unexpectedly, even the black steel spider was confused."

After a while, Chao Yan was seen holding the pointed witch hat, saluting Lei Xiao and saying: "If it were an ordinary person, he would really think that there is a big living person standing here!"

"That's right, being able to see a mirage here that is rare to see in a hundred years is an adventure."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

He had already understood the so-called mirage before.

Its formation mechanism is almost the same as that of mirages, and they are both natural phenomena unique to this different world of swords and magic.

To put it bluntly, it means that images from other places can be randomly projected to another place. This is only possible under extremely rare circumstances.

However, what the mirage projects is everything in the entire area, including people and various landscape buildings, while what the mirage projects is just a simple person.

And, it is worth mentioning that, apart from that, the two have one more thing in common.

That is the projected illusion, sometimes it is a scene that is happening now, and sometimes it is a scene that has happened in the past.

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.

The body of the thin girl holding the basket in front of her began to slowly become insubstantial, until she finally completely disappeared in front of everyone.

"I hope this poor girl has found the four-leaf clover that saved her father."

Seeing this, Bai Wei's furry ears moved slightly, and she murmured to herself: "After all, because of the appearance of her illusion, she indirectly saved a nest of wailing orioles waiting to be fed."

"I hope so. "

On the other side, Lei Xiao motioned to his subordinates to move on, and said thoughtfully: "But, having said that, I always feel like I have seen that girl somewhere..."

"Oh? My subordinates don't have much impression."

Hearing Lei Xiao's low murmur, Ariel on the side was so confused that she thought for a long time, and finally shook her head and said.

Then, she seemed to remember something, and said, "The girl just now said that she is a descendant of King Loren's family. I have to say, this is really a coincidence."

After Ariel finished speaking, the group of people had arrived at a ruined wall in a dense forest.

Needless to say, this is exactly what we visited yesterday, the ancient ruins of the Loren Kingdom located next to the Songyin Mountains.

"Okay, let's start taking action."

Looking at the desolate scene full of history around him, Lei Xiao nodded to the subordinates around him.
