Avery is injured and will have to go out with Lance and Anthy for the next few days.
Going out with Lance was an amazing experience.
He would walk in front and sideways, always paying attention to the dangers around him. When a monster appeared, he would always subconsciously rush in front of Anxi to block it.
Then he remembered that his mission was to accompany Anxi to improve her level, so he retreated behind Anxi.
This is related to Lance's professional habits. As a Paladin, he has always stood at the front of the team to protect his teammates behind him.
"Ouch——!"
A prairie wolf was split in half by a long sword.
Anxi silently watched from behind as the small yellow letters "Experience Points +1" appeared on Lance's head.
Lance subconsciously eliminated the monsters that appeared, leaving no chance for her.
And because the levels of monsters near the royal capital are much lower than Lance's, he doesn't gain much experience points even if he kills monsters.
"...I'm sorry, I was negligent in my duty."
Lance took back his sword, lowered his head, and apologized to Anxi as if he had done something wrong.
Not only does he have high demands on others, he also has high demands on himself.
An Qian shook her head and didn't want to worry about it. She just said, "Otherwise, let's change our formation and get behind me."
Lance hesitated for a while. He was not used to being protected by others, but the current task was to let Anxi exercise her abilities. He shouldn't always be in the front, so he nodded and said "Okay" and walked behind Anxi. .
"Let's go."
When Lance stood still behind her, Anxi raised her sword and continued to move forward.
This time I went out not only to exercise Anxi's abilities, but also to have a mission.
The ultimate goal of their trip is to kill the elite monsters here. If the elite monsters in the area are allowed to grow, they will gradually form a chaotic place where monsters gather, which will sooner or later endanger the surrounding security.
But elite monsters usually have a certain level of intelligence. They know how to recruit subordinates to help them do things, and they also know how to use the surrounding environment to hide their location. The smarter ones also know how to use tricks, so killing it requires some skills and time.
Anthy and Lance have been in this area all day.
This time the location was a bit far away from Wang, and it would take half a day to return, so they prepared food and tents, set up camp and rested here, and then went back after completing the mission.
There are many animal monsters in this area, including gray wolves, wild boars, and eagle monsters that fly in the sky and suddenly swoop down to attack from time to time.
At the same time, there are also some strange plant monsters.
"Kacha kacha——"
Anxi cut through the thorns blocking the road.
Lance explained to her the nature of the thorns, which would creep up and wrap around the ankles of passers-by.
Then it bulges out the sharp thorns and pierces the opponent's flesh, pinning the passerby in place. Other thorns will take the opportunity to wrap around and tie the person up, making it impossible to break free.
The blood flowing from the punctured flesh will become the nourishment for these thorns.
But what about the remaining corpse after sucking the blood?
Anxi looked around and saw no trace of any corpse.
Even if the corpse rots into a ball of flesh and is absorbed by the thorns, the skeleton should still be left behind.
But the current situation is that there is nothing around and inside the thorn.
"Something's not right."
Anxi had a bad feeling in her heart. She turned around and wanted to tell Lance to take another route.
But as soon as he turned around, he discovered that Lance was standing motionless not far behind.
There is weirdness.
Anxi instantly became alert and scanned the surrounding environment.
Green grass cannot grow in this dry and cracked sand-like area. There are thorns and thorns like dead trees everywhere. It is desolate and dilapidated. There seems to be no change here.
Apart from……
A small cluster of bright yellow flowers appeared at Lance's feet at some unknown time.
Moreover, the number of these small yellow flowers is still increasing, but they do not emerge from the soil.
To be honest, it would be good if they really emerged from the soil. After all, this is still in line with the laws of plant growth, and Anxi wouldn't find it scary.
But in reality, they come from all corners.
Yes, their fibrous roots that should be rooted in the soil will be like small tentacles twisting and walking on the ground carrying small yellow flowers, getting close to Lance's feet and then rooting back to the ground.
Anxi thought for a while, it was too troublesome to use a sword to deal with the plants, and the fastest way was to burn them with fire. She took out a lighter and tried to sneak closer.
But at this time, the wind blew.
A scent of fragrance drifted across the tip of Anxi's nose, and her brain was tingling abnormally. She closed her eyes subconsciously and covered her head.
But she quickly realized that she could not close her eyes without a guarantee of safety. This would undoubtedly expose her weakness to the enemy.
But when Anxi opened her eyes again.
The scene in front of me was completely different.
The TV was playing a noisy variety show, the children playing and shouting downstairs, and the smell of cooking brought out by the stirring of the spatula...
Anxi looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief.
Is she at home now?
