Chapter 13 The Journey of Crisis (11)
After having a little baby at home, I found that everything was around the little guy. What's even more tragic is that the heavy responsibility of taking care of this little guy was not given to the old man as I had expected, but was pressed on me! I tried hard to transform into a super dad, but I was really sleepy!
----------------------
"Bang!" On the shaking carriage, a crisp sound suddenly came from Xu Fei's waist. Xu Fei, who was leaning against the carriage, showed a confused expression on his face, but then his face became very ugly when he saw the broken gem on his waist.
"There's someone coming back!" Xu Fei said in an extremely serious voice on the team channel. Although his tone was serious, there was not much content. Because the messaging gem on his waist could only transmit a magic signal of something passing within twenty kilometers. Perhaps the one that touched the magic circle was a beast, or perhaps a branch, but it was more likely to be a human. Because the messaging magic circle arranged by Xu Fei was on the road, and beasts and other things would not wander around the road in the forest.
The most important thing is to prevent the magic array from being triggered at will, wasting the messaging gem mechanism that Xu Fei had finally retained. This messaging magic array was placed under the ground by Xu Fei and the Zodiac. Only when the huge weight falls on it will the magic array be triggered. Xu Fei and the Zodiac worked hard to adjust, and even used the several magic crystals found in the spoils to arrange such a garbage messaging magic array. As for why it is garbage, because this magic array exists for a short time, and even if it is not triggered, it can only exist for less than 12 hours.
At the same time, the detection range of the magic circle is extremely small, and a expensive messenger stone is attached. For Chen Kai and the others at this moment, even if there will be no financial problems due to shortage of money in a short period of time, the days when they used to hand over hundreds of thousands of gold coins have been completely gone. Therefore, it is impossible to lose a messenger stone worth tens of thousands of gold coins without any pain, but this loss is still worth it compared to the information obtained.
"How far?" Chen Kai turned his head and looked at the edge of the forest that was already far away. They were surrounded by endless grasslands. The color of the grass gradually changed from green to grayish yellow as the distance from the forest.
"At least fifteen kilometers!" Xu Fei's words made everyone feel a little relieved. The distance of fifteen kilometers is definitely not far. If you have a good view, you may be able to see it by standing on a slightly higher hillside. Of course, if you want to say it is close, it is definitely not close, especially if it is a distance of fifteen kilometers under forest terrain, it takes more than ten minutes for a war horse to gallop.
"The fourth brother! Notify that stubborn old man Sabining! Someone followed us and let him decide whether to turn the direction or continue to walk along the current road!" Chen Kai said to Fei Yun who had jumped down from the carriage, and then summoned Lar and jumped up.
"Boss! Where are you going?" Zhao Tiezhu looked at Chen Kai jumping onto the Lal and couldn't help asking, but then he closed his mouth, because no matter what angle he looked at, Chen Kai was heading towards the forest, which means he was now preparing to risk his life to check out the so-called people in the forest.
"Be careful with your own safety! If the situation is wrong, protect the black dwarves and retreat first! As for the gray dwarves!... Let them be blessed!" This was the sound from Chen Kai in the team channel. He didn't dare to shout like this and that openly, he would definitely be hostile to those gray dwarves.
"Let's go! Lar!" Accompanied by Lar's loud neighing, the huge horse's hooves stepped heavily on the grass that was still carrying a hint of green. The extremely strong horse's hooves instantly crushed the grass leaves into scattered fragments and juice. At the same time, the golden vest on Lar's body exuded a charming luster in the sun. Relatively speaking, the bear skin on Chen Kai's body was much ugly. However, this bear skin is also something that Chen Kai can wear now. The bear skin is decorated with extremely strong iron pieces to enhance the defense strength of this simple version of bear skin armor. Chen Kai also carries a heavy horn helmet on the forehead, and several thick iron pieces or iron plates are decorated to prevent Chen Kai's head from being directly shot.
Chen Kai, wearing this outfit, looked like a barbarian and like a temple knight. The most important thing is that his outfit was extremely inconsistent with the war horse under his crotch, as if a human-shaped giant ape was riding on a handsome war horse. The two were very inconsistent, but Chen Kai now, no matter how bad his image was, it was important for him to protect his life. However, Chen Kai knew very well how low the defense of the bearskin armor on his body was. If it weren't for those iron sheets, it might be possible to pierce the bearskin he was wearing on his body. If he met the archer who had attacked them before, even those iron sheets could not resist the opponent's arrow several kilometers away.
Chen Kai knew very well that he could never step into the forest, because if the archer had not died, then the result would be unlucky to step into the forest. Chen Kai could imagine that his head was easily pierced by the feather arrows, even if the helmet was covered with iron pieces, it would definitely not be able to block the terrible arrow. However, Chen Kai felt that the archer was probably dead under the terrible lightning. Although in his heart he still felt that the other party was still alive. Sometimes it was better to think about things well than to be worried all day long.
Lar was very fast. Almost before his muscles were fully moved, Chen Kai was about to reach the edge of the forest. When approaching the edge of the forest, Chen Kai grabbed Lar's reins and jumped down from Lar's upright body. Almost as he rushed into the forest, Lar had been put into the pet space. The whole movement was as smooth as a flowing water. However, his huge body made his movements like an extremely bloated bear. Of course, with a flash of green light, Chen Kai's body suddenly shrank a large circle. Within ten minutes of relying on the reduction scroll made by He Liwen, he could maintain a physical activity half a head higher than an ordinary human. Of course, the bear leather armor on his body was directly stuffed into his backpack by Chen Kai. While he changed the bear leather armor and put on a pretty exquisite leather armor.
The dark green leather armor gave Chen Kai a natural protective color when he walked into the forest, but as long as his body moved, he would be discovered immediately. After all, the forest is not dark green, especially during the day, the color difference is more obvious.
Of course, Chen Kai did not think that his skin could allow him to escape the ending of being discovered. He just hoped that he could be discovered later. After changing into the leather armor, Chen Kai used his unskilled scout skills to slowly touch the deep forest. In fact, Fei Yun would do the best for this kind of reconnaissance. However, due to the last problem, Chen Kai decided to come over to do this dangerous thing himself. After all, he was rough and thick in skin and fat, and unless he was hit directly by someone, he could successfully run away with his own ability.
Because they were close to the edge of the forest, the trees in the whole forest were not dense. What made Chen Kai feel uneasy was also the unusual quietness in the forest, without the chirping of birds or the hiss of wild beasts. Even when they passed by before, they could at least hear some birds singing, but now there was no sound of crickets. The quiet forest made Chen Kai feel very uneasy. He subconsciously took back his foot that was about to step out, and then curled up behind a low bush.
Chen Kai tried hard to curl his body. He now regretted that he was too arrogant. Because if Fei Yun was here, he could easily shrink into the shadows by shrinking his body behind the bushes. Now he could only hope that he could curl up his body as much as possible to avoid possible explorations. But regret was useless. Chen Kai could only try his best to control his breathing and recall in his mind what would happen if Fei Yun was in the current situation. However, he soon found that this kind of memory was useless because Fei Yun was a thief but he was not. He might not be able to use the skills that the thief could use. The most important thing is that he had not specially trained scout skills.
"Damn it! It's really unreliable to sharpen your guns before the battle!" Chen Kai kept thinking in his head, and then regretted his impulse, but he still lay on the ground and leaned on the ground and listened to the movements around him. The vibrations conveyed on the ground gradually turned from far to near, and eventually turned into a soft sound of horse hooves. Chen Kai was extremely familiar with this sound, which was the sound that only occurred when a large number of war horses moved. These sounds were extremely dense, like the ticking sound of raindrops falling on the ground. However, this ticking sound soon turned into a dense drumbeat, constantly hitting Chen Kai's ears.
Less than ten seconds later, Chen Kai jumped up from the ground and ran wildly towards the edge of the forest. Chen Kai knew very well that his behavior was definitely an exposing goal, but he knew even more that if he didn't jump out and run away, then there would be only one next time, and that would be dead. Although he could not judge the number of cavalry riding war horses, he knew very well that it was definitely not a small number. Because he found that the sound of horse hooves was extremely close to the sound of horse hooves he had when he had black armored cavalry. However, compared with Chen Kai's black armored cavalry trained by Drake, these cavalry were obviously a bit chaotic. At least the sound of horse hooves of war horses was more chaotic, not the dense horse hooves of trained. Even if the sound of horse hooves was chaotic, there were thousands of cavalry, but thousands of pigs, so Chen Kai could only choose to jump out of the bushes and escape instead of hudding there and waiting for death.
Almost the moment Chen Kai jumped out of the bushes, the masked cavalry in the forest discovered him, and the attacks were the archers among the cavalry. In fact, they were not regular troops, but horse thieves and bandits operating in the western wilderness. Their purpose of attacking these dwarves was very simple, which was to rob. Because they heard that the dwarves had loaded a large sum of wealth in a carriage, and the person who conveyed the news was the archer who brought these horse thieves into the forest. The archer hidden in the bushes did not shoot feather arrows at Chen Kai, of course it was not because his quiver was empty, but because he did not want to help these masked horse thieves at all.
He cooperated with these horse thieves just because he needed these horse thieves to delay the dwarf's pace. Even if these horse thieves died, he would not be sad. Although he was surprised by Chen Kai's appearance, he did not move at all. In fact, he wanted Chen Kai to pass on the news of these horse thieves back and let the dwarfs spend more time running in the wilderness to delay time. Therefore, he did not attack Chen Kai, but chose to pull down the hood on his head and slowly hide into the shadow of the forest.
However, even though this terrifying archer did not take action, Chen Kai encountered a large attack. Hundreds of feather arrows fell towards his body like locusts. Because Chen Kai could not use the magic body step and the death dance step to run with all his strength under the shrinking technique, although his speed was still very fast, he could only avoid those feather arrows.
The extremely dense feather arrows kept falling behind Chen Kai, nailing to the ground and on the tree stalks. Chen Kai could clearly hear the sound of the arrows in his ears drilling into the wood, and also hear the whizzing sound of the feather arrows breaking through the air. Each of the feather arrows that kept falling almost hit Chen Kai's body, but in the end he was almost avoided.
"You trash! Shoot him to death! Shoot him to death!" Just as Chen Kai was glad that he could escape the wave of feather arrows and was about to continue running wildly, an extremely angry voice came from behind him.
"Grass! I'm going to provoke you!" Chen Kai had the urge to raise his middle finger to the voice owner, but he quickly turned this impulse into a driving force for a rush, because he saw thousands of feather arrows exploding in the corner of his eyes. These feather arrows even collided with each other in the air, and when they shot over, Chen Kai felt a dark cloud pounced towards him.
Chen Kai's only choice was to indent behind a big tree on the side. Listening to the extremely dense agitated sound on the tree pole, he didn't know how many feather arrows were inserted into the stud behind him. But he knew very well that if these feather arrows were inserted into him, he would definitely shoot himself into meat sauce. Chen Kai also knew that it was definitely not a solution to shrink behind this tree, because the masked cavalry were surrounding him. The longer he stayed in this place, the more unsafe he would stay in this place, and maybe he would face dozens of masked people in a few seconds. At the same time, as long as Chen Kai stayed for a while, the enemies he faced could double, and maybe the enemies that appeared in front of him would change from dozens to hundreds.
Therefore, after taking a quick breath, Chen Kai ran forward directly, keeping his body straight and not exposed to the shooting range of bows and arrows. However, after only less than ten meters, Chen Kai had to face the feather arrows that broke through the air again. What made him feel scared was that as he got closer and closer to the edge of the forest, the trees became more and more low and sparse, and thus the difficulty of his avoidance of feather arrows began to soar.
Now Chen Kai is facing two roads, that is, to continue running to the outside of the forest, and the result is one word death, while hiding in the forest is also one word death. Because facing bows and arrows on the empty grassland, Chen Kai does not think that his magical body steps can allow him to avoid the attack of thousands of arrows. However, when he saw his pet badge, he suddenly came up with an idea. Although this idea may not be successful, Chen Kai still wanted to take a gamble.
"Don't you! Donnie!" Chen Kai shook the pet badge in his hand, and the flying dragon who had been sleeping in the pet space was summoned by him. Although the flying dragon's size was not enough to carry Chen Kai to fly, as long as he blessed himself with the wings of the Battle Angel, he could obtain a short floating effect. Even if the effect was short enough to only a few seconds, it was enough to allow Donnie to take him to a height of hundreds of meters and then glide for thousands of meters.
"Woo~~~" When the loud sound of the dragon sounded, Donnie's huge body flew out of the pet space. The moment Donnie appeared, Chen Kai directly activated the wings of the Battle Angel and grabbed Donnie's claws with one hand. At the moment when his claws were caught, Donnie felt that his body became very heavy, because although Chen Kai was controlled by the reduction technique, his weight did not become much lighter. It was not until the golden wings in the sky appeared. Chen Kai's body became lighter under the action of the floating technique, and then Donnie pulled Chen Kai and soared into the sky in an instant.
"Flying...Flying Dragon!!" The masked cavalry felt a dragon power when Donny appeared. Although the dragon power was very thin, it directly made the war horses under the crotch of the cavalry close to Chen Kai begin to turn into soft-legged shrimps. Some timid war horses even had shit and urine tools under the utter mat. Then the four hooves were limp and slumped on the ground. It was precisely because of this that Donny would not be greeted by the feather arrows when they soared into the air, otherwise Donny's huge body would definitely be attacked by the feather arrows at the first time.
"Continue shooting for me! That's just a minor flying dragon, you idiots! Look at the good things you did, you actually let me go such a good flying dragon away!" Seeing Chen Kai rising into the air, the leader of the masked man roared loudly, but this roar seemed very powerless. Because just when he roared, Donnie had already soared into the sky with his wings and soared to a height of nearly a thousand meters, and Chen Kai was extremely scared at this moment, holding Donnie's claws with one hand. As long as he let go, he would carry out a free fall movement and then create a pile of meat mud on the ground.
When Donny flew to nearly two thousand meters above the altitude, Chen Kai could no longer maintain the floating effect of fighting the angel wings on his body. He could only grab Donny's claws hard and then let Donny enter the gliding posture. Feeling that the master's weight under his body suddenly became several times heavier. Donny's wings became difficult, so he could only try to spread his wings to prevent himself from falling from the sky with his master. The spreading wings made Donny take Chen Kai to slowly fall down, but this kind of fall process was slow and gliding. The gliding speed was a little faster, but Chen Kai was still out of danger no matter what.
