South of the city.

On the slippery mountain road, a tall fiery red horse galloped with its long mane flying and its hooves galloping vigorously, and its strong iron hooves were full of power with every step.

Ivan rode his horse very experienced, and Wang Mu sat behind him, their clothes vibrating violently in the mountain wind, and the biting cold wind of early spring was enough to freeze any unsuspecting person to the point that his hands and feet were stiff and his face turned blue.

However, Ivan and Wang Mu had ruddy faces, obviously not affected by the cold wind at all, and saw that both of them were faintly glowing with a layer of light, the former was a faint cyan light, and the latter was a red light, this insignificant light could make the two of them warm like spring.

The yellow and green woods flashed back like waterfalls on both sides of Wang Mu, forming thousands of intoxicating rays of light and shadow, which were dizzying.

"Huh~" Ivan suddenly tightened the reins, and then the galloping horse stopped neighing, and then Wang Mu and the two jumped off the horse.

Ivan looked at the place in front of him and said, "According to the mission information provided by the Mercenary Guild, this is the place where the berserk lion beast appeared last night. As he spoke, he tied his horse to the side of the road and began to search carefully the road, which had become smooth and clean after being washed by the rain overnight.

It wasn't long before he found half of an arrow with its tail feathers broken on the trunk of a dead tree on the side of the road.

Ivan pulled the broken arrow from the tree and held it in his hand for a long time before he smiled evilly: "They didn't tell me there was a fight here! It seems that our esteemed employer apparently suffered from temporary amnesia or deliberately concealed something when he provided information to the guild. ”

In the Roland Empire, it is illegal to catch or sell or buy Warcraft without official permission, and it is a very dangerous job to capture or sell Warcraft, and the employer who issued this task did not say anything about the fight, obviously because he did not want people to know the real reason for this.

Thinking of this, the corners of Ivan's mouth showed a hint of amusement, which he had encountered before, and his approach was to use evidence to prove that his employer deliberately concealed the truth in order to take advantage of the opportunity to get more paid.

He's always done that, after all, people always have to pay for their actions, especially stupid behavior, don't they?

Ivan put the broken arrow in his bag and began to search around again.

Wang Mu on the side didn't know anything about it, but he also enthusiastically learned from Ivan to look for it in the withered yellow weeds on the side of the road, and he didn't know what luck he took, but he really saw a small piece of pale yellow fur the size of his thumb on a branch on the side of the road.

Wang Mu said happily: "Brother Ivan, I found a small piece of fur. ”

Ivan walked over in surprise, picked up this piece of fur and studied it over and over again, and said with a smile after a moment: "That's right, this belongs to the mad lion beast, it seems that the guy we are looking for should be injured, this is really God help us both!"

After saying that, Ivan glanced around, leaned over and looked at the dense woods below the mountain, and muttered: "If my guess is correct, this berserk beast should have jumped from here after being injured, so its fur hangs on the branches, let's look around here to see if there are any suspicious traces of the beast." ”

Under the search of the two inch by inch, they found a few messy traces, and the two of them were in high spirits when they saw this, and then they rode on their horses and galloped down the mountain.

After arriving at the foot of the mountain, Ivan took out the crystal ball that could track the demonic beast, and after injecting some magic power into it, he immediately recited a few incantations, and the crystal ball began to gush out bursts of magical light.

Wang Mu leaned over curiously, only to see that after the crystal ball light dissipated, it really showed that there was a particularly bright bright spot flickering not far from them.

Ivan pondered for a moment and said, "This highlight seems to be a second-level demonic beast, it should be the mad lion beast we are looking for this time, but what is the matter with these small highlights next to it?"

At Ivan's suggestion, Wang Mu also noticed that a few slightly darker bright spots were approaching the biggest bright spot in the middle at a very fast speed.

Wang Mu looked at Ivan, who was frowning and thinking, and couldn't help but propose: "Why don't we go over and have a look first, and then make a decision!"

Hearing this, Ivan nodded and said, "It's okay, let's go over and have a look first, and when we understand the situation, we can improvise." ”

Unable to walk in the woods on horseback, the two had to tie their horses to the side and rush to the target point on foot.

Wang Mu and the two of them were very fast, like a gust of wind in the woods flying fast, from time to time there would be birds and wild things in the forest were startled by the two, but in the woods full of obstacles, it could not affect their speed at all.

At this moment, the dragon dragon also woke up, and it happily got out of Wang Mu's backpack, spreading its wings and shuttling freely and swiftly through the gaps between the trees, its agility and speed enough to eclipse even the best birds.

When Ivan saw this scene, he only smiled faintly, after all, he had already seen Long Long, although he was very envious of Wang Mu in his heart, but this little guy didn't like him at all!

In the woods filled with the smell of decay and dampness, the two and one beast silently sneaked towards the target point on the crystal ball.

After about ten minutes, Wang Mu and the others were very close to their target, and when they came to a hill by a small river at the edge of the dense forest, Ivan gestured, and then both stopped, and they poked their heads out from behind a pile of rocks and grass, and looked out.

After a period of rapid running, Ivan's demeanor was calm and his face was as usual, and he showed no signs of physical loss due to the rapid running of long distances.

On the other hand, Wang Mu was panting for breath at the moment, and his forehead was also sweating, obviously a little struggling.

There is a small river with thin ice at the bottom of the hill, and some yellow and green dead grass grows here and there on both sides of the river, giving people a sense of depression.

At this time, a thrilling fight was taking place on the edge of the creek, adding a little life to the wilderness.

I saw that the three extremely fierce black wolf beasts continued to make low threats, gradually approaching a demonic beast standing on the edge of the river, with a human body and a sheep's hoove, with a lion's head, and on the ground on the bank of the small river lay the corpse of a black wolf beast, only to see that this corpse was torn apart, the internal organs were also hollowed out, and the bare mud around it was stained with many shocking bloodstains, mixed with mud and shredded fur, giving people a sense of blood and tragedy.
