"What did I dream about?...I dreamed about someone pretending to be Aria and talking to me."
"She also said she was 'the only person in the world who loves me,' which is the second time I've heard her, or whatever, say that to me."
Having said this, Wei Xi'an's expression darkened again.He turned to say the next words in a way that was close to gritting his teeth: "But this time I won't trust her anymore, I already..."
"Wait a minute! So you, like me, heard her nagging in our ears!?"
Ivan Bell realized that Visian seemed to be talking about something she had also experienced. She thought about it carefully and confirmed that the two of them had indeed met the same person while they were in a coma.
"Who is that person? What is her purpose?"
"Did the departing savages also dream of the same scene?"
Mysteries followed one after another, and Alice and the others fell into great confusion, especially Alice. The huge amount of information overwhelmed her mind, making her dizzy and feeling almost like seasickness.And even if she borrowed Xingguang's clever mind, she still couldn't come up with any reasonable explanation...

Chapter 283 Chase (7)
Fatigue quickly swept through everyone present. After a day of tossing, Alice and her party, who were already extremely tired, gave up thinking completely.They were currently chewing dry food that had no taste in their mouths while lying on the ground covered with fur blankets and looking at the top of the tent.
They temporarily commandeered this tent. After all, there were only a few conscious people left in the entire camp. All the barbarians were already heading north. They would pass through the vast coniferous forest and reach the battlefield. center of.
"I really can't think of any ideas..."
Alice said this with sleepy eyes. Although no one responded to her, everyone else basically thought the same thing.The group of them began to keep silent in a tacit understanding, and then one person began to snore gently, then the second and the third, until all four of them closed their eyes and fell asleep.This tumultuous day finally came to an end.
Early the next morning, Alice and her four strangers had to start packing their bags and prepare to continue their journey.Although unexpected events have slowed down their pace, their goals have not actually changed. However, the mystery surrounding "Eva" has become larger after this incident.
After leaving the camp and breaking into the taiga, Alice deliberately slowed down her pace so that she and Ivan Bell were walking on the same line.She said to Ivan Bell: "It seems that there are many people walking this road. Look at these footprints."
Ivan Bell glanced at the ground, nodded and replied, "Yes, these footprints seem to come from different directions."
"I think there may be hundreds of footprints here!"
"Hundreds of people is a bit too exaggerated. I'd say there are no more than forty people here."
"Isn't 40 people too few? Then... eighty! Around eighty should be about right!"
Alice was full of energy and discussed with Ivan Bell how many people had visited this coniferous forest. They each guessed eighty and forty, but unfortunately both guesses came to nothing.There were more footprints extending in the same direction beyond their sight. They finally converged into a long dragon at a certain point, and then continued to spread forward.This long dragon almost spans the entire western part of the continent, as if there was a major migration of the residents of this continent.
In fact, no, there was no reason for them to risk going deep into the center of the battlefield again, let alone how many people inside had just escaped from there not long ago.
remember!This is not a good time to move your family, not by any stretch of the imagination!
"But judging from the direction of the footprints, they are going to the east! Didn't Vician and Caschia both say that there is a war going on there?"
It seemed that Alice had also discovered this suspicion. She was puzzled and her whole face wrinkled up like a bitter melon.Evan Bell on her right held her chin in thought for a moment, and then she answered like this: "Have you ever heard of the 'Queen Bee Effect'?"
"'Queen Bee Effect'? Of course I've heard of it. This is the first thing our college teaches when we learn spiritual magic. But this and...oh! I understand what you mean!"
Alice blinked in understanding, then she lowered her voice and answered mysteriously: "You are saying that these people are all under the spell of the spiritual system, and then they become like worker bees who have no brains and only want to follow the queen bee, right? Bar?"
"I think this is the only reasonable explanation. Otherwise, my whole night of thinking would have been in vain."
"Really or not? Didn't you fall asleep last night!? This is not okay. Your physique is not as good as before. You need to take good care of it, otherwise I won't see the day when you turn back into a human being!"
A look of helplessness appeared on Ivan Bell's face after listening to Alice's words. She found that Alice had become more and more verbose recently, and there was a tendency to move closer to Caschia.
Are they about to welcome another old woman to their team?
This is too scary...
"I'm so good! Even if you let a wild bear appear in front of me now, I can easily knock it down!"
"I can't believe you are so small now... Um, is that a bear?"
Alice stopped, she stretched out a trembling hand and pointed toward the bushes, and within three seconds a large brown object sprang out from it.
"It's - bear - ahhhh!"
"Oops, run!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the wild bear jumped out of the bush and focused its attention on Ivan Bell and Alice. In fact, it was mainly staring at Ivan Bell's butt.Ivan Bell felt a chill on her back, and she subconsciously jumped half a meter high. It was not like she had boasted before that she could "knock down the wild bear easily".
At the same time, when Ivan Bell completed an extremely difficult backflip, Vician and Caschia, who were walking in the front, heard their shouts.They looked at each other in confusion, then turned around and looked behind.
They saw Alice running towards them at high speed, and behind Alice there was a brown bear with claws and teeth.
"Hey, hey, my wound has just healed not long ago!"
"Stop talking and run. Alice, Ivan Bell! Come this way!"
Both Caschia and Vician were startled. Although the brown bear of Xios is not a difficult opponent to deal with, if you see a bear in Nomoft, there is a high chance that There are more bears nearby.
It can also be said that the living environment makes such a huge difference between the two kinds of bears, but in any case, normal people will not have nothing to do to provoke brown bears who hunt in groups, unless you want to take the bones and meat. Together they entered the stomachs of these beasts.
"How come there are more and more of them? How many bears live here!?"
"Is this important? Isn't it important that if we run slower they will bite our asses off!?"
Vician loudly replied to Alice's question, and Alice subconsciously covered her butt when she heard the answer.Just when she unexpectedly touched her butt, something wet touched her.
No need to guess, it is the tongue of a wild bear.
"Ahhh! It's going to bite me!" Alice continued to shout, this time with a cry in her voice.
"Can't we just start fighting?"
"I don't think we should stop in this situation. Once we stop, we will be immediately surrounded by wild bears."
Caschia ruthlessly rejected Ivan Bell's proposal. Ivan Bell sighed, and she could only continue to run forward with her short legs.But on the way to escape, she discovered a surprising fact, that is, she could run faster with four legs than with two.
Therefore, Ivan Bell used the so-called "racial advantage" to surpass everyone all the way, and left without a trace.About ten minutes later, she saw the remaining people appear in her field of vision. She found that there were no signs of pursuers behind them.

Chapter 284 Little Knights (1)
Ivan Bell never thought that this body she disliked had unknown benefits. As she ran wildly, an indescribable sense of excitement hit her brain.It was a wonderful feeling. She could see the scenery around her receding rapidly, and she could hear the shouts of her companions and the roars of wild beasts fading away, as if she was the only one in the world who was "facing the road". "Move forward" people.
After more than ten minutes, she escaped from the encirclement and gradually calmed down, before her companions returned to her panting.Her companions collapsed to the ground one by one, their heads and faces covered with sweat.
"Ha...ha...they, they didn't come after them, right?" Alice asked with great effort.Ivan Bell patted her cheek comfortingly and replied solemnly: "They are no longer chasing after them. You have outrun them."
Alice was immediately relieved by these words. She plopped down on the snow while looking at the sky with fine snow and giggling.
On the side, Vician and Caschia had already stood up. They looked far less tired than Alice. Perhaps most of them were used to the life of being chased around.
After a while, when everyone had completely recovered, they helped each other and continued to follow the footprints on the ground.As they moved forward, the coniferous forest inhabited by bears disappeared at the other end of the ground. Instead, a small abandoned camp appeared in their line of sight.
This is a very small camp, not comparable to the stronghold built by barbarians. However, this stronghold seems to have been established not long ago, but its builder has disappeared.Alice and her entourage walked into the camp, and they found that the bonfire in the open space in the center of the camp was still burning, and an iron pot exuding an alluring aroma hung directly above the bonfire.Looking into the iron pot, there was even half a pot of thick soup left in the pot.
"It seems that there were people here not long ago, but where have they gone now?"
"There are also footprints here, but the footprints are the same as those in the woods. They are too messy and I can't tell how many people there are."
Alice and Ivan Bell each reported what they discovered in different corners.They didn't miss any corner while observing, and even walked into nearby tents to take a closer look.Unfortunately, they didn't find anyone suspicious in this camp.
Where have all the people in the camp gone?Could they be heading east as well?
This is a very serious problem, and it is also a problem that Alice and the others cannot solve at this stage.
"But this soup is quite fragrant. How about we cook this tonight?"
Suddenly, Wei Xi'an said this.Alice watched as he put his face next to the iron pot, picked up the spoon on the side and stirred in the iron pot.But before Weisian could say the next word, a pebble flew out from the side and hit his eyes in a straight line.
"Who!"
Visian shouted angrily, stretched out his hand to catch the stone and threw it back with all his strength.Within half a second, a small wailing sound came from under the snow.Everyone who heard the sound looked at each other, and then took steps towards it.
Guess what they'll find under the snow?
the answer is……
A bunch of disgraced little brats!One of the eyes has bruises!
"Who are you! Why are you here!"
Before Alice and the others could ask, the tallest of the bunch of brats asked.The child's face was red from the cold, and there were even small icicles on the tip of his nose, but his eyes were sharp and he seemed to be in very good spirits.
However, the other children huddled behind him were not much better. Alice and the four of them used their height advantage to see clearly the other children following him.There were men and women among them, the oldest was only about the same age as Xingguang, while the youngest was only four or five years old.In addition, they were all wearing similar clothes. The clothes were very shabby and not suitable for keeping out the cold at all.
"We are just passing by, but what are you doing here? Where are your parents?" Alice asked.
The leading child was silent for a while, then sniffed and asked: "Why should I tell you! Anyway, anyway, you should leave here quickly, otherwise you will be in trouble when the adults come back!"
"But...it's been so long, I think they will definitely not come back to find us..."
"Shut up, Matthew! Our parents won't just leave like deserters and never return! Besides, my father is a great knight. He will definitely come back here with reinforcements to pick us up!"
"But Arthur, I also don't think they will come back..."
"Me too."
"I also……"
The small camp suddenly became noisy, and the children who had been calm before began to cry one after another, and what made them cry seemed to be related to their missing parents.
"Be good, be good! It's okay, don't cry."
Alice was helpless to comfort the little girl who was crying on her shoulder. She didn't know why this person jumped directly on her. They had just met not long ago!
Next to her, Ivan Bell also suffered the same treatment. A pair of twins with runny noses hugged her and cried loudly, as if she were a comforting stuffed toy. This caused all the down on her body to become... Gooey.
"I have a headache."
Wei Xi'an stood far away at the outermost edge of the chaotic scene. In fact, even if he stood at the center, the children would not have the guts to hold him and cry.But Caschia is different. From the outside, he looks very gentle, so he is surrounded by the most children.He wiped away the tears of these children one by one, and then gave some good words. After he dealt with the children around him, he immediately helped Alice and Ivan Bell get out of their predicament.
It took them more than half an hour to get these children to calm down completely. I won’t go into details about the various troubles that occurred in the process. Just remember one thing: "Speaking of children" Children who are easy to coax are all liars!".
"Okay, can you tell us now? What happened here? When did your family members disappear?"
Wei Xi'an took action personally this time. He stood in front of these little brats, watching them condescendingly while asking for details.
The group of children gathered around and chatted for a while, then pushed the shy boy named Matthew out.Little Matthew took a few breaths, and then answered intermittently...
