Chapter 50
The four young people have a solid foundation, and their tacit understanding and trust are excellent, which allows them to fully utilize their own strength. Even when facing opponents who are far stronger than them, they persist for a long time.
But this cannot change the strength and weakness of both sides. Moreover, as time goes by, the caster's power continues to be consumed, and the situation becomes increasingly unfavorable.
When the moon rose, they finally reached their limit.
"My mana is almost used up." The sweaty priest suddenly said, "At most, one or two recovery spells, there is no more."
At this time, the archer had already used up the arrows he carried with him, and he could continue fighting by picking up the arrows he had shot from the ground.
As for the mage, as the youngest and worst among the four, he had already exhausted his mana and lay exhausted on the tree and panted like a cow. The dizziness and headache caused by the exhaustion of mana made him unable to even speak, and he could only tell everyone with a pitiful smile that he would never have the strength to escape.
The soldier smiled bitterly and said, "Then this way, I'll cut off the rear, you two will retreat. If you have the chance in the future, just kill this old bear and avenge us."
They are obviously very familiar with each other, and they even know who they are talking about without even speaking their names.
The priest suddenly became angry and shouted: "As the servant of the glorious lord (the Lord of the Human Race), how could I do anything to abandon my companions and escape? Do you look down on me?"
"It's just a temporary retreat." The warrior smiled reluctantly and advised, "When fighting, there are always times to attack and times to retreat. I asked you to retreat because you are confident that you can leave with your companions alive. If you cut off the rear and I retreat, I don't have the confidence!"
The ill-talked pastor was speechless and just shook his head stubbornly and never agreed.
The two sides were quarreling, and the giant bear would not wait for them to negotiate slowly. Seeing that the enemy seemed a little distracted, they immediately increased their attack power and seized the flaws and attacked fiercely. In just a moment, they knocked the priest and the shield out. Cracks even appeared on the solid shield. The priest himself was even out of breath because he didn't have time to exert force and coughed violently.
"Oh no!" The warrior was shocked and hurriedly waved his sword, trying to attract the attention of the giant bear and gain time for the shooter to rescue the priest. But the giant bear had also used similar violent means at this moment. His strength increased greatly in a short period of time, and his claws smashed down hard, and a fierce attack. Even though he made a more appropriate response and used a shield to remove the attacking power, the remaining power had already made him unstable and staggered back several steps, but finally he could not stand and fell to the ground.
When the person fell down, his heart sank.
It's over!
The giant bear roared and rushed towards him, but he felt sore all over his body and couldn't even lift his strength. He could only wait to die.
At this moment, a sneer came from the vicinity, and a gray figure instantly crossed at least dozens of steps, rushed in front of the giant bear, blocking him.
The giant bear roared angrily, hit the ground with four claws, and rushed towards him, and in a blink of an eye.
What awaits it is a bright sword light.
The sword light flashed, blood splattered everywhere, and the giant bear's sprinting body lost its balance, hitting the tree next to it, the wound shattered, and blood spurted like a spring.
It was not until this time that the warrior saw clearly the benefactor who killed the giant bear and saved him and his companions. He was of medium size and handsome appearance, but there was a slightly weird and overly perfect feeling between his eyebrows and eyes, which made people feel like a portrait or a statue, not like a living person. This man was not tall in figure, wearing a light black leather armor, with a spear behind his back, and a long sword that was still dripping blood in his hand. Whether it was a leather armor, spear or sword, they emitted a shimmer in the darkness, and it could be seen at a glance that it was a powerful and expensive enchanting weapon.
The benefactor is obviously a knight, but unlike those knights wearing heavy armor, he should be the one who emphasizes maneuver power and attack power in leather armor.
Although he rushed so far in one go and killed the terrifying giant bear with another sword, the powerful knight had no sweat on his face, and he didn't even breathe. After breathing a long sigh, he completely returned to his calm, as if the amazing scene just now had nothing to do with him, he was just passing by and sightseeing.
He walked to the giant bear who had not completely died without anyone else, wiped the blood from the sword from the giant bear's thick fur, and then inserted it back into the scabbard. He didn't look at this side, but walked straight to the distance without looking at it.
Saving people and killing bears seems to be completely unworthy to him.
"This... this knight... please accept our... our gratitude..." The priest came back to his senses first, endured the stinging pain in his chest, and shouted loudly.
The black-armored knight stopped, but did not turn around, but waved at them.
"You have done a good job, but you should be more cautious in the future, ask the old seniors more and learn from their experiences." He said in a clear and powerful voice, "Come on, sooner or later, you can also use such a sword!"
After saying that, he stopped stopping and left straight away, leaving only the four adventurers with gratitude and longing in his chest, and the giant bear who had finally completely died of energy.
After a long time, the surging soldier couldn't help but say loudly: "I have decided! After I go back, I will continue to study hard and practice hard, and strive to be able to swing his sword as soon as possible!"
"I also have to work hard to practice and help others more, just like he helps us selflessly!" The pastor held the holy emblem tightly, his heart full of touching truth, goodness and beauty.
"I have to work hard too! If I don't work hard enough, I won't even be qualified to repay him in the future!" Sagittarius said with a smile, "It's not my style to be saved by someone but not repay him!"
Finally, the mage who was lying on the tree and couldn't climb down, also shouted: "I... I want to work hard too!"
The four friends looked at me and I looked at you. Although they were all in a mess, they saw the ignition of light on each other's faces and eyes.
"If these four little guys don't die, they might have great achievements in the future." Lei was silent all the way. After returning to the camping site, he did not take a break, but said in a deep voice, "I can see that they are very talented!"
"How does it feel to save others and be grateful for?" Sui Xiong asked with a smile.
Lei thought for a while and shook his head: "It's a bit boring. But being able to meet four good young people is not a waste of time."
After saying that, he wrapped his body with a blanket and lay down to sleep.
Sui Xiong floated in the air, staring at his obvious "sleeping" look, and couldn't help laughing again.
He used the Eye of Camp identification again, and Lei's body was still red, but the color was much lighter than when he first saw him. It was no longer as ferocious as it was, but it had a little gentleness.
The next day, they walked out of the Greystone Mountains and stepped into the territory of the Gold Coin Federation.
The Gold Coin Federation is a great country located in the west of the main plane continent. This country was established by business and was originally the country of merchants. They did business with the orcs of the Wilderness Empire, the scale tribes of the ancient wood and wilderness, and the fishmen on the vast sea. They even did business through sea routes and the Thunder Principality, the Secret Fat Tower Federation and the Dhaka Merchant Alliance thousands of miles away from the south. Since the development of the four northwest towns, their business targets have increased the number of pioneers who have established their families on the edge of the Ashes Forest and the Barren Mountains.
This country consists of dozens of aristocratic territories of all sizes, but the status of merchants is equally high. In fact, in this country, if a merchant has the same wealth as a baron, he is regarded as a baron; if he has the same wealth as a viscount, he is regarded as a viscount; if he has the same wealth as an earl, he is regarded as an earl; if he has the same wealth as a marquis, he is of course regarded as a marquis.
——Dukes are not allowed, because there is no duke in this country.
In this country, from top to bottom, they are full of desire and pursuit of wealth. This not only creates countless heroes for adventure and pioneering, but also makes the civilians work hard under various high taxes. Most of the pioneers gathered under Rhodes' arrangement are composed of these two types of people.
However, Rhodes recruited the Trail Blazers in the north of the Gold Coin Federation, and Sui Xiong and Lei are now located at the easternmost point of the Gold Coin Federation, which is far away.
After entering the Gold Coin Federation, the living environment was indeed much better than in the greystone mountains. That night, when he finally slept at the hotel bed, thunder laughed so much that he was satisfied. Sui Xiong also took the opportunity to give him spiritual chicken soup and talked about the principle of "contentment and happiness".
I don’t know if it’s because I’m in a good mood or I’m really touched it, but this time Lei did not refute, smiled, and slept peacefully.
But the next day, when he saw a few shriveled hungry people on the road, he couldn't help but frown.
"The lords in this place are not very competent," he said.
Sui Xiong also shook his head secretly. He knew that it was inevitable that people would starve to death at a level of productivity similar to that of the medieval European era, but he still felt uncomfortable when he saw the dead starving with his own eyes.
The floating jellyfish slowly floated to the shriveled corpses, waved their tentacles, and the blue and white cold light fell, turning the last wreckage of these people who were trapped to the extreme during their lifetime into fine ice chips and finally melted into the earth.
Their souls are no longer there, and even great gods can only let them be buried in peace.
After walking for a while, hunger appeared on the side of the road.
Lei's eyebrows frowned even more. He looked around the lush farmland around him, and even showed anger in his eyes.
"It's obvious that the fields are good, and there are forests and mountains nearby. How could so many people starve to death!"
"It seems that the lords here have some problems..." Sui Xiong buried these hungry people and whispered, "Why don't we go and investigate, right?"
"What's there to investigate?" Lei sneered and asked, "If the investigation results prove that the ruler of this place is a cruel lord, will you personally punish him? Let me explain first, I will not oppose a lord for this reason. This is equivalent to provoking all the nobles. I am not a madman!"
"You dare to provoke gods, what else can you not dare to?"
"Provoking all nobles is much more troublesome than causing a god..."
