Somewhere in the Gobi Desert not far from the forest sanctuary.

This barren Gobi is covered with sleekly shaped stones, which are as small as a human head and as large as a house, and look out of place against the backdrop of the Gobi. Perhaps in ancient times, the world of Iber also experienced the same ice age as the earth, so the same gravel remains are displayed here as the earth's ice age.

At this moment, two figures stood beside a huge stone with a diameter of more than five meters.

Li Xiang's eyes were fixed on the boulder in front of him, and his hands tightly grasped the handle of the war hammer. I don't know what the reason is, Li Xiang's arms faintly have green tendons, and at the same time, there are faint streamers on the entire war hammer.

Suddenly, Li Xiang let out a loud cry and slammed his hammer into the boulder in front of him.

"Boom !!!!"

Where the hammer was struck, large cracks immediately appeared in the boulder. At the same time, the entire boulder rose off the ground with Li Xiang's blow, and was knocked away into the distance. At the same time, in the process of flying, spilled debris that was shattered along the way.

The boulder flew a distance of nearly 50 meters before it hit the ground with a 'boom', and after landing, it continued to roll forward unabated, until it hit another boulder before stopping.

"Pap, papa, papa, papa......" Yang Qianyu, who was watching from the sidelines, applauded lightly when he saw this, and praised at the same time: "Good ball!" Followwind！ ”

"Whew-Cool !!" After knocking the boulder into the air with one blow, Li Xiang took advantage of the situation to carry the war hammer on his shoulder with one hand and let out a long breath. "The power of this 'heavy attack' of the Lv3 effect is really extraordinary."

"Looks like you're very happy with your sub-skills, boss." Yang Qianyu said with a smile.

"Satisfied! Of course satisfied! Li Xiang laughed. This time, Lao Tzu finally has an attack skill! You don't have to be beaten as an MT monster when you are fighting. ”

After laughing out loud, Li Xiang slammed the ground with his hammer in high spirits, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Look at the move-thunder strike!" ”

I saw that the war hammer smashed the ground violently, and the ground immediately cracked a large area under the heavy hammer impact, and at the same time, the crack extended a distance of nearly ten meters to all sides.

"It's good if you like it (it seems that the boss has accumulated a lot of resentment in the previous battles)." Yang Qianyu thought secretly while congratulating Li Xiang. He didn't care about Li Xiang's madness and the wanton destruction of his surroundings - then again, it was no wonder that Li Xiang would be so out of shape. Although the Paladin's professional inheritance is impeccable in defense, it is slightly lacking in attack ability, especially the attack skill is only a pitiful half (the Divine Light skill is only lethal to demonic and undead monsters, and it is more useful to heal the injuries of teammates, so it can only be regarded as half an attack skill). Therefore, in every team battle, Li Xiang acts as a 'humanoid shield' or a 'humanoid target', which naturally makes him depressed.

After learning about the abilities of the Tree of Wisdom, Li Xiang immediately took the initiative to build three more Trees of Wisdom in the base, and immediately used them after they were built, gaining the permission to learn sub-skills. After some selection, Li Xiang chose some skills that were suitable for his own professional characteristics to learn, and then couldn't wait to find some targets to try his skills. That's why Yang Qianyu had to accompany him to the Gobi Desert on the periphery of the base at this time.

Li Xiang smashed the ground into a mess with great interest, and then pumped the surrounding boulders everywhere like playing golf. It wasn't until all the boulders in the vicinity were blown away that they stopped.

"Having fun?" Seeing Li Xiang stop, Yang Qianyu asked with a smile on the side.

“…… Still not too enjoyable. Li Xiang smacked his lips and said, "Maybe it's because the targets of the attack are all dead things, so I lack some feeling." ”

"Then I can't help it." Yang Qianyu spread her hands helplessly when she heard this. "I can't find a live target for you to play with for a while."

"Forget it then." Seeing that Yang Qianyu was embarrassed, Li Xiang accepted it when he saw it. "Anyway, the battle in the future is indispensable, and there is always a chance for me to try my recruitment."

"Then let's go back, it's not too early." Yang Qianyu looked up at the sky. "It's almost evening. I don't think it's a good idea to blow the night breeze in this wilderness. ”

With that, the two got up and turned back to the base. By the time they reached the Forest Sanctuary, the horizon of the western land was engulfing the last rays of sunlight.

In addition to Xue Xiaojing, who was stationed and took care of the construction of the base during this time, there was also Lu Yuan, who had just arrived.

"Boss! Brother Yang! After seeing Li and Yang returning, Lu Yuan immediately greeted them.

"Lu Yuan? What are you doing here? Seeing Lu Yuan's sudden arrival, Li Xiang couldn't help but be surprised, and then immediately thought of something, and asked with a solemn face: "Is there something going on in the manor?" ”

"It's not our business. But it also has something to do with us. Lu Yuan replied.

"Don't sell it. Let's put it bluntly. Yang Qianyu urged on the side.

"That's right." Lu Yuan succinctly recounted: "The family of Count Cassya is a sworn enemy, and the Bilgard family of Manchado Town has launched an invasion of the Prailly Territory. Manchado's army has now besieged the fortress of Fort Hump, which borders the territory of Prairly. ”

"What? How so? Li Xiang jumped up in shock when he heard this.

"Hump Fort?" Yang Qianyu said after pondering for a while. "I think that's where Lord Wusack is stationed, right?"

The 'Lord Wusak' referred to by Yang Qianyu is one of the five subordinate lords and nobles under the command of Count Kasha, and an old subordinate of the Leopold family who served Kasha in the era. Moreover, Lord Woosack is also related to the Hawke family, where the two sisters, Luna Maria and Meiling, belong by marriage, and Lord Woosack's cousin is the mother of the two Hawke sisters.

"When Count Cassa issued the assembly order, Meiling happened to be a guest at our manor." Lu Yuan continued: "After learning that Hump Fort was attacked, Meiling immediately took her leave and went to the military camp outside the town to report and prepare to go to the rescue. Shi Jinxin went with him without permission because he was worried that Meiling would be in danger, but Brother Fu Bin couldn't persuade him, so he could only send Brother Hu (Zhang Boyin) and Dapeng (Ruan Kunpeng) to take care of him. Others are on standby at the estate. ”

"Shi Jinxin, this guy is really messing around!" Xue Xiaojing on the side couldn't help but complain.

"Don't say that." Yang Qianyu persuaded on the side: "Because we are worried about the safety of our sweetheart, we are in a mess (Shi Jinxin and Meiling Hawke are in love with each other, and everyone knows it), it is understandable - but in this way, we must also be prepared to assist Prailly to repel the incoming enemy." After persuading Xue Xiaojing, Yang Qianyu said solemnly to Li Xiang: "Boss." We should now return to the manor and gather our forces to help in the battle at Humpback Fort. ”

"Okay." Li Xiang responded: "Let's leave now." ”

"Please boss, you and Lu Yuan and Li Jifeng go and join your companions first." Yang Qianyu continued: "I will immediately recruit another batch of alchemy soldiers now, and I will arrive after I am ready." ”

"What about me?" Xue Xiaojing asked on the side.

"Xiaojing, you'd better stay at the base first." Yang Qianyu saw that Xue Xiaojing seemed to be about to object, and hurriedly explained: "Now that Shen Huan and the others are in retreat in the base, it will be bad if there is no one left to take care of them. It would be too late to send other companions from the manor, so you would have to stay here. ”

“…… All right. "Xue Xiaojing had no choice but to compromise after weighing it." Then you have to be careful. ”

"Don't worry." Yang Qianyu responded with a smile, and then said to Li Xiang: "Without further ado, let's go our separate ways." ”

"Okay."
