"Damn! I didn't expect this guy to be so powerful!" Leonard and the others found that they were indeed too big, and they thought that Xiaoxue's so-called "stronger than it" was only a level 6 peak at most. As long as you gather the strength of the whole team, you will definitely be able to fight. Now, with the size of the Earth Demon Bear, that momentum, and every devastating blow, a fact is being preached all the time - Lao Tzu is a level 7 Demon Beast, and he is also a level 7 Earth Demon Beast. Among the four elements, earth symbolizes the foundation, heaviness, and calmness. Mages who major in the earth system tend to be good at defense, and the same is true for Warcraft. The body of the Level 7 Earth Demon Bear is rich in earth elements, and his fur is perfectly fused with the earth element, making it difficult for ordinary weapons to damage it. Both Leonard and Ales suffered a loss from their weapons, and they used the normal weapons that the Academy had rationed. Silva's weapons are better, but there is still a gap between his strength and Rea's, only the wound left by Xiaoxue on the demon bear before the attack is slightly effective, but it is still not enough to hit the demon bear.

With the defensive power of this Earth Demon Bear, even if he stood still and let Leonard and them attack at will, he might not be able to achieve anything for a while. Not to mention its perverted attack power, even if it is a level 6 warrior, if you eat it head-on, you will be half-crippled if you don't die.

At this moment, Zero suddenly thought of the "Divine Beast" Xiaobai. Perhaps, like the previous wolf crisis, Xiaobai's appearance can once again turn the enemy into a jade silk.

[Ai Xue, call Xiaobai out!]

[Yes, how did I forget!] Ai Xue suddenly woke up and immediately activated the summoning magic.

[Come out, Xiaobai!] The saliva beast was summoned by Ai Xue again, and with its melancholy eyes, it looked at the Earth Demon Bear that was moving in this direction.

"@%&......&#¥@#¥%*#¥*);"(......%&~~"The saliva beast tries to convey its thoughts to the giant bear, but well,Judging from its subsequent actions,It seems to have failed......

Xiaobai turned around and ran away......

"Hey, Xiaobai, where are you going! Don't run!" Zero shouted loudly, but Xiaobai still didn't stop.

Seeing this, Ai Xue lifted the summoning spell and brought Xiaobai into the summoning space.

"It seems that the rumors are not credible, and not all demonic beasts are willing to get close to saliva beasts. Seeing that her hopes were dashed, Lelia said as she climbed onto the velociraptor back.

"Come up!" Lelia held out her hand to Ai Xue, motioning for Ai Xue and Zero to sit on the back of the velociraptor together.

"Hold on, we're going to start running away. The velociraptor with the three men began to flee in the direction they came.

"What should I do?" shouted Karl, who was following behind.

"There's no way, my velociraptor can only camel 3 people at most, you can withdraw with the next ones. Lelia didn't look back, leaving Carl where he was.

"Damn. ”

Ahlers, who was in the middle of the battle, noticed Lelia's movements and began to retreat.

"Let's retreat too. Ahlers motioned to Leonard and Silva.

"Well, good. "It's not a way to continue fighting, the physical strength of monsters is often stronger than that of humans, and the current situation is already Leonard and they are at a disadvantage, and if they continue to stalemate, everyone has to stay and feed the bears.

So Leonard and the others also began to gallop in the direction where the girls had fled.

The Earth Demon Bear, on the other hand, ran after it relentlessly, and in its opinion, violating its own territory, slaughtering its own people, and leaving indelible scars on its beautiful fur, these human beings were simply unforgivable! The angry giant bear certainly would not let go of these pesky intruders, and was eager to skin and cramp this group.

The bear scurried forward, and the trees that stood in the way were uprooted like reeds that had been pulled apart by humans. Its roar resounded through the forest, as if to rebuke the little ones in front of it who wanted to slip away if they couldn't beat it......

2.

"Damn, this thing is running so fast!" Zero couldn't help but exclaim. She turned to look, and could still see the giant bear chasing after her. At first, her sigh was still aimed at the speed of the velociraptor and the feeling of galloping, which was probably no less than riding the six-eyed demon god and speeding down the downhill road of Mt. Akina. It's just that I didn't expect that the seemingly bulky giant bear could run at the same speed, which was seriously inconsistent with its size.

Lelia sat at the front and was in charge of "taking the helm", and Ai Xue came up later, so she was squeezed in the middle and Zero in the back. Therefore, along the way, Zero is observing the enemy's situation. Fortunately, the speed of the velociraptors still has a slight advantage, and the distance between them and the Earth Demon Bear is constantly widening. Moreover, with Leonard and the four of them slowing down the movement speed of the demon bear through roundabout tactics, the escape plan is still feasible for now.

Suddenly, Zero's head made close contact with Ai Xue's back, and the huge "braking force" almost threw Zero off the back of the velociraptor .

"What's going on?!" Zero turned his head and found himself asking a very idiotic question.

"Looks like we're really unlucky. Lelia said helplessly.

A dozen grizzly bears blocked the road ahead, and Lelia and the others were forced to stop, as it seemed impossible to force a breakthrough.

Damn! Was the previous roar rallying our kind? Are we already surrounded?

"Yang Yan, burn them!"

Flames descend from the sky, this is Lyria's other summoned beast, the Flame Bird. Since they had been playing soy sauce before, Zero had almost forgotten the big bird that had been hovering over their heads.

Although the grizzly bear is a level 5 monster, it is strong in defense, and the innate skill of the flame bird "Wildfire Rebellion" is a large-scale attack magic like the water dragon wave, but it is not enough to kill these grizzly bears in seconds. But the most important thing at the moment is to fight a bloody way, it doesn't matter if you can't kill those stupid bears, as long as it can hinder their attack.

"Jump!" Lyria's command, the velociraptor galloped for several meters before leaping over the grizzly bears' heads.

"Keep rushing, don't stop!" Lelia continued to instruct, trying to break through the encirclement.

Sure enough, there were quite a few bear-like monsters surrounding them. The flaming birds spewed flames everywhere, and the velociraptors dodged around with all their might. After 10 minutes, there were no more bear-like monsters in Zero's field of vision.

"Whew, I've finally gotten rid of them. Lelia breathed a sigh of relief, sweat streaming down her forehead, and once again draining her magic to escape. The velociraptor who lost its source of mana was forcibly sent to the summoning space, and at the same time, Lelia also took the initiative to cancel the summoning of the flame bird.

"No, we don't seem to be able to shake off our nightmare yet......" Zero heard a familiar voice in the distance, and a bad premonition arose.

Is that...... The footsteps of human warriors......

"Why are you here?" Leonard's figure appeared in Zero's sight, and Aalce, Cal, and Silva all appeared in front of Lelia and the others.

"This!" Lelia was speechless.

The crisis did not pass, on the contrary, a larger crisis emerged.

"I've heard that in earth magic, there is a powerful technique that can change the terrain and leylines, and you can induce other creatures to lose their sense of direction by changing the terrain and leylines, so as to block the other party's path. Ahlers' brow furrowed, and he said a possibility that Lelia had never thought of.

"How so...... Then we won't be able to escape!" Lelia sat down on the ground, tears welling up in her eyes. These are tears of fear, and at the same time tears of despair.

"There is no way for us to have one last way!" Leonard's hand clenched the hilt of his sword, and his whole body burst into a brilliant light like never before, "Slaughter that stupid bear, then make its crystal nucleus into a medallion and kill it from here." ”

"Just what I want!" Ahler's eyes seemed to have a blazing flame, and red fighting energy began to surround his body, but he himself was unaware of it.

Silva looked at Leonard with a complicated look, unable to understand why the wounded creature could continue to fight. Karl looked at Ahler's figure excitedly, delighted by the changes in him.

Both Silva and Carl knew very well that they were already at the end of their crossbows, and even if they participated in the fight with the Earth Demon Bear, they would only drag the two of them back. So they consciously stood by Lelia and Ai Xue's side, hoping only to protect the girl's safety in the next battle.

It didn't take long for the sound of huge footsteps to echo in everyone's ears again.

"I'm going to fight too!" Zero eventually stepped forward, between Leonard and Allers.

"No! you're going to die!" both of them disagreed.

"Trust me!" Zero's eyes revealed incomparable determination.

“......”

"Trust me. ”

“......”

"Trust me. ”

"Alright, it's going to go!" Leonard didn't know what he was crazy about, he actually felt that Zero was a reliable teammate at the moment, enough to give her his life, could there be magic in her words?

Ales feels the same way, but now is not the time to gossip, they must be fully focused and give it their all in the face of an unprecedented opponent!

"I'll leave the task of luring the enemy to me!" Just as the two of them were gathering strength, Zero had already rushed out.

"You ......" Leonard didn't know what to say, but Zero had already rushed to a place not far from the Earth Demon Bear, and he couldn't hear the shouts behind him.

"Hey, stupid over there, look here, here!" At this distance, the sound of zero was clearly heard in the ears of the Earth Demon Bear.

"Whoa!" The Earth Demon Bear understood Zero's words, and understood that this little little dot became even more violent after scolding himself for being stupid.

"Wind Spike - Type 3!"

Zero stood in front of his chest with a knife in his hand, and assumed an unguarded posture.

"Bastard! she's going to die. Karl, who was in the rear, began to regret that he had not held back the impulsive girl, although he had not been in contact with her for long, but after all, they were comrades who had experienced life and death together.

"Don't!" Seeing this scene, Lelia recalled the moment when Zero blocked the deadly attack for herself, and her petite but brave figure resurfaced in front of her, overlapping with the silver-haired girl standing in front of the Earth Demon Bear. Last time, it was the knife with the demon-breaking effect that saved her, but this time, the demon bear's attack method is a claw attack with huge destructive power, and the knife may not be able to exert the previous magical effect.

The angry bear walked up to Zero in two steps, trying to squash the noisy mouse.

Facing the huge mountain of meat of the Earth Demon Bear, Zero's mood was extremely calm.

"It's good to see its movements. Zero jumped a step and dodged the bear's first attack.

Although he said that he was tempting the enemy, Zero still hoped very much that his attack could hurt this earth demon bear.

Claw Strike is coming!

Zero quickly rolled to the side, barely dodging the bear's claw strike, but her rise speed was too slow, and it was difficult to dodge the bear's next attack.

But it doesn't matter, the main purpose has been achieved!

A bear only has two front paws and can only fire two claw strikes in a row, so this is the perfect time for Leonard and Ales to cut into the fray.

"It's going to go. Leonard returned to the battlefield with his sword, and in his opinion, Zero was using his life to create an opportunity for them to attack, and he must not live up to Zero's wishes!

Just as Rhea and the others were charging, the second claw strike had already arrived in front of Zero's eyes. A huge bear claw appeared above Zero's head, and Zero had no time to dodge.

"You must resist this time, and you must not faint!" The repeated words have become zero obsession at this moment. Zero's body has physical defense comparable to that of a dragon, as Rhine has repeatedly confirmed. However, Zero is not very tolerant of pain, so it is easy to lose consciousness under heavy blows, in which case, invincible defense is meaningless.

"If it's like before, then when will I really gain the power to protect others!" Zero held the knife to her chest again, then raised it above her head, standing straight in place, and unleashed the original martial art she had been preparing for a long time and was proud of, the Wind Stab 3 Style.

I'm just a small level 2 assassin, and even with an artifact, I can't deliver a powerful blow to such a behemoth. An enemy that cannot be defeated by strength alone must be defeated with wisdom.

The action of force is reciprocal. This is the law of physics summed up by one of the great sages of the earth.

"If my strength isn't enough to break through your defenses!"

"Then lend me your power too!"

"Stupid bear!"

Before Zero could say anything, he was pressed to the ground by a huge bear paw. The sand and dust that rose obscured everyone's vision.

"Whoa~~Whoa~~" The giant bear let out a deafening roar again, but this time the sound was different from just now, it sounded a little miserable, not so much a roar, but more like a mournful roar.

The earth elemental evenly distributed on the surface of the Earth Demon Bear's body was also disordered at this moment, and the elemental riot further exacerbated the pain suffered by the Demon Bear.

Even if it's ...... Weak me...... It can also be done...... Something no one else can do!

There was darkness in front of me.

When Zero was hit, it took about 1 second or so for consciousness to be interrupted......

But obsession helped her regain consciousness in no time, and now, her brain is still clear.

Even if he was hit head-on by such a powerful physical attack, there would not be a single scar on Zero's body, and it would be even more impossible to break bones, bleed from internal organs, or something.

Right now, he should have been smashed directly into the ground by the giant bear's attack. It is like an iron nail that has been hammered down into the dirt.

Glad to be in the primeval forest, the ground was soft and muddy, and if there was a hard stone underground, I was afraid that I would not be able to withstand this blow.

The next moment, Zero saw the light again. It's just that the world she sees is covered with a layer of red.

"It's ...... Blood?" Zero felt her head fill with viscous liquid, and she gently twitched the corners of her mouth, and a rusty smell spread in her mouth.

This is the blood of the Earth Demon Bear! His own battle has been a complete success!

The knife broke through the bear's defenses and plunged into the bear's paws, while Zero held on to the hilt with all his might.

I'm never going to let go!

The bear's paw lifted, but instead of slipping the knife, it pulled up the zero that had sunk into the ground.

The knife was stuck in the bear's paw, and Zero grasped the hilt, and it hung in mid-air.

Enraged, the demon bear used his other front paw to shoot Zero with all his might.

Come on!

I'm and I'm never going to let go!

The fierce attack hits Zero's body again.

With a full swing of the bear's claw, the hit zero was like a kite with a broken string, no, it was too slow, it was simply a disemboweled cannonball, drawing an almost straight afterimage in the air, leaving a long blood mark!

"Ahh I don't know how many trees I knocked down, but the speed of the girl's flight did not decrease at all. Eventually, Zero's figure disappeared from the far end of vision, leaving the forest with endless stumps and broken leaves.

And the roar of the Earth Demon Bear became louder and louder, and its expression became hideous, and the wound on its abdomen, which had been carefully guarded by it, was finally exposed.

In the eyes of Leonard and Ahlers, Zero not only successfully completed the task of luring the enemy, but also broke the near-invincible defense of the Earth Demon Bear, creating the best time for the two to kill!

"There's never been a better chance to let Zero's hard work go to waste!" Ahlers shouted, kicking the ground and leaping to his feet. The fighting qi compressed to the extreme produced a piercing popping sound, leaving circles of crimson ripples on the ground!

"Collapse—" Ahlers spun around in the air, further compressing his fighting energy to the blade of his sword and the soles of his feet. The explosion sounded again, and a red fireball fell from the sky at high speed, and at the center of the flames was a swordsman named Ahlers.

"Ground Split!" This was the final blow that Allers used in the Freshman Tournament, and it was also the strongest blow he could perform with all his fighting energy concentrated!

The red meteor pointed directly at the wound on the abdomen of the Earth Demon Bear, and the tip of the sword burst out with dazzling sparks when it touched the fur of the Demon Bear, and the broad blade snapped in response, with huge kinetic energy and blazing flames submerged into the flesh and blood of the giant bear's abdominal wound. All the power attached to this powerful sword technique of the Mountain Splitting Slash was submerged into the giant bear's body, constantly crashing into its muscles, bones, and internal organs.

The intense pain caused the Earth Demon Bear to exert incredible speed, and its claw strike finally hit Ahlers. Alys was sent back into the air, only this time, he couldn't use any more sword skills. Falling back to the ground, he smashed a humanoid crater, his back and clothes completely destroyed, and his flesh was already a blur of flesh, and the crimson blood stained the surrounding land with an ominous color.

The Earth Demon Bear was also forced to sit on the ground due to internal injuries.

"......" Leonard wanted to say something, but he held back. Zero has fallen, and so has Allez, and only he can deliver a fatal blow to the Earth Demon Bear, so he won't waste any more energy!

Xiaoxue, who was in the rear, had already exhausted most of her magic power by the two spinning energy swords, but at this most important juncture, she still tried her best to add a "Fengxing" buff to Leonard.

This opportunity that everyone has done their best to create, absolutely, no mistakes are allowed! One air blade, two air blades,...... , eighteen ,...... Leonard let his body follow the flying air blades, and at the same time, he continued to add new air blades, and the superimposed air blades turned into spirals, dragging the comet-like tail to form a sharp wind cone, and the center of the wind cone was Leonard, who was performing his sword skills.

"Raptor's Sky Slash!" Leonard instantly detonated the fighting energy in his whole body, forcibly changing the direction of the wind cone, creating a vacuum in its center. Leonard's body was already covered in blood, but he didn't care, he wasn't afraid of death, but he was afraid that the blow would not be strong enough to tear through the bear's heavy fur. The vacuum created a huge pressure difference between the vacuum and the Wind Tail, causing Leonard to fly along with the Wind Cone at least ten times faster than the mid-level wind magic, Flight. Who says a warrior can't fly in the air? Isn't the facts in front of us the best counterexample!

A huge "bang" sounded, and the abdomen of the Earth Demon Bear was torn open like a worn rag, bringing out a large amount of blood, and even half of the intestines were exposed.

Leonard finally lost consciousness. His mangled body, under the influence of inertia, landed not far from Ahres's side.

But the Earth Demon Bear didn't die. Although the damage it takes is fatal, the centipede does not freeze.

It was a level 7 giant beast, and in this Demonic Beast Forest, it was a high-ranking person who almost stood at the top of the food chain, not to mention such injuries, even ordinary humiliation was rarely encountered. The Earth Demon Bear let out a cry of sorrow as its life was about to die. It stopped growling, the sharp pain, and instead calmed it down. When it looked back, it saw the two men who had brought it to shame. It will never let those two humans go! even if it takes the two of them to accompany it on the Yellow Springs Road!

"It's gathering the last of its energy, it's the innate skill of a high-level Earth-based Monster - Sabotage Roar Attack!, the target, Leonard and Aalez!" Before Lelia could finish speaking, Silva moved.

"Hey, are you going to die?" "Lelia couldn't understand Silva's intentions, did he want to save Leonard and Ales under the bombardment of a talent skill equivalent to level 7 magic?

With just a level 6 assassin in Silva, the chances of achieving this goal are nil. This is equivalent to the death sentence of Silva and the two who fell to the ground.

The Earth Demon Bear was still gathering the last of its magic, and the earth elemental frantically concentrated in front of it, a magic circle drawn by golden light looming over its mouth.

It's too late!, Lelia made a clear judgment.

But she didn't know how to get it, and it seems that she was also infected by Leonard, Ahlers, and Silva's lethal style of action, and she also began to go crazy. If you don't have enough mana, you'll have to overdraw your mental power.

Guardian Stream reappeared beside Lelia, and the water elemental frantically gathered into her hands.

"Cold water, eternal ice, the only enemy for me to penetrate, Ice Spike!"

A huge ice pick shot out of the way, slamming into the bear's head, and Lelia lost consciousness.

As long as this blow hits, it will surely reap the life of the Earth Demon Bear.

Ai Xue closed her eyes, bit her lip, and clasped her hands in front of her chest, her palms covered with sweat. She was praying for Leonard and Ahles, who were badly injured, for Silva, who was in danger, for Lelia who was unconscious, and for Zero, who was missing......

However, even when she closed her eyes, Ai Xue saw the shining golden light, and the light emanating from the giant bear's mouth was so dazzling that in an instant, Ai Xue's vision was completely overwhelmed......

"No!" was Karl's final cry.
