Chapter 295, The Journey of Awe
Xiao Yan could also feel some joy at the spirit shown by Hannibal. For now, this powerful creature is able to adapt quickly to a variety of environments. Maybe every shijie's life is like this, the pain stays in the heart, and then allows yourself to grow tenaciously.
With this in mind, he walked down the hill to find that the road on the ground was slightly muddy. It seems to have rained recently, but it's not as hard to move as the muddy splashes make it difficult to move, and the sun in the sky is slowly regaining the hardness of the road.
The scent of the wildflowers on the side of the road from time to time in the breeze, and the bees buzzing among them, all made the shijie look very warm and peaceful, and there was no terrible danger coming.
However, Xiao Yan could probably guess what kind of existence made the knights and "robbers" in the castle unable to control themselves, so that they had to appear outside the castle at such a time.
In the slope of the hill where he had descended, deep in a cave, there was probably the target of these knights, the skeletal creature that looked so powerful.
As the saying goes, looking at the mountains and running dead horses, it seems that the castle in the distance is not far away on the hillside, and those tiny knights are also very clear in Xiao Yan's sharp eyes. Along with those constant voices, Xiao Yan also had the illusion that the castle didn't seem too far away from him. But when he actually started walking towards the castle, ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and all he could see was the outline of the castle reappearing before his eyes.
This is still in the case that his body skills have improved a lot, and his action speed is two or three times faster than that of ordinary people, if he is just an ordinary person. Xiao Yan believed that it would take at least about an hour to walk from the hillside down the hill to the castle.
The chaos at the castle gates continued. The "robbers" who were still emerging from the castle almost completely blocked the traffic at the city gates. No one outside can enter the castle, and no one inside the castle can come out. The loud shouts of the knights continued to reach the ears of Xiao Yan, who was approaching the castle, and these shouts slowly evolved into the sound of cursing and shouting. At the same time, the human voices of those robber costumes also erupted from time to time, all of which were nothing more than coaxing and mocking the knight lord.
"It's a close-knit rabble."
Xiao Yan commented, bypassing Zuihou a turn, reducing his speed, and slowly walking to the middle of the road. He walked slowly towards the castle with Hannibal.
The monk who suddenly appeared at this time immediately attracted the attention of most people. In fact, long before Xiao Yan turned the corner, the soldiers in charge of the lookout on the castle had already discovered Xiao Yan's traces, but because the city gate was blocked and the robbers kept laughing, the news never reached the knights.
As the road gradually cleared, when these news finally reached the knight's ears, Xiao Yan had already appeared in everyone's eyes.
βzhanzhuοΌ Outsiders, tell me where you came from. β
A knight with better equipment and a more energetic horse riding under his crotch leaped out of his horse and shouted loudly at Xiao Yan.
Hannibal, who was beside Xiao Yan, let out a sound similar to a whimper. It sounds like a sound that is accidentally made when you are scared. But with these sounds, the proud knight dismounted from his crotch and snapped into action. I couldn't even stand on my feet, and I fell to the ground on one side of my body. It was not just the knight's horse, but all the horses outside the castle could not bear Hannibal's sound as the faint whimper swept through the breeze, and began to soften just by hearing it.
Knights surrounded by heavy iron armor would be unable to get up because of their bulkiness once they fell to the ground, which should have been a very funny thing. However, none of the people outside the castle laughed, and even the robbers who had been in chaos before stopped laughing, and watched intently as Xiao Yan slowly walked down the hill with Hannibal and approached them.
For the reaction of these horses in front of him, Xiao Yan suddenly remembered a word in his mind.
"Longwei"
Yes, the horses in front of them were in Hannibal's faint voice, a reaction that was very much in line with the legends and novels when low-ranking creatures were intimidated by high-ranking creatures.
Unlike humans, creatures like horses have a more natural instinct for danger and are also more sensitive to the deterrence of higher-level creatures. In the face of a three-headed dog with a level of 9, even if the fierce appearance is concealed in the appearance of an ordinary dog, the natural momentum cannot be completely covered.
This small discovery made Xiao Yan sure in his heart, no matter what, judging from the current situation, level 9 should be the upper limit of the level of this shijie creature. And it belongs to that extremely rare species, if the dragon flies all over the sky, then the horse will also adapt to the dragon's power without trembling, and vice versa. The performance of these horses proves that the three-headed dog has an absolute hierarchical advantage in this shijie.
At least for now.
"I want to know what you're doing," Xiao Yan's face shrunk into his hood, and he gently touched Hannibal with his hand to quiet the powerful creature for a moment, and then Xiao Yan looked at these people in front of him and asked, "I'm curious about everything about you, if possible, I want you to tell me where this is and what are you going to do?" β
The scene suddenly fell silent, and there was a loud scream in the castle, but the sound became extremely small, even insignificant, in the clearing outside the castle. Whether it was a knight or a knight, or those "robbers" dressed in disorder, they didn't speak rashly when facing the current Xiao Yan.
The man behind the hood clearly had a strength above all the soldiers and knights. As for the abnormality of the horse, these soldiers also knew in their hearts, who made the abnormality of the horse, and the knight would not have a wrong judgment.
That dog alone is enough to make all the horses so chaotic, so can the humans standing next to that dog be called humans? How strong should it be?
After a while, the knight who was the first to speak to Xiao Yan and the most well-equipped had already stood up with the help of Yi Cong, he cautiously took out his big sword and held it in his hand, and put on a defensive posture towards Xiao Yan.
This action made Xiao Yan divert his attention, looking at this knight who was strong and calm, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, and asked, "My question, are you responsible for answering it?" β
Faced with Xiao Yan's strong attitude, the knight took a long breath, then calmed down and said, "Outsiders, this is not the place you should come to, and hostile outsiders are not welcome in the Rose Leader. β
Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Oh, Rose Collar? Nice name, can anyone tell me who will answer my question just now? It seems that you are not that one, and these levels of yours, uh, really can't be complimented. β
For Xiao Yan's attitude, the knight was obviously a little unacceptable, and the knight's eight virtues did not include being insulted and not fighting back. Even if Xiao Yan's attitude is not an insult in Xiao Yan's opinion, it can only be regarded as telling the truth. But for knights who also have a sense of aristocratic honor, it is obviously unacceptable. The knight shouted angrily and said to Xiao Yan, "Outsider, you have insulted me and made me feel extremely angry. The people of the Karluhe family cannot accept such an insult, take out your weapons, I will fight you on an equal footing. β
In response to the knight's provocation, Xiao Yan just raised the staff in his hand and whispered, "Long-winded." β
With a "bang", the huge detonation shook the knight's body high like a broken kite, drawing a graceful parabola in the air, and accurately falling into the grass on the side of the road.
After a few seconds, as the knight let out a faint moan, the other dumbfounded people realized that the unlucky knight had not returned to heaven because of Xiao Yan's blow.
The knight hurriedly ran over, trying to help the knight up, and compared to these chaos, those humans had a new understanding of Xiao Yan's strength. With just one blow and without any prior preparation, a knight who was fully prepared and in a defensive position was blown straight away. If the monk was really prepared, what would happen?
Those knights who had just stood up involuntarily took a few steps back, and even those "robbers" who were unruly and dared to yell at the knights just now were also silent, and there was a lot of awe in their eyes when they looked at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan seemed to be embarrassed and rubbed his eyebrows, looked at everyone, and asked kindly: "No one has answered my question just now, and no one among you seems to know the answer, right?" β
"No, no, no, outlanders, wait, wait, we don't have any ill will, of course, of course, we also know that you don't have any ill will, we didn't point our spears at you, did we? haode, I think we can talk about it seriously, weishenme no? We'll tell you the answers to your questions, but we hope you can relax and relax a little. β
This time the answer was a middle-aged man from among the robbers, with unkempt chestnut hair, thick eyebrows and beard, a face that hadn't been seriously washed for an unknown amount of time, and was littered with dirt and blood. On the other hand, the eyes of this middle-aged man made Xiao Yan care more.
There is no more fear in those eyes, or rather, the sense of fear is slowly disappearing from these eyes, and a brilliance that can be called wisdom is being revealed.
"We're going to take out a lich, a mighty lich."
The middle-aged man's next answer answered the doubts in Xiao Yan's heart. (To be continued......)
