Throne Steps

Chapter 125 Form a group to fight monsters

In fact, the reason for the slowdown of the team is not a secret.In fact, more than one team was dispatched on this trip. Saenz and others were on the home team, and other teams entered Samir from different entry points before and after the home team.When approaching to cross the mountains, these teams will shrink into a smaller formation, and cross in batches to take care of each other.When all the teams pass through the mountains, they will gather into a unified mercenary group to deal with the situation on the other side of the mountains that Rettia is not familiar with.

Saenz told Lianzu*3 about this at the same time.Wiggins and Dan Lu had never been on such a mission in the wilderness, and they only responded cautiously to show that they knew.However, Lichen still had two stars with him—although Black Swan helped him get them—and was told together with the two, he suddenly felt as if he was really useless in this operation, but it was just a side effect.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Chen became honest.But he can't be dishonest, the team is about to go up the mountain.

The Samuel Mountains almost traverse the western continent, and its highest peak is also the commanding height of the entire continent.However, not only the highest peak, most of the peaks of the Samuel Mountains are covered with snow all year round and the weather is bad.Saenz and others may not have the ability to climb these mountains, but the burdensome trio obviously does not.To be on the safe side, this time the route was chosen to detour to the south of Samir and only cross the shorter foothills.

Autumn, the side peaks, and only climbing from the cols sounds like doing everything possible to reduce the danger, but it is still very dangerous for Wiggins and Danlou.Lichen is not mentioned here because he has been to Beidi and Yanying's garrison anyway, and he has fought a lot there, so he can come and go freely in the cold wind.

There are few wild animals on the mountain, but they must be extremely ferocious.Saenz's team saved enough rations and didn't have to hunt anymore, so everyone gathered together during the entire crossing, just in case.

Before turning over the col, it went smoothly, but only one day after going down the mountain, Saenz's team encountered some troubles.

"The Aiye beast is attacking!"

In the evening, news came from the vigilant guards, and the seven quickly narrowed their formation.The Aiye beast is a beast unique to high mountains. Even without talent, its concealment ability and individual attack power are second to none in the high mountain field.As soon as they chose a place to camp at night, they noticed the changes nearby. Fortunately, the equipment could not be deployed on the mountain, so they did not panic when preparing.

"Attack in the evening...couldn't it have been followed for a day?" Li Chen was carried to Saenz's side to guard, holding a short staff in one hand, "If the opponent is a single soldier... why don't you let me join in?"

"There may be more than one, but at most there will be no more than two." Saenz led Li Chen to the front half of the team, "cast magic, don't melee, if you feel forced, retreat immediately, don't hold back here."

"Yes." Li Chen just came to practice prediction, and never thought that he could face the "local snake".

Saenz stopped talking, just glanced back and forth in the not so dense jungle.His expression still looked a little dazed and puzzled, but the staff in his hand had been tilted quietly, and he said indifferently: "Two feet."

As soon as the words fell, Li Chen's short staff was already pointing in the direction of Saenz's staff.However, in the next moment, there was a roar of "Aw", and a gray-white figure rose up in response, rushing like a gust of wind!

sassy-

Suddenly, a spike of soil sprang up from two feet away, and hit the Aiye beast fiercely!However, the Aiye beast was nimble, and would forcibly dodge when there was any movement on the ground, so even though the soil thorns were violent, it only scratched the fur.

When the two sides are fighting, it is fatal to stop the action for a moment.The Aiye Beast turned around and came back again, Saenz's Frostbolt had arrived, and under its cover, a soldier approached, using his momentum to draw his sword and jump!

With a twist of Ai Ye's animal claws, the front body instantly folded [-] degrees to avoid the edge of the sword, but it couldn't escape the explosive force rushing out along the blade.Fierce fighting spirit slashed at the gray-white flank, and Ai Ye Beast took this blow, but it turned its body around, and the gray-white thick tail took advantage of the momentum and lashed out!

Before the soldier could pull back his weapon, the deadly tail was right in front of him!

In the nick of time, the soldier rolled his head away as soon as he hugged it, and Saenz's soil thorns - sharper and denser than Li Chen's - also chased the leopard's tail and jumped up!

Ai Ye Beast even took two steps back, and jumped onto a big rock before turning around again.The soil thorn melted, it half-buried behind the stone and did not fight back immediately, and the soldiers in the front didn't like to fight, they only grabbed their swords and retreated a few steps, keeping a tight guard on the periphery of the team.

However, this short stagger was only two seconds, and the Aiye beast stretched its neck, and Saenz shouted sharply: "Concentrate!"

Ow—

The Aiye beast doesn't make a loud cry, but it has the frequency to stun opponents. This is its innate ability.Because of this, it can become a tyrant in the snow mountain!

Everyone was concentrating on resisting and staring at the movement of the Aiye beast, and there was a sudden movement on the other side——

Hey!

This sound disrupted the original stun frequency, but made everyone tense up even more.Seven people, three of them have low combat ability, and they are okay against an Aiye beast, if...

The other two guards stood facing the source of the voice, and were about to surround Li Chen, Wiggins, and Dan Lu in the middle, when the owner of the voice appeared from the forest——

Another Aiye beast!

Li Chen was still facing the first Aiye beast, only turning his body slightly sideways: "Snatch the prey?"

Aiye Beast has always fought alone.Both of them look strong and strong, and they don't look like the type who will share the territory.

Saenz stared at the first Aiye beast, and replied: "I can't tell the male from the female."

That is... could it be a family?

"If it's just a coincidence, just get out of their territory." Li Chen muttered, "I'm afraid they came here for 'dinner'..."

While speaking, the first Aiye beast had already stepped on the highest point of the stone, its forelimbs were off the ground, its upper body was lifted up and jumped out quickly; at the same time, the other one also rushed from the forest!

The long knife and the big sword met each other separately, and the cut marks split where the fighting spirit passed, and the continuous emergence of soil thorns also blocked the Aiye beast's advancing route from time to time.The two snow mountain ferocious beasts tried three or four times back and forth, and jumped out of the attacking range of their fighting spirit one after another, and confronted each other.

Li Chen has already turned to the later Aiye Beast.Wiggins is highly talented, but his spellcasting speed cannot keep up with the speed of Aiye Beast. Most of the earth thorns on this side were played by Li Chen to cooperate.

His magic attack power is insufficient, but he is proficient and almost instant.This is why Saenz chose him instead of Wiggins to actually attack when he feinted at the beginning.

"Retreat collectively to the right side of Danlu, get out of the pincer attack, and don't disperse!" Saenz ordered in a low voice, "Follow my attack, the other end is the main defense, kill one by one!"

The three guards responded immediately: "Yes!"

Li Chen's left hand trembled, and several Fang Jing grasped it in the palm of his hand.

Saenz hit the wind blade towards the right front paw of Aiye Beast, and Aiye Beast jumped to the other side, and the direction of everyone's actions opened up.Saenz yelled, "Run!"

Dan Lu pulled Wiggins and ran away, immediately leading the way for those who didn't have time to see where her right hand was.Saenz and the three personal guards turned from a circle to a semicircle to protect the three behind them and retreated a few steps quickly, and the erected Aiye beast took advantage of the momentum and jumped nearly three feet!

The warrior who had previously attacked it turned around and blocked the big sword in front of him. The thick front claws of the Aiye beast slapped the sword hard, and it simply bounced back after pressing hard.Pushed by this force, the soldier took another step back to protect everyone.

During this back-and-forth time, another Aiye beast also slowly pressed forward from the left.

The Aiye beasts are not small in size, and they are almost as tall as Saenz just by touching the ground on all fours. Their physiques have been tempered by the cold highlands.With the right time and place and its own ability, even if there is only one head, it is by no means a fighter that can completely stop it.Now there are only three fighters among the seven. Once the defense is opened, even if Li Chen and Wiggins still have a glimmer of hope of escape, Dan Lu will not be able to get away with it at all.

If there were no three burdens behind, maybe Saenz would be able to tear off one end by himself.But the current situation is all due to his decision, and he will never act rashly on this.

Li Chen was right behind him, and said in a low voice, "Saar..."

The Aiye beast on the left stood still, half a body behind the one on the right, and slightly smaller in stature.

Saenz distracted part of his attention, and when the Aiye beast on the left opened its mouth, its eyes sharpened, and the howling seemed to be interrupted with a wave of its staff: "Concentrate!"

Ow—

The shocking roar was still one step ahead, and the Aiye beast on the right exploded at the same time!Saenz's ice edge shot out almost instantly, but instead of pointing at the wand, it pointed directly at the Aiye beast on the right!

Things of ice and snow are not fatal to beasts in the snow mountain. The Aiye beast only bounced a step to the side and then charged again. The power of the meat claws that were scratched and bruised by the ice edge remained undiminished. The danger of dizziness forcibly raised his sword to meet the enemy.

Whoosh—whoosh!

Three thumb-sized crystals suddenly passed over the warrior, wrapped in a cloud of wind, and smashed towards the Aiye beast.They are really small and transparent, only occasionally reflecting an arc of light in mid-air, and it hits the eyes of the Ai Ye beast.Even if the Aiye beast dared to move forward along the ice edge, it would not care about such a small crystal. However, the crystal was smashed on its forehead and forelimbs, and a thin layer of ice spread out in an instant to freeze the front half of the Aiye beast!

"Water and electricity!" Li Chen said loudly, and smashed the other three square crystals with his backhand to stop the howling of another Aiye beast.However, even if his casting speed is fast, the Aiye beast that was frozen first is about to escape, and it has already been forced in front of the sword according to the previous momentum!

Saenz was faster, as soon as his water wave hit the Aiye beast, it was mixed with electric current. When the wave was over, the Aiye beast was a little slow even if it didn't fall.The warrior took advantage of this to finish accumulating his fighting spirit, grabbed two steps of the big sword and slashed down!

Lichen's water wave from the other end was thrown backhand to the Aiye beast whose howling was interrupted, and the Aiye beast twisted and jumped away to get half of its body, and Wiggins' lightning strike finally hit it.

The long knife of a personal guard slashed down immediately after the lightning!

Saenz quickly shot two ice arrows, sharp and long, directly piercing the two Aiye beasts.

Victory is decided.

The two warriors used long weapons to confirm that the two beasts were dead, and everyone relaxed their tense nerves a little.Saenz looked back at Li Chen, Li Chen smiled at him, and took off the earplugs he had put on at some time.
