Chapter 44
Sharon no longer carried Lu Chen. She had not yet practiced fighting spirit and could not afford Lu Chen's weight for too long. Now the two of them had hugged each other as Lu Chen imagined, grabbing each other with one hand and "playing" the flying people in the air in the forest, but it was not romantic at all, and there was no feeling of taking advantage.
Although the two of them were extremely close at this moment, the air flow that was scraped in their ears, the slender branches that were crossed from time to time, and the focus points that must be paid attention to at all times, not only did Lu Chen feel no pleasure at all, but also made his whole heart nervous.
Whenever I see some blocking branches, I have to turn my body to protect Sharon. I am very worried that she will be scratched. However, Lu Chen, who has already classified Sharon as a private person, thinks of her perfection, and grits her teeth and endures it. Compared to adding scratches to the artwork, it is still very cost-effective to add some medals on her body.
Of course, Lu Chen's behavior was not useless. At first, Sharon was very unhappy with his act of putting his body in front of him in the air, because it affected her control over the landing point, which was very dangerous. However, when she heard the sound of the branches breaking and noticed that there were several more holes in the other party's clothes and cloth, she fully understood what the other party was doing, and she couldn't help feeling moved. She didn't care so much about her chest when he was pasted and pasted. Instead, she comforted herself in her heart: "Anyway, she has been completely seen by him, and she has also been caught by him twice, and she has slept together. And now she is because she is chased, so it should be nothing. Well, even if he deliberately forgives him once, but this time..."
Lu Chen didn't know what Sharon was thinking, otherwise he might have fallen from the air with joy. So, at this time, he could only continue to act as a shield against whipping, but soon his left eye saw the fire from where he was sleeping, so his mission to whip was over.
After reaching the branch of the next place, Lu Chen stopped Sharon from continuing to play air stunts, carefully searched the original camp with his left eye, and then quietly got down the tree with Sharon.
Although she saw nothing in her left eye and the intensity of the bonfire seemed to be unattended, she was a little afraid that the other party would really keep someone in the original place to guard her. Lu Chen did not plan to go to the camp again and decided to travel overnight with the convenience of her left eye. As for Sharon, who had not had a good rest, she could only feel sorry for staying up late for the time being. As long as she arrived in the big city, she exchanged some money for money and hired a stronger mercenary team. The subsequent journey would be to let her sleep until the academy.

In the forest, Sel's signal was not only seen by his companions and Lu Chen. A shadow that was always traveling under the branches was quickly heading towards the north. Not far behind it, several tall figures broke through the lush trees like surging waves, chasing them all the way.
If someone sees it, they will probably be scared to death. Those who are chasing the shadows like crazy are all fourth- and fifth-level beasts, and they will not understand why these monsters who usually go alone gather together without conflict.
Along the way, the special left eye did not see a single monster. Although I turned out that there were few monsters in this place because there were not even one.
As the saying goes, something abnormal will happen. Lu Chen has already started to sweat coldly. It’s not that he really cares about the appearance of powerful monsters. At most, he is just a waste of scrolls. But if he fights, he will inevitably lead the enemy back, and everything will be irreversible. Moreover, through the signals in the night sky, it has been confirmed that those people are coming for them, and they must be stronger than the previous five.
Sharon felt the trembling from the palm of his hand. When he chose to walk back, Lu Chen also told her some possibilities. At this distance, she could see the fire, so she didn't dare to ask again. She could only hold his hand tightly to show her peace of mind.
Feeling Sharon's feelings, Lu Chen smiled and turned around to show his peace of mind. Then he remembered that she could not see it in the darkness, so he could only respond with a little embarrassedly in the same way, tightening his hands, but then he was surprised to see Alice, the thief bird, flying over from behind and stopped on his shoulder without any discussion.
Lu Chen was scared because he saw it. However, Sharon, who was not mentally prepared, was frightened by the sudden appearance of the black shadow. Even if he covered his mouth with conditioned reflex, it was already half a beat late.
For a moment, the two of them stopped there without moving, and the violent heartbeat that they were afraid of being discovered was clearly heard into each other's ears. Even Alice seemed to understand the situation at this moment, her head was swaying from side to side, as if she was listening to the situation around her.
Time flowed slowly like a sea turtle crawling on the beach. After almost a minute, Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and observed around him for a while before continuing to pull up Sharon's way to sneak cautiously. Although there was nothing unusual around him, it was impossible for anyone to continue waiting for them to reveal their marks because they could not determine their location based on just one sound. Besides, it would be no harm to be careful.
Sell had already returned to the camp and hid in a lush tree. He heard the scream from Sharon clearly, but just as Lu Chen thought, he only confirmed the approximate direction and did not find them hidden in the bushes.
Not everyone has Lu Chen's perverted vision and night vision ability. Sel had to wait patiently for the other party to be exposed again. Otherwise, if he searched rashly with his five-star strength, he would have a high chance of being killed by the other party.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Sel discovered the direction where the sound was coming, and a clump of branches and leaves shook unnaturally under the starlight.
A victory smile appeared on his face, but when he wanted to send a signal again, he hesitated. Considering that if he made a wrong judgment and the signal would also reveal his position, Sel resisted the urge to call his companion and decided to take a small risk alone. After all, he is also a five-star advanced hunter, and it should be more than enough to deal with a six-star who should be seriously injured and a person who is no more than three-star.
After roughly checking the environment, Sel did not immediately rush over to take action, but chose a place where the target was likely to pass and rushed over. As a hunter, setting traps is his strength, and it is also the reason why he dared to take risks alone.
Traps are hard to guard against for laymen, especially the other party is still injured. Not to mention the skill is no longer agile, the most important thing is that the senses have become worse, which is absolutely the most unfavorable for defense and avoiding traps. Moreover, Ser is well aware of the importance of geographical advantages, which will have a great impact on the performance of personal strength. Choosing a venue that is beneficial to oneself is essential in the battle of going upwards and surpassing levels.

Finally, I left a message as a souvenir. It was 150,000 words. It was really not easy.
