After I have a little baby at home, I am now revolving around the little guy, and what is even more sad is that it seems that the responsibility of taking care of this little guy is not handed over to the old man as I expected before, but on me! I'm trying to transform into a level of dad, but I'm really sleepy! ――
The sad dad who didn't sleep at night passed by-
"Smack!" On the rickety carriage, Xu Fei's waist suddenly heard a crisp sound, and Xu Fei, who was reading a book by relying on the carriage, showed a confused expression on his face, but then his face became very ugly when he saw the broken gem on his waist.
"There's someone from behind!" Xu Fei said in an extremely strict voice in the team channel, although his tone was strict, there was not much content. Because the communication gem on the waist can only transmit a magical signal that something passes by within twenty kilometers, maybe it is a beast that touches the magic array, maybe it may be a tree branch, but it is more likely that it is a person. Because the communication magic array arranged by Xu Fei was on the road, the beast would not wander around the road in the forest if it was fine.
The most important thing is to prevent the magic array from being touched at will, wasting the communication gem mechanism that Xu Fei had managed to keep, and this communication magic array was arranged under the ground by Xu Fei and Huang Dao. Only when a great weight falls on it will the magic circle be touched. Xu Fei and Huang Dao worked hard to adjust, and even used a few magic crystals found in the loot to set up such a rubbish teleportation magic array. As for why it's garbage, because this magic array can only be stored for less than 12 hours if it is not touched.
At the same time, the detection range of the magic array is extremely small, and a valuable communication stone must be attached. For Chen Kai at this moment, even if they will no longer have financial problems due to lack of money in a short period of time, the days of hundreds of thousands of gold coins in their hands are completely gone. Therefore, it is impossible to lose a communication stone worth tens of thousands of gold coins, but it is worth it compared to the information obtained.
"How far?" Chen Kai turned his head to look at the edge of the forest that was already in the distance, they were surrounded by endless meadows, and the color of the grass gradually changed from emerald green to gray and yellow as they got farther away from the forest.
"At least fifteen kilometers!" Xu Fei's words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Fifteen kilometers is a long distance, but if you have a good line of sight, you may be able to see it from a slightly higher hillside. Of course, if you want to say that it is close, it is definitely not close, especially at a distance of fifteen kilometers under the forest terrain, even if it takes more than ten minutes for a war horse to gallop.
"Fourth! Inform that stubborn old man of Sabenin! Someone behind us will let him decide for himself whether to turn around or continue on his current path! Chen Kai said to Fei Yun, who jumped off the carriage, and then directly summoned Lal to jump up.
"Boss! Where are you going? Zhao Tiezhu couldn't help but ask a question when he watched Chen Kai jump up and down, but then he closed his mouth, because no matter what angle he looked at, Chen Kai was heading towards the forest, which meant that he was now ready to take the risk to check on the so-called people in the forest.
"Stay safe yourself! If the situation is not right, protect those black dwarves and retreat first! As for the gray dwarves! … Let them fend for themselves! This is Chen Kai's voice in the team channel, he doesn't dare to shout like this openly, and if he shouts like that, he will definitely be hostile to those gray dwarves.
"Let's go! Ral! With the loud neighing of Ral, the huge horse's hooves stomped heavily on the grass that still carried a hint of greenery. The sturdy hooves crushed the blades of grass into scattered splinters and sap. At the same time, Ral's body was wearing a golden vest that exuded a charming luster in the sun, while the bear skin on Chen Kai's body was much more ugly. However, this bear skin is also something that Chen Kai can wear now, and the bear skin is decorated with pieces of iron that are extremely strong to enhance the defensive strength of this simple version of bear skin armor. Chen Kai also wore a heavy horn helmet on his head, and the helmet was decorated with several thick iron pieces or iron plates to prevent Chen Kai's head from being shot directly.
Dressed like this, Chen Kai's figure looks like a barbarian, evading like a Templar Knight, and the most important thing is that the outfit on his body is extremely out of tune with the war horse under his crotch, as if he is a humanoid giant ape riding on a handsome war horse. There is a great incongruity between the two, but Chen Kai doesn't care how bad his image is now, it is important for him that the equipment can save his life. It's just that Chen Kai knows very well how low the defense of this bear skin armor on his body is, if it weren't for those iron skins, maybe just a knife could pierce the bear skin he wore on his body. If they encounter the archer who attacked them before. Even those iron sheets could not resist an arrow from several kilometers away.
Chen Kai knew very well that he must not step into the forest, because if the archer did not die, then the result of stepping into the forest would be unlucky. Chen Kai could imagine that his head was easily pierced by that kind of feather arrow, even if the helmet was decorated with iron pieces, it would definitely not be able to stop the terrible arrow. However, Chen Kai felt that the archer was estimated to have died under the terrifying lightning, although in his heart he still had a feeling that the other party was still alive. But sometimes it's better to think about things for the better than to worry about them all day.
Lal's degree was very fast, and almost before the muscles of his whole body were fully activated, Chen Kai was already about to reach the edge of the forest. When he was close to the edge of the forest, Chen Kai grabbed the reins of Lal and quickly jumped down from Lal's upright body. Almost as soon as he scurried into the forest, Ral had been taken into the pet space. The whole movement is as smooth as the clouds and water of the peers. It's just that his huge body makes him move like a bloated bear. Of course, with a flash of green light, Chen Kai's body suddenly shrank in a large circle, relying on He Liwen's shrinking scroll, he could maintain a body activity that was half a head higher than that of an ordinary human for more than ten minutes. Of course, the bear leather armor on his body was directly stuffed into his backpack by Chen Kai. And he himself put on a fairly fine leather armor while changing out of the bear leather armor.
The dark green leather armor gave Chen Kai's body a natural protective color when he walked into the forest, but as long as his body moved, he would be seen immediately. After all, forests are not dark green, especially during the day.
Of course, Chen Kai doesn't think that his skin can allow him to avoid being revealed, he just hopes that he can be revealed later. After changing into leather armor, Chen Kai slowly touched the depths of the forest with his scout skills that he was not skilled at all, in fact, this kind of reconnaissance was best done by Fei Yun. However, due to the problem last time, Chen Kai still decided to come over and carry out this dangerous thing by himself. After all, he has rough skin and thick flesh, and he is more resistant to beating, unless he is directly hit by someone, otherwise he can successfully run away with his own ability.
Due to its proximity to the edge of the forest, the trees throughout the forest are not dense. And what made Chen Kai feel uneasy was the unusual silence in the forest, with no birds calling or the neighing of wild beasts. Even when they passed by before, at least some birdsong could be heard, but now there is not even the sound of crickets, let alone birdsong. The silence of the forest made Chen Kai feel very uneasy, he subconsciously withdrew his imminent foot, and then curled up behind a low bush.
Chen Kai tried hard to curl up his body, and now he regretted that he was too big. Because if Fei Yun was here, he could easily shrink into the shadows by shrinking his body behind the bushes, and now he could only hope that he could curl up as much as possible to avoid possible detection. It's just that regret is useless, Chen Kai can only try to control his breath now, and then recall in his mind what Fei Yun, a thief, would do if he was in the current situation. It's just that he quickly realized that this kind of memory was useless, because Fei Yun was a thief and he wasn't. He may not be able to use skills that thieves can use. The most important thing is that he has not been specifically trained in scouting skills.
"! This kind of thing is really unreliable! Chen Kai kept thinking about it in his head, and then regretted his impulsiveness, but he still lay on the ground, leaning his ears on the ground and listening to the movements around him. The vibrations of the ground in his ears gradually grew from far to near, and finally became the soft sound of horses' hooves. Chen Kai is very familiar with this kind of sound, it is the sound that only occurs when a large number of war horses move, and these sounds are extremely dense like the ticking sound of raindrops falling on the ground. However, this ticking sound soon turned into a dense drum beat, constantly hitting Chen Kai's ears.
In less than ten seconds, Chen Kai jumped up from the ground and ran wildly towards the edge of the forest. Chen Kai knew very well that his behavior was definitely a way to expose his target, but he knew even more that if he didn't jump out and run away, then there would only be one next time, and that would be death. Although he had no way of judging the number of cavalry on their horses. But he knew very well that it was definitely not a small amount. Because the sound of these horses' hooves is extremely close to the sound of horses' hooves that he heard when he had the black-armored cavalry he had at the beginning, but compared to the black-armored cavalry that Chen Kai was trained by Drake, these cavalry were obviously a little chaotic, at least the sound of the horses' hooves was more chaotic, not the dense horse's hooves that he had been trained. No matter how chaotic the sound of horses' hooves was, it was thousands of cavalry, but thousands of pigs, so Chen Kai could only choose to jump out of the bushes and escape. Instead of huddling there and waiting to die.
Almost the moment Chen Kai jumped out of the bushes, those masked cavalry in the forest appeared to him, and it was the archers in the cavalry who attacked. In fact, they were not regular armies, but horse thieves and bandits operating in the Great Western Wilderness. Their purpose in attacking these dwarves was simple: to loot. For they had heard that the dwarves carried large sums of wealth in wagons, and that it was the archer who had brought the horse thieves into the forest. The archers hidden in the bushes did not shoot feathered arrows at Chen Kai, of course, not because his quiver was empty, but because he didn't want to help these masked horse thieves at all.
He only cooperated with these horse thieves because he needed them to slow down the dwarves. Even if all these horse thieves died, he would not be sad in any way. Although he was surprised by Chen Kai's appearance, he didn't make any moves, in fact, he wished that Chen Kai would pass on the news of these horse thieves back and let the dwarves spend more time running for their lives in the wilderness, thus delaying time. Therefore, he did not attack Chen Kai, but chose to pull off the hood on his head and slowly disappear into the shadows of the forest.
However, even if this terrifying archer did not make a move, Chen Kai encountered a lot of attacks. Hundreds of feathered arrows fell towards his body like locusts, and since Chen Kai was unable to run with all his strength in the state of shrinking, although his degree was still very fast, he could only narrowly avoid those feathered arrows.
Dense feather arrows kept falling from Chen Kai's back, nailing them to the ground and tree poles. Chen Kai could hear very clearly not only the sound of arrows burrowing into the wood, but also the swishing sound of feather arrows breaking through the air. Each of the falling feather arrows almost hit Chen Kai's body, but in the end, he narrowly avoided them.
"You bunch of shit! Shoot him for me! Shoot him! Just when Chen Kai was glad that he had escaped this wave of feather arrows and was about to continue to run wildly. An extremely angry voice came from behind him.
"Grass! Lao Tzu recruited you to provoke you! Chen Kai felt the urge to give the middle finger to the owner of the voice, but he quickly turned this impulse into the motivation to run wildly, because out of the corner of his eye, he saw thousands of feathered arrows bursting at him. These feather arrows even collided with each other in the air, and when they rushed over, Chen Kai felt that a dark cloud was rushing towards him.
In the face of such a dense number of feather arrows, Chen Kai's only choice was to retract behind a big tree on the side, listening to the dense aggressive sound on the tree pole, he didn't know how many feather arrows were stuck in the tree pole behind him. But he knew very well that if these feathered arrows were stuck in himself, he could definitely shoot himself into meat sauce. Similarly, Chen Kai also knew that it was definitely not a way for him to shrink behind this tree, because those masked cavalry were surrounding his position. The longer he stayed in this place, the less safe it became, and in a matter of seconds he would be facing dozens of masked men. At the same time, as long as Chen Kai stays for a while, then the enemies he faces can be doubled, and the enemies that appear in front of him will change from tens to hundreds.
So after a hurried breather. Chen Kai ran straight forward, his body kept straight and was not exposed to the shooting range of those bows and arrows. However, after running less than ten meters, Chen Kai had to face the feather arrows that broke through the air again, and what frightened him was that as he got closer to the edge of the forest, the trees became lower and sparser, and as a result, the difficulty of his dodging feather arrows began to soar.
Now Chen Kai is facing two paths, that is, continue to run to the periphery of the forest, then the result is a word death, and hiding in the forest is also a word death. Because facing the bow and arrows on the open grassland, Chen Kai didn't think that his phantom steps would allow him to dodge the attack of thousands of arrows. But when he saw his pet badge, he suddenly had an idea. Although the idea may not necessarily be successful. But Chen Kai still wanted to gamble.
"It's up to you! Downey! Chen Kai shook the pet badge in his hand, and the flying dragon who had been sleeping in the pet space was summoned by him. Although the size of the flying dragon is not enough to carry Chen Kai to fly, as long as he blesses himself with the wings of the Battle Angel, he can obtain a temporary levitation effect. Even if the effect was short-lived for a few seconds, it was enough for Downey to fly hundreds of meters into the air and glide for thousands of meters.
"Woo~~~" when the loud dragon roar sounded. Donnie's massive body flew out of the pet space. At the moment Donnie appeared, Chen Kai directly moved the wings of the Battle Angel and then grabbed Donnie's claws with one hand. The moment his claws were caught, Donnie felt that his body had become very heavy, because although Chen Kai was under the control of the reduction technique, his weight had not become much lighter. Until the golden wings in the sky appeared. Chen Kai's body became lighter under the effect of the levitation technique, and then Donnie dragged Chen Kai into the sky in an instant.
"Fly... Dragon!! "Those masked cavalry felt a dragon power when Donnie appeared, although the dragon power was very thin, but it directly made the war horses under the crotch of those cavalry who were approaching Chen Kai begin to turn into soft-footed shrimp. Some timid horses even appeared under the feces and urine. Then the situation of four hooves slumping on the ground. Because of this, Donnie will not be greeted by the feather arrow when he takes off, otherwise Donnie's huge body will definitely be attacked by the feather arrow at the first time.
"Keep shooting for me! It's just an underage wyvern, you idiots! Look at the good things you have done, you actually let such a good wyvern go for me! Seeing Chen Kai rising into the air, the leader of the masked people roared loudly, but this roar seemed very weak. Because when he roared, Donnie had already flown his wings and soared into the sky to an altitude of nearly a thousand meters, and Chen Kai was extremely frightened at the moment grabbing Donnie's claws with one hand, as soon as he let go, he would carry out a free fall movement, and then create a pile of meat on the ground.
When Donnie flew nearly two thousand meters into the air, Chen Kai could no longer maintain the floating effect of the Battle Angel Wings on his body. He could only grab Donnie's claws hard and let Downey glide into a gliding position. Feeling the weight of his master under his body suddenly become several times heavier, Donnie's movement of waving his wings became difficult, and he could only try to spread his wings to avoid falling from the sky with his master. The spread of his wings allowed Donnie to take Chen Kai and begin to slowly fall downward, but the process of this fall was slow and in a gliding manner. It's just that the gliding degree is a little fast, but no matter what, Chen Kai is still out of danger.
"Finally got a life back! Thank you! The little guy is going back to give you extra food!! Chen Kai patted his chest, and in response to his words was Donnie's somewhat labored hiss. Although it is now a relatively labor-saving gliding mode, after all, Chen Kai's huge weight needs to be borne by Donnie's wings, so even if he doesn't wave his wings, Downey will have a hard time.
