"Speaking of which, is this actually such a dangerous place..."

When Mo Tan received no answer, he sighed and leaned down slightly to assume a posture that was most conducive to fighting. There was a trace of confusion in his eyes.

Of course, he did not expect the ferocious creature in front of him that could almost be considered a monster to give him an answer, nor did he talk to himself leisurely, nor did he expect the frightened young man behind him to answer clearly.

question.

The subject of the question was a girl who fell from the sky like a gentle breeze and was infinitely similar to an 'angel' in every sense of the word.

There is no need to look back, just by the fragrance that fills the heart and lungs, you can guess the identity of the person. Without thinking, you can outline the world-famous posture in your mind. With your back to the person who looks out of place from all angles, it is a bit too much.

As a companion, Mo Tan curiously asked the girl who was more experienced than him.

"I don't know. I haven't encountered anything like this when I came here before. Do you want to help me?"

Ji Xiaoge, who frowned slightly, shook his head, and the rough and delicate weapon in his hand started to spin, making a harsh buzzing sound.

"It doesn't matter if you leave it all to me."

Mo Tan shook his head, pointed the tip of the Sun Crown Sword at the giant beast in front of him, raised the corner of his mouth with a calm arc, and said softly: "Then I'll leave the child to you."

"Don't worry~"

Ji Xiaoge shrugged, then picked up Catlin's insurance, turned to look at the frightened kobold boy with a complicated expression, took out a bottle of healing potion from his pocket and handed it to him:

"Although I was stoned by this little guy last night, don't move! Be careful, I hurt you on purpose!"

Pouting in dissatisfaction, the girl leaned over to bandage the other person's wound and stuck out her tongue.

Then he applied the bandage forcefully in a playful manner, causing pain to the boy who was not actually moving, causing the latter to let out a cry of pain.

at the same time--

Always staring at Mo Tan with vigilant eyes, the black snake that had never moved even one centimeter from beginning to end moved. There was no deafening roar, no menacing intimidation. The thick body quietly moved at the moment when the kobold boy let out a cry of pain.

It bounced up from the ground silently, turned into a silent black thunder, and rushed straight towards Motan... half a meter to the right.

It was not a thoughtless hunt or a cowardly escape. This battle-hardened hunter simply relied on instinct to do what was most suitable for the current situation.

Without letting down the slightest bit of vigilance, he easily judged that the other party did not intend to attack him directly, but instead rushed to his side. Mo Tan did not even move, and did not even look back at the person who was passing by him.

The murderer just calmly raised the heavy sword in his hand and swung it into the air beside him seemingly carelessly.

Immediately afterwards, the giant snake that opened its mouth and looked back suddenly had three of its fangs knocked out by the sword. It originally wanted to strangle the second half of Mo Tan's body but failed. With the help of the reaction force,

The latter, who made a wrong step and turned around, carefully avoided and rolled up.

"I always feel that it's easier to deal with than I thought."

Mo Tan gently lifted up the broad blade with "two-handed sword" clearly written on the panel with one hand, and swung out a sharp sword wind to cut off the left one of the black snake's fangs, and then turned around

The sword body used the hard handle to directly smash the monster's jaw, which had been seriously dislocated on purpose, and in the next second, he lifted the giant sword straight down and penetrated the giant snake's 'seven inches' position exactly.

, nailed it to the ground.

Of course, the so-called seven inches is just a relative concept. In fact, Mo Tan used the giant sword to nail the position near the heart of most snakes. It is not much different from attacking the head, heart, and throat of humanoid creatures. It is easier.

Create an angle that causes fatal damage.

That's the theory...

Boom!!!

Catching the imperceptible whistling sound, Mo Tan drove the giant sword to open the black snake's skin and cut it behind him, and collided with the thick torso that was wrapping around him in mid-air, making a harsh fighting sound.

"I underestimated you."

After blocking another round of strangulation, Mo Tan took a breath and looked at the two brand-new fangs in front of him that were shining with cold light, almost transparent in color, and seemed to have some kind of dark liquid flowing continuously inside.

He opened the heavy sword in his hand.

A regular-looking, seemingly featureless one-handed long sword appeared in his right hand.

A heraldic shield with a regular appearance and no distinctive features is held in the left hand.

It's not something that looks like something but has something too ordinary for ordinary people. Mo Tan's sword and shield combination is just two pieces of equipment that are excellent in quality and only excellent in quality. Its connotation is as satisfactory as its appearance.

[Cold Steel Sword] and [Ancient Eagle Shield], if used by another person, their value can only be used to 100% at best.

However, in the hands of Mo Tan at this moment, whether it is a sword or a shield, it has been sublimated into something that has transcended the category of "equipment" and is infinitely close to the accent of art, playing in harmony with the ferocious predator.

Let out a raging sound like a roaring wave!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!

No matter which angle the attack came from, no matter whether it was the head, tail, fangs, or poisonous parts, they were all blocked by the heraldic shield that looked weathered, and the strength or softness on it was constantly being offset.

No matter how it is removed or deflected, it cannot cause even the slightest actual damage to Mo Tan.

The one-handed sword kept passing by from incredible angles like a ghost, either using the blind spot covered by the shield, or using the blind spot hidden when the sword wielder moved around, or using the enemy Black Snake himself.

, the shadow-like sword will raise a stream of blood every time it appears, constantly consuming the power and life of the monster.

In the process, the strong figure of Yaya passed straight past the man and the snake in the fierce battle. Without even looking at his fighting companions, he disappeared from the edge of the battlefield amidst a burst of shouts, his head turned upside down.

No reply.

This is not an unkind move, but a feeling of unconditional belief that the partner will win without paying any price.

Because she knew that Mo Tan would definitely win, and she also knew that she wouldn’t even see him injured when he came back, Yaya was naturally not so pretentious as to go in to help in this situation, or add a message when passing by Mo Tan.

Oil or something.

She likes to wear motan, but that doesn't mean she will act coquettishly regardless of the occasion.

When her companions can perfectly contain or even suppress the enemy, the girl as a scout has only one thing to do now, which is to confirm the environment around the battlefield with her own eyes and feed back any minor inconsistencies to her teammates.

In addition, if Yaya has any other ideas at this time, it can only be extended in the direction of the edible value of the black snake. If combined with some factors related to Ji Xiaoge...

.

"Ouch——"

After wiping the snake blood that had splashed on his face when he passed by Mo Tan, the Inspector Quan Niang, whose voice was trembling, shook his head, clearing his mind and focusing on nothing else.

On the other side, Dabus and Jadeka, who had successfully reunited with Ji Xiaoge, were looking intently at the battlefield not far away, with no intention of going to help.

"I feel like Mo has a huge advantage."

Although it was difficult for Dabus, a spellcaster, to clearly interpret the battle situation, he was still able to make a firm judgment when he saw Black Tan and Black Snake changing their attack and defense rhythms a few meters away.

The reason is very simple. Not only did his friend have no intention of calling for support, but he also suffered almost no injuries except for the blood-stained heraldic shield on his left hand, at least nothing that looked like an injury. However, his enemy had already suffered injuries.

There were dozens of criss-crossing blood mouths, and the blood spurted out in all directions as the giant snake went berserk, spilling out an abstract and delicate flower of blood with the center of the battlefield as its core.

“Superb…”

Jadeka, who was watching the battle from a safe position like Dabbs, narrowed his eyes and murmured in a low voice while relying on his innate instinct to quickly separate and analyze Mo Tan's movements.

"What?"

Dabus, who didn't hear clearly, tilted his head and looked at the old mage holding his arms.

"Excellent shield skills."

Jadeka showed a smile of surprise mixed with confusion, his eyes still closely followed the half-dragon knight who was fighting the black snake, and said softly: "Although the Diesel family does not have much research on this aspect of skills

, our talented ancestors have never had anyone who was proficient in shield-bending, but the knight's guide handed down still records a lot of related knowledge. Of course, it is knowledge based on defeating the imaginary enemy of the shield-bending person.

, As for the content, I remember most of it as my parents forced me to endorse it when I was young."

Dabbs was stunned for a moment, then suddenly hammered his right hand hard, and exclaimed: "Wait a minute, I remember that your Diesel family's knight's guide should be in Mo's hand. Could it be that he got it from that book?

Did you tell me how to master the powerful shield technique from the knowledge of those who use shields?"

This is not a reliable guess, but Dabbs's bold idea is not groundless. After all, regardless of the effect of the items, after Mo Tan obtained the promotion profession of [Justice Knight], the Knight's Guide can already be used

I used it to read. Although it is full of obscure content, I might be able to understand it if it is silent. In this way, it is not surprising that I can understand some additional content on the basis of understanding. In addition,

, or maybe he completed some hidden mission through that book. This is the possibility that Dabus thought of.

But Dabbs guessed wrong.

"That's not what happened."

Jadeka shook his head without thinking, and then applied a thin layer of ice to the staff in his arms: "No matter how talented Mo is, it is absolutely impossible to understand this level of shield skills from that book.

, Well, from another perspective, I think there is no record of cracking the way he uses the shield in the knight's guide. Since there is no way to crack it, it is impossible to learn it by reading the guide. "

In the center of the small battlefield, the scarred monster suddenly let out a piercing roar, and its body twisted into a weird W shape. The sharp snake tail and the fangs that had been regenerated countless times were separated.

Attacking Mo Tan from the left and right sides, at the same time, a wound on the side of the giant snake suddenly opened, and a plume of purple poisonous blood with a fishy and sweet smell burst out.

That's right, it's poisonous blood. Poisonous blood can be seen at a glance, and judging from the color and smell, the proportion of poison in it is even higher than that of blood.

Although it was much inferior to its enemy in terms of intelligence, with its innate fighting instinct, this giant snake still seized the opportunity to create a sharp and decisive killing blow.

There is a snake tail on the left and a snake fang on the right. No matter where you break through, you will definitely be blocked for at least half a second to a second. In this case, you will never be able to avoid the poisonous blood.

As for moving forward, even if you can use a shield to intercept most of the poisonous blood, the back of the empty door will be attacked immediately, or even directly strangled.

It looks beautiful if you retreat, but you will still face the same problem as going forward. Because the opponent uses the body to attack, so in addition to the snake venom that has been released from the body, it is extremely controllable. Turn around first and then retreat.

Something is bound to happen, and if you retreat too slowly without turning around, something will happen.
