"here it is……"
"Jie!"
"Another turn?"
Looking at the dark forest ahead, the sky and the fresh footprints that fit perfectly with his feet, Gus couldn't help but curl his lips in annoyance.
"really!"
"Maybe I shouldn't have taken a shortcut into this dense forest..."
Although he said that, he didn't want to continue to retreat and could no longer retreat. After thinking about it, of course he could only continue to walk forward towards a place without footprints.
"look!"
(▽)
"Idiot Uncle Gus, I just said that!"
()
"This forest doesn't look normal, but you just came in. It's okay now. You won't be able to get out today!"
(ω)
"Later, it will be fun to wait until dark!"
()hey-hey
At this time, Anne, who was following the other party and sitting on Tibbers' shoulders, dangling her feet and eating wild fruits picked from nowhere, was of course adding insult to injury and gloating and ridiculing from behind.
She used to get lost often, but now she sees other people getting lost too, so she's not to mention how happy she is, especially now that she doesn't need to worry about where she goes, she just needs to follow the other person leisurely.
.
"..."
Gus, who had long been accustomed to reading the taunting words from a naughty little girl behind him, had no intention of paying attention to him. He just continued to walk forward on his own, and he specifically picked out those places where there were no footprints.
Walk.
Anyway, he can't go out tonight, so he is currently planning to break pots and smash them wherever he goes, and then wait until those things appear and then fight for another night. When the sun comes out tomorrow and he can figure out the direction, he will slowly explore out.
That’s it.
But...
As he walked, Gus soon discovered that the forest ahead had become deeper and darker. Even the rotting leaf litter on the ground had become thicker and softer, so that his footprints were different from some images.
There are no traces of the path.
"..."
Now, Gus was even more embarrassed.
Obviously, he knew that. Now he had gone deep into the depths of the jungle. In such an inaccessible and wild place, even if he wanted to regret it and follow the path he had taken to exit, he would not be able to do it easily.
.
So, as a last resort, he was unable to get off the horse and was unwilling to admit defeat in front of a bad little girl and ask for help, so he simply gritted his teeth and continued walking forward.
"Hello!"
o(￣▽￣)ｄ
"Uncle Gus, it's getting dark soon. Don't you really want to find an open place to rest first?"
ヾ(=ω=)o
After walking for a while, after Annie ate a full stomach of wild fruits and gave a satisfied burp, she turned and continued to wave a big sword towards the person in front to clear the way, even though she had not rested all night last night.
But now the strange uncle who still looks very energetic asked.
"..."
Unfortunately, the other party paid no attention to Annie and continued to rush forward, even cutting down several small trees blocking the road.
"Huh?"
(ˊ)
"That is……"
(°ー°〃)
Suddenly, Annie discovered a strange symbol on the trunk of a small tree that had been chopped down by the opponent. Then, she quickly stood up on the shoulders of her little bear Tibbs and looked into the distance.
"!!"
!(;o)o
"Hey! Uncle Gus, there seems to be a barrier over there. It might be someone else's residence. Otherwise, why don't you take a detour?"
()
Then, Annie, who probably discovered something, thought for a moment, and suddenly made a suggestion to the idiot Gus in front of her.
"..."
It's a pity that Gus just likes to have trouble with Annie.
So, after hearing from Annie that there was a house in front of him, he not only did not stop, but also accelerated and continued to rush forward until he passed through a fog-like barrier like a foggy valley and then disappeared.
In front of Annie.
"All right!"
(＿＿*)
"Let's go, Tibbers! Let's go and take a look, otherwise, he will be beaten to pieces and thrown out!"
(~)
Seeing this, seeing that idiot Gus rashly breaking into someone else's house and disappearing in front of her, Anne had no choice but to pat Tibbers on the head and signal him to hurry forward and follow him.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"Huh?!"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
Soon, after standing on the shoulders of Tibbers the Bear and passing through the fog of the barrier, Annie caught a glimpse of the strange old man Gus standing blankly inside the barrier.
"Wow!"
(ω)
"This is……"
=('ヮ'=)
Then, Annie also saw the reason why the other party was standing still, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"What a beautiful big tree house?"
(^▽^)
It turns out that inside this barrier, there is actually a building built under a big tree, and it is made up of small trees that 'grow' out and use their branches and trunks to form the floor, walls and windows, while the dense leaves form the roof.
Large multi-story treehouse with tiles?
What's more, what's even more exaggerated is that there are dots of light shining around the big tree and the treehouse, and various elemental elves are dancing around them. It looks like a fairyland in a fairy tale.
That style is really unique, even compared to the tree house that Annie lived in when she guided Irena, the youngest trainee witch in history, in a certain world. It is even more beautiful.
The bigger ones are a little more creative and unique.
"..."
And Gus, who had never seen that kind of scene before, was of course dumbfounded, so much so that as he watched, he actually strode forward without any clue.
"Hello!"
(_)ノ
"Uncle Gus, if you go there again, the owner here will be really angry!"
(^o^)／
Upon seeing this, of course Annie quickly called out to the other person and reminded him.
She has already figured out that this should be the home of a certain wizard, the kind of witch that people in this world call a witch, and it is already very unfriendly for them to come here rashly and break into the barrier.
Therefore, it is best to say hello first, see if anyone is there, and then explain.
Otherwise, if you continue to move forward, you will definitely be intruded and attacked by the other party.
"..."
Unfortunately, how could Gus listen to Annie's advice at this time?
He was just like Grandma Liu who had just arrived at the Grand View Garden. While looking left and right to see what was rare, he continued to walk forward and reached out to touch other people's things randomly.
"All right!"
ε=(ο｀*)))Alas
"I don't care about that!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
Seeing this, Anne originally wanted to say hello first, such as asking loudly if anyone was home or something. In that case, it would not be considered an intrusion, and the owner would not be too angry?
However, after seeing the reckless behavior of that idiot Gus, she suddenly became playful and let the little bear stand there waiting to watch the show.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
soon!
Sure enough, Anne got her wish: when that idiot Gus walked into the courtyard in front of someone else's house, he didn't even touch the stone statues that looked like statues?
Then……
Of course, the fool was quickly attracted by the group of activated stone giants with moss on their bodies and some kind of rune marks, which were very similar to the mountains that Annie had seen before, which were everywhere in the world of Azeroth.
Magic puppets of all sizes, like giants, were surrounded.
"Aha!"
(*)
"You don't listen to what people say!"
(*^▽^*)
"It's okay now, there's a good show to watch!"
(｀)
After saying that, Annie cheered, and then she was no longer in a hurry to greet the owner of this place in a witch's way. Instead, while making fun and ridiculing the other party, she simply continued to sit on the shoulders of her little bear and look at him.
It became lively.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"!!"
"What the hell are you?!"
Seeing those things that were activated due to his proximity and touch and then moved to surround him, Gus of course immediately picked up the big sword hanging behind his back, and then made an attack posture while
Silently observing those strange creatures.
"Jie!"
"That thing again?!"
Of course, perhaps, they are not living creatures at all, but the undead or the apostle's monsters like the countless ones he killed in the past?
Anyway, after Gus observed it for a while, he discovered that even if they didn't feel like that, they should be similar.
so……
"!!"
"Go away!!"
Wow!!
So, after roughly observing and analyzing it for a while, Gus, who saw that the monsters had no intention of stopping and were already in a bad mood. To put it bluntly, he had some mental problems, of course he stepped forward decisively.
One sword cut the largest 'mountain giant' in half.
"Great!"
()
"Hit him!!"
(*)
Seeing that the two sides started fighting soon, Anne began to swing her feet and watched the excitement on Tibbers' shoulders, cheering loudly and cheering.
nature!
Who she is cheering for is a debatable question.
(…)
(￢￢.)
"Get away!"
"You monsters!!"
After discovering that the monster in front of him seemed to have nothing but appearance, not only his movements were clumsy and slow, but also his defense was not high, even worse than those of the undead, demons and some twisted creatures, Guts exerted all his courage and struck out with just a few swords.
The dozen or so big and small 'mountain giants' were chopped into a pile of pieces.
"whispering sound……"
"too weak!"
Soon, looking at the debris on the ground, Gus spat with disdain.
You know, in the past, he has been fighting against endless demons, undead souls, undead spirits, monsters and even powerful apostles and survived to this day. But now, these mere dozen monsters are less powerful than those who are fighting.
For those stronger beings that couldn't be killed throughout the night, it was indeed not enough to watch.
But…..
Gus didn't wait long for his pride to go forward and slap the door of other people's tree houses arrogantly. He was surprised to see those stone monsters quickly gathered together and returned to their original appearance, and then, at the same time, there were more
Monsters, monsters that look similar in size but are made of mud, rising from the ground?
That number, at a rough count, turned out to be dozens or hundreds, and they blocked all the space in front, behind, left, and right of him in an instant?!
"!!"
"What?!"
"damn it!"
Seeing that the opponent could not only recover instantly but also increase in number several times, Gus had no choice but to become angry and continued to rush forward with his sword waving and fight with those who were clumsy but extremely determined to surround him.
The monsters went on a killing spree.
"Come on!"
()
"Uncle Gus, people like you!"
(,,,,)
Seeing that the other party was once again fighting fiercely with those magic puppets that would be constantly resurrected and restored, Annie didn't even think about it. She just took out something and ate it while watching it with relish. Then, she cheered the other party from time to time.
.
"Don't let them get close!"
ψ(｀)o
"They are very powerful!"
()
"oops!"
(*/＼*)
"Everyone said, don't let them get close. Look, have they been hammered?"
(^_^;)
As the battle continued, Annie of course continued to yell in the distance.
Although, she knew how to completely eliminate those magic puppets made of stone and clay, and she could see their weaknesses at a glance, but she chose not to tell them.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"Go away!!"
At this time, Gus couldn't care about so much. He was unable to get off the tiger, so he really had no other better way besides fighting back and using his big sword to chop the monsters into pieces.
"go to hell!!!"
"drink!!!"
"go away!!!"
"Ahhhh!!!"
“I don’t believe you can always recover!!!”
In this way, amidst Gus's roars, the fierce group fight continued...
However, Quicks and I discovered with some despair that those stone men and clay men could really recover continuously?
Moreover, what shocked him even more was that more stone men or clay men appeared again, and then, gradually, he discovered that it was still daytime, but he seemed to be dealing with those demons and twisted undead at night.
Same, trapped in an endless fight?
"come on!"
(ˊ〇ˋ*)
"Keep up the good work, Uncle Gus, because there seem to be more of them!"
(⌒_⌒;)
At this time, even though the battle lasted for more than ten minutes, a certain troubled little girl was still just cheering and watching the show, with no intention of helping.
"!!"
(**;)
"Eh?"
!?('')
At this moment, her unscrupulous and gloating performance finally attracted the attention of those magic puppets. Then, after a group of giant clay figures on the outermost edge found that they could not squeeze into the middle and attacked the enemy, they turned around and attacked the enemy.
They surrounded her, intending to attack her, the equally unwelcome 'intruder' first.
"Your opponent is over there!"
!(;o)
Seeing this, Annie quickly stretched out her hand to give instructions to the stupid puppets, indicating that they should turn around and look for Uncle Gus who was still shouting and fighting in front of them, instead of looking for trouble with her.
"..."
(~)
Unfortunately, those 'mountain giants' and 'clay giants' had no intention of obeying her orders. They still surrounded her firmly and raised their fists unsteadily.
"They are going to take action!"
o(*｀ー)o
"hateful!"
(ψ｀╭╮′)o
Seeing that the other party did not accept her kindness, Annie did not hesitate anymore and stretched out her hand directly, and then a fan-shaped flame burned towards the "Mountain Giant" and "Clay Giant".
The next moment!
As the flames scorched past, the red-hot and cracked 'mountain giants' and 'clay giants' were shattered to pieces, and unlike the 'mountain giants' and 'clay giants' around Gus, they could not be restored again.
It recovered, but just turned into a pool of dark red and steaming soil and rocks.
"!!"
"drink!!!"
Not far away, after seeing Annie's action and the "mountain giants" and "clay giants" no longer recovering, Gus was still entangled with a large number of enemies. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Then, he was getting tired of being entangled for a long time.
He couldn't help it anymore, and with a shout, he let the big sword in his hand wrap the holy flame, and quickly chopped one of them into pieces with the huge sword wrapped in the holy flame.
Cut in half.
"So that's it!"
"They need to be burned to destroy them?!"
After chopping a few of them, Gus continued to deal with the rest, but out of the corner of his eye, he kept secretly paying attention to the ones he chopped up and burned with the holy flames. After discovering that they could no longer be eaten and restored,
Finally, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What a troublesome bunch!"
"So!"
"bring it on!!!"
With that said, Gus took a deep breath, then rushed straight into the opponent's formation and started killing them, preparing to wipe them all out in one go!
In the past, his big sword could kill and chop even demons, undead and apostles. But now, these not-so-powerful monsters can only be destroyed with that kind of power, which makes him a little bit nervous.
I think it's quite rare.
"Ha ha!"
"bring it on!"
"Look how many more you have!"
Amid laughter, he discovered that he had used the right method. He quickly entered the formation of the 'mountain giants' and 'clay giants' and was like a broken bamboo. In a short while, he chopped them into pieces and burned at least 100 of them with the holy flames.
There were dozens of them, and they were about to annihilate the enemy's entire army.
"stop!"
At this moment, just when Gus was about to kill all the 'Mountain Giants' and 'Clay Giants', a scream rang out.
"Golems!"
"Back off!"
Immediately afterwards, under her scolding, the remaining thirty or fifty mountain giants and clay giants paused for a moment, and then slowly retreated.
"!!"
"why you?"
Seeing that the enemy finally stopped, Gus breathed a sigh of relief and immediately looked in the direction of the sound. Then, on the second floor of the tree house, he saw a familiar figure and reluctantly
I couldn't help but exclaimed subconsciously.
turn out to be……
It wasn't anyone who made the noise, but the sweet and cute green-haired witch Shirji with short hair, a big witch hat!
At this time, the other party was standing in the corridor on the second floor of the tree house, holding the tall wand and looking down at him with a serious expression.
"Hi~!"
(゜▽＾*)
"Miss Shirji, hello!"
ヾ(⌒⌒*)~
Anne, who also saw the other party, naturally waved excitedly to the other party without thinking and with a playful smile, as if the other party was her friend, and what she and a strange uncle just did was a very friendly exchange.
The doors are the same.
(.)
(●￣()￣●)
"."
Shirji, the green-haired witch who heard Anne's greeting, still stood there without saying a word, and looked back and forth between the two of them with a complicated gaze on her expressionless face.
