The muffled sound that echoed in the mountains sounded like rolling thunder, and it was like a huge mountain rock falling from a cliff, and it rumbled for half a minute, and Betsy stopped abruptly in the middle of her words, and only after the voice died down did she blink and speak: "Could it be a landslide on the mountain road?" ”

Hao Ren's face suddenly became bitter: "I'll go, won't I be so unlucky?" ”

"Hurry up first, don't delay the time," Nangong May took the lead, and then quickly turned back, "Eh, Betsy, you come to lead the way, I don't recognize ......"

The crowd stopped talking nonsense, buried their heads and continued on their way, and began to move at full speed as far as possible through the rugged mountain road.

Built hundreds of years ago by the royal family of Halletta, the road is now in disrepair, and is usually only used by mercenaries of the best artists or adventurers who are in a hurry. The ancient road unfolds along the mountain in a zigzag way, and there are smooth stone roads in some wide places, while the narrow and steep places can only be steep slopes formed by layers of stone steps, and in some places there are not even stone steps, which are simply primitive mountain rock slopes, only a guardrail made of thick iron chains is added to the edge of the ramp. Even the world's most endurable and exotic horses were not easy to advance on this path, so the pace of progress slowed down as they crossed the gentle hills, which were initially easier to walk.

Soon after, the team arrived at a well-known and dangerous section of the trail, which had been carved out of the side wall of a steep cliff, with a thick and oppressive rock wall on one side and a cliff with a dry and cold mountain breeze on the other. The narrow mountain road, which only allows one or two people to advance, is protected by a few thick iron chains suspended from the road. The chains were fastened to several rusty iron stakes, which were nailed diagonally to the outside of the narrow passage underfoot. If you slip under your feet, it is entirely possible to fall out of the gap between the chain and the ground, so it can be said that the psychological comfort of this "guardrail" is more effective than the actual effect. So Hao Ren walked cautiously, and even Lily followed Hao Ren nervously and grabbed the corner of his clothes: this girl is currently in human form, and if she transforms into a werewolf, she must have already clamped her tail by now.

"If you fall, it will hurt to death." A gust of mountain wind hit, and Lily said with her tongue out.

Hao Ren rolled his eyes, Lily dared to say this thanks to her strong body, if ordinary people fall, how can it be described as "painful to death"?

Vivien is the lightest in the scene, and she can fly......

Before embarking on this dangerous road, Betsy had everyone drive all the horses to the front of the group, and letting these old horses lead the way in front of the head is the mercenary experience of this world: these horses themselves know how to move forward on dangerous roads, and they don't need to be led in front. And letting them go ahead also prevents the horses from getting frightened and knocking the people in front of them off the cliff in the event of an accident.

"I seem to smell ......," Vivien walked ahead of Hao Ren, and she suddenly frowned and turned back at the middle of this dangerous road, "There seems to be a smell of blood ahead, very fresh." ”

"Bloody?" Hao Ren was taken aback, and said in his heart, don't be the visitor from the other world, "Hurry up!" ”

Everyone finally walked through this narrow mountain road without danger, and after bypassing a few huge rocks, the road in front of them suddenly became clearer, and the bloody qi that Vivien mentioned was getting closer and closer, even to the point that Hao Ren himself could faintly distinguish it.

A commotion came from ahead. Mixed with the roar of people, the clash of swords, and the rumble of what seemed to be something exploding, it seemed as if there was a battle going on ahead.

Betsy had already drawn her enchanted sword, "Can you guys fight?" ”

Vivien's eyes were already glowing with blood, and Lily's ears and tail had popped out, and the two of them had no worries about the trouble of transforming in this world. So when the situation required it, she didn't hesitate to change, and Betsy was relieved when she saw their form: "Ha, it turned out to be werewolves and blood clans." At least self-preservation is no problem. Let's be careful. ”

The sounds of battle were getting closer, and the roars were mixed with the cries of some people as they were injured. After turning the last detour, Hao Ren finally saw what was happening in front of him: a team of people was fighting ...... Some kind of stone monster fighting.

Those people are also supposed to be mercenaries, wearing all sorts of equipment. The weapons and armor were all uneven, which was a typical "motley army" characteristic of mercenaries, numbering about twelve or thirteen, and they were fought by strange "creatures" that Hao Ren could not have imagined, it was a group of ...... Strange things that looked like rock statues, they were four or five meters tall, with a gray-brown mountain rock texture, roughly the shape of limbs and heads, and covered with moss and broken vines, like monsters that had come out of a grotesque magical story.

The battle seemed to have been going on for a long time, and the dozen or so mercenaries had all been wounded, and several of them had even lost their combat effectiveness, they were covered in blood, and could only barely stand on the edge of the battlefield with the support of their weapons, while struggling to dodge the aftermath of the battle, and the remaining mercenaries were not much better. Those rock trolls seem to have overwhelming combat power, although they move a little slowly, but the heavy mountain rock is simply invulnerable, most of the mercenaries' swords can only jump out of a string of sparks on these monsters, and the magic bombardment in the past only blows up some rock chips, and conversely, the rock monster casually hits a mortal mercenary is the result of skin and flesh.

The fighting methods of those monsters are also very simple and rough, that is, they rush and stompe, their slowness is not a problem, a huge creature four or five meters tall, even if the running speed is slow, it is not something that a short human can catch up with, so the mercenaries can only wait for the monster to approach and then rely on agility in a small area to try to dodge: this should be the experience that has just been accumulated.

There are only three rock monsters, but they are in danger of beating a dozen mercenaries.

On the other side of the mountain road, Hao Ren saw a large pile of broken rocks, which seemed to be the only rock monster that had been killed by the mercenaries, and he didn't know how they did it.

Hao Ren was stunned for a moment when he saw this bizarre battle scene for the first time, and Yizax had already rushed forward with a shout: "Hurry up and help!" ”

Vivien spread her wings and rushed into the air, quickly summoning two swarms of bats that were full of lightning, and began to brew her powerful lightning blast, while Lily summoned her own blades of ice and fire, raised her head and let out a long wolf howl at the sun (there was no moon at this time), and after being dizzy by the sun, she lowered her head and rushed to the cliff - Hao Ren quickly stepped forward and dragged her to turn around, and the silly girl rushed towards those rock monsters.

Nangong May quickly found a safe place to cat, and cautiously lowered her hatred value: no way, she is just a healing profession, if she faces ordinary creatures, maybe her kraken power can still work, but those rock monsters don't look like they have water in their bodies, let alone spiritual units that can be hypnotized with singing......

Hao Ren handed the girl's pot to Nangong May to hold, and also rushed up with a shield.

Although he didn't like this kind of inexplicable battle, he was a gentleman and couldn't watch from the sidelines at this time.

"Boom!" Vivien's lightning blast was finally brewing, and two cone-shaped lightning bolts of bats slammed into her nearest stone monster like two high-explosive warheads, filling the air with smoke and debris, and the sound of a huge explosion echoed through the mountains for a long time.

Lily flashed her twin blades and happily rushed into the blast range, and she wanted to snatch the head in anger: "Look at me! ”

As a result, she rushed out in the next second: "Bat, you pit bastard!" Stones do not conduct electricity! ”

The mountain wind blew, the smoke cleared, and sure enough, the rock monster that was hit by Vivien's lightning strike was still standing there, although the explosion just now was really powerful, the monster had a layer of stone cut off all over its body, and half of its head was also blown to pieces, and its body was covered with scorch marks and cracks, but it was still standing, and it had begun to pursue Lily who had rushed up recklessly just now.

It seems that for a stone monster, this injury is not a problem at all.

Vivien's lightning blast has two stages of damage, one is that two electric cones bombard together to produce an explosion caused by high temperatures, and the other is the strong electric shock itself, the latter is almost as lethal to ordinary creatures as natural disasters, and the voltage is as powerful as the thunder of nature, but the vampire girl seems to lack experience in dealing with such strange monsters: their resistance is too high, and they seem to be not afraid of explosions......

The advantage of the sneak attack has been lost, and the next step is only a head-on hard battle. (To be continued......)
