Chapter 70: Training
Several times, Qin Yu wanted to fold off the beaks of those big birds to see if they could be used as weapons.
She followed Nain up a hill along the trail and walked a little further through the dense vines.
"It's here!" Naine stopped.
Qin Yu looked up, and there was an open field in front of him. Just like Nayinso—dry and clean, without the noisy sounds of birds.
In the clearing, there were a dozen creatures similar to Nain, presumably unnamed rebel fighters like themselves.
At this moment, Keith approached from a distance. It howled in a high-decibel voice, and a clattering sound was immediately heard in the distance.
When Qin Yu turned his head to look, he was almost stunned.
A large tree wriggled and came from a distance.
No, it wasn't a tree, it was some kind of giant creature that was good at disguised as a tree. Whether it's its iron-gray cracked skin, or a dozen or so arms that grow in a mess. Several of the arms also had broken branches waving on them.
"Dryads?!" Dumbfounded, Qin Yu shouted out the name.
The guy looked extremely hot-tempered, and rushed into the center of the field, swinging the branch in his hand at the rebel fighters, "Bang bang! The crash and the splash of foliage drifted away.
Instead of confronting the Treants, the Bussen warriors used their nimble body to dodge constantly.
Qin Yu felt like he was watching a circus performance. The person playing the big tree danced wildly with the whip in his hand, while the big rabbits kept jumping around the field, and even took the initiative to get closer to the tree.
What surprised her the most was that those big rabbits were surprisingly flexible, always bursting out with astonishing speed or changing their unbelievable posture in an unavoidable moment.
"This ...... Is it your training style?! Yu asked.
"Well, these treants are good sparring opponents. Keith just caught two recently. ”
"Catch?!"
"Yes, despite their size, they live in groups on the border of the forest. When Keith and I were around, we didn't spend a lot of time in those old nests. ”
"No wonder you're so flexible, especially Keith......"
"Well, in addition to the training he received in the Iron Wall Canyon, there is another reason for these treants. Of course, the more important reason is Keys's indomitable will to fight. This is the reason why the other Busen people are so far from catching up with it. ”
"You've finally learned to be humble, Nain." Qin Yu smiled.
As he spoke, Keith called out again. The Busen warriors jumped away from the Treants. Soon, each of them had an extra stick in their hands, crackling against the branches in the treants' hands......
The training lasted for half an hour, and the sturdy treants were subdued by a dozen Busen men and tethered to a nearby boulder.
A sharp-billed bird was pushed in front of the tree man, and was immediately strangled by one of its arms, and swallowed into its stomach.
After a short break, the Treant was released again. Once again, the rebel fighters are engaged in intense training...
A gray shadow fell rapidly from the sky, and after dodging Shu Rao's attacks several times, it slammed into Shu Rao's body and quickly retreated.
When the figure landed on the ground, Qin Yu recognized it as a stump and hissed.
The remnant wing flapped his wings and shouted at Qin Yu as well. The two exchanged excitedly, and it was obvious that they were happy from the bottom of their hearts.
……
Several guys who had met by the stream had reunited: Nayin, Remnant Wing, Keith, and Qin Yu. The only one who is not here is Li Ling.
Qin Yu was full of hope that when Li Ling returned from the Tiebi Canyon, everyone would get along as happily as they did now.
Perhaps, under the leadership of Keith, humans will really become friends with these alien creatures and live together in this vast world.
"It's not far away, it won't be too far, when Li Ling comes back, everything will develop according to the expected trajectory." Qin Yu thought expectantly.
……
"Stomp ......" Alma rode a wildebeest and slowly walked into the camp of the seventeenth team of the Black Knights, near the Blackmouth Swamp.
Because of Catherine's death, the camp looked a little dilapidated and chaotic. Some lay asleep in the camp without fear, others were dueling in the open space outside the camp, around whom they were gambling with the stakes they most commonly used to make mating orders—a rare currency that exempted them from obligations or enjoyed the right to choose.
No one noticed that Alma, the young knight they had sent out to spread the word, had returned.
Alma walked straight to the spacious room reserved for Knight Catherine, and sat down in a chair covered in soft fur. A faint scent of women wafted up and was inhaled along his nostrils.
Alma closed her eyes, intending to relax her sore muscles after the long journey, and to think about her next steps.
The chief of the black armor knight, although his rank is not high, is definitely Clara's henchman. Alma felt that he had found his calling in life, and he decided to preserve it at all costs.
It took half an effort before anyone noticed that Alma was sitting in his place where he shouldn't have been. Some began to point fingers, making whispers of discussion and schadenfreude.
Soon an old knight with a big beard spotted Alma with his eyes closed, and rushed up in a huff.
"Alma, get out of here and stand guard outside!" The bearded man's voice was as bright as a bell, and the waves of air from his mouth mixed with spittle fell on Alma's head and face.
"Bearded Kate?" Instead of being timid or angry, Alma defended as usual: "I just finished my last mission, and I haven't had time to rest yet!" ”
"Rest? A knight of low status like you is not entitled to rest at all. You should get out of your position as the chief knight and obey my orders!" ”
The bearded man shouted loudly, and the knights around him stopped what they were doing and turned their eyes to Liangrao.
The bearded Kate was used to showing off his might, and many people cast disgusted glances at him. But when they noticed the seat where Alma was lying, they were even more surprised and annoyed. Under a hierarchical system, any behavior that does not match one's status is despised and condemned by everyone.
Someone stepped forward and whispered a few words in Kate's ear.
Kate's beard curled, and when she turned to Alma again, a smile appeared on her rough face: "Alma, you and the other two knights went to report the battle to Her Highness Clara, why did you come back alone?" ”
"Dead."
"Oh, alas!" Kate frowned. "So, have you seen Her Highness Clara?"
Alma nodded.
