荒野上騎乘著類似斑點鬣狗之巨獸的獸人，快速的奔馳過來，聲勢相當驚人。
正午的陽光炙烤著一望無際的草原，隊伍穩步前行，腳下青草隨風搖曳。這是他們穿越天門的第四天，永夜森林的幽暗已被拋在身後，但前方未知的兇險卻讓人不敢鬆懈。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBUhqtFuCV

走著走著，蓋達忍不住抱怨起來：「那位女王真小氣……她們應該有馬吧？送我們八匹馬，不是更快、更省力，也更容易完成任務嗎？」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxO8hOiomd
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkuD48k0zo
走在他前方的露西回頭狠狠瞪了他一眼，冷冷地說：「你這個懶人就知道想輕鬆。女王既然沒開口，自有她的考量，別妄自揣測。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpajmXjsP8q
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmX3HgkQEF
艾利歐特在旁邊笑著補充道：「據我所知，天神族所騎乘的，是獨角白馬。那東西太醒目了，要是我們騎上，西方魔王的探子只需遠遠一看，立刻能判斷出我們接受了永夜女王的援助。到時候，魔王便能堂而皇之地派兵圍剿我們。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7npbh1532
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdXCeZeN7Y
蓋達聽了皺眉，想了想，便露出一口白牙笑道：「嗯……有道理！這麼一說，我就服了！」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox5f5BsMXn
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1AS1Nez4J
派緹走在右側，忍不住笑道：「不過，以你跟塔庫魯那麼魁梧的體型，我倒懷疑獨角白馬撐不撐得住呢？」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tnNPu7KGz
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBUxfgv8Qr
蓋達哈哈大笑：「妳說得對！男人不重則不威，這身材可是力量的象徵！」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0MPo3O8Ie
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfZcrD2TBA
露西淡淡地丟下一句：「歪理。我想那個『重』，應該不是指體重吧？」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNJXoj5K9l
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3Ya5XGukH
眾人一陣輕笑，氣氛暫時輕鬆了些。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwFTmgeGiq
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MqZiux7qM
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbkZ3beMMP
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKbHrE1Yfd
自離開永夜森林後，塔庫魯變得沉默寡言，眼中似乎藏著說不清的心事。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNumDbKHS2
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViR6vZFI68
那團金色光芒自女王親手按入他胸口後，似乎打亂了他體內原本的節奏。最明顯的改變，是他左臂上潛藏的光幕與輔助主機系統，再次陷入無聲無息的沉寂。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFOchfxr1p
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqFhPC1WCX
當時，當他剛從地球穿越到這片魔幻大陸時，這套系統雖然一開始時也是失靈的，卻至少還會顯示個倒數計時，提醒他尚存於某種規則之內，有個期望或是希望存在著。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrczWUnf7d
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OWS1d70Jw
而現在，每次他觸碰左臂，光幕雖亮起，除了一陣白光亮在那邊，竟是連一行提示都沒有——如同一具失了魂的空殼。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9LCpNk4SL
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoVQ1EOwNV
他甚至懷疑，下一刻是否會跳出地球人熟悉的藍底白字錯誤畫面。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoo0bhGWeS
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0w8qx6kzM
算了，他也沒多大期待這個主機系統能幫些什麼忙，以先前他在這個魔幻世界的經歷，全都是靠著這副身軀的強悍實力和自己在地球受過的紮實訓練來一一過關的，沒有主機的幫助，他多看、多聽，一些魔幻世界的訊息也總是能明白的。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCymJIQ1Nt
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kiIvZICZW
所以主機看起是當機了，他也僅僅覺得好像一個玩具壞掉了一樣，不是太過覺得可惜。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGwzL9H6Dq
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIqZP0T40M
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKMv7zlBx6
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrumGNuiS9B
然而，同時他的感官卻變得異常敏銳，這就讓他很是在意了。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG4Vd236FO
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oIPuA0cNb
嗅覺靈敏到可怕，短短幾個小時內，他竟能辨別腳下泥土裡殘留的各種魔獸排泄氣息，濃烈到讓他險些作嘔；聽覺也異於常人，能清晰捕捉草叢間微不可聞的蟲鳴，密密麻麻，像是一場昆蟲版的交響樂會即將奏起。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SzOsoojqo
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4YyvmTPx2
最誇張的，還是視覺。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyGqs7ADQK
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSL8l6EbzW
他的眼睛不僅能清晰看見近處地形，甚至能望見數公里外的景象。地平線左方，一座酷似鷹鉤鼻的詭異山丘清晰在目；右方則是一條蜿蜒的大河，沿著草原蜿蜒向遠方山勢流去。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yXPqjy0mE
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tV1rGiNbK
正當他暗自驚嘆自己的「升級」時，餘光突然捕捉到異動。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolAynvsOWt
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XJWtztfNQ
在那座山丘旁，出現了幾個疾速移動的小黑點。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUmjfaFW5k
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNkl94DkC5
塔庫魯神情一變，立刻低聲將情況匯報給副隊長泰倫斯。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rRBL72AZB
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jbj7XWPY0
泰倫斯踮起腳尖，朝遠方眺望，但他的視力終究不及塔庫魯。不過這幾日並肩作戰，他已對塔庫魯的判斷建立了十足的信任，當即不假思索地選擇相信。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnbZFcG01p
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fJ57ZDpsD
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWCD5ylow3
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qWk1ZSNrv
不遠處，一處亂石堆隱於草叢中。他立刻打了個手勢，示意所有人跟上，迅速潛伏到石堆後方。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq0kFjlHNd
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LfgnHwry6
剛藏妥，隊長夸斯特便匍匐靠近，低聲問道：「發生什麼事？」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42533yJy1z
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtHatjFwZV
泰倫斯簡短回應：「塔庫魯發現正前方有幾個高速接近的黑點，懷疑是魔獸。這一帶只有這處亂石堆可藏，暫時隱蔽觀察。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cpqW2j2uj
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshFvp3Zhdg
夸斯特沉吟片刻，回頭望向伊莉莎公主，低聲道：「擔心魔獸能嗅到我們氣息。還請公主施法，屏蔽我們。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMDHOs3jsR
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgIs1iqmhz
伊莉莎點了點頭，法杖輕輕一揮，口中低吟咒語。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuujS7mAkn
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUxUiV7Vtc
法杖頂端的淡藍光球一閃即逝，隨即沉靜。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnPhCGtRLE
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYMujlprpM
她回以夸斯特一個堅定的眼神——結界已成。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCODfFJ4Gmz
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JQ7QzqkQ4
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfHkDODwJT
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswEeiUj8tD
此時，地面尚未感覺到奔馳震動，但塔庫魯再次探頭觀察，隨即神色驟變，飛快縮回。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmzzqE1i39
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoVNW1ZTWy
他看見了——61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCvueVJ3Kh
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IPt55bZ1L
那畫面醜陋而震撼，令人難以忘懷。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxNTB8wVkN
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfAlNcVEBI
四名獸人騎士，頭顱形狀怪異，各異其趣，騎乘著斑斕花紋、身軀巨大如獵豹放大的怪獸，正以驚人的速度朝他們衝來。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsccSTV3E29
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTPbrPZ1su
來不及細說，塔庫魯俐落地在地面沙土上劃寫：61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxvUXvmtSS
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJRYhXipiP
「四名獸人，各騎一頭巨型斑點鬣狗！」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRdruolz7D
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOOoCRVGCV
最後一字才剛畫完，地面便傳來微弱震動，細沙簌簌滾動，顫抖滲入字跡間。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWn3dDSlWo
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFdJvqa9gW
震動愈來愈明顯，彷彿大地本身也在警告——危險正在逼近。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfJGsFBkYb
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaaIYdU5xU
眾人心中一凜——敵人真的來了。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8FTx5zgDl
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyyhA7q8bt
但此刻，沒有人再敢冒然探頭。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3xeINQY1G
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0JIFkx2Ug
所有人清楚，獸人的視力驚人，任何一絲破綻，都將招致災難性的後果。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybmERHkNtV
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3HV3rhAd7
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekwFfFmfJV
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDBQWbrbPT
令人心驚的是，那四名獸人騎兵竟然直奔他們藏身的亂石堆，在前方十數步外驟然停下。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6otxTRRwvJ
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlFOm7jPOF
情況急轉直下。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8hR8YMa4d
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILUt17k0QP
草原空曠，唯有這堆亂石最為醒目。他們選擇靠近這裡，幾乎是本能。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlxGqe6wTl
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPrtYTFIEA
夸斯特與泰倫斯對視一眼，兩位久經沙場的老兵都明白：61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqANLm329AL
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbDA0RNzXL
——坐以待斃，死路一條。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpMJxZrYYw
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVUQhWYDv8
——唯有先發制人，才有一線生機！61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnOybfZCFH
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulkZ5HpILU
雖然對手僅有四名獸人，但連坐騎也是兇猛的怪獸，任何一絲大意都將付出慘痛代價。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwK9OeIVpY
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6L4t9HGiu
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhhDMegIQy
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmtPRVh91Z
夸斯特迅速分配攻擊目標，同時，獸人間也開始交談。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEFgOFYRzJ
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuXvNdDqvA
他們用的，是獸人語。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf00LhR0hnZ
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6olJv0ht7o
現場能聽懂的，除了塔庫魯，便是派緹。但即使是派緹，也只能勉強理解一半，畢竟各族獸人語言早已有所差異。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdS2BssVU2
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JLgIvq3W4
至於塔庫魯，以往還能仰賴左臂光幕內的主機來做點翻譯，但如今系統死機，他只能全憑自己的耳朵捕捉斷續對話。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwSSLJHtFF
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraa14atchZ
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jfGzWZ1w4
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweXBkRFJqE
「神巫不是說，永夜森林那邊有靈力波動嗎？應該是有人從那裡出來，才叫我們來探查，結果到這裡半個人影都沒看到！」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4ZnU5TNCn
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmko4J80vXk
「神巫年紀大了，會不會判斷錯誤？」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIFjwBqmpi
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFNFe7gaRU
「別亂講！神巫可是連西方魔王都尊敬的存在。她說有人類出現，就一定是有！」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm95Rvf8Jqy
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIiAy1jvbn
短暫的停頓後，隊長級的獸人緩緩補上一句，聲音低沉而警覺：61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqSbGeu1qp
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgdtwyWHTP
「除非——他們就藏在這附近。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm8f5imLSB
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqIfF9Vu9o
塔庫魯屏住呼吸，他確信那雙兇殘的獸瞳，此刻正死死盯著他們躲藏的這堆亂石……
