After less than fifteen minutes of rest, the centaur came to pick people again, and Leah took the lead in ringing the iron cage to respond without waiting for her sister's reaction.

It was still a familiar road, or a familiar ridge, and it didn't take long for Leah to be dragged to the Colosseum, which had already been arranged.

This Colosseum is built on the mountain, and the large wooden piles on the north and west sides are solid and reliable, and the wooden stakes are full of torches, and the Colosseum is as bright as day. To the east is a natural gable, with several viewing platforms built on the gable more than five meters high, and more than 20 well-equipped black and white centaur leaders stand in the platform.

Leah looked to the north, where the bear raised by the centaur was sitting in its cage, as if it had no attack power, but the red light on the bear's claws flickered very strangely.

The centaur pushed Leah into the Colosseum, the makeshift circular Colosseum was not large, the 100-square-meter field was full of stumps and rotten flesh, broken weapons were scattered all over the ground, broken armor was stacked wantonly, and blood made people's feet slip.

Leah had already been here once, and she had picked out her sword and shield from the weapon rack to the west.

With the sound of a gong, the north gate opened, and a grizzly bear slowly walked out.

Leah, who has been fighting on the front line for a long time, has a very intuitive understanding of grizzly bears, this large carnivore is 180 centimeters long, weighs at least 250 kilograms, has a speed of no less than 45 kilometers per hour, has a bite force of up to 800 kilograms, and a conservative estimate of 4,500 kilograms of claw force. Leah wasn't nervous in the face of such a beast that could be fatal with a single blow, she had fought with a grizzly bear, and the experience taught by her sister was indeed effective and feasible. Even this red-clawed mutant grizzly bear still can't climb above its head with its palms, and can't hit its palms below its waist when standing upright. As long as you take advantage of this weakness, you can survive the attacks of these monsters.

Leah doesn't want to go head-to-head with mutant grizzly bears, she just wants to figure out how these mutant grizzly bears differ from normal grizzly bears.

Gathering intelligence and understanding the adversary is a must-have habit for all combatants.

Leah bent her knees slightly, leaned forward with her left hand holding her shield, and held her sword in her right hand, hiding behind the shield, revealing only a pair of eyes to observe the grizzly bear's movements.

The grizzly bear didn't care about Leah, it rummaged through the ground and chewed the minced flesh, licking the blood from the bear's paws from time to time, and was content.

There was no atmosphere of fighting between a man and a bear, and the centaur leaders on the eastern gable were certainly not satisfied with the situation, and they blew their horns to give orders.

As a rocket lifted into the air, the grizzly bear that was rolling in a pool of blood stood upright, and seeing that the rocket was about to fall on the grizzly bear, the grizzly bear slapped at random, and the red light appeared, and the rocket fell into the blood water, and a stench sizzled.

The harassed Grizzly Bear looked left and right for the source of the rocket, and Leah stood still and held her breath. After a few moments, the grizzly bear returned to its original form, happily stomping on the blood.

The centaur leaders stamped their feet in unison and shouted.

More arrows shot at the grizzly bear, the grizzly slammed left and right, the red light flashed frequently, and more than a dozen arrows landed one after another, but none of them could hurt it.

Leah wanted to laugh, but was more scared.

Mutant grizzly bears seem to have intelligence.

The arm holding the shield was a little sore, and Leah stared at the grizzly bear and didn't dare to relax, but the arm still sank down unconsciously.

At the moment when the shield sank, the mutant grizzly bear suddenly looked sideways at Leah, and she immediately lifted the shield vigorously, and the grizzly bear looked down for food as if nothing had happened.

The centaur creeps fired a few more rounds of arrows, all of which were blocked by the grizzly bear. The eccentric grizzly bear walks around the Colosseum, just not near Leah.

Leah's mood grew more and more nervous.

Suddenly, Grizzly Bear runs, and Leah hurriedly retreats, but Grizzly runs to a corner seven or eight meters away from her.

There is a helmet in the corner, and the helmet has a pair of wings, which looks like the standard equipment of the Seraph.

The grizzly bear sits on the ground with his helmet in his arms and jolts from side to side, and the helmet meticulously jumps and clanges between the bear's paws.

Looking at the looming red light, Leah's heart sank to the bottom. Judging by the helmet's jumping trajectory, the bear's paw is as agile as a human's hand, and the mutated grizzly bear's control over its strength is probably more nuanced than most humans.

The hand raising the shield sank again, and the grizzly bear jerked back again.

Leah quickly lifted her shield.

Chill in the heart.

There's no way not to feel cold.

The first time Grizzly turned around, Leah's heart was beating, so she deliberately lowered her shield as a test just now, and the result was exactly what she expected. The mutant grizzly bear had already locked on her, and the indifference she had shown before was all an illusion, as long as she relaxed her guard a little, the grizzly bear would launch an unexpected attack.

The mutant grizzly bear is like an old hunter, waiting for its prey to make a mistake.

The helmet jumped back and forth between the bear's paws a few more times, and the grizzly bear closed his palms, and the helmet turned into a piece of iron.

The centaurs also seem to have noticed the grizzly bear's intentions, and they stop shooting arrows and start drumming instead.

The rhythm of the yakhide drum was unusually unrestrained, and the sound of the bell and bell hit Leah's heart little by little, and she suddenly became irritable, and the urge to fight was unstoppable.

Leah stared at the grizzly bear, the beast tired of playing with his helmet and pulling at the bones of the people on the ground. The bones soaked in mud and blood for a long time, and the black, red, black and red were disgusting. With the sound of the drums, the grizzly bear's half-squinted eyes burst out, and the prominent eyeballs shot out with red light, and the grizzly bear roared extremely unnaturally, shaking the heavens and the earth. Leah only felt that there were a hundred bees flying in her ears, but she couldn't cover her ears, so she could only open her mouth slightly to relieve the noise shock. The grizzly roar caused the other three bears in the cage to roar along, and the centaur creep guarding the cage knelt down with a loud noise, and the centaur leader on the eastern gable neighed and laughed.

The restless drumbeat didn't stop, but the roar of the grizzly bear gradually faded away.

The grizzly bear in the Colosseum actually forcibly suppressed his bloodthirsty impulses.

Leah kind of wanted to give up the fight.

The thought of giving up in his heart just came to mind, and his already sour arm hung down uncontrollably, and the shield shifted and Leah's entire head was exposed.

Where would the grizzly bear let go of such an opportunity, a distance of seven or eight meters was four or five steps, and it was shot with one paw.

Leah's eyes were full of black shadows, and five blood-red strange lights in the black shadows hit the door in front of her.

Without the slightest hesitation, Leah stepped forward with her shield and jumped backwards.

The blood-red glow vanished, and the bear's claws slid across the shield without causing any real damage.

Leah then jumped to the ground and hurriedly straightened the shield, knelt on one leg and shrunk behind the shield.

With a missed blow, Grizzly swaggered with his back to Leah and walked slowly forward, as if he hadn't attacked at all.

The centaur leaders on the east gable saw it all, cheering and cheering at their amazing reactions.

As the battle drums finished beating a chapter, the centaurs fell silent, and only the crackling of torches around them.

Bang dang.

The gong sounded, and the twenty-minute round ended in a man-bear standoff.

The centaur creep guarding the bear cage opened the north gate, and a strange whistle sounded, and the mutant grizzly slowly followed the whistle towards the cage.

According to previous experience, there was a five-minute break after the round, and looking at the grizzly bear that was gradually moving away, Leah secretly wiped her sweat, slowly and rhythmically adjusted her breathing, and the tense heartstrings finally relaxed.

At the moment when Leah exhaled heavily, the grizzly bear, who was about to walk into the cage, turned his head, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched to reveal a smile similar to mockery.

Mockery, disdain, contempt.

Leah was terrified: she was testing the bear, and the bear was testing her.

Thinking about the grizzly bear's rich expression, Leah knew that the bear already had a general understanding of her strength, and the next round would definitely be a fight to the death.

Thinking of this, Leah got busy, she picked up a few tattered pieces of armor from the Colosseum, and put them on her body after a little tidying up, regardless of the blood and mud.

A little more defense is a little more security.

"Click, click." The centaur leaders on the eastern gable called out, "Rechajiu, Rechajiu." ”

Leah looked sideways, and a twine was tied to a twine rope on the gable.

"Rechajiu, Rechajiu." The centaur called.

Leah approached the jar suspiciously, and the leash centaur nodded to her.

The jar was in her hands, and Leah took a sip and set it aside to ignore it.

She also wanted to get drunk and die in numbness.

She also wanted to end everything in silence and relax.

But she couldn't, her sister, her husband, all needed Grizzly's information.

The floodgates open again, and Grizzly Bear walks out, Leah on full alert.

The grizzly bear changed its previous casual state, holding its head high, its fur bulging, its muscles seemed to be loose and tight, and the strength of a thousand hands was between the raised hands.

Before the opening gong sounded, the grizzly bear had already opened its limbs, and saw its mane stand on end, its teeth protruding, and two red lights in front of Leah in the blink of an eye.

Leah didn't dare to resist, and reflexively ran towards the gable, and the grizzly gave chase. After running for more than ten steps, the gable was already in front of her, and Leah gritted her silver teeth and stepped on the smooth gable, taking a step on the gable with the help of the inverted teeth on her military boots. This move lifted Leah a head higher than the crawling grizzly, and she used her power to spin her backflip and dodge the grizzly's claw strike. The grizzly bear's raised paws slapped against the smooth gable, and a red light burst out, and a palm print on the gable that was up to 5 centimeters deep was clearly visible.

Leah saw that the grizzly bear had hit the mountain wall before she could turn around, and the sharp sword struck, and the thin blade cut through the thick fur, leaving a very thin wound on the grizzly bear's ankle.

The grizzly bear was in pain, roared reflexively, and slapped out his right paw.

Leah raises her shield, her claws and shields strike each other, and the shields shatter and fall with claws.

"Ahh Leah's neck protruded, the strength of the grizzly bear was too great, even if the shield removed most of the attack, but her left forearm was still severely cracked, and the sharp pain drilled into her brain.

The grizzly bear tilted its head and smiled, and its right paw hit the ground, and its left paw rose again.

Leah was still in severe pain, and she had no time to resist at all, so she could only take a half step back by instinct, and at the same time held the sword across her waist, the grizzly claws didn't have time to retract, and she was cut by the sword, but it also gently swept to Leah's side waist, and the petite but strong female warrior had three deep bone-deep claw marks on her right waist, and she fell to the ground like a broken kite.

"Hey." The female warrior clenched her sword and screamed, struggling to her feet, taking three steps and two steps to the weapon rack and picking up a larger shield, despite the pain in her waist.

The grizzly bear's throat trembled, and the sword wounds between its ankles and palms were bleeding, a feeling between pain and itchiness that made it very uncomfortable.

Leah's new large shield was made of pure steel, and she couldn't hold it with one hand at all, so she had no choice but to put her bone-cracked left hand on the handle of the shield, the pain made her shiver constantly, but she still stared at the grizzly bear to follow its trajectory and quickly turn the direction of the shield.

Looking at the metallic sheen reflected from the crosshair on the front of the shield, the grizzly seemed to know that the thing was very hard, and it circled around Leah a few times and crawled in the direction of the bear cage.

Leah knew that this was a grizzly bear's plan to be careless, but the blood on her waist was flowing more and more, her vision was gradually blurred, her thoughts began to be confused, and all kinds of past events kept flooding into her mind.

Taking a deep breath hard, Leah's eyes widened, and the whole person leaned against the shield and stood straight.

The Grizzly Bear always looks for an opportunity to attack every three steps and turns around, but Leah, who is still standing, makes it very difficult for it, and it doesn't want to get hurt anymore. After thinking for a moment, the grizzly bear simply lay down in a puddle of mud five meters away from Leah and licked the small wound on the thick bear's paws. Bears that run in the mountains and forests all year round are often injured, and they know some simple ways to heal their wounds, and licking their wounds is the most useful method. But today this sword wound is a little different, the blood keeps oozing, and the more you lick it, the more itchy, the more you want to lick it. It's a strange feeling. The grizzly bear was eager to make the wound bigger, and poked his tongue straight into the flesh to lick it.

The grizzly bear licked for about three minutes, and as it wished, the wound was swamped by it, and more and more blood gushed out.

Leah smiled with satisfaction at this scene.

"Sister, sister, will you protect me for the rest of your life?"

"Silly girl, of course. Mom and Dad are gone, and my sister is your guardian angel. ”

"Is my sister going to take the Seraphic Exam tomorrow?"

"Hmm. Join the Seraph, and we'll have the money and no more leftover bread. ”

"But I've heard that the Seraphs always die......"

"No, my sister is going to do a civilian job, and she specializes in helping the Seraph-sama sort out the combat materials without going to the battlefield."

"Then I can also go to the assessment, why doesn't my sister let me go."

"You're only thirteen years old, which is not enough for the minimum age to be assessed."

"Then I'll go next year. It just so happens that my sister has work experience and can teach me. ”

"Silly girl, of course we have to go to the City of God to learn elemental magic after we have money."

"I don't want to, I want to accompany my sister."

"Think about it, waving your hand is a fireball, your whole body is covered with hard earth elements, you can raise your staff to call the wind and rain, and then you can kill more centaurs to avenge your parents, how nice."

The little girl tilted her head back and imagined countless centaurs dying under her own fireballs, giving a satisfied smile.

The smile of twelve years ago was superimposed on the smile of this moment, and Leah fell to the ground in a dazzling fantasy.

The grizzly bear saw the enemy fall to the ground and got up from the mudflat, and it was about to step forward and tear the enemy apart, but the wound on the bear's paw became more and more itchy, and it stopped in place for a moment to lick the blood from the wound. Licking and licking the grizzly bear, he felt that something was wrong, not only on his palms, but also on his ankles. It sat back in the mud and picked at the slender hole in its ankle with its paws, which grew bigger and more itchy.

Licking his hands and picking his feet, the grizzly bear seemed to fall into an inextricable refreshment.

The centaur leaders of the east and west gables were bewildered by the scene before them, and they chattered and discussed, finally sounding the gong to end the battle.

The gong sounded, and the centaur creeps guarding the bear cage began to whistle, and the grizzly bear looked irresistibly towards the gate when he heard the whistle, it could not resist the whistle it had heard since childhood, but it could not resist the itching of its hands and feet. When he was in a dilemma, the beast had an idea, licked his hands and picked his feet, and jumped back into the cage on one leg. The cage is a safe home, and it licks itself more and more unscrupulously.

The centaur creep lifted his shield and dragged Leah out, dragging her all the way back to the cage, regardless of her life or death.

"Sister, are you hungry?"

The sister's soft voice woke up the little girl who was immersed in the fantasy of killing centaurs, her stomach rumbling, but she shook her head vigorously, "I'm not hungry." ”

With a little starlight in her purple eyes, Lydie sat on a tall tree with Leah in her arms, she took out a piece of beef covered with sauce from the broken basket tied to the branch, cut off a large piece of meat with the knife she carried with her and put it in her sister's hand, and said with a smile, "Eat it." Today I picked up a bag of silver coins on the street, which was heavy and warm in my hand. I was going to hide the silver coins and use them slowly, but when I saw the Seraphs walking around the street, I held back. After the money was returned to the owner, he bought me a piece of beef. It's all pepper sauce, isn't it fragrant? ”

Leah tore off a small strip along the texture of the beef and stuffed it into her mouth, chewed it, and said vaguely, "Fragrant." ”

Lyddy stretched out her little finger to wipe the sauce from the corner of her sister's mouth, took it into her mouth, and savored it.

Leah asked, "Sister, aren't you going to eat?" ”

"I've eaten it." "There's a small piece left in the basket to eat tomorrow." ”

Leah was about to stuff another small piece of meat into her mouth, when she heard her sister's words, she immediately stopped and said, "I'm full." ”

Looking at the remaining meat in her sister's hands, Liddy smiled and said, "Don't save it." There is also a lot of fruit in the basket, enough to eat tomorrow. ”

Leah shook her head and returned the meat to Lidy's hand, and said, "Sister will refer to the Seraph's assessment tomorrow, and eat more meat to have strength." ”

My sister took my sister into her arms, and the breeze was gentle on the trees, but the night was no longer cold.

Leah only felt warm on her body, and she slowly opened her eyes, there was no meat, no trees, only a cage, and she was resting on her sister's lap.

"Wake up." Liddy stroked her sister's forehead and asked softly, "Are you feeling better?" ”

Leah reacted slightly, and the wounds on her arm and waist were bandaged.

"Much better. What's going on? ”

Lydy, cowering on the side of the cage, said, "When you were brought back, I yelled at the centaur, and he seemed to understand what I meant, and threw you into my cage." You don't even know how badly you're hurt, I can only help you bandage it briefly, but fortunately you are determined to survive. Don't talk, just get some rest. ”

Leah slowly closed her eyes, enjoying her sister's body temperature.

"Li Li Changchang." Lydy patted her sister on the back and called, "I'm going to take care of my sister, and you'll be on the next one." Do you understand what I told you about the strength of your wrist? ”

Li Yi nodded and replied, "I understand." Cutting an opponent with the dexterity of the wrist looks like a fine mark on the surface, but the inside of the wound is cruciferous, which can increase the intensity of bloodletting and make the enemy take it lightly. But I'm afraid I can't reach this level now, after all, I haven't even touched a sword. ”

Lyddy said: "This method is really difficult, I only have a 40% chance of doing it so far, my sister has been practicing hard for seven years to be 100% successful, and you still have a long way to go." ”

Li Yi said: "The road is long, I will go up and down to seek." ”

Lydy smiled but didn't respond.

Li Yi closed his eyes and recuperated, and his ears were filled with Neil's sighs, Leah's slightly heavy breathing, and Lydi's gasps caused by having to huddle in a corner to make room for her sister.

"What time is it night?"

"How does this quest end?"

"Where is Lao Ji at this moment?"

These three questions had been circling in Li Yi's mind for a long time, and he looked up at the sky, and the bright moon hung high.

"It would be nice if Lao Ji was here, he could calculate what time it was by looking at the moon." Li Yi fiddled with the iron bar on the cage, "Hey, maybe I can reason like Lao Ji." ”

"When the centaurs slaughtered the city, the welcome party should have just ended. The banquet usually lasts two hours, so it should be around ten o'clock when the banquet ends. In order to protect Isara's departure, Lao Ji and I ran to Falling Rock Falls, which took about 30 minutes. Then I heroically led the centaurs away, and was captured by the centaurs to the captive camp, and the journey took an unknown amount of time, even an hour. Then I got into a fight with the centaurs in the captive camp, which should have taken about twenty minutes, before Little Sister Cali appeared. In this way, the time I killed the black and white centaur chaser in the Heartwood Forest, and then hung the poisoned arrows all over my body, was about twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. ”

The time of his arrest was twelve o'clock in the morning, and this coincidence made Li Yi even more convinced that his reasoning was reasonable.

"If I had been captured at twelve o'clock in the morning, it would have taken no more than twelve ten to reach the centaur camp, and I would have been in this cage no more than twelve twenty minutes. After being imprisoned, Neil greeted me, and five or six minutes later, he was dragged by the centaurs to the Colosseum. According to Lydy, everyone would play two games in the Colosseum of twenty minutes each, with a five-minute break, and then Neil would come back at about one and a half minutes, even if it was a little round. ”

Li Yi felt that integers were more magical, and arbitrarily set the result of the inference at one integer.

"If Neil had come back at exactly one o'clock, then Lydy would have been dragged away at fifteen o'clock."

Li Yi slapped his face and said to himself, "I'm so stupid." It doesn't have to be that way. Two games, plus halftime plus the post-game adjustment time given by the Centaur, in fact, one fight is one hour. , so it's past three o'clock in the night? ”

Lyddy heard Li Yi babbling and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

"I said it's past three o'clock.

"Three, what's wrong?"

Li Yi looked at Lydy curiously and asked, "How do you know?" ”

Lydy pointed to the main tent in the middle of the centaur camp and said, "Look at the torches over there, three large torches represent that it is now three o'clock, and one small torch means that it is just a moment now, this is the centaur's unique way of keeping time, we Seraphs all understand." ”

Li Yi secretly picked his thumb in his heart to express his amazement at the details of this game, and then thought of Li Weiji solving the puzzles in the game many times, and couldn't help but read: "If it was Lao Ji who was locked up here, he must have noticed the change of the torch a long time ago." Lao Ji, Lao Ji, where are you? ”

The centaur creeps rushed to the sound of Li Yi's chatter, and the adjustment time ended after the game, and a new round of fighting began immediately.

Li Yi put away his mind and prepared to respond to the centaur draft, but he saw Neil slam his head against the iron cage, and the sound of the bell was indecisive.
