The dwarves walked in a hurry, and Chen Tang rode the lion Nemo behind and followed leisurely. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It's early summer, and the Northumbrham Mountains, despite their dense forests, don't look sweltering. The wind blowing through the trees is very refreshing, and Chen Tang regards it as an outing.

But the old patriarch Abbas would not have it so easy, although he knew the way to the Silver Forest, he had not traveled this road for some years. The forest is not a good place, in addition to the beasts that can be seen everywhere, there are also powerful and terrifying monsters inhabiting. In the past, this road was very safe, but in the past so long, no one knows if there are any magical beasts, and they come to settle on a certain mountain peak around them, but don't break into it without knowing it, that is the sheep into the tiger's mouth.

No intelligent race has ever dared to make a home in the depths of the forest, and even the dwarves have only settled on the edge of the mountains. Even if you know that the mountains deep in the mountains contain more abundant minerals, you don't dare to take risks.

Fortunately, Nemo the Lion was an intermediate-level magical beast, and most of the beasts along the way avoided it early. Even if they encounter a few demonic beasts occasionally, they are only vigilant from afar, roaring a few times, as long as they don't step into their territory, they will be fine. After a few days, it was very smooth.

Abbas refused Chen's request for a musket, but he wasn't stingy. During that month, a pair of exquisite armor was specially tailored for him, and it was even mixed with precious Mithril, which was extremely strong. Coupled with giving him a fine elven scimitar and a delicate bow and crossbow, Chen Tang was almost fully armed. He was no longer angry............ In other words, a bold friend like a dwarf is interesting enough. After all, muskets are people's strategic weapons, and if you don't see a nuclear power on the earth, you won't easily give nuclear bombs to your allies to play with.

The forest was full of wild beasts, and Chen Tang was extremely bored and would hunt around with a bow and crossbow. Because the breath inadvertently released by Nemo the lion is too strong, it can make the beast escape from a distance. He had no choice but to let Nemo go away and sneak closer to hunt himself. Plump wild deer, mountain roe deer, and large birds with bright feathers...... Over the course of a few days, the dwarves tasted all kinds of game.

One morning, after a hasty breakfast, Abbas said to everyone with a cautious expression: "We have already walked a little halfway through the journey, and then we are in the depths of Northumbrewood." It's a place full of dangers, and there are monsters at any time. Even if Brian's lion is around, you need to be cautious, so no one should leave the group casually. Brian, you don't want to go hunting these days, we bring enough food to eat. ”

Chen Tang nodded, everything is best to listen to experienced people. The dwarves had no objection and soon hit the road with their weapons on their backs.

The trees here are getting taller and taller, and the top is barely visible, and the surroundings are much quieter, and the atmosphere becomes oppressive. Occasionally, the roar of beasts was heard from a distance, and the sound was eerie. At this time, even the lion Nemo reined in his temperament of not being afraid of heaven and earth, and quietly carried Chen Tang and followed behind the dwarf team.

From a distance, you can see a high mountain, with sparse trees on it, but there are a lot of unknown weeds, Abbas was a little nervous, his voice couldn't help but be lowered, and said: "I remember that this mountain is inhabited by a middle-level demonic beast [Iron Rhinoceros], don't look at it as a grass-eater, but the temper is the most irritable, let's not step into its territory, otherwise once it is angered, it will definitely be entangled endlessly." ”

As if he understood Abbas's words, Nemo the Lion snorted a little disappreciatively, as if to say that he was also a mid-level demonic beast, and it was not necessarily who was afraid of whom. Chen Tang slapped him and scolded in a low voice: "Don't make trouble, you are still a child at best, and you are already a veteran Warcraft who has been famous for many years." Be honest with me and I'll give you a delicious cake when I get there. ”

The lion immediately stopped, not knowing whether he was bribed by the cake or frightened by the name of the old Warcraft.

The group quietly avoided the high mountain and circled through the forest from the foot of the mountain, although there were no accidents on the way. When he walked out of the high mountain range, Abbas breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's okay, there are a few more days of smooth road, let's take a little rest." ”

The dwarves were relieved, and one by one they put down their weapons and began to sit down to drink water and rest. The old patriarch sent two dwarves to the front to explore the way a little. Chen Tang fed the lion cake on the side............ God knows how a meat-eating lion could be so fond of sweets.

In addition to the tall trees, there are mountains one after another, some high and some low, just like the hill in front of them, for some reason there are no tall trees, just covered with unknown weeds, but it is very similar to the high mountain where the [Iron Rhinoceros] is entrenched just now. After looking at it, Chen Tang asked Abbas casually: "Patriarch Abbas, why do you say that there are trees everywhere, but there are only weeds on these two mountains?"

"Well, you don't know the habits of the tin rhinoceros. They don't like tall trees to block the sun, so there are places where they live, and all the trees are bulldozed down to leave enough space for sunbathing. Abbas said as he drank his water without looking up.

But then he noticed that something was wrong, and the water bag in his hand fell off, and he stood up with a frightened face and rushed forward...... The two scouts who had just explored the path were walking towards the hill. He yelled without looking back: "Damn, this hill was originally covered by forests, and the trees are gone, so it must be occupied by another iron-skinned rhinoceros." Everyone immediately be vigilant and prepare for battle!"

The dwarves were busy, and they took out their war hammers and crossbows, and gathered in a queue, keeping watch out for their surroundings. Chen Tang urged Nemo the lion, jumped on his back, and caught up with Abbas like the wind. Abbas shouted anxiously, "Leave me alone, go ahead and find Chili and Baal, they are in danger." ”

Chen Tang crossed Abbas and rushed forward. Suddenly, a dull 'moo' roar was heard, and tall trees began to be knocked down. The two dwarves, Chili and Baal, ran in front of them in a panic, their weapons long gone. Behind them, a swarthy rhinoceros, larger than Nemo, the lion, was in mad pursuit.

"Nemo, help them!" Chen Tang hurriedly shouted when he saw that the dwarf was already extremely dangerous. Nemo stomped on the ground with his front paws and let out a low roar in his mouth, the yellow light on his body flickering. Immediately, behind Chili and Baal, who had already run to the front, a thorn suddenly emerged from the ground, blocking the pursuit of the iron rhinoceros.

"Hide in the back!" shouted Chen Tang, who had already seen that the spines had been directly smashed by the rhinoceros, and there was almost no hindrance, so he pounced again. And this time he finally saw Nemo the lion, and naturally regarded the other monster as an enemy who invaded the territory, and mooed more and more frantically. The dark iron skin on his body flashed like Nemo the lion, and a layer of black light flashed and slammed into it.

Chen Tang suddenly had a feeling of fear emerging from the bottom of his heart. He didn't know why this was happening, but he was scared. Nemo, the lion, also went berserk, and lifted Chen Tang down, bursting with earth-based magic with his teeth and claws, and pounced on the iron-skinned rhinoceros. Behind him, the old dwarf Abbas picked up Chen Tang, who was trembling a little, and explained as he retreated: "The iron-skinned rhinoceros is a dark magical beast, and their magic is fear trampling. Anyone who faces it, if they are attacked by magic, will develop fear and panic, and lose the will to fight. Just get out of its magic range. Luckily, Chili and Baal were too weak to provoke the Tin Rhino to release their magic, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to run. ”

Sure enough, when he stepped back to a certain distance, Chen Tang's feeling of fear disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared.

These monsters are really strange. Chen Tang had palpitations, if he was alone just now, he would definitely be more than lucky. It seems that if you want to gain a foothold in this world, you still need to strengthen your strength...... I want to learn magic more and more!

As a monster, Nemo the Lion will also be affected by the Dark Trampling, but he will not be powerless to fight back. Moreover, the ground thorn magic is very effective against the clumsy iron rhinoceros, from time to time the ground spikes burst out of the ground, turning the rhinoceros over, and several times, even if it does not break the opponent's steely animal skin, it also makes the rhinoceros dizzy.

"What is the weakness of the tin rhinoceros?" the two watched from the sidelines, and Chen Tang asked Abbas.

"Eyes, their eyes are fragile. ”

Chen Tang immediately took out his bow and crossbow and prepared to attack the rhinoceros. Anyway, Nemo the Lion seems to have the upper hand, and there is no danger in getting a little closer. But at that moment, a louder moo came from the mountains in the distance. Abbas's face turned pale instantly, and this time he was really anxious: "Oops, this rhinoceros in front of me is just a cub, the rhinoceros in the mountains is his parents, they must have sensed the danger of the child, and they are about to rush over, let's run, otherwise we will really die here." ”

Chen Tang immediately put away his crossbow, and Abbas had already beckoned the dwarves to go first. Even in such a critical moment, these guys don't forget to bring weapons for the elves, and they really value their reputation.

The dwarves quickly galloped into the distance, and Chen Tang stayed behind to wait for Nemo the lion. He also needed Nemo to stop him for a moment to buy the dwarves time.

The mooing from behind was getting closer, and a large number of trees could be seen in the distance. Chen Tang knew that he couldn't drag it out, so he shouted, and the lion Nemo immediately threw down the iron rhinoceros and ran to Chen Tang's side frantically. Chen Tang jumped on his back violently, and the two guys escaped instantly. The angry and crazy tin rhinoceros gave chase, and could only look at the nowhere of the lion and roar.

The dwarves were almost exhausted, and when they finally reached a small river, Abbas cried out, "Hold your breath, let's wade over." The iron-skinned rhinoceros was afraid of water and did not dare to come. ”

When all the dwarves waded across the river, Chen Tang also rode Nemo to catch up. Three iron-skinned rhinoceros finally chased after him, and the one who had just fought with the lion Nemo was indeed a small cub, and the other two rhinoceros were as huge as elephants, jumping like thunder on the opposite bank, but they really didn't dare to cross the river.

The dwarves finally breathed a sigh of relief...... It's safe!
