readx; The cold wind blows from the north, and the snow falls one after another, and it is already a real winter in the Winter Forest, not far from the city of Constantine, in such weather, even hunters who occasionally venture into the forest to make a living do not dare to enter this forest full of death dangers. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoBecause in winter, this forest will really awaken, like a beast that has slept enough to open its eyes and start its hunt.

"It's really lucky today, why did I meet that winter hugging giant bear again, this time the task is not easy to complete. Atop a huge Stockholm white oak, Foxy opened his eyes. There was only a gray color between heaven and earth, and it was impossible to tell whether it was morning or afternoon, but this was not the most important thing to Furcy, as long as it was not night, he dared to promise that he would not die in this forest.

It's been a full month and a half since Foxy first came to this cold forest, and every time since the first time he was almost half-dead by Galileo back to Constantine, he has been at least conscious in the clearing with the teleportation circle. Then the task assigned to him by Galileo was also more and more difficult every time, and this time he was directly asked to collect the winter flowers in the snow circle.

"I don't know where that big guy went. Furcy rubbed his hands together, keeping them as sensitive and sensible as they should be. Even after encountering danger many times, Furcy still has no regrets about choosing this forest. In fact, in the fight with wolves, snakes and even bears, Furcy learned a lot of useful skills, and he also learned to integrate them. Compared to his previous studies in Constantine, Fursey clearly felt his growth, at least his steps became more agile and explosive than before, and now he can easily sit on the big tree is a good proof of this. As for his strength, due to Galileo's strict teachings, Foxy had only recently advanced from a second-order knight to a third-order knight.

"It's too late to leave, there's still a lot of way to get to the snow circle. Francie took a closer look around, and after making sure that there was no Winter Hugging Bear, he quietly slid down the oak tree, then made a mark on the tree, and quickly left towards the north.

The Winterhugging Giant Bear, a first-order magical beast that lives near the snow ring, unlike all of its close relatives, hibernates in the summer but wakes up in the winter to begin its hunting journey. Due to the presence of this creature, the danger level of the Winter Forest in winter has skyrocketed to the level of the ancient Byzantine Colosseum, because this giant bear is a monster in the first-order demonic beasts and the king of the second-order demonic beasts. Like all first-order magical beasts, it can't do magic, but its skin is unusually tough and thick, and it can prevent almost all small weapons from dealing fatal damage to it. It also has an incredibly fast sprint, and only wolves and leopards can escape its hunting pursuits. In terms of attack, the Winterhug Bear also has exceptionally sharp teeth and claws, allowing it to effortlessly disembowel you, even when wearing soft armor. The last thing that hasn't been confirmed and that no one wants to confirm is that the Winterhugging Giant Bear seems to possess a resistant skin that makes it easily immune to Tier 3 and lower Binding Techniques and most of the Tier 1 magic. Such a huge killing machine is not something that everyone wants to encounter, at least ordinary people can't fight against it, and the most dangerous thing in the winter forest is probably the harsh cold, but the deadliest thing must be the winter bear.

"Blood Curse? The Bath of Blood, the first few times thanks to its effect. As he sped through the dense woods, Furcy remembered the previous few dangerous scenes. The first time Furcy almost died was when he came to the Winter Forest for the second time. On his way back, he was directly attacked by the silver snake hidden on the branch with its fangs, and he almost stopped breathing on the spot. It was at that time that the blood curse on his left hand awakened and exerted its effect for the first time. Felsey felt the blood in his body as if it had been inflicted on him that night, producing a boiling and burning sensation, which was the snake venom that made the blood bath purify his blood. Since then, Furcy has developed immunity to the snake venom of the Broken Ring Serpent, which has also reduced his troubles for operating in the Winter Forest. Later, when attacked by wolves, snow leopards, and even against a winter bear, the Blood Bath worked extremely well.

"It's time to pick up the pace. Francie glanced at the grayer sky, and now the time left for him to act was even more precious, the winter nights in the north always came early, and that was when all danger came.

When the black night completely covered the land, the already quiet Winter Forest became silent. Despite the starry sky overhead, Francie did not let his guard down, and he crouched on the branch of a winter birch tree, carefully observing the wind and grass around him. The Winter Forest at night is a hundred times more dangerous than during the day, and this is a truth that he has practiced with his life. A foot knight can reach less than half of a ranger or a specialized bounty hunter in the forest, so after his first experience, in addition to bringing a standard broadsword, Foxey also specially asked Hazen to learn a few simple daggers for self-defense. At the same time, Fercy also had several loops of rope wrapped around his waist, which was also necessary for adventures in the forest. As he was alone, Foxy did not dare to make a fire in the forest at night to roast meat, and the last time he did so, he directly attracted a small pack of wolves, so he usually did not come down from the tree to find something to eat until it was almost dawn.

"Looking at the distribution of trees in the surrounding forest, it is not far from the real periphery of the snow circle. Although the "Continental Biology Atlas" is not easy to copy, it is indeed very useful, and if you copy it a few times this time, it will really be vomited. Francie didn't feel anything strange around him, so he tried to find a comfortable position to lean against the tree behind him. Although he returned to the location of the magic array every time, there were several times when in order to protect his life, Foxy could only give up the tasks arranged by Galileo, so after returning to Constantine, he could only obediently copy the "Atlas of Continental Creatures".

"In half a month, the winter hunt will be held, and all the forces in Constantine will be dispatched, and the Inquisition will also participate in this winter hunt as a covert overseer. This time I will really enter the snow circle, which is different from my current petty fight, and that is the moment of real danger. Felsey struggled to raise his head and saw the vast starry sky overhead through the gaps in the branches and leaves of the birch trees. The starry sky is so mysterious, and the beauty is dizzying. Whenever he saw such a starry sky, Furcy would always think of his previous life, when he and his sister were carefree teenagers, when they could still see the beautiful starry sky on the mountain, and at that time they would always look forward to each other's future under such a starry sky.

It's just that in the future, who can guess that he became the stubborn young man of the family, but his sister provoked the pillar of the family, and it was his fault that buried the lives of two people. Francie often thought back to how good it would have been if he had repented before the crash, so that he had sheltered his sister under his wing. In this life, he has traveled to the ends of the earth, stepping through the Vatican to fulfill his long-cherished wish.

"The so-called 'martial arts' way is to constantly challenge one's own limits and constantly face dangers. "Furcy still clearly remembers what was said in the book "The Confession of the Swordsman Camus", the experiences of the strong are different, but the perception of how to become strong has something in common, and Furcy is now on such a path.

Foxy retracted his head, he felt like his neck was about to run out of sensation after being so distracted that he felt like he was losing consciousness. Although one's life is boring, it gives Furcy a lot of time to think, giving him time to digest the various knowledge he has learned these days. This may be the reason why many magicians and ascetics usually live and practice alone, they need a kind of understanding that comes from the heart, and a person's thinking can help them to get rid of the noisy outside voices. And just as Foxy was about to close his eyes and rest for a moment, his ears picked up the sound that broke the silence of the forest, a faint sound, as if something was gently stepping on a branch.

"Grey-spotted snow leopard. The alert Foxie sensed almost instantly what was making such a sound, and the Grey Spotted Snow Leopard was also the apex predator of this forest, a first-order magical beast second only to the Winter Bear and the Night Wolf. Falsey is already very familiar with this beast, and the monster he deals with the most in this forest is the gray snow leopard, this beast likes to launch surprise attacks from the trees, and when it appears in front of you, you have little time to escape.

Francie carefully drew his dagger, in the face of such a nimble beast, it can only use the environment to restrict its movements, and it is definitely better to stay in a tree than on the ground. Moreover, Falsey was not sure if the gray-spotted snow leopard had spotted him, and it would definitely be unwise to rush out like this.

Minutes and seconds passed, but Foxy never heard any more noise, as if it had just been his auditory hallucination. But even so, Furcy took a defensive stance, carefully surveying the trees around him. The snow leopard has a pair of eyes that glow white at night, and this is the only chance that Furcy will be able to spot it. But just as Foxy looked around nervously, the birch tree he was in suddenly shook and almost toppled down. Falsie suddenly looked at his feet, and at some point, a winter-hugging bear had come under the tree, and it was the same winter-hugging bear that Felsey had met this morning.

"Something is going on, when is this big guy coming?!" Furcy tried his best to steady himself and keep himself as close to the birch tree as he could. Attracted by the grey-spotted snow leopard, Foxey did not notice the arrival of the winter-hugging bear. In fact, the gray fur of the Winter Hugging Giant Bear can blend well with the white forest, and with the help of the heavy snow piled up, the Winter Hugging Giant Bear barely makes any sound when walking, and the combination of various reasons has caused Fursey to fall into such a deadly situation as he is now.

"This tree will definitely not be able to withstand a few beats from the winter bear, and it must be found immediately. Foxy drew his broadsword, and when he faced the Winter Bear, he was killing himself with the dagger, which did not do as much damage as the bear itself tickled with its claws.

"Bang!" the bear's claws struck the birch tree again, and this time the hard blow shook the remaining snow from the tree, and some of it landed right on the bear's face, temporarily blocking the bear's view.

"Chance!" Elsey knew that he could not wait any longer, as long as the bear swung down with another claw, the tree would fall, and then he really had no way back, so instead of sitting still, it was better to seize this short-term opportunity and fight hard.

In an instant, Falsey jumped down from the trunk of the tree, which was already a little tilted, and the tip of the standard broadsword in his hand was aimed at the back of the Winter Bear, and he did not hesitate to plunge it straight down. The timing of this blow was perfect, just in the moment when the Winter Bear's vision was damaged, and its back was completely unguarded in front of Falsy's eyes, and with such a force, Foxy believed that he could inflict heavy damage on the Winter Bear. However, things often come out of the way. In the darkness of the night, another gray-white shadow flashed, striking Furcy his back in a swoop-like manner. Furcy instantly felt as if his vertebrae had been directly hit by a heavy hammer, and the whole person was displaced, but at this moment of injury, Furcy's thigh stomped heavily on the body of the thing that attacked him when he rode his back and had the last bit of consciousness.

A burst step, one of the five basic skills that Furcy learned at the beginning, can be used to instantly increase his speed. But to hurt the enemy in such a way, I'm afraid Furcy was the first to do so. Then with the impact of the blast, Fox drew a parabola in the low air, and then landed heavily on the snow more than ten meters away from the birch tree just now. For a moment, Furcy felt like he was about to faint, but he forcibly bit his tongue, and a smell of blood spread in his mouth, and his eyes finally did not close again.

The Grey-spotted Snow Leopard and the Winter-Hugging Giant Bear, Furcy didn't expect that these two first-order demonic beasts, which were almost competitors on weekdays, would actually join forces today in order to eliminate him. The sound he heard just now was not a hallucination, but a real gray-spotted snow leopard lurking in the trees, waiting to strike a fatal blow at him. If the voice just now was to deliberately attract his attention and let the Winter Bear come under the tree where he was lurking, then the wisdom of these two magical beasts was really impressive. Thinking of this, Foxy felt that he might have to die in such a place today, if even the Winter Hugging Giant Bear and the Grey Snow Leopard could join forces, then why not have one more Night Wolf. It's just that as soon as Foxie thought of this, a "hissing" sound rang in his ears from far and near.

"It's the Silver Serpent. Hearing this, Furcy breathed a sigh of relief, although the Broken Ring Silver Serpent was terrifying, it was not a mortal threat to him. The Winterhugging Giant Bear in front of him was the only enemy who could stop him from living, and he was convinced that the blow just now had at least broken the spine of the Grey-spotted Snow Leopard like him, so he was left with the terrifying Winterhugging Giant Bear.

"I don't want to die yet, at least not yet. Furcy struggled to hold the broadsword scattered beside him, the runes of the Blood Bath in his left hand were constantly flickering, and in this short period of time, Furcy felt that his breathing was much easier, at least he would not be discovered by the Winter Hugging Giant Bear because of his heavy breathing, and he would not be unable to breathe and suffocate to death.

"Roar-" The Winterhugging Bear, apparently noticing that Furcy was no longer in the tree or by its side, slammed its front paws against the ground in a sign of its anger. Its fur was still stained with blood spurting from Furcy's mouth when he was first hit, and Foxy was sure that the bear would be the first to determine his position as soon as he calmed down a little. But thankfully, God didn't make this bear a perfect existence when he created it, and the winter bear in the night is almost blind.

"The last chance must be seized. Furcy had already felt the threat of death coming to his face, and he was much calmer at such moments. Death suddenly ceased to be a terrible term, but was like his friend. It was as if he heard someone in the distant sky talking: "The way of a knight, born fearless, died without fear, lived to death......"

And Furcy felt that he was now struggling on the road to death.
