The five-fold speed running bonus made the injured Lin Chi run extremely fast, and he had already rushed out more than a hundred meters in the blink of an eye, and before he could see the appearance of the monster, he had successfully escaped from the other party's tracking.

Hiding in the dense jungle, listening to the sound outside, and not hearing any footsteps, Lin Chi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hoo ......"

The dull pain in his chest seemed to hurt even more after a burst of heavy breathing.

After hiding in the woodland for a while, and making sure that the other party was not chasing him, Lin Chi finally returned to the main road and moved towards Helgen.

At this time, he had walked three kilometers away from the wooden house where Moriya was hiding. But judging by the road that stretched into the distance, there was no sign of reaching Helgen for a while.

"Hmm......"

Lin Chi thought about it, but decided to walk another kilometer, and if he hadn't been able to reach Helgen, he would turn back immediately.

Now that I still have injuries on my body, it is indeed not safe to go alone, and it is better to move at night.

In order to avoid possible soldiers on the road, Lin Chi chose to walk through the forest next to him this time. But he soon realizes that the forest is not so safe either:

"Huh?"

Seeing a faint metallic luster flashing under the fallen leaves, Lin Chi tentatively stabbed it with the tip of the Dark Sword.

Click!

The crisp sound of the mechanism as it was triggered vibrated his eardrums, and a jagged trap slammed shut, gripping the blade of the Dark Sword.

With a wave of his hand, Lin Chi easily destroyed the trap and turned it into scrap metal.

- Was this a trap set by the hunters, or by the Imperial soldiers and the Royal Guard?

Looking at the shattered trap, Lin Chi looked down at his feet, and immediately left the dangerous woodland and returned to the road.

If it is a trap set by a hunter, in order to increase the success rate of the hunt, it should not be set separately.

Although the Dark Sword can easily destroy the clamp, with the bite force of that thing, if you clamp your own leg, you will definitely not be able to get the pinched foot.

Lin Chi, who often breaks his hand in the game, is naturally very aware of the impact of the disability DEBUFF on combat effectiveness. As for the monster that was trapped, what happened to it......

"Whew......"

The sound of animal chirping sounded in the woodland in front of him, and Lin Chi turned around and walked in the direction from which the sound came.

Swinging his sword to cut through the two traps on the ground, he found the source of the sound:

A little wolf with snow-white fur, less than fifty centimeters in length, was crawling on the ground and wailing, and the clamped right leg was bleeding non-stop, staining the grass below.

"This picture...... Have I seen it in any other games? ”

Lin Chi complained, and then decisively raised the dark sword and swung it hard at the little wolf.

After the crackling sound, the trap was directly cut by the dark sword, and the little wolf who was free from the restraint immediately jumped out, sticking out his tongue and licking the wound on his leg.

"Goodbye." Lin Chi waved his hand at the cute carnivore.

"Whew."

The little wolf raised his head, looked at Lin Chi with his blue eyes open, made a friendly sound, and then limped into the forest.

Seeing the little wolf leave, Lin Chi was about to leave, but he heard a loud shout behind him:

"Poachers! Don't move—"

Before the other party's words were finished, Lin Chi, who had turned on the "touch", had already run away again, leaving only the silver-armored soldier with a confused face, standing on the road with a short sword.

Shocked by the astonishing speed of the other party's escape, the soldier was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses, and said to the herald behind him: "Immediately inform the garrison of Helgen, and say that there are dangerous people here." ”

"But I can't outrun him......" The herald hesitated.

"Go!" The soldier shouted.

The herald was frightened and ran to Helgen.

Looking at the back of the herald leaving, and looking back at the other soldiers behind him, the silver-armored soldier's expression was solemn, and he muttered in a low voice:

"With Auguste here, there shouldn't be a problem......

At the same time that the herald was running wildly, Helgen's execution ground was exceptionally "quiet and peaceful" at this time.

On the wooden platform on which the prisoners were executed, there were traces of blood left for an unknown amount of time, and not far away was a stone tower with a large sturdy lock hanging from the metal door.

The "Dark Knight" riding a skeletal war horse was standing on the side of the execution ground, his body was obviously much thinner than normal, and the dark armor on his body kept making hollow crashing sounds.

If Lin Chi was here, he would definitely immediately find out that this guy was somewhat similar to the "roaring zombie" he had just encountered. However, compared to zombies devouring human corpses, this knight seems to be a strictly self-controlled type, and doesn't seem to do anything like that.

Twenty-four silver-armored soldiers were divided into two teams to practice their swordsmanship in the open space in front of the execution ground, which was also used as a training ground when there was no execution work.

"Carremont, you're in the wrong position!" Under the black knight's rusty helmet, a hoarse voice with a dead air floated out: "Don't raise the sword too high, the enemy will stab you directly!" ”

"I'm sorry, Lord August!" The reprimanded soldier immediately changed his posture.

"You don't want to roast here, right, so hurry up and finish it with standard moves!" August, who is a zombie, seems to be more energetic than the human soldiers present: "Hurry up, I haven't eaten yet!" ”

"Eat corpses...... "Carremont muttered.

"What did you just say?" August's voice was low.

"Didn't say anything, sir!" Carremont hurriedly replied.

"Don't let me hear you mutter, hurry!" August impatiently gave the order.

The pitch-black armor obscured every inch of his skin, making the commander look particularly mysterious. Under such a "majestic" instructor's order, the trained soldiers also worked extremely hard, and did not dare to make any moves to paddle and fish.

"Well, yes, that's it......"

August nodded in satisfaction, as if sensing something, and his body suddenly turned to the woodland southwest of Helgen.

At this time, Lin Chi had just arrived nearby, and he happened to be lurking in a bush, checking the scene on the execution ground:

"That monster is also a member of the Royal Guard?"

Lin Chi noticed the unusually conspicuous knight at first glance, and then immediately noticed that the other party was also looking in his direction.

Two seconds later, red text lit up from the side of the Black-Armored Knight, along with the skull mark, indicating his identity:

August, the Guardian of the Terror, is a heroic NPC (boss level), unrecruitable.
