A wisp of smoke rose from the messy stone path, flew all the way into the sky, and disappeared without a trace halfway. The smoke was caused by An Rui and his party. They were gathering together to barbecue the game they had just hunted. This was their lunch. The game being grilled on the fire was crabmeat. Of course, this was no ordinary crabmeat. This place was far away from the sea, so there could be no crabs. This is actually the meat of a stone crab. The stone crab is a monster with a body length of up to one yard, a shape similar to a crab, and a crab shell that is exactly the same as a stone. Stone-dwelling crabs have extremely strong defenses and like to lie on rocks, disguise themselves as rocks, and sneak attack passers-by. Although the shell of the Shiju Crab is hard, when you open the shell, the crab meat inside is very fresh and tender. It is very delicious after being grilled, and it is even more delicious after being topped with seasonings. Anrui ate very happily, his mouth full of greasy food. They suffered a lot when they fought against the stone-dwelling crabs, but now it seems that the battle just now was worth it. They and their group have left Tiepao Port for two days, and are now on their way to the habitat of the Thunder Demon Tree to get their hands on the Thunder Demon Tree. In fact, the purpose of this trip was not only to obtain the Thunder Demonic Tree, but also to avoid the limelight. Now the Iron Cannon Port was full of turmoil. Berent was angered by what happened that night and offered a very high bounty. The bearded guy "Ender" needs to be arrested. Whoever provides accurate information about "Ender" can get a reward of fifty gold coins, and whoever can catch "Ender" can get a reward of two hundred gold coins. This price is enough to make many poor people excited, and hundreds of people are asking for information about "Ender", although this is completely useless. There is no "Ender" in the world, or that short-lived "Ender" has disappeared, and no one can find it except a few insiders. Among Anrui¡¯s group, neither he nor Shafei revealed their appearance. Even if they were walking on the street, they would have no worries. Only Berego was in trouble, and Berrent recognized his face. Fortunately, Berego was just one of the many escaped slaves, and Berrent did not put a reward on Berego. Generally speaking, they are still dormant in the dark and maintain this advantage, so there is no need to worry too much. After finishing the fragrant crab meat, Anrui wiped his mouth and looked around at the two companions around him. When he saw Shafi, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind. When he fights with others, he can gain experience points and quickly improve his strength. The stronger you fight against, the more experience points you will gain. Even if you lose, you will also gain experience points. In this case, why not discuss it with Sophie? Sophie is a level 10 warrior. If you fight with her, you will gain considerable experience points regardless of victory or defeat. After establishing an enemy like Berent, Anrui needs to improve his strength as soon as possible. He was lucky enough to save a life last time, but he may not have such luck next time. When he met Sharod again, he hoped that he would have the strength to defeat him instead of being beaten into a mess. "Sophie, I just ate a little too much and my stomach was a little bloated. Let's discuss it and help me digest the food. What do you think?" An Rui asked with a smile. "Your injuries haven't healed yet. You just went through another battle. It's better not to do strenuous activities now." Sophie declined politely. "That's right. Your injuries are not much worse than mine, so you'd better stop moving." Berego on the side also echoed. He is doing much better now than he did two days ago. All the wounds all over his body have been properly treated, and he has a new set of bows and arrows on his back. "Don't worry. I have my own sense of caution. I just need to move a little bit later. Don't come with me seriously." An Rui stood up and put his hand on the hilt of the sword. "But" Sophie was still a little worried. Anrui spent a lot of time talking, and finally even revealed his identity as the captain, and then convinced Shafei. The two of them stayed away from the fire where the food was being grilled, and each drew their weapons. Shafi used a scimitar, and Anrui used a long sword. The long sword that An Rui used before has been cut off by Sharod. The long sword he is holding now is a newly purchased one. Like the previous long sword, it is also a black iron-level long sword. He has a lot of money. "Okay, let's get started." An Rui flipped his wrist, causing the long sword to shake out a ball of dazzling sword flowers. Sophie nodded, but did not rush to attack. Instead, she stopped where she was, waiting for Anrui to take the initiative to attack. She was afraid of accidentally hurting An Rui, so passive defense was obviously the safest choice. Anrui noticed Shafei's thoughts and decided to comply with the other party's wishes and take the initiative to attack. He took two steps forward, his eyes flashed, and he launched a straight slash forward, and a white light took shape along with his movements. ?Shafei dodged and easily avoided this move, then launched a tentative counterattack and slashed at Anrui's abdomen. There is nothing on the blade, and no strength is exerted on it. Anrui blocked with his sword, and the swords collided, causing little sparks from the friction. The two of them fought back and forth for more than a dozen rounds. It seemed intense, but in fact it was very safe and there was no danger. Anrui¡¯s old injury has not healed yet. The wound aches with movement, and beads of sweat appear on his forehead. He thought the fire was almost done, shouted "stop" and jumped out of the circle. He waited expectantly for the beep to sound, but after waiting for a few seconds, his mind was still quiet and there was nothing. This means that the system does not recognize the discussion just now. "Damn it." An Rui shook his head in disappointment, all the sweat just now was in vain. He didn't know what the problem was, why he had experience in previous battles but not the battle he arranged. There is probably some kind of judgment or some underlying rule in the system. It seems that this method of improving strength is not feasible, so I¡¯d better give up this idea in the future. After this page was turned over, An Rui and his party got on the road again, following this winding road covered with stones, towards the habitat of the Thundering Demonic Tree. This road is not smooth. There are many stone-dwelling crabs. If you are not careful, you may be attacked by sneak attacks. The giant crab claws of the stone-dwelling crab are no joke. Once the prey is caught, it will not let go until death. In order to prevent sneak attacks, An Rui and his party walked very carefully. Whenever they encountered a stone that was suspected of being a stone-dwelling crab, they would pick up a big stone and throw it over to test it. This greatly slows down their progress, and often they can only walk a short distance in a whole day. Fortunately, they are not in a hurry now. Anyway, Anrui and Berego are injured, so if they walk slower, they should just recuperate from their injuries. Time passed like this day by day, and when the dawn of the seventh day fell on the earth, An Rui and his party finally arrived at their destination-Yinlei Mountain. This mountain peak is the highest in this area, standing proudly between heaven and earth like a bird among the flock. The vegetation on the mountains is sparse, but more abundant than on the roads between valleys. Because of the activities of the thundering demon tree on the mountain, whenever there is a thunderstorm, a large amount of thunder and lightning will be attracted to the mountain, so it is named Thunder Mountain. Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking towards the mountain, you can vaguely see a tall shadow moving slowly in the woods. You don't need to guess, it is the Thunder Demon Tree. Fortunately, the sky is clear now, not to mention thunderstorms, not even a single dark cloud. This kind of weather is very suitable for fighting the thundering demon tree. If you fight the thundering demon tree on a thunderstorm or cloudy day, you will have to be split into black charcoal by lightning. "Are you two okay with your injuries? Do you want to rest at the foot of the mountain for two more days?" Sophie turned her head and looked at the bodies of Anrui and the elf archer, and asked with concern. "I'm fine, the wound is almost healed." An Rui shrugged indifferently, then turned to look at Berego, "What about you?" "I'm fine too." Berego turned the black man behind his back He grabbed the birch bow and pulled the bowstring made of leather. As he moved, the curvature of the bow arm increased, and the bowstring made a clicking sound. "Very good." An Rui nodded. With the combat power of the three of them, plus the help of the anti-thunder fruit, it was enough to take care of a thunder demon tree. This battle is 100% certain. He took out the anti-thunder fruit from the package and gave it to two companions, one each. Having made all preparations, the three of them began to head towards the mountain, looking for the Thunder Demonic Tree that they could attack. When they were halfway up the mountain, a noisy roar suddenly sounded and reached the ears of the three of them. The three of them looked at each other and stopped in unison. "Although the Thunder Demon Tree can walk around, it doesn't roar. The roar should be made by other monsters or beasts." An Rui frowned. He vaguely felt that something seemed to have changed slightly. "Can you two identify what kind of monster's roar this is?" Sophie asked. As soon as she finished speaking, there was another roar. An Rui felt vaguely that the roar was familiar, but he was not sure. He could identify most monsters based on their appearance, but the roar alone was not enough. "You two wait here while I go explore the way." Berego volunteered. "Are you going alone?" Sophie's voice was filled with a hint of surprise. "Yes, I can do it alone. Don't forget that the elves are the children of the forest. We are very good at moving in the forest. For the elves, this is a back garden." Berego said proudly. "Berego is right, let him explore the road. This task suits him very well."?An Rui agreed. Now Sophie had no objection and nodded. Holding a bow and arrow in his hand, Berego bent his slender waist and walked toward the direction of the roar, his steps fast and light. After a while, he disappeared from An Rui's sight. An Rui and the other two were waiting where they were, and time passed very slowly. After about five minutes, maybe a little longer, the two finally waited for Berego to come back. When Berego came back, he was faster than when he started, and his face looked a little strange, as if he was avoiding something. "How was it? What did you see?" An Rui asked in a low voice. "Dragon." Berego's throat moved and he struggled to give the answer, "I saw a dragon over there."
