Everyone who heard the sound turned their heads to look in the direction from which the voice came from at the same time, only to see that Agrell, dressed in black iron armor, wearing a red cloak on his back, and a silver helmet with antlers on his head, accompanied by two half-orcs who were extremely tall and muscular, walked towards everyone with a wild smile.

"Agrell!" "Agrell!" the minotaur Sangu glared angrily at the bronze skeleton Agrell who was walking towards him, his eyes were blood-red with anger, and his nostrils were open, he could see the nose hair inside, and his mouth was so grinning that even the fangs inside were leaking out, he slowly raised his long axe, and the green tendons on his arms were about to burst.

"Hehehehe," Agrell walked only a few steps away from everyone, the miserable green soul fire in his eyes flashed at Sangu, and then, he also slowly pulled out his skeletal hand from his cloak, and held a half-human-high scimitar engraved with strange patterns in his hand, "Who called you here, little bull, I didn't invite you, are you here to find trouble, let me clean you up first!"

Wang Xu saw that the atmosphere in front of him was not right, and he might be about to fight, he hurriedly stepped forward, stood in the middle of Sangu and Agrell, stretched out his left hand and gently pressed Sangu's arm full of green muscles, and said to Agrell in front of him in a deep voice: "He was invited by me, I asked him to be my bodyguard, no matter what misunderstanding there is between you and him, let it go today, there are only dozens of people under you, if it is damaged here, it will be very difficult on the road." ”

After speaking, Wang Xu squinted at Warren's gang, smiled coldly, squinted his eyes and looked directly at Agrell, and there was a trace of murder in his eyes, these actions were hinting at Agrell: At this moment, there are only a few dozen people around you, which is on par with the forces of Warren next to you, if you fight with Sangu, you will definitely suffer losses, at that time, I will unite with Warren and them, and directly kill you here, and I will take them to Hill City again, so you should be careful.

After listening to Wang Xu's words, and seeing Wang Xu's murderous eyes, the soul fire in Agrell's eyes lingered between Wang Xu and Warren for a long time, and it was obvious that he had understood Wang Xu's hints.

Originally, Agrell thought that Warren's subordinates were only Livka and the three of them, but who knows, when they came in the morning, they actually had more than fifty people, and they were all well-equipped knights, but he was confused for a while, and he only brought thirty people, because of this, he was not only inferior to them in terms of numbers, and even, the strength of his subordinates did not seem to be the opponent of those knights.

After hesitating for a long time, Agrell slowly withdrew the long knife from its scabbard, and put his hand into the cloak, but the soul fire in his eyes was still flickering wildly, obviously, he was still angry, since he couldn't do it, Agrell could only snort coldly and said: "Since it's all here, let's go." ”

With that, Agrell waved his hand behind him, and in an instant, the tents behind him were all closed by his men, and immediately after, his men stood in a phalanx behind him.

After the series of tense things just now, Warren has already understood the relationship between Wang Xu, Agrell and Sangu, and after Agrell compromised, a sudden flash of inspiration, Warren finally figured out that the reason why they didn't fight just now was because of the balance of power of these forces, including himself.

After figuring out the trick, Warren, who was standing behind Wang Xu, squinted his eyes and stared straight at Wang Xu, and couldn't calm down for a long time: What kind of person is that young man named Wang Xu, it is terrible enough to have my strength at a young age, but what is even more terrifying is his ability to use various advantageous conditions to achieve his own goals in an instant, this ability is the embodiment of super wisdom, his wisdom is far beyond me, so, I can't let him go, we must bring him back to the griffin kingdom, then we will get more than just a great magician-level mage, we will get a great wisdom equivalent to thousands of troops。

Since he decided to bring Wang Xu back to the griffin kingdom, Warren began to think about a plan, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't have any good ideas at all, in his opinion, Wang Xu was not short of money at all, he couldn't buy him with money, and he was proficient in human affairs, so he couldn't use his feelings to envelop him, so what should I do......

Suddenly, Warren saw Livka, who was assisting Downs and Sangu in directing the knights on the sidelines, and his eyes flashed, and he suddenly had an idea.

He looked at Livka silently, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, princess, for the future of the griffin kingdom and for the stability of your future position, I can only make you make sacrifices, in fact, that boy named Wang Xu is not bad, he is wise, calm, and strong, and he is definitely worthy of you." ”

At this time, Wang Xu was pulling Sangu to discuss something, how could he know Warren's thoughts, he had been persuading Sangu, and in the end, under the persuasion of reasonable, powerful and restrained, coupled with the offensive of constantly belittling Agrell's character, Sangu finally agreed not to trouble Agrell for the time being.

At this moment, Warren suddenly came to Wang Xu, nodded his head, and said to Wang Xu with a mysterious light in his eyes: "I see that you are walking here, there are no mounts, I happen to have a few war horses here that have lost their masters, you can pick two to use." ”

"Oh, thank you," Wang Xu wanted to refuse, because his cultivation had already reached the first level of foundation building, and when he was still at the seventh level of the Qi cultivation period, he could fly back and forth with the flying sword, he was going to fly over with the flying sword, but when he thought that he still had a Sangu by his side, he instantly gave up this idea and whispered to Warren: "Then we will be disrespectful." ”

After saying that, Wang Xu led Sangu to follow Warren to their ranks, and chose the most inconspicuous of the well-equipped warhorses that had lost their masters, while Sangu chose the tallest and fiercest warhorse.

After all, the strength of Wang Xu and Sangu was there, and the two war horses that were picked were originally very arrogant, but when the two of them leaked a little bit of strength, the two war horses were scared and only trembled, where did they still have the courage to be arrogant.

The fifty Terran knights who were already riding their horses around them were all surprised when they saw Wang Xu and Sangu selecting horses at the back of their team, and everyone was asking the same question: Why did the young alchemist of the Terran mix with a Minotaur of the Orcs?

In the western continent, the orc empire in the south and the three human kingdoms in the north have been fighting wars for nearly thousands of years, and who doesn't have a few relatives who died at the hands of orcs, so the humans in the western continent hate the smelly orcs more than the terrible undead creatures.

The knights were very surprised, but Wang Xu felt even more surprised, when he was choosing a war horse, he found that Warren beside him had been looking at him with a wonderful look, and Wang Xu's hairs stood up, and he thought evilly: That old man Warren won't like men, shouldn't it, there are more than 50 men here, and I haven't seen him close to any man, is he suddenly brainless, then I have to hide a little.

Just when Wang Xu rode on his war horse and found that Warren was still looking at him with a wonderful look, a creepy voice came from not far away, and he heard the owner of the voice, Agrell, shouting in front of him: "Let's go!"

As soon as the roar fell, the team began to advance, Agrell and his team of orcs marching on foot in front, Warren's cavalry team following, Wang Xu and Sangu walking at the front of the cavalry team alongside Warren, Livka, Downs, and Thornton.

The whole team walked west along the southern shore of Lake Ether, feeling the cool breeze blowing from the lake, listening to the sound of the lake being stirred up by the breeze, smelling the fragrance of lavender on the shore, and watching the hares and elks that occasionally passed through the forest.

If you think about how they got this way, it was indeed the easiest time for them, for the year had passed, they had crossed the winds of the Endless Sea, they had walked through the darkness and treachery of the Forest of the Dead, they had sacrificed more than half of their companions, and by this time they were tired, physically and mentally.

This kind of exhaustion is also due, and people will feel physically and mentally exhausted if they suddenly relax after a long period of mental stress.

Unlike these relaxed cavalrymen, Wang Xu's spirit was still very nervous, and so was Sangu, the two of them had walked this road countless times, and they knew how dangerous it was around it, especially when it was close to Lake Ether, let alone safety.

Because he knew that there were many powerful and crazy demonic beasts in this lake, Wang Xu continued to move forward while casually releasing some fist-sized paper cranes.

Wang Xu applied spiritism on these paper cranes, and he could use these paper cranes to check the surrounding situation, but unfortunately, Wang Xu's cultivation was only the first order of foundation building, so the power of his spiritism was not very strong, and he could only let these paper cranes fly out a thousand meters away, and he could only let them fly a hundred meters high.

Looking at Wang Xu, who had been releasing psychic paper cranes, Livka finally couldn't help it and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Look around here," Wang Xu replied in a low voice after squinting at Livka, "It looks peaceful here, but it's not safe, especially near the lake." ”

After listening to Wang Xu's words, Warren originally wanted to ask what was in the lake, but in order to create an opportunity for Livka to chat with Wang Xu alone, he just silently closed his eyes and recuperated.

Sure enough, Livka, who was very curious, opened her mouth and asked Wang Xu, "What's in this lake?"

"I don't know, it's different every time I pass by," Wang Xu smiled awkwardly, shook his head slightly, and said, "I heard from the people in the town that there are many high-order demonic beasts living in the lake, and some people are unlucky and have encountered ninth-order demonic beasts." ”

"What, ninth-order demonic beast!" Livka listened to Wang Xu's answer, her eyebrows were raised, and her eyes were wide as she looked at him, "Then aren't we in danger now?"

Warren, who was still closing his eyes and recuperating on the side just now, also frowned worriedly at the moment, and the staff in his hand was grasped more tightly, ready to face the battle at any time, in fact, he had long been accustomed to this nervous feeling, all because of the terrifying experience in the forest of the dead.

"Yes, there is no way," Wang Xu sighed, and said helplessly: "This is the safest road to the entrance of the Cat's Paw Trail, and the other roads must go over mountains and mountains, and even cross Lake Ether, compared to this road, the Dark Mountains and Lake Ether are more dangerous." ”

Before the words fell, Livka saw Wang Xu's face change, and her eyes suddenly widened.

Before she could ask what Wang Xu had discovered, she heard Agrell in the team in front of her shout: "Be careful, something has come out of the lake......
