Verse 9: But we are Templars!

No chance!

Needle and Zidi hid near the cave entrance, paying attention to the fighting of the beasts outside the cave.

Throughout the process, the scaled black panther group was busy but not chaotic, firmly surrounding the monkey-tailed brown bear in the center.

Once the boy and girl leave the cave entrance, they will expose themselves to the eyes of these beasts.

If you risk rushing out, the chance of survival is very low. Unless it was a last resort, the two of them would never make such a move.

The more the needle looked at it, the more frightened he became.

In the fight between the two sides, in the end, the scaled black panther was slightly superior, and there were a lot of them.

"Although leopards do not walk alone, they often organize families to survive. So many leopards hunting in groups are simply unprecedented. On this island, not only are the forms of life terrifyingly mutated, but their habits have also changed greatly."

Needle also has speculation about the origin of these scaled and horned panthers.

He remembered that when he was being chased by a swarm of fire poison bees, he was attacked by a mysterious leopard-like beast on the way. In the end, the beast fled in a hurry under the pressure of the fire poison bee swarm.

This beast was likely to be a scaly and horned black panther. After it was defeated, it probably returned to the tribe, contacted other black panthers, and followed the smell of needle gold and purple stems all the way to escape, and finally came here.

"These black panthers are not so much revenge on the fire poison bee swarm, but I'm afraid they are more likely to hunt me and Ziddi."

"In this way, this monkey-tailed brown bear has prevented the disaster for both of us."

Needle was not grateful in his heart.

The monkey-tailed brown bear first drove away the fire poison bee colony, and now fought with the black panther group to fight for the survival of the needle and purple stem.

But if it wins and returns home, it will still attack boys and girls.

All this is just a coincidence.

Roar!

The black panther leader suddenly pounced on the brown bear's back, it opened its mouth wide and bit the brown bear's neck all of a sudden.

The monkey-tailed brown bear was furious and shook its body frantically.

But the leader of the black panther gritted his teeth, and the leopard body was almost thrown out, only biting the brown bear's neck tightly with his teeth.

Brown bears have fat skin and flesh, and for a while they are just bleeding. It stretched out two orangutan-like claws, its sharp nails piercing the scales and piercing deep into the panther leader's body.

The leader of the black panther did not let go, and at the same time, the rest of the black panthers also pounced on them.

One by one, the black panthers pounced on the brown bear's body and crushed the brown bear to the ground.

"Chance!" Seeing this scene, the metal broke immediately, and immediately dragged Ziti out of the hole.

But at this time, the only remaining black panther saw them, and immediately roared and pounced on the two of them. The rest of the heads are also ready to move.

Needle gold and purple stem were forced by this scaly black panther and could only flee back to the cave.

The panther did not chase into the cave because the monkey-tailed brown bear broke out.

Its claws exuded a hot breath, and its sharp and hard nails like black iron turned red, like steel scorching in a furnace.

The brown bear rolled wildly on the ground, shaking off most of the panthers on his body.

Then his two claws were fiercely inserted into the depths of the Black Panther leader's body. In the frantic struggle of the Black Panther leader, large pools of blood gushed out of his mouth and nose.

Whoa!

The next moment, the monkey-tailed brown bear brazenly tore the panther leader in half!

Its claws turned red and emitted a scorching aura, as if steel had been tempered in the furnace and had just been taken out.

The red iron-like claws can easily pierce the scales of the black panther. Under the great power of the brown bear, it becomes a killing weapon!

For a while, nearly ten black panthers were slaughtered, and their corpses were lying on the spot!

The leopard herd collapsed with a bang, and the losses were quite heavy.

Although the monkey-tailed brown bear is the ultimate winner, it is also miserable. Its right eye has been blinded, and its whole body is covered in wounds and blood. Several wounds on the legs, feet and arms are even more visible.

The worst wound, on its neck. This is where the panther leader put his mouth down, the wound was very deep, and it seemed to have bitten through the artery.

Now the wound is constantly gushing out bright red blood.

The monkey-tailed brown bear was so badly damaged that after it repelled the leopard group, it did not make any action to chase and kill, but immediately walked back to the cave.

There was no way, Needle and Purple Flower could only keep retreating.

Injured beasts are often even more terrifying!

Fortunately, the brown bear was seriously injured and did not run, walking back to the cave, not fast.

Boys and girls are forced to go deeper into the cave.

If there is only one path in the cave, then they will eventually meet the brown bear, and they will have to start a fight.

But the wire is not sure.

He originally had a long sword, but it was lost at the campfire. The only sharp weapons on his body now are only two daggers. One is on him, and the other is in Zidi's hand.

The boy and the girl retreated again and again.

For the two of them, the best situation is that there is still a fork in the cave.

However, an unexpected situation occurred.

The monkey-tailed brown bear walked halfway and did not move forward.

It stopped, dug out the ore from the cave wall with its claws, and opened its mouth to swallow it continuously.

It's eating these hot ores!

Needle watched darkly, and his pupils shrank slightly. He was surprised to find that after the monkey-tailed brown bear had swallowed more than a dozen pieces of ore, the wounds on its body gradually stopped bleeding. The brown bear's originally weak and scattered aura gradually stabilized.

Needle understood completely.

"It turns out that these ores are food for monkey-tailed brown bears!"

He had found many claw marks on the cave wall before, thinking it was a monkey-tailed brown bear grinding its claws. Now it seems that it should be the traces left by brown bears digging and eating.

The condition of the monkey-tailed brown bear is rapidly improving.

Needle and Zi Di looked at each other, and both saw that each other's faces became extremely solemn.

They have two options right now.

One is to continue to retreat and look for a fork in the cave to avoid the monkey-tailed brown bear.

The second option is to go to war with the monkey-tailed brown bear. Take advantage of the enemy's illness and kill the enemy!

Both options carry considerable risk.

The first option is to give up the current opportunity and let the monkey-tailed brown bear rest smoothly. Once there was no fork, they still had to fight with the monkey-tailed brown bear.

The second option is to go to war with the Bruins, and the needle is not sure about the outcome. Although it is true that he caught the fighter, if the fork in the cave and he eventually died at the hands of the brown bear, wouldn't it be too unjust?

Zidi suddenly held the needle's hand, she didn't speak, but the purple beautiful eyes already showed her heart - everything was left to the needle!

For a while, Needle was caught in a choice.

it's about the choice of life and death!

The key is that it is not only about his personal life and death, but also about the life of his fiancée Zidi.

The heavy responsibility is on the shoulders of the wire.

Needle Jin's eyes flickered for a while, and soon revealed a resolute light.

He shook Zidi's hand and let go.

He pulled out his dagger and started slowly, quietly approaching the eating monkey-tailed brown bear.

Neither option is certain. There is also no reliable information that can help him make judgments.

So he followed the choice of his nature - he preferred to fight, to try to strangle fate!

Even if he didn't have a long sword in his hand, only a short dagger remained.

It's closer, it's closer.

The distance between the wire and the brown bear kept getting closer.

The brown bear was still eating, perhaps because it had returned to its lair, or perhaps it was in such poor condition after a fierce battle that it seemed to be unaware of the approaching needle.

But at this moment, Needle Gold's face changed suddenly.

A memory emerged from his mind.

"Damn, it's at this critical moment!" Needle cursed weakly in his heart, but could only temporarily immerse himself in the flashing memories.

In an old tavern, the lights were dim and the voices were noisy.

"We have won!"

"Drink this cup to the fullest!"

Needle found himself sitting in a corner, surrounded by knights in shining armor. Of course, he himself was one of them.

The knights had brand new scars on their armor, cloaks, and bodies, but everyone was excited.

It seems to be a post-war celebration banquet.

"Ulla!" Someone cheered, "I don't think there's anything else in this world that can stand in our way as Templars?"

"Looking back now, the battle just now was still very difficult." Some people lamented.

There was also a person stroking the wine glass with his hand, and his tone was afraid: "I almost didn't control the mount."

The Templars' exclamation drew a sneer.

"What kind of hardship is this? Little cubs, you are still too tender." The voice came, attracting the attention of Needle and the rest of the Templars.

It was an old man who spoke out.

He had a gray beard, a strong physique, and a Templar armor on his body, but he was clearly different from the knights around him in the gold and silver carved decorative patterns - more gorgeous and majestic.

The Templars did not say anything to refute, but looked at the old man, all showing a look of awe.

The originally warm and noisy sounds in the tavern quickly decreased until they were gone.

"Commander. Tell us about it, I know that your old man has participated in many battles, such as conquering the Iron Banner Fortress, encircling and suppressing the Blood Knight, and guarding Griffin Cliff. What do you always think is the most difficult battle?" Someone asked.

The old head leader smiled, did not speak, but raised his head and drank the beer in the barrel glass to the limelight.

And just as he put down the wine glass, a Templar beside him brought another full wine glass to him.

The old group leader reached out and held the handle of the wine glass, this time he didn't drink heavily, he just took a small sip, almost drinking all the rich beer foam on the wine glass.

His only remaining one-eyed eye, under the reflection of the fire, showed a look of remembrance.

He said: "The most difficult battle has to be the one six years ago, in the Valley of the Jackal."

"I know, it's the annihilation battle of the Hanshan Knights!" Someone said excitedly.

There were also many people who looked at Jin with sharp eyes.

The old regiment leader nodded and continued: "Yes, it's in the Jackal Valley. Almost all the nobles in the south are treacherous, despicable, and capricious!"

"Our Five Templars have been marching for five days, and after entering the Valley of the Jackals, they were betrayed by our allies. Thousands of Hanshan Knights have besieged us."

"Our Fifth Regiment had just withdrawn from the front line, and after being attacked by the first wave, we were caught off guard and lost 30% of our manpower on the spot, leaving only more than 1,000 people, almost everyone was injured."

"The Knights of the Hanshan launched waves of charges. We barely defended based on the ruined camp."

"The second wave of the offensive was repelled by us, and we lost 300 men."

"After the third wave of attacks, we lost more than 200 people."

"After the fourth wave of attacks, we are only more than eighty people left."

"We have used up all the rage potions, there are no supplies at all, and what's worse is that there is a strong man in the enemy army who is known as the Corruptor. This sorcerer is extremely vicious, and under his spells, our weapons and armor are strongly corroded."

"We were cornered and in a desperate situation, and at this time, the leader of the Hansuki Knights surrendered to us."

"We know that the southern nobles want to capture us, and then we can have an important bargaining chip to negotiate with the Emperor."

"Hey, but he also underestimates us Templars!"

"We discussed for a while and then launched a charge!"

"There are no swords, but we are Templars."

"No armor, but we are Templars."

"There are no horses, but we are Templars."

"There are no supplies, but we Templars."

"No matter how many enemies there are, how strong they are, and how few of us are, we will not surrender."

"Because we are Templars!"
