Mountaintop.

Unleash two whistles to kill the remaining elite members of the Syndicate Branch, and a light begins to flicker in Link's vision.

Check it out.

Mission Pursuit completed.

Players receive 25 free points.

Trigger the next mission: Kill the Thief.

Mission: Kill Ender.

Reward: 40 free points.

Link immediately accepted that now, his free points had become 59 points, and he still had 38 points left in his magic energy, and there were still a lot of hole cards, and it was more than enough to kill one Ender.

However, the super high reward of this new mission made Link feel slightly strange in his heart.

'Ender's strength is nothing more than that, killing him is worth 40 free points?' Could it be that something has changed? Or does he have some helpers or hole cards? ’

This reward is a bit outrageous, you must know that his mission to save Greenstone only rewarded 100 free points, why kill a lone thief to get 40 points?

It's not scientific, Link became wary.

Ahead, Ark had already rushed out more than twenty meters, a little far away from them, Link's heart moved, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Ark, stop, stand on guard"

Ark immediately stopped, raised his shield, and made a defensive stance.

Link and Grindan quickly followed, quickly reuniting with Ark.

"Keep walking, slow down, and watch out for your opponent in ambush." Link Road.

As he spoke, Link once again unleashed his aura detection spell on himself, carefully scanning the road ahead. The aura on the road ahead was normal, there was not a trace of discord, and there was no one in ambush.

"Am I overthinking?" Link was a little confused.

But there was no big mistake in being careful, Link still made Ark slow down, anyway, the only opponent who could be seen at the moment was Ender.

He's just a level 3 thief, and even if he escapes from sight, Link can unleash tracking magic, tracking them all the way based on the scent and footprints left by the other party in the forest, just like in Greenstone, when the magician Holm used the Earth Hound to track him.

After a while, the three of them reached the position halfway up the mountain, and Link's aura detection technique still did not find anything abnormal, but strangely, the sense of crisis in his heart became heavier and heavier.

"Stop, something is wrong, something is very wrong." Link frowned.

Magicians usually have very keen senses, and this is especially true of Link with a strong soul.

Link had already felt that the fleeing thieves were a bit fake, and if the game system gave some hints, Link himself already felt that something was wrong, and now, the closer he got to the halfway up the mountain, the stronger the premonition of danger in his heart became, like an overelectricity, which stimulated the pores of his whole body to explode one after another.

Ark and Gridan stood beside Link, silent, waiting for Link's orders.

The two of them were originally just ordinary mercenaries, and in this kind of particularly brain-consuming battle, they were completely blind and couldn't see through the situation at all, and they were used to following Link's orders.

"Why did that Ander hide behind a tree and not leave, was he scared stupid?" Ark asked, under the magic blow that Link had launched earlier, he saw that Ander seemed to be given some hints, and suddenly hid behind a tree, which only escaped, and then he stayed behind the tree and did not appear.

Being reminded by him like this, Link also felt more and more wrong, he was focusing on casting spells just now, and didn't pay attention to this detail, thinking about it at this time, he felt that Ander's reaction was indeed a little wrong.

This guy was unaware, and my magic should have been able to catch him all, but at the last moment, he dodged without warning. If he had discovered my attack, he should have told his team to disperse, but he didn't, and it seemed that even he couldn't figure out why he was hiding, someone should be reminding him! ’

Link's heart moved, and such an idea was born.

But who's reminding you? Link's eyes were blessed with aura, and he looked left and right, trying to find the lurker hiding in the forest, but as before, he found nothing.

But the signs were enough for Link to make more judgments: 'This lurker is very clever in concealment, and can secretly inform Ender, which is a means only a magician, that is, it is very likely that there is a powerful magician hiding in this mountain forest!' ’

As soon as this speculation appeared, Link suddenly had a very reasonable explanation for what he had felt wrong.

Because the opponent was supported by the magician, they were able to quickly boost their morale, and because of the secret notification from the magician, Ender escaped.

It was also because the other party was a magician that he was able to hide Link's eyes.

But where is this magician hiding? Link felt a little bad in his heart, but he didn't flinch, his mind was not disturbed at all, and he still made the most rational judgment: "First of all, this magician should be of a higher level than me, at least in terms of concealment, but in terms of combat effectiveness, he has not reached the place where he crushes me, or is afraid of me, otherwise he will not hide it at all"

Just as Link was thinking, the situation changed again.

Ander, who was hiding behind a tree at the foot of the mountain, suddenly moved, and he sprang out from behind the tree, desperately running away, and as he ran, he roared: "Flamingo, I remember you!" You wait for me! I'm going to make your life worse than death! ”

There was a fierce hatred in his voice, and his face was extremely hideous and distorted, almost like a devil in hell.

Ark was shocked when he heard this, and whispered, "My lord, do you want to chase or not?" ”

He is a mercenary, what he is most afraid of is this kind of unreasonable and psychopathic guy, these people usually have a tendency to destroy, they don't know how to compromise at all, whether it is their own life or someone else's life, he doesn't take it seriously.

Every time he encounters such a person, Ark either hides far away, or cuts the grass and eradicates the roots.

Gridan thought the same way, and he said hurriedly, "My lord, he's going to escape." ”

Both followers were influenced by Ender, and subconsciously urged that if Link was a little weaker and his brain was dizzy, it would definitely be bad to be influenced by them to chase all the way.

The three of them stepped on the trap together, and it was not impossible that the whole army would be annihilated.

Therefore, when the battle is about to be fought, the most important quality of the main general is to remain calm and assertive, although Link is not really in the battle formation at this time, but the reason is similar.

Fortunately, Link is a very assertive person, and he was not affected by Ender, he shook his head: "Don't worry, he can't escape." ”

'The other party suddenly fled at this time, and made such a gesture, nine times out of ten it is the instruction of the magician hidden in the shadows, this way we are all following the other party's escape route chase, if the other party has a helper, set a trap on this route, wouldn't we definitely step on it? ’

Thinking about it this way, Link already had a rough idea of the plan of the lurking magician, and while his heart was slightly cold, he also thought of a countermeasure, and ordered: "Catch up, but there may be traps on the road that these thieves have walked, let's take a detour!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Ark nodded immediately, he gave up the route opened by the syndicate thieves, turned the direction directly, and then relied on the protection of his steel armor to force a way through the dense mountain forest, Link and Gridan followed him, and the speed was not much slower than before.

Along the way, there were no accidents, and the distance between them and Ander was rapidly shortening.

In a bush in the mountain forest, the black-robed magician clutched the wand in his hand tightly, his brows furrowed, the other party was not fooled, the trap was put in vain, and the trick was ineffective.

"He's really not that easy to deal with, no wonder he was able to kill Holm in Greenstone. It seems that there is going to be a tough battle! ”

He took a deep breath, his eyes lit up, and he entered the spellcasting state.
