"Hey!"
Ray shouted angrily. He jumped up and landed on the weapon of the Cyclops, which was holding a big tree as a club. He ran along the tree and rushed to its head. Ray's sword flashed.
The huge monster let out a fearful roar, but it only lasted for half a second before it started to pant. Dark red blood mixed with bubbles spurted out, turning into countless bloody froth that flowed all over the ground.
Its huge body shook a few times and fell to the ground powerlessly, as if there was an earthquake.
At this time, Ray had already jumped back to the ground and looked around with his sword.
The surroundings were a mess. There were all kinds of monsters, merchants, and bodyguards lying on the ground.
Because their leader had been killed, the remaining monsters scattered. The battlefield, which had been a fierce battle not long ago, was now only left with the mournful cries of the wounded.
Seeing that the monsters had been killed or driven away, the leader of the caravan, who had been hiding under the carriage, climbed out and thanked Ray profusely, insisting on rewarding him.
Ray did not refuse. For adventurers, it was only right and proper to receive rewards after helping others. But when he saw the small bag of gems as a reward, he could not help but be a little surprised.
This was too much, somewhat against the rules.
Of course, he had contributed a lot. When the defense circle of the caravan was broken by the ogres under the command of the Cyclops, and a bloody massacre was about to break out, he was like a divine soldier descending from the sky. With one person and one sword, he defeated a large group of monsters. In the end, even the leader of this group of monsters, a legendary Cyclops, was killed by him, and the whole caravan was saved from the brink of destruction.
But no matter what, this reward was still a little too high.
However, the leader of the caravan was really good at talking, and could really be said to be a basket full of good words. Ray could not beat him in an argument, so he had to uneasily accept this huge sum of money.
In return, he decided to temporarily move with the caravan and escort them to the next town.
In the evening, when they set up camp, Steele, who had been busy treating the wounded, complained and returned to the carriage assigned to them.
"I'm so tired!" She said, "Today, I've healed more than 20 people, six of whom were fatally wounded, and I even resurrected one … I feel like I'm about to become a priest in the temple!"
"Capable people do more work. I have nothing to do anyway," Sui Xiong said with a smile. "How does it feel to save people? Do you feel happy from the bottom of your heart? "
Steele thought about it for a moment and smiled thoughtfully.
Although she didn't say anything and went straight to the side to lie down and sleep, Sui Xiong smiled when he saw the blue flame that was gently beating on the back of her right hand.
After a while, Ray returned from his patrol. There was a distinct smell of blood on his body. It was obvious that he had just fought for a while.
"What did you kill?" Sui Xiong asked.
"A chimera," Lei said carelessly.
"Oh? What kind of Chimera? "
'Chimera' was just a general term. Any magical creature whose body displayed the characteristics of several monsters could be called Chimeras. Some were good, some were evil, some were strong, and some were weak. In general, there were more evil than good, and more powerful than weak. It was a very famous kind of magical creature.
Lei handed over the space bag and said, "Here, the body is still inside. I'm going to sell it when we get to the town. This thing can probably be sold for some money. "
Sui Xiong scanned the space bag with his soul and saw that next to the huge body of the Cyclops, there was a huge monster about the height of two people. It had a dragon's head, a wolf's body, and goat's hooves. Its gray body was mostly covered by a thick black carapace. Its smooth body proved that it was extremely agile, and its sharp teeth could probably bite through steel. Its most powerful weapon was probably its three long tails. The sharp joints revealed its tough skin, like three ferocious chain swords, which were daunting. And the breath left in its mouth proved that it was not only good at fighting, but also had the ability to spit poisonous fire.
If it wasn't for the fact that it was a super expert who was only one step away from the Legendary realm, such a terrifying magical creature would be able to destroy a small town without any help. In contrast, although the Cyclops was strong, its movements were a little slow. A few good rangers were enough to defeat it.
"How does it feel to save people?" Sui Xiong asked.
"Not bad. It makes me feel like a 'knight'," Lei said with a smile. Then his face became serious and he frowned. "Just now, I vaguely felt that someone was spying on me, and that person was full of malice. That guy was so strong that I couldn't help but feel a little creeped out. "
"So powerful?" Sui Xiong was shocked. If it could make Lei so afraid, it must not be easy!
"Yes. I originally wanted to catch that Chimera alive, train it well, and use it as a mount. After all, I'm actually best at fighting on horseback. It's just that ordinary warhorses are too weak to fight at my level, so I can only fight on foot. Mounts like the Swift Dragon are very difficult to buy, and there's no market for them. So when I saw one that I could ride, I was tempted. " Lei said with some regret. "But that person's spying worried me, so I had to hurry and kill it."
Sui Xiong nodded slightly and asked, "So now, is he still spying on you?"
"No, he disappeared when I approached the caravan." Lei thought for a moment and said, "I guess … maybe he is afraid of you, Your Majesty?"
Sui Xiong was lost in thought. He spread out his spiritual sense and carefully observed the situation around him.
After a while, he finally found some clues.
There was a very inconspicuous mark, which could be overlooked if not careful, engraved on Lei's soul. This mark did not harm Lei at all, not even a little bit. Its only use was to make a mark, so that when necessary, it could be easily tracked.
When Lei was by his side, it might have felt his power, so this mark had been hidden and never sent a message. But just now, Lei had left his side and was out of his protection. So this mark was activated and sent out a message, so that the strong person who left the mark knew Lei's location.
That was why he felt that he was being spied on.
Because he was not clear about the reason, Sui Xiong did not rashly touch this mark, but told the result of his observation to Lei.
"A mark?" Lei thought for a long time and asked, "Can you tell when this mark was left?"
Sui Xiong carefully observed for a while, and then used his heart to sense for a long time. Finally, he roughly determined the time — it would not be long, at least a month, at most a year.
"Then I can roughly guess what's going on." Lei obviously had a plan in mind, and after comparing it with Sui Xiong's observation, he immediately came to a conclusion. "This may be left by the Cruel Hunter (the God of Hunt and Massacre). I attacked his temple before, and maybe it was at that time that I was left with this mark."
Not long ago, Lei made a big deal in the Western Wilderness. First, he used almost all his wealth to bribe an evil organization called "Black Axe" to help him deal with the believers of the God of Hunt and Massacre. Then he attacked the temple of the God of Hunt and Massacre while the two sides were fighting, trying to seize a crystal collected here.
Inside that crystal, there was a divine power left by the Goddess of Life. If he could get it and analyze it carefully, he might be able to understand the field of "life" and lay a solid foundation for entering the demigod realm. And if he was lucky enough, he might even be able to reach the sky in one step, obtain the Divine Title of Life, and become an immortal god.
Lei's attack did not completely achieve its goal. The high-level people of the temple deserved the nickname of "Cruel Hunter" by their own gods. They were quite vigilant and cunning, and actually escaped from the secret passage. How could Lei let them go? He chased them all the way to the Great Desert, killed them all, and seized the crystal.
It was also at that time that he met Sui Xiong. As a result, not only did the crystal fall into Sui Xiong's hands, but he was also caught by Sui Xiong, and became the mount of His Majesty the Jellyfish God until now.
Thinking carefully, it was actually not a long time ago. But when Lei looked back at this moment, he had a feeling that it was a lifetime ago.
During this period of time when he followed His Majesty the Void Mask, his life was quite hard, but also quite fulfilling. Especially when he gradually regained the ideals of his youth and realized that he was slowly returning to the path of a knight, he was inexplicably moved and filled with his heart.
At this moment, looking back, it was really like what His Majesty the Void Mask said, he felt that what happened yesterday was like yesterday's death, and what he did today was like today's life.
Now he lived with his head held high and chest out. No matter who he faced, whether it was a battlefield or hell, he could step into it without fear!
If he was still the lone thief in the Western Wilderness, when he knew that he had been marked by the Cruel Hunter, he would probably have been scared out of his wits. He would have run around like a headless fly, but he could not escape the pursuit of the assassins under the command of the Cruel Hunter. In the end, probably the only way was to commit suicide in despair.
But now, although he was still a little worried, he did not have any fear or intention to retreat.
He had found his inner peace again. For him now, there was nothing to be afraid of about death!
But Sui Xiong would not let Ray be killed by the believers of the God of Hunting and Massacre. The God of Hunting and Massacre was a vicious guy himself. His doctrine was to regard the world as a huge hunting ground and all creatures as prey. He wanted to hunt and kill to his heart's content. He wanted to satisfy himself with blood and make the gods happy. Those who could follow this doctrine were not good people in any way. Compared with Lei, who had begun to change, those guys really deserved to be killed!
"So it's that guy …" He smiled coldly and said, "His real body can't enter the Main Plane. I guess he will send a few assassins, or at most an oracle. Don't worry, if you can't handle it, there's still me! "
"In fact, you don't have to do it. This is my own business."
"Bah! Don't forget that the thing is still with me. How is it your business? " Sui Xiong laughed. "And … to be honest, I have always been curious about the domains and priesthoods of other gods. Of course, I can't provoke them. But if they come to me, I don't have any psychological pressure. "
"You mean …"
"Well, I'm hungry. I want to eat an oracle to fill my stomach," Sui Xiong said with a smile. "Last time, I ate the oracle of the God of Conspiracy and gained a lot. This time, I'm looking forward to eating an oracle of the God of Hunting and Massacre. I hope it tastes good … "
Lei was silent for a while. He knelt down on one knee in front of Sui Xiong, put his right hand on his left chest, and bowed his head deeply.
"Although I don't know your doctrine and can't offer my faith, please accept my oath," he said slowly but firmly. "Leon Igor," he said slowly, but firmly, "I swear to you, Leon Igor, that I will dedicate my life and soul to you, to sing your praises, to run for you, to fight for you, and that even death shall not turn me from your loyalty!"
