Darkening Guardian Knight

By the way, why can I see Jessica's face?

And what happened to the jungle in the background?

Is Jessica taking care of herself?

Or did he really die?Suddenly, a series of questions emerged in Carter's mind.So he tried to move his arm to touch the girl's cheek.

Although it was a bit difficult, Carter finally raised his arm and touched the girl's cheek kindly and gently.

Soft and warm.Feeling the girl's warmth, Carter felt a sense of peace in his heart.

Well, it's real, it's not a dream.

After confirming the girl's safety and his own survival, Carter couldn't help thinking of Uncle Carl.Since he didn't die from Hei Xue, maybe Uncle Carl is still alive?

But now he really doesn't have the strength to go back to investigate. He has already exhausted his physical strength in the black snow, and now it is difficult for him to even walk.

Carter touched Jessica's small face, and couldn't help but smile: No matter what, as long as she can survive.

Carter's touch seemed to disturb Jessica, and the girl's eyelashes moved slightly, as if to open her eyes.

When Carter saw those big talking blue eyes again, his heart couldn't be more touched.

He just thinks that everything is worth it, even if he dies now, he can rest in peace.

The girl didn't know the moving emotions in the boy's heart. When she saw Carter finally woke up, she was also very excited: "Carter, you finally woke up!"

"Well, miss, are you okay?" Carter was still a little worried about his miss, so he asked again.

"Well, I have no problem at all. But Carter, are you okay? You have a hole in your stomach." Jessica asked with concern.

Carter knew that his situation was not good, but in order not to worry Jessica, he still forced a smile and said:

"It's okay, this little injury is nothing to the knight. By the way, you brought me here, Miss?"

Carter pointed to the jungle road.

"Yeah, I have spent a lot of effort to move you here." After hearing Carter's answer, Jessica finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said proudly.

But when she thought of Carter pressing herself firmly under her body when she just woke up, her little face couldn't help but feel a little hot.Although she really wanted to ask Carter the reason, she was still too embarrassed to ask.

So for a while the two fell into silence.

After a brief silence, she finally asked the sad question: "What about the rest of our family, Carter?"

"..." Carter's eyes flickered, his face was sad, "All--dead in battle. There are no other survivors within the Ravinas mansion."

"So, even father!?"

Carter didn't speak, just snorted softly.This is Jessica's guess by default.

Jessica's face turned pale in an instant, although she had already guessed a little bit about Carter's appearance.

But when it was confirmed in Carter's mouth, the sad feelings could no longer be suppressed.

But she didn't cry in the end, she just gritted her silver teeth and asked angrily: "Who is it? Is it a big shot in Doviralt?"

"It's almost like that." Carter knew that with Jessica's ice and snow intelligence, he must have guessed it. "The Ravinas family was probably involved in the infighting between the Duke's third son and the eldest son unfortunately, and became victims of the struggle."

"Ah, that's right..." Jessica let out a sigh of relief.

Carter looked at Jessica with some concern. He was afraid that the girl would be hit by the cruel reality and do something stupid.If that was the case, he would try his best to keep Jessica from being stupid.

Jessica knew Carter's worry from looking at Carter's face.

So after taking a long breath, she smiled at Carter and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything that has no chance of winning. Although I really want to avenge my father and the others, we must first ensure our own safety."

"I'm really relieved that you think so, miss." Carter propped his arms on the ground, trying to get up.

"Be careful!" Jessica reminded from the side.

Being reminded by Jessica, Carter suddenly felt weak, and the hand supporting his body suddenly softened.Without the support of his hands, Carter's body suddenly fell down.

But he didn't fall to the ground, because Jessica quickly hugged Carter, who was about to fall, in her arms.

"I told you to be careful, Carter." Jessica scolded, using her small body to support Carter's body.

"I'm sorry, Miss, my hands suddenly became inoperable." Carter smiled wryly, knowing that this was a sequela of his overdrawn physical strength.

"Carter, now that the Lavinas family is gone, you don't need to call me Missy, right?" Jessica said, supporting Carter.

"How can I do that? Missy, you will always be Missy in my heart!" Carter quickly replied, "If you hadn't come to save me when I was young, I might have starved to death on the street."

Seeing this, Jessica sighed and said, "With your ability, you won't die even without me."

But she saw that Carter was still indifferent, and if she wanted to make this wood change his mind, she had to use righteousness to pressure him.

So she said: "Carter, you see, the whole country probably knows about the destruction of the Ravinas family by now, and the Principality should also be looking for survivors of the incident.

Of course, the purpose of their search is to eliminate all existences that know the inside story.Don't you think the target is too obvious when you yell one by one? "

Carter is not stupid, after hearing what Jessica said, he also felt that his eldest lady was right.

So he reluctantly nodded and agreed: "Okay, but if I don't call you Miss, what should I call you?"

"You can just call me Jessica." Jessica said without hesitation, with firm conviction in her blue eyes, "From now on, there will be no Miss Lavinas, only the ordinary wandering girl Jessica!"

Seeing that Jessica has such a high awareness, Carter is also relieved.

He thought to himself that if the Patriarch saw that his daughter was so outstanding, he would probably be able to rest in peace under the Nine Springs.

"By the way, miss... ah, no, Jessica, although you are trying to make us as inconspicuous as possible. But Jessica, you are the most powerful person who can attract attention." Carter said to Jessica after he calmed down.

"Huh!?" Jessica completely forgot about the question.

It should be noted that although Jessica is only 12 years old, her beauty is also famous throughout the country.

Because her light golden long hair is so capable of catching people's attention, it is simply the "landmark building" of the Ravinas family.

Only then did the girl realize that she was the one who was most likely to be targeted, and immediately lost her mind: "Then what should I do?"

Carter pondered for a moment, and then he had some calculations in his mind: "Let's do this for now, anyway, there is no one in this jungle. After I recover my strength, I can help you pretend."

"Really, it's all up to you!" Jessica smiled sweetly and said to Carter, "Do you want me to go out and pick some fruit or something? You should really need something that can help you regain your strength, right?"

Carter thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, the jungle is still very dangerous. What should I do if I encounter some wild beast?"

"Woo... Don't look at me like this, I'm also very good!" Seeing that Carter disagreed, Jessica pursed her lips with dissatisfaction on her face.

Yes, as the eldest lady of the original Lavinas family, Jessica has also undergone considerable training.

Although she is not as talented as Carter, she still has the strength of an apprentice knight.

It's just that Carter was still inexplicably worried and worried about letting Jessica explore the jungle alone.

So he glanced casually around, pointed to the green needle-shaped grass under a big tree not far away and said, "Can you help me get that grass here?"

"Of course." The girl was very happy to get Carter's instructions.

She bounced and trot to the side of the tree, pulled up the grass in threes and fives, and then came back and handed it to Carter.

"What's the use of this grass?" Jessica asked innocently.

"This is yarrow, which can stop bleeding and relieve pain." Carter replied, cut off the stem of the grass, and applied a little of the grass liquid that flowed out to the wound on the abdomen. "If this is the case, the emergency treatment will be taken care of."

"Next, let's go." Carter felt that his condition had improved slightly after the hasty treatment, so he stood up forcefully.

Jessica looked at Carter with some concern, and asked, "Carter, are you okay? Why don't you take a rest?"

"It's okay." Carter smiled at Jessica, and staggered towards the depths of the jungle.

Jessica frowned, still worried.But she didn't question anything, just quietly followed behind him, and walked with him towards the depths of the unknown jungle.

Section [-] Encounters in the Jungle

In fact, life in the jungle is quite peaceful.

There are no ferocious beasts, no dangerous, murderous plants.Under Carter's leadership, the two wandered in the jungle as if walking in their own garden, relaxed and freehand.

Of course, the point is to be under Carter's leadership.Otherwise, something dangerous might happen.

Although the two survived safely in the jungle, even Carter felt helpless about the food.

In such a huge jungle, the products should be very rich.But Carter searched and searched, but he could only find poisonous mushrooms, poisonous mushrooms and poisonous mushrooms...

What else can Carter say?

Could this jungle be the principality's poisonous mushroom breeding base?

Anyway, Carter was drunk.But being drunk is one thing, and Carter occasionally picked some poisonous mushrooms that were considered rare in the outside world, intending to use them for other purposes.But the food problem still has to be solved.

I have no choice but to find some wild vegetables to satisfy my hunger.

However, edible wild vegetables seem to be rare items in this jungle. Most of the plants here are poisonous, and only a few wild vegetables are edible.

Carter roughly calculated that if he walked in one direction, he could pick almost one or two edible wild vegetables for every kilometer he walked.

What an outrageous coverage!

Fortunately, the walking speed of the two is not slow, and they can walk about four or five miles in an hour.At least the food on this road is guaranteed.

In fact, Carter really wanted to hunt some wild game to supplement nutrition for himself and Jessica, but when Jessica saw those gentle beasts, she became sympathetic and ordered Carter not to kill those cute small animals.

This made Carter dumbfounded.If you can't hunt small animals, why don't you go desperately with those big carnivorous ones?

You must know that although you are an intermediate knight with a fourth-level martial arts cultivation base, you are still a bloodless one.

Although Jessica has the strength of an apprentice knight, those normal large carnivorous animals are comparable to an apprentice knight.

That is to say, if Jessica wanted to kill an ordinary large carnivorous animal, such as a tiger or a lion, she would have to fight with her life to succeed.

But of course Carter would not let Jessica fall into such a dangerous situation.

Having said that, this jungle is really incredible.Toxic food is everywhere, and even the branches and leaves of ordinary trees are slightly poisonous.

In addition to the fact that the coverage rate of poisonous food is many times higher than that of "green food", there are even more healing herbs such as yarrow than edible licorice.

Thanks to this, Carter's injury did not continue to deteriorate.

Carter and Jessica have been walking in this jungle for almost two days.

But they found that the distance to the edge of the jungle was still far away.

When Jessica dragged Cara into the jungle, she never expected that the jungle would be so vast.

Now she really regrets it herself. Why did she choose to enter the jungle and just find an open place to wait for Carter to recover?

It's just that it's too late to say anything now, the two of them have gone deep into the jungle, and there is almost no way out, so they can only move on.

"Such a big jungle, it seems that it should be that jungle." Carter recalled the map of the Principality of Doverville in his mind during the process of passing through the dense forest, and finally guessed where the jungle was.

"What is it?" Jessica asked curiously. There are many jungles near the Ravinas family, and she also wanted to know what the real body of the jungle she just broke into was.

"It's Rollham Forest...it's the jungle at the junction of the Duchy of Doverville and the Duchy of Fria!"

Carter said, "In other words, as long as we cross this jungle, we will soon reach the Principality of Folia."

"That's right, it's great." Jessica immediately cheered when she heard that, because if this were the case, she wouldn't have to worry about how to cross the border of the Principality of Dovillart and head towards Folia.

But after cheering, she couldn't help but feel a little worried: "I heard that this Rohrham forest is very dangerous. Our Ravinas family is tens of miles away from the border of this jungle. But my father always won't let me go to this jungle. , Said there was something terrible inside."

"En." Carter nodded and said, "It is indeed dangerous, because there are monsters in this jungle."

"Warcraft!?" Jessica was surprised. As the eldest lady of the Ravinas family, she naturally knew what kind of monsters existed.

Warcraft are extremely rare on the edge of this continent, but although they are rare, they are very dangerous.

Because monsters can be cultivated just like humans, and advanced monsters have intelligence no less than humans.

Moreover, the body of a monster is inherently stronger than that of a human being. A monster can completely abuse a human being of the same level as it.

Of course, Carter guessed that a well-prepared magician might be able to fight to the death of a monster of the same level.

But after all, he didn't know much about the profession of magician, so he didn't dare to speak nonsense.

Anyway, when Uncle Carl taught him, he said that if a knight is facing a monster of the same level, don't think about anything, just run away.

Carter didn't know whether he could safely escort Jessica through the dense forest with his half-baked middle-level knight, that is, the level of a fourth-level knight.

He just hoped that Jessica and himself would be lucky enough to pass through this dense forest without encountering a monster.

At least for the time being, the luck of the two of them is very good, they didn't meet a monster.

"I said Carter, do you think something's wrong?" Halfway through, Jessica frowned and said to Carter.

"What's wrong?" Carter didn't know why, "Is there something wrong? Why don't I feel it?"
