The Blood-Colored Pathogen's defenses have dropped dramatically after being attacked by acid, and Duran's Vampire Scimitar is already able to break through his defenses and cause real damage to him.

In addition, the rest of the Orser pathogens have been removed by Duran, leaving him alone to fight alone, while Duran's side is well-manned, and under the advantages of one another, Duran and others finally occupy the initiative in the battle.

After more than five minutes of grappling, Duran decisively seized the opportunity, used the last flicker of the day, and combined with a powerful attack, finally cut off the head of the blood-colored pathogen.

The head of the blood-colored pathogen was thrown far into the river by Duran, and the nerves of everyone relaxed a little when they saw this scene. There are still many wriggling Osher larvae among the corpses of these Orser pathogens, which is very uncomfortable to look at. Although the vitality of the Oter larvae outside the host body is not tenacious, Duran is not careless, but piles their corpses together and burns them to the ground.

After personally killing the Scarlet Orsher pathogen, Duran's honor points increased by three points, plus the five ordinary Orsher pathogens he destroyed before, he gained eight honor points in this battle, which is not undeniable. And the display below the Butcher of Ulter title quest has also become: [6/10], Duran only needs to kill four more Ether creatures to unlock this title, and enjoy the attack damage bonus against evil creatures that comes with the title.

However, Othur creatures are not so easy to meet, and Duran himself has no interest in actively dealing with them. They cleaned up a little, and Duran rested for a while, ran to the platform and captured the young dragon, and then took the six dragon eggs intact in his arms, and then returned with a full load.

The group took advantage of the sunset to cross the gentle river, who knew that just after crossing the river, a staggering figure rushed out of the forest.

"Kate?" Duran frowned, a little surprised.

At this time, the silver-haired warlock had long since lost his original attire, and his clothes were in tatters, which made him look particularly embarrassed. If it weren't for the fact that Duran had been with her for a short time, I am afraid it would have been difficult to recognize her.

"Duran!" When Kate saw Duran and his party, she immediately showed a look of surprise, and then she looked behind her vigilantly, and rushed over quickly and said, "It's good to see you." ”

Duran asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Kate's face became serious, she twisted her fingers in a tangled way, and suddenly said, "We're in a little trouble......"

"You guys?" Duran keenly grasped the suspicion in her words.

Kate's face turned red and she was a little embarrassed and said, "We'...... Mean, me and Sean. ”

Duran sighed, and then said no more.

The rest of the people looked like they were watching a good show, but Ned flew up and down, looking like he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

Kate bit her lip, glared at the little fat man who was jumping up and down, and explained softly, "Duran, things are not what you imagined...... Time is running out and I may not have time to explain too much to you, but you must know that there is an Othur pathogen in this forest, and although I haven't seen the Oteri, I'm afraid they're nearby! ”

"I just fought them, and they are so numerous that I can't do it alone. Sean was captured by them. Kate showed a hint of pleading: "I'm afraid this is not so simple, once the time is delayed for too long, Sean is afraid that he will be infected into an unconscious monster." ”

"So you want me to save him?" Upon hearing that Kate and Sean had also been attacked by the Othur pathogen, Duran couldn't help but feel a little heavy, but instead of showing it, he asked rhetorically with unusual calm.

Kate pleaded, "Duran, I know he's a little disrespectful to you, but for my sake...... Or, for the sake of him being a member of the black-clothed people, save him. You're the only one around here who has the ability to do that. ”

Duran remained silent.

At this moment, Jamal suddenly coughed and stepped forward and said, "Miss Kate, I'm afraid your request is too difficult for us. ”

Kate was stunned for a moment, looking at Jamal for some reason.

Seeing that Duran didn't say anything to stop him, the veteran was relieved and continued: "I can't hide it, if I have the ability to help, I don't think Lord Duran will refuse." But we've just gone through two battles, and do you see the corpses of the two-legged wyverns on the other side of the river? We fought to the death against four adult wyverns, and although we killed them, we were also devastated. Not to mention the sudden emergence of the Othur pathogen in the small group after the elimination of the Wyverns, I honestly think it's a miracle that our group was able to stand in front of you without falling to the ground - if it weren't for Lord Duran's whimsy to come up with a way to contain one of the elite monsters in the Othur pathogen team, I'm afraid that some of us would have been infected or devoured. ”

"What?" Kate's face turned pale: "You also encountered the Othur pathogen?" ”

Duran nodded, and said with a little regret: "We are running out of physical strength now, if there is even a little extra physical strength, I will go with you to rescue Sean." But as you can see, our group is exhausted, and most of the rest of us except me have lost their ability to fight, and you see Seamus's right hand, and his iron arms and thighs...... We must get back to the Three Towns as soon as possible and inform Lord Sinclair of the presence of Orsher's pathogen here...... And, of course, Lord Rudy. ”

Kate clasped her hands together and clasped her chest, revealing a look of disappointment: "So, is Sean really hopeless?" ”

Duran sighed and said, "Kate...... I'm sorry. Now that you've found us, let's go back together, maybe go back sooner and find the two adults, they may have a way. ”

With that, he took a few steps forward, and the rest of the group followed, except for Kate who stood still.

"You're a liar! Duran. Kate said suddenly, with a hint of pleading in the silver-haired warlock's eyes: "You must have a way, you also encountered those Othur pathogens just now, you must have learned something." ”

Jamal frowned and said, "Miss Kate, we're really exhausted. And even if we had the strength, where were we going to save your friend? Orshur's pathogens are so elusive that we don't know where their nests are—maybe by the time we do, your friend will have become one of Orsher's pathogens. I'm sorry, I may have been a bit impulsive, but the truth is that the monsters of the Othur plane are more terrifying than the plague. ”

Kate didn't answer, she just stared at Duran's back.

"That's right, I guessed a little bit of information." Duran's words made Kate's face suddenly show a hint of surprise, but then she was like an ice cave:

"But why should I put so many loyal companions and even myself in danger in order to save a guy who has repeatedly offended me? Kate, you know, the Oter monsters and the Peony Cultists are not for nothing. ”

Duran looked back at her steadily, the setting sun shining on his face, looking a little tired.

"Repeatedly?" Kate muttered.

"He wants to let go of that juvenile wyvern, right?" Duran smiled lightly, "I wonder if you succeeded in stopping him from making this stupid decision?" ”

Kate smiled bitterly: "So you already knew. ”

Duran said calmly, "In all fairness, I won't bother with Sean. But want me to take a huge risk to save an irrelevant person...... I'm sorry, but I'm not that virtuous yet. I only care about my own people. ”

The silver-haired warlock covered his face in pain and sobbed faintly: "Duran, please, Sean, Sean him, he is my good friend...... is also the first love. ”

Duran was silent.

"Although we broke up a long time ago, there was another reason why it was impossible for me to watch him die."

Duran still didn't answer, but Abu and Ned showed a look of impatience.

"Well, Duran, I know there's no way you're going to change your mind because of me. So this kind of thing, I don't know if it can make you change your mind? Kate spread her right hand out and handed it to Duran.

Duran silently looked at the glittering thing in her palm, reached out and took it, and then said:

"Deal." (To be continued.) )
