Chapter 31: Entering the City to Buy a Map (Part I)

After a night of walking, in the early hours of the morning, Shaanna found a forest by the side of the road to rest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

But after just sleeping for an hour, Xiaobai began to sound a warning.

Shaanna climbed up from the trunk of the tree she was leaning against and noticed the crowd of people surrounding her.

"Mercenaries!?" Shaanna saw a flickering figure, these were not the troops of the United Empire of Rice.

Shaanna's mental power has locked up the nearest few mercenaries, and their goal is clear, they are really coming at her.

"Xiaobai, get ready to fight!" Shaanna cast the Dark Soul Butterfly, while covering herself in the dark mist.

Hearing Shaanna's command, Xiao Bai burst into purple flames, and although Xiao Bai, who was a whole circle bigger, was a fox demon pet, he looked like a majestic tall male lion.

"Oops! "The mercenaries have also discovered Xiaobai's combat state, they no longer hide, and they have rushed out of their hiding places.

Half an hour later, Shaanna came out of the woods, pulled her hood on, and hurried away with the restored white.

In the woods, there were mercenaries lying all over the place, some with broken legs and hands, some of them were intact but they had long since fainted from pain, and Shaanna had already left her hands.

In the days that followed, Shaanna no longer approached the official road, but only walked in the wilderness.

But she still has to go into the cities she passes by from time to time to buy a map of the area, so every time she comes out, she always attracts a group of mercenaries who are tracking her.

At first, such mercenaries were relatively easy to deal with, but as Shaanna defeated more trackers, the more powerful the mercenaries who followed.

Later, Sha Anna learned that the reward for the task of capturing her had reached 10,000 gold coins, which was already at the level of a vicious thief.

With such a high bounty amount, and it is also a bounty task issued by the state, many high-level mercenary groups have already been dispatched.

Shaanna was able to keep her hand at first, but as the enemy became more and more powerful, it was no longer possible for her to retain her strength as before.

Under the all-out attack, most of the mercenaries died directly, and a few mercenaries with strong bodies and souls survived.

Slowly, Shaanna actually had a loud nickname, called the Shadow Slayer, and Xiaobai also got the nickname - White Devil.

In the past, Shaanna might have felt guilty for killing, but now that her dark will has awakened, she doesn't feel too much about killing.

Shaanna's expression became more and more cold, except for when facing Xiaobai, she would show a gentle side, and she always looked like a person who would not disturb in front of the people around her.

Although Shaanna eats and sleeps in the streets, her body is getting stronger and stronger, and her height is taller than that of children of the same age.

She had been walking in the wilderness for four months, winter and New Year had long passed, and she was now an eight-year-old girl.

When it comes to winter in the wilderness, Shaanna doesn't find it difficult, because winter is inconvenient for many adventurers, so Shaanna has the fewest trackers she encounters during this time.

With Xiaobai's company, the space ring contains a lot of wintering things, and she is also very happy to hunt prey in the ice and snow.

But such days soon came to an end, and with the arrival of spring, the various mercenaries and armies who were chasing her became particularly active.

On this day, Shaanna came to a town outside of a new area, and she didn't have a map of the new area, so it was easy to go off the rails.

As before, she disguised herself and left Xiaobai outside the city, and she planned to sneak into the city to buy a map.

But this time the situation was slightly different from the past, there were actually a few more magicians among the soldiers who were checked, although their realm was not high, but they were very sensitive to magic fluctuations.

Perhaps Shaana's infiltration into the city was discovered by the Empire, and they are now sending more magicians to prevent them from using illusions to evade detection.

After observing for a while, Shaanna did not find an opportunity to take advantage of, so she had to walk around the city wall, looking for weak points in the defense, and patiently waiting for the night.

The Demon Dragon Wings of her Demon God Dragon Fighting Technique could fly, and with her current Great Mage Level 4 realm, she could fly for about half an hour, which was enough time for him to cross the city wall.

After flying into the city, she had just hidden in the dark fog when she noticed a group of centaurs coming in her direction.

Maybe he was noticed by a magician when he flew over before, or maybe he was discovered by a soldier who was inadvertently watching the sky.

The Dark Mist has the effect of blocking mental power, and Shaanna, who is hiding in the Dark Mist, is not worried that she will be discovered by the magicians accompanying the team.

By the darkness of the night, she carefully hid behind the shadow of the building, quietly waiting for the group to arrive.

It was a group of forty or fifty Imperial infantry armed with muskets, their captain running in front on horseback, followed by a mage on horseback.

"Strange! It's around here! Let's look carefully!" The mage who followed used his mental power to reconnoitre, but found no trace of Shaana, so he ordered the infantry behind him.

Although these infantry are led by a captain, when there are mages who accompany the army, the mages are usually their superiors.

The scattered soldiers began a carpet search, and soon three infantry men approached Shaanna's hiding place.

Although being wrapped in the dark mist could block the detection of other people's mental power, it could not stop the magic fluctuations generated when casting spells, so Shaanna did not dare to cast illusions on several infantrymen.

She maintained the dark fog and began to retreat, trying to keep her distance from the infantry carrying the oil lamps so as not to be illuminated by the oil lamps.

The infantrymen turned away without checking the end of the darkness, only to find the magician staring motionlessly in her direction.

"It's been discovered!" Shaanna was shocked, and her instinct told her that the other party had noticed her presence.

The Dark Mist can affect the enemy's psychic detection, but it cannot eliminate the anomaly that the opponent finds the psychic power detection here.

Without waiting for the magician to give the order, Shaanna preemptively fired a Dark Soul scalpel at the opponent.

"Not good!" the magician had only time to make a single sound before the Dark Soul Scalpel pierced through it, and the horse fell and struggled in agony.

"Follow me! here!" the captain drew his sword and pointed straight in Shaanna's direction, and the other soldiers heard the captain's greeting and quickly ran over.

It seems that the captain sensed the fluctuations in Sha'An's magic as she cast the spell, but he didn't rush over to fight her.

Just when Shaanna didn't know what the other party was going to do, the soldiers were already aiming their muskets in the direction of the captain's sword.

Seeing that his subordinates were already in place, the captain flicked his sword: "Fire!"

A volley of muskets fired one after the other, and the explosion of gunpowder startled Shaanna, and then she was numb as if she had been hit by something.

This was the first time that Sha Anna had seen the musket fire, so she didn't dodge, and it wasn't until after the first bullet that she realized that her mental power just now did feel a small object approaching at high speed, but she was so frightened by the sound of the musket that she didn't have time to react.

Shaanna quickly cast the Dark Spirit Guardian and blessed herself with a Divine Grace Speed Aura.

Small objects at high velocity are not easy to dodge, but they can be accelerated to the back of a building with the help of an aura.

After dodging, Shaanna threw five Dark Spirit scalpels and sliced down five musket infantry in a row.

Seeing that the muskets were no longer a threat to the enemy, the captain shouted, "Follow me!" and rushed to Shaanna first.

A dozen infantry with bayonets on muskets rushed with the captain, and Shaanna could only regain the scalpel that flew out.

The captain seemed to be able to see the trail of the scalpel, and several attacks did not hurt him, and it seemed that the other party was at least a quasi-saint-level master.

Shaanna unleashes the Dark Soul Butterfly, canceling the Dark Soul Scalpel and casting a Dark Cone Soul Spell.

One after another, the infantry were hit to the end by the soul conching technique, and when the captain came to Shaanna's hiding place, there was no infantry left behind him.

The captain swung his sword into the darkness in front of him, but it slashed into the air, and the captain was visibly surprised that his blow missed, for he was quite sure that Shaanna was where he slashed.

Before he could react to what was going on, he had been stabbed behind him with three scalpels, and his mouth that was about to let out a miserable howl was sealed by Shaanna's spell, and he couldn't speak, so he could only snort and bear the severe pain, and after a while, he fainted in pain.
