0104 Wild West
Passing through the West Spring Fortress, the originally sunny sky suddenly became gloomy.
The verdant earth also became barren and desolate.
It's literally two worlds!
The atmosphere in the team was a little quieter, and everyone raised their eyes to look at the wilderness ahead.
In the dim sunlight covered by thick sand and dust, deserted farmland is overgrown with weeds, lonely trees, and voles are rampant.
The Western Wilderness, originally the largest granary of the Stormwind Kingdom, has nurtured the fertile soil of countless kingdom people. Now it's like an old man in his nineties lying in a hospital bed, and his vitality is losing little by little.
The crowd walked dozens of miles, but there was nothing but desolation.
There was a faint noise ahead, and the crowd climbed over the mound and looked ahead. In the corner of a barren farmland, two skinny children of seven or eight years old were digging food in the field, and after digging it, they rubbed it on their chests indiscriminately, and then they gobbled it into their mouths, as if they were very hungry.
The two children were very alert, and soon found Su Yi and his party, and then immediately got up from the ground and ran away quickly with tools.
The group went to the field and looked at the ground that had been dug up by the two children, and there were some thumb-thick rhizomes growing in it. Su Yi picked one up and tasted it, and a bitterness suddenly permeated the tip of his tongue.
"Ahh Help me! Help me! ”
Suddenly, the voices of two children calling for help came from ahead.
Everyone hurried forward, and saw more than a dozen two-meter-tall gnolls chasing the two children with a smirk. Among them, a child was knocked down by a gnoll's stick, and his head suddenly blossomed. Screaming and falling, the other child is also in danger.
Su Yi quickly took out his bow and arrows. While running wildly, he bends his bow and arrows. Arrows flew out, knocking down the attacking gnolls one by one.
When everyone approached and joined the battle group, a dozen gnolls were quickly killed by everyone.
"Andy, Andy, don't die, please, don't die!" The surviving little boy ran to the other boy, shaking the boy's body sadly. But the boy on the ground had his head blooming and had completely stopped breathing.
Su Yi stepped forward, patted the little boy on the shoulder, and said, "You are all brave children, may the Holy Light bless you." As he spoke, Su Yi faced the corpse of the boy on the ground and performed redemption for the first time.
The holy light gathered, and in the little boy's surprised gaze, a dazzling ball of holy light emanated from Su Yi's hand. Fall on the boy who died. The light flickered, and after about a dozen breaths, the wound on the boy's head on the ground was seen to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the boy felt as if he had had a long dream. He stood up with a slightly confused look in his eyes.
"Aren't I dead, Aven? Hey, why are my wounds all healed? Nothing at all. Am I dreaming? The resurrected boy grabbed the little boy's hand. He exclaimed with surprise and joy on his face.
The little boy named Ai Wen looked at his companion in a daze, and couldn't help but look at Su Yi. Hearing Andy's words, he suddenly woke up. Said: "Andy, you weren't dreaming, you were dead just now, yes, it was this paladin who saved you!" ”
Andy then noticed a handsome tall man standing in front of him, and the gnolls who were chasing them around him were dead.
Su Yi smiled and said, "Little guys, it's okay anymore." ”
Andy and Evan looked at him respectfully, "Thank you, sir, for saving us." ”
Su Yi looked at the wilderness around him and said, "Where is your two's home?" I'll send you back. ”
Everyone escorted the two little boys home, and from the two boys, Su Yi learned a lot about the Western Wilderness.
Today, the vast majority of the Wild West is shrouded in the shadow of the Defiya Thieves, filled with Defia thieves and robbers. As a result of the constant fighting, many of the people of the Wild West abandoned their farmland and fled to the Elwyn Forest.
At the same time, because of the rebellion of the Defia thieves, the Western Wilderness People's Army has a limited scope to take care of. A few years ago, in the northeastern and southeastern margins of the Western Wilderness, a large number of gnolls had appeared out of nowhere, adding to the misery of the people here.
The group escorted Andy and Evan to a village at the foot of a hillside, which, like the entire Wild West, was filled with an atmosphere of decay and depression from beginning to end.
The arrival of the crowd was not greeted in any way, and all of them had a thick sense of wariness and indifference on their faces. Even if Su Yi and the others saved Andy and Aiwen, the parents of the two only barely managed to squeeze out a smile, and then scolded the two children who ran out loudly.
Su Yi and the others were bored, stayed for a while and left in a hurry. The scene of the village made everyone's mood feel a little heavier.
Everyone killed two more groups of jackals along the way, and when they came to a mountain pass, Su Yi suddenly stopped.
"I think we've met some overzealous friends, and we're ready to fight."
As soon as the words fell, hundreds of figures appeared on the hillsides on both sides, each with a red turban tied to their heads, most of them were skinny, but their faces were full of hideousness.
"Captain, I remember that fellow was from the village in front of me, and it seems that he reported the letter to the Difia thieves. These vengeful fellows! Pointing to a road on the hillside on the left, Su Yi looked at it, and sure enough, it was an acquaintance from the village in front.
Su Yi said: "The people are bandits, bandits are the people, and there are probably very few simple people in the entire western wilderness." ”
On the hillside on the left, a short and fat man with a pipe came out, looking at Su Yi and the others: "Haha, brothers, look who is coming?" Another bunch of muddy balls who want to take our heads to claim a bounty, or a fat sheep who have sent us a beautiful gift? Hahahaha! ”
There was a burst of laughter on the hillside, and another man with a shaved head and a hideous appearance swept over everyone with a fierce gaze, and said, "Damn, there are only seven people, and there must be very little oil and water." ”
The short and fat man said: "It's not easy to mix these days, and it's already very good to have seven fat sheep, brothers, go on!" Whether you can drink wine and eat meat tonight depends on them. ”
On the two hillsides, hundreds of Difia thieves rushed down with a roar, and among these thieves there were about thirty low-ranking warriors, and the rest were just ordinary people. Su Yi even saw a few people holding hoes for work.
To deal with these guys, there was no need for Su Yi to make a move, the six Qi Xiongs were divided into two groups and pounced into the flock like tigers.
Wordless summoned a little ghost, Qin Hu summoned a bear, and Leadstar chanted a spell, and one by one fireballs smashed into the professionals in the group of thieves.
Qi Xiong, Tie Zhu, and Dashan were like chopping melons and vegetables in the crowd, killing a large area in an instant, and the crowd around the three of them was suddenly empty. The thieves of Defiya showed a look of horror, where is this fat sheep, it is simply a demon who asks for his life!
The bald man and the short and fat man rolled their eyes, quietly moved away from Qi Xiong and the others, and dived towards Lian Xing and the others. When the two of them approached the side of the star, they couldn't help but show a hideous look, the mage's long-range attack was powerful, but the melee combat was ......
The two of them roared, sneering and pounced on the star, but they saw the mage in front of him unhurriedly smash the fireball in his hand, and turned around sensitively, dodging the attack of the two. At the same time, a long knife appeared in his hand, and as soon as the knife flashed, the bald man felt a pass in his chest, and a darkness rushed towards him.
Immediately after, Leadstar swung his knife to block the Humpty Dumpty Man's second attack. The two knives collided, and the short and fat man felt a huge force coming from the knife, knocking his big knife away.
The short and fat man was dumbfounded, and his soul was gone. Nima, when did a mage have such vigorous skills and great strength? Doesn't this give us a way out for thieves?
The knife light reappeared, and the short and fat man covered his neck and fell down unwillingly.
The battle soon came to an end, and the bandits lost their fighting spirit after almost only one wave of attacks. When the more than thirty low-level warriors were all killed by everyone, the remaining thieves were immediately terrified and fled.
"My lord, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore. Please spare me, let me go! The man who reported the news was carried by the iron pillar, his face was pale, and he begged for mercy with a frightened face.
Lian Xing said coldly: "Hmph! You guy, we saved the people of your village, and not only did you not thank you, but you also colluded with the thieves of Defia to ambush us. If it weren't for our strength, I'm afraid we would be the ones lying on the ground right now. ”
The man who reported the news was full of panic, and said with a handful of tears and snot: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are also forced to be cornered, so we are like this." Over the years, the thieves of Defia have been rampant, and they have destroyed our homes, and they have also stipulated that we must pay enough food for them every month, or give them a message, and rob passers-by. Otherwise, they will take the people of our village to work as coolies. There's nothing we can do! ”
Su Yi shook his head and said, "Poor guy, but poor people must have something to hate." Over the years, how many innocent people have you harmed as the minions of the thieves of Defia? ”
Xingjian said: "Regiment leader, kill him!" These people have worn out humanity, and this guy was ridiculously happy just now. ”
The messenger hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Please, I don't want to die!" I'll definitely change it in the future. I still have a wife and children at home, a dozens of years old women to take care of, and a few months old baby that has not been weaned, I don't want to die! ”
The man's words almost didn't make everyone laugh, and the star said coldly: "Phew! Can you change the word to something new? I think you're a death-scared ghost. ”
Su Yi smiled and said, "Okay! The Holy Light forgives the world, I will give you a chance to mend your ways, take us to the town of Yuexi, and I will let you go when we get there. (To be continued......)
