Volume 2 Chapter 97 The Snow Pursuit

Not long after Shi Leiyin and Rift Lily of the Valley separated, a team of more than 100 soldiers, led by two people, went to the intersection where the carriage had stopped. Since the weather was fine and there was no snow, there were still many traces on the snow, although they were damaged a lot by the pedestrians and monsters that passed by later, it could still be seen that the Ice Armor Herbivorous Dragon and the carriage had gone in different directions.

"What now?" said one of the two leaders, an officer in military armor, who had carefully examined the traces and was convinced of his judgment, turned his head towards the other leader.

“...... It's possible on both sides" The other leader was not dressed as a soldier, but as an obvious adventurer.

"Is it possible? Isn't it possible that the three people sent by Rift don't have goblins?"

"No, Reeft is resourceful and second only to Anaceton's old fox in the snowy branches, and I'm sure he'll expect your military to get involved. As long as they arrange eyeliner at the gates, it will not be difficult for them to inform Rift before us.

"But this side leads to the depths of the snowfield, could it just be used to confuse us?"

"That's where he is great, the route taken by the herbivorous dragon only leads to the depths of the snowfield, and it seems to be a very simple means of confusion, but we can't rule out that after entering the depths of the snowfield, it will bypass us through guò covert means. And the longer we hesitate, the more we won't be able to catch up with the carriage......"

"So what do we do?"

"Divide the troops into three routes, you take the first detachment to chase the carriage lightly, half of the second detachment brings supplies as backup, and the other half stays here to monitor the people who come and go, and if you find a target, send someone to watch and wait for me to come back. I'm going to chase the snow field alone, and with the speed of the Ice Armor Herbivorous Dragon, I can catch up in one day. ”

"You're alone, what if Riffett does something to you?"

"Reeft's strength is not as good as mine, even if he has helpers, I can't stop them if I want to, besides, I just need to keep an eye on them, if they go in the direction of the depths of this snowfield, they still have to go back to the snowfield town anyway. Besides, I'm just an insurance here, and in my estimation, it's more likely that Rift will still take a carriage to the east of the mountains, so you're here as the top priority, and whether or not you can catch the upper echelons of the goblin clan may still fall on you. ”

The leader dressed as an adventurer, waved his hand, interrupted the officer's questioning, straightened his coat, and chased directly after the tracks of the ice-armored herbivorous dragon.

The officer, on the other hand, assigned the two temporary commanders of the second detachment, and with about fifty men of the first detachment, pursued them along the trails left by the carriage.

"Well, it seems that someone is chasing after you from behind, but only one person? is it just an adventurer who happens to be passing by?"

Shui Jing and Zilde sat on the backs of the two ice-armored herbivorous dragons, respectively, while Shi Leiyin regained his round spherical appearance at Shui Jing's request.

Although it was said to be for safety, it had been kept dormant, which made the little water spirit a little suffocated, so as compensation, Shi Leiyin agreed to all of Shui Jing's requests almost without thinking about it, including changing back to its original form, including keeping his body in a state that was both elastic and would not bounce Shui Jing's little hand away.

In fact, Shi Leiyin felt that maintaining such a state was not much easier than maintaining a human form.

Jelia is still hidden in Zilde's hat, the place where she used to live belongs to the warm southern forest, and after arriving in the north, she is obviously very uncomfortable, although she can still move by relying on the lively and active nature of the elf, but after losing the novelty of snow and cold, the elf prefers to hide in the warm hat, to be exact, Zird's warm neck.

Zilde surprised Shi Leiyin to this approach, and did not react at all, acquiescing to the elf's behavior.

The Ice Armor Herbivorous Dragon's movement speed was not very fast, because Shi Leiyin didn't feel the need to hurry. After handing over Lily of the Valley to Rifett, Shi Leiyin took the issue of pursuing soldiers relatively lightly. First, Lily of the Valley was not around, and even if the other party chased after him, he could only pounce. Second, there is no lily of the valley that needs to be mounted, and the ice armor herbivorous dragon whose main purpose is to travel has no reason to keep it, and if the pursuers want to do it, they can be abandoned at any time.

Of course, in order to avoid being caught off guard, Shi Leiyin still controlled a few low-level slimes on the side of the road at intervals, so that they could pay attention to the approach of someone or a demonic beast, so when the leader rushed over, he was immediately discovered by a snow slime and reported to Shi Leiyin.

Since there was only one person, and the information sent back by the Snow Slime only had two general evaluations, strong and fast, Shi Leiyin thought about the situation on his side for a while, with his own and Zird's ability, as long as he didn't besiege with a large number of people, it wouldn't cause much of a problem. In the snowy town, there are only a handful of people who can pose a threat to themselves with the power of one person, and it is absolutely impossible for those few people to pursue alone, so the human who is approaching quickly behind him can only cause a little trouble at most.

Stretching out a tentacle and patting the Ice Armor Herbivorous Dragon Head under him, Shi Leiyin once again reduced the speed of the Ice Armor Herbivorous Dragon. You may not be in big trouble, but it's good to be prepared just in case. Moreover, with the entry into the depths of the frozen snow field, the surrounding demonic beasts have gradually increased, although for the time being, they are just some low-level vegetarian demonic beasts that are timid and do not have much attack power, but where there is prey, there will be predators, and no one can guarantee that there will be no carnivorous offensive demonic beasts.

As a king-level slime, Shi Leiyin's advantage is that he can obtain first-hand environmental information through the slimes everywhere around Guò, but although Shi Leiyin can issue summoning commands to slimes within a radius of nearly 10,000 meters, in fact, the range he can manipulate and receive information feedback is less than 500 meters in radius.

Ordinary low-level slimes have a very low reaction speed, and it takes a lot of time from getting information to giving feedback. With the previous movement speed of the Ice Armor Herbivorous Dragon, it is easy to appear that the low-level slimes in the edge of the control zone have already left the controllable range before they have come and the feedback information. For example, the Snow Slime that only sent a message to Shi Leiyin to chase the soldiers was also out of the feedback range after the message was sent and went back to freedom.

For the same reason, due to the frequent addition of new surveillance slimes, in order not to be too tired, after a period of time, Shi Leiyin, who was deeply tired, only controlled a new slime on the side of the road every four hundred meters, so as to determine the safety ahead, if it was not for the fear of chasing soldiers behind, Shi Leiyin might even be released directly as soon as he passed by the accused slime.

After reducing the movement speed of the Ice Armor Herbivorous Dragon, Shi Leiyin no longer needs to summon new slimes so frequently, and he can also use the extra energy to use more elaborate control slimes as monitoring to confirm whether the human behind him is a pursuer.
