THE STRONGEST NEXULYTE

Chapter 66: Searching for the leader



"Mari, you should be able to look for where the leader is, right?" Ivan asked.

Mari nodded and asked for a moment, he proceeded to summon his sharp eyed wind parrot.

It was a small parrot with beautiful blue feathers and pitch black eyes, the parrot immediately flew into the air after it appeared.

It didn\'t make any sound as it disappeared into the distance.

They saw Mari\'s eyes turning pitch black as he suddenly turned motionless and would not react to anything they said.

Minutes slowly passed as the group waited for Mari to wake up, ten minutes later.

"Found it!"

Mari said as his eyes returned to normal, he turned to the ground and told them what he had found.

Three kilometers to the north from where they were resting was a small village built on top of trees with countless Dryads roaming around the area, the number of houses were few since most of the Dryads simply slept out in the open but Mari was able to see the house that was most likely to be the leaders residence through his shared eyesight with his parrot.

In the heart of this small village was an extremely enormous tree, the tree was just as tall as every other tree but its size was about three times the size of the rest and its leaves were as wide as canopies.

On top of this tree was a small hut made from fresh green vines and radiant flowers, it had to belong to none other than the leader.

While he explained, a gust of wind blew towards them as the parrot landed on Mari\'s shoulder. It has returned quickly after completing its objective, it had only spent so much time outside previously since it was searching for something.

After listening to what Mari had to say, the group concluded that he had indeed found the location of the Dryads leader.

The problem now was how to get there.

The small village was three kilometers away from them and everywhere in front of them was part of the forest which meant that hundreds of Dryads were waiting for them down there, it was plain suicide to go down.

Also trying to slowly hunt down the Dryads till their numbers reached a critical point was doable since that would take them days if not weeks.

"I have a suggestion" Mari suddenly said while the others were thinking.

"Let\'s hear it"

"While my parrot was searching, it came across a canyon that followed the base of the mountain and stretched between the mountain and the forest. Following it will take us as close as five hundred meters to the village and we can enter from the back" explained Mari.

"Good job! Your talent is so useful, we would have had to give up if not for this" Camellia patted Mari on the shoulder and said while smiling.

The rest agreed with her. Mari\'s discovery had just saved the team a great deal of worry.

"Since everyone has no objective, Mari can lead the way," Ivan said after a while.

They also stood up and resumed climbing up the mountain, they reached the top after a while and started walking in the direction of the canyon under Mari\'s lead.

With the parrot flying ahead of them, Mari was able to lead the group through the canyon without encountering any monsters that lived in it.

They finally reached their destination after over an hour of walking.

"This part of the forest will lead us straight to the backyard or the village. I checked before and saw that very few Dryads roam these parts so we should be able to deal with them swiftly without drawing attention" Mari said to Ivan and the rest.

Ivan nodded before turning to rose.

"You and I will be at the front, Camellia will stay behind us to support us if needed, the rest will follow quietly behind her" Ivan instructed and everyone nodded.

They then climbed up from the canyon and slowly entered the forest.

"Two Dryads are fifty meters in front of us, one is resting on a tree two hundred meters to our left while five are currently heading this way but are still a hundred meters away at the moment"

Hiding behind a huge tree, the group surrounded Mari whose eyes changed from pitch black to normal before giving his report.

" Ok, we\'ll deal with the two in front before those five get here. We\'ll not bother the one resting on a tree. Rose, let\'s go" Ivan said before summoning a card and turning it into a sword.

Rose followed behind him as they jumped from tree branch to tree branch in stealth, the others followed while maintaining a good distance.

Few seconds later, Ivan saw the two Dryads.

The two monsters were resting on tall trees five meters away from each other and it looked like they were sleeping.

Turning to look at Rose, the two nodded at each other before slowly approaching the two sleeping Dryads.

After getting as close as six meters from the Dryads, the two of them stopped before looking at each other again and making sure that both of them were ready to strike.

\'Now\' Ivan muttered and immediately dashed toward the sleeping Dryads.

Rose did the same as well.

The two Dryads immediately sensed the movements of the two with their root limbs and opened their eyes to see who the intruders were.

Swoosh!!

Shrink!!

Before the Dryad could react, Ivan had already appeared above it and swung his sword at its face. Instantly cutting its head in half, the Dryad died immediately.

Unlike Ivan, Rose wasn\'t as fast. Immediately after she arrived near the Dryad, the monster immediately raised its branches and used it to block her sword.

Keg!!

The sword cut through the branches and sank a few centimeters into the neck of the Dryad but got stuck, she wasn\'t able to finish it off instantly.

After blocking the attack, the Dryad raised its other branch like hands and was about to hit Rose when a red sword suddenly came flying in its direction and pierced its head.

Its movements immediately stopped and it fell, dead.

Rose looked over to Ivan and saw the latter walking toward her, she gritted her teeth, thinking that he was coming to scold or mock her.

But contrary to her expectations, Ivan simply picked up his words before quietly telling her to follow him.

Rose\'s eyes widened in surprise. She has always seen Ivan like a cold hearted and seemingly mean person who didn\'t like people. She has expected him to at least complain about her failure if not directly scolding her.

But not only did he help her, he did not even talk about it.

Ivan paused and turned back to look at her when he saw that the lady wasn\'t following him, his gaze asking what she was still standing there for.

Rose blushed and looked away for a second before following behind him.

They met up with the rest of the team and had Mari scout ahead again.

They found their next target and safest route quickly, Rose and Ivan moved out together with Camellia this time around to deal with the Dryads.

There were three Dryads this time and they were not sleeping. Ivan had Camellia sneak up on them with her Vines and bound them while he would take care of two and Rose would finish the last one.

Following Ivan\'s instructions, the three of them swiftly killed the three Dryads without Ivan needing to assist Rose this time. Everyone carried out their parts perfectly and the three Dryads did not even get the time to screech before their wooden necks were cut through.

After a slow thirty minutes of sneaking up on Dryads, the group finally killed over twenty Dryads and reached the village.

Just like Mari had said, the place was crawling with Dryads but very few of them reached the back.

Fine huts made from trees and vines could be spotted on various trees and Dryads of various sizes could be seen moving around the place.

In the middle of the village was an enormous tree. Mari had tried describing it for them before but seeing it in person still left the group in awe, the tree was easily the same size as a building!

Its branches and leaves were equally just as big to fit such a tree, huge roots spread from the base of the tree and disappeared into the ground.

On top of this tree was a beautiful hut just as Mari had described, it was more beautiful and pleasing to the eyes than the rest.

While the group hid on top of a tree a few meters from the village and were contemplating their next course of action, a figure came out from the hut.

The eyes of everyone in the group flashed with disbelief upon seeing this figure that looked like a human. Stay tuned to m-v l|e\'-NovelBin.net

This figure has the body of a human being, a woman to be precise. She had slender arms and long legs, her skin was so smooth that one could tell how soft it was just by looking at it and her skin color was fair with a bit of green. She had long flowing green hair  that reached all the way to her lower back and on her head were two little cute wooden horns.

She wore a majestic green evening dress that seemed to be made from fresh leaves, the dress clinging to her body and perfectly outlined her seductive shape and sizes.

This spirit has such a body that would make men go crazy with burning desires and make any woman grit their teeth with jealousy, even top models and superstars would be jealous of her body.

The only thing that made one realize that she wasn\'t human and at the same time frown in disgust was…
