Brando followed her gaze and almost threw the Thorn of Light out with the sword and sheath with a shake of his hand.

What's going on?

Between the jagged rocks below the canyon, on one side are clusters of shrub-like monsters, trailing the corpse witch Kabuka as they climb upwards like the Kuroshio Tide. On the other side, in his field of vision, a slender figure was trying to climb up the rugged mountain path, carrying a huge package with a sword hanging from it, and her slender ponytail rose and fell with the maiden as she leaped forward on the stone wall.

Freya?

Brando rubbed his eyes, almost thinking he was wrong. But he would be wrong, but Roman would not, and Miss Merchant's face was nervous—that was Freya. But shouldn't she have gone with Madden to the Dagger River, why was she here? Brando didn't believe she would leave her Third Militia Detachment behind.

"It's Freya, Brando."

"I saw it, don't make a noise, I'll figure it out!"

"Brando, Freya will be overtaken, we need to help her, right—" The merchant lady asked, turning her head and eagerly asking.

"No, Roman. I don't need your help, I'll figure it out. ”

It's a pity that he doesn't even dare to have a crazy heart now, this situation is very delicate, but the key to changing the situation is not in his hands, but whether Lord Martha is in a good mood today. But unfortunately, it doesn't look good.

On the other side, too, Brando looked back to see that the corpse witch had unhesitating to remove his calf bone, allowing the wilted beast that had grabbed it to slide back into the horde. Then the other man rolled over and crawled up the rocks with a pair of bony hands, its 1.7 energy levels strong enough to support a pair of bones that were not too heavy to rush between the rocks - only Kabuka finally stepped up, but he flattered.

Kabuka looked up, the frightened and angry face of the young human man on the rock reflected in the green flames in his eyes. It felt something familiar to the Life Ripple at first, but it didn't matter to an undead spirit, as it had already raised its bone staff and swung it at Brando.

The dregs of humanity, it thought to itself.

Brando finally couldn't care so much about this, he choked and drew his sword, the thorn of light shining brightly in the darkness, and he stabbed down into Kabuka's skull—and with a soft click, a golden flame shot out of the corpse witch's forehead that had broken a gap, and burned in all directions.

"Click-" Kabuka's voice jammed in his throat, Brando's sword was so fast that it didn't even have time to react before it felt like its eternal life was coming to an end.

It thought it was going to be a big corpse witch.

It fell back with all its might, but the young man grabbed its bony hand downward, and Kabukaleng froze, wondering why the other man had saved him. But it is the spirit of the dragon of calamity, how can it accept the help of a lowly human being? Just as Kabuka was struggling, he saw the other party neatly tear off the ring on his index finger phalanx.

"Damn! This dregs of humanity, robbers......"

Three lessons learned.

That was Kabuka's last thought, and the soul fire in his eyes was extinguished. However, Brando was surprised that this corpse witch actually had a nice ring - the Ring of the Spider Web, +0.2 perception, a familiar pattern, he had one before, and he never lost it in order to commemorate it.

Perception is a symbol of a character's ability to perceive the dimensions in which they are located, using the senses of hearing, smell, sight, touch, and taste to refine the perception of space and matter. This is a very important attribute in the game, when there was a low-level dungeon 'Public Crypt' in Pragues, because open flames could not be used in the dungeon, and the player team had to constantly dodge a set high-level monster in the intricate underground tunnels, so the equipment with high perception and dexterity was very sought-after for a while.

This ring was given to him by a friend of Brando, and it was really bitter to think about it at the time, he almost went bankrupt in order to raise a set of 10oz perception outfits, and in the end, he still didn't get through the 'public grave'.

At the mention of the 'Public Graveyard', he suddenly remembered that there was a good thing for a warrior in that dungeon, the Badge of Courage, and +2 military swordsmanship. He slapped his head and almost forgot about this stubble, he didn't care about it back then.

"Brando, Brando!" Roman's voice was full of anxiety.

Brando was shocked, the businessman's eldest lady is usually not in such a hurry, could it be that something happened to Freya? He hurriedly threw away the bone rack in his hand and looked back, just in time to see a withered beast catching up with Freya from behind, scurrying up the sharp rock, reaching out its twig-like claws to hook the strap of the girl's backpack, and then pulling her backwards.

"Freya, be careful!" Miss Merchant' let out an 'ah', and she stood up and picked up her skirt and wanted to run down. But Brando retrieved the girl who didn't know what was going on. Just kidding, how can you let her help at this time.

"You stay here for me!" He tossed the Ring of the Webs to Roman and told her to keep it.

There is a limit to how a character can equip magic items, and in the witch's opinion, it has to do with the source of one's magic power, but for Brando, a level 2 mercenary carrying a total of 40 oz of power is already the sky.

"Okay, Brando, but ......"

But Brando glanced around, and saw that it was not safe to leave the reckless merchant lady here. As soon as he pulled out the thorn of clear light before, the brilliance shone on the four fields, and he had already become the target of everyone, and leaving Roman here at this time would probably attract an attack.

If little Roman was injured, it would be a great death. But Freya is also in danger, he has long regarded this persistent and kind-hearted girl as his most valuable companion, how can he be indifferent?

It's a real dilemma.

Of course, these thoughts passed through Brando's mind for a moment. At the bottom of the valley, Freya struggled to break free from the withered beast's claws, struggled forward two steps and fell again—she had seen both of them, and a glimmer of hope came to her panicked eyes.

"Brando—" Before she could finish her sentence, she dragged her back.

"Draw your sword!" Brando shouted.

"It's wrapped around my backpack, and I can't reach—"

This idiot! Brando decisively handed the Thorn of Light to Roman: "This sword can be used to restrain them and protect themselves!" ”

"What about you, Brando?"

The young man shook his head and motioned for her not to worry, turned and ran in Freya's direction. , anyway, it's not the first time, and Master Martha likes to joke with him, so let's do it.

But just like in the game, the monster always likes to give priority to the weak - he hasn't jumped two levels before a humanoid bush covered in thorns has stopped him.

Blighted Beast Hatchling, Level 7 Monster, Strength 2.2 Energy Levels, Constitution 3 Energy Levels, Dexterity 1.2 Energy Levels, Dark Attributes, Fire Weakening, Slash Weakening, Piercing Half-free. Memories of the past come to Bbrando's mind like flowing water, and one of the characteristics of plant-based monsters is their high physique, but agility is often their weakness - not to mention the dark attributes, weak fire, and weak slashing, and the Thorn of Light is simply their natural nemesis.

It's a pity that he doesn't have it at hand, and he can't help but grit his teeth in his heart and curse the current situation. The only thing he could rely on now was 2.1 energy level dexterity, and he didn't plan to entangle with the other party.

But it didn't seem like the blighted beast hatchling had any idea of agreeing with him, and it had already pounced on him with a rattling sound. Although the blighted beast is humanoid, it also runs on all fours, and looks like an uncivilized savage.

Brando dodged his claws sideways, and the spikes swept across his forehead, making a few bloody streaks - fortunately it wasn't an undead, otherwise the carrion poison in his body would have deepened even further.

But before he could rejoice, a line of dark green text had been cast on the retina:

"Urgent Warning: Paralyzing Toxin Intrusion."

I'll go! Unexpectedly forgot about this one, Brando almost scolded. Because they were all more than twenty levels before, they could basically quietly bypass the area of the blighted beast, and he suddenly forgot that this thing attack is still poisonous, although it is only the most insignificant paralyzing toxin, but it is as unbearable as the carrion poison on his body.

But scolding and scolding, he didn't dare to slack off at all. Hold down the opponent's barbed claws with both hands and push it, then target the dark red withered beast next to Freya, and a charge is triggered.

It's still an adult.

He couldn't help but take a deep breath, the strength of the 4.7 energy levels of the blighted beast in the adult body even surpassed that of the gargoyle, and the first-level power was not for fun. It's a little strange, though, that a full-grown blighted beast should have been dragged away by Freya a long time ago, right?

But in any case, Brando flew out with the strength of the blighted beast's larvae, and then completed his turn in mid-air, and as soon as the charge was triggered, the whole person suddenly accelerated over a staggered sharp stone, like a black shadow that was constantly connected on the rock.

Tens of meters away in an instant.

"Release your backpack, Freya!"

But Freya shook her head desperately in her backpack, and she grasped the sharp stone protruding from the side with one hand, almost unable to support it. But Brando finally got there first, "Keep your head down." He let out a low sigh and drew the sword behind Freya's back, and then slashed the strap of the pack that the adult withered beast had grasped—

The dark red humanoid shrub immediately fell backwards from the loss of its center of gravity, and it tried to grasp something to stabilize its balance, but Brando had already kicked it in the chest, causing it to tumble into a deep rock crevice behind it.

The blighted beast is very light, and it will definitely not hang up if it falls like this, but it will not be able to find a way to come up for a while. Seeing this scene, our protagonist breathed a sigh of relief, but he turned around and his tone became extremely harsh:

"Don't you want to die!"

Freya looked up at him with bright eyes, probably not expecting him to be so angry, she pursed her lips, and looked away a little stubbornly.

But Brando suddenly saw that her hands were worn out and covered in blood, and she was stunned for a moment, and she couldn't bear to scold anymore. What's more, now that the crisis has not been resolved, he sighed and pulled her up, and said, "I have a lot to ask you, but I'll talk about it later." Roman is still waiting for us above. ”

"Yes."

Unfortunately, Brando was about to turn back, but saw two golden lights disappear into his chest in a flash. At two points of experience, he looked up in astonishment—to see Roman chasing down with his skirt in one hand and elven sword in the other, and the withered beast hatchling stopped in front of her—and she carefully pierced the heart with a sword, and then turned into a cloud of ashes.

The merchant lady also seemed to be frightened, she didn't expect the sword in her hand to be so powerful!

"Why did you come down too?" Brando suddenly felt the urge to beat this guy up.

"But I thought about it for a moment, Brando, and I don't think I can protect myself."

Brando was momentarily speechless.
