"The monsters in the forest, are they so aggressive?" After smashing a large rat with red eyes in two, Emma gasped for breath and felt a visceral exhaustion.

"No, it's not right." Robben was also trying to steady his breathing. Since the sudden appearance of that wave of demon wolves, he and Emma's camp has attracted a steady stream of monsters to attack.

Robben was pretty sure it was the strange smell just now, and he knew very well that these monsters would only be the beginning.

He whispered his guess to Emma, and the girl frowned, and looking at the corpses all over the ground, she decided to give the man behind the scenes a little color.

In her storage necklace, there are just a few treasures that are suitable for the current situation.

The number of monsters that were attracted gradually decreased, and finally disappeared completely, but Robben and Emma still did not let their guard down, because the roars and screams of monsters were always heard in the forest not far away.

Apparently, the restless monsters had attracted a powerful predator.

Robben soon saw the true face of the monster in the forest, a large lizard a little longer than the four-wheeled carriages common in sister cities, its skin was grayish white as granite, and its back and tail were covered with barbs. When it came out of the woods unhurriedly, it was still chewing something in its mouth, and Robben thought it was the stump of a demon wolf.

[Dragonborn (LV.40): A monster with a small amount of dragon blood, inheriting some of the dragon's abilities]

Robben's expression was solemn, if this dragonborn inherited the powerful magic resistance of the fire dragons, then Emma would be of little use in the next battle.

The broodling, who was clever enough to use the monsters he was attracted to drain Robben and Emma's physical strength, fished in troubled waters and ate a lot of beasts that seemed quite palatable to him.

It slowly crawled to about ten meters away from Robben, and then the muscles on its limbs bulged all at once, and then it jumped towards Robben violently, bursting out with a vigor that did not match its body.

However, although its speed is fast, Robben is not a clumsy stupid big man, and his agility of up to 38 points allows him to not fall behind in the battle with the Dragonborn, he not only dodged the Dragonborn's pounce, but even slashed it with a backhand.

The knife sliced through the Dragonborn's skin, making a cut, but not a drop of blood seeped out - Robben's stab didn't even break through the defense.

Emma's attack also landed on the Dragonborn, and her fireball spell was mediocre, leaving only a few scorched marks on the surface of its skin - a good sign, indicating that the creature was only rough and thick, not magical immunity.

Robben made up his mind: this dragonborn has neither inherited the fire dragon's fire control ability, nor has he inherited the skin that is immune to most spells, so it's no wonder that he can only live in this kind of place and bully those low-level demonic beasts.

"Stabb it with something sharp!" Robben told Emma to change her mind and stop worrying about her fireball technique.

"Good!" Emma conjures up three icicles and smashes them on the Dragonborn.

The Dragonborn let out a roar of pain.

Emma's icicle broke through the defenses of its epidermis and enraged it. Its movements became more and more violent, and the tail behind it also swung vigorously like a whip, making a burst of breaking sounds, and smashed into the ground, suddenly becoming a big pit.

Robben struggled with the Dragonborn like this, while Emma stood in the distance and output remotely, ice picks, wind blades, and stone spikes smashed on the Dragonborn as if they didn't want money, and from time to time they were followed by one or two lightning strikes and vines entangled.

Eventually, the brute force-only Dragonborn was ground to death by the combination of mage and melee.

Emma and Robben were completely exhausted and unable to fight after defeating the dragonborn, and the two of them were like a crumbling house that would collapse with just a single kick.

"Here, drink some recovery potion." Robben took out the potion he had bought earlier and gave a bottle to Emma to restore her used mana.

"Wonderful fight, but unfortunately it ends here." As soon as the potion was inhaled, a gloomy voice reached Robben's ears.

Robben turned his head to see that at some point, five people dressed as mercenaries were already standing in front of them, and they were none other than Hadrian and his henchmen.

"Give up the resistance, the recovery potion you drink will take ten minutes to take effect, and that's enough time for us to get you both." The corners of Hadrian's mouth sketched a hideous smile, as a professional "hunter", he naturally knew the effective time of those physical recovery potions on the market. In his opinion, the two immature adventurers in front of him were already fish on the chopping board.

Emma glanced at Hadrian with a fool's look, then quickly took out a delicate small crystal bottle from the necklace, uncorked it with lightning speed, and drank the liquid inside.

After drinking the potion, her face visibly turned rosy, and the depleted magic in her body was immediately filled.

"Ten minutes to recover? But why does it only take a few seconds for my potion to fully recover? And you can buy a bottle for only thirty golden dragons, which is good and cheap~" Emma looked at Hadrian and smiled happily.

It does take a while for the recovery potions on the market to take effect, but the potions that Emma drinks are not those big road goods on the market, but the exclusive secret recipes taught by the school, which belong to the priceless treasures in the market.

Robben: ?

Miss, do you have any misunderstanding about good quality and low price?

Hadrian:......

His face turned ugly: he had never heard of the potions Emma was drinking, and things seemed to be getting a little tricky. But until this moment, Hadrian remains optimistic as he thinks he can easily defeat the two together even if Emma returns to his prime.

Hadrian took an arrow step and burst in front of Robben, and a dagger appeared in his hand and stabbed Robben's neck. He was so fast that Robben could barely react.

At this moment, a translucent shield appeared in front of Robben, blocking the attack for him, and the shield flickered for a while, but it still maintained its existence. This also allowed Robben to gain the capital to deal with Hadrian.

After adding a shield to Robben, Emma's wand pointed to the ground, and a halo exuding a trace of white gas appeared directly from Robben's feet, and the aura quickly expanded outward after it appeared, enveloping Hadrian and the few followers who rushed up.

"Ice Ring Spell!" Hadrian recognized the spell cast by Emma, which was very costly, but the effect was amazing: anyone who hit it was greatly slowed. This had a great impact on an assassin like him, who was known for his speed, and he was unable to deal with Robben with the shield protection in the first place, and the battle was at a stalemate. As for his four younger brothers, they were directly frozen on the ground, their whole bodies stiffened, unable to take a single step, and they completely lost the possibility of interfering in the battle.

Hadrian's mindset shifted: he was shaken by successive defeats, and he decided to turn the tide of battle with a treasure at the bottom of the box. But he didn't expect Emma to make the same choice as him.

Seeing that the battle was stalemate, Emma took out a small scroll from her necklace, and the tip of her wand touched the scroll lightly, and the scroll quickly ignited and burned to ashes.

Seeing Emma's movements, Hadrian secretly screamed that something was wrong, and he also took out a scroll and tore it open quickly.

After the scroll was destroyed, the spell of the seal inside was also released-

Mind control!

Faint!

Hadrian only heard a buzzing sound in his head, and the next second only a white mist was left in front of him. This change made his figure stagnate, and in the battle, it was a fatal flaw, Robben did not waste Emma's scroll, he seized the opportunity to stab the knife in his hand into Hadrian's chest.

At the same time, Hadrian's stun spell also hit Emma, who rolled her eyes and fainted.
