Chapter 164: Caravan
"Jingle bell!" The crisp sound of bells fluttered in the wind, and a large procession marched slowly on the trade route carved out in the dense jungle.
This is a caravan with more than a dozen lizard carts, well, that's right, lizard carts, because the cart is not a horse, but a huge lizard with a body length of nearly four meters and black and yellow wrinkled skin. These lizards all have a huge brass bell around their necks.
"Chief Sandru, let your men be more careful, we can get to Black Rock before dark today, I don't want anything to go wrong. Now you work harder, and in the evening, I will treat you to a feast with the money you have earned from the sale of the goods. ”
On the lizard cart at the head, a fat man with a fat body and a three-meter-high pile of goods with his back against his back shouted to a burly man at the front of the walking procession riding a wildebeest and carrying a heavy sword.
"Lads, have you heard, the big merchant Gülen said that he would invite us to a big meal in the evening, and give me a little spirit, so as not to make any mistakes, otherwise I will not have a big meal in the evening. ”
The burly man with the heavy sword turned his head and shouted at the team behind him.
"Got it, Chief!"
"Don't worry!"
...... The sword-wielding and bow-wielding adventurers scattered in front of and behind the procession on wildebeest echoed in unison, and when they heard that there was a great meal in the evening, their spirits became more uplifted, and their concentration was greatly improved.
"Gülen, it's not the first time we've worked together, and you're still worried about us. At this moment, a thin figure sprang out of the bushes on the side of the road, and in a few ups and downs, he fell next to the merchant Glenn, holding the dagger with the palm of his hand on the merchant's shoulder, and said with a grin.
"Oh, damn bastard, take your hand away, the blood is going to drip on me. Seeing the dagger that was only a few inches from his neck, the merchant Glenn was not only not afraid, but after seeing the dirty blood on it and smelling a smell of blood, he roared angrily at the thin figure beside him.
"What if it drops?"
"Do you know how expensive this dress is? If it gets dirty, you'll have to pay me at least one gold coin. ”
"A gold coin, who are you bluffing, just this set of torn clothes, at most a copper. ”
"I'll give you a silver coin, and you'll buy me ten pieces of my clothes, and the rest of the money will be yours?"
...... The merchant and the thin figure were arguing, and the coachman, the man, and the adventurer all looked at the scene with a grin, and the procession was filled with joy for a while.
"Alright, Barron, stop making a fuss, tell me, is there any big guy in the jungle?" Sandru, the leader of the adventure group escorting the caravan, asked as he turned his head to the thin figure, the only thief in their team, the "eye" of their group.
"No big guys, boss. Barron the Thief withdrew his hand from the merchant's fleshy shoulder, "I only touched a few goblins, and I slaughtered them all." ”
"That's fine!" Sandru nodded, no big guy is normal, this is a business road, and there were strong people who cleaned it once at the beginning of its establishment. He had already led the team on this road several times, and he had basically not encountered any mortal danger.
And the teams that come and go along the way will clean up some slightly dangerous beasts, such as ferocious species and the like.
But nothing is set in stone, just when Sandru felt that this escort mission could be successfully completed.
The wildebeest under the adventurer's crotch and the lizard pulling the cart began to become restless, and then, "Boom!" the earth trembled, and in the distance, trees fell one by one, and a new forest road was being carved out.
"Heavy cavalry!" Such a momentum made the temperament of Sandru change his face in an instant, and he recalled the terrifying scene he had seen when a cavalry regiment with nearly a hundred heavy cavalry under the command of a certain nobleman charged together.
But even that momentum could not be compared with the scene in front of him, because even the hoplites could not rush in the jungle. So, the tough man, tear open his throat and roar.
"Enemy attack, defense. ”
The whole team moved in an instant...... But before the team could set up their defensive formation, in the middle of the jungle, the team that charged in the jungle broke through the dense trees and appeared in front of the caravan.
A cyan giant wolf with a body length of nearly ten meters jumped out and landed in the middle of the road, and the ground sank slightly under its claws. Then, the giant wolf turned his head to look at the caravan, and there was a look of extremely human disdain in the deep wolf pupils.
"Boom!" one after another cyan wolves followed and scurried out, landing in the middle of the trade road, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of giant wolves ranging in size from six to eight meters appeared in front of this caravan.
Behind them, I don't know how many trees have been broken and how many shrubs have been trampled to pieces. They are born in the jungle and "walk" out of the way.
"Roar!" the largest giant wolf roared, its limbs slightly bent, and was about to run into the jungle at the other end, but on its back, a white tender palm grabbed the hair on the back of its neck and gently pulled it.
"Whew!" around his neck, there was a mighty wolf with a beautiful golden retriever whimpering, and the tip of his tail had turned into a golden big tail and wagged like a dog.
Then, the giant wolf followed the hand that grabbed the hair from its neck and walked towards the caravan that had been set up in defensive formation.
"Troll!" "Troll!" "Tread!" ...... Because of the huge body of the giant wolf, every time it falls, its claws will sink into the ground, leaving a deep wolf palm print, and at the same time making a lot of noise, bringing heavy pressure to everyone in the caravan.
As the wolf approached, all the lizards pulling the cart fell to the ground, shivering, and the wildebeest on which the party rode also neighed uneasily.
The leader Sandru pulled out the heavy sword he was carrying, and looked at the giant wolf pacing slowly with a blue face, a monster of this level was beyond the limit that their adventure group could fight.
But he gave no order to flee, and no one in the caravan fled, even though many of them were so frightened by the sudden appearance of the wolves that their legs trembled.
Not because of how brave this group of people were, but because with the movements of the head wolf, the rest of the giant wolves also slowly surrounded them, forming an encirclement, with a posture that whoever ran first would die.
"Gollum!" In the caravan, from time to time, someone swallowed a mouthful of saliva, the forest wind blew, and a faint fishy smell spread in the caravan, as if someone was scared to pee.
"Barron, that's what you're talking about, it's not a big guy?" The fat merchant looked at the giant wolf slowly surrounding, showing a hint of despair, "This is not a big guy, there is nothing that is not a big guy, how the hell are you probing? You are trying to kill all of us!"
"I've already probed around the caravan!" the skinny thief Barron's voice trembled, "can't blame me, they're from somewhere else." ”
"Such a big pack of wolves came over, but you didn't notice any movement in advance, don't blame who you blame?"
"I ......" just as the thief was about to argue a sentence or two.
The giant wolf had already paced up to the group, glanced at them with contempt, and slowly lowered his head.
"Can any of you tell me where this is?" At this moment, a very young voice sounded on the back of the giant wolf.
