Two hours later, the two galloped back to the southern plains.

Li Ang stood in the barren and vast grassland, looking at the endless mountains, and took a deep breath, "I'm finally back." ”

Angus looked at him and said, "Are you going to go to the Lordaeron Empire?" ”

"Yes."

Leon nodded, "This place is very close to the royal city of Lordaeron, so you might be able to meet other adventurers." ”

"But ......"

Angus hesitated for a moment and admonished, "I know you are in dire need of coins and equipment, but you must know that in the North, the adventurer's greatest enemy is monsters, not humans, and the so-called human army is useless at all.

Once you step into the royal city, you will be attacked and killed, and may even trigger the siege and suppression of the royal city guards.

Moreover, there are many ferocious monsters entrenched around the royal city, including legendary monsters, one legendary monster is enough to kill the entire royal city, and the two of us can't defeat a legendary monster together. ”

"Don't worry, Angus, since I have decided to participate in the adventurer mission, I have some certainty to ensure my safety."

Li Ang clapped his palms, "Besides, as long as we don't go south and go north, the chance of encountering a crisis will be reduced a lot." ”

"Okay."

Angus sighed, "Although I think you are very stupid to do this, since you have decided, then I will follow you." ”

The two continued on their way, through vast grasslands and hills.

The sky is getting darker and the sun is setting over the peaks.

The grassland at night was full of unknown dangers, and Leon did not dare to stop, and led Angus to the southeast.

It was calm along the way.

It wasn't until midnight that the two finally arrived at the border line of the southern plains.

At the edge there is a river about 100 meters wide and a kilometer long, the water is turquoise and clear, shimmering, and occasionally fish jump out of the water.

"That's it."

Angus raised his arm and pointed to the river, "Some time ago, I heard that a group of barbarians near the river lurked from the bottom of the river into the grassland to hunt, trying to catch giant whales at night.

As a result, the patrol beast broke through the lair, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle, with heavy casualties. The whale eventually escaped. ”

Leon nodded, "Is there a problem with this river?" ”

"Of course there is a problem!"

Angus quickly explained, "It is said that this river is inhabited by a powerful alien fish, a monster called the Dragon Tortoise.

This monster is large, powerful, highly defensive, and cruel, devouring flesh and blood for life.

If there is no accident, there should be a spatial channel under the riverbed that connects a tributary or branch of a certain river basin......"

"Wait."

Leon interrupted, "What do you say this river is called?" ”

"Dragon Turtle River."

Angus was surprised: "Is there something wrong with this?" ”

"I didn't ...... Nothing ......."

Leon shook his head, staring at the river in front of him.

Angus was right.

This river is indeed called the "Dragon Turtle River", also known as the "Source of the Sacred Spring".

Located at the end of the Southern Plains, the source of the Holy Spring is located in the core area of the Southern Plains, and is the mother river of the entire southern grassland, giving birth to countless grass and tree spirits, giving birth to all kinds of animals and plants, and at the same time giving birth to countless rare birds and beasts.

The dragon turtle is the overlord of the river, it is not only huge in size, amazing in strength, and super strong in defense, but also has a fiery temper and is extremely bloodthirsty.

It is said that a professional once tried to break into the territory of the dragon turtle, but was whipped into a patty by the tail of the dragon turtle, and the bones were gone.

Even professionals at this stage are reluctant to provoke dragon turtles.

"I remember I just said that I was here to hunt for treasure."

Li Ang said in a deep voice: "If there is a treasure, of course I hope that the more the better, and the dragon turtle happens to be a treasure of great value. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and looked at Angus: "What about you, Angus, what do you think?" ”

Angus frowned and said, "We don't have conclusive intelligence right now that there is treasure in this Dragon Turtle River. ”

"So what?"

Leon smiled faintly, "If there is no treasure in this river, even if we run away in vain tonight, we can still continue to search for the next river tomorrow."

I'd rather take a risk than run for nothing.

Besides, both of us are entering the royal city for the first time, and the environment inside is completely unfamiliar, what if we get lost?

If you are in danger, it is safer to have someone familiar with the royal city to accompany you. ”

"Okay......"

Angus shrugged helplessly, "Say whatever you want, anyway, I have only one goal - to help you complete the task and get the reward." ”

"Hmm."

Li Ang bowed his head slightly, turned around, jumped, and stepped steadily on the rocks on the riverbank, looking at the river in the distance.

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the bright moonlight is sprinkled down, reflecting in the blue river, exuding a dreamy silver glow.

Li Ang squinted his eyes and reached out to touch the lake, feeling the soft and delicate texture.

Angus walked up to Leon and asked, "Are you sure you've found the treasure?" ”

"Eight or nine is not far from ten."

Li Ang gently stroked the lake, and the corners of his mouth outlined a mysterious smile, "The dragon turtle is a monster that likes to eat meat, I guess it is hungry, and it will definitely come to drink water......"

Before the words fell, the river in the distance suddenly churned and surged, setting off ripples.

Boom~

A huge black shadow rushed out of the water, and pounced on Li Ang and the two with teeth and claws.

It is a crocodile-like monster more than five or six meters long, with a head covered with barbs, a metallic back armor, covered in scales, and a bent and sharp dorsal fin like a blade.

It's a dragon tortoise!

It bit down on Leon's neck with its bloody mouth, and Leon retreated slightly, bent his right leg at the knee, and kicked it in the belly of the dragon turtle.

Bang!

The great force knocks the dragon turtle back.

The dragon turtle's skin was thick and thick, and Leon's attack only made it slightly painful, and it roared, swinging its limbs, and quickly swam to the shore.

Sou!

Angus's wrist shook, and the dagger instantly turned into a black mang, piercing the dragon turtle's left eye, and blood spurted out, staining its retina red.

Hiss~

The dragon turtle suffered pain, looked up to the sky and wailed, and frantically shook its head and tail, trying to break free from the dagger shackles.

However, under the influence of the effect of the [Dagger of Evil Thoughts], the dragon turtle was slow and slow, and it couldn't break free at all.

Poof!

Angus grasped the flaw, and the short dagger was plunged into the tortoise's abdomen along its spine, stirring vigorously a few times before pulling out the dagger.

Blood splattered out.

"Ah......h

The tortoise's wail came to an abrupt end, and its massive torso collapsed to the ground, convulsing for a moment before losing its breath and turning into a cold corpse.

"This dragon turtle's blood volume and tenacity are quite high, it is estimated that it needs at least level 10 skill scrolls to kill it in seconds, in other words, at least level 10."

Leon glanced at the dragon turtle lying on the ground and muttered, "In other words...... If we're lucky, there's a good chance we'll pick up an S-class summoned beast crystal nucleus, and maybe even an epic-level summoned beast ......"
