Completion is now the first priority。。。。。。

**********************************

Alcatraz is a very drab looking place, because everything except Schilling and Boggs next to me is either black or white, and at most there is an intermediate color, gray. It's like stepping into a black-and-white movie.

Boggs kindly told us that we were now at the southern teleportation of Alcatraz, and that we only needed to cross a small forest, climb a small hill, and finally cross a small lake, where we could find the little cabin where Ivan lived. After telling us this, Boggs left on her own, for the simple reason that she was not a tour guide, and that her mission was complete after taking us into Alcatraz. We're up to us.

What? You say my waist? Have you forgotten that Schilling is a paladin? If he can't heal such a small injury, then he can just delete the number. However, when Schilling unleashed the Holy Light on me, we were kindly reminded by Boggs not to cast divine spells on Alcatraz, where many ferocious creatures have a hunger and thirst for centuries for species that contain divine energy in their bodies.

I thank Boggs with great gratitude. In this way, it should not be a problem to let Schilling die thousands of times in this black and white world.

Schilling and I followed the direction of Boggs all the way north, and soon came to the edge of the so-called "little" forest. Countless tall trees with straight trunks reaching into the sky stood in front of the outside, spreading like a carpet to the end of our field of vision, and behind that end, I did not find the "small" hill that should theoretically exist.

"This labyrinth forest doesn't seem to be as small as it seems." Schilling smiled self-deprecatingly as he looked at the endless forest in front of him.

"Don't believe anything an NPC says, because they're all fools." I shrugged, then rubbed the ring on my finger to summon my magical mount, the White Tiger Meyu. No matter how big this forest is, I don't have to worry about it, there are means of transportation, even if I walk for ten days and ten nights, I am not tired.

Schilling summoned his fat-bodied elephant. I really can't figure it out, he's not an African native, what kind of elephant he rides, isn't the standard for a paladin a white purebred tall horse? Pirated Paladin.

Not long into the forest, we encountered a strong wind. The wind roared swiftly through the trees, and the sound sounded like the screams of a tortured woman, loud enough to drown out everything. Although the vegetation and the wind did not raise much dust, it ruffled my hair, and a few strands of hair broke into my nose and eyes, making me sneeze and cry.

"I think it's a little abnormal." Schilling pulled the reins in his hand and stopped his big ass elephant, "Generally speaking, after encountering a sudden wind in the forest or in the mountains, you will most likely encounter a fierce beast such as a tiger or a lion. ”

I managed to hold my hair in place with a bunch and pins, and when I turned around, I laughed at him and said, "Where do you see this heresy?" ”

"Water Margin." Schilling had a serious expression on his face.

I burst out laughing right away, and then he wouldn't say that we would be robbed by a bunch of green forest heroes. But before my laughter could be fully extinguished, I heard a few low roars from beasts that did not seem to be so pure. The smile instantly froze on my face, and at the same time, I cursed loudly in my heart: Schilling, you can broom the star crow's mouth.

"Looks like we're in trouble." Schilling put away the playful look on his face and reached to his waist, ready to draw his sword to meet the unknown enemy.

I quickly stopped him: "Schilling, don't make a move unless you have to." The purpose of our trip is not to fight monsters and upgrade to find treasures, we are here to find people. As long as you can reach your destination as soon as possible and find Ivan, you can hide if you can hide in trouble. ”

Schilling listened to my words, put the half-drawn long sword into the scabbard again, and nodded: "If there is really trouble that can't be shaken off, I will come to the queen of the palace." ”

Nonsense! There is no reason for any adventuring team to be cannon fodder. Of course, you'll be the ones to fill the beast's belly, but for Schilling's fearless and stupid chivalry, I still hypocritically replied "thank you".

"Turtledove, you can roughly judge the number and location of the enemy." Although the sword was not in his hand, Schilling remained on guard, and he asked me in a low voice.

I replied cleanly, "I don't know." ”

Schilling frowned slightly: "What about the distance of the enemy?" ”

"I don't know." This time, the answer was cleaner than the last one.

"You're a thief, why don't you know anything?" Schilling's brows furrowed.

Logically speaking, this kind of scout work of the adventure team to detect something is indeed a thief's specialty, but this black and white world seriously interferes with my senses, and I really don't know anything about it now. It's a bit of a shame to say, but how could I make a mistake as a captain. So, I was ashamed to say the reason I had prepared for a long time: "These pathfinders are usually done by pants or Remia in my adventure party, and I haven't been in this business for many years, so I'm sorry." You know, there's a lot more important things to do as a captain, and there's no time and energy to spend on these trivial things. ”

"Then may I ask, what do you usually do as a captain?" Schilling seemed to have a little doubt about my leadership philosophy.

My answer to this is already ripe: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just counting the money, sleeping, distributing the spoils, and adding handouts and innocuous jokes to boost the morale of the players." ”

"I see." Schilling's face was full of expressions of I've been completely defeated by you.

As we spoke, the enemy was already visible to us. It was a few black leopards larger than the elephant under Schilling's crotch, except for their size, there was basically no big difference from the shape of the jaguar we saw in the zoo, except that they had an extra triangular eye on their foreheads, and perhaps they did not have the habit of grinding their teeth, and the rows of snow-white sharp teeth actually grew to the outside of their mouths, as if they had two nine-toothed nail rakes in their mouths.

As soon as the white tiger under my ass saw these monsters, she seemed to feel a great threat, and she prostrated herself, her eyes glowed with a fierce light, and she began to growl in a low voice in her throat.

Schilling clamped his legs between the ass elephant under his crotch, and the elephant shook its nose into the sky, and there was a loud roar, and at the same time raised the legs of the two pillars in front of him and stomped on the ground heavily. There was a muffled "bang", and the ground under his feet trembled slightly, and the thick tree trunks around him shook in unison, dropping a lot of black or half-gray leaves. Surprisingly, the gale just now actually stopped.

I pulled a dagger from my waist and held it tightly in my hand, as I said, "Schilling, let's kill it." ”

Before Schilling could make any answer, it might be that the dagger reflected the snow that stimulated the nerves of those monsters. Suddenly, the panthers roared in unison, and swooped down on us like black lightning. I can't count ten or twenty, but I feel that all of a sudden, the sky is dark.

"Rush!" There was no room for any hesitation, Schilling roared, and as soon as he pulled the reins, he rushed towards the beast that was swooping down in front of him. Elephants are large in size, but they are not slow in movement, so they are perfect for opening paths. I led the white tiger to nimbly move left and right on the path that Schilling had opened.

Schilling's mount is the queen mount of the high-level BOSS, and it is indeed powerful enough, looking at those black panthers, they don't look like they are vegetarians, but I didn't expect the elephant to flick its trunk and beat the two that rushed to the front and flew out. The two leopards crashed headlong into the trunk of a nearby tree, leaving a noticeable dent. Then, as if nothing had happened, the leopards rolled twice on the ground, and then pounced on them again and again, and so on, with great strength and unstoppable energy.

In comparison, I don't seem so domineering. It's just blindly hiding. Fortunately, observing the attack routes of these leopards at the same time and calculating the retreat route was not too much of a problem for me. I only escape, I don't fight, and occasionally I can't avoid attacks and block them with a dagger, and I only use my strength to dismantle my strength, so in comparison, my consumption is much less than that of Schilling.

That's it, I'm the captain now, and this kind of brute behavior that consumes physical strength doesn't fit my identity at all.

I rushed over all the way without danger. I don't know if those panthers have a fixed territory or something else, but after we ran a little way out of the place where the incident occurred, they didn't follow. Schilling and I insisted on running a long way for safety before stopping for repairs.

Schilling and I are both fully armored and never wear, so naturally we don't have to worry about any damage. My mount, the White Tiger, also did not receive any damage due to the evasion-oriented strategy pursued just now, but the elephant that Schilling used to open the way seemed to have been attacked enough by the sharp claws of those black panthers, and Rao was a thick skin blessed by heavy armor, and it was also bloodstained and scarred.

"Can I still get around?" I asked with concern.

Schilling just frowned slightly, and then smiled heartily: "It's okay, just let it go back to recuperate." Its self-healing ability is also superb. ”

Schilling patted the elephant's buttocks, then wiped the ring and took it back. He turned his head to me, and suddenly he couldn't take his eyes off it.

I subconsciously touched the corner of my mouth...... He didn't eat the leftover rice grains and vegetable roots, why did he look so fascinated?

"Turtledove, your face ......" Schilling said with a little concern, mixed with some caution.

"My face ......" I reached out suspiciously and touched it, it was actually a little damp, and when I retracted my hand and looked down, it was actually a dazzling bright red.

After a moment of silence, my terrible wail suddenly burst into flames that shook Schilling's fragile eardrums: "I'm bleeding, oh my God, I'm broken!" ”
