Chapter 13: The Mountain Lion

The wind howled, and the frightened cries of wild beasts and the sound of fleeing were heard all around.

Song Zheng leaned down on the horse's back, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the hand that grasped the reins trembled slightly, the crossbow had already been re-hung up.

His riding skills are not good, and he can only barely keep up with Bridget and the others at the moment, let alone shoot arrows and hunt on horses.

Due to the complex terrain of the Hillsbrad Hills, there are many wild beasts in number and variety, but Bridget has clearly set her sights on the mountain lion, and although she has encountered wild wolves and wild boars on the way, she has not stopped.

Eventually, they surrounded the mountain lion in a man-tall bush.

The mountain lion was extremely brave, even in the face of many people pursuing, when he found that he was surrounded, he still dared to stop and take the initiative to attack.

Song Zheng had just re-taken the crossbow in his hand, but was stopped by Bridget.

"I'll take care of this lion!" Bridget had already drawn her sword in her hand, and her eyes were full of excitement.

"Okay...... Don't kill it completely, give the lion a breath, and then I'll take care of the fur. Thinking that her trip was to find a fierce beast to temper herself, Song Zheng could only say helplessly, as long as she participated in the killing process of this lion, she should be able to gain experience.

"No problem, I said earlier about this operation, all the prey belongs to you." Bridget said as she jumped off her horse and walked straight to the mountain lion that roared in a low voice.

Watching Bridget walk towards the ferocious mountain lion, Song Zheng's heart began to get nervous for no reason, although he had hunted a lot of beasts, but most of them were captured and then killed using traps, only the last time he fought with the injured wild wolf was quite fierce, but the wolf with a broken leg could not be compared with the hideous mountain lion in front of him anyway.

The mountain lion, when he realized that there was only one man approaching him, seemed to feel slighted, and immediately let out a terrible roar, and pounced on him like lightning.

"Be careful!" Song Zheng and Philip both reminded at the same time.

Bridget did not dodge, but instead held her sword in both hands, and rushed forward as well, intending to collide head-on with the mountain lion.

The speed of both sides was very fast, and before Song Zheng could say the next word reminding her to be careful, Bridget had already collided heavily with the mountain lion.

Song Zheng's heart immediately lifted, although Brigitte was wearing armor, as a woman, she still looked as weak as a willow, as if she could be broken by a collision with a mountain lion that weighed at least twice as much as her.

However, when the sound of the two sides colliding came, a golden light suddenly erupted on Bridget's body.

Although the golden light was very faint, the effect was very good, and in the end, it was the mountain lion that was far above Bridget that was knocked away.

Perhaps even the mountain lion himself thought it was unbelievable, and roared angrily as it rolled on the ground after being knocked away.

But before it could get back to its feet, Bridget had already hurried to follow, and the sharp sword had stabbed neatly into its throat, nailing the mountain lion to the ground.

"Is this the power of the Holy Light......" Song Zheng was not the first time he had seen the power of the Holy Light, the last time Xiao Sally and Bridget treated the wounds on his hands, the healing techniques they used to treat the wounds on his hands were also derived from the power of the Holy Light, but the gentle healing techniques were far less terrifying than the golden light that defeated the mountain lion in front of him.

In the human world of Azeroth, the Light and Arcane magic may be the most powerful of the powers, but magic requires its own research, and the Light requires a very religious faith.

"Alas...... If I could train a paladin at the beginning, it would seem good, I can fight monsters, I can heal, and my social status is not low, maybe I can use the ability of the actor to become popular among thousands of beautiful girls......" Song Zheng sighed in his heart.

However, seeing that the mountain lion's blood gushed out of the wound, and most of them were no longer alive, he hurriedly stepped forward, and then shot an arrow at the mountain lion that was still twitching at close range, and when he saw the arrow shoot into the lion's belly, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"What a good hunter." Philip next to him had a mocking look on his face.

Song Zheng didn't pay attention to this guy's cynicism, but secretly checked his attribute interface after the mountain lion died completely, and saw that his experience points had increased by more than fifty points.

"It seems that one lion is as good as two wolves." Song Zheng was pleasantly surprised.

He has hunted a large number of beasts in the recent past, and has gained more than 3,000 experience points, which is almost half of the level up experience.

If Bridget can kill a hundred mountain lions, then he can easily move up to level two!

However, a hundred mountain lions is not a small number, even if Bridget was very easy when she killed this mountain lion just now, but after all, she still used the power of holy light.

The team began to move on, but after killing the mountain lion, the knights' eyes on Bridget had clearly changed, and Philip kept trying to be courteous.

Song Zheng was always paying attention to his surroundings, he had asked someone to understand the geography of the surroundings before, and knew that the further north he went, the more dangerous it became, especially after entering the range of the Alterac Mountains, where the beasts and monsters would be very powerful, and they were still very far away from the edge of the Alterac Mountains.

"We've strayed from the way we went north, should we go back east and back to the way we were?" Song Zheng asked.

Bridget. Abidis immediately shook his head and said: "No, that road leads to Talenmere, there are too many merchants on that road, there are no fierce beasts anymore, we can directly cross the mountains and forests in front of us from this side, and we should be able to reach the edge of the Alterac Mountains." ”

Song Zheng couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this, it sounded like Bridget herself seemed to be more familiar with this area than him, and his 'guide' was more like a person who came to hug his thighs and mix experience.

"Bridget...... The forest in front of you seems to be Mt. Dalong, and it is said that there are terrifying snow monsters there...... I think it's better to follow the guide's main road, and wait until you reach Talenmere and then head west into the Alterac Mountains. Unexpectedly, this time Philip did not sneer at Song Zheng for the first time, and even agreed with his opinion.

"No, my main target this time is those snow monsters, now ordinary beasts are no longer a threat to me, and only those powerful snow monsters can temper my swordsmanship." Bridget immediately shook her head in refusal, still insisting on continuing to go directly north.
