Chapter 166: Fox Clan Territory (II)

For the next three days, we stayed at the outpost on the border of this fox territory.

Three days later, the Fox Temple's guardians arrived at the outpost to welcome Ambassador Erica back to the capital.

The temple guardian warriors of the fox clan are indeed a little taller and more athletic than ordinary soldiers, but they are too thin and small compared to us minotaurs.

During these three days, Ambassador Erica's body slowly recovered.

Again and again, Priest Atayal and Priest Filip refused to be invited by Ambassador Erica.

Eventually, before leaving, Ambassador Erica gave us a lot of gifts for the escort team, which were loaded directly on a Kodo cart.

Moreover, Ambassador Erika also specially gave me a set of close-fitting inner armor, which can be worn under the Guardian Warrior's leather armor to enhance a certain amount of protection.

It can be seen that this set of light and close-fitting inner armor is made of some kind of animal skin, but with a very delicate process.

Leo said: "This is an important plot task, since I have received the martial arts taught by the predecessors, of course, I have to attach a set of good equipment, and the harvest of this trip can be regarded as complete!" ”

I don't know where he came from so many strange arguments, but it's quite comfortable to listen to, after all, the "plot development" he said before has basically been realized, and my current strength has risen a lot.

It's just that he said with some regret: "I've completed a big task, and then I should borrow some small tasks to farm monsters and familiarize myself with new skills...... However, looking at the urine nature of this world, it is estimated that there will be no fight for a while......"

"Wouldn't it be nice not to fight?" I say.

Feeling the envious eyes of my partners, I unceremoniously accepted this set of inner armor made by the fox craft.

Ambassador Erica then followed the Fox Temple Guardians out of the outpost.

And we, too, left the outpost and turned all the way east along the river where the fox territory meets the Three Rivers Mountains, and returned from the junction of the two clans downstream.

The road is not close, and it will take at least five days to walk back to the stone bridge where we entered the Three Rivers Mountains.

Priest Atayal and Priest Fili sat in the Kodo cart loaded with thanksgiving, and we still maintained the formation of the sanitation cart and walked all the way.

But this time, there was no curtain on the car, and Atayal Priest was always in our sight, and I felt much more comfortable.

Leo said, "That's right, the curtain is closed all day, who knows what to do inside?" ”

As soon as I heard this, I was not happy: "What nonsense are you talking about! ”

"No......" Leo pretended to be innocent.

I'm actually quite happy in my heart.

"Rest assured, she already has your shadow in her heart...... "Leo continued, "there will always be opportunities." ”

Hearing this, my heart felt a little more relaxed.

"By the way, did you figure out that bullet time skill?" Leo asked again.

Bullet Time is the name Leo gave to the skill that slows down time.

I didn't like the name originally, after all, the Chinese word "bullet" he used was a bit inexplicable.

However, I couldn't help his soft grinding and hard foam, so I agreed to him.

Actually, I originally wanted to come up with a name like "time slowdown" or "time freeze", but it felt a little weird, so I didn't stick to it.

"Presumably, after activation, time will be slower than ten times," I said, "but as long as you touch someone else, even if it is indirect, the effect of the skill will be removed." ”

"But as you said, you were in contact with Monica when Chloe jumped out of Monica's shadow and attacked you, which is a bit unclear," Leo said, "Why don't you try it now?" ”

"There are so many people now......" I said.

"It's just a lot of people," said Leo, "come on, come on, try your hand at scalpers first!" ”

I was also in the mood to reach out and press Dole on the shoulder.

"Hmm......" Dole turned his head in confusion.

It was at this moment that I launched "bullet time".

Then, Dole's movements between turning his head and opening his mouth slowed down by a factor of ten.

At this time, a bug flew by, and I touched the bug's wing.

Bullet time is not lifted!

It's, it's weird!

I had an idea and put the bug on Dore's shoulder.

Time is still flowing slowly.

"Hmm-"

Dole's voice was infinitely elongated, like practicing his voice.

I took the initiative to undo bullet time.

"Huh?" This puzzled inquiry was finally uttered by Dole in its entirety, "Bihon, what's wrong?" ”

"Uh, you've got a bug on your shoulder!" I pinched the worm and said.

"Oh, it's nothing......" Doll didn't care.

"It's really unhygienic...... "how is it?" said Leo. ”

I threw away the bug and said, "Touching this bug has no effect, the speed of time has not changed." ”

"Oh?" Leo said, "It seems that you have to run into a relatively large creature?" Then, try again with the totem warrior next to you. ”

"Okay!" I was afraid that I didn't even think about it, so I agreed again.

This time, I first pressed the totem warrior's shoulder, and the moment he turned his head, I fired the bullet, and then, I grabbed two more bugs and put them on their shoulders.

The moment the second bug landed on Dole's shoulder, the effect of bullet time was lifted.

"What are you doing?" Dole asked.

"Bihon, what's wrong?" The totem warrior also asked.

"There's bugs!" I say.

"Leave him alone," Dole flicked his tail, "there are so many bugs, can you catch them?" ”

"Okay, okay!" I threw the bugs away and spread my hands.

"Hmm, how's it going?" Leo hurriedly asked.

"It really only works for the big ones." I say.

"Again, try the Kodomon." Leo encouraged me again.

"Still coming?" I'm getting a little impatient.

"This is a life-saving skill, how can you do it if you don't practice it?" Leo was full of words.

"Okay......" I said.

Then, I walked over to a Bloodhoof soldier and patted him on the shoulder, firing the bullet time.

This time, I caught a slightly larger flying insect.

Honestly, there are a lot of flying insects here......

Then, I reached for the Kodomon pulling the cart.

I touched the rough skin of Kodomon, and the flow of time returned to normal.

"Well, Lord Bihon?" The Bloodhoof soldiers looked at me puzzled.

"There's bugs!" I pinched the bug and said.

"Oh, thank you!" The soldier said.

"Poof!" The Kodo beast on the side snorted dissatisfiedly, and his body paused.

The car paused as well.

"Tickle ......," Kodomon said suddenly.

It's been a long time since I've used the druid skill of communicating with animals, and when I heard it suddenly, I was a little surprised, and casually said, "Don't make trouble!" ”

Kodomon was immediately honest.

"What's going on, Bihon?" Atayal Priest suddenly poked his head out and said.

"Nothing, Atayal Priestess!" I hurriedly said, "There are so many bugs here, and the Kodo beast is a little uncomfortable. ”

"Please be careful," said the priest of Atayal, "that some bugs are poisonous to Kodomon. ”

"Okay, don't worry!" I say.

In addition to familiarizing myself with the new ability, Bullet Time, I also took the time to fix the Black Bronze Wood Shield and Hammer.

During the battle, the hammer didn't actually take too many injuries, after all, most of the attacks were actually taken by the shield.

I'm already pretty skilled in repairing shields, but I'm not going to say it..., after all, it seems that druid skills are rarely used in combat now.

Leo's interest shifted to something else—the Sumeru bracelet that Feiyun Dao's predecessors had left me.

"In addition to the bullet time skill, this is your biggest life-saving dependence!" Leo tried hard to suppress his excitement, and said solemnly, "The Sumeru bracelet, placed in your world, I am afraid that the main patriarch or the leaders of other orc clans can afford to use it, and on the side of humans and elves, it is only available to magicians or powerful warriors, and, if I guess correctly, its name should be called a space bracelet or something......"

"You're saying that only the strongest deserve it?" I looked at the place where the Sumeru bracelet disappeared and asked strangely.

To be honest, the pattern of the Sumeru bracelet has been hidden under the skin, and if I don't pay attention to it, I will forget that there is such a magical bracelet here.

"Use it with care, and put the most important things in it," said Leo, "and as for those that are commonly used, don't always take them in and out, lest they be discovered, and that's a sin!" If you don't have the strength, you can only die if you have it! ”

Hearing how serious he was, I also put away the idea of trying out this magic bracelet myself.

For the rest of the trip, the priests of Atayal would chat with us when they were resting, and the whole team was much more lively than when they came.

Of course, Priest Filip still likes to stay in the car and doesn't come out much.

Antar and Hicks also occasionally joined in the chat, but Anta didn't talk much, but they both loved Hicks and were a lot more cheerful.

Along the way, we soon reached the lower reaches of the easternmost part of the Three Rivers Mountains.

This is the place where the territory of the fox and the minotaur meets, and it is also the place where the rivers meet, and it is also a small port.

It is said that the traitor Karl's men would sail into the sea from here and trade with centaurs and other races.

We crossed the river by the ferry of the fox clan, but did not meet Karl's men.

It took five round trips for the ferries to get us all to the other side, and three of them were used by the Kodo Beast Car—one to carry the gifts above, one to carry the wagons, and the last to carry the Kodomon.

And just like that, we returned to the Minotaur territory.
