Chapter 282: Bohemian Rhapsody (5)
The master and apprentice were experienced and agile, Miao Yi couldn't beat them, so she gave full play to her expertise in running, running desperately in front, and the master and apprentice called horses and chased desperately behind.
The apprentice carried the bow on his back and shot arrows while chasing, but the arrows could not pierce Miao Yi's skin, he didn't even have to dodge, and the horse's running speed could not exceed that of centaurs, the problem was that Miao Yi habitually ran in an open place, and the correct way should be to run into the woods.
There are many obstacles in the woods, and if it were a cat, it would definitely be the first to enter the woods, but now it has no feet suitable for running, jumping, and jumping, and no tail to maintain balance, so it is easy to hit trees or trip when running into the woods.
There were pedestrians and carriages on the road, and when they saw a centaur with a thick wooden stick rushing towards them, some screamed and ran away, some rolled their eyes and fainted, and some saw that someone was chasing after them, so they picked up stones and beat them.
After running for more than ten minutes, the worst situation appeared, three monster hunters appeared in front, and when they saw Miao Yi from a distance, they took out their weapons and blocked the front.
When Miao Yi saw them, she realized that she should go into the woods, and turned her head and rushed into the woods.
The master, who was chasing behind, made a gesture to the three men, and the three of them turned over and got on their horses and chased them into the woods with the master and apprentice.
The gesture meant that the hunt mission was officially granted, and there would not be much monetary reward, but there would be subsidies for other things, and they could freely choose to participate or not, and the three of them had no quests and didn't mind wasting a little time on this centaur.
Miao Yi slowed down so as not to crash into the tree, and the five people did not dare to gallop wildly, always staying at a distance.
It didn't take long for it to hear someone shouting from behind, "Be careful! It may be to find a companion, be on guard and don't run into the encirclement! ”
"Why chase it? It's just a centaur, so why bother so much? Someone asked.
"I heard that it behaves strangely, so let's capture it alive. Take it back and study it. The apprentice replied.
"Interesting, what's the pay?" The man then asked, Monster Hunters are a group of people who take risks for the sake of profit, which is their primary concern.
"Exoneration." The master didn't say anything more and threw out a big enough bait.
Outlaws are not necessarily outlaws, but they can die at any time, so they don't like to be bound by rules, and this is also a group of people who are quite a headache for those in power, if they make a mistake and catch them, then who will deal with the monsters? Besides, these people are not easy to catch. So there is a fine system, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake, as long as it's not a major event such as murder and arson, the monster hunter can be exempted from the crime by paying a fine, and the specific amount of the fine is determined by the judge, and the exoneration order is something that can be exempted from paying a fine, which is considered a benefit in disguise.
If you pay less, you can pay money, and if you pay more, you can use an exoneration instead, and there is no monster hunter who doesn't like an exoneration. Therefore, the three people who came later also came to work, as long as they made their efforts, I believe that the issuance of three more exoneration orders would not make the government too embarrassed.
Miao Yi heard their words and knew that these people would not kill themselves. But being captured alive may be worse than death, so he didn't dare to be careless and continued to run.
"Gu Qi and Nibbling Chicken must be found as soon as possible, they will definitely be able to deal with these few people. Even if you can't understand me, you can still write and communicate. It thought.
But where to look? There is no clue at all.
After running for a while, the person behind spoke again: "I didn't see an ambush." It's definitely lonely. ”
"It's okay." Master spoke again: "It will definitely run to its companions, centaurs are monsters that like to migrate, even if this one is alone, it must know where its companions are going, this is instinct, it will never forget." ”
"Where are you going?" Miao Yi was stunned for a moment, of course it knew where the companions were going, the question was that it was in the real world, this was an illusion, would they still go to that location?
"Definitely." It suddenly thought: "In a strange world, scattered again, then the only common place is the place we want to go in reality, yes, it must be right, they will definitely go there and wait for me." ”
It cut through the woods, cleared its way, and ran south.

"I suddenly thought of a place where I might try my luck." Kenji Sakura looked at Van Helsing's hand-drawn map and gained a certain understanding of the world.
"Okay, where are you going?" Van Helsing asked, looking at the map.
"Go to sea, by the way, the world is round, right?" Kenji Sakura saw that the coastline on the far left and far right of the map could be connected.
Van Helsing nodded: "You know, how?" ”
"How long does it take to go around the sea in a boat?" Kenji Sakura pulled a line in the area indicating the sea, bypassing the continental section.
"Probably...... Ten days, what? Van Helsing thought for a moment and said.
"So small? I see, find the nearest pier and go to sea. A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Kenji Sakura's mouth.

In the dark night, Gu Qi hid in the woods near the dock and watched Little Red Riding Hood walk to the dock from a distance.
He finally experienced the vision of an animal, the light was very dark, but it could see very clearly, even the insects hiding in the darkest corners, and the sense of smell was very sensitive, but in his cognition he could not distinguish so many smells, only a few of them.
Little Red Riding Hood walked over to a small fishing boat, talked to the people on board, handed over two coins, and the people on board left happily.
After the man left, Little Red Riding Hood beckoned to Gu Qiyi and motioned for him to come over.
Gu Qi looked for obstacles with extremely agile movements, and headed towards the dock, this is a port village, the people in the village have not yet slept, and the windows of most of the houses are still lit by dim candlelight.
Coming to the dock, he jumped on the boat and hid in the cabin.
Little Red Riding Hood kicked the fence with his foot, and the little fishing boat sailed out quietly and left the dock.
The way the boat travels is a bit like a car ship, there are oars on both sides, standing in the cabin with a hand stick can make the oars rotate, the two oars are not connected, they can be rotated separately, the rotation on the left can make the hull turn right, the rotation on the right can make the hull turn left, the two sides turn in different directions to turn faster, and at the same time turn forward can move forward, and at the same time turn backward can go backward.
After adjusting the bow of the boat, Gu Qi turned the handle, and the small fishing boat quickly moved towards the south.

ran to the coast, Miao Yi was almost tired.
The five monster hunters still didn't intend to let it go, although the distance was widened, but the tracking ability was extremely strong, always following behind, and it wouldn't be long before they caught up.
It can only run non-stop, but fortunately it has two stomachs, can eat anything, and can pick leaves to eat while running.
Looking at the endless sea, and then looking at his thin pole, it is estimated that even if it does not sink, it will not swim fast or far, so it can only find a boat, and he has the strength, as long as he has a boat and oars, and enters the sea, he can have a way to get rid of the pursuers behind.
So, it ran to the east, and where there was a pier, there must be people with houses, so you don't have to worry about missing it even if you can't see the coastline.
I don't know how long I ran, but a building finally appeared in front of me.
As soon as the people of the port saw the centaur appear, they became confused again and closed the gates.
This time, Miao Yi was not polite, brandished a wooden stick to shake the people on the wall down, ran to the gate and began to rush, and after a while, the door latch was broken and rushed into the port.
People screamed and scattered and fled, Miao Yi went straight to the dock, ran on the fence and used a wooden stick to break the fence behind him while advancing, dismantling a distance of more than ten meters, it jumped onto a small boat, after figuring out the operation of this hand-cranked car boat, it broke several boats next to it, and saw that the five monster hunters had rushed into the gate it had smashed, and hurriedly drove the boat to the south.
With great strength, the oars turned rapidly, and the boat even jumped on the waves like a speedboat.
…………
…………
Kenji Sakura and Van Helsing came to the docks, where Van Helsing rented a boat and drove south.
"Keep going south, don't turn." Kenji Sakura stood at the bow of the ship, with his hands behind his back, looking ahead like a triumphant general, full of momentum.
"All the way south? That's not ...... Frozen Continent? Van Helsing seemed a little surprised.
"Is it called the Frozen Continent?" Kenji Sakura turned his head, glanced at Van Helsing through the window, and said with a smile: "That's it, I hope you're not afraid of the cold." ”
"You should have told me earlier, I'll bring you some warm clothes." Van Helsing helped his felt hat, he was wearing a leather coat and was not afraid of the cold wind, but Kenji Sakura was dressed in a single coat and a greasy cape.
"It's okay, I'm a brave man, how can a brave man die so easily." Kenji Sakura didn't care at all.
"It turns out that the sword in the stone is in the frozen continent...... No wonder no one can find it. Van Helsing smiled too.
"If you find it, you can't pull it out, they are not brave." Kenji Sakura sat down cross-legged, grabbed the rod at hand, and threw the hook into the water.
Van Helsing brought everything except warm clothes, and after knowing that he was going to sea, he specially bought some food and put it on the ship, and for two days, they relied on dried fish and bread cubes to satisfy their hunger, and came to the vicinity of the frozen continent.
The temperature was changing almost every minute, getting colder and colder, and Kenji Sakura moved from the bow to the stern, and finally hid in the cabin, shivering.
The altitude of the frozen continent is very high, so naturally there will be no docks or anything like that, and there are only three places where you can land, all of which are marked on the map.
Approaching the first landing port, Kenji Sakura stood at the bow of the ship with his hands folded and looked at it for a while, then motioned for Van Helsing to go to another landing port.
Van Helsing didn't understand what he meant, but he did so, and saw a rocking boat in front of the second landing port.
"Yes, let's dock here." Kenji Sakura snorted and smiled again-
