Chapter 163: A Coincidental Encounter

"Change the hard way. Dio smiled.

Raymond and Gordon were stunned, and then understood what Dio meant, the more difficult the road is, the less chance there is of encountering other adventurer squads, so that many conflicts will be avoided.

After thinking about it, Gordon frowned and said, "But, in this case, will we be delayed on the road for too long?"

"You're right. Dio explained: "But have you thought about it? Even if the road is more difficult, as long as it is in the right direction, it is just a few more days of delay, but if a large-scale conflict really breaks out, we will have to fight all the way...... Not to mention whether we can do it, I think I'm afraid that more time will be wasted. ”

"Yes, then so be it, anyway, you're not afraid of going back late, what do I have to be afraid of. Gordon nodded.

Dio was stunned and asked, "Why should I be afraid?"

Sophia has given you fifteen days, and if it's late, it's hard to say what will happen. Raymond said with a grin.

Dio laughed dumbly, he didn't even bother to explain, this kind of thing can only be described more and more black, whatever they think. Raymond and Gordon still refused to let go of Dio, where you talked for a long time, and found that Dio did not react at all, and immediately felt very deflated, and gradually lost his voice.

In the next few days, several people walked day and night, picking up rough and hilly roads, so that the team of adventurers encountered was suddenly much smaller, and occasionally Gordon recognized the other party as a member of the bandits under Franvi, who was unceremoniously killed by Dio.

Almost after every battle, Dio would reflect on the details of the battle, in order to learn from the experience of others, as the number of battles increased, the doubts in Dio's heart became heavier, including the writers of the canon, including Vasily, all of them focused on the improvement of the source power, becoming stronger, stronger, stronger, and stronger, as if they insisted that as long as they could go to the last step and become a divine warrior, they would be able to solve all their problems. As for the combat skills at the current stage, they don't pay much attention to it, and always regard the source force as the foundation.

However, Dio can't deny that it is precisely because of the mastery of derivative secret techniques that they can make skirmishes extremely easy, and a few months ago, they would never have been able to do this, and it was the skills that greatly increased their combat effectiveness. It sounds a bit like the battle between the Air Sect and the Sword Sect described in the novels of the other world, but Dio also knows that he is not qualified to judge based on his own level, so he can only think silently.

In the blink of an eye, it was the seventh day since they left the manor, and the Dio people were nothing, they still looked vibrant, but the war horses were a little unbearable, especially the horses' hooves, which were very worn.

"I said, if this continues, the horses will be ruined. Raymond looked at the war horses that were grazing there not far away and said, "At that time, don't you want to just walk back?"

"It's none of the business with me, I don't have to walk back anyway. Gordon smirked.

Raymond hatefully glanced at the roaring beast lying beside Gordon, the survivability of the roaring beast is naturally much stronger than that of the war horse, even if he walks in the mountains all day without showing any fatigue, Raymond is a little red-eyed, because he and Dio must get off the horse and walk for a while from time to time, so as not to be too tired of the war horse, but at this time Gordon will ride on the back of the roaring beast to make fun of the two, if the conditions are not allowed, Raymond really wants to get some laxatives for the roaring beast to eat, and then see if Gordon can continue to be arrogant.

Dio swept over from a distance, carrying a few hares in his hands, since Dio was the only one who was a warrior of the wind system, so the hunting work fell on Dio's head, Dio didn't even have a chance to refuse, who made him the fastest.

The division of labor between the three is very clear, Dio hunts, Gordon is responsible for skinning and cleaning, and Raymond makes a cameo role as a chef, anyway, the three of them have something to do, and no one should take advantage of anyone, this is the solution proposed by Dio after several disputes between Raymond and Gordon, otherwise it would be too difficult to have a meal with these two guys.

After a while, the aroma came out, although Raymond's craftsmanship was not very good, but it was much stronger than Dio and Gordon, and in this wilderness, everyone did not have such high requirements, at least it was much better than cold dry food.

A few people were eating, and the corner of Dior's eyes suddenly caught a figure in the distant night, a figure flashed and disappeared, and the movements in his hands couldn't help but pause, and then continued to eat as if nothing had happened.

"Don't move, just keep going, just listen to me. Dio whispered as he chewed the food in his mouth.

Hearing Dio's words, Gordon and Raymond's eyes flickered, and they both kept a relaxed and natural look calmly, and Raymond also deliberately laughed loudly: "How is my craft, not bad?"

"Eun, it's delicious. Gordon said cooperatively.

"There's a guy down there, not slow, I'll find an excuse to go out in a while, and then you cooperate with me to surround him. Because of something in his mouth, Dio's speech was a little slurred.

"No problem, you go. Gordon replied in a whisper.

Dio finished the roast in his hand in a few bites, wiped his hands, and was about to get up, when he found that the figure appeared again, still flashing at a very fast speed, and swept from the original hiding position behind another boulder.

Dio calculated the distance in his mind, and was surprised to find that the man's speed was not much slower than his own, that is, if he missed a blow, it would be difficult for him to catch up with him in a short time.

At that time, Dio had enough time to deal with Mir, but not at the moment, the sooner he found the mining area, he would be more sure, because if this unknown person delayed for too long, it would be worth the loss, at least, the other party has not shown malicious intent until now.

When Gordon and Raymond had finished eating, Dio spoke, "Let's go, it's time to hurry." ”

Both of them were stunned, a little confused about what Dio was going to do.

Dio led the war horse over, glanced at the place where the man was hiding, smiled and said, "This guy's speed is not slow, there is no need to waste time on him, but...... If he still doesn't know what to do, we don't have to be polite to him. ”

As he said this, Theo raised his voice slightly, apparently deliberately for the man.

Until Theo and the others left, the man never appeared again. When he walked hundreds of meters away, Dio turned his head to take a look, and saw the man's sturdy figure jumping high from behind the boulder, and quickly swept towards the position where Dio and the others had stayed before.

Along the way, Dio was carefully observing the rear, and when he saw that the man had not caught up, he put his heart down, it seemed that it was just a chance encounter, and there was no need to take it to heart.

Gradually, the sky brightened, and the Dio men found a wooded area and got into it, and set up a tent, which actually had some advantage of resting during the day, at least to avoid the midday day.

But not long after they fell asleep, several people were awakened by a noise in the distance.

The three of them walked out of the tent, listened attentively for a while, and found that the sound was getting closer and closer to them, and couldn't help but glance at each other, they were a little helpless, even like this, they were in trouble, and they really couldn't hide, and they couldn't hide for a while.

It didn't take long for a figure to shoot in from outside the woods, and when he saw Theo and the others, he immediately rushed to the side, and climbed to the top of a big tree with three or two strokes of his hands and feet.

In this meeting, Dio and the others saw the man's appearance clearly, his hair was no different from a bird's nest, his dark complexion did not know whether he was born like this or because he had not been washed for a long time, and there was nothing else on his body except a beast skin, coupled with the fierce eyes full of vigilance, it was more appropriate to say that he was not a human being than a beast.

Dio looked at the man in astonishment, and suddenly remembered where he had seen him, the wild man they had met on their way to Lake Santis. The other party was dressed like this at the time, which left a deep impression on Dio, and it was difficult to forget, and they fought side by side on the shores of Lake Santis together, although Dio was forced at that time, but at least they knew each other.

The only difference is that this time there is a snow-white fluffy little animal in the wild man's arms.

The wild man apparently recognized Dio as well, and his gaze gradually became gentle, revealing a bit of surprise.

The snow-white furry little movement looked like a kitten, and its small mouth kept squirming as if chewing something, and just as the wild man flew towards the top of the tree trunk, a shiny thing fell from its mouth.

Dio's eyes suddenly froze, and his figure floated forward like a light wind, and in an instant he came below the wild man and caught the shiny thing.

As soon as the thing landed in the palm of the hand, a majestic, substance-like flow of source power penetrated from the palm and flowed along the veins to the whole body.

Star shards?

Dio's palm shook as the shiny thing fell out of his hand and rolled into the grass.

Dio is not afraid of the star fragments, but the negative effects caused by the star fragments, if you use the star fragments to forcibly improve your strength in the radiant warrior stage, then when you reach the extreme warrior stage, it will become difficult, and it will even be difficult to advance an inch, and the source power contained in that star fragment is too huge, the best?!

At this time, more than a dozen ** samurai rushed in with shouts, and the sound of hurried footsteps sounded on the other side of the woods, and the Dio couldn't help but look up at the wild man, what is the origin of this guy, why are so many people chasing and killing him? Also, where did this star fragment come from? Could it be that the wild man found the mining area first?

The dozen or so warriors who rushed in couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Dio and the others, obviously they didn't expect that there were other people here.
