"It's actually a combat priest and a magic bead casting spells, interesting." Pannis walked on the edge of the umbrella cover, flexibly dodged every monster that rushed over, but his eyes stared at the girls' battle, and finally condensed on Catherine: "And, it's actually a guardian knight, haha."

"Mr. Pannis." Katherine, who was already at ease, saw Pannis wandering around the outermost area and shouted a little nervously: "Come here quickly, it's more convenient to support each other here."

"Well, it's okay." Panis did not approach the positions of the three girls, but then jumped a few steps and jumped to the umbrella of another mushroom: "I have the ability to protect myself. I won't participate in your Golden Level Battle. I just heard it. There are only more than 900 rock wall beasts in it, with only a dozen silver level ones inside, and the others are bronze level ones. Be careful, there will be no problem."

"Okay, be careful." Seeing the crystal light representing Panis constantly jumping on the umbrella cover next to it, it was indeed as dangerous as he said, so he let go of his worries and focused his attention on the battle in front of him.

Rock-Wall beasts are ordinary bronze-grade monsters, which are plant-eating and usually live on cliffs in the mountains, and make a living by eating moss and vines on cliffs. Their movement on cliffs is mostly jumping. The sharp claws can make them run smoothly on cliffs, and their strong limbs make their jumps very impactful. The horizontal distance of one jump can exceed thirty meters. Rock-Wall beasts are mostly in groups, with extremely timid personality, and rarely take the initiative to approach other creatures, but when they are

When attacked, it will become extremely fierce. It would rather die out in the entire community than kill the attacker. This characteristic makes all the carnivorous monsters unwilling to provoke. When the rock wall beast is polluted by the demonized energy, it will be transformed into a demonized rock wall beast, inheriting all the characteristics of the rock wall beast, and is one of the few planted monsters. In the eyes of veterans who are experiencing cave adventures, the demonized rock wall beast is a harmless monster, provided that the traces of the demonized energy are simulated on themselves with camouflage powder.

When the battle was successful, Lina had enough time to retell the text recorded in the monster picture book, it could no longer be called a battle. Perhaps it was called forced massacre more precise. As for when the massacre will end, it depends on the number of monsters left. At this time, Lina's retelling not only made the girls understand the characteristics of the monsters in front of her, but also made Vivian very upset. What was reflected in her behavior was that the ice arrows flying all over the sky became denser.

Panis, who had changed four or five umbrella covers in his position, no longer moved to dodge. Although there were still many monsters around him, monsters attacking him every moment, he lost all the attacks by just twisting his joints and contracting his muscles. His attention was not distributed to the monsters at all. All the dodge was completed entirely by physical instinct. His eyes were completely focused on the girls, his eyes were complicated and difficult to understand, and he didn't know what was muttering in his mouth.

A light suddenly appears.

Countless glittering spores erupted from the top of the mushroom without any warning, illuminating the cave again. There were only about a hundred living rock-wall beasts left. At the moment of eruption, they made a harsh scream and jumped out in all directions, trying to escape these deadly spores. Unfortunately, they were attacking on the umbrella cover too close to the spores and had no chance to escape. As soon as they jumped up, they were swallowed by the sea of ​​spores that were covered in all directions, and each one was covered with countless light spots.

The monsters stained with spores were like crazy, rolling on the umbrella cover, and their limbs were scratching their bodies desperately. The sharp claws tore the skin and muscles on the surface of the body. Black blood spurted out from the wound, and the pungent smell fell on the surface of the mushroom umbrella cover and umbrella handle, but were strangely absorbed by the mushrooms. After a moment, there was no trace of blood again.

As the spores were more and more, the screams of the rock wall beasts became less and less powerful, and finally they slowly stopped rolling. Some slid from the edge of the umbrella cover and fell to the ground, while others became silent directly on the umbrella cover.

Compared with the all-armed rock-wall beasts, the cave apes on the ground are much luckier. They are far away from the mushroom umbrella and turn around and run when the spores are spurted out. Except for some monsters that are too greedy to penetrate the spore carpet on the ground, most of the cave apes survive. As Panis said just now, the frightened cave apes quickly disappeared into the darkness of the cave, and could only hear the terrifying squeaking sounds and panic running sounds gradually fading away until they completely disappeared.

The sudden ending of the battle inexplicably made the girls a little stunned. After three or four seconds, Vivian was the first to lift his alert state. He leaned against the staff and was panting, and muttering: "The meaningless battle is really a meaningless battle. If I had known it, I wouldn't have let that magic be used."

Catherine stared at the corpse in front of her that had scratched her intestines and broken belly, sighing in disbelief: "Is such beautiful spores actually so powerful? Incredible."

"The beauty shown is often false." Panis, who was relaxed, jumped a few times on the umbrella cover and returned to the girls, without even a trace of blood on his clothes. At this moment, he seemed to say with a deep meaning: "The better, the more false it is. There are often fatal dangers hidden under the false."

"Mr. Pennis." Catherine's face became very serious and she said in a serious tone: "Why didn't you come just now?"

"I said it." Panis checked the crystal on his helmet and replied indifferently: "I can protect myself, why should I come here?"

"This is not a question of whether you can protect yourself. Fighting side by side and helping each other is what a team member should do." Catherine pursed her lips and showed a rare anger: "Even if she lacks combat power, it is not a reason to be away from the battle. I hope you can join the battle next time."

Penis was still staring at his helmet and checking it over and over, without hesitation at all: "Sorry, I refuse."

"What? You refuse?" Katherine looked at Panis in surprise: "Why?"

"I only do the work stipulated in my agreement." Panis put on his helmet again, raised his eyes and looked directly at Catherine, and said expressionlessly: "You are hiring explorers, so I only need to do the job of explorers, and there is no obligation to participate in the battle."

"No obligation? Even if your companions are in a tough battle or even in danger of their lives, won't you join the battle?"

"Of course. And I think you got something wrong, Miss Catherine." Panis smiled mockingly, but his eyes drooped down to look at his toes and said softly: "You pay to hire me, I collect money to complete the work, and we have both money and goods. We are not companions, we were not, we are not now, and we will not be in the future."

"Okay, I understand." Catherine sighed long, but the eyes that should have been filled with anger were full of pity. She shook her head and sighed: "Just do what you want, Mr. Pannis. Is it time to set off now? We have been wasting too much time."

"Yeah, it's time to leave." Panis quickly turned around, jumped off the mushrooms in a few steps and returned to the ground. The voice came from below: "The ground is safe and you can get down."

Lina poked Catherine, snickered, and then jumped down. Catherine had no angry or depressed expression on her face, but she was a little helpless, and she carried Vivian back and returned to the ground.

"Mr. Pannis." Catherine seemed to have completely escaped from the shadow of the dispute just now and completely returned to her former tone: "Do you still have time to clean the battlefield?"

"It's better not." Panis closed his eyes, tilted his ears and carefully identified the sounds in the distance, and replied: "It may not necessarily happen at any time that the next wave of monsters will appear, so it's better not to stay in one place for too long."

"That's a pity." Catherine couldn't hide her disappointment and looked at the monster corpse on the ground with a reluctant look: "The claws of the four pairs of demonized rock wall beasts are just one gold coin. At least more than four hundred gold coins are piled here, which is really a pity."

"Let's go, sister." Lina pulled Catherine and left: "I don't care about gold coins or something."

"I care." Cather answered angrily, still keeping moving forward, but asked with his back to Panis: "Mr. Panis, do you remember the first time we met a few days ago?"

"Of course I remember, is there any problem?" Panis asked in a little confusion.

"Do you know why when we first met, we trust you so much and let you take us to this dangerous world with confidence? Although we have already understood your professional abilities, we do not understand your personality. Even so, we still entrust our lives to you. Isn't this a bit hasty decision? Do you know why this is?"

"I don't know." Penis frowned, seemingly impatient: "I don't want to know either."

What Penis couldn't see was the smile on the corner of Catherine's mouth, a sly smile that a knight shouldn't have at all: "Because I don't believe that a person who is awakened by nightmares every day because of his painful memories, a person who constantly tortures himself with pain because of the past, and a person who is depressed by regret, I don't believe that such a person will be a bad person. The most important thing is that even if you want to close yourself and exile yourself, even if you wrap yourself in a shell, you use hiring as an excuse to get rid of the situation of dying. For commissions? Use it all in a few days after you get the commission, and then let yourself be tortured by hunger and cold again. These commissions really make sense to you?"

"What do you know?" Panis stopped and asked indifferently staring at Catherine's back.

"I don't know anything except the news that can be found in the town. But have you never heard of that sentence? 'Studying people's hearts is the talent that the nobles have been engraved in their souls since they were born'. No matter what, I am also from a great noble family, hahaha. Your every move, every word and every action reveals what you think to me." As if in order to revenge on the dispute on the mushroom just now, Catherine let out a series of unrestrained laughter like silver bells: "So I don't have a word of the words you just said! Believe it!"

Listening to Catherine's laughter, Panis's face became more and more gloomy, but he felt someone gently pulling his clothes. He lowered his head and found Vivian standing beside him.

"You're crying."

"What are you crying?" Panis was stunned by the words.

"You are crying." Vivian repeated again, and a mysterious smile that was completely different from her age suddenly appeared on her tender face. She pointed to Panis's chest gently, blinked, and turned around to catch up with Catherine's steps. The mature movements appeared on her young body, making her look indescribable.
