After the dinner was finished, Spider hiccuped slightly. It was hard to imagine that such a huge body of a unicorn monitor lizard could dry up so quickly, and Spider Ji's small body had only grown 3 centimeters taller after absorbing so much flesh and blood essence.

Spider took a deep breath and said in a satisfied tone, "It's comfortable..."

Then the peacock walked up to the carcass of the one-horned monitor lizard, gouged out its heart, and dug out its horn. The heart is a credential that increases the rating of the hunt, while the unicorn is a valuable material that can be used for a variety of purposes and is worth at least 1000 gold coins.

After disposing of these trivialities, the group moved on.

After another 20 minutes, the group found the corpses of more than a dozen iron-clawed baboons in a collapsed woodland.

Ironclaw baboons are social monsters, low-level 3-order, agile, physically strong, and their strength is far inferior to that of unicorn monitor lizards, but the characteristics of living in groups make them more dangerous than many intermediate level 1 monsters. They live on trees all year round, have a strong sense of territory, and have a strong sense of revenge. If a territory is invaded and a dwelling is destroyed, they will retaliate against any recklessness.

And the initiator is undoubtedly the forest mammoth.

After communicating with a secondary demon, Spider suddenly said, "This mammoth is injured!" ”

This is undoubtedly good news. The strength of the Forest Mammoth is so strong that it is one of the few in the Intermediate 2nd Order, and these big trees that can only be barely hugged by one person were knocked down by him like this, which shows that it can completely crush everyone on its own side, at least in terms of strength.

If it could knock down such a stout tree, it wouldn't be easy to crush the necromantic minions? At this stage, the necromantic minions summoned by Gaudus are no more sturdy than trees.

But if it is injured, then the situation is better, the injury will make the mammoth weak, and running will speed up the rate of blood loss, and the constant blood loss will further cause weakness, which is a vicious cycle that is very beneficial to Gaudos.

The weak forest mammoth is still easy to deal with, isn't it?

At this time, Spider Ji suddenly looked back and saw a tall and blurry black shadow, which seemed to be a knight, under the light of the hazy moonlight, was rapidly rushing towards here.

For some reason, Spider Ji suddenly summoned 4 blade arthropods, and after the blade arthropods were stretched to the extreme, they stretched to the maximum, and the sharp tip pointed directly at the knight's black shadow, as if the other party was not a person, but a terrifying beast.

The sound of horses' hooves like war drums was getting closer and closer, as if stepping on a hurried drum, and the vague black shadow gradually became clear, and the knight on the horse was finally about to reveal his true face.

After seeing the visitor's face clearly, Spider Ji was relieved, and the four arthropods that had been stretched out retracted into her body.

It turned out to be Don Quixote.

Don Quixote let out a long snort from under his crotch, and his dark blood-red eyes looked at the group of necromantic creatures and strangers in front of him, with a thick hostility in his eyes, which disappeared when his gaze swept over Belia, and immediately became quiet.

"Why are you here?" Gaudos stepped forward and asked.

Don Quixote jumped off Nightmare's back and said with a smile, "The Earl is not at ease with the little princess, so he ordered me to protect her." ”

Gaudus nodded, and then asked, "Have you ever met anyone?" ”

"You mean Robert?"

"You know this man?" Gaudos asked in surprise, "So you met him?" ”

Don Quixote nodded and said, "It's just a chance encounter." ”

Gaudus noticed that the golden eagle relief on Don Quixote's breastplate had been marked with a sword mark, which looked very new, and judging by his experience as an array mage, it would take no more than six hours. That is, six hours earlier, Don Quixote had been in a fight.

Don Quixote noticed Gauldos's gaze and said with a smile, "It's just a fight with Robert." ”

"Looks like you won."

"He's not in good shape, he seems to have just gone through a fight, and he's not my opponent."

"Did you kill him?"

Don Quixote shook his head and said, "He ran away." ”

"Ran away?"

Gaudus looked into Don Quixote's eyes, trying to find something in his eyes, but alas, there was no change in his eyes, let alone any emotion in them... This is a pair of absolutely calm, firm, unflawed and fluctuating eyes, eyes that cannot read the content, extremely calm.

Although Don Quixote had a serene and sincere expression, it didn't look like he was lying, but how could it be? He had a nightmare of wading through mountains and rivers like walking on flat ground, how could that guy Robert run away?

"You're lying!"

Don Quixote shifted his gaze to Belea, and his gaze softened. He said softly, "Little princess, I didn't lie. ”

The little princess's beautiful eyes were fixed on Don Quixote's hand, and she said angrily: "When you tell a lie, your right hands are clenched together!" ”

Don Quixote was slightly stunned, only to see his right arm tremble slightly, and his right hand, which was already clenched, made an explosive bone crackling sound at this time! It can be seen that the power of his fist clenched in an instant, and he actually pinched all the bones of his right hand to crackle!

After a brief clenching of his fists, Don Quixote let go of his hand, lowered his head, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, little princess, I..."

But Gauldos interjected: "Robert is the strongest warrior under Matthew, and his escape ability is naturally first-class, and the forests of Turin are full of hills, even if it is a nightmare, it will encounter a large slope that cannot be climbed... Not to mention that he can't catch up, even if he can, he shouldn't waste time on that kind of person, his first task is to protect the little princess. ”

After listening to Gauldos's explanation, Belia couldn't help but be stunned, she scratched her head, showed an unknown expression, and said, "Okay... I'm sorry, but you're here to protect me. ”

Don Quixote looked at Gaudus and nodded slightly. The last time he was at the gates of Turin, he couldn't afford to pay for the entrance fee, but it was Gaudus who helped him.

And this time, it was Gaudus who saved him.

He leaned over to Gauldos and whispered in a voice that only each other could hear, "Thank you... I have a hard time. ”

Godos looked at him deeply and said, "I believe in you, you must have your reasons, but I hope you don't get emotional in the future... Emotions come at a cost, even with lives. ”

Don Quixote shook his head and said, "I understand." ”

Gaudus sighed, although he didn't know what happened between Don Quixote and Robert, at least, they had a friendship, and even a good relationship.

"You don't understand, Don Quixote." Gao Duo pointed at Belia and said, "Robert is Matthew's subordinate, and the target he wants to eliminate is not only you and me, but also the little princess!" We're all his enemies, you know? You can't just think about yourself, you have to think about others. ”

Don Quixote was slightly stunned, and then said: "I understand, the little princess will be fine, at least until I die, no one can hurt him." ”

"Don Quixote—" Gados finally understood the meaning of the name, and sighed, "O noble and pedantic knight. ”

"Really?" Don Quixote suddenly remembered what Robert had said to himself before leaving:

"Don Quixote, from now on, you are no longer my friend, and the next time we meet, I will kill you, I swear."
