Chapter 39: The Priest and the Thief
If Song Zheng knew that one day he would be more important than Gianna, maybe he would be a little proud.
But at this moment, he looked quite embarrassed, after hurrying through a dense forest after the rain, he was already covered in muddy water.
"It's really terrible to climb the mountain after the rain......" Song Zheng sneered in his heart, but under his feet was still walking towards the higher and more steep mountain range ahead.
In such a place that is difficult to climb on foot, those knights are naturally more difficult to reach, and in order to escape for his life, he is now willing to climb even a snowy mountain.
"I've already run so far, I shouldn't chase after him anymore......" Song Zheng didn't know how far he had escaped in one breath, and when his legs were almost gone, he gasped slightly and looked around to find a cave to rest.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of rustling in the dense forest ahead, and it seemed that someone was approaching.
Song Zheng immediately couldn't help but beat faster, and the speed at which the other party chased after him was a little too fast.
"That's not right...... It seems to be white, is it a snowman? Song Zheng rubbed his eyes so that he could see more clearly in the dark, but his feet had already begun to retreat.
He had no strength to run all the way, and more importantly, the gunpowder of the dwarven musket was still damp in the rain before!
Now he has almost no combat power at all.
But before he could take a few steps back, a white figure appeared in front of him as the dense leaves were lifted.
"Little Sally?" Song Zheng's eyes widened in disbelief, the white figure in front of him was slender and seductive, and it had absolutely nothing to do with the snowman.
"Song Zheng?! I've finally found you! "Sally. Whiteman's delicate little nose twitched, and a light flashed in his eyes, and he was about to burst into tears almost immediately.
Due to a lot of rain, the priest's robe on the girl's body was already soaked, and it was tightly attached to her body, revealing the girl's figure full of youthful temptation.
"Why are you here?" Song Zheng was extremely surprised, he didn't expect to meet Sally here. Whiteman, no matter how lost he was, it was impossible for him to run to Nanhai Town so quickly, the only possibility was that this little priest left Nanhai Town by himself!
"I ...... I'm here to train...... Well...... to hone your own. Little Sally quickly lowered her head.
"You can't sneak out alone, do you?" Thinking of Bridget's refusal to take little Sally out of the city before, Song Zheng immediately felt a big head.
Today's mountains and forests are too dangerous, not to mention Bridget's own poisoning, even Gianna, an incomparably noble person, has been hunted down here, and Sally, who has no combat effectiveness at all. Whitemane is here at this moment, and it is completely a sheep that has strayed into the wolves, and it is one of those little lambs!
"I'm not alone, Jimmy came with me, but he's lost...... I couldn't find him. Little Sally lowered her head and rubbed the corners of her clothes gently with her hands.
"I think you're lost, do you know how dangerous it is here?" Song Zheng was speechless for a while.
"I know...... I just wanted to follow you to help, who knew that there would be snow monsters on the way, and as a result, those merchants and adventurers all ran away, so we had to run along, and then ...... And then I was the only one left running and running. The little priest's voice sounded soft and glutinous, and it was hard to rise up a hint of reproach.
"Alright, don't say anything more now, come with me, it's too dangerous here, and Bridget is already in the Church of the Light in Tarummere." Song Zheng sighed, pulled her and hurriedly walked forward.
Although running away with this little priest at this moment would greatly slow down his speed, it was still impossible for Song Zheng to give up on her after all.
"Sister Bridget has arrived in Talenmere, huh? I thought you were all in the mountains, but are we going to Talenmere now? Little Sally hurriedly lifted the priest's robe, which was already soaking wet, and followed Song Zheng closely.
"Well, you have to get to Tarunmir as soon as possible, otherwise there is likely to be an enemy chasing you......," Song Zheng said as he touched the magic book in his arms.
The two of them hadn't gone far when there was another noise in front of them.
This time, it was the enemy who appeared, and it was the syndicate thief that Song Zheng was more familiar with.
"Phew, I was finally caught up by Lao Tzu, you kid can really run, and you run left and right, almost didn't exhaust Lao Tzu to death, huh...... There's even a pretty chick? You kid is quite good at enjoying it, and you still take a woman with you when you run for your life. The syndicate thief said viciously.
"Get behind me." Song Zheng whispered, and at the same time pulled Sally, who was full of nervousness, behind him.
He still seems to have underestimated the tracking ability of these syndicate thieves, after all, these guys originally lived in the Alterac Mountains, and their familiarity with this mountain forest was far higher than his.
If there is no Sally. Whiteman, maybe he could still force his 'sprint' skill to escape, but at this moment, he must not leave the helpless little priest here.
When they meet on a narrow road, they can only fight to the death.
"Cut, you still want to fight me because you can't stand on your feet now? Do you know that I'm the fastest of all the syndicates, or I wouldn't have been the first to catch you up, and I might have been able to give you a good time. The syndicate thief said with disdain, and even didn't bother to pull out the dagger on his waist, still looking at the two with a sneer.
"Speed...... Hmph, running fast doesn't necessarily mean being strong. ”
"Haha, I heard that you are also a thief, and you don't even know the importance of speed for thieves, as long as the speed is fast enough, I don't know even if I stab a dagger into your chest." The syndicate thief sneered.
"Really...... Like this? ”
Before Song Zheng could finish speaking, the person had already appeared in front of the syndicate thief, and the dagger in his hand had pierced into the other party's chest.
"You...... You...... How could it be so fast? The syndicate thief's eyes widened, and his hands tried in vain to stop the dagger from piercing further.
However, as the blood continued to gush out, his hands soon hung limply.
"I only thought of using this 'sprint' for escape before, but I didn't expect that it would be very effective for attack......" Song Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief, but after using that 'sprinting' skill, he almost exhausted the last bit of his physical strength, so much so that he couldn't help but fall to the ground as soon as he pulled out the dagger.
