Duke left the Intracity on the 1st of February, and on the afternoon of the 3rd, he crossed the Dark Abyss Rift and arrived at the Outpost of Hope. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It was already February, but the change in temperature could be felt from the moment he left the royal city, especially near the Seth Iceberg, and he couldn't fly for the rest of the road, so he rested at the outpost for the night.

When it was time to leave the next morning, he suddenly noticed something he had not expected: there was not a single horned eagle in the enclosure.

Asked the Horned Hippogriff Administrator, and the answer he got was that there were a lot of materials to be transported away from the outpost, and the Hippogriff had not been enough for the past few days, and even the one he rode back from last night was ridden away because there was an urgent matter to deal with.

Duke's expression remained unchanged and he asked, "Did this happen a lot before?"

The ten horned eagle beasts were all gone, so that the outpost as a transit station had no flying mounts available, the administrator was a little embarrassed, and said: "There have been before, but there are very few, mainly because at that time, the tribe wanted to gain a foothold in the Hope Forest, and the consumption in all aspects was very large, so it was necessary to transport materials frequently, and sometimes there would be a situation where there were not enough horned eagle beasts...... If you're not in a hurry, you can wait here, and the Hippogriff should be back in the next two days......"

In order to prevent accidents on the road, Duke set off in advance, he could afford to wait for two days, but the next road could not fly, so why waste that time?

Next to it was the blackhoof snow leopard, a cheetah species endemic to the vicinity of Seth Iceberg, which was used by the sentinels for patrolling, so he borrowed one and continued on his way.

In order not to affect the daily defense of the outpost, the snow leopard lent to him was a little older, but in addition to the fact that the comfort was slightly worse than that of the horned eagle beast, it could not travel continuously, and it had to rest once every two hours, and the speed was enough.

Of course, the so-called old horse knows the way, and it is very easy to ride this older snow leopard, and it will move along the road without bothering to control it, and it will also avoid some ferocious beasts passing by in advance.

After resting twice, they passed a post station, and according to the time, they could rush to the next post station in the evening to rest.

From the White Lake Tribe to the Royal City, the road near the Seth Iceberg is the most difficult to walk, just after walking a steep slope, in front of a narrow mountain road formed by the gap between the two mountains, due to the perennial lack of sunlight, this mountain road is unusually cold and oppressive, and the bright place in front of it seems that it can never be reached.

So, when he walked out of this mountain road and felt the warm sun shining on him, Duke couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he saw a man and a rider standing on the cliff on the right hand side.

He was spotted almost at the same time, and the man let out a hoarse grin, stepped onto his mount, and rushed in this direction.

Duke's heart sank, and he pulled his mount and took a few steps into the open field ahead.

The opponent's mount was a liger beast with a length of nearly four meters, one of the fastest mounts on land, and it took less than half a minute to rush to the front, while the snow leopard that Duke was riding was so frightened that he almost wanted to flee.

The man tightened the reins and said in a happy tone, "Duke, you're finally here, I didn't wait in vain, it's good!"

As he spoke, the man took off his helmet, leaned over from the back of the liger and stared at Duke, and said, "Have you ever thought that you would meet me again and die at my hands?"

Duke had already recognized the other and said, "Sarah, is that you?

Thinking of the hope that all the horned eagle beasts at the outpost would be ridden away, and the expelled people would appear in the tribe's field of activity, and waiting for this necessary path, he also guessed the person behind the scenes: "Thor, they let you do it, right?"

The man was Sarah, who laughed happily and joked, "Guess what?"

The corners of Duke's mouth moved, and he looked into Sarah's eyes and asked seriously, "Do you have a brain?"

The smug look on Sarah's face froze, and she reached out and grabbed the handle of the axe.

Duke waved his hand and said, "Listen to me first, think about it, as an expelled, if you come to kill me and kill a druid, even if you succeed, what good will it do? Moreover, in order to clear up the relationship, the first person who will not let you go afterwards is probably the person who sent someone to kill me!"

He said such things, in addition to being true, but also to undermine the confidence and will of the other party - he would not think that a few words would make the other person back down, in fact, from the day Sara attacked him and was expelled from the tribe, he knew that the two sides had a feud, and since he was going to fight, he naturally wanted to use everything to weaken the opponent, he had read so many biographies, and he knew very well how important the will and confidence of the individual were in battle.

He looked around as he spoke, and found that Sara was the only one who "greeted" him, which showed that although Thor and the others did not hesitate to attack the clansmen for the quota of the Moonlight Glade, they did not dare to be too blatant, that is, Sara did not seem to be involved in them, so they dared to do so.

After hearing what he said, Sarah's face became ugly, and he smiled coldly, and said, "Do you think you are very smart? There are not many people passing by in this place in a day, and I can assure you that no one will come today and kill you, who knows that I killed you?"

Duke smiled faintly and said, "So, after winning the 'Druid Covenant', don't others know about it?"

Sara stared at Duke viciously, her face changing color, then she spat on the ground and sneered, "Count your fate, I won't kill you today! But--I can cripple you if I don't kill you!

Duke's expression turned cold, and he quietly moved a little under the shade of the tree next to him, and said, "You can try!"

Sara smirked and said, "Haha, you're scared!"

After saying that, he said smugly: "I beat you to a serious injury, and others will only think that I am here to seek revenge, personal grudges, even if I find me, how much punishment will there be? But you--I will have a good talk with you in the next few days!"

He patted the huge head of the liger, looked down at Duke and said, "I advise you not to think about running away, you can't run away from it!"

Duke stood in the shade of the tree and said calmly: "You guys are very thoughtful, but who gave you the confidence to kill me if you want to kill me, and cripple me if you want to cripple me?"

Sara sneered, took the axe out of her back, placed it in front of her, and said defiantly, "Really?"

Seeing the dazzling cold light reflected in the sunlight on the axe blade, Duke's eyes froze, this is obviously an upgraded weapon!

According to the reflection and the vein of the "mountain shape" above, it should strengthen the two attributes of "sharpness" and "aggravation", and it is rare to upgrade the weapon to attach two attributes, among which "sharpness" is one of the most practical attributes of the weapon, and "aggravation" will enhance the effect of "sharpness", this is a perfect combination, for this axe, it can increase the power of at least two percent!

Of course, it was a small cost to do this, either by hiring a clever blacksmith or by using more materials - in order to deal with him, the other party was really willing to pay for it!

Seeing Duke looking at the axe in his hand, Sarah's heart rose with a sense of joy, he waved the axe casually, and said maliciously: "I can do it lightly in a while, just cut off your arms and legs, in case I accidentally cut you in two, won't you have a chance to use the 'Druid Covenant' on me?" haha, hahahaha!"

Duke didn't take his arrogance to heart, but asked with a solemn expression, "Have you been promoted to the fourth level?"

Sarah's axe originally had more than a hundred catties, and the attribute of "weight" was added, which increased the power and weight at the same time, but he could easily swing it with one hand just now, and his strength was obviously greatly improved!

Sara poked her axe into the ground and said, "Yes, now I'm a fourth-level warrior!" And you're my first opponent after reaching level four, and my 'Fury Slash' will also drink blood on you for the first time, you should feel honored!"

"Neurotic!"

Duke took the Broken Bone Shovel out of his backpack, and a mysterious whisper sounded in his ears, and the man melted into the shadows.

This battle is regarded as a rehearsal before the battle against Thor, and some things are time to end!
