The four young people had a solid foundation, and the tacit understanding and trust between them were outstanding, which allowed them to fully exert their strength. Even in the face of opponents who were far stronger than themselves, they still persisted for a long time.
But this did not change the difference in strength between the two sides. As time went by, the spellcasters' power continued to be consumed, and the situation became more and more disadvantageous.
When the moon rose, they finally reached their limit.
"My magic power is about to run out," the sweaty priest suddenly said. The sweaty priest suddenly said, "At most, we can use one or two more healing spells. There's no way we can use more."
At this time, the archer had already used up the arrows he had brought with him. He could only continue fighting by picking up the arrows he had shot before from the ground.
As for the mage, as the youngest and the weakest of the four, he had already exhausted his magic power. He was exhausted and lying on the tree, panting like a cow. The dizziness and headache caused by the exhaustion of magic power made him unable to even speak. He could only tell everyone with a pitiful smile that he absolutely did not have the power to escape.
The warrior smiled bitterly and said, "Then how about this, I will cover the rear, and you two can retreat. If there is a chance in the future, just kill this old bear and avenge us."
They were obviously very familiar with each other, and even without the name, they knew who they were talking about.
The priest suddenly became angry and shouted, "As a servant of the God of Glory (the Master God of the human race), how can I abandon my companions and run away! Are you looking down on me?! "
"It's just a temporary retreat." The warrior forced a smile and persuaded, "In a war, there is always a time to attack and a time to retreat. I asked you to retreat because you are confident that you can leave with your companions alive. If you cover the rear and I retreat, I don't have this confidence! "
The priest, who was not good with words, was speechless. He just stubbornly shook his head and refused to agree.
The two sides could not come to an agreement, but the giant bear would not wait for them to slowly negotiate. Seeing that the enemy seemed to be a little distracted, it immediately increased the power of its attack and seized the opportunity to attack fiercely. In just one blow, the priest and his shield were blasted away, and cracks even appeared on the sturdy shield. The priest himself did not have time to properly exert his strength, so he choked and coughed violently.
"Oh no!" The warrior was shocked and hurriedly waved his long sword, trying to attract the giant bear's attention and buy time for the archer to rescue the priest. But at this moment, the giant bear had also displayed a similar violent method. In a short period of time, its strength increased greatly, and its claws smashed down fiercely. With a fierce pounce, he made a more appropriate response and used the shield to deflect the attack, but the remaining strength was enough to make him lose his balance. He staggered back a few steps, and finally, he could not stand still and fell to the ground.
As he fell, his heart sank.
It's over!
The giant bear roared and pounced at him, but he felt sore all over and couldn't summon any strength. He could only wait for death.
At this moment, a sneer came from nearby. A grey figure crossed at least a dozen steps in an instant and rushed in front of the giant bear, blocking its path.
The giant bear roared angrily. Its four paws landed on the ground as it sprinted over. In the blink of an eye, it was right in front of him.
What awaited it was a bright sword light.
The sword light flashed, and blood splattered everywhere. The giant bear lost its balance and hit the tree next to it. Its wound burst open, and blood spurted out like a fountain.
It was only then that the warrior saw the benefactor who slew the giant bear and saved him and his companions. He had a medium build and a handsome face. However, there was a strange sense of perfection between his eyebrows. It made people feel like he was a portrait or a statue. He did not look like a living person. The man was not tall, wearing a light black leather armor, carrying a long spear on his back, and holding a long sword that was still dripping blood in his hand. Whether it was the leather armor, long spear, or long sword, they all emitted a glimmer in the darkness. At a glance, it could be seen that they were powerful and expensive enchanted weapons.
Spear, sword, and charge. This benefactor was obviously a knight. But unlike those knights who wore heavy armor, he was wearing leather armor and should be the kind that emphasized mobility and attack power.
Although he sprinted so far and killed the terrifying giant bear with one sword strike, there was not a drop of sweat on this powerful knight's face. Even his breathing was not messed up. After a long breath, he completely calmed down, as if the amazing scene just now had nothing to do with him, and he was just passing by for sightseeing.
He walked in front of the giant bear that was not completely dead, wiped the blood on the long sword on the thick fur of the giant bear, and then put the sword back into the scabbard. After that, he did not look at them, and walked straight into the distance.
Saving people and killing the bear seemed to be completely not worth mentioning to him.
"This … this knight … please accept our … our gratitude …" It was the priest who recovered first. He endured the stinging pain in his chest and shouted loudly.
The black-armored knight stopped but did not look back. Instead, he waved at them.
"You did a good job, but in the future, you need to be more cautious. Ask more from the old seniors and learn from their experience." He said with a clear and powerful voice, "Keep up the good work. Sooner or later, you will also be able to swing a sword like this!"
After that, he did not stay any longer and walked away, leaving only the four adventurers who were full of gratitude and longing, and the giant bear that was finally completely dead.
After a long time, the excited warrior could not help but say loudly, "I've decided! When I go back, I will continue to study hard and strive to swing a sword like his as soon as possible! "
"I also need to work hard and help others, just like he selflessly helped us!" The priest held the holy emblem tightly, his heart full of true kindness and beauty.
"I also need to work hard! If I don't work hard enough, I won't even be qualified to repay him in the future! "The archer said with a smile," It's not my style not to repay someone who saved my life! "
Finally, the mage who was lying on the tree and could not climb down also said loudly, "I … I also need to work hard!"
The four friends looked at each other. Although they were all embarrassed, they could see the light on each other's faces and eyes.
"If these four little guys don't die, they may have great achievements in the future." Ray was very silent along the way. After returning to the camp, he did not hurry to rest, but said in a low voice, "I can see that they are very talented!"
"How does it feel to be grateful for saving others?" Sui asked with a smile.
Ray thought for a while and shook his head, "It's a little boring. But to be able to meet four good young people, it is not a waste of time. "
After saying this, he wrapped his body in a blanket and lay down to sleep.
Sui Xiong floated in the air, watching his obvious "sleeping" appearance, and could not help but laugh again.
He used the [Camp Appraisal Eye] again. Ray's body was still covered in red light, but the color was much lighter than when he first saw him. He was no longer as ferocious as before, and instead had a slightly gentler feeling.
The next day, they successfully walked out of the Graystone Mountains and entered the territory of the Commonwealth of Gold Coins.
The Commonwealth of Gold Coins was a big country located in the western part of the Main Plane. This country was founded on business and was originally a country of merchants. They did business with the Orcs of the Wilderness Empire, the Scaled Tribe of the Wild Swamp of Ancient Wood, the Murlocs of the Vast Sea, and even the Duchy of Thunder, the Commonwealth of Mifata, and the Dhaka Business Alliance, which were thousands of miles away in the south. Since the development of the four northwestern towns, their business partners had increased to the group of pioneers who settled down in the Ash Forest and the edge of the Barren Mountains.
This country was composed of dozens of large and small aristocratic territories, but the status of the merchants was equally high. In fact, in this country, if a merchant had the same wealth as a baron, he would be regarded as a baron; if he had the same wealth as a viscount, he would be regarded as a viscount; if he had the same wealth as an earl, he would be regarded as an earl; if his wealth was comparable to that of a marquis, of course, he could be regarded as a marquis.
It was not possible to be a duke, because there were no dukes in this country.
In this country, from top to bottom, people were full of the desire and pursuit of wealth. This not only created countless brave men who took risks and pioneered, but also caused the civilians to work hard under all kinds of high taxes. The group of pioneers who were gathered under the arrangement of Rode were mostly composed of these two kinds of people.
However, Rode recruited pioneers in the northern part of the Commonwealth of Gold Coins, while Sui Xiong and Ray were now located in the easternmost part of the Commonwealth of Gold Coins, which was far away.
After entering the Commonwealth of Gold Coins, the living environment was indeed much better than in the Graystone Mountains. That night, Ray, who finally slept on the hotel bed, laughed with satisfaction. Sui Xiong also took the opportunity to give him a lot of chicken soup for the soul, talking about the principle of "contentment".
Not knowing whether it was because he was in a good mood or because he really felt touched, Ray did not refute this time. He smiled and slept soundly.
But the next day, when he saw a few shriveled starving people on the road, he could not help but frown.
"The lord of this place is not very competent," he said.
Sui Xiong also shook his head secretly. He knew that in this world, which was similar to the productivity level of Europe in the Middle Ages, it was inevitable that people would starve to death. But it was still very uncomfortable to see the starving people who died stiffly.
The floating jellyfish slowly floated in front of the shriveled corpses, waved its tentacles, and a blue and white cold light fell, turning the last remains of these people, who were exhausted to the extreme before their death, into fine ice chips, and finally into the earth.
Their souls were long gone, and even the great gods could only let them rest in peace.
After walking for a while, starving people appeared on the roadside again.
This time, Ray frowned even more. He looked around at the lush farmland around him, and even showed annoyance in his eyes.
"The farmland is obviously good, and there are forests and mountains nearby. How can so many people starve to death!"
"It seems that there is something wrong with the lord of this place …" Sui Xiong also buried these starving people and whispered, "Why don't we go and investigate?"
"What is there to investigate?" Ray sneered and asked, "If the results of the investigation prove that the lord who rules here is a cruel lord, Your Majesty Void Mask, will you personally punish him? First of all, I will not go against a lord for this reason, which is equivalent to provoking all the nobles. I am not crazy! "
"You even dare to provoke a god, what else do you not dare to do?"
"Provoking all the nobles is much more troublesome than provoking a god …"
As they walked and talked, they gradually approached a river flowing out of the forest. Just as Ray was looking for a bridge to cross the river, he heard a cry for help …
