Verse 9: But we are Templars!

No chance!

Needle Gold and Zidi hid near the entrance of the cave, watching the fight of the beasts outside the cave.

During the whole process, the scaly horned panthers were busy but not chaotic, firmly enclosing the monkey-tailed brown bear in the center.

As soon as the boy and girl leave the cave entrance, they expose themselves to the eyes of these beasts.

If you risk rushing out, the chances of survival are low. The two of them would never make such a move unless they had to.

The more I looked at it, the more frightened I became.

The two sides fought, and in the end, the scaly panthers were slightly superior, and there were a lot of them.

"Leopards, although not alone, tend to organize families to survive. With so many leopards hunting in packs, it's unprecedented. On this island, not only have the forms of life been horribly mutated, but their habits have also changed dramatically. ”

There is also speculation about the origin of these scaly horned panthers.

He remembers that when he was being chased by a swarm of fire poisonous bees, he was attacked by a mysterious beast like a leopard on the way. Eventually, the beast was forced by a swarm of fire poison bees to flee in a hurry.

The beast was most likely a scaly-horned panther. After its defeat, it probably returned to the tribe, contacted the other black panthers, and followed the smell of the escape of Needle Gold and Purple Di, and finally came here.

"These panthers are not so much revenge on the fire poison bee colony as they are probably more likely to hunt me and Zidi and me. ”

"In this way, this monkey-tailed brown bear has saved us both from disaster. ”

But there was no gratitude in his heart.

The monkey-tailed brown bear first drove away the fire venom bee colony, and now fights the panther swarm, fighting for the survival of Needle Gold and Purple Di.

But if he returns victorious, he will still attack the young girl.

It's all just a coincidence.

Roar!

The panther leader suddenly pounced on the brown bear's back, opened its mouth, and bit the brown bear's neck at once.

The monkey-tailed brown bear was furious and shook its body wildly.

But the panther leader gritted his teeth, and the leopard body was almost thrown out, and only his teeth clenched the brown bear's neck.

Brown bears have plump flesh and are just bleeding for a while. It stretched out its two orangutan-like claws, its sharp nails piercing the scales and stabbing deep into the panther leader's body.

The panther leader didn't let go, and at the same time, the rest of the panther panthers pounced on him.

One by one, the panthers pounced on the brown bears and crushed them to the ground.

"Opportunity!" Seeing this scene, Needle Gold immediately made a decision and immediately dragged Zidi out of the hole.

But then, when the only remaining panther saw them, a roar immediately rushed at the two of them. The rest of the heads are also ready to move.

Needle Gold and Zidi were forced by the scaly black panther to flee back to the cave.

The panther did not chase into the cave because the monkey-tailed brown bear broke out.

Its claws exuded a hot breath, and its nails, as sharp as black iron, turned red, like steel in a furnace.

The brown bear rolled wildly on the ground, shaking off most of the panther on its body.

Then his two sharp claws plunged into the depths of the panther leader's body. As the panther leader struggled frantically, large strands of blood gushed out of his mouth and nose.

Phew!

The next moment, the monkey-tailed brown bear brazenly tore the panther leader in half!

Its claws turned red and emitted a scorching aura, as if steel had been tempered in a furnace and had just been taken out.

The claws of red iron can easily pierce the scales of the black panther. Under the great power of the brown bear, it becomes a killing weapon!

For a time, nearly ten black panthers were slaughtered, and their corpses were on the spot!

The leopards broke up with a bang, and the losses were quite heavy.

The monkey-tailed brown bear, though the ultimate victor, was also miserable. Its right eye had been scratched blind, and it was covered in wounds and blood. Several wounds on the legs, feet and arms are even more visible.

The most serious wound on its neck. This is where the panther leader has a deep wound that seems to have bitten an artery.

Now the wound is constantly gushing out bright red blood.

The monkey-tailed brown bear was so badly injured that after repelling the leopard herd, it did not make any pursuit of it, but immediately walked back to the cave.

There was no way, Needle Gold and Zidi could only keep retreating.

Wounded beasts are often even more terrifying!

Fortunately, the brown bear was seriously injured and did not run, and walked back to the cave, not very fast.

Boys and girls were forced deeper into the cave.

If there is only one way to the cave, then they will eventually have to meet the brown bear, and they will have to start a fight.

But there was no certainty about the needle.

He had a long sword, but it was lost at the campfire. The only sharp weapons on his body now are only two daggers. One is on him, and the other is in Zidi's hand.

Teenagers and girls retreated again and again.

The best-case scenario for them is that there is a fork in the tunnel.

However, something unexpected happened.

The monkey-tailed brown bear was halfway down the road and did not go any further.

It stopped, dug out the ore from the cave wall with its claws, and devoured it with its mouth open.

It's eating this piping hot ore!

Needle Gold observes darkly, and the pupils are shrunk. He was surprised to find that after swallowing a dozen pieces of ore, the wounds on the monkey-tailed brown bear gradually stopped bleeding. The brown bear's originally weak and scattered aura gradually stabilized.

Needle gold completely understood.

"It turns out that these ores are the food of monkey-tailed brown bears!"

He had found a lot of claw marks on the cave wall before, and he thought it was a monkey-tailed brown bear sharpening its claws. Now it seems that it should be the traces left by the brown bear's digging.

The condition of the monkey-tailed brown bear is rapidly improving.

Needle Gold and Zidi glanced at each other, and they both saw that each other's faces became extremely solemn.

At the moment, they have two options.

One is to keep back, looking for a fork in the cave to avoid the monkey-tailed brown bear.

The second option is to go to war with the monkey-tailed brown bear. Take advantage of the enemy's illness and ask for the enemy's life!

Both options carry considerable risks.

The first option is to give up the immediate opportunity and let the monkey-tailed brown bear recuperate. Once there is no fork in the road, they still have to fight the monkey-tailed brown bear.

The second option is to start a war with the brown bears, and the needle gold is not sure about the outcome of the battle. Although it is true that he seized the fighter plane, if the cave forks in the road and he finally dies at the hands of the brown bear, wouldn't it be too wronged?

Zidi suddenly held the hand of the needle gold, she didn't speak, but the beautiful purple eyes had already revealed her heart - everything was up to the needle gold!

For a while, the needle gold was caught in a choice.

It's about the choice of life and death!

The point is that it's not just about his personal life and death, but also about the life of his fiancΓ©e, Zidi.

Heavy responsibility, pressed on the shoulders of the needle.

Needlegold's eyes flickered for a while, and soon revealed a resolute light.

He shook Zidy's hand, then let go.

He drew his dagger and started slowly, quietly approaching the monkey-tailed brown bear that was feeding.

Neither option is certain. Nor was there any reliable information that would help him make a judgment.

So he followed his natural choice - he preferred to fight, to try to choke fate by the throat!

Even if he didn't have a long sword in his hand, only a short dagger remained.

Closer, closer.

The distance between the needle gold and the brown bear is getting closer.

The brown bear is still eating, perhaps because it has returned to the den, or perhaps it is in such a bad state after the fierce fight that it seems to be unaware of the approaching needle.

But at this moment, Needlegold's complexion changed suddenly.

A stream of memories came to mind.

"Damn, it's at this critical moment!" Needle Jin cursed weakly in his heart, but he could only temporarily immerse himself in the flashes of memory.

In an old tavern, the lights are dim and the people are noisy.

"We've won!"

"Drink this cup to the brim!"

Needlegold found himself sitting in a corner, surrounded by knights in shining armor. Of course, he himself is one of them.

The knights had new scars on their armor, cloaks, and bodies, but everyone was excited.

It seems that this is a post-war celebration banquet.

"Ulla!" someone cheered, "I don't think there's anything else in this world that can stop us Templars?"

"Looking back now, the battle just now was still very difficult. Others sighed.

Another man stroked the wine glass with his hand and said in a frightened tone: "I almost didn't control my mount." ”

The Templars' exclamation drew a sneer.

"What's the danger, little cubs, you're still too tender. The voice was heard, attracting the attention of Needle Gold and the rest of the Templars.

It was an old man who spoke up.

He had a gray beard, a majestic physique, and a suit of Templar armor, but in the gold and silver ornamentation, he was markedly different from the knights around him - more ornate and majestic.

The Templars did not say anything to retort, but looked at the old man with expressions of awe.

The originally loud and noisy sound in the tavern quickly subsided until it was completely gone.

"Commander. Tell us about it, I know that your old man has participated in many great battles, such as conquering the Iron Banner Fortress, encircling the Blood Knights, and defending the Griffon Cliff. What do you think was the toughest battle?" someone asked.

The old head smiled, did not speak, but raised his head and drank the beer from the barrel glass.

As soon as he put down his glass, the Templars brought him another full glass.

The old head reached out and grabbed the handle of the wine glass, this time he didn't drink heavily, just took a small sip, and almost drank the rich beer foam on the wine glass into his stomach.

His only remaining one eye, in the light of the firelight, showed a look of remembrance.

He spoke, "If you want to say that the most difficult battle has to be the one six years ago, in the Jackal Valley. ”

"I know, it's the Annihilation War of the Knights of the Cold Cedars!" someone said excitedly.

There are also many people who look at the needle gold with sharp eyes.

The old head nodded and continued, "Yes, it's in the Jackal Valley. Almost all of the southern nobles are treacherous villains, vile and shameless, and capricious!"

"Our Fifth Templar Regiment has been on the march for five days, and after entering the Valley of the Jackals, they were betrayed by friendly forces. Thousands of Knights of the Trees laid siege to us. ”

"Our 5th Regiment had just withdrawn from the front line, and after the first wave of attacks, it was caught off guard and lost 300 men on the spot, leaving only more than 1,000 people, almost all of whom were wounded. ”

"The Knights of the Trees unleashed a wave of charges. We relied on the dilapidated camp, barely defending. ”

"The second wave of the offensive was repulsed by us, we lost three hundred people. ”

"After the third wave of attacks, we lost more than two hundred people. ”

"After the fourth wave of attacks, we were left with just over eighty people. ”

"We've used up all the berserk potions, we have no supplies, and what's more, there is a strong man in the enemy army who claims to be the Corruptor. This warlock is extremely vicious, and under his spells, our weapons and armor are strongly corroded. ”

"We were cornered and in a desperate situation, when the Captain of the Knights of the Hanshan Trees beckoned us to surrender. ”

"We know that the southern nobles want to take us prisoner so that they can have an important bargaining chip to negotiate with the Emperor. ”

"Hehe, but he's underestimating us Templars too much!"

"We deliberated for a while, and then we charged!"

"There are no swords, but we are Templars. ”

"There is no armor, but we are Templars. ”

"There are no horses, but we are Templars. ”

"There are no supplies, but we Templars. ”

"No matter how many enemies there are, how strong they are, how few of us are, we will not surrender. ”

"Because we're Templars!"
