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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QM5Zc5rpJ
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VRsf4mRrg
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？」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe5UnCvmfq
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGmU1RZAvz
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。」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsT4J190q7
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoisNoMaF5N
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。」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmIDbgyxIK
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhLrMk8hMB
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！」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOinm02ApzT
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZTFMAogAQ
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？」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvczvaxkif
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXlcaDIrCk
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！」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LJoUhUIyw
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqmauw4woh
露西淡淡地丟下一句：「歪理。我想那個『重』，應該不是指體重吧？」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceTPuLg3GJ
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgSEFVQky0
眾人一陣輕笑，氣氛暫時輕鬆了些。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIRNNdHVEg
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYZKpCoBbH
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBAPzIsOqm
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H9kYuVbgB
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpSO4V3wqY
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOV9MJn8RN
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk3X4lFJVd
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgKuOVvPWj
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A3WlmxmZK
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVi9R4AwfS
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCpg2pbl8l
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfNuwQwYa4
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMgbnBAS8H
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgC2rH0wyW
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkrWfRwhQw
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAvMuuwHGt
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMlPNmjz4t
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWmWGsLHLW
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcidFS1BwMz
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlAXiR8Bip
然而，同時他的感官卻變得異常敏銳，這就讓他很是在意了。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqHyt2xGfo
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzkkcECspA
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi8M6lOsnW
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVPfnBMSXI
最誇張的，還是視覺。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBwD53nqIB
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkB4120Un8
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesBcjACVVG
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvQcWw3keO
正當他暗自驚嘆自己的「升級」時，餘光突然捕捉到異動。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSuAl6Uh8s
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGHizNpvKY
在那座山丘旁，出現了幾個疾速移動的小黑點。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRUHMdKfi3
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGMPs7bBDE
塔庫魯神情一變，立刻低聲將情況匯報給副隊長泰倫斯。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WVXwvYMO2
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMkuvP9nQa
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQwSgeFlZo
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm5c9YU6f3
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrTcGXR1WP
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn40Msl8HH
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgWf41JjJi
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YdI7RCvw1
剛藏妥，隊長夸斯特便匍匐靠近，低聲問道：「發生什麼事？」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmNxWRtlfW
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCobu663YUk
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。」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Kly6PcHpc
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBToMj7Nchm
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。」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxGKHxyrzo
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJV52wyov7
伊莉莎點了點頭，法杖輕輕一揮，口中低吟咒語。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6siLtwRTUD
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o7H9z5yxM
法杖頂端的淡藍光球一閃即逝，隨即沉靜。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuep0yytbz
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoloH7Xpu7
她回以夸斯特一個堅定的眼神——結界已成。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0tKL1BiIf
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUX7GQ1lJR
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgIXeP4QTq
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM7jvjef24
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1hgI9W9NS
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKF8TTPau5
他看見了——57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmUJkPPQGr
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSXbrvSuZH
那畫面醜陋而震撼，令人難以忘懷。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiiG1v6BEA
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkNI6suDP7
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor0Y6n5Hcv
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiFTCFENzw
來不及細說，塔庫魯俐落地在地面沙土上劃寫：57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffV7GSDo81
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWJmNIJywy
「四名獸人，各騎一頭巨型斑點鬣狗！」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGRdVe7liT
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkYTPLyLuB
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh5m52o3gY
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItAS7TLdOT
震動愈來愈明顯，彷彿大地本身也在警告——危險正在逼近。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKDbq2rLDm
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYAfLNGdDD
眾人心中一凜——敵人真的來了。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCBQUBhqis
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsovbNsI3CW
但此刻，沒有人再敢冒然探頭。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcJb7gu9rb
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6sOxipWft
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qqHfHQse8
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXcVZCG0lf
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf9bHqhCGH
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcvSqWgMIx
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8gZ2URphF
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFqrBu97g0
情況急轉直下。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRocInk7uRr
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILtFvpHmUL
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh1prSyKq0
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pOqnLcDWe
夸斯特與泰倫斯對視一眼，兩位久經沙場的老兵都明白：57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEcLqIKqxa
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIeP3Rs6II
——坐以待斃，死路一條。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvD5iwucj1
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0UCfpIg7i
——唯有先發制人，才有一線生機！57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNKSegaTVu
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95rHqFfTfE
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkM8UVpLZI
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5HVapQN9a
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfePdQEl7Fx
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnXuUfyUtA
夸斯特迅速分配攻擊目標，同時，獸人間也開始交談。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSEuLszZ8A
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwctANzq5b
他們用的，是獸人語。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTBOQXc5Ui
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmqWZOrkJ3
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYKjOcu3p5
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S35lhoyhR
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfu8sCndsL
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyKsxmjV86
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeSOky4iZA
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSC4nvQAXR
「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！」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ycym4ftMA
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJNQpFeUXX
「神巫年紀大了，會不會判斷錯誤？」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3RZ6nEgiN
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q9MqSXS57
「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！」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qm88kS24Z
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS69TPiJ9Y
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：57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz68xxlb36x
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuL7ThsD7j
「除非——他們就藏在這附近。」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZLWrgPzZi
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKKT6FVwZV
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……
