It's still about half a day's journey from the outer city of Chaos City.
Hanks and his team gritted their teeth and ran as fast as they could.
Behind them is a fourth-level, fourth-level monster known for its slow movement, high defense, and gentle personality - the One-Horned Lizard.
The body is nearly 10 meters long, and its whole body is covered with a thick earth-brown surface, like armor. .
The limbs are thick and powerful, with sharp claws.
The head is a triangular and slender head like a large lizard, but on its forehead, it has a half-meter-long horn that shines with cold light.
The one-horned lizard is one of the few monsters that is close to humans in the seven desert countries and the outside world.
With strong strength and gentle personality, he has always been the first choice of the human race to choose a force to protect the monsters.
Hanks and his friends would never have thought of it.
The one-horned lizard they met in the desert, known for its gentle personality, turned out to be a bloodthirsty monster!
The two sides just glanced at each other inadvertently in an oasis, and Hanks and his party ran away.
Without him, in the oasis, there are corpses everywhere around the horned lizard...
When Hanks saw it, the horned lizard was eating...
It was also this look that made the one-horned lizard give up eating and go straight to Hanks and his party.
Although its speed is very slow, for a group of people whose average strength is less than level 2, it is already very fast.
They gritted their teeth and ran towards the outer city of Chaos City...
"Hold on, we will be saved when we reach the outer city of Chaos City!"
Hanks encouraged his companions as he ran.
At the same time, I scolded that guy An Kai inside my heart...
"Damn An Kai, you bastard really has a conscience, not much!"
"We agreed to protect me the whole time, but as soon as the Duke of Bucklin ended, the assassin disappeared!"
In a moment of greed, Hanks decided to fight for Widow Wang's future life and lead a team to the Seven Kingdoms.
His hope for survival had never been placed on the fifth-level [Assassin] professional, Malcolm.
If you think about it from his perspective, if there is only a fifth-level professional to protect you, he will not send him out. It is best to have such a powerful helper by your side.
Therefore, during the trip to the seven countries, Hanks believed that he relied more on himself.
What can attract him is the 10% tax promised by Ankai.
Even if he dies, he can still leave it to Widow Wang. This is what really touched Hanks.
When they first entered the Bucklin Principality, Hanks and his party encountered trouble.
He originally wanted to solve the problem on his own, but someone secretly helped him solve the problem.
This hidden attack method made Hanks immediately think of the fifth-level [Assassin] Malcolm.
After solving the trouble, Hanks muttered: "This guy has changed his personality? But it's not bad!"
I thought that An Kai was unexpected and actually sent a fifth-level [Assassin] to protect him throughout the process. Hanks became more confident in the Seven Kingdoms trade...
As a result, just after arriving in the second country, Hanks realized the reality.
Encountering trouble again, I wanted to rely on the fifth-level [Assassin] Malcolm to take action again, but I waited for a long time until someone in the team died, and did not wait for Milken to take action...
By this point, Hanks understood.
An Kai, the little bastard, has already recalled Malcolm.
I had no choice but to save some energy and get through it safely, but I was forced to use my connections and my own strength when I was a spy from the Seven Kingdoms.
Difficult to complete the trade mission.
The team brought by Hanks was also weak.
How did he know that the reason why the Bucklin Principality was able to solve the trouble was because he happened to meet Will Bucklin there.
Will Bucklin, who was promoted to the fifth level through blood sacrifice, became a real alien in the town of the dead.
He did not follow Donglin's arrangements and walked in war and turmoil.
.
Wherever there is war, there is Will Bucklin.
Slowly, rumors began to spread in the seven surrounding desert countries about a skeleton who liked to break up fights and often appeared in wars.
It just so happened that there was civil strife in the Bucklin Kingdom. Will Bucklin came here and met Hanks and his party who were in trouble.
Will Bucklin recognized Hanks and recalled him as someone close to Ankai.
In addition, I happened to hear that Hanks and the others were here to restore trade in the outer city of Chaos City and to solve the problem of food for the residents in the city.
So Will Bucklin didn't hesitate to help Hanks and the others solve their trouble.
Worried that his appearance would be misunderstood by Hanks and others, Will Bucklin chose to hide his attack.
This also caused Hanks' misunderstanding of An Kai.
I thought that An Kai really sent the fifth-level [Assassin] Malcolm to protect him for a while, and I felt a little moved in my heart...
How did Hanks know that Ankai's order to Malcolm was to "send him out of the city and then return..."
After stumbling along the way, Hanks finally returned to the desert, thinking that he would just lie down and collect money from now on.
Who knew that in this desert, I would encounter the biggest trouble of the trip!
The fourth-level, fourth-level one-horned lizard is an uncharacteristically violent one-horned lizard, with a personality that is no different from An Kai's.
If it weren't for the fact that this place was too far away from the outer city of Chaos City, Hanks would have thought that this place was raised by An Kai...
Roar!
While Hanks was thinking wildly, the one-horned lizard behind him roared.
There was a condensation of mana elements at the top of the horn. As he ran away desperately, Hanks just glanced at it and quickly shouted: "Get out of the way!"
As soon as he finished speaking, five-meter-long earth thorns suddenly emerged from the ground!
Poof! Poof! Poof!
In the blink of an eye, three people who were unable to react were impaled.
At this point, Hanks' team is down to the last eight people.
He and Reed formed a team of four, plus three first-order ninth-level professionals.
The reason why the Reed quartet has been able to stay alive is partly because Hanks took care of them, and partly because the four of them trusted each other unconditionally and supported each other until today.
"A monster with magical power!"
Hanks yelled desperately.
Warcraft is also divided into two categories: those with magical power and those without magic.
At low levels, no changes can be seen.
But when it reaches the level of the one-horned lizard, it possesses magical power, and its combat power is greatly increased!
Hanks panicked. He had not seen Widow Wang for more than a month, and he had not yet had time to tell Widow Wang the good news that she would be able to make money just by lying down...
"Is this really the end?"
At this time, the horn on the forehead of the horned lizard behind him lit up again, and its body had stopped running. Perhaps it was tired of being unable to catch up with Hanks and the others...
The mana elements condensed, and three meters around the horned lizard, earthy brown mana elements were densely covered...
"It's over!"
Hanks was stunned. He knew that this was the all-out gesture of the one-horned lizard...
When the four Reeds saw this, they did not stop. They gritted their teeth and did not look back to see the status of the horned lizard.
The three of them carried an injured soldier together, and their legs felt like lead when they ran.
"Put me down!"
"shut your mouth!"
The soldier being carried just roared angrily, and was shouted back by Reed without looking back.
They knew they could die this time.
But when death comes, waiting for death is not their style.
They chose to fight desperately at the last moment of their lives...
At this time, the four people seemed to be in the same mind, with only one thought: "Run! Run hard!"
Hanks, unlike the Reed quartet, learned he couldn't run away.
He stopped.
Take out your own knife
Bone Knife straightened his spine, looked at the horned lizard with a joking expression in his eyes, and shouted coldly: "You bastard! I'm laughing at you!"
He suddenly raised the bone chopping knife and launched the final attack on the horned lizard...
At this moment!
Hanks' footsteps suddenly stopped!
Just because there was a huge dark brown thing in front of him... It must have been a wind blade, it passed by instantly!
In the blink of an eye, it cuts into the horned lizard!
The horned lizard was stunned by this spell, and blood seeped out of its surface armor...
The dark brown wind blade collided with its surface, making bursts of harsh sounds.
Just when the one-horned lizard thought it could block it, waves of tingling pain came from the surface of its body!
The horned lizard's last consciousness was to look up at the sky. It saw huge black-brown wind blades one after another, silently attacking towards it...
Poof!
The one-horned lizard was cut in half by the wind blade technique, and the subsequent wind blade technique cut the bisected one-horned lizard into even pieces of meat...
Scattered all over the place…
Hanks breathed a sigh of relief and looked back.
I happened to see An Kai walking out of a burst of gray aura, and the fifth-level [Assassin] Malcolm who was always expressionless, but his eyelids were twitching slightly...
"Why are you dazed? Bring me the magic core."
"How come you still have Alzheimer's after you go out?"
More than 50 meters away, An Kai commanded Hanks who had just been reborn...
Hanks suddenly smiled: "That's right! Master Mage taught you right."
An Kai waved his hand slightly, signaling Hanks to go to work quickly.
Then the [Freezing Technique] tool appeared on a chair and sat on it comfortably.
Behind him, the corners of Malcolm's mouth twitched, as if there were thousands of words in his heart that he wanted to say.
"Can this *** be the first level and the first level?!"
At the same time, he was also a little confused. Just before An Kai took action, he seemed to feel another wave?
It's just that the fluctuation is so weak that it's like it doesn't exist...
In addition, An Kai just said that Hanks has Alzheimer's disease, and he couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Am I just too sensitive?"
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After all, this was not the first time that Malcolm had experienced this kind of thing. He often encountered this kind of thing.
Not to mention anything else, in the outer city of Chaos City, sometimes there were more. On average, he could sense such small and powerful fluctuations two or three times a day.
When he sensed it for the first time, Malcolm asked An Kai.
The two were quite nervous about this, and after studying for a long time, they finally confirmed one thing. This was the sequelae of Malcolm's murder.
If he kills too many people, he will always mistakenly think that others want to kill him too.
Otherwise, on the day when Malcolm had the most, he could have sensed this fluctuation more than a dozen times. There couldn't really be a fifth-level powerhouse deliberately teasing Malcolm, right?
Shaking his head slightly, Malcolm thought to himself that he should take some time to ask His Highness how to solve the sequelae of his murder...
"Fourth level, fourth level, why are you so weak?"
At this time, Malcolm heard An Kai complaining in front of him.
He opened his mouth again and again, but did not speak.
"Is it the fourth level of weakness?! You are too perverted!"
…
Not long after, Hanks took the fourth-level and fourth-level magic core and trotted all the way to Ankai's side.
First, he saw Malcolm carrying a backpack, which made Hanks' expression freeze...
"Made! Following Ankai, you can learn this pretense very quickly!"
He muttered something in his heart, but there was a smile on his face.
Looking at Malcolm, Hanks said from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you for your help in the Bucklin Principality!"
In this way, Hanks is instructing Ankai, which means that you only send people to protect me to the Bucklin Principality, and I already know it.
And Hanks said it bluntly in order to add merit to his trade with the seven countries this time.
It means: Look, I have completed the seven-nation trade without anyone to protect me. How difficult it is for me!
But after he spoke, Malcolm was stunned...
Why is the Principality of Bucklin taking action? Why can't he understand...
Ice Cube Face, for the first time, had other changes due to reasons other than Ankai.
Although Milken was surprised, Ankai was very experienced.
Although he was confused in his heart, he did not show it. Instead, he nodded in recognition without hesitation: "Okay, you both have merit, and I won't treat you badly."
"Let's go back to the city first. We'll talk about anything tomorrow."
After taking care of everything, Ankai stood up and walked towards the outer city of Chaos City. Behind him were the confused Malcolm and the surviving Hanks...
A group of people walked in the hot desert.
Hanks inadvertently asked in a low voice: "Sir, what kind of spell did you just do?"
"Wind Blade Technique? What's wrong?"
Hanks was silent. Although he was not a mage, he still knew the wind blade technique!
Sure enough, it's still the familiar An Kai...
Not a word of truth came out of his mouth!
