Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Chance Encounter on the Plains

Shortly thereafter, as the convoy passed through the junction of Zones A and B, Roy spotted the "watchtower" Morgan had described as it was ahead.

It is a 30-meter-high tower made of black rock with a red Sidenia flag flying on top of it.

At the top of the tower is an open-air observation deck, and at the bottom is a defensive position made of stone walls and horses, and you can faintly see the various houses and buildings in the position.

These towers may already be self-sufficient, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the official gathering place of Sidney in the wilderness.

The convoy got closer and closer to the watchtower, until it passed by, and gradually moved away.

Roy lifted the curtain and looked at the lookout tower in the distance.

He could feel that someone from the watchtower had been watching the convoy.

"Morgan."

He beckoned to the middle-aged mercenary who was riding a horse not far away, "Does the sentry usually care about your mercenaries in the wilderness?" ”

Morgan rode close to the carriage: "In principle, it doesn't matter, they are only responsible for guarding the security of the perimeter of Sidney." ”

"In principle?"

Roy snorted lightly, "The wilderness is not barren, mercenaries have established gathering places and exploited the resources in the wilderness, are these sentinels just watching?" ”

Morgan smiled, "You're right, behind many gathering places in the wilderness, there are sentinels secretly supporting them. ”

"Since the sentinels have a relationship with many gathering places, why are the northern crows and black flags all killed, but they don't see them mediating?"

Morgan shrugged: "Who knows what's going on in those old men's minds?" ”

Roy retracted his gaze and didn't continue the topic: "How long is it until you get to the Sky Mountains?" ”

"It's coming." Morgan pointed to the valley ahead, "At the current pace and road conditions, we'll be there before nightfall." ”

Roy nodded, retracted his head back to the carriage, and began to close his eyes and practice.

The red spiritual power crystal he had won in the hunt had not been exhausted until now, and he had always carried it with him.

At this time, the pure spiritual power in the crystal was flowing towards his body in a steady stream under the effect of the inheritance ladder.

However, the amount of spiritual power needed to light up the staircase was massive, and the third step of his two inheritance stairs was still slightly dim.

His cultivation talent is actually quite good, and his cultivation speed is also quite fast, but after all, he has to light up two inheritance ladders at the same time, so it is still difficult to have any hope of advancing to the third order in a short period of time.

This was actually quite normal, but it was better to say that he could reach the second order before entering the Inheritor Academy, and he had already surpassed more than half of his peers.

This was when he needed to light up two Inheritance Ladders at the same time.

"The Heart of God."

His heart moved, and he said silently in his heart.

"I'm here." Sure enough, the voice of the heart of God sounded in my head.

As it said that day, if you call it in your heart, the heart of God will respond.

And if you leave it behind, it won't suddenly run out to show its presence.

"It's been a long time since you've been out of the city, and you can still talk to me, are you really attached to me?"

Roy smiled wryly, "Being entangled in something that I can't see or touch, I always feel that something is wrong." ”

"You hate that feeling?"

"Not really......

He hesitated for a moment, "To be honest, you can communicate with your heart anytime and anywhere, your strength has exceeded my imagination, and for things beyond imagination, people can calmly accept them."

"Not to mention, you claim to be one of Sidnia's three artifacts. I'm still not sure you're the heart of God, but at least I haven't found any evidence that you've lied to me.

"If you want me to trust you a little more, unless ......"

"Unless?"

"If you're really the heart of God, then I'm not an angel of God? But have you ever seen such a weak divine envoy, and there is only a poor second-order until now...... At least let me inspect the goods first. ”

"So that's the idea you struck."

The heart of God agreed, "Yes." If you want, I can let you borrow my power for the time being. ”

At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Roy opened his eyes, a little confused.

Although it would be difficult to feel the passage of time from cultivation, he was sure that there was still some time until evening.

Already at your destination?

He stepped out of the carriage, only to see a beast blocking the road.

This beast is a huge ape, with long red hair and long hands, an arm span of nearly three meters, and an arm that looks thick and strong, and has infinite strength.

"Red-maned ape, how could this magical beast appear here?"

Morgan frowned in confusion, "Something is wrong......"

"What's wrong?" Roy asked, "Is it because it's still in a safe zone, shouldn't there be a monster?" ”

"No, it's already Zone B, and it's not uncommon for a ferocious beast to appear once in a while, but it's a red-maned ape."

Morgan was puzzled, "The red-maned vertical eye ape is not a fierce beast, but a more powerful first-order demonic beast, and it is difficult for ordinary people to match it, but they inhabit the deep mountains and old forests beyond the Sky Mountain Range...... It's impossible to meet it here.

"This is a plain area, and the nearest Sky Mountain Range is still fifty kilometers away......

"Very few monsters leave their habitat, so why would it migrate to the plains?"

No one could answer his question, and everyone's attention was focused on the red-maned ape.

The red-maned ape looked very violent, and when it spotted the convoy, it roared and rushed directly towards the convoy.

This excesses also seem very wrong. Warcraft have a good IQ, and they will also assess the danger of their prey before hunting, and if they encounter hard stubble, they will also choose to back down.

But this red-maned vertical eye ape actually launched a direct attack, and this panicked attack method was like a frightened bird.

"Young Master." Arya rode up to Roy and gave him an inquiring look.

Roy nodded.

He didn't forget that this trip to the wilderness was not only to protect Jiang Yiyi to recover the potion, but also to let Arya fully grow in actual combat.

Moreover, this is only the lowest level of first-order demonic beasts, Arya's current strength is already a first-order, and with the bonus of the Ritsu Sword Jovaus, it is a second-order.

She's alone enough to deal with the red-maned ape.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Arya drove forward to the front of the group.

Morgan on the side couldn't help but be stunned, he looked at Cynthia, and hurriedly added: "My lord, this is not an ordinary fierce beast, but an extremely powerful demonic beast, if you want to win alone, unless it is the inheritor......"

Cynthia's calm gaze was not moved in the slightest, and Morgan's words stuck in his mouth in the middle of his words, and he turned his head with an expression of disbelief on his face.

On this side, the red-maned ape had already charged, and Arya rode in front of the group, slowly pulling the Ritsu sword from its scabbard.

At the moment when Joyeus was completely unsheathed, the hilt of this one-handed sword suddenly ignited with a golden flame that was like a substance!

Immediately, the golden flames quickly retracted, turning into a two-meter-long golden giant blade like an entity, attaching to Joyeuse's sword.

Holy Knight 2nd Tier Skill: Sword of Dawn.

The Sword of Dawn can summon empty-handed, condense lightsabers, and inflict a soul-burning effect on spirits. You can also enchant the light attribute of the weapon to increase the attack range of the weapon.

Originally, the Erutsu sword was only a one-meter-long one-handed sword, and it was extremely difficult to fight on a horse.

However, with the Sword of Dawn's attack range bonus of two meters, even a one-handed sword turned into an incomparable super giant sword at this moment.

At the same time, countless points of light quickly surged towards Arya, casting a layer of golden light on the surface of her armor and shield.

Holy Knight First-Order Skill: "Holy Armor", condenses light attribute elements to shape the body, can resist various attacks, and the resistance to spell damage is particularly significant.

The red-maned vertical eye ape is already close in front of him, it is two meters tall, and its arm span is three meters, which gives people a lot of oppressive force.

It raised its giant hands, clasped them together into fists, and raised them high, like a giant hammer falling from the sky, and smashed it towards Arya!

The crimson giant hammer quickly enlarged in her vision, her eyes did not waver in the slightest, and the golden greatsword in her right hand swung upward-

Joyeus streaked across the sky with a brilliant golden light, splitting everything in his sight in two.

The ferocious hammer blow was sliced with ease in this unrivaled slash, and the wrist of the red-maned ape was severed in unison, and blood gushed out like a tide.

When the blood beads splashed on Arya's divine armor, they emitted bursts of white smoke as if they had been burned by the heat, and quickly dissipated into the air, leaving no trace on her.

The red-maned ape staggered to the ground, letting out a cry of fear.

With just one blow, this could only easily slaughter an entire ordinary mercenary team's first-order demonic beast red-maned ape, and it quickly lost its combat effectiveness in front of her.

Morgan's mouth opened wide, he didn't expect that this young girl knight was actually an inheritor! And it's still so strong!

Shouldn't the inheritor be an extremely rare existence like the chosen one?

This is the essence of the nobility of the upper city?

Although he claims to be the best intelligence dealer in the lower city, the information of the inheritor is still unreachable and uncharted territory for him.

He'd never seen this before.

"Don't stop!"

Cynthia exclaimed, "Give it the final blow!" ”

"I understand!"

Arya gritted her teeth and rode her horse past the red-maned ape's side, then raised her sword and fell.

Clean, red-maned ape's head is divided.

"Worthy of the knight of the law......"

Jiang Yiyi saw this battle in his eyes and nodded slowly.

This kind of combat power is definitely the top existence among his peers.

Although the strength she currently shows is only second-order, with the blessing of equipment such as the Law Sword, the actual combat is not much better than that of the third-order inheritor.

"Young Master."

Arya returned to Roy's side and rolled over and dismounted, her chest slightly heaving.

"Well done." Roy encouraged.

After receiving the compliment, Arya lowered her head a little embarrassed, but a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

"Pay attention to the breath and rhythm of the battle, Arya."

Cynthia pointed to the side, "Not all battles end in an instant, although we have the "gift", remember to allocate our physical strength. ”

"Gift" is a gift of the Holy Knight, and when exposed to the sun, the physical fitness and spiritual power recovery speed will be improved.

Therefore, during the day, every Holy Knight is a good fighter for protracted battles.

But she doesn't want Arya to rely too much on this talent, maintaining her own fighting rhythm and saving the physical strength expended during battle, which should be the basic skill that every mature warrior should do.

"Thank you for your advice, Lord Cynthia."

Arya bowed down seriously and said, "I know that I still have a lot of shortcomings, and I will continue to work hard to improve myself!" ”

Cynthia nodded, not saying more.

As long as Arya can always have a humble heart to learn, she will not worry that she will not improve.

Morgan on the side looked at their expressions and couldn't help but make a bold guess in his heart.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Arya's performance was comparable to that of a god, but the four of them did not show obvious surprise.

Won't it ...... All of them are inheritors, right?

The power of the inheritors is subversive in front of ordinary people, and perhaps their arrival can really reverse the trend of the battle between Black Flag and Northern Crow.

After calming down for a while, Morgan turned to Roy and smiled: "Lord Roy, this red-maned ape is full of treasures, especially its kidneys and whips, but they are all men's great tonic ingredients, don't waste it." ”

The red-maned ape is a magical beast that most mercenaries avoid, let alone hunt it, so its price in the market has always been high.

Warcraft is a special fierce beast that can control spiritual power and control the law of power, so there is also a saying among the folk that eating the meat of Warcraft can increase the chance of awakening and becoming an inheritor.

Of course, this is just a rumor, but the too small probability of awakening and the extremely noble status of the inheritor make most people have the mentality of giving it a try and are eager for the ingredients of Warcraft.

As long as you can transport this red-maned ape back to the city, you can make a lot of money.

Roy glanced at the huge corpse and shook his head: "You can bring it, but you can only bring a little." There is no more space in our carriage, and we have to hurry to get there, so let's leave the excess here. ”

"Tsk, I don't know which lucky passer-by is cheaper."

Morgan shook his head regretfully, pulled out a knife for cutting, and began to retrieve the essence of the red-maned ape.

Jiang Qiyi also walked towards the corpse, she discussed it with Morgan, and together they turned the corpse over and examined it carefully.

Roy asked, "Did you find anything?" ”

"Mr. Morgan said just now that the red-maned ape should not appear in the plains, and I thought it was strange, so I planned to check the traces on its body."

Jiang Yiyi pointed to the back of the corpse with a serious expression, "Look, there is really a problem." ”
