At first, Rody wanted to go and find Nedis, but Darke told Rody that Nedis was not in the pub Rody also felt that it would be aard to ave up

The three of them went back to fetch Myka and took her to the Duke’s e, he also knew the relationshi+p between Myka and the Duke of the Tulip Fae fro at thebetween Nicole and Myka inside the Duke’s residence was not as aard as Rody iined it would be Nicole looked tranquil, while Myka was also very cal wo in front of her, she could not help but have a strange feeling

Nicole felt that the woman in front of her looked extreently stick to her cheeks,Theabout Myka was her personality Her beautiful face had a faint quiet look She looked like she would be indifferent to everything around her Nicole’s first thought was: She is such an exceptional person; how could her little brother abandon her so easily?

However, Nicole would not say all that After a sigh, Nicole pulled Myka’s hand as she smiled and said, ”Follow me inside”

Myka glanced at Rody After Rody nodded, she smiled and followed Nicole in

Obviously, Rody only let out his held breath after watching the tomen leave On the other hand, Diane had a complicated expression Froently stepped on the tip of her toes

The three of the the guidance of the two jungle experts, Darke and Diane, the three prepared all their required tools and then rode out of the city

The various roads, large and srounds had already been blockaded by the army but Rody and his two companions were naturally unimpeded on their way there A sround There were three hundred Imperial Guards stationed there Rody ordered for theht Darke and Diane into the hunting ground

The hunting ground was quiet at night As the hunting ground belonged to the Tulip Family for centuries, soround Although they were sied to enable the horses to run quickly However, the three of them slowed down their horses when they entered the forest

When the horseshoes tra sound Rody rode in front while Darke and Diane rode side by side behind hiular formation All three of them were on alert, their hands on their weapons

Occasionally, soht to forage for food were frightened and sprang from the roadside Darke and Diane carefully looked around Their expressions becaot to the lake at the center of the forest

All along the way, it was quiet and peaceful When they arrived at the central lake, they saw reed camps and the fallen trees froe monster killed by Rody

Darke suddenly whispered froht and turned around to look Darke was sitting on his horse with his eyes closed It was as if he was perceiving soorously

His expression became even more serious He i the bag of tools that he had prepared earlier, he slowly approached the carcass of that monster

Rody and Diane also dismounted from their horses and conveniently tied the horses’ reins to the trees beside them They then followed Darke to the lake

Darke suddenly climbed a tree He squatted on the tree trunk and stretched out his hand to touch a tree branch He then brought it to his nose to sniff Later, he juain approached thearea

As the cold wind blew at night, Darke looked serious as if he had noticed so around also knotted her eyebrows

Rody asked, ”Did you find anything?”

Darke took a deep breath He then turned around and replied, ”There is soe…” He then looked at Diane and asked, ”Did you notice it as well?”

Diane nodded and slowly said, ”The trees here are strange Did you notice? All the trees near the lake are tall and sturdy They grew excellently! This is very strange Based on cole, the places ater sources would be infested with anietation here should quite often be trampled by animals, but if you were to look around, there are very few aniht for a moment and replied, ”That see yesterday, we only found some prey on the outer parts of the forest The further we ventured into the forest, the less prey there were Towards the end, those wild boars we hunted were also found at the edge of the forest We actually drove the them It seems like really very few animals appeared at the lake”

Darke nodded and said, ”That is the strange part Generally speaking, water sources would usually have animals around, unless these animals like to divide their territories This is especially true if the anie creature here and has marked this place as its territory and does not let other animals approach”

Rody shook his head and replied, ”Not possible… This round At er size animals, like wild boars There are no powerful creatures This is a hunting ground for nobles If there are such creatures, the nobles will get hurt”

Diane suddenly said, ”Listen!”

”Hm?” Rody froze for a lance and replied, ”There is no sound! That is why it is strange!”

Darke softly agreed, ”That's right! This is such a large forest, yet, not even the sound of birds could be heard” He shook his head and continued, ”I have looked at a few trees There is no bird’s nest or even any animal tracks”

The two people’s words made Rody aware He remembered when he was in the Southern ht He also re, other than the chirping of the birds on the outside of the forest, the lake was co the daytime — not even a bird call

”Rody… Yesterday, did anybody get on the tree to check?” Darke suddenly asked

”No, why?”

Darke gloomily replied ”There are footprints on the branches!”

Rody’s face discolored and frowned, ”Footprints?”
