Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Caravan
"Anyway, the scenery of this world is very beautiful!" Lin Yiyi bit the white pine cone in her hand, and sighed while enjoying the roadside scenery.
The white pine cone was naturally given to them by the villagers, and I heard that this fruit grows on a white pine tree that is ten meters high, has a lot of water, and tastes like a pear, Lin Yiyi unceremoniously stuffed the entire backpack.
"It's not yet in the industrial age, it's not polluted, and of course it's a pure natural beauty." Zhao Ziyu said.
They set out in the morning, and now it was almost noon, and the golden wheat fields were no longer visible, and they marched north along the overgrown dirt road, with the lush woods on the right and the open plains and meadows on the left, and the blue sky and the clouds forming a beautiful landscape like an oil painting.
The scenery is good, the mood is naturally good, Lin Yiyi likes natural scenery very much, she always carries her bags away from the crowd, and goes to those undeveloped places that are inaccessible.
The panic of the three newcomers when they encountered the beast tide yesterday has long been gone, and now they have changed to a happy mood, looking at the flowers and trees around them, and taking pictures with their mobile phones from time to time, I just hate that I can't post them on Moments now.
Mu Lan's eyebrows frowned slightly, the world of reincarnation is not an easy amusement park, the main god will always use almost harsh means to force them to struggle for survival, and this B-level team competition copy should be the most difficult one she has ever experienced, which also involves three groups of battles, the other two teams may have seized the opportunity, she can't relax at all.
Mu Lan saw a few small points of light in her detection spell, which were very close, and she shared the positions of these points of light with the other three with a telepathic link.
"Warcraft?" Lin Yiyi took the last bite of the white pine cone, threw the core at random, and then looked at the position guided by Mu Lan.
At a distance of more than thirty meters to the southwest of them, several white figures quickly disappeared on the grass.
"Rabbit?" Lin Yiyi squinted at that position, and then silently took off the bow and arrow behind her back.
"Probably not." Mu Lan shook her head and said, in her spiritual power perception, it was a few clusters of spherical creatures with an irregular shape.
The unknown creature reappeared, it should have been in the hole just now, and Lin Yiyi finally saw what it was.
"It's ...... Slime? Lin Yiyi said in surprise.
In Mu Lan's perception, the three white creatures were like amoebae, sometimes turning into four-legged, sometimes sticking to the grass and crawling like worms, indeed like the slimes described in the fantasy.
"It turned out to be a disgusting slug!" Lin Yiyi pouted, putting down the bow and arrow that had just been raised, this weak creature was not worth her precious arrows.
As if feeling the murderous aura, the three slimes shrank into an oval sphere and hurriedly jumped back into the hole.
"Let's go!" Lin Yiyi took out another white pine cone and took a bite, and said casually.
The team was about to continue their journey north, but Mu Lan saw something unusual, she looked southwest in the direction of the slime, and several black vultures were hovering in the sky.
"Wait!" Mu Lan said immediately.
The other people didn't know what Mu Lan was going to do, and looked at her with inquiring eyes, Shi Zhengyang saw Mu Lan's demeanor change, and didn't dare to despise it, and immediately asked her what she found.
Mu Lan looked at Lin Yiyi and pointed to the vulture in the distance, there were only a few small black dots in her eyes, only Lin Yiyi, who had strengthened her eyesight, could see more specifically, "Look at the vulture over there, can you see what is happening on the ground in that direction?" ”
Lin Yiyi squinted her eyes again when she heard this, and after a while, her pupils contracted, and her expression became serious, "I saw that in that direction, there was a black smoke rising at least ten kilometers away, a bit like it was on fire?" ”
Mu Lan couldn't see the details of that direction at all, but she keenly thought of something, the invasion of demonic beasts into the human camp? Or the Drotan barbarians? You must know that this is already the northern boundary, according to the description of the village chief, as long as you keep going north, there will be a continuous frozen mountain range, and that side is the territory of the Zhuo Ruitan barbarians.
"Let's go and see!" Shi Zhengyang understood Mu Lan's intentions and led the team to turn in that direction.
The closer Mu Lan is, the more she can see the black smoke, and she can vaguely see the appearance of many chariots and horses on the grass, Lin Yiyi said at this time: "It's like an attacked caravan." ”
The crowd hastened to the area, and after half an hour or so, they saw a caravan of more than thirty people and more than a dozen bantam horses, and the knights covered in black cloaks were attacking the caravan guards.
There were twenty-one black knights, and they besieged the caravan men, keeping moving while waving their swords.
The caravan escort was outnumbered, and in the face of these highly mobile cavalry, they could not even organize an effective resistance, and every attack was empty, but the cavalry easily harvested their lives.
When the team arrived, the corpses were already lying on the ground, and there were less than ten people alive in the caravan plus the guards, and the sudden appearance of the seven of them alerted the black knights, and the leader shouted at them with his sword.
The black-clothed knight divided ten horses and rushed towards everyone, the horse's hooves stepped on the ground to bring a killing formation, Lin Yiyi took off the bow and arrow behind his back, and Mu Lan also condensed a cloud of wind elements in his hand.
In less than thirty seconds, the ten horsemen had already rushed forward, Mu Lan could clearly see their figures, these people were not only wearing black cloaks, but also wearing metal masks on their faces, leaving only the peepholes in the eyes, the black cloak wrapped their chain mail, and the long sword was also nearly two meters long, this was actually a heavy cavalry unit.
"Gather your strength and punch!" Shi Zhengyang took the lead in making a move, he rushed forward and knocked down a war horse with one punch, the war horse fell to the ground and pressed the black-clothed knight under him, and the man suddenly screamed in pain.
Before he got close, he reduced one person, and the remaining nine black-clothed knights raised their long swords with a curse, Xu Lei was so frightened that she retreated again and again, hiding behind what she thought was safe, Zhang Hongzhuo was witty and didn't dare to stay away from Mu Lan.
Mu Lan's wind blade and Lin Yiyi's wind arrow shot out at the same time, and the two black-clothed knights fell off their horses in an instant.
The remaining seven knights finally approached Mu Lan and the others, but when the long sword stabbed at Mu Lan, it was blocked by the spiritual power shield, and the knight's long sword was so shocked that he almost couldn't grasp it steadily and fell to the ground.
"It's a magician!" Someone exclaimed.
"Get them to come and help!"
Lin Yiyi said with a smile: "It's late!" Then the arrow came out of the string, piercing the metal mask of the black knight who spoke, and the man was carried backwards by the force of the arrow of the wind, and the arrow flew out of the back of his head and flew into the distance.
