"The wilderness of this world … is really dangerous."
Stepping out of Amber City, Li Yu did not take the water route or the boat from the harbor. Instead, he traveled north by land.
Amber City was located at the southern tip of the continent, within the borders of the Southern Dukedom. The closest city to the north of Amber City was Whiterun.
Although it was said to be the closest city, it was actually hundreds of miles away.
After leaving Amber City's territory, the road was filled with wilderness. Not only was it deserted, but it was also extremely dangerous.
"Goblins, so annoying!"
Looking at the group of dirty and smelly green-skinned monsters rushing out of the bushes, Li Yu shook his head helplessly.
Originally, he did not even bother to deal with the rat-like creatures like the goblins. He rode his horse and sped along, not even bothering to attack.
However, it seemed that Li Yu's "escape" had boosted the goblins' confidence and morale, and they chased after him relentlessly.
"Scram!"
Li Yu let out a furious roar, and an enormous pressure surged out from him.
"Ow! Ow! "
After a series of panicked cries, the horrified goblins immediately scattered.
"Goblins are just like rats. There's no end to killing them."
Li Yu shook his head helplessly. He did not bother to kill the green-skinned rats and continued riding on his horse.
The wilderness of this world was very dangerous, and there were all kinds of monsters. Other than the towns where humans lived, the wilderness was also very dangerous.
For example …
"Kaboom!"
A loud noise exploded on the road ahead. A terrifying giant worm with a length of 30 meters and a diameter of 1.5 meters, with a ferocious jaw and countless sharp claws, rushed out of the ground.
"Ankhegs! Be careful! "
The ankhegs attacked a small caravan.
There were three carriages and more than a dozen guards. If such a caravan did not have a powerful person leading it, it would be very dangerous to travel in the wilderness.
Just like now.
"Ah …"
The warhorse was startled, and a guard riding it was thrown far away. He fell to the ground with a bang, and one of his arms was broken.
In fact … he was very lucky.
The ankhegs rushed out from the ground and opened their mouths. Their sharp teeth, which resembled rotating chainsaws, emitted a sharp hissing sound as they swallowed the warhorse with a diameter of more than one meter.
Blood and flesh splattered everywhere!
"Don't panic! Don't run around! Ankhegs could not see. They could only hear, not see. Use your voice to disrupt it! "
Among the caravan, a young man in his teens held a crossbow and aimed it at the ankheg. "Attack its lower jaw. The lower jaw is its weakness. "
"Eh? What a coincidence! Wasn't this guy Sauron? Did he leave Amber City too? "
When Li Yu saw the young man holding a crossbow and telling everyone about the characteristics of the ankhegs, he suddenly remembered that the Sauron siblings were not "kind" people. Once Amber City's Divine Domain was activated, they could not stay any longer.
"Whoosh …"
A crossbow bolt pierced through the air and pierced deep into the ankheg's jaw.
There was no carapace there, only a layer of soft leather.
"Roar …"
After being attacked, the ankheg roared in pain.
"Roar!"
As the ankhegs roared, the leader of the caravan guards, a burly man with bulging muscles, raised his giant axe and let out a roar as well.
A blood-red light flashed on the man's body, and his bulging muscles bulged even higher. His body size also doubled.
"Go to hell! Worm! "
The roaring burly man was like a raging bull. With heavy footsteps, he charged forward with a rumbling sound.
The giant axe flashed with a cold light and landed heavily on the ankheg's lower jaw.
"Puff …"
A huge wound more than a meter long appeared on the ankheg's jaw. Green blood spurted out like a fountain.
"The barbarian's fighting style … Sigh!"
Sauron, who was holding a crossbow, shook his head helplessly. "Wait for me to finish! Ankhegs' blood is corrosive! "
"Ah …"
The ankheg was killed by the axe, but the barbarian's face was covered in the ankheg's blood.
Even though it was not a strong acid, it still corroded the barbarian's body. Smoke rose everywhere, and he screamed in pain.
"May the Holy Light be with you!"
At that moment, a holy light descended from the sky.
It was pure and bright, holy and warm.
Under the cleansing of the holy light, the ankheg's blood that sprayed on the barbarian's body was purified. The barbarian's injuries also healed quickly.
"A priest?"
Everyone turned around and looked in surprise at the figure in white robes with a long sword hanging from his waist, who was riding a horse towards them.
"Holy Light? Are you a Priest of Holy Light from Amber City? Thank you for your help. "
The barbarian who was bathed in holy light bowed to Li Yu.
"Don't be in a hurry to greet him!"
Sauron shouted nervously. "Ankhegs are social creatures, and there's more than one of them!"
"Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom! "
As soon as Sauron finished speaking, three loud explosions sounded from the ground. Three giant ankhegs rushed out of the ground at almost the same time.
The target of their attack was obviously Li Yu, who was galloping over on his horse.
"Be careful!"
"Protect the priest!"
"Dodge!"
The three giant ankhegs opened their mouths wide and pounced on Li Yu and his horse. Their sharp teeth were like saws, and they looked terrifying.
The presence of a priest was extremely beneficial to a team. Healing spells could help the warriors in the wilderness get timely treatment and prevent many casualties.
The moment the ankhegs rushed out, all the guards rushed over and tried their best to save the 'Priest of Holy Light'.
"Clang …"
Sauron unsheathed his sword, and a holy light flashed through the air.
"Puff! Puff! Puff! "
The holy light flashed through the ankhegs like a knife cutting through butter. The tough shells of the ankhegs were even weaker than paper.
With a single slash, the three ankhegs were decapitated, and they fell to the ground with a loud thud, no longer making a sound.
"Hiss …"
"This …"
"Too strong! Is he still a priest? "
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air, dumbfounded.
"I'm a paladin, not a priest!"
The holy light on the sword faded as Li Yu sheathed it and nodded at the crowd with a smile.
"Paladin? Is it a profession similar to paladins? "
The guards did not know much about paladins. In this world, other than priests, there were only paladins. There was no such thing as paladins.
However, paladins were not welcomed.
Paladins were powerful, righteous, kind, and brave. In the face of a team wipe out, they would even sacrifice themselves to fight for the survival of the team. But … even so, Saint Samurai were not welcomed.
Because … paladins could not tolerate any evil.
Theft was evil. Fraud was evil. Obtaining improper benefits was also evil. Forming a team with a paladin meant that one could only be a "law-abiding citizen" and could not make the slightest mistake. Otherwise, the paladin would "cleanse you of evil".
Everyone thought that "paladin" was another name for paladins. Therefore, they were not so welcoming of Li Yu's arrival.
