"In that case, let's go. You lead the way."

After listening to this, Chief Qiu thought about it and felt that there seemed to be no problem, so he spoke directly.

Charlotte had no objection to Chief Qiu's proposal and nodded in agreement.

"Well, I'm sorry. Although I would like to lead you, my profession doesn't have much combat power, so I'd better not add to your pressure."

Looking at Qiu and Charlotte staring at him, Kai directly rejected Qiu's proposal and explained the reason. Perhaps feeling that the reason was not sufficient, Kai continued.

"Furthermore, there are many suspicious points in this matter. You are not the only ones attacked. A group of priests were also attacked by them before. This incident must be related."

"So, now you guys go and retrieve the swapped secret orb. I'll have to go to the village to get some relevant information."

"Under the current circumstances, it is best for us to act separately."

"Well, you're right. Let's split up then. But before we go, please show us the way."

After hearing this, Chief Qiu thought about it and agreed.

"Of course no problem, you remember the route."

Seeing that Qiu Chief had no objection, Kai stared at him and said. Obviously, Charlotte, who was a little confused, was not in Kai's consideration.

"We are currently at one end of the Snow Frost Slope. Going forward, there will be three intersections. The one on the far right is the way you came. You can ignore the places in the middle. The one on the far left leads to Frostwind Canyon."

"If you just follow this road a short distance, I think you'll encounter the monsters summoned by the monster leader who attacked you yesterday."

"Based on what I saw when I left yesterday, there should only be some Frost Bulldogs and Frost Goblins, which are small monsters that are not very dangerous."

"That's probably all."

Kai pointed to a nearby road and explained the situation to Chief Qiu.

"Okay, then Charlotte and I will set off."

"Sister, let's go."

After saying this, Qiu looked at Charlotte who was standing beside him, and then prepared to run towards the path Kai pointed. Seeing this, Charlotte also prepared to follow.

"Wait a minute, I just remembered one more thing."

"While I was waiting for you to come over, I seemed to see militiamen from two villages heading towards Frostwind Canyon. So, you'd better hurry. Otherwise, it might cause other trouble."

Seeing Qiu and Charlotte about to leave, Kai stopped them and then revealed a crucial piece of information. This information, in fact, was something Kai had previously concealed. Although Kai trusted Etia's judgment, he still felt cautious and tested Qiu. If Qiu hesitated or showed any other reaction, Kai would quietly follow and then find an opportunity to do something covert.

"Okay, we got it."

"It looks like we have to move faster."

After Chief Qiu turned around and listened to Kai's message, he responded directly and then reminded Charlotte.

After saying that, Chief Qiu tried to mobilize the spiritual power that was passively circulating in his body, and then separated a small amount of spiritual power from it and sent it to his legs.

"Hello host, you have mastered the skill: Charge through independent experimentation."

"Skill details can be viewed on the character panel."

After hearing the system prompt, Qiu Chief couldn't help but feel happy. However, Qiu Chief knew that his current movement speed was limited, especially after seeing Charlotte's true movement speed this morning.

Originally, when Qiu Chief heard that the monster leader was gathering monsters at the spot, Qiu Chief couldn't help but relax a little about this matter. After all, the things were just there and he would get there sooner or later even if he slowed down.

But now things have taken a turn for the worse. With the intervention of a third party, every second they delay, their chances of recovering the item diminish. The enemy chief, already at his maximum speed under normal conditions, can only rely on his spiritual energy. If he relies solely on physical strength, he probably won't be able to run far even if he runs out of energy. And if he runs out of energy, Charlotte will likely find herself in a dilemma.

Speaking of spiritual power, Qiu thought of the charge skill available to all classes in the game, which increases movement speed by consuming mana. Clearly, Charlotte's movement speed that morning had been at some cost. Since all classes in the game had this skill, mastering it must be very easy. With this in mind, Qiu gave it a try, and sure enough, he mastered it straight away.

skill:

charge

Skill type: Support

Skill consumption: minimum 1 point per second

Cooling time: none

Skill description:

Consumes mana, increases movement speed, and charges forward.

Qiu Chief quickly read the charge description in the character panel, then activated it directly. With the blessing of the skill, Qiu Chief clearly felt that the speed of his spiritual energy consumption was much slower, his movement speed was also improved, and his body posture was adjusted.

"Brother Qiuqiu, I'm here."

Charlotte watched as the enemy in front of her suddenly sped up twice. Initially troubled by his speed, Charlotte's face lit up with joy, and she simultaneously let go of the thought of once again chasing him. Then, excitedly hailing him, she activated her own skill, charging, and catching up. Once the distance between them remained the same, she slowed down her charge. Clearly, Charlotte's control of this skill was far superior to that of the newly mastered enemy.

Qiu, who had nearly met his end in front of Kai, had no idea he'd just escaped. Listening to the sound of footsteps behind him gradually becoming clearer and then more steady, Qiu confirmed that what had happened that morning was the result of Charlotte using her skill to carry him away.

Feeling the cool breeze blowing across his face, completely devoid of the sharp stinging pain he'd felt yesterday, Qiu couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of his spiritual energy. He was so excited that he wanted to laugh out loud, but considering the possibility of having the wind blown into his mouth wasn't pleasant, he kept his mouth shut.

Of course, Qiu Chief was too happy too early. In his haste, he didn't pay enough attention to the consumption of his magic points. So after running for a short while, Qiu Chief had already exhausted all his spiritual power.

As his spiritual energy was depleted, his charge skill automatically ceased, and his movement speed instantly slowed several times. Under the immense inertia, Qiu Chief couldn't help but fall to the ground, rolling forward several times. Fortunately, the snow on the ground provided some cushioning, and the defensive bonus of his clothing also helped, so Qiu Chief didn't suffer much damage.

"Brother Qiuqiu, are you okay?"

Seeing Chief Qiu fall, Charlotte couldn't help but stop her skills and shouted hurriedly.

"It's okay, I just ran out of spiritual energy."

Chief Qiu responded to Charlotte while wiping the snow off his head and face with his hands.

"I just used Charge for the first time. I was too excited and didn't pay attention to the skill consumption."

"This charge was so fast that Kai was completely out of sight in just a moment."

Although a little embarrassed, Qiu was still quite excited. After carefully reading the skill introduction again, he explained it to Charlotte again. At the same time, he did not forget to tell Charlotte about his feelings.

"Brother Qiuqiu, since you're out of mana, let me carry you and run for a while. After all, time is running out."

After hearing what Qiu Chief said, Charlotte picked up the idea that she had put aside not long ago and spoke directly to Qiu Chief. At the same time, Charlotte moved directly towards Qiu Chief.
