"There are three rifts in this Trace that lead to the lower levels. The six of them shuttled through the forest, Ike and Catherine walked side by side in the front, the three spell-casting professions walked in the second place, Lina and Freya protected Vivien in the middle, Pannis hung at the end of the line, turned left and right a few times, and sometimes picked a few red fruits from the bushes on the side, first put them under their noses and smelled them, then used their fingernails to cut a little epidermis and then sniffed their nails, and finally put a little spilled fruit liquid with their fingers on the tip of their tongue to lick it, so that they could put the fruit in their mouths with confidence, but in most cases, they would immediately frown and spit out, some of this wild fruit is too unpalatable。 The three girls of the spell casting profession looked back at Pennis, and snickered together, and finally Freya couldn't help but turn around and say, "Pennis, we discussed it just now and reached an agreement. Some creatures just smell things they don't know before they eat them, and you're much higher than them. ”

"Aren't you talking about the neighbor's black dog?" Pannis pursed his lips and threw over a few fist-sized fruits: "Try these, although I don't know what they are, and I have never seen them outside, but they taste really good, sour and sweet." This kind of fruit was rarely seen along the way, and it was estimated that it was eaten by those herbivorous demonic beasts. Catherine also try it, your favorite dessert here. ”

"You guys, give me a little bit. Catherine took the fruit and squinted at a few fools: "Mr. Ike is introducing the situation, can you concentrate a little? This is very rude, well, it is indeed delicious, no, you are not only rude, but also very irresponsible for your own safety, all follow up, listen to me carefully." ”

"Yes. Several people immediately put on serious expressions, followed closely behind the two of them, and made the appearance of listening attentively. Ike smiled wryly: "It's good to see a teammate who can maintain such a relaxed mindset in this environment for the first time, but if you are too nervous, it is likely to affect your reflexes and judgment when needed, which is a very fatal thing." Well, I continued, there are three cracks that lead to the lower level, which are ......"

"Crack No. 1, Crack No. 2, and Crack No. 3?" As soon as Pannis finished speaking, he met eight angry glances, and immediately lowered his head and said, "Okay, okay, I understand, I'll shut up." ”

"Among the three cracks, two are large, enough for all kinds of large demonic beasts to pass, and the road conditions are also very good. Ike didn't care about Pannis's trouble, and continued: "As for the other small one, it is relatively narrow, although we humans have no problem when passing, but the high and low road conditions inside are very poor, the advantage of the small side is safety, it leads directly to the second underground floor, and it is relatively close to the road to the third floor, but even so, if nothing else, it is the big side that is faster, after all, the road over there is flat and easy to walk." As for which way to choose, it's up to you to decide. ”

"I think, choose the path. Catherine thought for a few seconds and asked the others, "I think it's a bit more strenuous to walk the path, but without those large monsters, you can save a lot of work." After all, it's also a legendary monster, and small ones are always easier to deal with than large ones, and I feel that in this kind of place, if you can walk less, you can walk as little as possible, and the more distance you walk, the easier it may be to get into trouble. ”

"Small is not necessarily easier to deal with than big. Pannis shook his head and said, "But I'm also in favor of taking the path, the second point you said is too right, in a dangerous environment, choosing the road with the least contact with unfamiliar space is the best choice." ”

The other three girls did not speak, but nodded to Catherine together, indicating that everything was up to her decision. Catherine weighed it again, and then said, "Okay, Mr. Ike, then choose the path, I hope that there will be no monsters encountered along the way, and we can reach our destination smoothly." ”

"Actually, it's fine. Ike smiled, shook his head and said, "Those are monsters, not monsters, they don't attack creatures like crazy, all they do is protect their territory and hunt." And with our size, even if we step into their territory, we often won't induce their attacks, after all, we don't seem to be competitive. As long as we don't be unlucky enough to encounter some hungry predators, we don't have to fight. ”

"I think you can become a prophet. Pannis's nose moved, and the corners of his mouth twitched and said: "Get ready for battle, maybe we are really unlucky enough to meet a hungry predator, I hope this time it is not a too powerful demonic beast, if a demigod demonic beast emerges at this time, it will be really sad." ”

"Knock, knock, knock. After a while, the ground began to shake again, and the sound of roaring footsteps came from far away. At the same time, there was the sound of crashing and the breaking of tree trunks. Pannis smiled bitterly: "It seems that this time it's a big guy again, and listening to this running speed, it's completely different from the giant monster we just encountered, this one is too fast." ”

"When. Catherine had already taken out her shield and poked the tip into the soft earth: "Since it is coming at us again, it must have locked our scent, so there is no way back, defeat it head-on, so that it will not dare to treat us as targets in the future." Pannis, can you judge the strength of the other party now?"

"Closer. Pannis shook his head and said, "It's too far away now for me to sense its energy." ”

"Everyone is ready to fight. Catherine shouted hoarsely, "Kill it as soon as possible, we have to hurry." ”

So, when the predator arrived, he saw six heavily armed creatures waiting for it to arrive, and when they met, both sides had some headaches. The predator has a headache, the six prey in front of him are too small, one bite can swallow two, and the sum is not enough for the strength consumed by his own running for a few minutes, if you want to eat, it is not worth bending down to bite, don't eat, didn't you run this trip in vain? And the predator faintly felt a trace of danger from several people, and its instinct reminded it that it must be considered carefully.

The six members of the expedition also had a headache, it was just a legendary magical beast in front of them, but it was a large magical beast that had never been seen before. It stretched out from head to tail at a length of thirteen or fourteen meters, standing at a height of about six to eight meters, and had a large oval head with a protruding mouth that was flat at the front, with a mouth that took up half of the size of the head. This is a large monster covered with strong muscles all over its body, sharp teeth can easily tear apart the skin and muscles of its prey, strong biting muscles can make it bite the target tightly, the short and thick neck allows it to easily tear off the bite from the prey, the thick legs support its body so that it can run quickly, and even the tail that is not long can also use the whipping action to cause fatal damage to some weak prey. However, its forelimbs were so short that they hung over its chest like ornaments, and no one could figure out what it was for. At first glance, this kind of demonic beast is extremely powerful, and because of its huge body, the spell effect is often not so effective, and it is the most troublesome to deal with.

The predator hesitated, but still opened its mouth at the six people and let out an earth-shattering roar, but it could not have imagined that among the prey in front of it, the one wrapped in shiny light actually took a deep breath, and also opened its mouth to respond to an even louder roar. The predator was so frightened by the loud roar that he took half a step back, and looked at the prey in disbelief with a pair of big dirty yellow eyes. After looking at it for a while, the predator seemed unwilling to continue the stalemate, and began to circle around the six people, which was a sign of their caution in the face of strange enemies, and once they made this gesture, it showed that they would not give up easily, and were looking for the enemy's loopholes and ready to attack.

After a few seconds, the predator let out a low roar and quickly rushed forward, its huge mouth opening and biting Catherine, who had just yelled at it, with a foul breath. Catherine didn't retreat a single step, and kept standing in place, just when the giant mouth was about to reach her, she suddenly burst out of vindictiveness, grabbed the bottom and picked up the iris shield made of all-magic steel, and slapped the shield horizontally on the face of the predator.

The power of a legendary knight's fierce blow after the explosion of fighting spirit was considerable, although the predator's size was huge, the epidermis was hard and the muscles were strong, but it still could not withstand such an impact, and whimpered and stumbled to the side a few steps, the epidermis of the face was obviously cracked by the skin of this charged attack. The predator's eyes were full of anger, and the snake-like vertical pupils shot a cold light, and once again let out a loud roar, and he was not going to eat these prey, ready to rush at them at high speed and turn them into mud.

Catherine gripped her shield and sword again, as if she sensed the determination in the heart of the giant beast, so she stared intently at the predator in front of her, this knight girl who was still at the golden level, dared to collide head-on with the wild maternity armored cow, and successfully slowed down the speed of the other party, how could she be afraid of a predator of the same level? The girl struck the shield with her one-handed sword, and once again warned the predator with her war cry.

Suddenly, the predator who was about to attack was stunned, straightened up and looked into the distance, and couldn't care about the prey in front of him, and turned around like running into the depths of the jungle, as if fleeing, and couldn't even care about turning his head back.

"What's going on?" Catherine had the feeling of punching the air with all her might, and guessed suspiciously, "Could it be that a more terrible predator has come, so it will quickly retreat?"

"In a sense, yes. Pannis raised an eyebrow: "I think we should hurry up and leave, don't stay here, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble." ”

"What is it?" Catherine asked, recovering her weapon as she prepared to leave, "Did you hear that?"

"Shhhh Pannis whispered, "Listen carefully, distant voices." (To be continued.) )
