A small crack appeared on the tree trunk, and after a muffled sound, a pitch-black tree hole appeared in front of everyone.

A short-haired, white-haired fox-eared girl poked her head out from among them. She was happy to hear Peggy's voice, but when she saw Reiner, she hid back timidly.

What a shy little guy.

Peggy looked back at Reiner and slowly lowered her head: "This is my sister Neve. She is very wary of humans."

"Let her out, let's leave this forest quickly. From what Elliana described, the red dragon is quite dangerous." Reiner raised his eyebrows.

Peggy nodded, and her inner voice came at this moment.

(At this point, I can only trust him...)

She knocked on the tree trunk and whispered, "Come out quickly! He's different from other humans. He's a demon."

With Peggy's assurance, Neve walked out cautiously. She hugged Peggy's waist and hid behind her, peeking at Reiner from time to time.

This little guy looks like he is only in his teens, and he is not very smart.

Her eyes were bright and she didn't look malnourished, so she probably hadn't been hungry during this period.

Reiner took a look inside the tree hole and found that it was covered with dead leaves, with many berries piled in the corner and a half-eaten rabbit.

At this moment, Neve slowly spoke, "Sister... This area is not safe. There are often monsters flying around in the sky."

"Let's follow him out of here now." Paige stroked her fox ears and whispered soothingly.

Just then, a flock of frightened birds flew out of the woods.

Nora pricked up her ears, looked up into the depths of the woods, and at the same time drew the dagger from her waist: "Master, something is coming from the sky!"

Reiner followed her gaze and saw a red shadow rising into the sky and emitting a shrill roar.

Nora covered her ears, looking a little nervous.

Paige and Neve hugged each other tightly.

Reiner took a closer look.

He didn't think it looked like a dragon, but more like a giant red lizard with wings.

The red dragon circled in the air for a few times before swooping down towards them, its chest and throat emitting a bright red light.

"Be careful, it's coming towards us." Reiner raised his staff high and instantly charged a fireball and shot it at it.

The fireball exploded in the air and accurately hit the red dragon in the air, but this guy was not affected at all. He rushed out from the flames and continued to attack them.

Reiner muttered to himself, "Fire magic doesn't seem to work on it... Wait, Peggy, don't run!"

Paige was so frightened that she took Neve and hid to the side.

Nora quickly grabbed her, but Neve still ran away.

Peggy frowned and shouted while struggling, "Are you going to stay here and die?"

Reiner didn't have time to explain, he just shouted to the little fox who was still running: "Neve, come back soon!"

Nora called out again, "Master!"

Reiner understood what he meant and quickly deployed a barrier of light to block the flames that the red dragon spewed out from the air.

Neve, who ran far away, was not so lucky.

Seeing that Lieyan had no effect on Reiner and the others, Chilong turned his attention to Neve.

Reiner reacted quickly and shot a large water ball at the fleeing Neve, completely soaking her clothes.

The next second, flames came all over her head and the trees around her were completely set on fire.

Reiner could vaguely see that Neve was still ignited by the flames and was rolling on the ground.

"Neve!" Peggy shouted anxiously. She couldn't break free from Nora and was pulled back by Reiner.

"Don't go out yet."
