Fro party with powerful co a path at the very front, using the large sword in his hand to cut a narrow route through the dense vegetation A scrawny rogue was following behind the warrior, hisabout the shadows around them
Besides those two, there was an archer with an arrow already knocked, his expression alert There were also terful spellbreaker knights who had taken off their heavy knight's ar chainmail
The bushes were dense, and the trees stretched forever
Cohter shades of green It was honestly difficult to even find any other color
The thick and knotted roots of ancient trees, the resilient vines that wound together, the bushes and vegetations that grew everywhere, as well as all sorts of wildflowers and weeds that couldn't be nah to coe, ancient trees It was undoubtedly an exceptionally tortuous task for any traveller, without preparation, to walk through such pri rivers, streams in the hts in the woods If the terrain had been flat, crossing through these places would not take more than a couple of minutes Yet here in this dense forest, they often had to take two to four hours of great effort to pass through
The warrior, rogue, and archer were veterans who often spent their ti jobs in the Greenland Forest, and were therefore unfazed by the difficulty before thehts that were closely following behind, noithout theirused to the pain of journeying through the hills and rivers

If it hadn't been for the path he cut open, these two knights, ere used to wrapping themselves up in their tin cans, would never have been able to reach here by theed man with a lean build, sharp facial features, as well as a piercing glare He didn't rest by the side of the river and drink deeply like his companion Instead, he leaned on an ancient tall tree at the bottos while occasionally turning his ears to listen for e sounds and he would have his finger on the bowstring If he felt anything out of place, the sharp arrow on his boould instantly shoot out
The rogue, on the other hand, was an agile fellow While everyone was resting, he climbed to the top of the cliff and looked about, periodically leaning down and using hand signals to com?" A spellbreaker knight couldn't help but ask once he was done drinking
Jack was the rogue's name
The archer shook his head, his face white as a sheet, "Nothing at all! This forest is way too quiet I have beenin Greenland Forest for five years, and I have never seen the woods be so quiet; so quiet, not even a small animal can be found! Sir, this forest has been enveloped by an oer spellbreaker knight, his face full of detero back now We hired you to co the den of those heretics Before we find anything, none of us here are allowed to go back!

While he was in a daze, a vine dangling fro on curiouslySilently, the vine that al itself upwards
The tip of the vine split apart, revealing a set of sharp teeth like that of a beast
Just as the vine was slowly inching forward, its sharp teeth about to touch the archer's exposed neck, the rogue on the cliff leapt doards The throwing daggers in his hand screeched through the air and slashed past the archer's ears, hitting square on the tip of the vine
"Clang!" The crisp and clear sound of er, he didn't turn around, and instead flipped forward instantly
The vine wasn't cut or daer It even let out aswords when it was hit The lunging vine didn'tbeen stopped by the dagger It's sharp teeth bit nothing, letting out an odd grinding sound as the teeth gnashed together
It evidently knew it had been exposed, as a weird cracking sound rang out from the roots of the old tree beneath the cliff The tree pulled out its fine yet dense roots fro the towards the hu fro intosounds
"Dammit… what kind of e sword in his hand and charged forward
