The sound was far away, still outside the range of his qi, and it was covered by the sound of wind and snow, if it weren't for the arrogance here, no one else should be able to hear this scream.

Not only did he hear this scream, but he could also conclude that it was a human scream.

This season, this time, this weather, no one should have run into the wilderness anyway, even those hunters should have gone home long ago.

Let's go and see, Ao Zongheng is not a curious person, and he doesn't have much sense of justice, but it's a matter of human life, if there is no other reason, he will still go and see.

However, just as he bit down on a large piece of flesh from the shearwater's leg and was about to rise up, another scream came, which was obviously different from the previous one.

One more person killed?

The place where the voice came from seemed to be a little closer than before, and it seemed that the people were moving in this direction.

It was only twenty zhang that he came out, and his arrogant sense of arrogance found the person who came.

In the wind and snow, a dozen or so men were running wildly, and less than thirty paces away, an unknown giant beast was chasing them in the darkness.

It was really a giant beast, its forelimbs thicker than the waist of an adult man, the length of its soles as long as half a leg of an adult man, its eyes as big as a dinner plate, and the large mouth that loomed in the darkness could swallow two people in one bite.

Such a giant beast is definitely not something that ordinary people can fight against.

Fortunately, its opponents are not ordinary people.

This dozen or so men not only wore the same winter coat leather armor and blanket hat, but also had the same weapons with a bow and crossbow and a knife. Looking at this dress, eighty percent are sergeants.

However, in front of this giant beast, even if it is an imperial sergeant, it can only escape. However, although they fled, they did not flee blindly, and while they fled, they beckoned to the face of the giant beast with the crossbow in their hands, which could quickly complete the action of loading arrows with only one hand, hence the name. However, being able to complete this action while running shows that these soldiers should also be well-trained elite warriors.

This kind of hand crossbow is simple and quick to use, but the string power is also inferior to ordinary military crossbows, not much used in the army, it is a sharp weapon in hunting and skirmishes, but unfortunately this sharp weapon can deal with people, against this giant beast, it only makes it hurt but not hurt, but it arouses its anger even more.

It's not that these sergeants don't understand this situation, but they have no other choice, if it weren't for these crossbows, they wouldn't even be able to run here, but seeing that the giant beast is getting closer and closer, and the crossbow arrows are running out, the end of their lives seems to be approaching.

However, if anyone was not too far away, and their eyesight was good enough, they would find that the dozen or so sergeants, although they knew that they were about to become a feast for the beasts, had no remorse or fear on their faces, and had no intention of stopping at all, but still ran through the snow with great difficulty, as if they could take one more step.

Arrogant was very close, and his eyesight was obviously good enough, but he didn't see the expressions on the faces of these sergeants, and most of his attention was on the giant beast in front of him.

By the light of the sun, this giant beast is covered with hair, the hair is gray-white, without markings, shaped like a tiger, but the face is completely different, the short jaw and few teeth, the current two half-arm-long fangs are the most eye-catching, and a dark mane runs from the forehead to the tail.

From Loren Magaga to Grand Bogar, although Ao Zongheng didn't dare to say that he had walked half of the Tambro Continent, it was almost a third, and he had seen many creatures that had not been seen in Middle-earth, not to mention those quite magical ancient relics, but he had never seen such a giant beast.

Although he had never seen them, he had long known about the existence of the giant beasts, because they could only be seen near the Gengugo Mountains, especially in winter.

Known as the Continent of Tambro, the Gengugo Mountains block the cold currents from the ocean north of the continent, and the land north of the Gengugo Mountains is frozen all year round, making it difficult for humans to survive there. In the winter, the temperature drops further, and a large number of local livestock either choose to hibernate or go south to escape the cold, which causes those creatures at the top of the local food chain to follow their prey southward in order to forage for food, so that these giant beasts appear in the territory of the empire.

These sergeants should have met this guy while hunting, so they were hunted down to this point, and as for why the sergeants didn't return to the camp late at night, Arrogant didn't think it was very abnormal - in those barracks in Middle-earth, after nightfall was the time when some sergeants were active, and many things that they couldn't do during the day were only at night, and only at night, they had a chance.

Another round of crossbow arrows was fired, and the beast's castration stalled slightly, and with a low roar, it chased forward again. One of the sergeants running at the end shouted, "After the arrows are gone, everyone will split up and run away, hold on for a while." ”

Before he could finish speaking, the giant beast behind him suddenly rose into the air and swooped towards their position.

Finished.

Not to mention that they didn't have time to reload the strings, even if they could fire a round immediately, these ten or so crossbow arrows would not be enough to stop this giant beast that was estimated to weigh more than dozens of pounds (the standard weight unit of the empire, one boil is equivalent to the weight of a thousand kingdompa, equivalent to about seven hundred catties) in the air. This pounce is bound to crush these dozen sergeants to death, and even if they are lucky not to die, they will inevitably die under the giant claws of this giant beast in an instant.

"Woo!" a strange cry sent the beast to the ground, shaking the snow from the branches of the surrounding trees.

A dozen sergeants were still alive, and they were so surprised that they forgot to run away for a while—how could this giant beast fall to the ground halfway, and it seemed that it had fallen?

Of course, they didn't see it clearly, the giant beast was in mid-air, slammed into an invisible obstacle, and fell heavily to the ground.

A strange gust of wind, wrapped in snow, plunged horizontally between them and the beast, instantly obscuring the beast's form. This strange wind suddenly sobered up the sergeants who were still standing still.

"Run!" the sergeant who seemed to be the leader gave the order, and the sergeant who had recovered a life immediately continued to flee forward.

With invisible obstruction, with strange wind warnings, the only thing that can do all this is arrogance.

He didn't show up, firstly, he did not lack this kind of favor, and secondly, he did not want to reveal his identity and whereabouts - he still had to stay in the empire for a while, and he was afraid that what he did would offend many powerful people in the empire, he himself was fearless, but with the "burden" of Fei Lin, the more low-key the better.

By this time, the beast had already gotten up again, venting its anger with a loud roar.

The beast wasn't stupid, it gave up on the fleeing sergeants and focused its attention on its surroundings—the force that had kept itself out of mid-air was a much greater threat.

It's a pity that no matter how hard he tries to use the big eyes and big nose of the bathtub, he still can't find any unusual movement in this wind and snow—of course, it can't find the arrogance that is dozens of feet away, separated from it by a ridge.

Now that nothing was out of the ordinary, the beast turned its attention back to the group of Imperial sergeants who had escaped with hundreds of lashes.

The distance was no obstacle for the beast, and it shook the snow from its fur, then moved its limbs and lunged at the sergeants.

"Woo!" another strange cry came out of the way, and it crashed into the invisible obstacle again.

Of course, there is no way to let it go now—the sergeants haven't fled yet. But he had no intention of killing the beast, so he let it go after a little more sleepiness.

But unexpectedly, the giant beast that had been repeatedly blocked and roared in anger suddenly calmed down, and even knelt down obediently, making a "bluff" sound in the direction it came. This giant beast, which was fierce and fierce just now, turned into the most docile dog in an instant.

Could it be that there is still a master behind this giant beast?

Arrogant immediately became interested, he was not interested in competing with this giant beast with only brute strength, but the character who can tame such a giant beast should be a bit interesting.

Just thinking about it, sure enough, someone slowly walked into his qi range.

Since others are not hiding, Ao Zongheng naturally will not hide and snoop, two or three ups and downs, he has already landed where those sergeants were standing just now.

Men came to him, looking at each other.

Of course, they had never seen each other before, but Ao Zongheng recognized the identity of this man, because he already knew that all those who had an ear chakra that were always outward and sharp, and whose appearance was much higher than the average of this world, were elves—this was the method of identification that the ring spirit had taught him.

This is the second time he has met the elve, in the western part of the kingdom of Miredang, in the western part of the forest of Piranf, he met the spirit of Gaggangaza, who can freely walk through the rock and soil, known as the cave elves, and also met the son of the thorn Kiranna, the guardian of the Black River, the angry Gardan Pu Lepanna Gonnon. And the one in front of him, although his appearance is different, his hairstyle and clothing are also different from Lebana, he should be an elf of another race.

Ao Zongheng has never seen a female elf, and the elf in front of him does not feel like a woman.

"What kind of elf are you?" Arrogant never liked to pretend to be deep and reserved, and asked his curious questions directly.

He uses Elven language, to be precise, the Elven language of Gaogengaza, but he doesn't know the differences between the elven languages of different races, which may be similar to human dialects, but even if he knows, there is no way, at present, he knows this elven language, and the mantra method is of course magical, but if he wants to learn a language, he must first listen to two sentences, and he can't say the language that he has not heard.

"You, you actually know the high Geng Gaza Elf?" This elf actually knows the high Geng Gaza Elf, but the strange thing is that his appearance of arrogance is far less surprising than he found out that the other party actually knows the high Geng Gaza Elf.

The elf didn't move, but Ao Zongheng felt that the hostility of the other party suddenly became fierce and fanatical, as if the elf of Gao Geng Gaza had a special meaning to him.
