"Why do you have such big dark circles under your eyes?", Olves looked at them in surprise, the team had already set out from the village, and was walking along the stream that flowed down the mountain, but they were not in good spirits.

"It's not Ankka yet, he's snoring too loudly!", Yulai, Marcas, and Tyne replied in unison, their blazing eyes on Ankka.

The tall and mighty half-giant smiled bitterly awkwardly, and under this gaze, it seemed that he had no other answer to choose from, so he could only nod.

Olwes stared at them suspiciously, and asked, "What about Anka, why do you have such big dark circles under your eyes, like an ape!"

Ankka scratched her head, and all that was left was her voice.

"Forget it, you are all higher than me, and you should know better than me about resting before adventuring. Olves turned her head away and let the team go, which made them breathe a sigh of relief. It's just that Lucia's smile that sees them through makes them a little embarrassed.

Tyan jumped to the front of the team in a few steps, squatted down and brushed the wet soil mixed with slight frost on the ground, and said, "At this temperature, the ice and snow on the peak should not have melted, and the group of monsters is estimated to gather next to the stream at the foot of the mountain to drink water, this tributary will get bigger and bigger, should we avoid the beasts or continue to move forward?"

"Go ahead, most of the remaining beasts in the beast tide are scarred and not worth retreating, and besides, there is a possibility that other squads will come to hunt, and it is safer to join forces and go up the mountain together. ”

"Lucia, what do you think?", the group looked at Lucia, she was the leader of the team, and she made decisions whenever it was time to do so.

"Then come forward. Lucia smiled brightly, "If we're lucky, we'll be able to meet the snow roar leopard peculiar to Manalo Peak, and don't forget, Olwes has promised to conclude a pact for each of us." ”

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up, purely auxiliary magic pets are rare and powerful, "Thunder Roar Wind Leopard" is undoubtedly one of them, its cubs have been sold on the black market for tens of thousands of gold coins, which is enough for more than 100 medium-sized families to live for a lifetime.

Olwes looked at everyone who had quickened their pace and smiled, it was a lot of work to conclude the magic pet contract, but the Dark-Eyed Cat was captured by everyone working together to help her, and equal exchange was the basis for the team members to work together to move forward, and this will not change before and now.

Although Manalu's peak is full of beasts, there are not a few solitary monsters, just a mirelurk disguised as a boulder by the stream slashed Anka's thigh with its huge pincers, and was smashed into a meat shell cake by a furious half-giant, and the poor mirelurk encountered unexpected resistance when it broke the half-giant's thigh.

Under the amazed gaze of everyone, Anka's thigh quickly stopped bleeding, and a blood scar coagulated, as if it was thicker than before.

And at about this moment, the most common and dangerous landform of Manalu Peak--- the dense and continuous forest also appeared in front of them, compared to the darkness and mystery of the Black Forest, the danger of Manalu Peak Forest mainly came from the various magical beasts that were almost integrated into the forest.

According to the half-elf Yulai, it will give the illusion of returning to the Agatha Forest in a state of war.

The two detection magics of "Search" and "Gnostic" maintained by Olwes's time cannot separate all dangers, but when combined with the high-level magic of "sharing", it can make the team's perception of the forest more sensitive and cohesive.

"I really like the feeling of being able to see things that I couldn't see before. Tine turned the dagger in his hand into the cloud of green that surged from the strange trees that writhed wildly in front of him, and he turned his head to dodge the corrosive green liquid that was shot from death, and got rid of the branches that had just been wrapped around and hung weakly, and returned to the ground, and asked.

"You're all right. ”

"It's fine. Olwes unleashed a high-level fire magic "Kidd's Burning at the Charge", spreading from the grass and burning the vines of five or six similar monsters that were entwining Anka's limbs.

Only Lucia and Yulai seem to be the most relaxed, nothing can hold up under Lucia's sword aura, and things related to the wood element generally do not take the initiative to attack the half-elf Yulai.

"You're paddling again, Yulai. Tjeons sighed, "though I know it's inevitable once you're in the forest. ”

Yulai's face was slightly red, and he was a little embarrassed by the slight joke.

"Don't relax, there's more. Ankh gasped and lifted the giant stick again, taking on the main pressure of the team along the way.

A sea of red mixed with white appeared in everyone's perception, and they were taken aback, and gathered their formation, protecting Olwes in the middle.

The sound of fluttering appeared almost at the same time as their figures, and it turned out to be a colony of red bats chasing and devouring the spider ant colony on the ground with their tongues of fire. But this chase was not a one-sided abuse, and from time to time the white crystal spider ants on the ground, which were as big as fists, would spit out wind blades and tear the swooping red bats apart.

It's just that in front of these two groups of demonic beasts that cover the sky and the earth, their team, which happened to stop in front of them, seemed a little small.

"Oh, that's bad luck. I don't know who muttered their hearts.

They were overwhelmed by the tide of sound and ants in an instant, and a circle of light stood out, and Olwes raised her wand and tried her best to open the magical barrier, even a great magician would not be better than she had just done.

Lucia's sunny smile obviously gave a lot of comfort to the pale faces, and she calmly shouted, "Kill the ant king and break through!"

Olwes only lasted two seconds before falling limply, and along with Mia, Ankka was picked up and placed on her shoulder, the half-giant's blood boiling, roaring and swinging the giant rod forward, like a raging beast, sweeping everything in front of it.

"Well done!Ankka!", Lucia shouted, her sharp sword light blooming around Ankka as if out of nowhere, guarding his sides.

Her eyes were always fixed on the approaching Ant King, but she knew that Anka's boiling blood would definitely not be able to support that moment, so she decisively ordered, "Marcas, fly over!"

"How do I fly over?", Marcas had to emerge from the darkness, grabbing Tien with the little short legs, and Yurai, who was guarding the archers, to relieve the air pressure on the team, "I repeat, although I have a pointed nose, I'm not a tengu or a flying banshee!"

Lucia laughed, and the danger in front of her made her even more immersed in the joy of this adventure, and exclaimed, "Anka, throw him!"

Ankka let out a laugh from his nostrils, indicating that he knew what Lucia meant.

"What?" , Marcas shouted.

"Aha!", Ankh freed his left hand, grabbed Markas, circled it, and threw it at the Ant King.

"Don't mention it!", Marcas only felt the blood in his body rush to his head for a moment, and as soon as he bit the tip of his tongue, he was sober and roared away in the wind.

Marcus flickered in the air and suddenly disappeared, making the squirping red bats pounce in the air, while the ant king ran, two huge eyes vigilantly scanned around the air where Marcus disappeared, even if the monster has no language, it does not mean that the monster has no wisdom.

A pitch-black short knife flashed out of the void and pierced the center of the ant king's eyebrows, its sharp scream could not stop the strange energy from scurrying in its brain, blowing its head to pieces, except for a few red-eyed spider ants who were still searching for the figure of Marcus who disappeared immediately after the assassination, most of the spider ants fled in all directions like headless flies.

"It's your turn, Tyne, to distract the spider ants in front of us!"

"I know!", Tyne's face was bitter, and he pulled a delicate gold bottle from his waist, "Remember to wait for me, great Tyne......"

"Ouch, got it, you're going!", a smiling Lucia kicked the dwarf out.

The golden bottle in Tyn's hand shattered, and a stream of colorful liquid spilled on his body, and a strong smell emanated, and the scattered ant colony that was about to collide with the team suddenly turned sharply, and it was straight behind Tyrne.

The gnome flicked away from the ground at a rapid speed, billowing steam spewing out of the metal tailpipe behind his ass, and his particularly miserable screams were comical to match the image of the escape.

Olwes finally woke up, laughed at the scream, and gave Anka a high-level magic called the "Fountain of Recovery", and his slowed pace sped up again, and the team finally broke through the small colony.

Sweating profusely, the crowd sat on the ground with some exhaustion, looking at each other and laughing, as Muska staggered with his head shaking, and Tyne turned back from a distance amid the whistling sound, only to fall into the middle of the crowd with a brake in a dog-like manner.

He coincidentally rested on Olves' lap with his big red-haired head, and then began to feign fainting.

Olweis's mind was so exhausted that her mental strength ached, and given Tien's heroic performance in leading away the spider swarm just now, she didn't bother to take advantage of him.

They lay on the ground, enjoying the quiet joy of the rest of their lives together, when suddenly the sound of weapons was heard.

The dwarf, who was disturbed by the happy moment, opened his eyes angrily and scolded, "What kind of person?

The group sat up, and the "awake" Tine was thrown out of Orves' lap without question.

Appearing in front of them was a group of more than twenty fine swordsmen, their silver-white and gorgeous light helmets engraved with the coat of arms of blood-colored spears and axes, and they were surrounded by three people who seemed to be of very noble status, one of whom came out and said, "You and other poor people are fortunate enough to be recruited as the retinue of this expedition, and welcome the arrival of His Royal Highness Nikifrus Palaiogre, the third prince of the Titan Empire!"
