chapter 6 Giant bear blocking the road

"Ah!"Merric Ince suddenly woke up, it turned out to be just a dream. Merric Ince calmed down and found that he was sweating a lot. He sat up. It was still dark outside, and the moonlight outside the window shone softly through the window into the room. Anubis and Jakub were still sleeping soundly and did not notice that Merric Ince was awakened by the nightmare. Seeing that everything was as usual, Merric Ince lay down and continued to rest, but he couldn't fall asleep.

A cock crow means that it is finally dawn, and the village chief's wife has prepared breakfast early. After everyone had another hearty breakfast, they started on their way.

The village chief prepared a carriage for Anubis, but Hailey didn't like riding in a carriage and insisted on riding a knight's horse, saying that the horse was tall and mighty and comfortable to ride. Anubis didn't like driving carts either, so he planned to ride a horse. Although the dwarf horses were not as tall as ours and looked a bit like donkeys, riding them was faster than walking, so Anubis didn't care about it. Jakub was troublesome, and he couldn't do it without him. The horse he was riding later decided to remove the shed of the carriage and let him drive a carriage composed of four horses to follow. The knight also sat on the horse. Hailey finally got her wish and let the knight hold her. Her happy expression was beyond words. Merric Ince rode on the unicorn and everyone started walking towards Shengyu City.

At noon, they arrived at a place called Luoyue Mountain. They could reach Shengyu City by climbing over this mountain. Standing on the top of the mountain, they saw the main building of Shengyu College from a distance, a tall and ancient building. Hailey excitedly pointed in the direction of Shengyu College and told everyone that that was where they were going. Overlooking Shengyu City from a distance, this ancient city with a long history deeply shocked them, and their life experiences would also start to turn from there.

Everyone stood on the top of Luoyue Mountain and looked at the scenery of Shengyu City. Suddenly Merric Ince discovered that there was a strange building not far from Shengyu College. There were more than a dozen tall pillars forming a circle, and the pillars surrounded Parts were blurry and nothing could be seen clearly. The sky corresponding to the pillars was also full of dark clouds, which seemed extremely incongruous with the blue and cloudless sky. Merric Ince asked Hailey: "Where is that place?"

Hailey, who was immersed in happiness, heard Merric Ince's words, "Where?"

Merric Ince pointed to those weird pillars, "That's right there."

Everyone also looked in the direction Merric Ince pointed.

"Oh, that's a forbidden area in Shengyu City. It's heavily guarded, including many ghost knights and undead warriors, as well as many stone statues. No one is allowed to get close."

"Why do we have forbidden areas everywhere? It's true."Anubis complained, "But haha, when we get there, it won't be a forbidden area." Then Anubis laughed, and Jakub also followed suit. laughing out loud.

Hailey rolled his eyes at Anubis. Merric Ince continued to ask Hailey: "Why is it a forbidden area? Has no one ever been there?"

Hailey blinked, thought for a moment, and said: "It seems that someone has been there. Of course, this is what I heard from others. Several heaven-level masters have been there, but they did not come out. Later, the city of Shengyu City The commander sent people to cordon off this dangerous place for everyone’s safety.”

At this time, the knight sitting behind Hailey suddenly spoke, "How long has that weird place existed?"

"Well... How much can a girl like me know about these things? It's only been a long time anyway."Hailey replied.

Anubis still had a bad smile on his face, "Forbidden land? We'll have to wait until we get to Shengyu City and find time to check it out. Don't worry, I've never been to any kind of forbidden land. Hahaha, what's the problem?"

"How did someone like you get into Shengyu College with such vulgar words?"Hailey said with disdain towards Anubis.

"Alas! Hailey, I saved your life, but you forgot about it so quickly. When someone was saved, you thanked her one by one and insisted on letting us take her away. Which lady did that? It’s a matter of fact.”Anubis counterattacked.

Hailey snorted and said angrily: "If you hadn't let those dwarves go, would we have been robbed again later? Thanks to the knights, otherwise you might have been dead by now."

Anubis was speechless for a moment and turned his head to ignore Hailey. Jakub just stared at Anubis blankly. He couldn't say anything about the quarrel between his brother Anubis and the girl, while the knight and Merric Ince also smiled secretly, while the dwarf village chief was slightly embarrassed. It was someone from his village who had robbed him, so he couldn't say anything.

At this time, the Flame Knight raised his hand, pointed in the direction of Shengyu City and said: "Okay, stop arguing, hurry up and set off for Shengyu City." After hearing the knight's words, everyone pulled up the reins of their mounts, "Fight!" Several mounts carried people rushing down the top of the mountain and towards Shengyu City.

Some distances look close but are actually far away. After walking for about two hours, everyone finally got out of the Mansoura Forest.

Just when everyone was about to take a rest, there were screams of beasts coming from the forest. It sounded like the voice of a dog or a wolf. Then there was a commotion in the direction of the calls, followed by an injured wolf's mouth. He rushed out with something in his mouth, and everyone was startled. Except for the unicorn in Merric Ince and the knight's horse, the other mounts seemed to be frightened and retreated one after another. Everyone took a closer look and saw the injured wolf's mouth. There was a wolf cub in its mouth.

When the wolf saw that there were so many people here, he grunted and expressed his hostility towards everyone.

At this time , Anubis took out his crossbow and pointed it at the wolf to prevent it from attacking humans. The knight also took out his sword. Hailey was even more frightened, so she leaned closely against the knight. Seeing Hailey's appearance, the knight called Daka got Jakub. Jakub knew how powerful the knight was, so he drove over obediently. The wolf saw Jakub's carriage moving, and the threat became louder. Jakub approached the knight, and then the knight directly carried Hailey to Jakub's carriage. Hailey looked at the knight blankly, and the knight just said coldly: "You sit in his carriage, there is a woman here, if at this time If there is an accident, I have to take care of you, and everyone will be in danger. It is safer for you to ride in the carriage."Hailey heard the knight's words, although he was a little dissatisfied, but after all, it was for everyone's good, so he didn't say anything. .

The injured wolf did not actively attack people, but it did not retreat either. It seemed that there was something more terrifying behind it. It had been seriously injured. There was a big scratch on its body, and a lot of blood flowed from it, even on the ground. It's stained red. The wolf spent several minutes with the human, and finally fell down due to exhaustion. The wolf cub crawled out, whining, and gently pressed the fallen wolf with its mouth, and then slowly Slowly crawled to the wolf's belly. It turned out that the big wave was a female wolf, and the little wolf was probably its child. The little wolf found the female wolf's nipple and sucked it greedily, while the female wolf just fell to the ground quietly without any reaction.

Everyone was confused. Anubis dismounted first, holding the crossbow in one hand, and slowly approached the female wolf that fell on the ground. Merric Ince and the others watched quietly. Seeing Anubis approaching, the wolf cub seemed to feel scared. It stopped sucking milk and snuggled tightly into the mother wolf's arms. The mother wolf still did not respond. Anubis finally came to the side of the female wolf and hit the female wolf with a crossbow arrow. The female wolf did not move. He observed the female wolf for a while and then stood up and said to everyone; "Based on my many years of hunting experience, this female wolf does not move." The wolf has exhausted its energy and died."

Looking at the hind legs of the female wolf, they had been torn apart by something. Where did she get here? Everyone felt uncomfortable when they saw the wolf cub clinging to the belly of the mother wolf again. Anubis walked over and gently picked up the wolf cub. The little wolf cub was trembling in his hands. Anubis touched it. Touching the wolf cub's head, he said softly: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. Your mother is gone. What should you do?"Merric Ince saw that Anubis, who had always been a gangster, could also be tender. , I feel less disgusted with him.

Anubis held the wolf cub in his arms and came back, "brother Anubis, do you want to raise it?"Jakub asked.

"Of course. Otherwise it will starve to death soon. We can't just ignore it."

"Our boss is so kind."Jakub praised.

Merric Ince thought to himself why this Jakub was trying to flatter Anubis all the time. What was the relationship between the two of them?

Anubis didn't respond to Jakub's words. He just hugged the wolf cub and returned to his mount, caressing the wolf cub gently without saying anything.

"What should we do with the dead wolf?"Hailey asked everyone.

"Bury it,"Merric Ince suggested.

No one had any objections. Jakub got off the carriage and asked Hailey to sit down. For this kind of physical work, it was better for him to do it. However, at this moment, a beast's roar came from the direction where the female wolf ran just now, and the ground in the forest over there began to shake.

Jakub also heard the roar of the beast, and looked towards the other side of the forest. Although it was already autumn, the withered and yellow vegetation still blocked people's sight. The tremors on the ground made him feel the danger coming, but it was too late. A A huge figure sprang out of the forest and threw Jakub to the ground.

Jakub yelled, and then fought desperately with the animal on his body. This scene was so sudden that everyone was stunned at first, and then quickly recovered from the stupor. After a closer look, it turned out to be a black animal about 4 meters long. A giant bear must weigh 800 kilograms anyway. Thanks to Jakub being suppressed, this big silly guy is usually stupid, but he still has the blood of the Dorum people in his body. The Dorum people are the tallest among the human race. Adults Their average height is over two and a half meters, and they are extremely powerful. Their outstanding representative is Bree. Coto, the chief guard of the Ankara Demonic Dragon Empire in the north, who is known as the "Crazy Swordsman". He will appear again in the future. , let alone him, if it was someone else who was being suppressed at this time, I'm afraid he would have been crushed long ago. When Anubis saw that his brother was in danger, without saying a word, he first put the wolf cub in the Hailey where he was still in a daze. In He's hand, he took out a crossbow and aimed an arrow at the neck of the crazy beast. He was so confident that everyone else was afraid that he would shoot Jakub. The giant bear was stung by the arrow. While continuing to suppress Jakub, he raised his ferocious mouth and shouted at everyone. The roar was deafening and breathtaking.

The knight quickly asked the dwarf village chief to drive Hailey He's carriage and leave first. At the same time, he ordered Merric Ince, who knew nothing, to leave quickly. Merric Ince thought to himself that I am also a man. How can I leave these people in front of me at this time? I refused. After leaving, the village chief quickly drove away with the stunned Hailey.

At this time, the Anubis holding a crossbow was dealing with the giant bear, moving back and forth, and from time to time he would shoot an arrow at the giant bear's vitals, trying to attract the giant bear's attention. Jakub was also using his sucking... Jin tried his best to hold the giant bear's neck and stop the giant bear's big mouth from hurting himself. However, the giant bear's huge claws had already scratched him. He was now covered in blood, which was very scary. It really made people worry about his safety. .

Seeing that Merric Ince refused to leave, the knight stopped caring about him. He reached back and drew out the flaming spear, turned around and rode towards the giant bear on his horse. The giant bear was troubled by the Anubis at this time. Although the Anubis's crossbow arrow did hurt the giant bear, this small injury was nothing to a 4-meter-long giant beast. The crossbow arrow was still too lethal to it. It was too late to tell, but soon, the flame knight arrived on horseback and stabbed the giant bear in the back with a spear attached with flame magic. Then the giant bear roared, and the huge impact of the flames hit the giant bear. The bear bumped to the side. Upon seeing this, Anubis rushed over, quickly picked up the big guy who fell on the ground, and backed away.

Anubis protected the injured Jakub behind him. He didn't shoot the giant bear's eyes just now because he was afraid of accidentally injuring Jakub who was entangled with the giant bear. This time the giant bear was injured by the flame magic and finally left Jakub. He doesn't have to worry about hurting his friends anymore, he can just fly with an arrow. The giant bear was in severe pain from the spear injury and stood up like crazy. The four-meter-tall giant bear stood up even more terrifyingly.

The giant bear was about to charge towards them when an arrow shot into his eye. With a pop, a stream of blood spurted out from the giant bear's eyes. The giant bear covered his eyes with his claws and fell to the ground, screaming. , the giant bear’s blood flowed all over the ground. Anubis kept up his efforts, took out a few more crossbow arrows, and shot at the giant bear, trying to kill it.

The giant bear went crazy, ignoring the pain in his eyes, and rushed towards the Anubis. The Anubis quickly retreated, and the knight quickly moved forward, and used magic flame attack, stabbing the giant bear's neck again. The giant bear became smarter this time. When he saw the spear coming towards him, he dodged to one side to avoid the spear, and then hit the knight with a bear's paw. The knight quickly jumped up from his horse and dodged the blow, while the horse lowered its head and avoided it. He received a fatal blow from the giant bear. He was indeed a well-trained war horse. Dodge was also a required course for war horses. What's more, this war horse had been following the knight for a long time and had rich experience, so it could not be easily injured.

After the knight jumped up, he turned over and landed on the ground, just behind the giant bear. The knight turned around and struck hard, stabbing the giant bear in the back, and another spurt of blood came out. The giant bear screamed in pain, and quickly turned around and struck the knight with another claw. The knight retracted his spear and blocked it with his spear, but he did not expect that the giant bear's power was too great, and the knight was beaten back. He quickly stabbed the ground with his spear to slow down. Unexpectedly, the giant bear rushed over again.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Anubis fired several more arrows at the giant bear, but the giant bear didn't even care. Merric Ince looked on anxiously, unable to help, and didn't know what to do for a while.
