The next day, the sky was still bright.
Zong Ling, Tong San, Qing Shi, and Kong You Yue sent Dongbo Xue Ying off.
"Uncle Zong, I'll leave the castle to you." Dongbo Xue Ying said.
"Rest assured, Snow Eagle." Zong Ling said. Six years had passed, but Zong Ling did not waste his time. He had finally stepped into the Meteor rank!
"Brother, be careful." Qing Shi said. He had no memories of his parents. His brother had been taking care of him for many years, so his feelings for his brother were very deep.
"Brother Snow Eagle, I'll wait for you to come back." You Yue shouted.
"Haha …"
Dongbo Xue Ying laughed while riding on the Snowstrider Horse, "Jia!"
Hu!
The Snowstrider Horse immediately galloped. Its speed was very fast, and it soon disappeared at the end of the mountain road.
… …
First, he went to Water Rites Town to inform Lord Si An. Lord Si An immediately passed the message to Azure River County's Dragon Mountain Manor. Dongbo Xue Ying himself did not stop to rush towards Azure River County.
Azure River County covered an area of tens of thousands of miles.
From Snow Eagle Castle to Azure River County, the direct distance was estimated to be six thousand miles. Furthermore, the official road had to avoid some mountains, and the actual route was probably more than ten thousand miles!
"Jia, jia."
Dongbo Xue Ying was dressed in black, carrying a weapon box on his back as he rode on the Snowstrider Horse.
The Snowstrider Horse galloped as fast as a phantom.
The Snowtreading Magic Beast Colt was a Class 3 Magical Beast Colt. It was considered one of the best colts. Above it were other Magical Beasts. However, Magical Beasts were naturally good at running. A Rank 3 Magical Beast … … was not inferior to some Rank 4 Magical Beasts. Actually, with Xue Ying's current strength as a Legend ranker, riding on a Snowstrider Pony was too 'low profile'. With his current strength, if he were to reveal it, there would be big powers who would take the initiative to send him a rank 5 magical beast mount, or even a flying magical beast mount!
"Hong hong hong — —"
As the Snowtreading Horse galloped down, the earth faintly trembled as a phantom dashed past.
If it ran for two hours, it could travel 900 miles. If it wore armor and charged, even a Heaven Rank Knight would not dare to block it. However, it was sold for 2000 gold coins! Twenty Snowstrider Horses were enough to buy a territory comparable to the Snow Eagle Territory! Thus, most clans were reluctant to buy them. Dongbo Xue Ying had only been able to afford five Snowstrider Horses after selling off the Shadow Leopard's fur and other materials.
"Stop, stop. Up ahead is the Cold Jade Mountain." Some merchants had gathered in front of a large canyon. When they saw a knight galloping over from afar, they immediately shouted.
"Friend, stop. Let's cross the Cold Jade Mountain together."
"The Cold Jade Mountain is in danger!"
Many of the merchants and their guards shouted at the same time.
Hu.
The Snowtreading Horse did not slow down in the slightest. It turned into a phantom and flashed past.
"Crazy." The merchant guards were all astonished.
"Is that knight crazy? Does he think he can charge through with just a Snowstrider Horse?"
"Can a place like the Cold Jade Mountain be barged into?"
… …
"Cold Jade Mountain?" Dongbo Xue Ying, who was on horseback, was very sensitive to his surroundings. Of course, he heard the merchants' shouts. "The Cold Jade Mountain is the only way to the Azure River County City. The Cold Jade Mountain is connected to the Mountain of Desolation. I heard that there are many bandits living in the Cold Jade Mountain. They often rob passing merchants. The bandits here are even more famous than my Water Rites Town's Bent Blade Union."
Caravans would usually form an alliance and gather enough people to pass through the Cold Jade Mountain together!
But for Dongbo Xue Ying?
In the entire Azure River County, the only ones who could threaten him were those Legend rankers. Moreover, it was only a threat. Who would win and who would lose would only be known after a fight! As for a group of bandits? They were nothing more than chickens and dogs!
"Hu."
The Snowstrider Horse galloped like the wind, causing the earth to tremble slightly. The movement was so loud that it could be felt from afar.
"Where did this black clothed man come from? He actually dared to charge into the Cold Jade Mountain alone?"
"Is he courting death?"
"Boss, should we make a move?"
"Make a move my ass. There's no need for us to risk such a tough bone. Let's just leave it to the 'Eight Cold Jade Eagles'." Some of the bandits saw a single horse galloping from afar. Many of them chose to give up. Bandits also had to consider the risks and rewards.
After galloping for a few dozen li, they had already reached the middle section of the Cold Jade Mountain.
On top of the mountain, there was a large group of bandits dressed in cyan armor. There were only a total of a hundred bandits, but they were all well-equipped. Almost every ordinary bandit carried a huge crossbow on their back — it was the Star Breaking Crossbow! The eight bandit leaders had an extraordinary bearing. They were the most famous of the Cold Jade Mountain — the 'Eight Cold Jade Eagles'.
Among them, there were three Meteor Rank warriors, two Heaven Rank Mages, and three Heaven Rank Knights. All of them had some tricks up their sleeves to be ranked as the 'Eight Eagles'.
"Haha, today's harvest is not bad. This caravan is quite good." These bandits were currently in an extremely good mood. Beside them, there were more than ten people who had been captured alive. The rest of the caravan had died, leaving only these ten or so people alive. Among them, there were old men, middle-aged men, and even a pair of young boys and girls. The pair of young boys and girls were currently leaning against each other. Their eyes were filled with fear and despair. They were worried about their future.
"Let's go. Let's go back and take a rest. Let's investigate their origins. Who knows, we might be able to get even more ransom money." The Eight Cold Jade Eagles were a group of extremely fierce bandits. Every one of them had a bounty on them, and they would do anything they wanted.
"Leaders, quickly look. There's a black clothed knight coming over."
"He's riding a Snowstrider Horse, and he's alone."
Some of the bandits immediately reported.
The eight leaders looked from afar. Indeed, there was a single rider galloping forward from afar.
"He dares to charge in alone?"
"Didn't he look down on our Cold Jade Mountain? Big brother, should we make a move? "The other seven 'eagles' looked at their big brother.
The Great Leader of the Frozen Jade Eight Eagles frowned as he looked down, "There are only so many Legend rankers in the Azure River County, and all of them are extremely famous. I even know what they look like. Moreover, they wouldn't be so poor as to ride a Treading Snow Horse. This black-robed youth … looked very young. The weapon box he carried on his back should be a spear. Who is it? Never heard of it? Could it be a Silver Moon Knight? "
"Brothers, release the arrows and test him." The Great Leader ordered, "If the bones are too hard to chew, we'll leave. If he's too weak, we'll eat him!"
"Yes."
Immediately, all the bandits, including the great leader, took out their crossbows or bows.
Normal bandits could use the Star-Breaking Crossbow to unleash great power. The Star-Breaking Crossbow could pierce through a Meteor Knight's protective aura! As for the Great Leader and the other two Meteor Knights, they were more suited to use bows and arrows! The arrows of a Meteor Knight were enough to threaten the life of a Silver Moon Knight. Based on these arrows … it was enough to determine the strength of the black-robed young man below.
However, they didn't know what kind of existence their arrows had provoked.
"Release!" The Great Leader ordered.
Xiu Xiu Xiu …
Numerous arrows were shot down from the top of the mountain, enveloping Dongbo Xue Ying who was currently rushing over.
