Lord Xue Ying's
Chapter 36 – Thousands Miles Travel
Second day, at dawn.
Zong Ling, Tong San, Qing Shi, You Yue, and the others gathered to send Xue Ying.
"Uncle Zong, I leave all matters related to the castle to you," Xue Ying declared.
"Don't worry, Xue Ying," Zong Ling replied. In the past six years, Zong Ling had not only been lazing around. He had finally reached the Meteor rank.
"Brother, careful!" Said Qing Shi. After a long time, he no longer had any memories of their parents. It was Xue Ying who had always taken care of him, and therefore he was very attached to his elder brother.
"Brother Xue Ying, I will wait for you to return!" You Yue shouted.
"Ha……"
"Yes!"
The Snowstrider Horse immediately kicked up the dust as he darted. It quickly accelerated and quickly disappeared into the distance.
……
Xue Ying first went to Water Rites Town to inform Lord Si An. Lord Si An then immediately sent the information to the Dragon Mountain Manor located in Azure River County. Without a break, Xue Ying hurriedly went towards the prefecture city of Azure River County.
The Azure River County stretched over a wider area of a thousand miles.
The distance from Xue Ying castle to Azure River County Prefectural city was about 6,000 miles. But the road is not always straight. Some parts even make you meander through the mountains. So the actual distance of the road can reach over 10,000 miles!
Xue Ying was dressed in black, dragging the weapon box on his back, as he rode the Snowstrider Horse.
The Snowstrider ran like the wind, looking like a mirage.
The Snowstrider Horse was a rank three horse-type magical beast. It is considered the best among its kind. Although there were many other superior magical beasts, horse-type magical beasts had a natural tendency towards speed. The speed of a rank three horse-type magical beast was comparable to the speed of an ordinary rank four magic beast. In fact, with his strength as a Legend-ranked expert, the purpose of riding a Snowstrider Horse was to keep a low profile. With his full strength, not to mention a rank five magical beast, even a flying-type ferocious beast would not match his speed!
"Clop clop clop!"
As the Snowstrider Horse dashed forward, the ground trembled faintly, leaving behind a shadow after passing by.
The speed reaches 900 miles per hour. Without armor, even a Sky Rank Knight would not dare to block it. But the Snowstrider Horse was valued at 2,000 gold coins. Thus, 20 Snowstrider Horses would be equivalent to the total value of the Snow Eagle Territory! Because of this, the common clan could not afford it. Xue Ying had also just bought it. Only after he sold Shadow Leopard skins and other precious body parts could he spend some money to buy five Snowstrider Horses.
"Stop, stop, Frost Jade Mountain is in front of us." There were several merchants gathered in front of a large valley. They began to shout when they saw the Snowstrider Horse approaching from a distance.
“Friends, please stop for a moment. Let's cross the Frost Jade Mountain together. ”
"The Frost Jade Mountain is a dangerous area!"
Many people within this group of merchants, as well as their bodyguards, warned Xue Ying.
Hu
The speed of the Snowstrider Horse did not slow down at all, it just flashed like a shadow.
"Crazy!" Said some merchant guards, puzzled.
“The knights are crazy! Did he think riding a Snowstrider Horse would allow him to travel across the mountain safely?
"Frost Jade Mountain, can you blindly pass through this kind of place so easily?"
……
"Frost Jade Mountain?" Xue Ying, who was riding the Snowstrider Horse, kept his surroundings sharp. Clearly, he also heard the shouts of the merchant group. "If I want to continue towards the prefecture city of Azure River County, I will have to pass through this Frost Jade Mountain. Several parts of Frost Jade Mountain and the Mountain Range of Desolation were merged into one. Frost Jade Mountain was also occupied by many groups of bandits, who often plundered merchants who passed through the mountain. The bandit group here is even more savage than our Bent Blade Union Water Rites Town. ”
But for Xue Ying?
In the entire Azure River Region, the only ones who could threaten him were the other Legend-ranked experts. Moreover, they would only be able to threaten him, whether they would win. As for the bandit group? They all look without any substance!
"Hw"
The Snowstrider horse ran like the wind. Although they could not see it, from afar, one could feel the earth trembling.
"Where did this black-clothed man come from? He dared to enter the Frost Mountain Valley alone? ”
"Did he have a death wish?"
" Boss, should we attack or not?
“Strike, my ass! We can't risk attacking this guy. Just give him to the 'Eight Frost Jade Eagles' to prey on. ”Some bandits, who saw a horseman passing by, would choose to give up. As bandits, they also had to consider the risks and benefits they could afford.
After walking for several miles, Xue Ying finally arrived at the central part of the Frost Jade Mountain Valley.
Higher up in the mountain, there was a large group of bandits, wearing blue armor uniforms. There were, in total, several hundred bandits who were all well prepared. It seemed that every bandit had superior armor and carried a huge arrow, and not just any ordinary arrow, but the Star Breaking Crossbow! This group is no ordinary bandit. This was the largest bandit group within Frost Jade Mountain, led by eight bandit leaders, The Eight Frost Jade Eagles.
Among them were three Meteor rank experts, two Heaven Mages, and three Heaven Knights. These eight people together are known as the 'Eight Eagles'.
"Ha ha, our harvest today is quite good, let alone this caravan has good ingredients." Next to them were some people who had been captured alive. Most of the caravan companies have been killed. Leaving only about ten survivors, among them were the elderly, some middle-aged adults, and a young couple. The couple had lodged in each other, with fear reflected in their eyes. They are afraid for their lives.
“Let's go back and rest, then check their background. Maybe we can make up for some money from their families. ”In the Frost Jade Eight Eagles group, every member has violence and cruelty. Each of them has a gift in their head; they are heartless and will do anything to achieve their goals ..
"Leader, hurry, look! There's a knight dressed in black coming! ”
"One man, riding a Snowstrider Horse."
The bandits immediately reported.
The eight 'Eagles' looked towards the distant valley. Someone is heading towards them.
"He dared to approach himself?"
"Did he underestimate our Frost Jade Mountain? Big Bro, should we act? ”Seven other 'Eagles' asked their sister.
The great boss of the Frost Jade Eight Eagles looked down, he furrowed his brows, “There are only a handful of Legend-ranked experts in Azure River County, each of them famous throughout the country. I could recognize them from their looks, there was nothing poor and shabby to ride a very small Snowstrider horse. This black-clothed youngster, he looked very young, dragging the weapon box that should have contained a spear. Who her? Have you heard of him? Could he be a Silver Moon rank Knight? ”
"Sister brothers! Release the arrow, let's investigate him. "The big boss ordered," If this bone is too hard to chew, we'll just walk away. If he is weak, then we will prey on him! "
"Yes!"
Suddenly all the bandits, including the Big Boss, took out a huge arrow or a large bow.
Ordinary bandits could show great strength when using the Star Breaking Crossbow. It was enough to pierce through the Meteor Knight's protective dou qi! However, the Big Boss and the other Meteor Knights were more suited using bows. The arrows released by the Meteor Knight could even threaten the life of the Silver Moon Knight. With this arrow, it would be enough to determine the strength of that black-clothed youngster.
What they did not know was, what problem would their arrows pose to this black-clothed youngster.
"Let go!" The big boss's orders.
Xiu xiu xiu ……
From above, many arrows shot down. As strong as a veil, a wave of arrows fell towards Xue Ying, who was speeding towards them.
