It's been almost twenty days since Viru left Dodan Town, and there is still no news.

Surdak sent a squadron of cavalry to search the edge of the Monster Forest for a long time, but could not find any trace of him.

He suspected that Viru might have crossed the Valley of the Dark Worms and continued his exploration to the north.

The hunt in the Dodan Gorge continues, and the aborigines of the town only dare to operate near the northern city wall, and only the mercenary regiment and cavalry battalion squadron dare to go deep into the middle of the canyon to search for the magical beasts active in that area.

As the Ghost Leopard and the Moonblade Fire Wolf continue to flood into the Dodan Gorge, they are the first target of hunters, especially the Ghost Leopard, whose fur has a natural jungle camouflage effect, and although it is a first-class magical beast, it is still highly sought after by leather masters.

This kind of magical beast is usually difficult to catch in the jungle, but it is only after they burrow into the Dodan Canyon that they become traceable.

Andrew was lying in the grass, surrounded by waist-high white-pole sword grass, this season's sword grass has spit out seed ears, fluffy like a small rod rushing into the sky, patches of white-rod sword grass look like wheat fields, when the wind blows, it continues to rise and fall, forming waves of wheat.

The Nanai indigenous warriors were followed by a squadron of cavalry, all lying quietly in the grass.

Surdak was in the grass two meters in front of Andrew.

If it weren't for the fact that he could still see his red leather armor through the cracks in the grass, Andrew would have barely felt his presence.

Andrew waited a little impatiently, he supported his body with his arms, crawled on the grass little by little, crawled to Surdak's side, spit out the half-chewed straw in his mouth, and whispered to Surdak: "Could it be that he ran away?" ”

"Wait, I can feel it's there, I just can't see it!" Surdak whispered as he stared at a waterhole under the dirt slope.

"It's waiting for us to leave!" Andrew said.

"Let's both go back and try."

Surdak made a gesture to Samira on the other side, and then lay down in the grass with Andrew, and fell back little by little.

On the top of the dirt slope, only Samira is left that is almost integrated with the surrounding white-pole sword grass.

Half-elf archers have half elven blood in their bodies, and they are born with the ability to be in harmony with nature, and are good at hiding in nature.

A quarter of an hour later, a ripple suddenly appeared on the edge of the pool, and the halo continued to spread outward, and the head of a ghost leopard appeared next to the pool, and then the front half of its body was revealed.

It is slender and toned, and its body is as off-white as that of the white-roded sword grass, with even blade-like markings on it.

He crouched on the edge of the waterhole and licked his bearded mouth, making him feel a little thirsty after hunting an otter rabbit in the morning.

It found a pool.

As it reached the edge of the pool, the beast instinctively sensed a dangerous sense of oppression in the distance, and made it crouch in the grass and not move.

Finally waiting for the feeling of oppression to disappear, it wanted to take the opportunity to escape from here quickly, but when it saw the clear pool water in front of it, it hesitated, leaned forward slightly, and licked the pool water with its tongue.

A ripple appeared on the water......

The moment it sensed danger, Samira had loosened the bowstring of the withered painting, and two steel arrows flew out one after the other against the ears of grass, their sharp blades cutting through the soft blades of blade grass.

When the grass clippings flew, two arrows flew fifty meters in an instant.

The ghost leopard's body was like a giant spring, bouncing backwards at an incredible angle, but it was still unable to dodge, and was shot in the front leg by an arrow from behind.

Andrew rose from the grass, alloy bow in hand, and beckoned the cavalry on the hillside to catch up.

A lame ghost leopard couldn't be much faster, not to mention the fact that blood was still dripping from its legs, and the blood was stained between the blades of grass.

The last thing these cavalry who came out of the barren land lacked was forbearance and adaptability to the harsh environment, and they sprang out of the grass, fanned out, and chased after the ghost leopard who was desperately fleeing.

The cavalry in front rushed to the pool under the dirt slope, and they could not catch up with the ghost leopard, even if the ghost leopard was wounded in one leg.

But the cavalry that followed them, whistling past them on their horses, found the ghost leopard in a small bush.

Just as it was about to jump up and hurt people, the cavalry in front raised the knight's light shield in his hand, and the cavalry behind hurriedly stabbed the war spear in his hand......

……

Andrew rode his horse, carried the soft ghost leopard in his hand, and came to Surdak's side.

"What a ghost leopard! Boss, how the hell did you find it? ”

Andrew threw the ghost leopard to Surdak, but was picked up by Sami who was standing aside.

It was a young ghost leopard, weighing only eighty or ninety pounds, and Samira easily carried it in her hand, and she pulled out the steel arrow from the ghost leopard's leg, and she broke the ghost leopard's closed lips with her hand, looking at the sharp teeth inside.

"It's a very subtle perception, and I can't tell." Surdak said.

He thought of that morning, when he was lying in bed, letting his perception spread to his surroundings constantly, it was a wonderful feeling, the divine aura in his body and the magical elements in the surrounding air produced a faint vibration, according to these subtle information feedback, the spiritual consciousness sea could build the surrounding scenery, as if he had another pair of eyes.

Taking the ghost leopard handed over by Samira, Surdak did not rush to peel the skin, but waved his hand to let the rest of the cavalry mount.

He stuffed the ghost leopard corpse directly into his magic waist bag and said to his men, "Let's go, don't delay here, I'm afraid the indigenous friends of the Dakuni tribe are already waiting impatiently on the other side of the canyon." ”

The deal with the natives was delayed for nearly half a month before the second shipment was completed.

However, this time the four-wheeled carriage could not cross the canyon, so Surdak had to take two squadrons of cavalry, carrying goods on horses, through the canyon to deliver to the Dakuni tribe waiting at the entrance of the canyon.

Samira wore almost the same style of salamander leather armor as Surdak, and her slender body fully reflected the good qualities of salamander leather, the softness and tension of which wrapped her body tightly. It seemed that he had never noticed before that the thighs of this half-elf archer were so round and slender......

Surdak shook his head vigorously, and the distracting thoughts that had suddenly risen in his heart cleared his mind, and he felt as if he should go back to Wall Village once.

……

The indigenous tribes were ready to take refuge in the mountains, and only by climbing to the snow-filled peaks of the Thorny Mountains, which were forbidden areas for the ghostly red ants to enter.

The Dodan Gorge belongs to the middle section of the Thorn Mountains, the biggest feature of the mountain here is that from the halfway point of the mountain, there are stone swords like sharp swords erected between the mountains, these stone swords are of different lengths, the long ones are almost tens of meters, the short ones are only a few meters, they are close together, there are almost no gaps, and the peak and the foot of the mountain are completely isolated into two worlds.

The summit of the mountain is covered with snow all year round and is always hidden above the clouds.

Only the elders of the indigenous tribes have the hands of the hidden path through the middle of the Thorn Mountain, and they can pass through those stone swords and thorns and hide on the cold summit before the beast tide arrives.

There was a lack of subsistence supplies, and the mountain could only be climbed if food and cold protection were prepared.

Two squadrons of cavalry, carrying a large number of supplies, carefully bypassed the Moonblade Fire Wolves, which had occupied the forest area at the mouth of the canyon, and came to the intersection between the canyon and the hills.

This is where a deal was agreed with the Dakuni tribe.

The border line of the originally occupied zone in the north has long been completely lost, and the cavalry battalion has not been out of the canyon for half a month and patrols along the border line.

The hilly land in front of him has been completely reduced to a wild land, and many demonic beasts and poisonous insects that have come out of the Demonic Beast Forest have appeared in groups, and they have driven the Moonblade Fire Wolf Clan into the Duodan Canyon, obviously these groups of demonic beasts outside the canyon are even more dangerous.

If you want to hunt Warcraft here, it's not so easy, only the powerful Warcraft will become a lone wolf on this hunting ground, the vast majority of low-level Warcraft appear in groups, these Warcraft have the ability to manipulate magic, once they anger the entire group, many times they face a large-scale covering magic attack.

Not far away is a group of Blackridge Ice Horned Rhinoceros, which are said to be a rare second-order magical beast that can only be found in the northern part of Invercargill's Magical Beast Forest.

The group of black-ridged icehorned rhinos, numbering about three hundred, were on the top of a hilly slope, occupying a large area of bushes, which seemed to be their favorite food.

At the foot of the mountain gathered a group of iron-backed man-bears, numbering about seventy or eighty, and these two groups of demonic beasts seemed to have their eyes on this hill at the same time.

Ironback bears seldom gathered, and this giant beast, which was almost unbridled on the edge of Invercargill's Monster Forest, was now seventy or eighty of them gathered together and rushed up the hillside together.

The iron-backed bears are also very agile when they run, but those black-ridged ice horned rhinos are not afraid of them at all, and the crystal-like rhinoceros horns on their foreheads light up with magic patterns, and then ice arrows fall from the sky......

If a single Blackridge Ice Horned Rhino released an ice arrow, it would be almost useless.

But hundreds of Blackridge Ice Horned Rhinoceros released ice arrows at the same time, causing a blizzard to fall under the hills in an instant.

In the midst of this blizzard, a semicircular earth shield lit up from time to time on the ironback bear's body.

It's a pity that although the iron-backed bear is strong, it still can't stop the wind and snow, and soon a thick layer of ice shell condenses on its body, and its movements become sluggish.

Originally, it was less than two hundred meters away, like a moat in front of them.

A quarter of an hour later, the snow-soaked ironback bears were defeated......

……

Surdak and his squadron of knights hid in a col between the hills, near which grew some wild rosegrass with a faint smell, many monsters did not like the smell of this plant, which was close to the wooded area at the mouth of the valley.

As soon as the cavalry squadron arrived, a group of indigenous warriors ran out of the woods next to it.

This time it was the same indigenous warrior of Dakuni who led the team, and Surdak never knew his name.

In the middle of the procession of the natives were four natives carrying a stretcher with a tattered chair tied to it, on which the great elder of the Dakuni tribe sat steadily, his short stature and body curled up together, like a thin and small black monkey, holding a blackened and shiny humanoid cane in his hand.

Surdak stepped out of the ranks of the cavalry and stood at the front.

The Great Elder also raised his cane in the air, and the four topless natives walked out briskly with their chairs, and the surrounding natives stepped out of the way.

The Native Grand Elder came to Surdak with a faint smile on his wrinkled face.

"Young knight, you are indeed a trustworthy person, and you have brought the supplies we need most." The Native Grand Elder's voice was not very loud, but Surdak could hear it very clearly.

Surdak waved his hand, and the cavalry behind him walked up one by one, piling up the supplies on horseback in front of the Great Elder.

Soon it formed a small hill, and several indigenous warriors ran out and checked it in their wake.

Only then did he hand over a tattered back basket to Surdak.

Surdak opened the lid of the basket and looked inside, and was a little speechless: a bundle of silver-leaved grass and some sun-dried kudzu were inside, like a basket of rotten cabbage......

These herbs, which are almost impossible to buy in the Imperial Magic Shop, seem to be really worthless in the eyes of the natives.

Seeing Surdak frowning, as if he was a little dissatisfied, the Native Grand Elder waved his hand again, and then another Native ran out and handed Surdak another basket of herbs.

"Recently, the herbs in the forest have become difficult to collect, so that's all." The Native Grand Elder said with a look of embarrassment.

"These magic herbs are enough in exchange for those supplies, judging by the current value of these herbs...... I might even have to take advantage of it! Surdak did his best not to look too proud.

He lowered his voice and gave a very pertinent assessment.

"Then we can conclude this transaction happily, and I hope that after this beast tide is over, we can continue to cooperate." The Native Grand Elder seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and waved his hand, allowing the accompanying Native warriors to carry the supplies in front of them.

After that, they will return to the woods with the natives.

"Wait a minute, Great Elder, have you ever thought about it...... These warriors of the Dakuni tribe under your command accept my employment? ”

As the natives were about to turn around, Surdak suddenly called out to the natives Grand Elder and asked him.

The Native Grand Elder raised the black wooden cane in his hand again, and the group immediately stopped.

His eyes widened and he turned his head to look at Surdak, and that somewhat glowing gaze seemed to see Surdak's heart again, so that Surdak's mind could not be hidden.

It feels very uncomfortable to be seen through all of a sudden.

Surdak remembered that when he used the spiritual power of the Spiritual Consciousness Sea to resist, the Native Grand Elder had already withdrawn his gaze.

"You want to hire my children to help you fend off the tide?"

The Native Grand Elder asked slowly, his expression a little solemn.
