Volume 1 Prelude to the Storm Chapter 10 Three Teenagers (4)

When the whole country of the Beamon Empire was immersed in the jubilant atmosphere of the new emperor's accession to the throne, on the east side of the continent, on the outskirts of a remote mountain town in the Baden province of the Byzantine Empire, the most powerful empire in the human world, the gate of an ancient castle slowly opened. The owner of the castle, the twelve-year-old only son of Baron Lethagen Nooch, lord of the town, Daniels Noch, rode on the back of a pony and was followed by four servants with eagles and dogs and bows and knives, and ran to the majestic mountain behind the castle.

When this group of five people returned with a full load of prey, it was already the time when the sun was setting.

Daniels rode on a pony and walked at the head of the hunting party, cutting a large piece of fresh wild boar in his hand with a knife, and then using the tip of the knife to carry the cut small piece of wild boar meat to the falcon's beak standing on his shoulder, feeding his beloved hunting pet. The servants on foot behind him, in addition to being covered with small game such as pheasants, hares, and weasel badgers, each carried a large piece of the torso of a dismembered boar on their shoulders.

"Young master, you are really powerful, you can kill a wild boar at the age of twelve. These wild boars in the mountains have rough teeth and great strength, but even the tigers dare not easily provoke the master. By the way, when you plunged your sword into the boar's neck just now, the glimmer of light on the tip of the sword was a fighting spirit?" A servant with two hounds in his left hand and a huge boar's head on his right shoulder was at first just patting Daniels's ass, but by the end, his tone had changed to sincere envy.

He grew up in the mountains, and although he grew up to serve as a servant of the Baron's Castle, he was still short-sighted because Baron Knoch's fief was a poor country and had little contact with the nobles of the bustling towns outside. For him, Dou Qi is just something that only the legendary warriors with high martial arts can cultivate. I only know that it is extraordinary, a most ordinary long sword, after being infused with Dou Qi, will immediately become a divine weapon that sharpens iron like clay and destroys gold and jade, and all kinds of powerful and destructive Xuan Arcane martial arts also need to be stimulated by Dou Qi to be able to use it.

"Well, yes, that's vindictiveness!" Daniels said with a smug expression.

"Young Master, where did you learn your fighting spirit, and why haven't I seen you use it before?" the servant continued to ask curiously.

"I only cultivated my fighting spirit ten days ago! Do you remember a month ago, a mysterious knight accompanied by the head of the Knights of Faun City came to my castle and asked my father if there was a demon altar in the mountain? At that time, my father gathered all the hunters in the territory who often went to the mountain for questioning, but after asking one by one, no one found any demon altar in the mountain. When the mysterious knight left, he said that I have good bones, although I am older and the foundation is late, but it is a pity not to practice martial arts after all, so he passed on how I can use the method of breathing to cultivate Dou Qi! Hehe, I didn't expect that after ten or so days, I still really cultivated Dou Qi! I don't know if this speed is fast or slow!" The young man said excitedly.

Just as the young man was talking, there was a sudden earth-shattering roar in the mountains and forests. The trees behind the boy and his party kept falling, and the ground began to shake slightly.

"What's going on?" the crowd was shocked and hurriedly turned their heads to look back.

"Oh my God, what is this?, a wild boar?" Daniels was startled when he saw the beast rushing out of the mountain forest behind him.

The beast resembles a boar, but it is at least twice the size of a normal boar and is covered in a layer of hard armor. Two large fangs poked out of its mouth, and at a glance, they looked like two steel knives that shimmered with cold light. At the knee joints of its limbs, there is a thick cone-shaped bone spur on each of its limbs, which makes it look even more hideous.

When the 'boar' saw the boar's head on the shoulder of the servant who had spoken to Daniels, his two cloudy eyes were instantly bloodshot, and a mournful hiss came out of his mouth, and his stubby limbs suddenly burst into force and rushed towards the servant like a cannonball.

"Give it to me, bite it to death!" The servant saw that the 'wild boar' was staring at him, and hurriedly released the reins of the hound, and the two fierce and aggressive hounds immediately barked and pounced on the rushing 'wild boar'. At the same time, the falcon on Daniels' shoulder also spread its wings and flew away from the owner's shoulder under the command of its owner, and launched an attack on the 'wild boar'.

The next moment, two terrible wails sounded, and the two hounds only touched the body of the galloping 'wild boar' slightly, and then they were knocked out, and after falling to the ground, their whole bodies were paralyzed like mud, and all the bones in their bodies were broken between the collisions. And the falcon that pounced on the 'wild boar' from the air and tried to blind its eyes was also bitten by the 'wild boar' after raising its head and biting it into two pieces.

Seeing that this 'wild boar' was so ferocious, everyone was immediately shocked, threw away their prey, turned around and fled. Daniels had just run a few steps from his horse when he heard a scream behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that the servant who was carrying the boar's head before was chased by the 'wild boar', and was pierced through the anus by his fangs, and then he was picked into the air.

Daniels grew so big, it was the first time he witnessed the tragic death of someone around him, and he was suddenly frightened and stupid, so he just buried his head and galloped wildly. As he fled, three more screams rang out behind him, and it was clear that the other three servants had also died under the fangs of the 'wild boar'.

The pony beneath Daniels suddenly let out a scream and fell to the ground. Daniels couldn't react, and he was thrown off his horse, slamming heavily on the ground, and it took a while for him to come to his senses.

He shook his head, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the pony lying on his side on the ground, his head raised, and several times he struggled to get up, but to no avail. On its buttocks, near the base of its thigh, there was a bloody wound deep with visible bones.

Daniels was puzzled as to how the pony could have been so seriously injured suddenly, when he heard a 'whoosh', and a visible blade-like air flow roared through the middle of the pony's raised neck.

A scene that terrified Daniels was revealed.

The pony let out a painful neigh, and a trail of blood as thin as a thread appeared on its neck. Immediately afterwards, the blood streaks suddenly expanded, blood gushed out like a spring, and the pony's head and neck separated inch by inch, and finally fell to the ground with a 'plop'.

After all, Daniels was only a twelve-year-old boy, and he had never seen such a bloody scene. His stomach churned, his head tilted, and he vomited.

A half-human-high weed bush more than ten meters in front of him suddenly fell down, and the 'wild boar' that chased him for his life slowly emerged from the weeds.

Seeing this 'wild boar' following him so ghostly, he looked determined to kill him. Daniels, in his despair, suddenly developed the courage to fight the beast, gritted his teeth, threw himself forward, fell on the dead pony corpse, choked, and reached out to draw a bright sword from the scabbard hanging from the side of the saddle.

"Come on, I'm a first-class swordsman now, I'm not afraid of you!" Daniels stood up, his hands on the hilt of his sword, and yelled at the 'boar', cheering himself up.

However, Daniels couldn't help but be stunned when he noticed that the 'boar' seemed to understand his words, and a hint of anthropomorphic mockery flashed in his eyes. As if he had thought of something, his sword-holding hands began to tremble, and the courage he had mustered gradually dissipated.

Finally, Daniels' suspicion was confirmed when the Boar craned its neck and spewed out puffs of turbid air from its mouth, which finally condensed into a slowly swirling blade-like stream of air around its mouth.
