Chapter 396: Ironback Bear
There was a peculiar smell of grass in the air, and a white horse was gone, and soon a black horse chased after it. (.)
The one riding the white horse was Martina, and the black horse was naturally the mount of the little marquis Xiao Chen.
After a few days of repairs, the destroyed walls have all been restored to their original state, but everyone has lost confidence in this rammed earth fortification, which is simply vulnerable to stone throwers.
There is a lack of stones in the steppe, and it is very difficult to mine stones to build cities, and besides, the barbarians do not know how to quarry stones. Even burning bricks is a very difficult thing for them, the people on horseback.
Martina's mood is getting better day by day, except for going out of the city every day, almost all of the rest of the time is spent on soul power cultivation.
Just last night, she was successfully upgraded to the fourth level of the Qi Martial Realm, and her swordsmanship has improved significantly, and the fastest improvement is the archery, using the purple gold hand crossbow, she can almost do the arrow within sixty meters without missing a shot, she is worthy of being the daughter of a barbarian family, and has a natural advantage in archery.
"Brother Chen, there is a col in front, because the terrain is relatively low, the temperature in winter is much higher than outside, if we are lucky, maybe we can see flowers there." She said coquettishly.
The little marquis didn't want to think about it and said: "Since there is such a good place, we must go and see it, let's hurry up!"
Two horses, one black and one white, exert their strength at the same time, carrying their owners to a beautiful place.
The so-called earth col is similar to the mountain col, but it is a valley made of stones, and a soil fault formed by the movement of the earth's crust, which looks like a dead end from the outside.
Walking into the col, the little marquis once again sighed at the greatness of the creator, the widest part of the col is more than a mile, the length is more than ten miles, and the deepest place is six or seven hundred meters away from the upper tribe.
The temperature inside the col was indeed warmer than outside, and the breeze blew with a sense of warmth.
"The last time I came here was when I was a child, when my father and mother drove the carriage and our family came here for a picnic, and I loved it then. But then I asked them several times, but they were either too busy, or they made excuses that there were very powerful beasts in the col, and they were too dangerous to come. ”
"Hehe, you already have the ability to protect yourself, you can come as many times as you want in the future. The little marquis said with a smile.
"Hmm. The beautiful princess had a little more blush on her face, lowered her head and whispered, "Then will you accompany me every time?"
The little marquis was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said, "As long as I am still in the border city, I will definitely accompany you." ”
"Why are you leaving?" the princess keenly grasped the point from his words.
"I shouldn't be leaving for the time being, but I'm not sure when I'll leave. Xiao Chen looked into the distance and said: "There is such a big friction between the border city and the Baishan clan, it will attract the attention of the border army of the Great Chu Dynasty, and they will send people to secretly sneak into the border city to investigate." I don't know how long my identity will be kept secret, and if my identity is revealed, it may affect you and Lord Sukemu. ”
The princess immediately shook her head and said, "No, we have blocked the siege of thousands of people from the Baishan Clan, and naturally we are not afraid of the army of the Great Chu Dynasty." ”
Little Hou Ye said in his heart, child, your self-confidence is a little excessive, the strength of the Great Chu Border Army is second to none in the Huaxia Continent, otherwise how could you barbarians be controlled to the death on the grassland.
Moreover, the Great Chu military regulations are more adept at siege warfare, and a small border city with a rammed earth structure is no different from flat ground in front of them.
"It's better to be careful. He smiled and said, "Of course, it's best if I'm not discovered, so I can stay in the border city all the time, in fact, I like the prairie very much." ”
"Uh-huh!" the princess's beautiful eyes were full of little stars.
The two of them continued on their way, trying to find the best spot for a picnic, and before they knew it, they were already miles deep into the col.
No way, when two perfectionists are together, the requirements for the environment will naturally be higher.
Roar......
A strange wind sounded, and Medina said, "How can there be such a big wind in the col?"
Xiao Houye's face tightened: "Your parents are right." ”
"Ah, what do you mean?" said the princess, not understanding.
He explained: "There is indeed a powerful beast here, I estimate that the level is above the mysterious beast! This is also the reason why we have not found footprints and horseshoe prints along the way, not that everyone does not like here, but that they are afraid of losing their lives!"
"Mysterious Beast!" Medina was frightened, and by now, she had only shot a few low-level spirit beasts with Xiao Chen's help.
She looked around and said, "While the beast hasn't come over yet, let's run quickly." ”
The little marquis shook his head: "The Xuan Beast can easily catch up with the horse, it has already sensed the arrival of the intruder, and will not let us go easily." I'll stay here to stop her, and you move to safety. ”
"It's definitely not too dangerous for you to stay alone. She shook her head.
Xiao Hou Ye smiled: "Don't worry, I have killed eleven kinds of ancient beasts in the forsaken realm, and there are countless modern beasts, but it is you, if you stay, it will distract me." ”
"Okay, then be careful, I'll wait for you outside. "Martina is a smart girl in ice and snow, she knows that her strength is too weak, and she can only drag Xiao Chen's hind legs and cause him unnecessary trouble, so she left very happily, not hypocritical at all.
When he talked about the eleven ancient beasts just now, his heart hurt for no reason, and a fluttering voice and smile involuntarily appeared in his mind, recalling what happened when they were in the Lost Realm.
"Piaopiao, are you alright?" he whispered to himself.
Roar......
A louder roar interrupted his thoughts, and at the same time reminded him that he was still in danger at the moment, and he must not be distracted.
With a thought in his mind, four leaf martial spirits appeared at the same time, as well as a gentian spear and a burnt dragon shield, and at this moment he was full of cavalry generals.
Boom...... Boom......
There was a slight tremor on the ground, and it could be judged from this that the Mysterious Beast's physique must be very large and robust, otherwise how could it have stepped out of such a heavy step.
Soon, a giant gray bear appeared in his sight.
Standing more than eight meters tall, the bear walks upright, covered with hair half a foot long, standing like steel needles, with its two front paws hanging naturally in front of it, and can see its nose, mouth and ears, but it cannot see where its eyes are.
With such a big head, it is impossible to find eyes, no wonder people like to call them bear blind.
Xiao Hou Ye frowned, such a big bear, I have never heard that a bear-like mysterious beast can grow so big, is it similar to the giant rat I met last time, is it a mutant variety?
The giant bear opened its mouth, revealing its sharp fangs.
Its fangs are characteristic, not one but two, one slightly forward, followed by a second hook-like backward
Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but gasp, it turned out to be an ancient ironback bear!
Because only ancient beasts can have such side-by-side fangs, but Piao Piao clearly said that there are only twelve ancient beasts in the world, how to explain the appearance of this guy in front of him?
