Chapter 66 Chase
In the early morning, Locke stretched his waist and woke up from the cave, patted Angelina who was still sleeping beside her. Angelina rubbed her sleepy eyes. The wind was very strong last night. Although there was a shallow sunken cave blocking it, there were still a lot of cold winds coming in. In addition, the wild beasts in the Bering Mountains were howling one after another in the second half of the night, Angelina really didn't sleep well.
It doesn't matter to Rock, it may be because of its thick lines, but Rock has been leaping since he woke up, and he always has a bad premonition. It's still too close to the Mofi Forest and needs to leave as soon as possible. Rock thought of the threat from the Mofi Forest.
It was still early, and the two of them walked on the journey. After crossing this hillside, they climbed two more mountains and left the mapping area of the Mofi Forest, and then they belonged to the hinterland of the Bering Mountains. Locke planned to arrive this evening. Just when he left yesterday, Locke and Angelina were venturing. He would not rest easily when he was not sure to reach the safe area. Even if he had lunch, he would have eaten a few fruits.
The forests in the morning also had a cool air from last night. Because it was winter, it was quiet everywhere. If there weren't some migratory birds flying over the heads from time to time, Angelina would have doubted whether they had entered the ghost world.
Rock took the lead and walked ahead, unlike the lush jungle that Rock had seen before. Here you can see a corner of everything that is silent in winter. There is no road in the mountains and forests, so you can only walk out with your feet. Rock waved the branches to clear the stumbling blocks, dry thorns, and sharp stones. If you accidentally touch it, even an iron man like Rock would leave a deep trace.
Angelina complained about this for a long time. The sharp thorns and branches did not scratch her, but her clothes were almost broken and could not be worn. Locke promised to find a place to rest tonight and would help her with the clothes to see if she could sew it. Locke, who had never touched silk, didn't have much thought in her heart, and didn't know if she could sew it well.
Just as the two of them had just walked up to the first mountainside that they needed to cross, the old wolf tracked down one kilometer behind them had arrived. The wolf was famous for its durability. The old wolf had been chasing from last night to the present, and it was just gasping for breath. Its green eyes stared at the two small black dots in the distance.
Lao Wolf, who had just advanced to the low-level monster Moonlight Wolf, originally thought that he could have a big meal in the morning, but he didn't expect that the two preys he was targeting left their original position early. In this kind of ghost weather in winter, even the wild beasts with thick skin and flesh were unwilling to move. Why did these two humans get up so early? Lao Wolf couldn't figure it out and didn't want to continue thinking about it. Only a generous meal could relieve its hungry stomach.
Locke's body was stuck, and it felt so familiar, murderous, and it had a breath that threatened his life. Locke had been comfortable for a long time. The last time he had this feeling was the offensive and defensive battle of Felmer Canyon half a year ago.
Not only Locke felt it, but Angelina, who was keener than Locke, also discovered that the magician had higher mental power and was always sensitive to the malice caused by other creatures.
The two of them looked at each other and became cautious. How could there be murderous intention in this place? Was it stared at by a wild beast?
Locke had carefully avoided some creatures that put him under pressure on the road, most of which were demonized creatures. Although Locke wanted to see demonized creatures, he was not an ignorant person. The two of them were now wandering alone in the forest. If they were easily injured, no one would accept the unpredictable result.
Could it be a beast like a tiger or a leopard? Locke can only think so. Since practicing Dou Qi, Locke's strength has changed every day. Now he has been firmly in the entry-level knight attendant class. That is to say, 3 second-class privates or 9 third-class privates, Locke can deal with it easily at the same time and can suppress 10 ordinary beasts at the same time. Only large beasts like tigers and leopards can do it.
Even a tiger or a leopard is impossible. Although there is no half-body armor or a convenient sword or spear, Locke is also confident. If there are wild beasts who are not open to him, he will educate these beasts with a piece of meat palm.
It is not impossible to be large wild beasts. In winter, many large carnivorous beasts will choose opponents with similar strength because they cannot hunt enough food. Wild beasts rarely have keen perceptions. They rely on the measurement of biological calories and qi and blood. In terms of qi and blood, even if there is a gap between Locke, who is practicing Dou Qi, and at this time, it will not be much different from a leopard.
The distance has reached the killing line of Lao Lang. Lao Lang no longer covers his whereabouts and stimulates his whole body strength. With a whoosh, it turns into a afterimage and rushes towards Locke and Angelina in the distance. As it advances to the Moonlight Wolf, the power of the Moonlight gives it agile body that is stronger than that of ordinary wolf monsters. Even under the bonus of moonlight at night, the Moonlight Wolf's speed can be comparable to the shadow leopard that sneaked into it yesterday.
Lao Lang rushed towards Locke and others from the hillside not far away. Locke and Angelina, who had been wary of their previous murderous aura, immediately discovered the uninvited guest on the hillside behind him. A gray-white figure left behind afterimages, and Locke couldn't even see Lao Lang's leg lifting action clearly.
"Run!" Locke turned around and pulled Angelina behind him and ran away. With the momentum of the guy chasing them, Locke was not difficult to guess that its level was definitely beyond him. Faced with enemies who were stronger than him, Locke usually chose to retreat. He was not a naughty young man, and the naughty young man could not survive for four years on the battlefield. It was not very embarrassing to avoid people who were stronger than him. In Locke's opinion, he was not very embarrassed. Survival of the fittest, and there was hope for survival.
Locke pulled Angelina while running, looking back, not knowing it. He was shocked when he saw them. The guy chasing them was getting closer and closer to them, and his speed was still getting faster. Locke and Angelina were running at a slower speed, and they could continue to accelerate at a speed far beyond them. What the hell is this?
"What the hell is this?" Rock asked while running, she pulled Angelina. Angelina was now a living dictionary in Rock's eyes. Rock felt that there was nothing in the world that Angelina didn't know.
Angelina was grabbed by Locke and ran a little faster. She took the time to look back and stared at the guy chasing them for a while. She was confused first, and then showed a look of surprise, "Is this... this is a moonlight wolf?" Angelina said uncertainly.
"Moonlight Wolf? What's the thing?" Locke asked, running without slowing down.
"Moonlight Wolf is a low-level monster. She is good at understanding light-based magic, agility and endurance. She is a different species among wolf-type monsters." Angelina said, "Light-based monsters are rare, and she didn't expect there will be Moonlight Wolf in this place." Angelina was surprised that here, are they so lucky? Where demonized creatures like the Bering Mountains can dominate, there will be light-based monsters.
"Dan!" Locke cursed inwardly, and he understood several messages when Angelina said that. One was that the guy chasing them behind was a low-level monster, and his level was one level higher than the two of them. The other was that this guy was also good at agility and endurance. Why do you run away? Just fight hard!
While speaking, the distance between Laolang and them had been reduced to more than 20 meters. At this distance, Laolang only needed two pounces to catch up with Locke and Angelina.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and Locke thought it was useless to run, so he might as well fight. So the speed of running suddenly dropped, protecting Angelina behind him, staring at the moonlight wolf chasing them.
When the old wolf saw Locke stop, he also stopped. The huge wolf head stared at Locke quietly. After advancing to the Moonlight Wolf, the old wolf lost the irritable temperament of the fire wolf and had a little more calmness. The wolf is a rational animal.
Lock felt that he had been very frustrated recently. He first wanted to find a Sharlot enemy of the same level to try his strength after practicing Dou Qi. Unexpectedly, a group of blood-red armed soldiers came out. The blood-red armored man led by him even killed their troops. He even needed to jump off the cliff to avoid hunting. If there wasn't a saltwater lake under the cliff, he would have become a fill of wild beasts in the forest.
Later, I wanted to see the demonized creatures, but at the Salt Water Lake, I only saw a group of castrated versions of the little creatures with the potential of demonized creatures. This time, I didn't see the demonized creatures, and I went straight to find them bad luck.
Even the clay man was also angry. He was active on the battlefield since the beginning of the war between Fostertan and Charlotte. He had never seen anything. He had never killed an opponent who was stronger than him. When he first killed someone, Locke had just joined the army for two months. It was his first battlefield. At the age of 14, Locke, who was malnourished at the age of 14, could beat anyone, but in that case, with a bloody spirit, he killed a Charlotte man who was bigger than him and stronger than him.
Locke may have been much more comfortable after becoming the squad leader in the past two years. Even opponents of the same level rarely kill alone. When he was pressed by the Moonlight Wolf, Locke was thinking about the last time he killed people above the level. It was last year's bloody battle in Gordon Heights. Locke and Kane of Private's third-class attacks and attacked and killed a squad leader of the second-class soldier when they escaped from the siege of the Charlottes. It was also the military card of the Second-class private that he had gained, becoming one of the helps Locke awarded the rank of the siege captain after the war. Now he doesn't believe that he can defeat a beast.
On the other hand, Angelina told the monster that the level of the monster was only low-level monster, which made Locke fight desperately. The blood-red armored man before gave him too much pressure, which made him not have the intention to resist at all. At present, the moonlight wolf, who only had low-level monsters, had not given him a desperate situation of death.
"Come on!" Locke threw down the turf, jerky and other debris on his back, holding only the wooden stick for opening the way, staring at the old wolf.
Lao Lang also put away his previous contempt and stood opposite Locke. Lao Lang then realized that the two humans that he regarded as the meal on the plate actually gave it a faint threat. He thought they were two ordinary humans, but he didn't expect that these two humans were at the level of demonized creatures.
This is the biggest difference between humans and beasts. Locke and Angelina can get the basic situation and strength of Lao Lang through observation from afar. Lao Lang can only track the two of them by relying on their smell. When tracking, they cannot know their strength.
Moreover, humans are different from monsters. Knights are majoring in fighting spirit. The fighting spirit power circulates in their bodies. Unless they deliberately have too much difference in strength, they will not normally exude their own surging aura like monsters. Magicians are even more low-key. Many powerful magicians stand with ordinary people, and even ordinary people give you a feeling more like magicians than the magicians next to him.
The old wolf hesitated. It had just advanced to the low-level monster, and its magic was used to repair wounds and hidden injuries. At this time, it was only relying on the physical fitness strengthened after the Moonlight Wolf. Should we continue to hunt these two humans? To be honest, the leopard that attacked it last night was easier to deal with than these two people-
