"What we are going to challenge this time is a world-class boss."

The paladin pondered, his eyes scanning the faces of the members in front of him...

As the owner of titles such as "The No. 1 Paladin of the League", "The No. 1 Rich and Handsome", "The No. 1 Scum of the League", etc., Abu Gaohe has never been afraid of any challenges from the outside world.

Of course, for a Paladin, life is definitely not something to be abandoned... In fact, Gao He's confidence is not just from his own strong strength. Similarly, as long as he wants to escape, I believe that no one on this Azerothic continent can stop him - except the hotel owner.

It is precisely because of this that he, now in the Moonlight Woodland, dares to face the terrible enemy, an existence that can be traced back to the beginning of the existence of the continent of Azeroth.

New Year beast.

************

The moonlight forest is a mysterious land. This mysterious forest is surrounded by towering peaks on all sides and few people have been able to enter it. One of the only two paths, Mount Hygar turned into a barren land in the previous battle of the incineration legion, and was imprisoned due to the power of the self-healing of the World Tree, and no one can enter it.

Another pathway requires you to cross the crisis-ridden Ferwood Forest, break through the guard of the wooden-throated bear monster, and pass through the caves and fortresses dug out by the bear monsters on the mountain walls before you can enter this mysterious place.

Although it was so difficult to get here, Gaohe still came.

After the last time the Malaton dunge ended, Zalta, the soul of the Jungle Guardian, gave him a seed of life and asked him to hand it over to his brother Remlos in the Moonlight Woodland. At that time, due to the low level and the lack of demand for the mission reward, Gao He did not go immediately.

It is not a solution to always put the task items in your luggage, and Gao He also feels that it seems a bit unauthorized to give up the task and destroy the props. After all, he has maintained a good relationship with the elves. At least the reputation of the Senario Council is that it is necessary to brush it.

It happened that at this time, the Spring Festival came in the game.

Well... Of course, in fact, according to the development of the storyline, the real world is still a hot season when the summer solstice has not arrived. For Gao He, such a season is just right for him to eat tofu and start a hot love affair.

So what we are talking about here is actually an ancient festival on the Azerothic continent. After all, generally speaking, this kind of virtual reality game will have surreal technology like "Although only one day has passed in reality, but a long time has passed in the game". Since this is the case... the difference in the two worlds' festivals is actually the correct setting!

In the real world, because this once-existing festival of the same name is usually too close to another large festival called "Torch Festival", it is eventually assimilated without realizing it, and inexplicably becomes a strange festival where everyone will happily set off fireworks and ignite fire to eat dumplings and burn straights to death on this day.

However, it is obvious that this traditional custom is still preserved on the continent of Azeroth, and the way of celebration is similar to that in reality - everyone raises bonfires, cooks dumplings, sets off fireworks... The magicians of the ffff group are slaughtering straight trumpets around the world to commemorate the great ones. It is said that the ancestor of the wizard, Billy Dan, who is now in a distant time and space.

Of course, during the period during the Spring Festival, there are also many collection tasks used to kill players' time and a lot of achievements - at least Gao He knew that a facial paralyzed girl named Jiujiuba was recently rushing around the world to collect a strange prop called "Ancestor Coin".

Now, the powerful existence that Gaohe wants to face and challenge directly, the world-class super-ranked boss "Nian Beast" is also related to an achievement in the New Year.

Well... Gao He has always been indecent for achieving such things. However, the stronger the man, the more he has to face the difficulties that often appear around him. These difficulties do not come from the enemy outside, but from the internal one...

"That's it. If it were Abu, you would definitely have a way to help us, right?"

The swordsman named Nangong Coyote, who worked in the Maraton dungeon, did not have the calm and freehand smile on his face at this time, but the half-cluttered three-point nervousness and six-fifth expectation.

This kind of look is probably similar to the little animals waiting to be fed.

I was originally planning to use the teleportation scroll to Moonlight Forest to deliver the mission during the Spring Festival and rent a flying mount and leave, but unexpectedly met Nangong Coyote here. For Gao He, I don’t know whether this encounter is lucky or unfortunate.

"If you get this done, I will leave my sister-in-law's affairs to me!"

Gao He really wanted to know if at this time he said the man in front of him who was patting his chest as a guarantee, "Actually, I prefer to be honest with a wife", would the other party agree to it if he got angry for a moment.

If the request of Nangong Coyote is not enough, then the other person's words can be regarded as the fuse for Gao He to participate in this boss attack.

"You are the No. 1 Paladin Abu? I heard Bilibili mention your name."

Nangong Coyote was not here alone. There were several other male players who were no worse than him at all. They were even able to go along with Gaohe and had the same excellent equipment on them.

The one who speaks now should be the one with the higher status. Moreover, unlike most players, this player does not hide his character name and guild name. Gao Kawa can easily see the name and guild that he was holding on his hedgehog's head.

Shangguan Dangma: Level 53 Orc Shaman .

When he realized Gao He's gaze, the player, whose name was exactly the same as Nangong Coyote, raised the corner of his mouth slightly and extended his right hand to Gao He.

"I will introduce myself. I am Shangguan Dangma, the president of the Guild. Bilibili and others have thanked you for your care before. I would like to express my gratitude here."

"ah……"

Although according to the gentleman's etiquette, you should reach out and shake hands with the other party at this time, thinking about the president's past deeds, Gao He couldn't help but think of the idea that "if he holds that hand, something strange might happen."

"Looking for a long time."

Finally, he could only nod and then look at Nangong Coyote's face in embarrassment.

It is slightly different from the general situation of "I say I am long but I don't know the other person's name at all", Gao He's words "Jiuyang" are sincere.

President Shangguan Dangma is also one of the strong men who have been in the game world for a long time. He has countless capable people under his command and is even more powerful.

His biggest hobby is probably shaking hands with others and hitting others in the face with his fists.

"Ah... I should be proud of this for a while because the First Paladin Abu said for a long time, right? Ha!"

Unlike in imagination, President Shangguan Dangma has a very cheerful personality. He did not show any displeasure because of Gao He's actions. Instead, he patted Gao He's shoulders with his outstretched hand, smashing his shoulder armor creaking.

only……

In the past, I would never choose to use the Blue Bar profession. Shangguan Dangma, who advocated violence and fists, was enough to defeat everything. This time he actually chose the orc shaman?

This is unscientific!

While Gao He was secretly complaining in his heart, Shangguan Dangma and Nangong Coolang, who had finished the greeting, also made the previous request to Gao He again-

Please help us defeat the New Year beasts in this moonlight woodland lake!

***************

Although the incident may seem a bit simple, Gao He finally accepted the request of Nangong Coolang and Shangguan Dangma and agreed to lead their subordinates to attack the Nian Beast as the leader. It is an indisputable fact.

Fortunately, most of the team members brought by the two were the ones Gao He knew. Although the number of people was smaller, it did not make Gao He feel like he was restrained in command.

As a defender, he was the "Take Not Lily" who had fought side by side in Audman. Until now, Gao He didn't know very well whether this girl was an orthodox swordsman. Logically speaking, only the swordsmen of the undead and the shaman of the orcs can equip shields on the tribe. However, Yuriko's usual state is somewhat similar to Xia Lu, who chose an alternative branch and obtained special talents.

"Is it you... I finally got a not that weak one."

When he learned that the commander was Gao He, the girl's expressionless face showed a little satisfaction, and the corners of her mouth raised in a strange curve. After looking at him meaningfully, she gave such an evaluation.

Well...well, Gao He feels that being rated as "not so weak" by this girl who regards most people as "weak" is already a very worthy thing to boast about.

In addition to Yuriko, he naturally also has the treatment she seems to be not dealing with for some reasons. The priest "Sphinx" and the magician "Sunspot" also participated in this battle as an exporter.

Since these people are all here, it is naturally impossible for another person not to appear.

"It's you again?"

The huge and translucent wolf head leaned against Gao He for a moment and then sniffed with dissatisfaction.

"Why should this outsider come to command us?"

If it weren't for riding...ah, Gao He meant that if the expression that the ghost wolf showed in an instant was surprisingly similar to that of a young woman, Gao He probably wouldn't have recognized this discharge girl as soon as possible.

"Bilibili, you haven't worked with Abu before..."

"I said don't call me Bilibili!"

“…”

As the president, the majesty was almost completely in vain at this moment. For this, Dangma could only show a helpless smile to Gaohe.

"That's how she is...but at least in terms of strength, there are not many people in the guild who can compete with her."

Gao He is not clear about this, but Gao He is clear about this girl's temper can definitely be among the top three among the girls he knows.

The swordsman "Seven Flashes" who had fought side by side last time had been sent to the boss as a scout to refresh the area to monitor the situation. In addition, Shangguan Dangma, the president of the guild, would also participate in the battle.

Compared with the lineup dispatched by the Guild, the lineup of Nangong Coyote made Gao He very complain.

"Four Paladins?!"

"That's right."

Nangong Coyote waved his hand, and four paladins wearing armors of different colors lined up and stood in front of Gao He in unison.

"Um...wait..."

Gao He's eyes seemed to have hallucinations.

Before, he did not pay attention to the "bodyguard" around Nangong Coolwon and did not realize that when the four of them stood in front of Gao He, Gao He noticed one thing.

"…that...is Artoria?"

He pointed at it, wearing the same armor as when he met last time, and the blond girl with a stubborn hair standing above his head, asking the coyote.

"Ah... Artoria, I must have spoken to Mr. Abu last time, right?"

“Yes, master

.”

The girl's answer was simple and straightforward. Because of this, Gaowa became even more confused.

"Then... are these...?"

"It's also my bodyguard."

Nangong Coyote's answer made Gao He very urge to beat him up.

It’s not that Gao He lost his judgment because the other party’s four paladins are all cute girls, but because... although they are foreigners, no matter how you look at it, except for the different colors of the armor on their bodies, the faces of these four girls are exactly the same!

What kind of wealth is that I can hire such a beautiful quadplus girl to play games all the time?! If I didn’t know clearly that the coyote is married and would not do anything strange...

"Wait, Coyotes, these are really just your bodyguards?"

"Ah... Of course, you don't know Rin's character..."

Realizing the meaning of Gao He's words, the coyote shrugged helplessly, and then enthusiastically introduced him to him.
