The total number of the two magical beasts is not more than fifty, but a hedge between each other has the momentum of thousands of troops and horses, which is the threat of the group composed of the golden level.

In terms of size and weight, the iron-backed brute bulls are obviously at a disadvantage, they are less than three meters long and weigh only seven or eight hundred kilograms, which is far inferior to the size of the ground bears. But when the bulls came together to launch an indomitable charge, the tide turned. The four ground bears who were also hedged were trampled by a round of attacks from the brute bulls that were far weaker than them, and rolled on the ground for a while before they stood up again to form a formation, and the contempt in the original attitude had completely disappeared, carefully looking for opportunities around the brute bulls.

"Moo~~~~" The brutes regrouped, roaring and baring their sharp teeth and sharp claws, their red eyes staring at their opponents, and bursts of white gas erupting from their huge nostrils.

"Roar~~~~" The ground bears did not fall into the wind, the roar of the four ground bears obviously overshadowed the wild bull, and the four ground bears that had just been knocked over kept slapping the ground with their forepaws, and the earth continued to make a dull knocking sound. The legendary terraced bear, which had not moved all this time, suddenly moved, and the bear paw, which was larger than its peers, was raised high and quickly slapped on the ground. It seems to be a casual tap, but it makes the earth vibrate with it. No, not only the vibrations, but a few ground thorns drilled out of the ground in the vibrations, and the sharp stone thorns formed by the rocks stabbed from the bottom up, stabbing heavily in the stomachs of the leading bulls.

"Well, no wonder it's called an iron-backed bull. The ground thorn stabbed the belly of the wild bull, but the scales slid to the side, but the brown belly was still under the attack of the ground thorn, and there was a white mark under the white mark. Seeing this scene, Pannis whispered, "It seems that the defense ability of the abdomen is far weaker than that of other parts." ”

"I've never seen this scene before. "I'm afraid they have weaknesses, as you said. ”

"Every creature has weaknesses, not even the Guardians. Pannis smiled faintly: "It depends on how this group of brute bulls responds." ”

Undeterred by an attack, the Ironback Bulls howled and charged again, forming a group of roaring marches and rushing towards the Ground Bears. But this time the ground bear was prepared, and the eight forepaws of the four ground bears lit up with earthy yellow light at the same time, and the brute bull in the first row felt that his body suddenly increased several times, and his strong limbs could barely support the heavy body, and his speed was also reduced to the limit. But the brute bulls in the second and third rows did not feel this way, and still maintained their original speed, and then unsurprisingly bumped into the first row of brute bulls, and dozens of brute bulls rolled together in a ball.

"The ground bear is so smart. Lina leaned down beside Pannis and let out a suppressed exclamation: "You would interrupt your opponent's charge in such a way." ”

"It's a familiar technique. Catherine tilted her head and thought for a while, and said to Dora: "Do you remember, it was mentioned in the war history class that in the fourth century in 937, the Kingdom of Somra defeated the 5,000 cavalry of the Kingdom of Charrien with only 50 low-level mages and 20,000 light infantry. ”

"That's right, that teacher in Farrar has been bragging about what a groundbreaking, epochal, and great invention, ha, it turned out that he learned it from a demonic beast. Dora pouted and mocked, "I'm going to go back one day and discuss this matter with that guy." ”

The human side is chatting lively, but the battle of the monsters has become more and more intense. The brute bulls who had suffered losses no longer gathered and charged at will, but pounced on the ground bears, and entangled them with their claws. This choice is exactly what the ground bears want, and the large, lazy ground bears prefer this kind of close-to-hand combat, skillfully waving their huge bear paws and engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the bulls.

"Hey, Pannis. Lina bumped Pannis's shoulder: "Do you think any of them will win?"

"Well, that's hard to say. Pannis touched his chin and pondered: "The strength of the brute bulls is speed and defense, and the strength of the ground bears is attack power, but the defense is not bad. You see, the teeth of the wild bulls bite the ground bear, and they only barely break through the defenses brought by the ground bear's fur and fat, and it is not painful or itchy for the ground bear. And the attack of the ground bear is similar, or it can't be hit, even if it hits, you look over there, it hits, but it's not much different from not hitting it. Well, look, the legendary ground bear shot and hit, and sure enough, the result was the same, without attacking the vital point in the abdomen, it was not easy to hurt the iron-backed brute. So...... It's unpredictable. ”

"What do you estimate?" Lina asked undead to satisfy her curiosity, "what is the most likely outcome?"

"The most likely outcome?" Pannis scoffed, "If nothing else, this should be a battle that lasts for a long time, and the result is that each side is half exhausted and half dead, and then each goes home to recuperate." But in this way, it can be regarded as a victory for the brutes, because they hold their own territory. ”

"It's time for us to go, too. Elad watched for a while, seeing that the battle was getting more and more intense, many big trees were constantly falling branches and leaves after being hit, and even a few were directly affected by the battle and broke and fell, so he climbed backwards for a distance, squatted up and said: "They can't take care of us anymore, and they just took this opportunity to climb over the Earth Bear Mountain." At two o'clock in the afternoon, let's not set up camp at first, but go over the mountain in one go, and leave the ground bear's territory to the edge of Raccoon Canyon. ”

Ten people squatted on the ground in turn, crawling for nearly 100 meters with their hands and feet, and only got up again after leaving the glade. Although it was very enjoyable to watch the battle, the feeling of actually hiding around a large group of golden monsters and a legendary monster was not so pleasant, and the oppression brought by the monsters actually made everyone nervous, so they used various topics and jokes to share their mental pressure.

As Elad had said, a few hundred meters to the west, you could see the outline of Earth Bear Mountain through the gaps in the trees. The night owl that came down from the tree brought information about the Earth Bear Mountain, which is not very high, there are only two peaks, the high one is less than 800 meters, and the low one is only about 600 meters. The mountains are also densely covered with trees, no different from ordinary forests.

"How's that, two experts. Dora leaned against a big tree and poured half a pot of water, fanning herself with her hand and asked, "Do you have any plans, how to cross the Earth Bear Mountain?"

"Just try not to get caught by the ground bear. "There's no planning required, it's as easy as a regular outing," Elad said. ”

"And what if it's discovered?" Catherine took out a small positioning device with an obvious goblin-style appearance, looked at the top of her head for a while, and finally sighed regretfully, and put it back in her backpack: "Are there any precautions in case it is discovered?"

"The only thing to be careful about is not to get hurt. Elad replied, "Ground bears can smell a faint smell of blood from a distance of two kilometers, and a little more bleeding will attract all the bears in the vicinity, even if there is deodorizing powder, it is useless." ”

"By the way, in case you are discovered, try not to entangle, kill the other party as quickly as possible and leave quickly. If you encounter two or more ground bears, evacuate as soon as possible. Catherine said: "Gophers, especially you, don't get into the dirt, the earth bear's earth attribute magic looks like there will be a lot, and it is easy to get into the dirt and can't escape." ”

No one spoke again, Catherine waved silently, and the small procession, led by Elard, began to climb up the rugged mountain. There are no roads in the mountains, and it is impossible to build roads in the glittering forest, so everyone can only wave the road-opening machete in their hands, line up in a dense formation, and climb up by grabbing weeds and branches.

"Dora, don't touch that. Pannis, who was crawling below Dora, suddenly slammed Dora's ankle and threw her directly to the ground, and her hand that wanted to reach out and grab a branch as a point of strength naturally failed.

"What?" Dora understood Pannis's way of dealing with emergencies, and was not angry, but asked with some surprise, "Is there any problem?"

"Look closely. Pannis picked up a dead branch and reached over to pull Dora's original target. Under the girl's somewhat frightened gaze, the erect dead branch suddenly melted, and the dissolved liquid quickly flowed along the contact point to the dead branch in Pannis's hand. If you look closely, it is not a liquid at all, but countless small reptiles of one centimeter in size, and the reptiles are clinging to the dead branches quickly on the bodies of their kind, and the sound of fine chewing wood can be heard clearly. When Pannis quickly threw the dead branches at a tree, the dead branches had turned into a puff of powder and disappeared completely, and the insects that had lost their attachment clinged to the nearest tree, quickly regrouping, disguised as a single branch.

"What the hell. Lina covered her mouth and jumped away from the tree, and asked in horror, "What's going on with this, this, this?"

"The Bone Eater, a very camouflaged insect. Pannis avoided the insects and said as he crawled: "The bone-eating insect swarm is usually disguised as a branch, which can last for several days, and once it is touched, it will quickly pounce on the prey and burrow into the body of the prey as it did just now, and will never leave until the prey is eaten." The teeth of this insect are very powerful, even light and thin metal can bite through, and they drill when they see cracks, and ordinary armor can't prevent them at all, so you must push them away with a fighting shield as soon as possible, otherwise you can wait for death. However, I remember that this bug usually lives in Butterfly Valley, how did I encounter it here? ”

"We're walking along the edge of Earth Bear Mountain right now, right at the junction with Butterfly Valley. "It's scary in Butterfly Valley, but it's safe here. Let's go, we're almost over the first mountain. ”
