Chapter 897, Growing Pains

The night walk did not last long, at most 20 miles, and Lehman was no longer able to move. He leaned feebly against the pine trees on the side of the road, watching Xiao Yan and their actions as if they were not affected in any way. In the end, the adventurer could only sigh and say, "My God, I don't know when the body of the noble lord is better than the body of the adventurer. I don't even know when the priestess had such a powerful body. ”

Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's just because you're not religious enough to the Lord." ”

Quister wanted to express his admiration for Xiao Yan's words, but considering that Xiao Yan himself did not necessarily have any devotion to the Lord, he had to give up in the end. The priest's silence took Lehman as an approval, and the red-haired adventurer could only say, "Hey, I may never be able to do something as pious as you, sir." ”

Xiao Yan smiled and did not answer. He and Quister then found a place to rest, quickly set up their defensive positions, and then put the two little girls into the felt. After that, it was still as bright as ever. On summer Alpine nights, the light is obscured by the trees and cannot travel far. What's more, these rays do not emit heat or sound, which can minimize unnecessary trouble.

Lehman looked at Xiao Yan's actions and sighed, "Oh, the noble lord is indeed the noble lord, and adventurers like us will never have such treatment in their lives." ”

As he spoke, Lehman went up to the pine tree, and he cut the bark of the pine branches, and the faint smell of turpentine began to emanate around him. Mosquitoes and snakes were disgusted by the smell, and with this simple method, Lehman made his surroundings much cleaner. Subsequently. The red-haired adventurer tied himself to one of the pine branches with a rope. As the pine branches rise and fall in the wind. Lehman quickly fell asleep.

Xiao Yan glanced up at the adventurer, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

Morning in the mountains comes early, and the sky brightens up very early, but it takes a long time to see the sun. When Lehman woke up, Xiao Yan and the others had already begun to prepare for action, and it seemed to be very quiet last night. However, Lehman could smell a faint smell of blood, just like the smell of last night in the tavern. It was a peculiar smell of blood. It tastes very different from human blood. Although ordinary people may not be able to feel the difference, for adventurers, if they can't learn to feel the difference, they may step into the abyss of death in the next second.

This discovery made Lehman shudder, and he believed that there must have been a fight on the ground last night, and it was a relatively violent fight. The problem is, he doesn't know anything. Just as he can sense the difference in the smell of blood, Lehman is proud of his vigilance. Even in his sleep, he sensed changes within 50 yards around him. This vigilance has repeatedly prevented the adventurer squad from being put in danger. Even his companions, who had turned into nezumi, were amazed by this, otherwise they wouldn't have called him "Rayman of Action". However, with such a degree of vigilance, I didn't know anything about what happened last night. It can be seen that the strength of those people on the ground is completely beyond the scope of Lehman's comprehension.

Of course, this kind of judgment was too beautiful for Xiao Yan and them, and those rat people did catch up at night and did attack. But the problem is that these rat people didn't expect that Xiao Yan still had a domain, and there were too many facts at the bottom of the box on the young awakened person, so that in the end, the whole person became a black hole-like existence. Those rat people didn't expect that Xiao Yan had set up a warning circle with a radius of 100 yards this time, and when they didn't have enough long-range attack means, they rashly launched an attack. Next, Xiao Yan suddenly appeared among them. Xiao Yan, who had been in a forbearance attitude before, confirmed that the controllers would not make stricter judgments on his counterattack. Instantly unfolded its own field. Within 4 seconds, at least 40 rat-men were transformed into ice sculptures and eventually reduced to powder. Under such a ferocious attack, the other nezumi no longer had the courage to continue rushing up, and finally could only reluctantly retreat slowly.

These rat men definitely won't stop there, but Xiao Yan doesn't care about it. From Lehman, he not only knew that there was a griffin and a griffin's own slave city-state, but also that the griffin was quite xenophobic. Unless you agree to a deal with these griffons that you will become slaves if you lose, you can't get into the griffons' power at all.

In other words, as long as they can get within the griffon's power, they won't have to worry about the nezumi continuing to catch up, and the griffon can help them with these worries. After that, if you can really have a griffon as a mount, then the nezumi on the ground is even less of a problem.

Lehman led the team to the east, not the northeast as Xiao had planned. Originally, they would have followed the mountain trail to Linz in a few days, and from there they would have managed to cross the mountains on the border with Bulgaria and finally reach Stuttgart. But now these plans have been completely changed. Eventually, Xiao Yan and the others will waste more time entering the griffon's territory, and then see if the griffon's flight can make up for the lost time.

The rats did not give up their attack on Xiao Yan, and the temptation of the night continued, Xiao Yan estimated that he had consumed hundreds of thousands of gene points in the field, but such a silent battle could not dispel the greed of the rat people for the sisters.

And the out-of-the-box surveillance still exists, and even when the nezumi attack the team is seen, it doesn't change. As always, on the edge of Sylvia's precise judgment, calmly watched everything that was happening around the Awoken team.

Nolelle's growth rate was very fast, and in two days, her body had grown to the point of a girl of about twelve years old. As for physical development, it also began to show signs in her body. Luckily, Sylvia had a surplus of clothes, which were approved by the Tree of the World, and there was no difference in size, no matter how big Nolel grew, these clothes were very suitable. However, the disadvantages brought by Norel's growth are very obvious, the speed of the entire squad is constantly delayed, and Norel can no longer be held in his arms, and can only rely on his own feet to move. It was clear that the little girl could not keep up with the speed of the whole team, and the speed of the team had to catch up with Norel without a suitable vehicle.

Norel had not yet learned to adapt to her sudden changes, she became more panicked and silent, and she barely spoke to anyone except Sylvia. Of course, sometimes the little girl will also pull Xiao Yan's sleeve to add some security to herself. For such dependence, Xiao Yan also responded with a smile.

Leah is also a little uncomfortable with Norel's changes, and now when she is sober, the most common thing she does is to let Xiao Yan hold herself in her arms. Then he put his hands on his little fat face and looked at Norel, who was walking tiredly, without blinking. Of course, the little girl knew that the person who had changed a lot in height and appearance was her sister, but she couldn't imagine that her sister would change so much overnight. She was curious about them, and would often lie by Norel's side during breaks, teasing him with her hands, her mouth, or whatever she wanted. Whether Nolelle complains or talks, it will make Leah feel happy. It seemed to be Leah's own method, with which she was sure that it was her sister, and Nolelle had just changed her appearance, but she didn't leave there.

Nolelle loves her sister in her own way, and Leah is clearly loving her sister in her own way.

For three days, the team trekked for three full days, and on the third day, when the sun was about to set in the west, they climbed to the top of a mountain. It is a mountain at least 1,000 meters high, relatively steep, with no snow on the summit, but you can see the snow on the peaks in the distance. The sun is like blood, dyeing these white peaks red. The wind blowing from the mountains seemed to bring the smell of ice cubes, and breathing hard was refreshing, and on the other side of this peak, an even taller peak looked down on the surrounding valley like a lone giant. Between the two peaks, there are several flying creatures. At first, Xiao Yan thought it was a rock vulture that lived on the mountain cliff, but thanks to his high-level sharp gaze, he quickly confirmed that it was several huge creatures flying in the valley. At least it is not comparable to the size of the rock vulture, but there seems to be a big gap with the image of the griffin in Xiao Yan's impression.

At least these flying creatures don't have huge wings, and what they use to fly is a huge periosteum that looks like it's twice as large as their body. If it must be said, from Xiao Yan's point of view, these griffins are more like bats that have been magnified hundreds of times.

As if able to sense the arrival of humans on this mountain peak, the creatures flying in the valley flapped their periosteal wings vigorously, and after tens of seconds, they had already flown above them.

"Humans," one of the creatures said as they stared at Xiao Yan, "it's not time to exchange yet, you're too early." ”

Xiao Yan looked at the lives of these griffins, which Lehman called griffins, and at a closer distance, he could see that the appearance of these beings was very different from that of lions or vultures. They have a head that is closer to that of a human, but the body is many times larger than that of an adult. (To be continued......)
