Chapter 17: The Decisive Battle (Part I)

The giant sword swept, just stuck one of the big teeth of the giant bear, but then, the sharp claws also slapped down on Hawke, fortunately, at this time Lista had already rushed to Hawke's side, knocking Hawke away with rage, and the two rolled in the snow, just to avoid the attack of the giant bear's claws

At this time, a few people really saw what the giant bear that attacked them looked like, like a huge body the size of a house, covered with snow-white hair, like a hard steel needle under the reflection of the snow, the red beast pupils emitted red light, with a bloody mouth full of fangs, like a terrifying beast crawling out of hell, it was daunting, but for some reason, the other eye of the giant bear was engraved with a long and deep scar, making it lose this eye.

"Hawke, don't be impulsive! etc......"

Before Lista's words of advice were finished, Hawke had already risen from the ground and once again rushed towards the bear with his broadsword.

However, this time, his terrifying power also met his opponent, and the sword blade and bear claw collided together, which actually brought out a burst of sparks, but after a moment of stalemate, Hawke could not support it and was knocked back.

Seeing that the bear's claws attacked again, Lista and Fiona raised their swords together to block it, and seeing this opportunity, Hawke laughed loudly and was about to raise his sword and slash over.

I didn't think that before he could rush over, he was stopped by Karui and hugged by the waist, and he ran away.

"Hey! What are you doing? What are you doing with me, such a good opportunity, hurry up and help! ”

Karui didn't explain, just kept his head down and hurried.

Now Hawke quit and struggled in Karui's arms.

"If you want to be a deserter, you run by yourself, don't pull me! Let me go, the two of them are going to be in danger. ”

However, as he spoke, he could already see Lista and Fiona chasing after them. In the back position, the giant bear can be seen chasing them.

Karui felt the struggle of the person in his arms, but he couldn't control it with the strength of a giant, so he had no choice but to explain.

"Don't struggle, this is the battle plan that Fiona and I made just now, the two of them block the giant bear, and then let me drag you away, if you let it mess around, I don't know how much trouble it will cause."

Hearing this, Hawke stopped struggling, and like a deflated ball, he let Karui carry him and escape. The bear didn't chase him out of the cave until the four of them had run some distance.

"What are you afraid of? With the strength of a few of us, I feel that I am not afraid of that bear at all, and I can completely clean it up. ”

His words happened to fall on the ears of Lista and Fiona, who had just caught up, and Fiona said directly angrily: "Young man! Are you too confident in yourself, the strength of the giant bear is probably comparable to that of the uninjured Red Fury Chieftain, and you are sure that you can deal with it with the four of us? You don't have to be so impulsive, okay? ”

Fiona is not a person who is afraid of war, but she is definitely not a person who only knows how to go on a rampage, she is not worried about facing a powerful enemy, but she must have strategy and tactics to deal with such an enemy, and not just know how to charge recklessly.

Lista also spoke at this time: "Our main purpose this time is not to fight, if we alarm the spiders hiding in the valley because of the battle with the giant bear, then our mission will be a failure. If we can, we can avoid the war and complete the task as soon as possible. ”

Lista's words were not only an explanation, but also to give Hawke a step down, after all, for such a battle maniac, because of the enemy's strong retreat and the two reasons to endure humiliation for the sake of the mission, it must be the latter that is more acceptable.

Hawke: "So what do we do now?" That bear is at the mouth of the valley, are we going to find a way to get around? ”

Fiona: "The hunters who collected the ice crystals before haven't encountered this bear, so we can only go back and report this to Deyun and them first, and then wait for the notification of the next mission." ”

Obviously, such a result did not meet Hawke's expectations, after all, he had been bored for so long to have this opportunity, but it was over without any punches.

......

After returning to Kuhan and explaining the situation, Ai Dan and Deyun were silent, this was a result that they had not expected before, they thought that this matter would not be difficult, but they didn't expect that this was just the beginning, and they encountered such a big trouble.

Deyun: "Goblin ......?" There are also ...... with red eyes Bear? I don't have much clue about this bear. You can wait, I'll send someone to ask if anyone knows what is going on with this bear, and then ask if there are any other paths that can be passed, Lista's consideration is not unreasonable, at this time it is still mainly based on investigation, if you can not fight, it is better not to have a fight and startle the snake. ”

When several people were discussing, Kaiyala on the side suddenly said: "By the way, about the bear, maybe you can ask Kosty, that bear heard that it is related to Kosty, although it is also possible." Moreover, she has been in and out of the ice valley all year round, and is familiar with the terrain in the valley, and may be able to find a way to get around the bear. ”

Hearing this, Deyun was also stunned, and then said: "Yes, I seem to have heard about this before, but I didn't connect the two things for a while, so let's do it, I immediately arranged for someone to ask." ”

Fiona: "Since we have a clue, let's go over and ask for it ourselves, if there is a way to get around, let's go directly, don't be so troublesome, and wait for someone to ask back." ”

Lista: "yes, it's good to save some time and get things done quickly." This is our task anyway, and waiting is also waiting, so let's just ask. ”

Hawke, who was still sulking on the side, turned around and walked towards the door directly.

"When you're done discussing, I don't know how long it's been, let's go. Harm! ”

The group soon arrived at Kuhan's Adventurers' Guild and saw Kosti who was studying a certain beast tooth with a sad face.

Fiona: "Kosty, do you have time?" We have a question for you. ”

Kosty glanced up and saw that it was Fiona, so he squeezed out a smile and replied, "It turns out that there are several heroes, you can ask any questions, I don't have anything to do now." ”

Fiona: "Kosti, I heard you encountered a giant bear in the Ice Valley before, right?" Is that giant bear the size of a house, with red eyes and snow-white hair? ”

As soon as he heard Fiona's description, Costy, who was still a little depressed just now, immediately came to his senses, and his face was a little stunned, and hurriedly said, "Red-eyed bear? Did you run into that guy? That guy is the king who rules the Glacial Valley, known in the adventurous world as the 'Tyrant of Extreme Frost', and my rival. The competitor is not a human, but a bear...... Strange, right? ”

Several people nodded in tacit agreement, and Kosti immediately showed a clear expression, and then said, "Did you fight each other?" To be honest, that guy is really good, in fact, I've only seen it twice so far. The first time I encountered it, I was a novice hunter and didn't have the courage to fight at all, so I fled as soon as I could; The second time I encountered it, it was on my way, I had no choice but to fight with it, but my weapon was not good, it was shattered, and I could only withdraw it temporarily. ”

As he spoke, Kosti pointed to the giant sword that was hanging on the wall behind him and only had the hilt left, and said in amazement: "The strength of that bear is really strong, my sword is already very strong, I didn't expect it to be able to hold a few claws, I have been looking for a better and stronger weapon recently, when I find it, I must go back and return to it, the next time it will be broken, it will be its fangs and claws!" ”

The four of them looked at the broken sword in Kosti's hand, and their inner cognition of the power of the giant bear went to another level, if the four of them didn't leave directly that day, I'm afraid they really wouldn't be the opponent of the bear.

After talking a lot in fragments, Kosti came back to his senses, looked at the four of them and asked, "By the way, what do you want me to ask?" You don't just want to hear my story with the giant bear, right? ”

Fiona: "Actually, we came here because we recently received a mission to go to the ice valley to investigate, but the giant bear is now entrenched in the valley and must pass through the valley, and it is not easy to solve the giant bear, so we came to ask you if there is a way to bypass the bear and enter the valley." ”

Kosti: "There is a way to get around that bear, after all, the Frost Tyrant only operates in his own realm, rarely goes out of his own realm, there are two paths, one needs to cross the ice cliff on the west side, and the other is to bypass the path on the cliff wall on the south side of the ice valley. Well, if you look at the map, although the ice cliff on the west side is relatively flat, it is full of ice cubes, and it may be found by bears; As for the cliff on the south side, although it will not be detected by bears, the road is rough and can be attacked by other ice valley creatures, which is also very dangerous. ”

Kosti: "It's tough, but to avoid that guy, it's best to go through the cliff on the south side. By the way, if you get any information, just report it to your mercenary group leader or Kingdom Knight. ”

......

With Kosty's suggestion, a few people did not delay, and set off directly to the cliff on the south side of the ice valley, and the four of them acted vigorously, this time, they did not encounter the giant bear again; Moreover, in order to prevent Hawke from repeating the situation of the previous reckless battle, after the unanimous consent of the other three, let Karui follow him, and once he was found to have strange behavior, Karui directly pulled him back into the team, completely eliminating the situation where he explored the battle alone.

After entering the huge cavern of the ice valley, the four of them followed the map to the path of the cliff on the south side, because there were very few people walking, so the path was almost covered with ice and snow, and the passage became narrower and narrower the further they went. At each fork in the road, there were multiple holes at the end, and if it weren't for the map given by Costil, they might not have even known where to go next.

The cold wind whistled from nowhere, and it seemed that only the breathing of a few people and the whistling wind could be heard in the entire cave, but as he walked, Karui frowned slightly.

Karui: "I think I heard something strange, did you hear that?" ”

Hawke smiled hideously: "Hehe, I've heard it a long time ago, aren't these little guys hiding in the shadows going to show up yet?" ”
