The foundation of the four young people is very solid, and the tacit understanding and trust between each other are also excellent, which allows them to give full play to their strength, even in the face of opponents who are far stronger than themselves, they have persevered for a long time.

However, this does not change the contrast between the two sides, and as time passes, the caster's power continues to deplete, and the situation becomes more and more unfavorable.

When the moon rose, they finally reached their limit.

"I'm running out of mana. The sweaty priest suddenly said, "At most, use one or two more recovery spells, and there is no more." ”

At this time, the archer had already used up the arrows he had carried, and he could only continue the battle by picking up the arrows he had shot before from the ground.

As for the mage, as the youngest and weakest of the four, he had already exhausted his mana, and he was exhausted and lying on the tree panting like a cow. The dizziness and headache caused by the exhaustion of mana made him unable to speak, and he could only tell everyone with a pitiful and miserable smile that it was absolutely impossible for him to have the strength to escape.

The warrior smiled bitterly and said, "Then let's do it, after I come to break it, you two can retreat, and if you have a chance in the future, kill this old bear and avenge us." ”

They obviously knew each other so well that they knew each other who they were talking about, without even saying their names.

The priest was immediately furious, and shouted: "As a servant of the Lord of Glory (the Lord God of the Terrans), how could I do such a thing as abandoning my companions and running away?

"It's just a temporary retreat. The warrior smiled reluctantly and persuaded, "In battle, there is always a time to attack and a time to retreat. I asked you to withdraw because you were sure that you would be able to leave alive with your companions. If you break off and I retreat, I don't have the confidence to do that!"

The priest who was not good at words was speechless, but stubbornly shook his head and refused to answer.

The two sides were arguing, and the giant bear would not honestly wait for them to negotiate slowly, and seeing that the enemy seemed to be a little distracted, he immediately increased the strength of his attack, seizing the flaw and attacking fiercely. In just one moment, the priest and his shield were blown out, and cracks even appeared on the sturdy shield, and the priest himself was even more out of breath because he didn't have time to exert his strength, and coughed violently.

"Oops!" the warrior froze, swinging his sword in a hurry to attract the bear's attention and buy time for the shooter to rescue the priest. But the giant bear has already used similar violent means at this moment, his strength has increased greatly in a short time, his claws smashed down, a fierce pounce, Rao is he made a more appropriate response, using the shield to unload the power of the attack diagonally, but the only remaining strength has made him unsteady on his feet, staggered back several steps, and finally failed to stand still, fell to the ground.

When the man falls, his heart sinks with it.

Finished!

The giant bear roared angrily and pounced on him, but he felt so sore that he couldn't even lift up any strength, so he could only wait for death.

At this moment, a sneer came from nearby, and I saw a gray figure that crossed a distance of at least dozens of steps in an instant, rushed in front of the giant bear, and blocked in front of him.

The giant bear roared, landed on all four paws, and galloped forward, and in a blink of an eye.

Waiting for it was a bright sword light.

The sword flashed, blood splattered, and the giant bear's sprinting body lost its balance and hit its head against the tree next to it, the wound cracked, and the blood sprayed like a spring.

It was only then that the warrior saw the benefactor who had slain the bear to save himself and his companions—he was of medium stature and handsome, but there was a slightly strange sense of perfection between his eyebrows, which made one feel like a portrait or a statue, not a living person. This man was not tall, wearing a light black leather armor, carrying a spear on his back, and a long sword still dripping blood in his hand, whether it was leather armor, spear, or long sword, all emitting a faint light in the dim, and it was obvious at a glance that it was a powerful and expensive enchanted weapon.

Spears, swords, charges, this benefactor was clearly a knight. However, unlike those knights who wore heavy armor, he was supposed to be the kind that emphasized mobility and attack power in leather armor.

Although he sprinted so far at once and slashed the terrifying giant bear with another sword, this powerful knight did not have the slightest bead of sweat on his face, and he did not even breathe. After a long exhale, he completely regained his composure, as if the astonishing scene just now had nothing to do with him, and he was just passing by for sightseeing.

He walked up to the bear, who was not completely dead, wiped the blood from the long sword on the bear's thick fur, and then inserted it back into its scabbard. The next thing I didn't look at was here, and I walked straight into the distance.

Saving people and killing bears seemed completely worthless to him.

"This ...... This knight ...... Please accept our ...... Our Gratitude ......" or the pastor came back to his senses first, endured the stabbing pain in his chest, and cried out loudly.

The black-armored knight stopped, but instead of looking back, he waved at them.

"You're doing a great job, but you have to be more cautious in the future, ask the old-timers more and learn from their experience. He said in a clear and powerful voice, "Keep up the good work, sooner or later, you will be able to wield such a sword!"

After saying that, he stopped and walked away, leaving only the four adventurers full of gratitude and longing in his chest, and the giant bear who finally died completely.

After a long time, the excited warrior couldn't help but say loudly: "I have decided! After I go back, I will continue to study and practice diligently, and strive to be able to wield a sword like his as soon as possible!"

"I also want to work hard to cultivate, and I want to help others a lot, just as he selflessly helped us!" the pastor clutched the holy emblem, and his heart was full of truth, kindness and beauty.

"I'm going to work hard, too! If I don't work hard enough, I won't even be qualified to repay him in the future!" said the shooter with a smile, "It's not my style to be saved by someone and not repay it!"

Finally, the mage, who was lying on the tree and had no strength to climb down, also said loudly, "I...... I'm going to do it too!"

Four friends, you look at me, I look at you, although they are all embarrassed, they see the light burning in each other's faces and eyes.

"If these four little ones don't die, they may have great achievements in the future. Ray was silent all the way, and when he returned to the camp, he didn't busy resting, but said in a deep voice, "I can see that they are very talented!"

"How does it feel to save others and be appreciated?" Sui Xiong asked with a smile.

Ray thought for a while and shook his head: "It's a little boring. But it's not a waste of time to meet four nice young people. ”

After saying that, he wrapped his body in a blanket and lay down to sleep.

Sui Xiong floated in the air, staring at his obvious "sleeping" appearance, and couldn't help but smile again.

He cast the Eye of Faction Identification again, and Ray's body was still red, but the color was much lighter than when he first saw him, no longer so hideous and vicious, but a little mild.

The next day, they walked out of the Greystone Mountains and into the territory of the Gold Coin Federation.

The Gold Federation is a large country located in the western part of the main plane continent, and this country is based on commerce, and it was originally a kingdom of merchants. They did business with the orcs of the Wilderness Empire, with the scales of the Ancient Wood Barren Swamp, with the fishmen of the vast sea, and even by sea with the Principality of Thunder, the Mystic Tower Federation, and the Dhaka Merchant Alliance, thousands of miles to the south. Since the development of the four towns in the Northwest, they have expanded their business with the pioneers who have made their home in the ash forests and on the edge of the barren mountains.

The country consisted of dozens of large and small noble domains, but the status of merchants was just as high. In fact, in this country, a merchant is considered a baron if he has the same wealth as a baron, a viscount if he has the same wealth as a viscount, a count if he has the same wealth as a count, and a marquis if he has as much wealth as a marquis.

- Dukes are not good, because there are no dukes in this country.

In this country, from top to bottom, there is a thirst and pursuit of wealth. This not only created countless heroes who used adventure and pioneering, but also made the common people toiled under all kinds of high taxes. The group of pioneers who were gathered under Rhodes' arrangement were mostly composed of these two kinds of people.

However, Rhodes' recruitment of the Pioneers was in the northern part of the Gold Coin Federation, and Sui Xiong and Lei were now located in the easternmost part of the Gold Coin Federation, far away.

After entering the Gold Coin Federation, the living environment is indeed much stronger than in the Graystone Mountains. That night, Lei who finally slept on the hotel bed laughed contentedly, and Sui Xiong also took the opportunity to pour him chicken soup for the soul and talk about the truth of "contentment and happiness".

I don't know if it's because I'm in a good mood, or if I do feel something, this time Lei didn't refute, smiled, and slept peacefully.

But the next day, when he saw a few shriveled hungry people on the road, he couldn't help but frown.

"The lord of this place is not very competent. He said.

Sui Xiong also shook his head secretly, he knew that under the level of productivity in this world similar to the European Middle Ages, it was inevitable for people to starve to death, but it was still very uncomfortable to see the starvation with his own eyes.

The planktonic jellyfish slowly floated in front of the shriveled corpses, waved their tentacles, and the blue-white cold light fell, turning the last remains of these people who had been trapped to the extreme into fine ice chips, and finally melted into the earth.

Their souls are long gone, and even the great gods can only let them settle in the ground.

After walking a little further, there was another starvation on the side of the road.

Lei's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, and he looked around at the still lush farmland, and there was even annoyance in his eyes.

"Obviously the fields are good, and there are forests and mountains nearby, how can so many people starve to death!"

"It seems that there is something wrong with the lord of this place......" Sui Xiong buried the starving people as well, and whispered, "Why don't we go and investigate?"

"What is there to investigate?" Lei sneered and asked rhetorically, "If the results of the investigation prove that the ruler here is a tyrannical lord, will Your Majesty the Void Mask personally punish him?" First of all, I will not go against a lord for this reason, this is tantamount to provoking all nobles, I am not a madman!"

"You dare to provoke even the gods, what else would you not dare?"

"Provoke all the nobles than trouble a god......"

As they walked, they approached a river that flowed out of the forest. Just as Ray was looking for a bridge to cross the river, he heard a cry for help again......
