Volume 2 Counting the Edge and Revealing the Peak of the Martial Arts Chapter 410
But now the situation is chaotic, and there are still people who cheat for personal gain and do evil in the forbidden army in the capital, not to mention the war horses in the army.
Those departments that train war horses must also be in harmony with the people in the palace, so the work they do is so-so.
The war horses they trained, unless they are for generals or dignitaries, will not be too careful, so the quality of the war horses in the army can be imagined.
It was precisely because the knight knew about this that he resented the war horse he was riding for reacting too much to the movement in the grass on the side of the road.
The order he received was time-limited, otherwise he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to get here.
If the horse delays the time and exceeds the time limit, then he will not only be rewarded for his hard work, but will also be punished.
That's why people don't want to do such thankless tasks.
But at this point, it was useless to complain, and in order to get his horse away from his fear and get on the road quickly, he had to get off his horse to check what was going on on the side of the road. Is it a beast? Or is it a robber?
The knight was not a very bold man, and when he dismounted, he did not dare to rush over to see what was going on.
But time was short, and he could not hesitate, so the knight drew his bow and arrows, and shot an arrow at the moving grass.
If there were any wild beasts or robbers in there, my own arrow would be enough to drive them out, and then I would have observed the situation, and if it were not for some ferocious beasts or hordes of robbers, I would have been able to deal with them.
But if the situation is not good, he will have to run away, after all, his own life is still more important than delaying time and being punished by the chief.
But when his arrow went into the grass, there was no movement except the sound of the arrow passing through the grass.
The knight wondered in his heart that if there were any robbers or beasts hidden there, it would be impossible for him to hold his breath, because the bow and arrow in his hand, even if he did not hit the target this time, could not have hit the next arrow.
Therefore, if there were really people or beasts in the grass, his arrow would be enough to scare the "thing" inside.
Seeing that the grass was silent, the knight could only go and see for himself.
After all, the road still has to be rushed, and if his horse's concerns are not dispelled, it seems that it will not go.
So the knight took out his spear and walked cautiously to the bushes.
"Damn, if there's a rat in there, scare this beast like this, and I'll slaughter it when I go back!"
The knight grumbled as he approached the grass.
Although he said this, he was actually in his heart, after all, the invisible was more frightening.
There was a "snap" sound, and the knight suddenly tentatively hit the grass with the spear in his hand.
He swept away the grass, but nothing was in it.
In order to be cautious, the knight stabbed into the grass a few more times, and only after confirming that there was nothing did he breathe a sigh of relief.
He turned his head to look at the horse behind him and scolded: "Damn, you brute is making a big fuss, you are scared like this at the slightest disturbance, and Lao Tzu is also startled, it turns out that there is nothing ......"
He was only halfway through his sentence when something suddenly jumped out of the grass.
The knight felt that it was dark in front of him, and something was covering his face.
Before he could scream, the thing threw him to the ground.
It turned out that the thing that pounced on the knight was Niu Eighteen.
He hid in the grass and did not dare to make a sound until the knight fired an arrow that hit him in the body.
Strange to say, after Niu Eighteen was shot with a bow and arrow, he didn't feel any pain at all, as if it wasn't his own body that was shot.
But at the same time, Niu Eighteen's body was rapidly decaying.
Pieces of rotten flesh fell from him, revealing the entrails and bones inside.
Niu Eighteen was terrified, if he rotted at this rate, it wouldn't be long before all the flesh in his body would fall off, and he would only have a pile of bones left.
Just when Niu Eighteen was at a loss, the knight approached to confirm the situation in the grass.
This was a godsend, and if the knight had turned around and left, Niu XVIII, who had been hiding in the grass, would surely die.
However, it seems that he should not die, and this frenzied ogre finds a chance to come back to life when he is dying.
The knight who was close to the grass tentatively swept the grass with his spear, and relaxed his vigilance after finding that there was no movement inside, but what he didn't expect was that it was not that there was no danger in the grass, but because Niu Eighteen's body had begun to fester, and the original huge body had turned into a pile of mud, and the position swept by the knight's spear was just above Niu Eighteen, so he was not found.
However, even though Niu Eighteen's body was rotten, he was still able to move.
Just when the knight turned around lightly and complained to the war horse behind him, Niu Eighteen, who had been lurking for a long time, finally found an opportunity and suddenly pounced on the unlucky knight.
The thing that covered the knight's body was none other than the rotting flesh of Niu Eighteen.
These rotten meats, like meat puree, are soft and slimy, and once they get on their bodies, they can't be shaken off.
The knight struggled in horror to break free from the horrible flesh, but the flesh, like paint, stuck to his body and could not be shaken off.
What's worse is that these flesh mud is not only clingy, but also dissolves the flesh of the possessed person.
The knight's clothes were completely unable to stop the penetration of these flesh purees.
Niu Eighteen's entire body wrapped around the knight, and even if he didn't use his mouth, he could absorb the flesh and blood in the knight's body.
The knight clearly felt that his body was rapidly corroding away, and the pain was unbearable, but soon, the pain gradually faded away, for the knight was no longer in pain.
After absorbing the knight, Niu Eighteen gradually regained his human form.
He got up from the ground, and although his body was not as tall as before, he managed to recover seven or eight points.
When his body completely changed into a human form, Niu Eighteen could see the surroundings clearly.
I saw that on the ground in front of him, there was only a pile of clothes and equipment left, needless to say, it was all left over from the knight.
It turns out that Niu Eighteen's body, when on the verge of death, will turn into a pile of meat puree, sucking everything that can be captured around him to restore his body.
