The smile on Viktor's face widened.
"Our master has basically traveled all over the country because his ranches are all over the country. He owns land in every state!"
Zachary Taylor was stunned. Damn it, I forgot that he owns so much land. It's definitely not in one state. I was too careless!
The cunning Zachary Taylor immediately changed his words.
"I'm wrong. It's overseas. I was the one who led you to Mexico!"
Viktor's smile widened when he heard that. His two sharp canine teeth were exposed.
"It's even more overseas. Our master is from Huaxia. He lived in Canada for a while before coming to America."
"Huaxia?"
Zachary Taylor didn't know that before.
"That's right. Our master is from Huaxia!"
James, who was riding on a black horse, explained.
He's from Huaxia!
Zachary Taylor had heard of that mysterious country. It was said that it was guarded by a powerful mythical beast called the River Crab. Novelists were all secretive about that place, so Zachary Taylor didn't know much about it.
However, Zachary Taylor didn't admit defeat.
"He's been to a lot of places, but he's young after all, and his experience is limited. He actually let you two go on a long journey alone. There are many things to pay attention to when you're outside. Let me teach you!"
Just as Zachary Taylor's voice trailed off, he realized that Viktor and James had suddenly pulled on their reins. James even reached out and grabbed his reins, pulling his "Old Whitney" to a stop.
"What's wrong?"
Zachary Taylor looked at the two of them in confusion. Could it be that they're angry because they can't outtalk me? Are they planning to attack me?
"There's an ambush ahead!"
James' words dispelled his wild thoughts. However, he was still a little confused. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the road ahead.
It was a straight dirt road. There were many trees on both sides of the road, but they weren't dense. If someone was hiding in there, it would be easy to find them.
He looked carefully for a long time and found that the road ahead was normal. It was no different from the road they had been on before. There was no suitable place for an ambush. He couldn't help but look at the two of them arrogantly.
"Like I said, you young people are too inexperienced and always like to make a fuss. There's obviously no place for an ambush here. Don't worry and follow me!"
Zachary Taylor said. He wanted to urge his horse to continue moving forward, but the reins were firmly held by James. He couldn't pull at all.
Just as he turned his head to look at James helplessly, he saw a flame in the corner of his eye. Almost at the same time, he heard a loud gunshot accompanied by the flame...
Flintlock!
Just when Zachary Taylor thought that he was done for this time, a sturdy figure quickly flashed from his side and appeared in front of him, blocking the bullets that were coming at him.
"Don't!"
Zachary Taylor shouted anxiously, but it was too late.
The sound of a bullet entering flesh rang out in front of him, and the figure that pounced from his side landed on the back of his horse. Zachary Taylor hurriedly looked down. It was James, who had been talking to him, telling him that there was an ambush ahead, and holding his reins.
But before he could show a look of grief and annoyance on his face, he was shocked to find that James, who rushed to his saddle, seemed to be completely fine. He quickly sat up and used his not tall, but very strong and broad body to completely block Zachary Taylor behind him.
Zachary Taylor didn't have time to think about how he could be so agile after being shot. He didn't want James to continue to block for him. He was lucky enough to survive a shot, but it didn't mean that he would be fine after being shot again.
But when he reached out to push James down and use his body to block him, he found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move James at all.
Just as James jumped from his horse to the back of Zachary Taylor's horse and used his body to block the shot that was fired at Old Taylor, Viktor, who was riding on another horse, moved as well.
When the gunshot sounded just now, he had clearly found the location of the shooter.
The spear flame that suddenly lit up came from the dense canopy of a large tree more than ten meters in front of them.
Viktor's hands pressed hard on the saddle, and his whole body jumped up from the horse's back. He jumped over the horse's head and landed on the ground in front.
However, he didn't know if he didn't master his balance in a hurry just now. Looking at his landing posture, he wasn't standing, but his whole body leaned forward, almost in a horizontal state. If he landed in this posture, he wouldn't be able to stand at all after landing. Instead, he would fall directly to the ground.
Moreover, Viktor didn't use his hands to support his body like ordinary people. Instead, he stretched his hands forward. If one looked at his hands at this time, they would find that his ten fingernails were rapidly growing. From the fingertips that were originally slightly protruding, they quickly extended to more than two centimeters. They were sharp and slightly curved inward, just like the sharp claws of a beast.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the ground and was about to fall to the ground, just when his body was only half a meter away from the ground, Viktor's outstretched hands quickly swung down and firmly supported himself on the ground, stopping his body from continuing to fall. At the same time, his arms continued to exert force downward, pushing his body forward. His body that was only half a meter away from the ground was pushed up again by the force of his arms. His hands also left the ground, and on the originally flat ground, there were ten deep claw marks.
However, the upward thrust of his arms only worked on his upper body, and Viktor's lower body continued to fall to the ground.
At the same time he exerted force with his arms, his legs, which were originally stretched out horizontally, were pulled back to the front. His upper body had just left the ground with the force of his arms, and his feet quickly landed on the ground, touching it.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, Viktor's thick and powerful legs exerted force, and the huge force directly made two shallow pits under his feet.
Under the effect of this huge force, Viktor's whole body accelerated forward at a faster speed than before. His body's height also increased rapidly, and soon reached a height of more than two meters.
