Erin's Tears (4)
While brute force could be used to break through, that would take time, enough time for the Magic Creature to surround Ronald.
This damned situation also directly led to Ronald not having enough food, forcing him to eat wild animals instead of cooking them with fire.
Eating this terrible food for a long time has made his skin less smooth and delicate than it used to be.
By the Goddess of Holy Light.
When has Ronald ever suffered such injustice?
He vowed that he would cleanse all the Magic Creature from now on, for such filthy and vile creatures did not deserve to live in this world.
In comparison, the girl next to him was in a much more disheveled state.
This girl has a face that looks very similar to Aili's; they're practically identical.
However, unlike her sister, she didn't tie her hair into pigtails; her dark brown long hair simply fell naturally down her back. Compared to her sister's lively personality, Eileen appeared somewhat shy.
At this moment, Eileen's long hair was a messy tangled mess, resembling a bird's nest.
The thief's leather armor he wore hadn't been cleaned in a long time, with rough, frayed edges.
Looking at the slices of meat Ronald handed her, carefully cut with a dagger to a uniform size, thickness, and shape, and even cleaned of blood with water magic, Eileen shook her head slightly. "Sorry, I have no appetite."
"Beautiful lady, I know... such terrible food is a desecration to your delicate lips and white teeth." Ronald's voice was like that of a bard, with a special magnetism and curves.
"But we don't have any other options now."
"We need to replenish our strength in any case. We don't know how long we'll be stuck here, and we'll be in danger if we run out of energy."
"I'm so sorry that you've ended up in this situation because of me," Ronald said sincerely.
He had a good impression of most of the members of the Hero's Party.
The innocent and pure Rosweisse, the exceptionally intelligent Athena, the noble and proud Sylph... these three women perfectly match Ronald's aesthetic... mainly in terms of temperament.
Although Eileen and Aili lacked elegance, their girlish innocence and cuteness had their own unique charm.
He hated the Muse, Karthus, Benson... and Ekaterina.
In Ronald's eyes, these four men were nothing short of brutal gorillas.
Eileen hesitated for a moment, but ultimately took the slice of meat and put it in her small mouth, chewing slowly. "I didn't mean to blame you, Ronald."
"I'm worried about something else."
"What's up?"
"Just now, Rosweisse sent me a message that the Hero's Party has gained eight new members," Eileen said.
Ronald's delicate fingers suddenly trembled, causing the meat slices to deviate from their intended cut, becoming uneven in size and thickness.
This scene seemed to have completely enraged Ronald. His hands trembled uncontrollably, and his handsome face was contorted in pain... A few seconds later, Ronald suddenly stood up violently, throwing the knife and pieces of meat in his hand to the ground. He hissed in a low voice, "Damn it, what's going on?"
"Who allowed others to join without our consent?"
He disliked Ekaterina rough-around-the-edges friends, but he also considered them his companions because they were all chosen by Jello.
He will agree with anyone whom Jello agrees with.
But no one else can defile the sacred place in Ronald's heart.
"It's those four old geezers, Wadsworth and Augustus..."
"What are Rosweisse and the others doing? Why aren't they objecting?" Ronald was still irritable, and he was almost losing his composure as a young nobleman.
Ronald felt extremely irritated just thinking about their amusement park being filled with such a bunch of inexplicable people.
"Rosweisse said she has been very strongly opposed to it, and is even close to breaking ties with Augustus ..." Eileen said, shaking her head.
"However, those old men brought up the matter of Karthus. Karthus had been swallowed by darkness, completely corrupted, and executed, becoming an indelible stain on the Hero's Party."
"That old man attacked the Hero's Party based on this point, which means that the team is no longer trustworthy and new members are needed to protect the safety of the Second-Generation Hero Qin Chu."
"Karthus went berserk, killing thousands of Knights and hundreds of nobles. He also attacked the Hero twice. Augustus and his men even threatened to strip all of us of our Hero's Party membership if we didn't agree... Rosweisse had no choice but to agree."
Ronald's slender fingers clenched tightly, his body trembled, and his face was flushed.
"That wretched Augustus..."
"That despicable Qin Chu!"
This matter actually had little to do with Qin Chu, but Ronald hated Qin Chu along with him. After all, in his eyes, none of this would have happened without Qin Chu... However, without Qin Chu, Jello would have no hope of being resurrected.
This contradiction made Ronald feel particularly bad.
After a long while, Ronald finally calmed down a bit. "Who are these new people?"
"There are four: representatives from Sage Mountain, the Holy Church, the Earth Mother Church, and the Royal Family; and four: women from Qin Chu..."
That next sentence immediately enraged Ronald again.
"That damned bastard, what does he take the Hero's Party for? His harem? How dare he add those filthy and ugly women in here."
If he weren't trapped here, Ronald would have loved to rush up to Qin Chu and tear that guy's face to shreds.
"And there's another piece of bad news..." Eileen added, "The Hero's Party has been newly formed, and with so many terrible things happening on the human side lately, we need a victory to boost morale."
"After discussing it, those old folks decided to launch the Hero's first expedition, and the members of the Hero's Party would naturally have to go... which means that Rosweisse and the others won't be able to come and help us."
Eileen's voice was clear and crisp, yet tinged with suppressed emotion. "We have to find a way to escape from here ourselves."
After a pause, Eileen stuffed the remaining slices of meat into her mouth, glancing at Ronald with her orange eyes. "Alright, we should probably get out of here soon..."
They cannot stay in one place for too long. Magic Creature have an extremely keen sense of smell, and if they stay in one place for too long, they will soon be discovered by the Magic Creature.
They haven't had a proper rest in a long time and are extremely exhausted.
Ronald knew that getting angry now was useless, but he was already prepared to find an opportunity to teach that damned Qin Chu a lesson once he left... After all, he couldn't beat the likes of Augustus and Saint Monica.
However, dealing with Qin Chu should not be a problem.
Even if we can't kill Qin Chu directly, we should at least be able to castrate that idiot whose mind is only on women, right?
He carefully covered up the traces left on the ground.
Standing on the treetop, Eileen could see a great distance, and she could often see Magic Creature flying across the sky.
A huge circle of Magic Creature appeared around his location, completely surrounding the area.
Eileen wasn't afraid; similar situations had occurred many times before.
The Magic Creature could only determine their approximate location; as long as Eileen and Ronald remained invisible, they couldn't pinpoint their exact coordinates.
A large number of Magic Creature will enter this area to search, and Eileen and Ronald will take the opportunity to escape the encirclement, since no matter how tight the encirclement is, there will always be some gaps.
The same plot as before even made Eileen feel a little bored.
She was just about to go down and disappear with Ronald when she suddenly realized that this time the situation seemed a little different.
The large tree beneath them seemed to be trembling slightly.
The ground seemed to be bearing a tremendous impact. Eileen frowned and looked into the distance. Soon, her expression changed.
She saw a towering figure, as tall as a mountain, its massive body, tens of meters high, even more exaggerated than the tallest tree in the forest. With each movement, the ground beneath it trembled violently.
That's... Ramon.
The culprit who trapped them here.
Eileen had a vague sense of unease; this was the first time Ramon had ever appeared in person.
That's not all; there seem to be even more flying Magic Creature in the sky than usual, and their numbers are still increasing.
A series of figures flashed in Eileen's eyes.
It was a kind of Magic Creature called Fire Flamingo. They had ugly bodies and limbs similar to humans, but their heads were completely bird-shaped, and they had a pair of crimson wings growing from their backs.
These Magic Creature aren't particularly strong; their wings can fire flames, with a power similar to a small fireball released by a human mage.
They are not very fast, and their sense of smell is not very keen.
Why bring so many Fire Flamingo?
Eileen was momentarily unable to understand Ramon's decision.
But soon, Eileen's body trembled violently, and her face began to turn pale.
The clever girl seemed to remember something, and the next second she suddenly fell from the treetop, quickly went to Ronald's side and grabbed Ronald's wrist.
Ronald was still a little confused and didn't understand what was going on.
"Damn it, that guy Ramon... he's planning to set the mountain on fire."
Eileen spoke anxiously, uttering a few words.
These few words caused Ronald's expression to change drastically.
Without time to think, Eileen immediately led Ronald away, disappearing from sight. "We must leave here immediately, or we'll be in trouble..."
On the other side, Ramon wore a twisted smile as he watched the ever-increasing number of Fire Flamingo in the sky, his eyes filled with ferocity and madness.
The suggestion from that mysterious person was quite good... After Candice left, the more Ramon thought about it, the more he felt that the plan was brilliant.
Of course, that's what he actually thought too, but the mysterious person brought it up first, which doesn't mean he's any less intelligent than that mysterious person.
Twin Thieves Eileen and noble swordsman Ronald, your end is nigh.
His gaze swept across the sky, where tens of thousands of Fire Flamingo filled the air, and around the jungle, there were countless Three-Headed Hound.
Ramon raised one arm high, his eyes seemingly burning with intense heat.
"Burn, burn..."
With a roar, Ramon's arm slammed down.
In an instant, tens of thousands of Three-Headed Hound simultaneously raised one head and opened their blood-red maws.
The next second, scorching flames simultaneously spewed from the Three-Headed Hound's mouth.
A huge ring of fire suddenly appeared around the dense forest, the flames instantly expanding to a height of more than ten meters, completely sealing off the area.
The decaying leaves and withered branches on the ground were ignited almost simultaneously.
The fire burned brighter and brighter.
Immediately afterwards, the Three-Headed Hound raised its other head and spewed out a raging gust of wind.
In an instant, the blazing sea of fire swept forward like a tsunami, its crimson color dispelling the darkness of the Demonic Beast Territory, and the whole world was illuminated by a bright red glow.
Thick black smoke billowed in the sky, obscuring the sun.
The flames surged higher and higher.
The crackling sounds of burning blended together. In this jungle, countless animals had been reduced to charred remains amidst their desperate cries. Ramon believed that Ronald and Eileen would meet the same fate.
On the other side, a vast swarm of Fire Flamingo also enveloped the jungle, spreading their wings and unleashing a barrage of fireballs that rained down upon the forest.
Chapter Three is here. Many thanks to Scarecrowzl and Lou Shiyi for the 500 coins reward, thank you for your support.
Chapter 199 Eileen's Tears (4)
The flames released by Fire Flamingo are not very powerful, only equivalent to small fireballs.
However, when tens of thousands of Fire Flamingo release their flames at the same time, the power becomes extremely exaggerated in an instant. In a flash, flames fall from the sky like raindrops, almost engulfing every corner of the forest.
The scene was like Meteor Shower, filled with an extraordinary beauty.
Yet within this beauty lies a chilling terror.
Flames fall onto tree trunks, branches, leaves, and the ground. If it were just a small cluster of flames, it would be difficult to ignite these damp leaves. However, when a dense cluster of flames falls simultaneously, the moisture is evaporated in the shortest amount of time.
Then, fallen leaves and dry branches quickly become the best fuel, and with crackling sounds, flames quickly rise up inside the encirclement.
Thick black smoke billowed in the sky, obscuring everything like dark clouds.
The flames brought intense heat, distorting the air and causing the moisture on the tree trunks to evaporate rapidly.
In an instant, the entire jungle was engulfed in flames, completely transformed into a sea of fire.
A wave of heat swept over him, ruffling the mane on Ramon's body, and crimson flames danced in his large eyes.
His face was filled with intense excitement.
Burn it, burn it!
This raging fire could help him achieve a great victory!
