"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness?"

Bai Xuan suddenly woke up and looked at a determined face in front of him. The other party was looking over with concern.

His guard captain, also the nominal leader of the Demon Hunting Group, Carres Dunn, was tall and strong. He had just broken through the temple at the age of twenty-five and became one of the youngest temple warriors in the kingdom, and was sent by the old king to him.

"Where are we?" Bai Xuan rubbed his face and jumped off the horse.

"It's already three hundred steps away from that valley. I just stopped the team to rest." Carres replied.

He looked at His Highness the Prince and always felt that some changes had occurred in the prince, but it was difficult for him to determine where the changes were.

In addition to the changes in clothing, it seems to be stronger than before? The temperament is also sharper?

Anyway, it's not easy to describe.

As a support force, after learning that Bai Xuan was missing in the Black Curse Forest, he rushed to the battlefield as soon as possible. The mixed orc caravan had long disappeared, leaving only dozens of corpses.

After dealing with the battlefield, he ordered the guards to search around for a day and a night, but found nothing. Just when he felt despair, His Highness the Prince came back by himself.

He also brought back a coma-unconscious extreme elf.

What happened in the middle? His Highness Bai Xuan didn't say it, and Carres didn't dare to ask, but looking at His Highness's eyes, he seemed to be able to understand something.

"Calculate the distance according to the conversion method I told you before departure. From now on, how many kilometers will be used?" Bai Xuan found it difficult to adapt to the unit of measurement in this continent.

It must be done as he is familiar with, at least under his rule.

"Well... more than twenty kilometers, about ten kilometers away from Ember City." Carres replied.

"You just wanted to tell me why you stopped?"

"Yes, Your Highness, the guard scout found some traces of strange beasts in front of me, so I dare not trade in..."

"Isn't it normal to have traces of strange beasts in the Black Curse Forest?" Bai Xuan frowned. He had begun to integrate into this new identity. Speaking of which, commanding these people was actually similar to what he had done before.

But there are no hot weapons in it, and tactics need to be adjusted and adapted.

There were only fifty guards brought from the capital, twenty of whom remained in the Ashes City, and the other thirty were all here.

"Your Highness, what the scouts discovered was the traces left by the large alien beast. If it was moving around, if we met it, the situation would become very bad." Carres explained.

Hunting alien beasts is not easy, because alien beasts generally become very powerful and more cunning because of their mutations. On the outer edge of the Black Curse Forest, the number of alien beasts is smaller, and the deeper they go, the more they go. The range of activities of large alien beasts rarely involves the periphery, but their current location is obviously on the periphery.

This situation rarely occurs. Although Bai Xuan and Carres have not been in the Black Curse Forest for a long time, this does not mean that they have not done enough homework.

Bai Xuan was preparing to come to Yuchen City to garrison, so they carefully studied everything about the Black Curse Forest, including the preparations for the hunting group, and also absorbed some hunters from the Chalk Kingdom nearby.

Large beasts have huge shapes and amazing destructive power. They often have mutated skills. Only large hunting groups will have their ideas. If the hunt is successful, the rewards will be quite amazing.

It is said that there are also giant alien beasts that are moving in the deepest part of hundreds of kilometers of the Black Curse Forest.

The most convincing statement about the formation of strange beasts is that they have mutated due to the influence of magical energy.

The entire Black Curse Forest is a huge area that is corroded by magic energy. As for where the magic energy comes from, most people attribute it to the underground magic crystal mine.

"You have done a good job, order the guard to prepare for defense, notify the scouts to be dispersed, and immediately report the situation to the rescue." Bai Xuan responded with praise to the captain of the guards.

"Yes, Your Highness." Carres bowed and retreated.

The place to rest is a small hill with a great view. Bai Xuanning looked away for a moment, but found nothing suspicious.

He turned his head and looked at Luo Shen, who was wrapped in animal skins and blankets. Her face was still pale, but she was breathing evenly. This was a sign of losing strength and it seemed that she was not seriously injured.

Perhaps it is because of overdrawing the superpowers and the coma caused by backlash, and only when the body recovers slowly.

Bai Xuan looked at her long eyelashes, pointed ears, and her extremely delicate face. She was a little dazed for a moment until a whistle from a distance pulled him back to reality.

The soldiers of the guards around immediately began to make a defensive posture, and Carres ran over from a distance: "Your Highness, the scout has discovered the traces of the strange beast!"

Carres felt a little strange. His Royal Highness, the prince had never asked the guard command before, but now he began to instruct him to dispatch the team. The key is that these orders are very well organized, which made him unconsciously ask Bai Xuan for instructions on everything.

“How far is it from here?”

"About two kilometers, it seemed to have collided with a small hunting group, and we can take this opportunity to pass quickly."

Bai Xuan turned his gaze to the distance and stood up.

"No, leave ten guards here to protect the elves, and the rest follow me."

"Your Highness, are you going to rescue them?"

"I want to go over and take a look."

The captain of the guard's proposal is quite safe, but Bai Xuan's current idea is different. If he wants to station in the Ashes City, he needs to get familiar with this vast magic forest faster.

Large strange beasts can't be encountered casually, he must go over and take a look.

Maybe there will be additional gains.

Carres looked puzzled. He had never seen the large strange beast with his own eyes, but the danger was undoubtedly very high. He had to guarantee the safety of His Royal Highness, so this was not a good decision.

"Your Highness, why not take someone to see me, you don't have to take risks in person." As a temple warrior, Carres is loyal to the royal family and is steady, and will definitely defend his duties to the death.

"Don't worry, I won't get too close. Just look from a distance. You have to know that there are not many opportunities like this."

"But your Highness..." Carres wanted to dissuade him.

"No need to say more, do what I said." Bai Xuan's eyes condensed, and the majesty of the superior was revealed in an instant.

"yes!"

Once he accepted the order, Carres was very decisive and quickly selected ten guard soldiers to stay.

The loyalty and ability of the guard soldiers are absolutely trustworthy. After all, this is Bai Xuan’s personal bodyguard, so you can rest assured that Luo Shen’s safety is temporarily. He can also come back as soon as possible when he encounters danger.

Next, Carres was in front and Bai Xuan was behind. Ten guards guarded the two of them and began to march southwest. They crossed about one kilometer of sparse vegetation in the middle and entered the tall and dense jungle.

The types of trees in the Black Curse Forest are actually very strange, such as shrubs, deciduous trees, vines, and even trees similar to tropical rainforests. Bai Xuan cannot call it a name at all. It seems that the ecology of this place has little to do with the natural environment.

It is impossible to judge what kind of forest plants will grow here by common sense.

The two scouts rushed over and reported that the target was not far ahead.

"What kind of strange beast is it?"

The scout was panting, his lips trembling. Before he could speak, a muffled sound suddenly came from the bush ahead, and the earth was trembling, dong dong dong, like a drum beat.

"roar!"
