Chapter 98: Entering Collins
I saw a huge forest in front of me, endless, and I couldn't see where the border was. The vast territory around was occupied by dense forests, and the lush trees were full of clear green.
"It's really big." Seeing this scene, Rhode couldn't help but sigh secretly.
The members of the two mercenary teams who had come to the Collins Forest with him were now walking towards the forest in different directions.
Rhodes were left alone, quietly, and had not taken action. He took out the manual and map and observed it for a while and chose the direction he wanted to move forward, left front, because according to the description, it seemed that the whereabouts of the storm leopard appeared there, and the task was completed in the shortest time.
Following the instructions on the map, Rhodes entered the forest in a short time.
As soon as I entered the forest, I felt the light dim. The dense forest blocked most of the light. When I looked up, I saw some light scattering in, illuminating the dark forest, showing a little wet scene.
In the winter forest, although there are few fallen leaves in these trees, they still leave dead leaves on the ground. When people step on it, they immediately go down one footprint. The sporadic footprints on the ground also show that there must be people passing by here in the past few days, and there are quite a few people coming in and out.
Walking slowly along the front, I quickly walked a long distance. Unexpectedly, it was not as quiet as I imagined. It was very quiet, and even quiet, which made people a little worried.
It would be better if a monster appeared, but it was even more silence.
The dark dragon twitched carefully and held it tightly in his hand, gently touched the armor he was wearing, took a deep breath, smiled, and continued to move forward.
Watching all directions, listening carefully, and moving forward at any time, guarding against any monsters, but disappointed that after walking for nearly an hour, he did not encounter any abnormal situation. Everything was quiet and terrible, and everything went smoothly.
"Can't go in anymore." Looking at the map, looking back at the journey I've walked, there is no entrance behind me. After an hour of progress, although it's very slow, I still let myself go deep into the interior. According to the map, the front should be in the middle and outer areas. Most of the levels of the monsters inside are above and below the silver strength. Now I am not suitable to enter. The possibility of the storm leopard inside is pitifully small. I made up my mind to start moving horizontally in the direction next to me, pay close attention to the surrounding scenery and situation and prepare for adapting to the situation.
……………………………………
Shortly after Rhode began to move sideways, his eyes were already staring at him in the dark, and slowly followed him in the dark. There was a little bloody sound in the eyes, and a slight whistle sound was heard, very small, and it could only be heard by itself.
"It seems that there is no harvest this morning." Looking at the sky outside through the dense leaves, it was already noon. I could see the sun hanging in the sky from the gap between the leaves. I sighed and sat there, took out dry food and water, and prepared to start lunch. When my mental strength was extremely tense, my energy was consumed unexpectedly.
However, before he could put the food into his mouth, Rhode's face changed, he hurriedly put the food away, held the dark dragon tightly and stood suddenly, watching around nervously.
Just now, he heard a slight roar, the roar of a wild beast. Yes, it is absolutely impossible. There must be monsters around him, and he should have been eyeing him.
Taking steps, he began to move around in small steps, his eyes drifting around and observing. Suddenly, a loud roar came, and then he saw a huge black shadow pounced towards him.
Before he could see the situation clearly and the enemy, he quickly dodged and rolled to the side in a mess to avoid the raid of the black shadow. A cool breeze blew past his face, causing Rhode to breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's finally here." With a light shout, looking at the huge black panther that was rushing towards him again, Rhode raised his sword to meet him.
Black Panther, a bronze-level physical monster, is known for its speed and strength, and has a great attack power. If he had just been pounced on him, he would have been lying on the ground at this moment. I saw that this black panther should be an adult monster, about one meter five in height, two meters long, dark hair, and two fangs stretched out long. A trace of crystal saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth was drooping and dripping, obviously treating himself as a delicious food.
He sighed in his heart and swept across the sword. After forcing the Black Panther to retreat, he suddenly exerted force. He stepped forward, held the sword in one hand, stared at the Black Panther and launched a fierce attack. Although it was the simplest move, it also burst out with considerable power under the continuous flowing clouds and water, allowing the Black Panther to dodge left and right and only care about defense.
One person and one leopard launched a thrilling battle in this forest. There were no gorgeous moves, only the simplest and most realistic attack methods. The black panther's hard claws and sharp fangs, and the dark dragon in Rhode's hand, flashed from time to time during the fierce collision, were particularly dazzling.
I don't know if it will catch fire, but watching the sparks that pop up from time to time in such a fierce battle, Rhodes can even have this stupid idea.
Touch... At that time of divine demise, the Black Panther's speed was at its peak, feeling the strength of the enemy, and feeling his life was threatened. The Black Panther began to fight back like a beast, and his body collided, and his claws and fangs did not fall. All of them came in handy and began to attack from time to time during defense.
"Bastard." With a secret curse, the good situation disappeared in an instant. Rhode couldn't help but sigh in regret. He was able to get out of his mind during the battle. If he said it, it would probably make people laugh.
Fortunately, this black panther is only at most the primary level of bronze, and there is still some gap with him. In addition, the IQ of the Warcraft is already low and the gap seen with humans, Rhodes can handle it relatively easily and smoothly. Without encountering any dangerous scenes, he suppressed the opponent's offensive and launched a counterattack again.
"Hmph, it seems that you can still avoid it." A series of attacks but failed were all dodged, which made Rhode snort coldly, and the fighting spirit exploded again. The dark dragon made a buzzing sound. The dark black light flashed between the sword edges. The shadowless sword burst out in an instant, and it was divided into two, two into four, four into eight, and eight sounds rushed from different directions.
Puchi... Just when the black panther had no time to react, there was a flash of dark light. Rhode's voice swept across the black panther like a ray of light and paused behind it.
Holding the sword in one hand hangs beside him, a drop of blood slid down from the sword edge of the Dark Dragon.
Then a low roar came, and the black panther burst to the end, waiting for unwilling eyes to stare at the human in front of him, struggling in pain, and whining, the ground under him was already dyed red by bright red blood.
The scary scar on the back from beginning to end penetrated through the bottom, and a huge hole was directly bloomed. The black hair was dyed red, and the flesh inside turned outward, revealing the scarlet bones dyed red by blood.
The spine was cut off and it was unable to fight back or escape. After following this man for so long, he found an opportunity to attack, but he didn't expect that such a result would be the end. With the unwilling roar, his eyes gradually closed and disappeared.
"It's okay." Fortunately, the monster I encountered for the first time was not strong, so I hurriedly stepped forward and took out the dagger I bought and started to clean up the battle results. I scraped off the black panther's skin and cleaned it up without caring about the bloody smell and bloody appearance. I earned it into the bag I bought, and took it away with fangs and claws. Although these things were not very valuable, they were relatively the only valuable things that Black Panther had. It was estimated that selling five or six gold coins would not be a problem.
After packing up, I didn't bother to breathe and quickly left this hateful place. The smell of blood here could easily attract the surrounding monsters. If a powerful or a group of monsters comes, it would be troublesome, so I must evacuate as soon as possible. This is also the key to the survival of the mercenaries.
Continue moving forward, and walk more and more, leaning on the left part of the Collins Forest, I solved my stomach while walking. Until the evening, I didn’t encounter the wind leopard that I needed. I was considered as safe. I only encountered three advanced monsters along the way, all of which were not threatening. I easily solved it without any effort. I cleaned up the results. I saw that the package had been loaded with one-third of the results. I was quite satisfied with such a score. The only regret was that I had been wasting one day and I didn’t meet what I needed. Fortunately, I had plenty of time and had four days to allow myself to solve these tasks.
Looking at the sky, after a while of hesitation, he began to find where to stay today. Logically speaking, more than 98% of the mercenaries would not choose to spend the night in the Collins Forest. Night time is also the most dangerous time here. The degree of danger has increased by a factor of a factor of twice as much as the daytime. However, Rhodes did not plan to go back. He needed to practice and breakthrough. He would not give up any opportunity to exercise, at least for himself, any time here is a good time to exercise.
Finally, before dark, he found a place to live. After three big trees and branches were connected together, a natural bed formed, hung in mid-air, nearly five meters above the ground, which was still an ideal resting place. He lit a bonfire and roasted some meat to fill his stomach. After he had no intention of moving forward, he simply came to the top to start practicing and recovering from the energy he spent today. However, he did not know that dangers were everywhere and everywhere in the Collins Forest. Rhode, who lacked experience, did not know that his actions and his unprepared mentality brought new dangers to him.
