Brando followed her gaze and almost threw the thorn of azure light with the sword and sheath without a shake.

What is this situation

Between the jagged ridges under the canyon, on one side are clusters of bush-like monsters passing through them. They follow the corpse witch Kabka climbing upward, like the Kuroshio layer upwelling. On the other side, in his field of vision, a slender figure is trying to climb up the rugged mountain road. She is carrying a huge package, and a sword is hung on the package, and along with the slender ponytail, she follows the girl on the stone wall. The up and down leaps forward and up and down.

Freya

Brando rubbed his eyes, almost thinking he was wrong. But he would be wrong, but Roman would not, the merchant lady looked nervous—that was Freya. But shouldn't she go with Madden to the Dagger River Beach, how could she be here? Brando didn't believe she would leave her third militia unit alone.

"It's Freya, Brando."

"I saw it, don't say anything, I will find a way!"

"Brando, Freya will be overtaken, shall we help her—" The merchant lady turned her head and asked eagerly.

"No, Roman. I don't need your help, I will find a way."

It's a pity that he doesn't even dare to feel crazy now. This situation is very delicate, but the key to changing the situation is not in his hands, but whether Lord Martha is in a good mood today. But unfortunately, it doesn’t look great—

The other side was also full of dangers, Brando looked back and saw that the corpse witch took off his calf bone without hesitation, and let the withered beast that grabbed it slipped back into the strange group. Then the other party turned over and supported the body with a pair of bone hands to climb up the rock. Its 1.7 energy levels are enough to support a pair of bones that are not too heavy to scramble between the rugged rocks—just Kabka hit it up last, but he was shocked.

Kabka raised his head, and the frightened and angry face of the young human man on the rock was reflected in the green flames in his eyes. At first, it felt that this life ripple was a little familiar, but it didn't matter to an undead soul, because it had already raised the bone stick to Brando.

Human dregs, it thought in its heart.

Brando finally couldn't care about so much at this time. He drew out the sword with a choking sound. The thorn of azure light released a dazzling light in the darkness. He inserted the next thorn into Kabka's skull-Kawi made a soft sound. , A golden flame shot out from the forehead of the corpse witch breaking a gap, burning in all directions.

"Crack—" Kabka's voice was stuck in his throat, Brando's sword was so fast that it didn't have time to react and felt that his eternal life had come to an end.

He also thought he would become a big corpse witch.

It tried its best to fall back, but the young man grabbed its bone hand down, and Kaboka was stunned, wondering why the other party wanted to save himself. But it is the undead that will always return to the dragon of disaster, how can it accept the help of a humble human? Just as Kabka was tangled, he saw the other party's hands and feet neatly tear off the ring on its index finger.

"Damn it! This human scum, robber..."

Three points of experience.

This was Kabka's last thought, and the soul fire in its eyes went out immediately. However, Brando was surprised that this corpse witch had a nice ring—the ring of spider web, +0.2 perception, familiar pattern, he also had one in the past and never lost it for commemoration.

Perception symbolizes the ability of a character to feel one's own dimension, and perfects the understanding of space and matter through hearing, smell, sight, touch and taste. This is a very important attribute in the game. At that time, there was a low-level copy of the "Public Cemetery" in Braggs, because open flames cannot be used in the copy, and the player team has to avoid a set of intricate underground tunnels. High-level monsters, so high-sensitivity, high-dexterity equipment was once very popular.

This ring was given to him by a friend of Brando. Thinking about it, it was really bitter at the time. In order to gather a set of 10Oz perception costumes, he almost broke his fortune, but in the end he failed to get through the'public grave'.

Mentioning the'Public Cemetery', he suddenly remembered that there was a good thing about warriors in that dungeon, a badge of courage, and +2 military swordsmanship. He slapped his forehead and almost forgot about it. Back then, he was disdainful of this badge.

"Brando, Brando!" Roman's voice was full of anxiety.

Brando was shocked. The merchant lady is generally not so anxious. Could something happen to Freya? He quickly threw away the bone frame in his hand and looked back, just in time to see a withered beast catching up with Freya running on the sharp rock from behind. It stretched out its withered claws to hook the belt of the girl's backpack, and then Pull her back down.

"Freya, be careful!" The businessman said'Ah', she stood up and carried her skirt and wanted to run down. But Brando retrieved the girl who didn't know the situation. Just kidding, how could she be disserviceable at this time.

"You stay here obediently for me!" He threw the spider web ring to Roman so that she would keep it safe.

There is a limit for a character to equip magic items. From the perspective of the witch, this is related to the source of a person's magic power, but for Brando, a level 2 mercenary carrying a total of 40Oz power equipment is already the sky.

"Okay, Brando, but..."

But Brando glanced around and found that he was not relieved to leave the reckless merchant lady here. Before he pulled out the thorn of azure light, the brilliance shone across the fields, and has already become a target of public criticism. At this moment, leaving Roman here might also attract an attack—

If little Roman was injured, it would really be to blame. But Freya was also in danger. He had long regarded this persistent and kind-hearted girl as his most precious companion. How could he remain indifferent

This is really a dilemma.

Of course, these thoughts are all passing Brando's thoughts for a moment. Under the valley, Freya struggled to break free from the claws of the withered beast, struggling to run two steps forward but fell down again-she had seen both of them, and a glimmer of hope was born in her panicked eyes.

"Brando—" she dragged her back before she could finish her word.

"Draw the sword!" Brando shouted.

"It entangles my backpack, I can't reach—"

This fool! Brando decisively handed the thorn of light to Roman: "This sword can restrain them and protect yourself!"

"How about you, Brando?"

The young man shook his head to signal her not to worry, then turned around and ran in Freya's direction. Damn it, it's not the first time anyway, Master Martha likes to joke with him, just open it.

But just like in the game, the monster always likes to give priority to the trouble of the weak-he hasn't jumped two levels yet, and a human-shaped bush full of thorns has stopped in front of him.

Blighted beast larvae, level 7 monster, strength 2.2 energy levels, physique 3 energy levels, dexterity 1.2 energy levels, dark attribute, fire weakening, slashing weakening, piercing half-free. The memories of the past appear in Brando’s mind like flowing water. One of the characteristics of monsters with plant characteristics is their high physique, but their agility is often their weakness—not to mention the dark attribute, weak fire, weak slashing, and the thorn of bright light. Their natural nemesis.

It's a pity that he doesn't have any, and he can't help but cursed the current hell situation with gritted teeth in his heart. The only thing he can rely on now is the dexterity of 2.1 energy levels, he doesn't plan to entangle the opponent.

But it seemed that the withered beast larva didn't reach a consensus with him. It had already made a rustling sound and pounced on it. Although the withered beast is in human form, it runs on all fours, and it looks like an uncivilized savage.

Brando turned sideways to avoid the opponent's claws, and the thorns swept across his forehead to draw a few blood marks-luckily it was not an undead, otherwise the carrion poison in his body would deepen.

But before he had time to rejoice, a line of faint green text had been cast on the retina:

"Urgent warning: paralytic toxin invasion."

I go! Brando almost yelled at him when he forgot about it. Because it used to be more than 20 levels, basically it can quietly bypass the area of the withered beast. He suddenly forgot that this thing is poisonous when attacking. Although it is only the most insignificant paralytic toxin, it can be matched with the carrion poison on his body. People can't bear it.

However, he did not dare to neglect at all. Hold down the opponent's barbed claw with both hands and push it, and then the target selects the dark red withered beast next to Freya, and a charge is triggered.

It turned out to be an adult.

He couldn't help but took a deep breath. The 4.7 energy levels of the adult withered beast even surpassed the gargoyle. The first level of power is not just for fun. But it’s a bit strange. It is reasonable to say that an adult withered beast should have been dragged away by Freya a long time ago, right

But anyway, Brando flew out with the strength of the withered beast larva, and then turned around in midair. As soon as the charge was triggered, the whole person suddenly accelerated over a piece of interlaced sharp rocks, like a continuous line on the rock. Shadow.

A distance of tens of meters is in an instant—

"Let go of your backpack, Freya!"

But Freya desperately held the backpack and shook her head. She was holding the protruding sharp stone with one hand, almost unable to support it. But Brando finally arrived one step ahead, "Bow your head." With a low voice, he drew out the long sword behind Freya, and then cut off the strap of the backpack held by the adult withered beast with a sword—

The dark red human-shaped bush immediately fell back because it lost its center of gravity. It tried to grasp something to stabilize its balance, but Brando had already kicked its chest, causing it to roll and fall into a deep crack in the back.

The withered beast is very light, so it will definitely not hang if you fall it like this, but don't even think about finding a way to come up for a while. Our protagonist breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, but when he turned his head, his tone became unusually severe:

"Are you going to die!"

Freya raised her head and looked at him with bright eyes. She probably didn't expect him to be so angry. She pressed her lips and turned her head stubbornly.

But Brando suddenly saw that her hand was worn out and it was full of blood, and he was taken aback and couldn't bear to scold again. Besides, the crisis has not been resolved. He sighed and pulled her up and said: "I have a lot to ask you, but I will talk about it later. Roman is still waiting for us on it."

"Yep."

It's a pity that Brando was about to look back, but saw two golden lights flashing into his chest. With two points of experience, he raised his head in astonishment—seeing Roman holding a skirt in one hand and a wizard sword in one hand chasing all the way down. The withered beast larva was stopped in front of her before—was carefully pierced by her sword. , And then turned into a mass of ashes.

The merchant lady seemed to be shocked too, she didn't expect the sword in her hand to be so powerful!

"Why did you come down?" Brando suddenly had an urge to beat this guy.

"But I thought about it seriously, Brando, I don't think I can protect myself."

Brando was speechless for a while.
