"Ugh... It hurts..." Mia was lying on the ground, struggling to stand up. However, the sound of hooves approaching from behind made her legs tremble slightly. She could not muster any strength and could only turn over. She saw the Barbarian cavalry charging towards her.
This was the first time she faced a life-threatening situation alone. It was different from the time when she faced the Drake in the arena. This time, Baiyi and the referee were not by her side …
"Can we … Can we escape?" Even in such a dangerous situation, Mia was still thinking about others?
At that moment, in the Void, the Voidwalkers were arguing about who would be the one to fight. Almost all of the Voidwalkers who were awake were volunteering to fight. Even the Scholar Walker and the other academics wanted to descend on the plushie but Baiyi did not agree to their request. Under such circumstances, he had a better choice.
He gathered his consciousness and poked a certain Walker who had been sleeping since he arrived. Then he said in a clear voice, "Wake up, wake up, I need your power."
The rest of the Voidwalkers could feel a very special consciousness slowly awakening in the Void. It was as if a terrifying beast was slowly opening its eyes. Along with its awakening, an invisible pressure began to spread, forcing the rest of the Voidwalkers to choose to remain silent.
Only the Archmage whispered, "It's the 27th Walker? But if it's him, perhaps he's the most suitable candidate? "
"This Walker seems a little special?" The Scholar Walker also whispered, "I don't know much about him."
"Other than Hope, he never communicates with anyone else, so it's normal that you don't know him. I didn't expect Hope to awaken him at this critical juncture, but he's very powerful, and he's very suitable for the situation we're in," the Archmage replied softly.
However, in the face of this existence that even the other Voidwalkers were afraid of, Baiyi changed his usual polite and kind attitude and said in a commanding tone, "Go, protect her." As he spoke, he also shared some of his recent memories with the 27th Walker. Most of the time, the 27th Walker was sleeping so he did not understand the current situation.
After quickly browsing through Baiyi's memories, the 27th Walker was still silent. He only used a slight fluctuation of his consciousness to indicate that he understood.
"This is your territory, right? Don't let me down, "Baiyi added before he was about to activate his secret technique.
The 27th Walker's consciousness moved again, like a giant dragon that was about to speak, causing the other Voidwalkers to listen to his voice with curiosity and awe.
Then, the 27th Walker said, "Woof!"
The other Voidwalkers became even more silent.
"How many times do I have to tell you! Don't bark like a dog! " Baiyi roared loudly. Alas, the 27th Walker had already taken over the 27th Walker's consciousness and focused on the hammerhead shark plushie.
Then, the hammerhead shark plushie that was still a little bit away from Mia suddenly flapped its tail and fluttered its soft body as it flew up into the air. Then, it leaped into Mia's embrace and rubbed its face with all its might. It was obviously a very normal action, but why did it give off the feeling that a big dog was licking a girl's face?
-Huh? Sharkie? "Mia was a little surprised," Are you here to protect me again? "
The hammerhead shark plushie shook its head at her as if it was denying something. Then, it suddenly raised its head and flapped its short and thick fins as if it was a drowning salted fish. After it was done, it swam in front of Mia and stood between her and the Barbarian cavalry.
However, because the plushie had just taken a bath, the water in its body had not been drained yet. That was why it looked a little clumsy when it swam. It was not as agile as the Warrior.
"This guy... Is he really going to be alright?" The Thane asked worriedly.
"Don't worry. Even though it's a little stupid, it's still loyal and reliable," Baiyi replied. After explaining the situation to Huskar and the rest, everyone quickly rode on the war goat and rushed towards the direction of the camp.
The location that Baiyi had chosen for the camp was very close to the Eol Mountains. All they needed to do was to pass through a stretch of forest and they would be able to enter the territory of the Alpine Barbarians. At this moment, Mia's location was just outside the small forest at the border between the grassland and the mountains.
The Barbarian cavalry that still had some strength left had already caught up with them. However, when they got close to Mia, they slowed down. It was obvious that they were afraid of the little girl's magic. However, when they made sure that the little girl did not try to escape or resist anymore, instead, she sat on the grass and rubbed her knees, their courage returned to their bodies again.
Because it was not easy to evade magic on the back of a horse, they even got down from their horses and slowly approached Mia.
"Be careful! We need to capture all the women alive!" One of the surviving cavalry captain said. He had already seen the beauty of the three girls earlier. If they were to be captured, he would definitely be rewarded handsomely by the Khan. However, he did not know that he would have to go to the underworld to receive his reward.
"She has killed so many of our brothers and you still want to capture her alive? Alright then, let her suffer a little first then... "One of the cavalrymen beside the captain said in dissatisfaction. The fully drawn bow in his hand was forced to deviate from Mia's heart and was aimed at her thigh instead.
Before the captain could stop the arrow, it had already pierced through the air, heading straight for Little Mia. However, just as it was flying through the air, a strange-looking ragdoll leaped out from beside Mia and blocked the arrow with its snow-white belly.
The arrow was so powerful that it pierced through the soft plushie and the arrowhead came out from its back. The plushie even rolled a few times in the air before it could barely offset the kinetic energy of the arrow.
"Sharkie!" Mia called out worriedly.
The hammerhead shark plushie did not respond to her. Instead, as if it had been aroused, with the arrow still stuck in its belly, it charged towards the Barbarian cavalry ferociously.
Then... Then, its belly was pierced through by one of the cavalrymen. Because there was still a lot of water in the plushie, its movements were a little too clumsy.
"What the hell is this thing?" The cavalryman took the knife closer to his side and looked at the hammerhead shark plushie. Puzzled, he asked, "It looks like a little girl's toy?" Having said that, he casually swung the knife and threw the plushie far away, causing it to fall on the grass.
The other Walkers who witnessed the scene in the Void asked in unison, "Can he really do it?"
"Of course he can! I'm not even in a hurry so why are you guys in a hurry?" Baiyi snapped, "There's not much Mana in the plushie's body. If you guys were to go in, you wouldn't be able to last long either. Besides, there are still a lot of enemies left. Only it can protect Mia-chan."
As if to answer Baiyi's words, just as the Barbarian cavalry was about to go up and capture Mia with a rope, a flock of birds suddenly flew out from the woods behind her.
Anyone who had even a little bit of experience in hunting in the wild would know that this was a very dangerous signal. Immediately, the Barbarian cavalry stopped in their tracks. One by one, they pulled out their sabers and bows, staring at the woods behind Mia as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Be careful!" The cavalry captain shouted, "Get on the horses first!"
But just as he finished his sentence, a series of "thump thump thump thump" sound could be heard. Quickly turning around to look, the horses that they had left far away were now kneeling in the direction of the woods in a very strange manner. The heads of the horses that were originally raised high were now as close to the ground as possible, as if they were expressing their allegiance to something...
The cavalry captain gulped down a mouthful of saliva. Cold sweat trickled down from his forehead. Even though he did not know what was in the woods, judging from the situation of the horses, it was definitely not something that they could fight against. Other than the group of rude Alpine Barbarians, there were still many things in the Eol Mountains that they could not afford to provoke.
"Retreat..." The cavalry captain only had time to utter a single word before he suddenly froze on the spot. His legs began to tremble uncontrollably, but he did not dare to move a single step.
Because at this moment, a huge snow-white beast had appeared out of thin air in front of him. It was as tall as a hill and looked a little like a giant gorilla. Its entire body was covered with a layer of white mane. It stood upright on both of its legs, with a pair of terrifying sharp claws on its forelimbs. The two rows of sharp teeth in its mouth were flashing with a terrifying chill.
"A... Behemoth?" One of the cavalrymen who had heard of the legend of this giant beast asked in a trembling voice, "Why... Why is it here?"
According to the description of the old shamans in the tribe, this terrifying creature had always lived in the depths of the Eol Mountains. It liked to eat a special kind of red crystal and rarely appeared in the grasslands. Moreover, this giant beast was only as tall as two or three people in its infancy. Its mane was also gray. As it grew, it could grow to the height of five or six people, and its mane would gradually turn gray.
Then this Behemoth that was as tall as ten people and had a pure white mane … How long had it lived? How terrifying was its power? The cavalryman did not dare to think about it anymore.
The strangest thing was, why would such a huge beast suddenly appear in front of everyone without a sound?
Even Mia was scared out of her wits by the sudden appearance of this terrifying monster. She almost fainted, but just as she was about to lose consciousness, she saw a hammerhead shark plushie crawling on top of the gigantic beast's head. There was an arrow stuck in the plushie's belly and it was using its tail to slap the giant beast's head as if to express its dissatisfaction.
"Ghost Behemoth?" The knowledgeable Scholar suddenly asked in the void. "Oh my god, I thought this giant beast only existed in the legends. I can't believe it actually exists!"
"And it seems like the 27th Walker can command it?"
