Chapter 40: The Brave and the Beast
Ai Suyan looked nervously at Qiao Bo, a specious light refracted in his sky-blue pupils.
"Do you mean that this time the calamity will be unprecedented, and that our hopes are gone?" he asked, pretending to be anxious, and the sword in his hand was slowly drawn out of its scabbard, but it was able to stop at the first rayof light.
Qiao Bo's face suddenly lost its former look: "Indeed, this place is far from the nearest village and town, if the forest beasts really attack, we are doomed." ”
The prince was silent, but listened intently: was this fierce drumbeat really just an accident?
The earthquake in the Sword God's Chamber has already affected this place, maybe it was the rash actions of the villagers that destroyed the tranquility of the forest later, so it pulled out the long-dormant Beastmaster?
But this power does give a huge sense of oppression... Ai Suyan squinted, and then he found that the villagers had already become a mess of porridge, and the cut wood was scattered on the ground, which looked like a messy garbage dump.
Even the sky overhead suddenly changed color, and the gray clouds made a sense of oppression and foreboding... Ai Suyan looked up: So what kind of despair will ensue?
A second later, the prince's figure suddenly began to move, swift and graceful like a light wind.
Immediately, in the depths of the forest, a huge black shadow finally revealed its true face. I saw it slowly approach, so that the darkness began to fade over it.
Although it was only about the height of a normal human, it was unusually large, with thick soles of feet that brought up puffs of dust every time they stepped on the ground, and two long, narrow and sharp fangs protruding from the sides of the lips and teeth, long enough to penetrate the chest of any adult man.
And its fur is very unique, it actually takes on a precious amber color, which is an ancient and noble status symbol, and on the right side of its colorful cheeks, a long scar runs from the corner of the eye to the mouth, which also adds a rough and savage image to it.
The sound of the beasts rushing came to an abrupt end, and the villagers looked intently, only to find that the enemy in front of them was pacing slightly, gasping for breath in their mouths, and staring at them with solemn eyes.
Immediately they could no longer make any sound, only their eyes were filled with fear.
The Beastmaster paused, and then when everyone was defenseless, he suddenly raised his head and let out a deafening roar towards the sky, and then dozens of bladed war wolves with green eyes and salivating at the corners of their mouths appeared behind it at the same time, and their eyes were full of hatred and anger for humans.
They originally came from the deep forest, but at this moment, they were lined up in front of the humans of the entire village, and their sharp claws flashed with cold light.
The human form trembled, and the logging axes in their hands looked small and weak.
"The leader is the Ancestral Tiger, we're finished," said a timid villager in a trembling voice.
At the same time, the situation changed in an instant.
I saw the Ancestral Tiger in front of the herd let out a low roar, and the forefoot slammed against the ground violently, and then at that moment, a huge bladed wolf panting suddenly roared, and then unstoppably pounced on a villager on the edge of the human group. In the messy wind, its scattered black hair was particularly cold, as if it only took a moment to tear apart the weak human in front of it.
The desperate villagers just stood dumbfounded, and everything seemed to have run out of steam.
However, at this moment, a silver crescent-shaped light wave suddenly fell from the sky, hitting the back of the wolf impartially, and then in the amazed eyes of everyone, this blade wolf seemed to be completely unable to withstand this blow, and its body suddenly slipped to the ground, and after a whimpering sound came out of its mouth, it collapsed on the ground.
The leading Ancestral Tiger and the villagers all looked up at the source of the light wave, which was the top of a towering and dense tree.
Prince Aisuyan stood high above the treetops, looking down on everything in the forest, the sword in his hand had just been withdrawn, but there was still silver brilliance scattered on the blade.
I was going to find their weak spot and attack again... But the wolf's speed was so fast that he had to strike first... He silently thought: However, the number of beasts is too large, and I am afraid that I will not be able to protect these villagers today...
He jumped down from the tree, and landed as light as a feather, and at this moment before his eyes, all the war beasts in the forest were stunned, and the villagers, as if they had seen a savior, came forward to ask for the prince's help.
"Stand back, gentlemen. Ai Suyan said calmly, at this moment, he was standing between the wolves and the villagers, looking at the surging beasts in front of him, even if he was as witty as him, he couldn't help but let out a wry smile: "Hey, who made me always like to be compassionate like this?"
Although the Ancestor Tiger Battle Group in front of them collectively showed a fierce light, they did not immediately launch a pounce on the front, but waited for an opportunity to pant heavily, and their eyes looked ahead with blazing eyes.
The villagers did not flee in all directions, because everyone knew that the speed of the beast was obviously much faster than that of ordinary humans who had been in battle for a long time.
At the same time, they learn that if Essusan eventually falls, then everyone's lives will come to an end.
So they all exhaled slightly, and their eyes revealed a sense of imminent crisis.
The sword in Ai Suyan's hand was raised slightly, and there was also a hint of seeing death as if he were at home.
At this moment, he heard a hearty voice coming from behind everyone.
"Why are you so depressed, friend, I have come all the way from Iliel, and this is the first time I have seen a truly brave man like you. ”
Then the source of the voice began to slowly approach: "You must know that you are not the only brave person on this continent!"
"So, why are you fighting alone?" and then there was a crisp thud that sounded like the sound of a sword unsheathed.
Ai Suyan turned around slightly and smiled: "You guy, why do you give me a feeling of familiarity at first sight?"
I saw that the person who came was dressed in white armor, holding a sharp sword with a phoenix pattern carved on the end handle, and in the gap between the silver helmet on his head, a pair of slender and long green ears stretched outward, which looked very cute, needless to say, this is an elf who does not belong here, Ai Suyan was silent, just let the other party approach quietly.
The elf's gaze leisurely swept over the beasts in front of him, but he stopped in front of the leading Ancestor Tiger impartially, and then he seemed to understand something, and actually sighed softly, and the atmosphere was silent for a while.
"What's wrong with you, friend?" asked the prince, puzzled.
"The scar on the Ancestral Tiger's cheek reminds me of something from a long time ago. His tone was still pretending to be relaxed: "By the way, my name is Randall, I'm from Ysu City, and I'm one of the Phoenix Guards in front of the Elven Prince Byrons, so it's really a coincidence that I was able to meet you here this time." ”
"By the way, your beautiful pure blue pupils, at first glance I thought they were magical!" he said casually.
Then he calmly turned his head: "Now listen to me, at this moment, there is only one way to save the village from fire and water. ”
Ai Suyan also felt quite curious for a while: he heard that the elven race's way of doing things is often efficient and direct, but it was only a few seconds of effort, what did he see?
Randall only smiled slightly: "First of all, we must force this group of beasts back into the forest, and this Ancestral Tiger is precisely the core of the herd, as long as it severely damages its body and makes it incapacitated, maybe the beasts will retreat without a fight." ”
The prince was only stunned and said, "It's easy to say, but there are a lot of blade wolves around it, can it be said that it wants to make a sudden attack?"
However, Randall nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, and at an unexpected time. ”
Ai Su Yan couldn't help but shake his head: "Time is pressing, if it's just imagination, then it's still important to get down to business, now, fight with me!" Then the sword in his hand was raised again, his gaze as firm as iron.
Randal spread his hands helplessly: "Don't be in such a hurry! Now, be prepared for a fatal blow. ”
Then his voice continued to hear: "First of all, I will do my best to attack the Ancestral Tiger and attract its attention, while you are responsible for diverting the wolves and observing the situation, however, it is still impossible to achieve the killing. ”
"So I'm going to pretend to be thrown to the ground by it. Looking at Essusyan's surprised expression, Randall just said to himself, "But to ensure safety, I will use the magic barrier to protect myself, and you, you must see the moment when it pounces on me, and when you are satisfied, you will appear from behind and knock it unconscious, and I will thank you for your cooperation." ”
"Now, the real battle is near. Randal looked at the prince with a determined gaze. At the same time, the beast battle group in front of them was already ready to move, and the fear of the villagers was clearly transmitted to everyone, and the trembling bodies seemed to be shattered in the next second.
"Okay, I promise you. Ai Suyan came back to his senses and said categorically.
