Chapter 24: The Journey 2
After entering the southern border, the climate became much warmer.
The northern region is sparsely populated, and there are no pedestrians to be seen along the way. However, once you reach the southern region, you can encounter some caravans on the way. Although Su Ziyu has a map in his hand, he may not be able to recognize the road by relying on the map alone in this era, fortunately, he can meet some caravans on the road, and he can still ask how to get there.
But good fortune would not always favor him, and on the morning of the sixth day of Su Ziyu's journey to the royal capital, the horse he had obtained from the barbarians fell tired.
The horse endurance in this world is very good, and the physique is also tall, but in the end, he can't stand the weight of Su Ziyu is too high, and the weight of an anti-materiel sniper rifle alone is enough to choke. He was also inexperienced, had no previous experience in horseback riding, and did not prepare enough forage for the road. For this long journey, the horses had to be fed with plenty of forage, eggs and beans and the like, and he basically fed grass all the way.
It's also a shame that this horse has good stamina, otherwise he would have fallen down a long time ago.
No way.
Su Ziyu could only release the horse and continue to drive with his things on his back.
There are more towns in the south, and he still has a lot of money anyway, so he plans to buy another horse when the time comes.
When it was time to really walk on his own legs, Su Ziyu felt really slow.
Fortunately, however, in the afternoon of the same day, he encountered a large caravan, and after paying the price of a silver coin, he succeeded in following the caravan on his way. The pack beast of the caravan is a rhinoceros-like dragon beast, large in size, rough skin and thick flesh, but very gentle in nature. The leader was a white-bearded old man with a three-cornered hat, a very shrewd-looking old fellow.
The most striking thing is the caravan guard.
All of these guards were tall and burly, at least about two meters in size, and the tallest one was even close to three meters.
At first, Su Ziyu thought he was a giant.
Later, I learned that he was only a half-giant, and the giants of this world were generally more than six meters tall, and some giants with special bloodlines could even grow to twenty or thirty meters. Of course, this is still not as good as the giant snake in York's mouth, which he said is so long that even an adult dragon can swallow it in one bite.
Considering that York likes to brag, Su Ziyu thinks that the giant snake is only one or two hundred meters at most.
This caravan was also preparing to go to the royal capital.
Su Ziyu was ready to follow them, so as not to waste more time when they had to make a detour.
The caravan was carrying fur specialties from the north, and these people were relatively silent, and did not communicate much along the way, except for the occasional curious gaze at the Suziyu. Although Su Ziyu wore a wide cloak on the outside, his outfit and weapons were still quite eye-catching.
Night falls.
"Let's camp and rest here." The old man at the head shouted.
Soon.
Everyone piled up the goods in a circle, some began to prepare food, others were responsible for feeding the pack animals.
"Did you hear that?"
"There is another war on the border."
"The Black Queen's minions have awakened. Many monsters ran out. "The guys were talking while eating.
During this time, Suziyu also learned a lot about the world.
The chessboard realm has a clear line between black and white, with the White Queen leading a kingdom of humans and the Black Queen ruling giants and monsters. The two sides have been fighting each other for thousands of years, and if the White Queen is not a title but a person, then this woman is a special being who has lived for at least a thousand years.
She is infinitely close to 'God' in the kingdom of men.
Su Ziyu quietly listened to the other people chatting, trying to gather more information about the world.
In fact, he now has some conjectures, but the most crucial evidence is missing.
"Be careful!"
"Something seems to be getting closer!"
Superman's perception gave Su Ziyu a sharper five senses, and he suddenly stood up and said to the others: "It seems to be a big guy!" ”
In the dark.
It was as if he had heard a voice like 'Boom'.
The others couldn't help but stand up when they heard this, and the guards even took up their weapons, and some of them seemed to hear the movement, and their expressions suddenly became quite uneasy.
"What the hell?"
"Everyone, be careful!"
As soon as the words fell.
A huge black shadow suddenly swam out, and then a huge snake head appeared in the dark, their heads were nearly one meter in diameter, with black snake scales, and a turbid dark yellow in the cold vertical pupils, the bodies of these giant snakes were extremely huge, and the length of their bodies alone exceeded thirty meters.
"Ahh
"The son of a devourer! Come on! ”
"Oh my God!"
"Why are they here?"
The whole caravan was chaotic at once, and the screams of pack beasts were heard in the darkness, and those huge dragon beasts seemed to be unable to resist, and they were bitten to death by these giant snakes at once.
"What's the situation? Why did so many giant snakes suddenly run out! Su Ziyu's expression was also very solemn.
He picked up his backpack and pulled out the black short blade on his waist, and suddenly swung the knife when a giant snake attacked, directly cutting a three or four meters long cut under its neck, and a large amount of fishy snake blood spilled down, the giant snake twitched its body frantically, and smashed the guy next to him who had no time to dodge into a puddle of flesh with a flick of its tail.
What is a nibder?
Are these giant snakes its offspring?
Minions of the Black Queen?
Didn't they say that they appeared at the border? Why there are also here!
All of a sudden, the situation became very critical.
The only people in the entire caravan who could pose a threat to these giant snakes were Suziyu and the half-giant, and the others were completely their food.
Bang!
Dull gunshots rang out.
A giant snake more than 30 meters long was directly shot in the head by Su Ziyu.
The vitality of these giant snakes is not too strong, and an anti-materiel sniper rifle can smash their heads with a single shot, but there are many of these giant snakes, at least a dozen of them, and there is a bigger guy on the dragon beast's side, and it was the one who first bit and killed the dragon beast with the size of an elephant.
"What now?"
"Withdraw?"
The dull sound of gunfire seemed to attract more giant snakes, and Su Ziyu suddenly felt a huge threat, he rolled over and dodged out, and then saw a giant snake spit venom spraying at his original location.
Zizizizi.
Venom appears to be very corrosive.
Su Ziyu's expression was quite hesitant at the moment, and his right hand was touching the pocket on his waist, and there was a Jet-03 in it.
Run or fight?
Can you run away? Can the war be fought?
Now there are still these caravan guards to help attract firepower, and if they are all wiped out, they will have no chance to fight again.
Some want to run away, some are fighting.
The scene was quite chaotic.
In the darkness, people were constantly being swallowed by the giant snake, and this caravan originally had more than a hundred people, and there were only dozens of them that could be seen at this time.
