Chapter 20: Preparing to Leave
"Boom!"
Balu flew backwards and crashed into a large tree. The big tree that the three of them were hugging was hit by him, and it broke neatly from the middle, and the top half fell to the ground and shattered into wooden blocks.
The masked man was also uncomfortable, and he flipped a few heels in the air and landed on the grass five feet away. However, he quickly stood up and walked towards Baru, his steps were steady, and he was clearly not injured.
Baloo tried three times, but he didn't get up. He knew that he had really lost this time!
"I finally understood the use of power and became a high-level warrior, but I can't return to the Kree tribe!"
Looking at the masked man approaching, Balu thought dejectedly.
At that moment just now, he had broken through and become a high-level warrior, but because he had consumed too much physical strength before and was injured again, after the breakthrough, although Balu's strength had changed a lot, he was still inferior to the masked man.
This time, he really had no choice but to listen to the other party's footsteps and wait for death.
Begging for mercy, Balu will not.
"Hahaha!" The masked man walked up to Balu and smirked. Balu lay on the ground, ignoring him, just looking at the sky. He thought of the tribe, of the Great Elder, of his relatives and friends, and finally of Andrew in front of him.
"I'm sorry, brother, my negligence almost cost you your life, but unfortunately I don't have a chance to make up for this mistake......"
The battle three years ago, Baloo will never forget.
The masked man stopped laughing, ripped off the black cloth on his face, and stretched out his hand to Balu: "Balu, congratulations on becoming a high-level warrior!" ”
This man is Andrew!
Previously, Andrew saw that Baloo was only one step away from a high-level fighter. The Iron Pig couldn't let him break through because he was too obsessed with the Iron Pig in his heart. So, he covered himself with a black cloth and took action himself, so that Balu could experience the power of despair, so as to help him break through.
He succeeded, and Balu learned the use of power in his battles and succeeded in becoming a high-level warrior!
Balu looked up in amazement, and a familiar face met his eyes.
"Are you, Andrew?" Baloo's words were a little uncertain, he and Andrew hadn't seen each other for three years. In three years, Andrew has changed a lot, but some things are forever the same.
"Yes, get up!" Andrew laughed and pulled him up.
Balu seemed to be in a dream, this gap from death to life was so great that he couldn't believe it, his head was buzzing, and he was dazed.
Andrew didn't rush him either, and sat down on the side. He was also a man who had died once, and he understood what it was like to die, and he knew what it was like to be in Baru's current state. This is how anyone in the face of this transformation will be.
After a quarter of an hour, Balu gradually came to his senses, and he looked at Andrew with a complicated expression, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Supposedly, he helped himself break through, and he should be grateful to him. However, thinking of the despair before his death just now, he could not say words of thanks.
"Congratulations, Baru!" Andrew repeated, "Before you are twenty years old, you will become a high-level warrior, I think, this talent, even in the Far Eastern Prairie, is rare, if the Great Elder knows, he must be very happy." ”
Balu's eyes froze, yes, I broke through, I lived up to the expectations of the Great Elder. Just now, I almost died, but I didn't. Andrew didn't want to kill me, but to help me break through!
At this moment, he finally sorted things out.
"Thank you, Andrew!" Balu turned around solemnly, hugged Andrew hard, and thanked him sincerely.
Andrew smiled, knowing that Baloo was now fully recovered. At first, he was worried that this incident would leave a shadow on Balu, but it seemed that the three years of experience had sharpened his mind very strongly.
"No thanks, we are brothers!" Andrew smiled, "Okay, I'm going to go back, what about you?" ”
Balu touched the back of his head: "I'm going back too, it's been three years!" ”
Andrew said loudly: "Then let's go, I miss my family too." ”
Balu picked up his iron rod, put it on his shoulder, and suddenly turned his head and said: "Andrew, your strength has also broken through, why don't we compare the speed and see who goes back first." ”
Andrew was stunned for a moment, then asked, "You want to compete with me for speed?" ”
Balu provoked: "Why, you don't dare? ”
Andrew held back a smile and nodded solemnly: "Okay, let's see who goes back first." I'll break through earlier than you and let you go first. ”
As soon as the words fell, Balu had already fled dozens of meters away. The seventh-level warrior was already close to two meters tall, and he ran as if he was a tank, and the movement was very loud. In front of him, the rocks, trees, and vines were all broken by his body, and behind him, a two-meter-wide passage appeared in the jungle, and Andrew was a little stunned.
"It's a barbaric ......"
After Balu left for a short while, Andrew smiled proudly, and with a move of his hand, a three-meter-tall giant tiger appeared, which was none other than the eighth-level Warcraft Wind Winged Tiger King Golden Tiger. He jumped lightly and jumped onto the back of the golden tiger.
The golden tiger spread its wings, and without a sound, it had risen into the air. It is a wind-type magical beast, and its use of wind-based magic is comparable to that of a ninth-level great magician, and this silent flight is very simple for it.
"The Army wants to compete with the Air Force, it's really ...... Alas, Balu, I'm leaving anyway, and before I leave, I'll bully you with the Golden Tiger. ”
The Golden Tiger flies very fast, and it takes Andrew half an hour to travel, and it will arrive in half an hour. However, in order to avoid causing panic, Andrew descended outside the Cree tribe. He was not in a hurry to go back, but waited on the side of the road.
Nearly an hour later, Baloo's figure finally appeared. He's still fast, he's got a lot of stamina, but ......
"Andrew, you, why are you here......" Baloo seemed to have seen the undead, and he couldn't say anything.
Andrew patted the golden tiger under him, and Balu followed his movements and shifted his gaze, this time, he was even more surprised.
"This is, Windwing Tiger King?"
Andrew jumped down and said with a smile: "Yes, with it, can you outrun me?" ”
Baru's heart jumped: "You mean, you took it in?" ”
"I've noticed you're getting a lot smarter." Andrew touched the head of the Golden Tiger and said, "It is now my mount, called the Golden Tiger, the Golden Tiger, this is my brother Balu, say hello to him!" ”
"Roar!"
The golden tiger roared, which was regarded as a greeting.
Balu shook the tiger back a few steps, only to feel a strong wind rushing towards him, almost blowing himself up. Only then did he finally believe the facts in front of him.
"Unexpectedly, you now have the strength to subdue the eighth-level demonic beasts." Balu thought that his brother, who was only better than him, had left him far behind, and the joy after the breakthrough had faded a lot. For the past three years, he has been aiming for Andrew, wanting to surpass him, but when he sees it today, he is already desperate.
Andrew patted him on the shoulder and said, "Balu, you have done a good job, it is a miracle to go from a fourth-level warrior to a seventh-level warrior in three years!" Each of us has our own opportunities, you don't have to envy me. There is still a long way to go, and if we want to fight, we have many opportunities! I don't want you to give up because of this blow, you know, the strong are indomitable! ”
Saying this, Baru immediately recovered, and put his frustration aside: "You are right, if you want to become a strong person, you must have such determination. And, you and I are brothers, and I am sincerely proud of what you have achieved! I'll catch up with you soon, though! ”
Seeing off Baloo, Andrew returned home. His return made his family very happy, especially Ling'er, who was even more pleasantly surprised.
Counting up, this outing has been less than half a month, which is much shorter than the half a year he said before.
Ling'er hugged him, happy and worried, and asked cautiously, "Brother, are you going to leave soon?" ”
Andrew scratched her little nose and promised, "This time, my brother won't leave again." ”
At dinner, Andrew discusses the move with Howard and Janice, and asks for their opinions.
Howard didn't say anything, as long as his family could get by, it didn't matter where he was. Janice made it clear that she agreed, she was a person who paid attention to the taste of life and art, and it was indeed a bit difficult to live with the barbarians.
"Since you have agreed, in two days, let's leave. However, Maple Grove is too small, so we might as well go to a nearby big city. Ling'er is not small, she can cultivate, and there are magic academies and warrior academies in big cities, which is more convenient. Andrew said.
Howard laughed, "yes, that's a good idea. Before, my strength was not high, I went to the big city, and I was afraid of being bullied by those nobles. Now Andrew is already a high-level warrior, and he has also subdued the eighth-level demonic beast, with his age, such a talent, even if it is to the imperial capital of the Magnolia Empire, His Majesty the Emperor will reward him with the title of nobility and attract him to stay in the empire. Speaking of this, he glanced enviously at the golden tiger next to him. Jin Hu was shrinking his body at the moment, lazily lying there.
However, even if his body is small, that kind of fierce and explosive aura can't hide it, and such a Warcraft partner is too attractive to Howard. Moreover, at a very young age, he dreamed of being able to get a tiger monster as a companion.
