"Sir! What do we do now? "
A black-robed guard said to Saul as he galloped along the road. His expression was somewhat ferocious.
Saul was protected by a group of black-robed guards in the center. He looked at Adil and Ariel in the distance and felt the tremors getting closer and closer. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's too late to go in another direction. Let's charge forward!
Since they came to the wilderness to seek death, they'll help us stall the monster behind us! "
Saul looked at the golden-haired monster behind him and felt a chill run down his spine.
The others didn't say anything, but they didn't seem to have any objections.
They were completely terrified of the monster behind them.
This time, they had brought at least a dozen elite warriors into the wilderness. In the end, after encountering this monster, they were all annihilated in a short period of time. Only a few of them managed to escape, and they were chased by the monster angrily.
With the monster's ferocity, once they were caught, they would be torn to shreds.
"Sir Adil!"
Ariel stood up and said to Adil anxiously as she looked at the black-robed men coming towards them.
Based on her experience, there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that there would be some kind of trouble later on.
Even though she was confident in Adil, the sense of crisis in her heart made her stand up and remind Adil.
Upon hearing Ariel's words, Adil quietly stood up and looked into the distance.
With his eyesight, he could clearly see the scene in the distance. At this moment, he also saw the monster behind them.
He naturally knew what the other party was planning, but he didn't have the mood to care.
He silently pulled out the sword from his waist and walked in front of Ariel. He protected her behind him and stood still. Silent, he watched the figures in the distance run over.
Without the slightest bit of hesitation, when they arrived at Adil's location, the few knights spurred their horses on and directly walked past Adil without the slightest intention of reminding him.
Roar!!!
A violent roar came from behind him, and then a shadow slowly covered his original position.
Under Adil's gaze, an angry ape that was more than four meters tall noticed him. At this time, it quickly rushed towards him, its huge body causing violent airflow fluctuations in the space.
"The sound is getting softer. What's going on?"
On the other side, Saul was riding his horse on the road. As he listened to the sound behind him getting further and further away, he felt a little puzzled.
Of course, he knew that with the monster's strength, the two people from before would not be able to stop it for long. At most, they would be able to attract its attention, but they would not be able to delay it for long.
However, the cries of the monster behind them were getting further and further away, which made them feel a little strange.
"Could it be that the monster has killed enough? That's why it hasn't come after us?"
This thought flashed through his mind, and he could not help but rejoice and wonder.
"My lord! Look behind you! "Beside him, a horrified voice sounded.
Beside Saul, a black-robed guard on horseback looked behind him with an expression of disbelief.
Following his voice, the rest of them instinctively looked behind them, only to see a scene that shocked them to their core.
BOOM!!!
A violent collision sounded out in front of them.
Silence stood where he was, and Adil's expression was calm as he sent the other party flying with a swing of his sword.
This mutated monster's strength was quite good, and it could already compare to some of the top Knights. However, to Adil, it was just so-so.
Under Ariel's almost fanatical gaze, Adil sent the other party flying with a swing of his sword. Then, a silver light flashed and a sword mark appeared.
A head that was twice the size of a normal person was sent flying. Black and red blood splattered everywhere and scattered all over the ground.
Silence looked at this scene, and Adil's expression was calm as he silently put away his sword, as if he had done a small thing.
In the distance, Saul and the others were completely dumbfounded as they watched this scene. It was as if they had not expected this to happen at all.
"My … My lord."
On the side, a black-robed guard looked at Saul in a daze, "Are we still going to continue running?"
Hearing this, Saul came back to his senses.
He made up his mind. After thinking about it for a while, he made his decision.
"Stop immediately! Let's go back! "
He slowly stopped his horse and ordered the people around him.
"It's a pity, my lord, we just …"
On the side, a black-robed guard revealed a troubled expression, "Now that we saw that the monster was taken care of, if we go back immediately, will the other party harm you?"
The other party was also not an idiot. From the way they acted just now, it was obvious that they were using the other party as a shield. In the end, after seeing that the other party had taken care of the problem, they turned around, and it was hard to say whether the other party would not make a move against them.
If they were the ones who were inexplicably schemed against, they would definitely find the other party and let the other party know the consequences of provoking them.
"Then we still have to go back!"
On the side, Saul's expression was decisive as he firmly shook his head, "Why don't you take a look at where we are?
In the wilderness, with just the few of us, if we don't go back, we might not be able to survive until tomorrow. "
Hearing this, the people around him were startled. After coming back to their senses, they couldn't help but reveal bitter smiles.
The wilderness was far more dangerous than they had imagined. There was definitely more than one mutated monster like the one just now. With their current situation, if they were to encounter it again, they would probably die.
"Looking at the other party, although they are most likely not locals, they should also be nobles."
Looking at the expressions of his subordinates, Saul spoke again, "Since they are all nobles, then there is a possibility of negotiation. Although it is still dangerous, it is still much better than encountering those monsters in the wilderness!"
Thinking about this, their hearts immediately calmed down. They slowly urged their horses and slowly rushed towards the direction where Adil was.
"Lord Adil."
Looking at Saul and the others who were slowly approaching, Ariel felt a little uneasy and quickly looked towards Adil.
"Just do your own thing."
On the other side, Adil stood in front of the mutated monster's corpse, listening to Ariel's words, and spoke without turning his head.
With regards to the corpse of the mutated monster in front of him, Adil was very interested.
"Although these mutated monsters don't have ancient bloodlines, they have some unique characteristics. If I use the blood of these creatures as raw materials, with the current formula as the foundation, I should be able to research some new potions."
After observing the corpse in Silence and roughly examining it, Adil thought to himself.
"Unfortunately, the current environment is not suitable. After the situation stabilizes, I can specifically capture some strong mutated monsters to use in this aspect of the experiment."
Standing in the same place, after thinking for a while, Adil dispelled the idea of research in his heart. He just looked at the corpse in front of him with some pity, "What a pity for the corpse of this mutated monster."
Behind him, the low whinny of the horses slowly came.
When approaching Adil, Saul and the others got down from their horses and walked towards Adil cautiously, it seemed that they were afraid of arousing Adil's vigilance.
"This lord … …"
When they got closer, after seeing Adil's appearance, they felt slightly relieved.
Although his appearance was a little different from the people here, he didn't look like someone who liked to kill people. Instead, he looked like a well-educated noble young man. They should be able to negotiate.
However, looking at the corpse under his feet, Saul still maintained his vigilance. At this moment, he had an apologetic expression on his face, "For what happened just now, we are deeply sorry."
"We were chased by that monster for too long, we didn't have time to pay attention to the road in front of us. That's why we accidentally brought the monster here."
With an apologetic expression on his face, his tone was very sincere.
However, what made them nervous was that towards his explanation, Adil didn't have the slightest reaction, and didn't show anything.
Seeing Adil's reaction, he couldn't help but feel nervous. He took a bag of things from the side of the horse and put it on the ground, "In order to express our sincere apology, we are willing to compensate you."
"Are you familiar with this area?"
In front of him, after hearing Saul's words, Adil turned around and looked at him.
Hearing this, Saul paused for a moment before hurriedly nodding, "I'm a Baron in this area, and I am very familiar with many places in this area."
"Lord, if you need someone to lead the way, we are very willing to do so."
He looked at Adil and said seriously.
Hearing Saul's words, Adil also nodded, "I want to know if there are any forbidden areas nearby."
"Forbidden areas?" Hearing Adil's words, Saul felt a bit confused, but he still said, "There are many forbidden areas nearby, and I know quite a few of them."
"However, most of those forbidden areas have strange existences that are very dangerous. As such, I haven't been to the specific places, and I only know their approximate locations."
Standing there, Saul's expression became strange, and his voice trembled as he said, "Lord, don't tell me you want to go to those forbidden areas?"
Looking into his eyes, Adil's face was calm, and he nodded his head.
He indeed wanted to go to the forbidden areas to see if he could encounter some strange existences and obtain some crystal cores.
Standing in front of him and listening to Adil nod, the corners of Saul's mouth twitched subconsciously. He did not know what to say.
It wasn't just him. After hearing Adil's words, even Ariel, who had been silent, turned pale, thinking that Adil had gone crazy.
"You just need to take us to the few forbidden areas nearby to have a look. You don't need to do anything else."
