The Black Songde River, which originates in the Torfalas Strait, is located north of Reef City, and the water is clear, but it is extremely turbulent and dangerous.

It is said that there are countless invisible piranhas living in Black Songdene, and there were once adventurers who were not afraid of death who entered the river to swim, only to be watched by his companions as he gradually changed from a flesh-and-blood human to a bloody white bone, changing out of thin air, as if being eaten alive by countless invisible beasts, which was terrifying.

However, this is not of much importance to Allen's party at the moment, because they have boats, and they don't need to enter the river except for the need to cross the river in the Sancha River area later.

However, not entering the river does not mean that there is no danger.

Known as the dark River of Shadows, in addition to the legendary stealthy piranhas, there is also the existence of a magical beast called the shadow lizard.

Shadow lizards, as the name suggests, can also be invisible, but unlike piranhas, they are amphibious creatures that can be encountered in rivers and attacked by them from time to time on the shore.

At this time, Allen and his party were facing the situation of being attacked by this kind of demonic beast.

A small group of golden flame guards surrounded Allen, with serious faces and erected shields to protect him, while the two Andrews, who were blood knights, were crazy and circled around, and their arms that burned with golden flames waved down out of thin air from time to time, and their mouths kept letting out bursts of low roars, as if they were fighting with the air, which looked inexplicable.

However, Eren didn't feel anything inexplicable, and he even had lingering feelings about the situation he had faced.

I happened to be walking by the river, but who would have thought that I suddenly stepped on a slender moving thing like a snake under my feet, which happened suddenly and scared Allen.

Not only him, but several guards stepped on this invisible thing, and then they didn't give them time to react, and suddenly encountered a large-scale attack, which felt like falling into a well-prepared trap, and they lost their footing in an instant, and people couldn't react at all.

Fortunately, before setting off, they were basically mentally prepared for the monsters they might encounter on the route, and they also prepared some items that could restrain these monsters, so after getting through the initial chaos, they quickly organized a response plan.

For example, the Andrew brothers seem to be wandering around right now, but they're actually chasing the shadow lizard.

In addition to being invisible, the shadow lizard is also a means of rough skin and thick flesh, and if its stealth is broken, it is still very simple to deal with.

How do you break its invisibility? It's actually very simple, just sprinkle some lime powder on it when you have the opportunity.

The shadow lizard that has lived in the water for a long time naturally has a smooth mucous membrane, and lime powder is sprinkled on it, unless the shadow lizard immediately runs into the river, otherwise it cannot be shaken off by throwing it alone.

So right now, it looks like the Golden Flame Guards are facing a great enemy, but in fact, the situation faced by the group is no longer dangerous.

This situation is just a matter of caution, after all, the sudden attack before is too much to worry about.

The Andrew brothers didn't actually go all out, the golden flames only ignited on the arm that was used as a weapon, and they didn't even do anything to defend the rest of their bodies, in fact, they didn't need to do any defense, and the shadow lizard's bite on them had no effect at all except for a few tooth marks.

The Star Empire is famous for its knights, and as the main equipment of the knights, the full-body plate armor they make is extremely hard, unless it is targeted by some supernatural power, it has no effect at all, and the defense is impeccable.

This thing is actually divided into levels, the armor worn by ordinary knights is one level, and the secret guards are wearing another level, blood knights, and even apocalypse knights, the armor on their bodies is also different.

Not to mention anything else, the weight level is higher than the first level. Allen, who has been trained as a Knight of the Apocalypse since he was a child, can only barely wear armor such as a secret skill guard, and the higher he is, he doesn't have so much strength.

So don't look at the appearance of the two Andrew brothers with their bare hands, it doesn't seem to be lethal, in fact, every time they attack, they can bring out bursts of violent air tearing sounds, and they can also make a muffled sound when they step on the ground, rumbling like two humanoid tanks.

However, the heavy armor relatively affects their sensitivity, and although the attack power is full, it is useless to miss the target for a while;

The speed of the shadow lizard was very fast, and the attack made by the two Andrew brothers was loud, and it was relatively easy to dodge, so the battle lasted for several minutes from the beginning to now, but the two brothers basically achieved nothing.

However, Alan was quite satisfied with this.

The two brothers' attacks didn't kill any of the monsters, but that doesn't mean they didn't attack the shadow lizards around them. They just didn't kill it, the golden flame burning on the arm was not an ornament, and the large narrow flame tail that was dragged out of the swing splashed in all directions, and after hitting the transparent monster, it would quickly burn out a scorched black that appeared out of thin air, and then disappeared in an instant, and it was impossible to see how much of the two brothers' attacks had taken effect.

They are able to hide their wounds, but they can't do anything about what they carry.

In addition to the intense pain that the flame attack can bring, it also has a blazing temperature, and burning flesh can be more than a simple wound.

As a result, the smell of meat began to permeate the battlefield, and strange screams were endless.

Sweeping the Shadow Lizards with the aftermath of the flames instead of attacking them head-on, the two brothers didn't really fail to hit them, but did it on purpose.

In the face of the monsters in the wild, it is not a good way to kill them directly, the monsters are generally more wild, if they really kill their kind, maybe after escaping, they will go to the rescue and then turn back to fight back, but as long as they are afraid, they will basically not come to trouble the adventurers again.

Some time ago, when Alan rushed from the bay to Reef City, he killed a few wind wolves, but he always encountered wind wolves from time to time on that road, although there was no big mess, but he was also annoyed by their harassment. This is the consequence of not using this method.

At that time, it was not that I didn't want to use it, but I didn't have the opportunity to use it, in the face of a sudden attack, many guards were actually still rookies, although there was no shortage of veterans to warn, but it was normal to beat the wind wolf to death if they couldn't hold back, and finally the guards "gave up on themselves", and they just let go of their hands and feet.

Compared to the beginning, it is a different situation now.

The Andrew brothers are not very good-tempered, but they are also patient with the shadow lizard at the moment, they actually want to let go of their hands and feet to kill quickly, but compared to other monsters, it is difficult to kill all of these invisible monsters, and if you miss one or two, the consequences are not very pleasant.

Fortunately, as time went on, the shadow lizards gradually became a little overwhelmed.

In a place where Allen and his party couldn't see, several shadow lizards were scorched black, and bursts of unpleasant flesh fragrance spread throughout the surrounding air, so that the other shadow lizards that were not attacked seemed hesitant when attacking, and their emotions changed from fierce at the beginning to timidity at the end, and the frequency of attack by the shadow lizards became lower and lower.

Compared to the wind wolves, their hunting wisdom is not very good, although they also thought of attacking the leader first, but after being repelled by the Golden Flame Guardian a few times, they gave up, and turned into attacking around the two brothers who were chasing them.

The Shadow Lizards' persistent attack lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and finally they finally fled in panic under the non-lethal but threatening sweep of the two Andrew brothers, and Alan could clearly see the strange appearance of a shadow lizard with limb stained with lime powder swaying and running on short legs, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Although it is not threatening, there is not only a Shadow Lizard in the wild, they stop and fight here, and after a long time, it will inevitably attract other things, so it is best to solve it as soon as possible.

After being vigilant for a while, and after finding that there was no trace of demonic beasts around, the two brothers extinguished the flame in their hands and returned to Allen.

After a short rest, the group began to hurry again.

They had been fighting for a long time with the golden flame before, but the two brothers didn't look tired at all, they didn't actually consume much combat power.

Because if the golden flame like the one just now doesn't hit the target, then it burns out of thin air, and the cost is very small, so small that it is negligible.

And just now they were just using the tail flame of the golden flame to tease, and the energy required was very low, and they could recover in a few breaths.

So in reality, they don't have much to consume at all.
