He Has a Sickness that Needs to be Cured

Chapter 280

unedited

Ferro’s subordinates and the mercenary group were immediately alert, that group of people was speaking with each other for a while. An old man in a high-level robe walked over and gave a graceful salute, while injecting spiritual energy into his speech so that everyone in the mercenary group could hear, “Your Excellencies, It’s a great honor to meet you, can we be friends?”

Xi Ning tilted his head and took a glance, Lin An took out a cloak from the carriage and put it on for him to cover his pointed ears.

The head guard went to negotiate with this man, and soon came back to report to Ferro, “Your Majesty, they want to go in the forest to find treasures.”

There is a rumor that there is a high tower in the forest, and there are countless treasures and gold coins hidden inside.

Knowing that Xi Ning and his party were just looking for a flower and had no idea about the treasure in the tower, the magician who came over breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his team.

They tied their horses outside, drew a magic formation around it. They were not afraid of their horses being taken away by passers-by and took the lead and went into the woods.

Lin An watched the group of people enter the forest until their backs completely disappeared, and withdrew his cold gaze.

After the personnel on Ferro’s side were arranged, two wind magicians walked out of the team to disperse the toxins in the air surrounding the forest, revealing a safe passage.

Among the people who entered, in addition to Ferro, Xi Ning was the key protection target. Since the head of the mercenary group and his subordinates were the strongest, they are the ones that lead the way with the dwarf. Xi Ning was a little behind them and he entered the ghost forest under escort.

The dwarf was very relaxed. He came here once and knew that there was no danger in the outer circle of the forest. He chatted with the leader in front of him, “Have you brought enough tents and sleeping bags? I don’t want to sleep with others……”

The head of the mercenary group tilted his head in one direction, stopped and made a movement that indicated others to be silent.

The dwarf said inexplicably, “What’s the matter? I told you all, there won’t be any danger now……”

Before he could finish speaking, a shrill scream came from a distance.

Xi Ning also heard it, he was startled, pulled Lin An behind him, and the guards around him quickly entered a state of battle.

Lin An frowned slightly, and there were several roars and fighting sounds of wild beasts in the direction of the screams.

Most probably it’s the same group of people who had just entered. With Ferro’s approval, the head of the mercenary group ordered a few people to go take a look and help if necessary.

They also approached after them, and when they arrived at the scene, there was a corpse of a four class sawtooth tiger on the ground, and also a human corpse beside it.

The magician who greeted them before swallowed a pill to restore spiritual energy, and took off his torn robe, “We were attacked by this beast because of our carelessness. You guys should also be alert.”

The dwarf stepped forward to inspect the corpse of the Sawtooth Tiger with a solemn expression, scratching his head, “No, how could this beast appear near the periphery?”

The level of monsters in this forest is clearly distributed, and the fourth level should appear in the inner layer or near the inner layer. How could this sawtooth tiger come here?

The head of the mercenary group unscrewed his water bottle and took a sip, “We have no time to worry about it, find the Red Frost Flower as soon as possible.”

Lin An looked at the position of the tower from the back, and he frowned under his mask.

The dwarf is quite familiar with the ghost forest and he is right. The fourth-class monsters should not appear here. The sawtooth tiger has a strong sense of territory and will not easily run so far, unless there is something in it that makes it terrifying.

In the center of this forest, the only thing that can threaten these beasts is the tower he left behind.

If someone climbed to the top of the tree and looked into the distance, they could see a building jutting out of a corner, and Lin An could feel the call coming from there without even looking.

Xi Ning approached Lin An, Lin An returned to his senses and lowered his head. Xi Ning said to him nervously, “Don’t wander around, it’s very dangerous here.”

He remembered that the dwarf had told him that ordinary people

would most likely die if they entered the forest. Although Lin An was not an ordinary low-level warrior, Xi Ning was still very worried, “How about you……wait for me outside?”

“Don’t worry, Your Highness,” Lin An said in a low voice, “I’ll be fine.”

Xi Ning was still worried, and warned again, “Then you must be careful, we can leave after we find the Red Frost Flower.”

Lin An was silent for a while, then asked, “Is this flower important to you, Your Highness?”

“Of course, I promised His Majesty Ferro to save his wife,” Xi Ning nodded, “Red Frost Flower is his only hope.”

On the road, Xi Ning often saw Ferro take out a pocket watch and watch it quietly. He once asked curiously, and His Majesty Ferro told him that the pocket watch contained a portrait of the queen.

He gave it to Xi Ning for him to take a look. The young woman in the portrait was outstanding, with a quiet and elegant smile, she seemed to be a very gentle person.

Ferro could have stayed in the palace, but because he was worried, he followed the convoy. He had promised the queen that he would come back with the flower safely.

Lin An quickly replied, “I got it.”

Since this is what Xi Ning wants to do, he will wait until he finds the Red Frost Flower before finding a chance to take Xi Ning away.

The group continued to move forward. The dwarf had a good memory. He took the map to identify the direction, put away his playful expression, and led everyone to the direction of the Red Frost Flower quickly.

If they want to reach the lake where the Red Frost Flower is located, they must first pass through the outer layer of the forest. The lake is in the middle layer. Originally, there were only low-class monsters in the outer layer, and there were many second-class and third-class monsters in the middle layer, but now a fourth-class monster has appeared in the outer layer. The dwarf is not sure what they will encounter if they go further.

Everyone can only speed up as much as possible, so they can leave early.
