The shield charge was launched, Catherine's speed increased suddenly, and the whole person was like a galloping Valkyrie, with fluttering black hair, shining silver armor, proud and high head, flashing battle eyes, although the faces were different, but for a moment, the two shadows coincided in Pannis's eyes.

Silvery light flashes.

The distance between the two sides of the duel flickered five meters, and Catherine, who turned into a silver lightning bolt, had crossed the five meters of safety in an instant and rushed to the side of the leader of the ape. In Catherine's eyes, which was advancing at high speed, the huge leader made every qiē as if it was in slow motion, slowly showing a stunned expression, slowly swinging the giant stick horizontally with one hand, and slowly moving the other hand to move to the front of the body to defend. But it was all in vain, and after thousands of practices, Catherine was already too familiar with these basic skills, and her excessive speed could not limit her movements at all. In the charge, she only fine-tuned the center in time, and there was an extremely slight change in the direction of the attack, just avoiding the leader's arm that had not been defended in time, and slammed into the leader's chest with her shield.

The dull crash sound reappeared, and the two figures parted with a touch, flew out a few meters to each side and fell to the ground. At the last moment of being hit, the leader of the mountain ape used the occasional effective Douqi shield in time, and the talisman Douqi blocked Catherine's head-on impact, only to be bounced and fell by the force of the impact. And Catherine was also bounced away by the shock force brought by the impact, but because she had been prepared, she stood up with the help of several consecutive rolls on the ground with her strength, and the huge impact force was skillfully distributed and resolved because of her familiarity with the skill, and did not cause serious damage.

"What is Senior Sister thinking?" Dora almost jumped up in anger after the impact, and said anxiously: "Why didn't you hit with your fighting spirit? ”

Pannis also frowned and looked at Catherine, the calm expression on her face did not change, and there was no hesitation or panic in her eyes, just looking at it for a while, Pannis suddenly understood: "I'm afraid she won't use Dou Qi this time." ”

"What do you mean?" said Dora, barely believing her ears.

Literally. Pannis shrugged: "Catherine is probably prepared not to defeat her opponent with a fighting spirit." ”

"Why?" Dora looked at Pannis, "Have you discussed?"

"No, I guessed it. Pannis said helplessly: "As for the reason, is it enough to challenge yourself and break through yourself?"

Dora slapped her forehead hard, her shoulders drooped in frustration, and she moaned weakly, "Oh my God, why do you have to work so hard. Even if there is a pastor, even if you are sure of victory, you can't completely ignore the injury, and you don't persuade her. ”

"Is it useful to persuade her?" Pannis, with his hands spread out, with a wry smile on his face: "You also know her character, who can persuade her to do what you believe?" Alas, knight, it will always be like this, and you dare to say that you are not like this?"

"Well, I don't dare. Dora gave up on trying to persuade Catherine, and there was a change on the field.

The leader who got up looked at the Dou Qi on his body, and his inflexible brain also knew that his Dou Qi often couldn't be released, since it was successfully cast this time, it couldn't be turned off immediately, otherwise it might fail when he tried to use it again. After understanding this, the leader roared, poured his fighting energy into his arms, and smashed it down with a stick that had increased several times his strength. Catherine still didn't choose to dodge, or even block, just stood motionless, her iris standing vertically in the rubble, clinging to her left side. It wasn't until the giant stick came to her that Catherine moved half a step to the right side under the stunned gazes of several girls, the lower end of the shield was still inserted into the ground, and the upper end was slightly tilted about ten degrees, so that the shield formed an acute angle of eighty degrees with the ground, and at the same time, many other parts of the shoulder, legs, arms, wrists, and even many other parts of the body were tightly attached to the inside of the shield, firmly fixing the iris shield made of magic steel.

The stick and the shield struck, and the thick wooden stick smashed on the outside of the shield, but the force was deflected by the excessive angle, and it slashed through the shield from the side and smashed heavily on the ground. And the small part that was initially transmitted to the shield was shared between Catherine's body and the ground, and the ease of Cheng dù even surpassed the first two head-on collisions without the use of fighting energy.

"After this battle, I'm afraid she will break through to the golden high level. Seeing that Catherine easily received the blow infused with the opponent's gold-level fighting spirit with simple combat skills, Pannis sighed softly, and inexplicably came out with such a comment in a weak voice.

"The eldest sister is about to break through?" Lina, who was originally standing next to Pannis, watching the battle intently, turned around and whispered, "Can you see it?"

"Yes. Pannis nodded and said: "What a knight needs to be promoted from the middle rank of gold to the high rank is not the accumulation of energy and the mastery of combat skills, but the ability to use his own strength. Like Catherine just now, she had already touched the threshold of the golden high level. ”

"What about the legend?" Lina didn't give Pannis time to think, and lowered her voice and asked urgently, "What does a legend need?"

Pannis was also lowered by Lina's voice, and only she and Vivien, who were standing beside her, could hear: "All kinds of aspects, the accumulation of energy, the proficiency of combat skills, the improvement of physical fitness, the tempering of physical strength, the mastery of combat skills, all aspects need to be continuously accumulated, and then the most important thing is a little bit of understanding when you reach the limit." The vast majority of people fail in this understanding, and without this understanding, they will always be stuck in the legendary level, until they are over forty years old and begin to fall from the peak, and then lose the possibility of advancing to the legend forever. Hey, well, I'm also taught by my friends, so I'll show it off, hahahaha. ”

"Sure enough, it's a fool. Lina covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's so stupid." ”

"Yes, stupid. Vivien nodded, reiterating, "Don't worry, I said I wouldn't discriminate against stupid people." ”

"You two guys are so annoying. Pannis said with a smile: "Attention, fierce is coming." ”

The leader couldn't understand why his attack was inexplicably lured to the ground, but that didn't stop him from continuing to wield the club. Holding the thick stick in both hands, he raised it again, swung it behind his back and swept it out horizontally. Catherine still didn't use her fighting spirit, and quickly took a few steps forward, her shield blocked the root of the wooden stick and the hands of the leader holding the stick, although her hands were not injured under the protection of her fighting energy, but the heavy wooden stick almost flew out of her hand due to inertia. Taking this opportunity, Catherine's long sword was swung, and although it could not cause much damage to the flesh and body of the Golden Rank because she did not use Dou Qi, it still left a shallow scar on the leader's shoulder without the protection of Dou Qi.

"You can't switch between attack and defense at will. Dora pouted, "It's lost." ”

"It's useless to be able to switch between them at will. Pannis said: "If you continue to use it like this, you will soon run out of fighting energy, and he will lose when the time comes." ”

"Roar, roar, roar. The wounded leader was furious, stamped his feet furiously, and attacked Catherine in succession. Catherine didn't dodge once from start to finish, just the simplest of parrying, and then swinging her sword. Each time, the shield was able to block the leader's weakest position in time, and each sword left a scar on the leader's body.

Two minutes later, the leader of the frenzied attack was already exhausted and panting, and his body was covered with wounds, and suddenly he let out a wail, threw away the stick in his hand, and curled up on the ground with his head in his hands, motionless, as a sign of obedience and submission. Catherine was stunned, took a few steps forward, raised her long sword and gently slapped the leader's head a few times with the spine of the sword, and turned around and walked back to her position with a faint smile on her face.

"Welcome back. Lina and Vivien raised their right hands in turn, and collided with Catherine's hand in the air, making a crisp sound, and Catherine still raised her right hand, smiling in front of Pannis, looking into his eyes. Gazing at the clear gaze of the female knight, Pannis sighed helplessly in his heart, and skillfully stretched out his hand to fight Catherine, and a smile appeared on his face: "Congratulations, great golden high-rank knight." ”

The leader of the mountain apes on the ground stood up again surrounded by nine companions, scratching his head blankly, as if he couldn't believe that he had lost like this. Confused for a while, he finally accepted the reality, walked to the human side alone, stood in front of Catherine and roared, and didn't dare to peek at Dora's body with his eyes again. Pannis took the initiative to greet him, and also responded with body language, relieving Catherine's embarrassment. After exchanging for a while, Pannis patted the leader's arm, and the leader nodded, turned and prepared to leave with his people.

"Solved?" asked Catherine, "there won't be any unexpected troubles." ”

"No, it's all solved, thanks to our beautiful Dora, hahaha. Pannis laughed teasingly.

"Bastard Pannis. Dora glared at Pannis indignantly: "You wait for me, sooner or later I will take revenge." ”

"This is a compliment to you, haha, hurry up and get ready to go, it's been a lot of delay. Halfway through his words, Pannis was suddenly stunned, and after a moment of silence, his eyes lit up, and he smashed his palm: "How did I forget, hey, wait a minute, roar." ”

The nine men grew their mouths and watched in amazement as Pannis quickly caught up with the group of mountain apes that were about to leave, pulling the leader aside to discuss something.

"What's wrong with him?" Dora bumped Catherine with her shoulder, "Why did you suddenly take the initiative to find trouble?"

"If you ask me, I don't know. Catherine spread her hands helplessly: "I'm afraid there are some new ideas." ”

Pannis first used body language to communicate with the leader, but after a long time of difficult communication, he could not explain clearly, and finally reluctantly picked up a clod of earth and began to draw on another large stone slab, roaring in various senses as he drew his mouth. This time, the way of communication was smoother, and the leader finally understood Pannis's thoughts, scratched his head and hesitated for a few seconds before nodding in agreement, but first he called out with a roar to a few female mountain apes who were hiding from afar, and instructed them to carefully move the painted stone slabs back to the camp.

Pannis smiled with satisfaction, walked back to everyone's puzzled eyes, and asked loudly: "Everyone, the mountain ape transport team, one-to-one manpower transportation service, arrived on the bank of the Nalamia River in six hours, the scenery along the way is beautiful and the climate is pleasant, does anyone want to sign up?"
