Chapter 14: Death!
The grumpy axe warrior tried to pull out his battle axe, but was held down by another burly, hideous-looking companion.
The scar-faced warrior with a big sword glared at Leon viciously, spat on the ground, and roared: "Barbarian, let's see, if you have the ability, don't come out here for the rest of your life!"
He was supposed to be the leader of the adventurous party, and after a cruel word, he left with his teammates, and a possible fierce battle dissipated.
The guests in the bar were obviously accustomed to this, and withdrew their gazes indifferently to continue their merry, but many of them looked at Leon very strangely, unexpected, gloating, pitiful, curious... Both.
"You have to be careful of them," the bartender reminded, "it's best to stay in the town these days and not go out, lest they follow and retaliate, and they won't dare to do anything in the town." β
The power of money was unquestionable, and a single gold coin put the bartender on LΓ©on's side.
Leon nodded, stuffed the last piece of roast meat into his mouth and swallowed it, patted his palms and said, "Thank you for the reminder, I'll be careful!"
Others are unlucky to see Leon being targeted, but Leon feels that this is an opportunity to verify his current strength, this group of people don't look for him, it's just that if they find him...
There was a fierce and bloodthirsty glint in his tiger eyes, which was just seen by the bartender standing opposite.
The well-informed ground snake shivered involuntarily, and a cold breath ran from the vertebrae to the top of his head, feeling like an antelope being targeted by a fierce tiger, and the fear came from the heart.
By the time he came to his senses, Leon had pushed the door open and left the bar.
......
After eating and drinking, it was natural to get down to business, and Leon made a big circle around Blackstone, where he bought four gray camels and matching saddle shelves from a livestock dealer for forty-five gold coins, and then went to the weapons shop.
As a town where mercenary adventurers gather, the weapon shop in Blackstone Town is not small, and the variety of weapons sold is very complete, which makes Lao Lei very eye-opening.
After careful selection, he bought five fine-iron double-edged battle axes, fifteen wrought-iron war knives, and fifty wrought-iron shuttle spear heads at one time, and also ordered a hundred fine iron shuttle spear heads.
The same weapons are also divided into quality, the main difference is in the material and the craftsmanship of the construction, generally the cheapest made of inferior iron, wrought iron belongs to the standard, fine iron is high-quality, and the price of the best black iron is too expensive, it is not at all what Leon can afford now.
Even though most of the weapons were made of wrought iron, after leaving the weapon shop, Leon's remaining money was only enough to complete the 3,000-pound rye deal agreed with the owner of the grain store.
The money earned by fighting for his life was spent in the blink of an eye, and three thousand pounds of rye were loaded on the back of the gray hunchback.
This most commonly used means of transportation on the continent is impeccable in terms of gravity and endurance, coupled with the endowment of trekking through mountains and rivers and enduring hardships and hard work, so Leon gritted his teeth and bought four heads - those bought grain can't be carried back by himself, right?
Moreover, the surname of the gray camel is extremely docile and obedient, and people like him, who have never ridden before, can be controlled with a few simple passwords and movements with a little familiarity.
When he came to Blackstone, Leon could be said to be alone, but when he left Blackstone, he brought with him a caravan full of food and weapons.
It's just that it's easy to come, but it's not so simple to leave safely.
While shopping for supplies in the town, Leon sensed that someone was following and peeping behind him, and he basically didn't have to think about who the other party was.
Although aware of the other party's presence, Leon did not dodge, but continued to complete his own thing quietly.
When Leon left Blackstone Town with the caravan, a team of five adventurers followed him from a distance, and the other party did not hide his whereabouts, revealing his naked malice.
Leon sneered to himself, and rode the gray camel off the road, stepping across the plain and into the woods not far away.
The biggest disadvantage of the gray camel is its slow speed, especially when it is fully loaded, and it can travel only a little faster than a normal person's walk, so when Leon's caravan disappears into the woods, the adventurers who follow it quickly catch up.
"Boss, shall we follow up?"
Looking at the dense forest, the gray-robed mage apprentices in the team looked a little hesitant, the environment of the forest was very unfavorable for the casting of spells, and weak mages were also more likely to be sneak attacked.
Leon suddenly changed direction and entered the forest, which was not what they had expected.
"He won't be able to run far unless he gives up the four grey camels!" Scarface Warrior drew his weapon and said gloomily, "Even if we can't kill this barbarian, taking these goods will be enough for us to spend a while!"
Thinking of the possible harvest, the adventurers' morale was boosted, and they no longer hesitated to rush into the woods to search.
Although it was only Leon who was dealing with him, they maintained due caution, with two warriors protecting the mage, the archers behind the plaster, and the thieves roaming around to scout.
The woods are not very large, and it didn't take much time for the adventurer to find the target.
"Here!" shouted the thief.
In the woods, four gray camels were abandoned, and they did not run away after losing their owners, but leisurely gnawed on the grass on the ground, and the goods on their backs were all there.
"Ran away?" the adventurers gathered around, and the Scarface Warrior was a little surprised: "Count him smart!"
Looking at the four gray camels in his hands, he felt that he was still unfinished, his eyes rolled, and he opened his throat and roared loudly: "You coward barbarian, you know that you are afraid, right?
Several of the other adventurers burst into laughter, and they immediately understood Scarface's intentions and laughed loudly.
"The barbarian scumbags in the countryside dare to fight us!"
"It turned out to be just a shrunken turtle, I'm phew!"
...
The unbearable foul language spread to the depths of the woods, and the intention of these adventurers was obvious, they wanted to use this method to force Leon out, and they wanted both wealth and life!
The adventurers were scolding more and more happily, and the more they scolded, the more elated they became, and no one noticed that on a large tree behind them, a rope tied to vines was sliding silently downward.
Among the adventurers, only the young mage apprentice did not open his throat and scold with his companions, the mage has his own mage reserve, even the apprentice cannot go to the street like a shrew.
With no enemies, and certainly no warriors by his side, the mage's apprentice held his staff, smiling as he watched his companions vent their emotions, but wondered how much money he would get for this harvest - magicians were the most expensive profession.
But the next moment, his smile suddenly stiffened!
A vine noose landed on his neck almost without warning, and instantly tightened and pulled up, and before the mage apprentice could even let out a shout, the whole person rose from the ground and was lifted into the air, hanging from the high branches!
The staff in the mage's apprentice's hand fell on the woodland.
The thief standing not far away had very sensitive ears, and when he heard something unusual, he immediately turned his head to check, but was shocked to find that the mage apprentice was gone!
"What's going on, where did Murphy go?"
The thief's cry made the others turn their senses, stop cursing, and turn back, and suddenly all looked at each otherβwhat about people?
The poor mage apprentice was struggling desperately on top of their heads, his neck strangled so that he couldn't breathe at all, his otherwise fair face turned purple, his eyes were white, his limbs twitched, and he was about to die.
Even if he had a body of magic power, it would not have the slightest effect in such a situation.
"He's up there!"
Despite the desperate struggles of the mage apprentice, the sound he made still attracted the attention of the adventurers, and they were all stunned to see their companions being hung from the tree.
"Get Murphy down!" Scarface yelled.
The archer was the quickest to react, and he immediately raised his longbow and took aim with a feathered arrow, intending to break the vine rope that was hanging the mage's apprentice.
Call!
The archer was just about to loosen his strings when a silver double-edged battle axe flew from behind his back!
This battle axe was infused with extreme strength, and the thick axe body swirled through the air, carrying a shuddering death roar, and instantly swept over a distance of more than ten meters, slashing the archer's vest fiercely!
"Ahh
The archer let out a terrible scream, and the sharp axe blade tempered by fine iron sliced through his protective leather armor like slicing tofu, cutting into his body under the effect of the powerful habitual force, directly cutting off his spine!
Blood spurted from the terrible wounds, and the archers fell forward like puddles of mud.
The feather arrow in his hand still shot out, but it completely deviated from its original trajectory, and it landed right on the mage apprentice's body, speeding it up and pushing it into the arms of death!
"me!"
The remaining three adventurers were all red-eyed, and the derelict thief drew his dagger and sped short in the direction the tomahawk was flying.
He could already see a tall figure standing in the bushes not far away.
Looking at the thieves rushing forward, Leon held the tiger stabbing saber, a hideous smile appeared on his face, and he exhaled in a deep voice, like a fierce tiger in a violent attack!
"Kill!"
Blood boiled in his heart, and at this moment, Leon regained the feeling of fighting in the bloody field, and now he is stronger than before.
The two speeding figures suddenly passed by, and the silver blade flashed away!
The thief continued to rush forward for five or six steps before stopping, his steps staggering a little, and his dark and thin face was full of stunned and shocked looks, as if he could not believe what had just happened.
His throat, a trace of blood was constantly expanding!
