Chapter 46: Heart-to-Heart

"We meet again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Albert smiled.

"It's you. Before he could finish speaking, the mercenary drew her longbow and fired an arrow, whistling towards Albert.

Albert raised his right hand, and for a moment, dark red dragon scales were dense. Then, he handed over his knife and slashed the arrow vertically. The mercenary didn't stop, pushed back a few meters, and pulled the longbow again. But Albert didn't give the mercenary a chance to shoot, and rushed forward like lightning, grabbing the mercenary by the throat with his right hand, and stabbing the mercenary in the chest with his left hand. Seeing this, the female mercenary was shocked, but her movements did not stop for a minute. She discarded her longbow and drew the two daggers at her waist to block Albert's attack.

Albert grabbed the dagger in his right hand and blocked the other with his sword in his left hand, and the two sides reached a stalemate.

In fact, Albert could have already won, as long as he used the power of fire. But he didn't do that, wanting to test his strength. After fighting Scar Man, his physical strength has increased slightly, so I want to see if my current physical strength can be compared to a five-star martial artist.

As time passed, the mercenary's hands began to tremble, and her heart was horrified, where did this kid come out of the monster.

"I throw in the towel!"

After a few more moments, the mercenary begged for mercy and withdrew her hands in a desperate manner.

Albert's dragon claw stopped a centimeter away from the mercenary's head, his eyes flickering and hesitating.

Although Albert had killed many people, he had never poisoned a woman, and he had never thought of killing a woman before, not even a femme fatale.

Finally, Albert looked at Joanna and wanted her opinion.

"Let her go. Joanna pursed her lips.

Albert nodded and withdrew his right hand.

"Thank you. The mercenary said.

However, before the words could be spoken, the mercenary reached out with a dagger and struck Albert in the chest.

"Be careful!"

"Bell!"

Joanna's exclamation and the sound of metal striking rang out almost simultaneously.

The mercenary's pupils shrank, and she looked at the broken dagger in her hand, and saw that Albert was wearing a dark red scale armor inside his leather armor.

"Get out!"

Albert roared, furious. If it weren't for the dragon scales on his chest, I'm afraid his heart would have been pierced. At the same time, he kicked a whip kick that struck the mercenary three meters away.

Looking at the mercenary who fell to the ground and struggled and convulsed, Albert's expression was gloomy.

But in the end, he left with Joanna, failing to kill the killer, he couldn't go against his principles, that was his truth.

※※※

The Misty Forest is as oppressive as ever.

The two walked forward silently, and for a long time, Joanna smiled, somewhat reluctantly.

"Thank you, Aber. She said.

"It's nothing. Albert shrugged. "Don't forget that we are friends. He reminded Joanna.

"Indeed, we are friends. Joanna nodded.

Looking at each other and smiling, the two fell silent again.

Time passed, and before I knew it, the sun god was in the middle of the sky.

The misty forest in the afternoon is quiet and peaceful, as if someone has cast a silent enchantment. The monsters were lazily basking in the sun, and even the birds and insects were quiet. In the vast misty forest, only two young hearts could be heard. Although they were speechless for a long time, their hearts slowly drew closer. The frequencies of the two hearts gradually synchronized, and invisible chains slowly emerged, binding them together.

"How did you know I was kidnapped?" Joanna tilted her head and looked at Albert.

"Huh, what are you talking about?" Albert was stunned. He had been immersed in his own lust, no, fantasies, so he didn't hear Joanna say anything.

"I ask you how you know I've been kidnapped. Joanna said dissatisfied.

"Of course I do. Albert smiled. Under Joanna's questioning, he briefly outlined the process of discovering Joanna, tracking the mercenary team, and killing Scar Man.

Joanna nodded, Albert's account was casual and lighthearted, but she could feel the difficulty.

"You recognize me just by your lips?" Joanna narrowed her eyes.

"And the nose. Albert replied earnestly.

"You're such an honest bad boy. Joanna sighed helplessly, then glared at Albert fiercely. Obviously, this was not the answer Joanna wanted. All the girl wants is a compliment that doesn't matter whether it's true or not.

"Did I say the wrong thing?" Albert looked at Joanna blankly, confused.

※※※

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Joanna gradually regained her former calm and agility, and the two of them gradually talked more. Joanna's empathy made Albert let go of the inferiority complex hidden in his heart, and Albert's composure made Joanna even more impressed.

The lifeless misty forest reverberated with laughter.

During the day, while on their way, Albert and Joanna would discuss Warcraft and plants. In the evenings, the duo light a bonfire and barbecue meat while telling stories about their childhoods. But it's usually Joanna who tells the story, and Albert is only responsible for listening and roasting. In Albert's memory, there weren't many happy times in his childhood. Even if there is, there is a slight sourness in it.

Of course, even the best friends will have times when they disagree.

Whenever Albert captures a delicious little monster, Joanna will do everything she can to cause trouble, even at the risk of starvation.

In the evening.

"One more day out of the Misty Forest. Albert looked at the map, then at Joanna, a little reluctant.

"We're best friends wherever we are. Joanna guessed Albert's thoughts.

"Of course. Albert nodded.

Suddenly, a white light flashed through Albert's arms.

Albert looked down and saw a small snow-white snow tiger lying in his arms.

"It's so cute. ”

"Damn, it's you again!"

The first words came from Joanna's mouth, and the swear words at the back were Albert's heartfelt words. As the words fell, Albert ignored Joanna's angry gaze and picked up the snow tiger and was about to throw it aside. But Snow Tiger's agility was beyond Albert's imagination. The little one ran down Albert's arm to his head, and then he fell on his stomach, four little furry paws grabbing Albert's hair.

"What are you doing?" said Joanna angrily. As she spoke, she reached out to hug Xuehu, but she didn't pull it down.

"It's a broom star!" Albert shouted like a dwarf.

"A cute little guy just that. Joanna was a little dissatisfied. "Have you seen it?" she asked him. Although Joanna was a little upset, it was the first time she had seen Albert, who was so composed, lose his temper.

"I don't have time to explain. Albert grinned and dragged Snow Tiger and said anxiously, "Joe, help me pull it down." ”

"I think it's pretty good. Joanna took a few steps back and smiled.

"We're going to be in trouble!" Albert cried.

"What hemp ......"

Before Joanna could finish her words, a heaven-shattering beast roar suddenly sounded. Immediately afterwards, a giant bull with a body length of more than three meters rushed out of the grass and glared at the two of them, to be precise, at the little snow tiger.

"Ground Splitter!" exclaimed Joanna.

"I know. Albert smiled bitterly, and also recognized this powerful earth-based six-star demonic beast. The Rip Bull has a docile temperament, but only if you don't provoke it. He knew that as long as he saw this broom star, it must be fine. But Albert wondered why the little snow tiger always found him? He shook his head, retracted his thoughts, and stopped in front of Joanna: "Hide, leave this big guy to me." ”

"You can't beat it. Joanna shook her head firmly, "I have to stay and help you." ”

"Trust me, you're really helping me when you're hiding. Albert said mercilessly. This is the truth, but if it were not for such a critical moment, he would not have said it.

Joanna was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily. She knew that Albert was right, and that she was only making a mess here.

"Be careful. Joanna ran back quickly, her words mixed with bitterness.

"Moo!"

The Earth Splitter Ox galloped in, a golden glow that symbolized the earth element, and its weight of nearly 3,000 pounds made the earth tremble and rumble.

Albert moved two meters sideways, dodging the impact of the Groundbreaker and smashing his fist into the bull's eye.

"Bang!"

Albert's attack was unsuccessful, and the Ripper shook his head and knocked him out of the way, only to stop when he hit the trunk of a tree five meters away.

"Humph!"

White gas erupted from the large nostrils of the Ripper, and Albert's appearance was reflected in a pair of large yellow bull eyes. It did not continue to attack, as if it was intent on provoking Albert, and as if it was gathering all its strength, intending to deliver a fatal blow to its opponent.

Albert held on to the trunk of the tree and struggled to his feet.

The huge impact force made him feel as if he had been crushed by a boulder, and he couldn't lift half of his strength, and every time he breathed, he would be in severe pain, as if his internal organs had been shattered. But Albert was not afraid at all, just stared at the Ripper. The pain of piercing his heart inspired his unyielding fighting spirit, and the provocative actions of the Earth Splitter Ox made the dragon blood in his body burn fiercely. Dragons are the ultimate in the evolution of life, and a true adult dragon can subjugate all beasts with sheer might. Although his bloodline has not yet fully awakened, and even though he is only a half-dragon, the honor of the dragon clan tells him that he would rather die than endure the humiliation of the demonic beast.

"Roar!"

Albert roared, and the dragon roared. His eyes turned scarlet, and he rose to the ground like arrows from a string, and smashed his fist into the Groundbreaker.

"Boom!"

Albert's fist slammed into Earthbreaker's head, making a loud noise.

The Ripper took a step back, Bobo's blood dripping from his head.

Albert is even worse, although he has dragon blood and surging battle intent, the difference in strength is too great.

Albert felt as if he had smashed into a centimeter-thick steel plate, and the impact caused his bones to penetrate his shoulders and twist his entire arm. The huge impact of the Rip Bull knocked him more than ten meters away, knocking down a thigh-thick tree along the way. Albert gritted his teeth and tried to get up, but couldn't move.
