Chapter 811, Convoy
It was a large caravan of more than 500 people, and thousands of six-legged deer-like creatures pulled a full pile of sleds through the snow.
In the middle of the team, dozens of majestic dogs shuttled back and forth, organizing the team in an orderly manner.
"Abel, there is the smell of dragons ahead, and the snow deer are very uneasy. β
The girl in a fur coat found the leader and looked worriedly ahead.
"This area is the territory of the evil dragon Austin Hodge, it is not strange to have its smell, we must cross this road as soon as possible to reach the next town, otherwise the longer we stay, the more dangerous it will be!"
An old man who was more than three meters tall, with white hair and tendons all over his body, controlled the lead sleigh and said without looking back.
"Wait, there's someone up ahead!"
The girl screamed, and the old man who controlled the sled quickly pulled the reins.
As he slowed down, the huge procession that stretched for hundreds of meters slowly stopped, like a whole.
Horse thieves?
No, there are no horse thieves in this area!
Even those wandering bandits can't run to a place like this where birds don't, could it be a lost traveler?
The white-haired old man's thoughts turned sharply, but he still subconsciously raised his vigilance.
"Tell the boys to prepare for the enemy!"
Quietly commanding his granddaughter behind him, the old man touched the hilt of the sword at his side, staring at the gradually clear silhouette of the human figure in front of him.
As the distance narrowed, both sides saw the appearance of the other side clearly, Li Rui was full of smiles, while the old man felt a chill in his vest.
This group of people is dressed so weirdly!
Except for the young man in the middle who is dressed in tatters (punk rock style), the others are not easy to mess with just by looking at it!
Stopping a few dozen meters away, the old man shouted vigilantly: "Who are you? Why are you blocking the road?"
"Dear elders, please don't panic, we are adventurers on our way to Bellokna, we accidentally lost our way in this snowy field, I wonder if we can go to the next town with you?"
Li Rui walked forward alone with a chuckle, indicating that he was not hostile.
"Bellokna is thousands of miles away from here, where did you come from?"
Behind the old man, a group of sturdy young men gathered around him, and asked with hostility.
They were all more than two meters tall, their muscles were knotted, and even in the snowstorm they were bare-chested, as if they couldn't feel the biting cold wind.
At their feet were vicious dogs the size of calves, staring at them with fierce eyes, revealing their sharp and hideous canine teeth, and a low, threatening roar emanating from their chests.
βErrrrr......β
But Li Rui didn't look at them, just stared at the old man with a gentle smile.
There was obviously no coercive momentum, but the calm eyes made the old man feel inexplicably uneasy.
It's as if if I reject him, something very bad will happen.
However, the white-haired girl behind Li Rui frowned dissatisfiedly, looking at the vicious dogs who dared to bared their teeth at her, they also showed their little tiger teeth, and let out an undetectable low roar in their throats.
"Ang~"
As if they had been shocked, dozens of vicious dogs clamped their tails in unison, let out a frightened wail, and hid behind their masters, frightened by the pressure from the soul bloodline.
Keenly aware of the girl's small movements, the white-haired old man glared back hatefully, suppressed the panicked team, and then looked at Li Rui calmly.
"What's your name?"
"Wade Winston Wilson, you can also call me [Thunderbolt Ranger]. β
"This is my companion, Witch Lisandro. β
"Assassin Raven. β
"[Empress] Sarah. β
"Serpent of Lotus Blossom Cassiopeia. β
"Ezreal the Adventurer. β
Every time a person is introduced, the old man's eyebrows and feet twitch once.
[The Witch]'s exaggerated crown mask was too dazzling, and the visible ice crystal magic surging under her feet brought him a great sense of oppression.
However, the so-called [assassin] was wearing a tough and gorgeous armor and holding a rune giant sword in his hand, which looked like a battlefield meat grinder.
[Empress] is dressed the most normal, but between her eyebrows there is a high coldness and majesty, this is not the momentum that ordinary nobles can cultivate, is it really the empress of a certain country?
The last two people made the old man even more puzzled, Naga elf?
The composition of this team is really complicated!
However, when he saw Ezreal's face, most of the vigilance in the old man's heart immediately disappeared.
High Elves!
It even looks like the royal family of elves - the moon elves!
Most of these creatures are pure and arrogant beings, and it is almost impossible for them to be in the company of evil.
In other words, these adventurers, who look very strong, are very unlikely to attack the caravan!
Thinking of the evil dragon Austin Hodge entrenched in this generation, as well as the uneasiness of the beasts, the old man had a plan in his heart.
The more strong people in the caravan, the safer, if you really want to encounter that evil dragon, you can't stop its attack alone, and you will definitely suffer heavy losses.
With a team of masters picked up by Bai, even if you really meet that big lizard, you can scare it away!
Usually it is expensive to hire these strong people to accompany them, but now it is not bad to rub them all the way!
Nodding, in the indignant eyes of the young man behind him, the old man agreed to Li Rui's request.
But he did not completely relax his vigilance, and arranged an independent sleigh for Li Rui and others, faintly meaning to isolate them from the team.
Li Rui and the others did not dislike it, and sat in the spacious sleigh cab, looking left and right curiously.
This cockpit is a bit like an airplane cockpit, completely isolated from wind and snow with glass, and warm as spring inside.
The back half of the sleigh is an open-air cargo hopper filled with cargo wrapped tightly in huge furs.
"Oh my God, this seems to be a whole piece of fur, every car has one, what kind of animal is so big!"
Huang Juncai observed the team through the window and was amazed.
"It should be the Warren Snow Bear, a fairly common magical beast in the Northland, with a maximum body length of ten meters. β
Teacher Hannah was also looking left and right with great interest, observing these strange creatures that had only been seen in books before.
After a few glances, Li Rui opened the car door and jumped into the leading sleigh like a ghost.
Nearly twice as tall as the others, this toboggan does not have a warm cab and instead has a wide open-air platform that can be turned to overlook the entire team.
Its "body" was also covered with a layer of fur, but the silhouette did not look like normal cargo at any level.
"Uncle, thank you for giving us a ride. β
The old man, who had reached the driver's seat like a self-cook, was whispering something to his granddaughter, and was so frightened that his white hair and beard stood on end, like a lion with all his beard and hair.
I was delayed for a while after work, and there are only two chapters today. (;β²?? Π?? `)
