Arthur looked at Isabel again who did not have any reaction.
"Well!" He sighed softly.
After that, he looked at two of the mercenaries.
"I want you to take them back to the city and hide in a safe place, are you able?" he asked them.
At the same time, he untied the researchers with his magic.
"We'll do it, boss..." The two mercenaries quickly replied.
Of course, there was no way they would be worried about a task like this. Although they were only Hunter's subordinates, but in fact, they also possessed high military skills.
Even before becoming knights, they wouldn't be afraid of the task, not to mention now.
"Boss!" Rose suddenly called out to Arthur.
As Arthur looked at her, she glanced at the cars.
"Although the other two cars are still usable, but their tires have been damaged," she told Arthur.
The latter frowned when he heard that.
Of course, the cars had spare tires, but each car only had one spare tire.
"Boss, we can walk," one of the mercenaries said suddenly.
"What, on foot?" Unfortunately, the researchers were stunned when they heard that.
Even by car, they felt rather frustrated entering this forest, not to mention on foot.
They couldn't imagine how difficult it would be.
Plus, some of them are quite old.
Arthur glanced at them, thinking that they were really a burden on him.
Actually, their deaths would be great, but he wasn't that cruel either since they were still ordinary people.
However, there was no other solution for now, using a car was impossible as it could cause a severe accident even if the one driving was a mercenary. After all, the road in this forest didn't have asphalt yet, it was just dirt that had bumps and holes everywhere.
Arthur waved his hand, telling them to leave no matter what happened.
Under the coercion of the two mercenaries, they were naturally afraid to refuse.
However, when Alice wanted to go with them, Arthur said to her, "you can come with us!"
Hearing that, Alice stopped her steps, looked at Arthur doubtfully and then looked at Isabel and then looked at her research friends.
She was actually quite curious about Arthur and the others, so she was interested in following them to see more of what they were doing.
She also kept wondering how they could all have such strong powers that the Evolvers developed by the European military were helpless.
It was just that she felt uncomfortable if she had to leave her friends behind.
"Don't think too much!" When she was thinking, Arthur suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her until she almost fell.
"Wait, where do you want to take me?" She immediately panicked.
At the same time, Arthur whistled like he was calling a bird.
However, it wasn't a bird that came.
Suddenly, the ground in the direction where the lake was located shook while the trees fell.
The researchers looked over there out of curiosity and quickly had their eyes wide open.
"Oh my god, what is this thing?" One of them said.
Of course, they clearly saw that it was a crocodile, but its size made them wonder if they were still on earth.
Alice who was standing next to Arthur almost staggered back.
She was trembling into a cold sweat.
"H-how could a crocodile grow this big?" She said.
At ten meters long, it was practically almost 2 meters tall, taller than all the humans there.
Its mouth when open was practically like a cave entrance.
Arthur didn't say anything, he jumped while pulling Alice's hand so that she jumped with him and landed right on the crocodile's head.
Having a pet here, Arthur naturally didn't want to keep bothering jumping from tree to tree like a monkey.
He signaled Isabel to climb onto the crocodile as well.
Isabel without hesitation jumped onto the huge body.
However, when Rose and the others were about to jump onto the crocodile's body, it suddenly swung its tail towards them.
Its mouth opened and it roared, as if warning them not to try that or it would eat them.
"You?" Rose was dumbfounded and looked helplessly at Arthur.
"Boss, what should we do?" she asked him.
Even Isabel was confused by this situation that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She wondered why the crocodile didn't react when she jumped on top of it. Did it regard her as one of its masters or was Arthur using his magic to organize the crocodile.
In fact, there was nothing that Arthur did.
The crocodile let Alice be because she climbed onto its body with Arthur.
As for Isabel, it knew that Arthur was very close to her so it also allowed her and was respectful to her.
Unfortunately, that was not the case with the others.
To the crocodile, they were just Arthur's subordinates and it was too. It did not consider its status lower than theirs. How could it accept them riding on its back, using it as a mount.
If we talk about self-esteem, the crocodile had self-esteem above humans.
Arthur didn't want to do anything unfair to his fellow subordinates, so he didn't say anything, signaling Rose to run.
It was a fair decision.
Rose herself must have objected if the crocodile was planning to mount her body.
Since Arthur didn't say anything, Rose couldn't do anything.
However, Arthur ordered the crocodile not to move in front, but to follow behind Rose and the others because if the crocodile ran, the others might be left behind.
As Rose and the others started jumping from tree to tree, the crocodile immediately moved.
It was truly the master of this forest as it could move easily without disturbing Arthur, Isabel, and Alice who were on top of it.
The sight made Alice's lips part. She was like seeing another world, unable to believe that this was real.
Of course, as they got further away from the cars, the environment began to darken as there were no light sources close by.
Alice had trouble seeing as she didn't have the spiritual power to sharpen her vision.
And the dark environment was enough to scare her.
Spontaneously, she moved towards Arthur so that her body was against his, like she wanted to snuggle up to him.
