Russell walked with the Norn and the four for a long time, and finally reached the Holden Heights marked on the map at dusk. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Horden Heights is located in the southwest corner of Varian Peak, although the terrain is not extremely high, the whole hill can be uprooted and convex in the dense forest, and the top of the mountain can wish to be more than 20 miles in radius, and there is only one mountain road up the mountain, and there are huge trees on the mountain to cover, it is really a good place to lie dormant and wait.

Due to the peculiarity of this place, it must be the first choice of all the Nieo teams in the next process of taking the opportunity to climb Varian's peak. Fortunately, when Russell and the others came up, there was no one around, but it was the best reward for them to travel all night for these two days.

However, Russell, who had really been involved in this joint exercise, did not dare to be careless at all, and after the five of them settled down in their own place, he instructed everyone not to take it lightly, and on the other hand, he set a trap with Norn, who still had spare strength. The two of them worked until the sun went down, and then they came back to join the other three.

At this time, Bate, Pierce, and Dom had also finished resting, and the three of them were rushing to take over the responsibility of keeping watch at night, but Russell had a solemn face, took out the map from the backpack behind him, and spoke.

"Let's put the matter of who rests and who is sentry first, and from now on we have to discuss the rest of the matter!"

Russell pointed to two places on the map and said, "The Horden Heights where we are located are here, and the Varian Peak is here, and the distance between the two is only twenty miles. At our speed, it would take less than an hour to get there from here. And we are facing the main road up to Varian's Peak, so to speak, from the moment we ascend this good place, we should be ready to face the enemy......"

These words instantly made the other people's newly relaxed mood tense. Seeing that they were a little nervous, Russell smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, I just want to remind you that there will be no emergencies when the time comes...... Actually, we are the first to come up, and we also have an advantage! At this point, his gaze fell on Norn, "Norn, tell them what we just discovered!" ”

Norn smiled slightly, got up and pointed to a cliff against his back, and said, "When I was setting a trap with my eldest brother halfway up the mountain, I found that there was a way to go directly to the cliff over there......"

"Cliffs?" Bate vaguely guessed Norn's intentions, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that if we can't defeat the team that grabbed this place, we will escape from there?" ”

Norn smiled and said, "Yes! ”

Bet hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, no!" This high ground is not high, but if we fall from here, we will definitely die again! I'd rather disarm and surrender when the time comes......"

"Surrender your size!" Norn scolded with a "phew" and slapped Bate's head in anger. Bate didn't react, he slapped him, and he jumped and scolded: "Norn, what do you kid want to do?" ”

Russell had seen these two people quarrel countless times, and hurriedly pulled the two apart to persuade: "Okay, okay, you two...... When is it now, still messing around! When the two of them retreated angrily, they continued Norn's words, "It's not that we just jump down...... I mean, let's get ready before anybody comes up, and if we can make a rope, if something happens, we can slide directly from the cliff to the path, and then ......" and said my thoughts.

Bate was a hundred convinced of Russell, and Russell's explanation immediately dispelled his worries, cheering for Russell while burying Norn: "You stupid, wouldn't it be better if you explained like Russell?" ”

"Humph!" Norn blushed and retorted, "That's what I didn't finish, who wants you kid to take it out of context?" ”

"You ......"

"Alright!" Seeing that the two younger brothers were going to quarrel again, Russell hurriedly played a round, and then ordered: "Don't quarrel about this little thing first!" Bette, the three of you just rested for a while, and you'll take my place with Norn first. The three of you, one of you should go to the designated place to stand guard, and two of you should look around to see if you can find more hay and dead branches......"

Pierce asked, "What do you want so much hay and dead branches for?" ”

The impatient Norn laughed and scolded: "Stupid, you don't know this? Braided rope! ”

"I ......"

Russell suddenly felt a headache, this old brother was nervous and scheming, and in the blink of an eye, he pulled the hatred of a partner.

"Alright, alright! Pierce, leave this stinky boy alone! You just have to pay attention, just find more hay and dry branches, the more the better, and I can't explain it for a while......"

Russell waved his hand: "Norn, come with me, we have to recuperate, and it will be up to us to face the enemy head-on in the next two days!" With that, he dragged Norn away.

I have to say that in this temporary five-person team, in addition to Russell, the strongest combat effectiveness is Norn. Originally, he was the most fearless of these people, and after receiving Russell's guidance these days, his strength naturally improved by leaps and bounds, leaving Bate and the three of them far behind.

The three of them shook their heads, and had no choice but to accept Russell's orders. After some deliberation, Bate was put on guard, and Pierce and Doom searched all over the hilltop for the so-called hay and dead branches.

After a few hours of busy work, Pierce and Doom had scooped up almost all the hay and dead branches they could find, and fell into a deep sleep, leaving Bate alone to keep watch.

The night's calm finally passed when the east dawned. Bet kept watch all night, and was half-asleep and half-awake wondering if he could find that bastard Norn to change the guard, but suddenly heard a long howl from the place where the others were resting, and directly woke him up.

"Could it be that Norn's stupid guy is screaming again?" Because the distance was too far away, he couldn't hear who was making the sound, and after hesitating for a while, he decided to go over and see what was going on.

trotted all the way, only to find that all four of Russell had woken up, and Norn was still patting Russell's shoulder vigorously and saying something.

"What's wrong, what's going on?" He asked.

Seeing that it was Bate, Norn said proudly: "Haha, I have good news for you, my eldest brother's magic has been refined to another level!" I'm not afraid of anyone this time! ”

"One more level?" Bate was stunned, looked at Russell, and saw that his whole face was radiant, and his temperament was different from yesterday, and he was amazed in his heart. It's just that when he looked at Norn's smug expression, he hated it even more, and said in his heart: "Why is Russell not my eldest brother?" ”

It turned out that during the last Brenda mission, Russell told the secret of his inner strength to those present. Just to avoid unnecessary trouble, he lied about Nei Gong as a unique family magic. From that day on, on the one hand, he practiced internal skills generously, and on the other hand, because of the saying of "family secret skills", he only passed on his internal skills to his younger brother Norn.

After more than a long period of more than a month, Russell finally broke through the bottleneck of the fifth layer last night after a night of sprinting and reached the sixth layer of the Taiping Inner Rest Heart Legal Department-Xisheng.

At this moment, Russell only felt that the internal force in his body was full, and his body was full of strength, and the meridians were even more moisturized by the sufficient internal force, and he was a little ready to move. Experiencing the various changes brought about by the internal strength after reaching the sixth layer, Russell's mood was even better.

He looked at the various expressions of the four younger brother-like characters in front of him, thought for a moment, and said, "Bet, Pierce, Doom, you three don't have to be too envious!" Although I have this set of ...... Magic was developed by my own father with the utmost effort to pass it on to outsiders, but he also taught me many other skills, and when the drill is over, I will definitely teach them to you! ”

The eyes of the three named people lit up, and they asked in unison, "Do you mean it really?" They now admire the "biological father" that Russell spoke of, and believe that the "other skills" that Russell spoke of must be no worse than this "peace magic".

Russell smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Of course it's true, can't you still trust me?" ”

Only then did the three of them smile, glaring at Norn defiantly from time to time.

The three of Bate were satisfied, but Norn was a little unhappy, he hurriedly grabbed Russell and begged: "Big brother, then you must teach me when the time comes!" ”

Russell grimaced and asked, "What level of your magic cultivation has you reached now?" ”

Norn thought for a moment and replied, "It should be the third layer you said ...... 'strong'!" After speaking, "Papa" punched the air twice, and his eyes were full of smugness that could not be hidden.

Russell couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart: "Good boy, it took more than a month for the uncle to reach the third layer, and you can do it in a few days?" Although he was a little jealous, he didn't care too much because he was a "local person", and his control over the qi and physical strength of this heaven and earth was stronger than his own.

Although he was happy for Norn in his heart, Russell still didn't give him a good look and said, "Hmm...... Not bad! But don't get too complacent! It took me a whole year to get from the fifth floor to the sixth floor, and I hope you're ready! I told you before, I won't teach you anything else until you reach the fifth level of magic! ”

In fact, Russell himself practiced both internal and external skills at the same time, and during this time, he also had some insights, the higher the level of internal skills, the faster he mastered the external skills such as swordsmanship, and the more he could comprehend the essence of it. Therefore, he has this plan, and it is also for the good of Nuoen, hoping that he can lay a good foundation for internal strength in advance, so as not to make a fork in the road when learning martial arts such as swordsmanship or sword technique.

Of course, it's no wonder that he is only partial to Norn. First, Norn is his relative in this world, not to mention that the Clay family regards him as their own child, just by knowing Norn, he has enough confidence to pass on his skills to this younger brother. This second, although Bate has a good relationship with him, after all, this person's timid and fearful personality does not please Russell, and Pierce and Doom are only friends who temporarily cut in the queue, and they don't have such a deep relationship and feelings, so he naturally doesn't feel so relieved to teach them these things that can be called plug-ins.

Norn naturally failed to understand Russell's good intentions, and after listening to Russell's words, he was both frustrated and a little annoyed, and lowered his head sullenly. The three Bate couldn't help but snicker when they saw Norn's deflated appearance.

Russell saw Norn's appearance, and felt a little unbearable in his heart, and wanted to say some comforting words, but as soon as his ears moved, he suddenly heard an abnormal noise in the distance.
