Chirp chirp! 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 warblers are stretching their necks with not yet plump feathers, scrambling to chirp, apparently waiting for the female to be fed.

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

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

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

Accompanied by a rustling crawling sound.

A giant black spider with a length of at least one meter had already appeared on the tree trunk above the nest, and slowly approached the young birds.

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

All of them show that this giant spider is already in the hunting stage of getting ready to go.

However, those little warblers who were still young naturally didn't have any alertness. Instead, they screamed more happily because of hunger.

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

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

After a while, a slender figure was reflected in the eight monocular eyes on the huge head of the giant spider.

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

At this moment, she was holding a thin wooden stick tightly in one hand, and a small basket in the other hand, bowing her waist slightly, and advancing cautiously in the forest.

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

"I heard from the pastor and grandpa in the village that the four-leaf clover that can heal my father is in this forest. I can't be afraid!"

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

He muttered to himself: "However, the hunters in the village dare not come to this forest, saying that there are terrible monsters living here. I am so thin, I must have teeth, and the monsters probably won't treat me as a prey?"

Although she comforted herself, the girl swallowed unconsciously, and her sallow face also became paler.

Immediately afterwards, she seemed to sense something, and suddenly raised her head to look at the location of the giant spider.

However, since the giant spider had shifted its position, it quietly climbed to the tree trunk behind her.

Therefore, the terrified girl didn't see anything, so she had to shift her gaze to the surrounding dense bushes, for fear that some magical beast would suddenly pounce out of it.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. My father once said that our family is the descendant of the royal family of King Loren. We used to be the protectors of this land. How can we succumb to mere monsters?"

Having said that, the girl clenched the thin stick in her hand, and her flustered face became firm again.

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

It was too late to say it, just at the moment when the giant spider's chelicerae covered with venom were about to approach the girl's fair neck.

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

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

All that was left was a puddle of highly corrosive sticky spider fluid, and there was still smoke on the tree bark.

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

Needless to say, it was Nan Xing who was beside Lei Xiao who made the move.

After advancing to the level of the fourth-order powerhouse, she has already mastered the method of using the energy crossbow.

However, the weirdness is just beginning.

Until Lei Xiao and the others approached the thin girl carrying the basket.

The other party was in a state of being in a daze, still looking around aimlessly with vigilance and panic in his eyes.

Even not far away, the giant spider that has lost its vitality and has its eight legs upturned is completely ignored.

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

"My lord, this mirage is quite real. I didn't expect that even the black steel spider was bewildered."

After a while, Chaoyan held on to the pointed witch hat, bowed to Lei Xiao and said, "If you were an ordinary person, you really thought there was a big living person standing here!"

"That's right, it's an adventure to see the rare mirage here."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

He had already known about the so-called mirage before.

Its formation mechanism is almost the same as that of phantom mirage, which is a unique natural phenomenon in this world of swords and magic.

To put it bluntly, it is the ability to randomly project pictures from other places to another place, and it is only possible to generate them under extremely rare circumstances.

However, what the mirage projects is all the things 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, in addition to this, the two have one more similarity.

That is the illusion that is projected, sometimes of what is happening now, and sometimes of what 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 has already begun to slowly become nothingness, until finally she 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 muttered to herself: "After all, because of her illusion, it is equivalent to indirectly saving a brood of warblers waiting to be fed."

"I hope so~lightnovelpub.net~ On the other side, Lei Xiao signaled the subordinates to move on, while thinking thoughtfully: "However, having said that, I always feel that girl, I seem to have seen that girl somewhere..."

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

Hearing Lei Xiao's low murmur, Ariel at the side thought for a long time in confusion, and finally shook her head and said.

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

After Ariel finished speaking, the group of people came to a ruined wall in the dense forest.

Needless to say, this is the ancient ruins of the Kingdom of Loren that I came to yesterday, located next to the Songyin Mountain Range.

"Okay, let's get started."

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