Chapter 328 A woman who looks like a child
The four people stood back to back and watched the monsters around them.
"Sure enough, the situation is very bad." Ryan said with a sarcastic smile.
"Have you reached your limit?"
"Nonsense, I'm still very energetic."
"Me too! I can still keep fighting!!"
Even so, Helene, Ryan and Raila were all in tatters.
"Where's the old man?"
"Hahaha, you won't lose to the young man." Grim also replied, his arms hanging down, looking very hard.
Ryan gently cast his eyes on the three people behind him: "Although I pretend to be tough, in fact, I may have reached my limit."
Although they thought about this, they had no intention of retreating. They could only stare at the approaching monster.
They couldn't even avoid the incoming Cyclops' attack.
Unprepared to die, they are still exploring ways to survive until the very end. At this moment, Ryan's eyes widened.
"It seems that our luck has come."
Hearing Ryan's words, the three people behind him frowned and looked at him. The next moment, all the surrounding monsters were prostrate on the ground. Even the Cyclops fell to the ground, flattening the monster below and then crawling on the ground.
"Don't hurt my lovely grandson."
A high-pitched female voice sounded. His eyes moved to the top of the Cyclops on the ground, and a light figure emerged, a child-like woman wearing a white cloak.
In her right hand she held a staff that was taller than her body. The surrounding monsters were still lying on the ground, just staring at her.
The woman turned to Ryan, smiled and said, "Long time no see, Ryan."
Ryan kept a tired expression and smiled back: "Grandma Ruth, long time no see."
The woman named Ruth smiled again and glanced around: "It's really difficult to deal with this guy."
She jumped up and landed in front of the four people. Then she struck the ground with her staff.
The next moment, the wind began to dance around the five people. The air gradually froze, forming a blizzard surrounding it. With a bang, the five people suddenly disappeared.
When the blizzard dissipated, the four people's vision suddenly changed. They stood in the center of the village, surrounded by rows of small wooden houses.
"Lane!"
Along with the shouting, Ryan was hugged by something and fell down.
"Great! So great!!"
A soft expression came over his face. Feeling suffocated. But somehow, it felt comfortable. There was darkness in his vision.
Maybe it would be good to maintain this state for a while.
"Ryan is injured! Leave quickly!" Hailin's voice came, and Ryan was freed from the darkness.
Looking up, a relieved Ryan was looking down at this place worriedly. Helene's cold eyes were fixed on Ryan.
Ryan coughed and stood up. Looking sideways, Grimm returned to his original position and sat on the ground tiredly. Raila was the same, her expression did not change, but the sweat on her forehead could not hide her fatigue.
Ryan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look back. Looking around, Ruth was looking up at him, with a reassuring expression on her face.
"Ryan, you have grown up."
"That's because it's the growth stage. But luckily it's okay, Grandma Ruth."
Ruth shook her head: "Are there any grandmothers who don't help when their grandson is in danger? I'm not like that damn old man."
Ryan suddenly understood and replied with a wry smile: "Grandpa is also here to help, right?"
"Of course. If you don't come, I will kill that fool myself."
"Hey, you two, please make up."
"Hateful," Ruth replied with a smile.
"Okay, Ryan, come here. I'll explain the situation to you. Everyone else can rest first!"
Ruth looked behind Ryan, and Ryan followed her gaze. In the distance, several injured people were being carried out of the carriage.
"Lane." Lane was called, and Lane turned to her.
"You really need to have a good rest. Let's talk about it later." Ruth waved her right hand and immediately ran towards the carriage.
"Oh, um." Ryan raised his right hand and waved it a little. His eyes met the narrow-eyed Hai Lin, and he hurriedly put down his hand. When Ruth saw this scene, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
"Stop dawdling, come here." Ruth turned her back. The young man planned to walk over, but turned back slightly.
Ruth said explaining the situation.
"Hey, grandma."
Called, Ruth stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"We are companions. Is it okay for these people to come too?"
Ruth looked behind Ryan, and Grim and Raila stood up in a hurry. After a moment of silence, she said, "It's up to you." She continued to leave.
Ryan turned to the three of them: "I'm sorry to make you tired. I'm very grateful to come together to help." His words received a nod from the three people.
The place we were directed to was an old one-story house. The room was spacious, with a stove in the center. Hailin felt a sense of intimacy when she saw it.
As the fire buzzed by the hearth, Ruth sat nearby and said to the four, "Sit down."
The four of them sat across from Ruth, and silence spread. Raila, who had been looking around, said to Ruth: "Hey, hey. Well, you are the old lady Ruth, right?"
Ruth frowned: "Yes, that's right."
"How old are you?" Raila asked without changing her expression, while Helene and Grimhorn showed surprised expressions.
Ryan turned around quickly and shouted to Raila: "Idiot!"
Ruth stared at Raila silently: "You shouldn't ask a lady her age, elf." Just this glare. Although Raila's face remained expressionless, cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
"I forgive you this time, but not the second time."
"sorry!"
"A sincere apology is proof of a good child." As she spoke, Ruth opened the lid of the slender wooden box next to her. There was a pipe in it and she took it out.
She rolled up the dry leaves and roasted them in the fire. After taking a puff, purple smoke drifted out of Ruth's mouth. No one spoke, just stared.
"Are you here following his grandfather's orders?" Ruth asked, and Ryan shook his head: "It was originally received by Renault... the S-class 'God of Destruction' of 'Silver Snow'" Mission, we are here."
"Where's that guy?"
"He went to the Empire to deal with other matters."
Ruth smiled slightly and bit her pipe again: "Did you know about this situation before you set off?"
"...I don't know. I discovered the anomaly when I entered the forest."
"So..." Ruth knocked the ashes away with her pipe and put it away.
"Old lady, please tell us the current situation."
"As you are aware. The village is under siege and means of communication have been cut off."
