Chapter 52: Strange People

"My lord! Run! There is a dead forest ahead, and I will be able to stop that beast for a while, so I'll stop it! ”

A group of cavalry from Ayutthaya is frantically urging the horses forward, but this time it's not their prey that they're chasing, it's a huge youkai chasing them!

This demon wolf is extremely fast, and the lines emanating from the crystallization part are all over the body, snatching the light of the smooth silver-white fur of the body, and there are sharp bone spurs on the hind hooves and skull, which looks very aggressive.

Sometimes a single burst can knock down a horse, leaving the horse's cavalry powerless to resist.

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy who was called an "adult" by the Han was riding on a black horse in the lead, holding something in his arms.

At this time, the young man's expression was very ugly, and he never dreamed that this transportation mission would attract such a powerful monster.

In a box...... What the hell is it in!

Long before transporting it, the man had repeatedly instructed that this object would attract a group of demons to snoop on, and it was best to bring more cavalry with great combat power.

He could still recall the arrogance of the Westerners around him, with white skin, blue eyes, and a high nose, and a three-dimensional sculpture-like Westerner who looked like a three-dimensional sculpture revealed disdain for their cavalry at every turn.

If it weren't for the fear of the behemoth behind the other party, as the young city lord of Longcheng, he really wanted to draw a knife and hack the other party to death!

"Ahh

"Ahh

The screams behind them continued to sound, and the demon wolf seemed to be teasing them, breaking out from time to time to solve one person, and then following them unhurriedly.

The long knife can't leave a trace on the wolf demon! The fierce man on weekdays is armed with a heavy gun, and he can only leave a white spot on his body!

Not to mention the bow and arrow, that thing is just tickling the other party!

What about the demons who said yes?

The boy was desperate, he would rather face a group of low-level monsters than be chased by this wolf demon he had never seen before.

The cavalry of nearly fifty people is the strongest cavalry combat power in Longcheng, and the cavalry may not be valuable, but every war horse killed is enough to make the young man feel distressed.

Hurry into the dead woods, and there are less than ten people left around him.

The big man who had been following him before, the moment he turned around and pounced, the panicked horse threw him to the ground, and was caught by the wolf demon's sharp claws!

At this time, he was followed by a small swordsman with a black feather shirt embroidered with the emblem of Long City.

"My lord, after walking through this dead forest, after walking through the land of death, we will abandon our war horses and run into the mountains, which is the territory of Yae Village, and the legend has it that there is a fox god guarding it, and that beast must not dare to come in!"

"Yae Village?"

The young man's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Doesn't their shrine maiden have the power of a guard?" After that, let the shrine maiden kill that beast and return the pistol! That way, we'll be able to get this back to the city with peace of mind. ”

The short man who was sitting on the horse and jolted sneered, "My lord, the previous generation of shrine shrine maidens has been killed in battle, and the current generation of shrine shrine maidens in Yaemura should not have been selected yet." Their main forces were concentrated in patrols. ”

The young man's face stiffened after just a few seconds of joy, and he obviously believed in the legendary shrine maiden who could compete with the Oshiro Shogun more than the patrol.

"There's no other way?" The boy does not give up.

"My lord! We will rest in Yae Village for a few days, find someone to go to the city to ventilate the news, and even if the general is unable to come due to his injuries, those Westerners will send a powerful military ...... No, they seem to call the warriors knights. ”

"Don't talk about it." The boy's face was gloomy, and it was clear that those people did not make a good impression on him.

The short man immediately shut up.

The Yingzhou ancient horse is one of the oldest horses, a typical grassland horse breed, with an average height of only 120~142 cm.

The body is stout, the limbs are short but extremely powerful, and the vitality is extremely strong, and it can survive in some extreme environments.

These horses had to slow down when they entered the dead woods, not to mention the bladed wolf demons, who were more than twice the size of the horses.

"Woo! ——”

The running demon wolf seemed to know something, raised its head and roared, and its strong leg muscles burst out with strong thrust.

The fierce mouth opened and bit the cavalry on the last war horse in half with a leap!

The war horse was frightened by the breath of the wolf demon and trembled, and the front legs of the war horse that was close to it were weak and fell to the ground one after another.

The boy and the others rushed into the dead woods, and this time, there were only five fingers left of them.

......

Yaeji and his sisters bypassed the side road, but they were only some distance away from getting out of the dead woods, which could make the crowd on the horses panic, if it weren't for the low-level demons, they would be at least a monster of the same level as the bear demons.

No matter which of these two encounters, Yae Ji doesn't want to face it.

Yaeki is not panicked at all, but he still has Sakura and Rin to protect.

Although Sakura's combat power has surpassed that of ordinary patrol members, Yae Ji still doesn't want Sakura to do it until the necessary moment.

Similar to the evolved Bear Demon and the Scarlet Wolf Demon, they can smell the breath of humans within a certain range, even if they have special sachets on them.

This kind of thing has happened to Yaeki more than once.

"Brother." Sakura behind her gripped the hilt of her sword, "I always feel like they're running in our direction." If the youkai pass by ......"

Yaeji's face darkened slightly, and he obviously knew more about the characteristics of youkai than Sakura.

Quickly unfasten the harness and attach it to Sakura's body.

"Take care of Rin."

Yae Ji commanded, and the whole person rushed up with the help of instantaneous skills.

"Smack~"

The hand grasped the branch, and the whole person hung there.

"People, people, people...... Goblin. ”

As soon as Yaeji's eyes lit up, he was a demon.

"Click~"

Looking up to the left, the branch he was holding on to had not yet had time to replenish due to a long drought and lack of water......

"Bang!"

Yae Ji gasped, it was impossible for him to perform a momentary step when he jumped down, stepping directly on the ground from a high place, directly shaking his legs.

"Brother? Are you okay? ”

"It's fine." Yae Ji grasped the scabbard on his waist, and in just a moment, the knife made of stone concentrate turned into Sakurabukiyuki.

"You take Rin and stay away."

Yae Sakura nodded her little head obediently and walked towards the depths with Rin on her back.

Yae Ji knew very well that if it was just him, he would definitely turn around and leave without saying a word. But there are Sakura and Rin behind him, and he can outrun the war horse, so what about the two of them?

The monster doesn't care who you are, and whoever is close to it will attack.

Unless...... Something is attracting it.

Not far away, the young man, who had just entered the dead woods, held his breath and tried to control the war horse so that it would not hit the tree with a hot head.

Suddenly, he saw a figure in front of him.

"Run! There's a demon in the back! ”

The boy yelled, but the figure remained motionless.

Yaeji slandered in his heart.

"If it weren't for the demon you attracted, would I be like this?"

"Don't be stunned! Run! ”

The distance was getting closer, and the boy's roar was also heard in the ears.

"You run to the side!"

Yaeji was even more speechless, thinking that he was kind.

However, there is a very serious problem that has not been resolved.

His legs were still numb.

......
