"Smack", the whip made a crisp sound in the air. Leaving the ruined city of Briana and entering the outer edge of the forest, the light suddenly dimmed, and although the trunks were sparse enough to allow carriages to pass normally, the broad canopy of broad-leaved trees still obscured the entire sky above the forest.

"Trees. Catherine grasped the reins with one hand to control the direction, and with the other hand pointed forward at a tree that was not easy to avoid in front of her, only the waist-thickness of an adult male, and the long black whip rolled out like lightning with the finger pointing, gently winding around the roots. The thick trunk of the tree was wound along the roots by the long whip, and immediately broke as if it had been cut by a sharp blade, and Dora held the whip with both hands, and the ten-meter-high trunk was pushed horizontally a distance of several meters before falling to the other side. The carriage didn't need to slow down at all, and easily passed through the trees blocking it.

"Perfect. Catherine's attention was completely focused on controlling the direction, and she had no time to look away, but she still praised Dora for her timely assistance, Dora smiled confidently, and the long whip pulled a whip in the air: "With the cooperation of two knights, it is still very easy to pass through here." ”

With a "boom", the spar gun sounded, and the silver-level spar gun was continuously activated by Pannis's silver-level fighting energy, and seven or eight balls of energy shot out from the muzzle, blasting several low-level demonic beasts that pounced out of the woods in the air.

In the Yara Continent, the existence of hedron gunners is rather awkward, because they have too many restrictions on them. First of all, they need to rely on equipment to fight, and if they lose the spar gun in their hands, their combat effectiveness is basically negligible. Secondly, the spar gun is also divided into ranks, only the same level of fighting energy can activate the same level or low-level spar gun, and the silver level fighting energy cannot activate the gold level spar gun. Thirdly, it is difficult for a low-level spar gun to damage the opponent's flesh and body against a higher-tier professional, whether it is a physical bullet or an energy bullet, so it is difficult for a silver-level spar gunner to cause damage to a gold-level professional, which leads to the fact that the spar gunners are completely determined by rank, and it can almost be said that there is no possibility of counterattacking the upper rank. These are not the most critical weaknesses, the most critical problem is that the legendary spar gun is too rare, so that even if a gunner is really promoted to legendary, it is difficult to find the corresponding gun, and the final combat power is not much different from that of an ordinary gold rank gunner, so the legendary spar gunner can be described as rare. As for the demigod-level gunners, they are even rarer, so rare that it may take hundreds of years for one to appear.

However, the spar gunner also has a positive side, for enemies below the same level, as long as the fighting spirit is not exhausted, and the spar gun has sufficient crystal energy, it can fight for a long time, and it can attack the enemy at a high frequency in a short period of time, and the attack power is very strong. This advantage is very tempting, for this there used to be many professionals who wanted to carry a hedron gun with them as a weapon, but unfortunately the fighting spirit or magic characteristics required to activate the spar gun were very special, requiring extremely high energy control ability, which most professionals could not do, which dispelled the idea of those professionals.

So when Dora saw Pannis assemble the hedron gun and start guarding, she couldn't help but sigh with regret, because choosing a hedron gunner often means cutting off the possibility of advancing to a legend, which is a very painful thing for a human professional under the age of forty. When the other three girls saw Dora's expression, they didn't tell her the truth, but only snickered secretly.

Pannis smiled at Dora, and with a slight shake of the hand holding the gun, the thin cylindrical hedron that had exhausted the crystal energy popped out of the energy storage port of the exciter, and another hedron full of energy was inserted, and the crystal energy gun, which was nearly a meter long, began to flash the brilliance of energy again.

"How far is it?" Catherine gently stroked the new pendant around her neck, and the little banshee Anne lived in it, observing everything in the outside world curiously through the pendant.

"At the current speed, it will take more than ten minutes to reach Spindle Village at most. Since Catherine put on the pendant, Dora struggled mentally for half a day, and finally stood in the carriage a few steps away from Catherine, and did not dare to come back and stick to her.

"Are you sure your subordinates have arrived?" Lina, as a spell-casting profession, belongs to the object of care, and this kind of rush and crushing battle can not be involved at all, so she sat in the carriage with Vivien very leisurely. However, Vivien is okay and can think about problems, but the bumpy carriage is completely unreadable, which makes Lina feel very bored and can only look for every opportunity to chat with others.

"It should be almost. Seeing that there was no need to open the road ahead, Dora also took back the long whip and rested slightly: "The agreed time is before tomorrow night, let's set off the day after tomorrow, after all, you have been on the road for more than 20 days in a row, and you must rest for a day." ”

"Do you need to find a guide?" Pannis, relying on his sense of smell, confirmed that there were no hidden Demon Beast predators in close proximity, and then turned back from the position of the deputy master and asked, "Or can you also serve as a guide?"

"We can't. Dora shook her head and said, "We are only familiar with the defense line on the outskirts of the forest, and there are very few opportunities to actually go into the forest, and no one can take on the responsibility of a guide. However, in some villages here, some hunters are very powerful. You don't think they are just ordinary people, but with the help of some medicines, they can sneak into the center of the forest intact to pick rare herbs or pick up valuable parts of the bones of Warcraft, and then they can come out safely, they rely on their familiarity with the terrain and the mastery of Warcraft habits. We need to find a guide like that, and the rest will be easy. And such a guide will also be of great help to you later in the treasure hunt, right? ”

"Parking. Instead of answering Dora's words, Pannis's face suddenly changed, and he shouted to Catherine, "Quick." ”

Catherine did not hesitate at all, and when she heard Pannis's shout, she grabbed the reins of the horse with all her hands, and the great force caused the two horses to stand up at the same time, and let out a very uncomfortable neighing of dissatisfaction. At the same time, Pannis floated up from the galloping carriage, landing smoothly in defiance of inertia, and hitched one hand in front of the carriage. The sturdy carriage made a terrifying noise under the action of the two forces of forward and stop, but in the end it survived and came to a safe stop. However, the rest of the carriage was not so lucky, especially Dora, who was standing, who was almost thrown off the car by inertia, and Lina and Vivien almost rolled into a ball.

"Divine Word, Shield. ”

"Protection, spell deflection. ”

Rather than panic or surprise, Lina and Vivien, who were staggering, chanted their spells as soon as they could, while laying two defenses around the carriage. After confirming that the defense was solid, Lina asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"There was a smell of blood in front and it was heavy. Pannis said, "Be on guard, I'll go and see." ”

"The situation is unknown. Catherine gave Pannis a thumbs up and said, "Be careful. ”

"Is it okay to let him go?" Dora asked in a low voice, "Isn't he a gunslinger?"

"No problem, he's professional. Catherine said, "Take care of yourself and be on the spot." ”

After greeting Catherine, Pannis shook off his trench coat and shifted a few meters to the right, retreating behind the trees beside him. The moment his figure vanished, Dora found that she could no longer grasp his tracks, whether it was hearing, sight, smell, or energy perception, all signaling that the woods were empty.

"Huh?" Dora said in surprise: "Senior sister, your teammate is very interesting, my perception is relatively acute among gold-level professionals, but I actually watched him disappear from my perception, isn't it simple, is he a thief?"

"Guess. Catherine smiled mysteriously, ignoring Dora's question.

"Senior sister, let's talk about it. Dora smiled and leaned closer to Catherine, and naturally put her left hand around Catherine's waist: "Satisfy my curiosity, okay?"

"I'm sorry, not good. Catherine picked up the pendant on her chest and hung it in front of Dora, scaring her back several steps in a row: "Keep coming here, why did you escape?"

"Count you ruthless. Dora glared at the pendant angrily.

Vivien had already jumped out of the carriage, leaning against the back of the carriage under the cover of the carriage, and took out six bottles of potions of different colors from the pockets of her blue overalls, lined them up one by one in front of her, adjusted them to the most convenient position, and whispered an unknown incantation in her mouth, pointing her fingers at the mouth of the bottles in turn. Each click will cause the clicked bottle to light up, and soon, all six bottles will flash with corresponding shimmers at the same time.

Lina was still sitting in the carriage, looking defenseless, but the book spread out on her lap had changed from an ordinary book to a silver magic book that she carried all year round. Her left palm was upward, held flat above the Dharma book, and the Dharma book automatically flipped under the back of her hand, and her palm also changed with the turning of the Dharma book with different intensities of holy light.

"What are they doing here?" Dora didn't dare to disturb the two casters, and asked Catherine in a low voice.

"Prepare for war. Catherine reached under her seat and drew the shield that had been placed beneath the throne. The most human-tall iris shield was temporarily leaned by Catherine to his left hand, and his right hand drew the knight's sword and plunged it diagonally into the soft ground: "Otherwise, what can you do?"

"The situation hasn't been determined yet. Dora didn't understand: "Isn't it a waste to prepare for war now?"

"You don't know Pennis. Catherine shook her head and said, "If it was just the smell of blood, he wouldn't have asked to stop so urgently, only in more serious cases would do this." As for whether he would have misjudged from such a distance? ”

"There are companions who trust him so much. Dora sighed with envy: "He's really happy." ”

"You're wrong. Catherine smiled: "It's really our happiness to have such a trustworthy companion." ”

The breeze swept by, Dora seemed to feel something, turned back suddenly, and Pannis had quietly appeared a few steps behind her, and approached with a somewhat serious expression: "The eight corpses in front, looking at the signs are from your mercenary group, they have just died not long ago, no more than three hours at most." The murderer is a family of dinosaurs, two large and six small, two large and three adult small dinosaurs are of the gold rank, and three young beasts are of the silver rank. They should have spotted us, outflanked and prepared for battle. ”

"It's been ready for a long time. Catherine's sword and shield clashed with a crisp sound.
