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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcqv9m5tTF

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？」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7dA1uXHcN
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmywA0OfU5
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。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqYYrJ9SqE
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyvJK0x1pZ
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。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3dT1MB6UI
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTRCYV4WcB
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！」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fVhQekzSo
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGXa2j4Pgq
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？」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviOw70sgsV
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9jl7era9A
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！」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvPTWdhxUC
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFYoRmBb1S
露西淡淡地丟下一句：「歪理。我想那個『重』，應該不是指體重吧？」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP1NfyMTpB
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3V5a4yzP0
眾人一陣輕笑，氣氛暫時輕鬆了些。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46p2bztpuw
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9Q4faALID
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6eqUX2yzg
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPmaWJ1YvA
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVTPZDOAXg
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWN1TaLfyG
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAukH2t8hwp
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo6T6NtySn
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6jjoPGEEr
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HCUHoXbtC
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjep4Njl3Xl
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eKtCuVPaQ
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AGTIxNgfU
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWfDrRwbkP
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ041ATroCQB
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJeKcfmy7w
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFWxR6gbzu
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFOBkps8Tt
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam5p4DOxjY
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzjeLwM5ck
然而，同時他的感官卻變得異常敏銳，這就讓他很是在意了。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEaWJAIltt
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaxEHZQwQQ
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0qLrp2OI8
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL3aV6KwRN
最誇張的，還是視覺。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TEjjDp3uA
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmyYTobmCl
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSeqAF9vkd
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpMuBGMOcm
正當他暗自驚嘆自己的「升級」時，餘光突然捕捉到異動。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxoza7SKY2
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2XMTtFiTx
在那座山丘旁，出現了幾個疾速移動的小黑點。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow78e16C1Y
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvam9dacFy
塔庫魯神情一變，立刻低聲將情況匯報給副隊長泰倫斯。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1MJwwIy3Q
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxv8mM6Dz0
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO61ZzrOKv
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszYGmMsH9U
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnvfqFzvlt
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHmGh08iAt
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteqkgI72wk
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKwNkor7Er
剛藏妥，隊長夸斯特便匍匐靠近，低聲問道：「發生什麼事？」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRniC5vDBQo
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNPuzOHfyW
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。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJML5t6MHPT
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpB7mnyfDr
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。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVjP22lSzW
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFFGZWf1xF
伊莉莎點了點頭，法杖輕輕一揮，口中低吟咒語。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExbuhV3Gl5
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h0UwZ0pw7
法杖頂端的淡藍光球一閃即逝，隨即沉靜。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwhqMhkCUj
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOrqNmGv4j
她回以夸斯特一個堅定的眼神——結界已成。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymHXoaF1mD
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmNLFu3DxX
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq5vK6Pp9V
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSppJijFOx
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q908R6U6M
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lwRlwUrcY
他看見了——53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4S9Y1ZIIt
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHGMK4IPoh
那畫面醜陋而震撼，令人難以忘懷。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeOtGQhMqM
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe27rRCb51
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Mtncp8cIl
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlseJIOeOgu
來不及細說，塔庫魯俐落地在地面沙土上劃寫：53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqiHEWEuYO
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ095jgs2jl5
「四名獸人，各騎一頭巨型斑點鬣狗！」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSlKRpuB6V
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqAs0YZmO4
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9liJq8XRjr
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtkDGO2NKE
震動愈來愈明顯，彷彿大地本身也在警告——危險正在逼近。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO22qr43dDX
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMU1bKzS7Z
眾人心中一凜——敵人真的來了。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGNzpCDOfE
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFQN8YKQLU
但此刻，沒有人再敢冒然探頭。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYKmIgwcHN
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQgzC9iJao
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0VSnChrt1
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahEUtiFbaW
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd7yZV49SF
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZMfmoyABz
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJhcltG18R
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NcVhqESWw
情況急轉直下。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUpMjzwRWx
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6hg8fh5TL
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM2orwCGpY
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggwal57xaX
夸斯特與泰倫斯對視一眼，兩位久經沙場的老兵都明白：53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFux5Uy3Th
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnIuWGIwtI
——坐以待斃，死路一條。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg13VxTAkF
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvnMW9pHvM
——唯有先發制人，才有一線生機！53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bVdVPLyyC
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6owo9Jmrd
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDFphUvMGj
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcYU1EBenu
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivjars4Xv0
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hJCysDxuF
夸斯特迅速分配攻擊目標，同時，獸人間也開始交談。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib9q68NmbU
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnKu3orZww
他們用的，是獸人語。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTBNiEob4q
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q4uIpoLoD
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4FNQQYs9m
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUZIBs66Ez
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpBlCU6VxH
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Omkp7Yxoy
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj1qCzwgqs
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QBLfwlonp
「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！」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsETbNW0TR
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AFt0GC9uR
「神巫年紀大了，會不會判斷錯誤？」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ASiBhFUOJ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADMTxAErhE
「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！」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5sEsvxCIF
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIuHUoTVk8
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：53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa6oIgiOPq
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEkBGFEyFR
「除非——他們就藏在這附近。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrid47R41v
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjAb38mbzP
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……
