Chapter 309: New Winter Styles of Lanqi and Sid
On the snowy plain, the boy's hurried steps were like a kite with a broken string, unable to maintain stability.
The robbers' footsteps became louder and louder, like the call of death.
From the moment I stepped onto this chaotic snowfield alone, I was wrong.
The rocks and ice cracks scattered on the snowfield present a slightly undulating terrain. The slight differences cause the light to produce shallow shadows on them, revealing only a hint of grayish white. These rocks are tough and sharp, with various shapes, and are buried alone in the snow. They seem to be works of art carved by nature, but for people who do not live here all year round, they are dangerous obstacles that are difficult to see.
Finally, the boy's increasingly sluggish steps caused him to trip and fall to the ground. Before he could stand up again, he was almost caught up by several strong men.
"Keep running?"
As the gangster's voice grew louder, he reached out to grab the young man's hand. In an instant, a transparent barrier flashing with silver-white light suddenly appeared in front of him. This barrier was like a barrier made of air, isolating him from the gangsters.
The bandits all stopped because of this sudden barrier.
They faced this barrier, and their brief surprise was quickly replaced by a sneer.
The most burly bandit among them had a ferocious smile on his face and hit the barrier heavily with iron tools. Sparks flew and bursts of sound like a foundry burst out.
"How long do you think this will hold us back?"
There was greed and cruelty in the bandit leader's eyes.
"It looks like this thing can only hold us back for a while. If you take the initiative to remove it, we'll treat you better later."
The other villains joined in the jeering, surrounding the barrier and seemingly enjoying the game of cat and mouse.
"I am the eleventh generation head of the Candice family! I am a legitimate noble of the empire! If you let me go to Kingston City, Viscount Kingston will give you money!"
Trapped in the final line of defense with nowhere to escape, Char shouted loudly, his lungs stinging from the cold air.
The robbers hesitated for a moment, then burst into laughter.
As if mocking the boy's words and his overly naive proposal.
They didn't know whether the young man really thought they were fools, or whether he thought it was possible to trick them into going to Kingston City and have Viscount Kingston kill them.
"Are you trying to make us happy in this lawless place?"
"How could the most cold-blooded assassin family in the legend be so weak?"
"I'm afraid that peace has lasted too long, and even the demons will become cowards."
"That's true. If you can retire in the warm and stable south, even if you can't get married, you won't want to come to a place like the north, right?"
"We just want to quickly enjoy the warmth of the Southern Miss."
Every time they attacked the barrier, there was the gangsters' rampant laughter.
"But I'm a man!"
Char said in a despair.
Although his appearance was not bad in the family, he was not so good-looking that he would be mistaken for a female. Perhaps it was because his family had some elven blood and had the habit of braiding long hair, plus the visibility was poor in the snow and he was wearing heavy clothes.
If he had known that the security situation in the north was so terrible, he would not have left Box Mountain Province and stepped into this snowy plain even for a date! "A beautiful boy? Isn't that even better! It really makes me more impatient!"
Suddenly, the robbers became more excited.
“?!”
Xia felt a chill run down his spine. It seemed as if this group of people had already figured out his gender and were deliberately teasing him.
The moment he understood this fact, he felt that these gangsters were more terrifying than a billion murderers! Some of them were beyond his understanding.
He would rather die than be caught by this group of people! But at the second level, there was no way he could defeat these robbers who were probably at the third or fourth level.
Their family had no money to hire guards for him.
In the imperial capital of Helrom, super masters of level six might be considered common, but in those border areas, level four is already a very powerful adventurer and mercenary.
In other words, it is difficult to find guards above level 4 on their side, unless you ask the Tyrant Branch or the Mourning Branch for help.
What was still making him resist was the first-order pink sacred spell left by their ancestors, and the barrier was about to collapse.
The fear was about to consume him.
This is a divine-level spell that is infinitely close to epic.
It is a spiritual and telekinetic magic that will present the owner's mental image and transform it into a weapon.
But when he used it, it was just a barrier like a protective umbrella.
No family head's weapons have ever been as weak as his.
And the effect became weaker and weaker because of his fear.
Looking at the barrier that was gradually beginning to crack and the several big men who were still smiling and licking their lips with salty eyes.
"Goddess, please save me!"
Desperate to the point of collapse, Char could only raise his head helplessly and cry out loudly.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The only responses he got were the sharp wind and faint echoes from the empty snowfield.
Suddenly, a burst of shrill laughter broke out all around.
"Haha, you're so adorable. If praying like a young girl works, will there still be bad people in this world?"
"In this snowy plain where even mercenaries dare not set foot, there will be no more cruel villains than us. You can imagine what we will do to you in advance!"
"The Church of the Goddess of Destiny is now a cult. Do you want to summon an evil god to save you?"
However.
Amidst the laughter.
After a while.
A few dozen meters away from them, in the dense forest, there was a sound of branches and leaves being pulled apart, and snow was falling down.
"It stands to reason that this is the only way."
"Sid, let's hire a scout. You really don't have the talent for this. If I hadn't heard the noise, I wouldn't have been able to find this road even if I followed you around twice."
"If you say that again, your favorability will be deducted."
A man and a woman appeared.
The two men were wearing outdoor-style warm fleece-lined jackets, sun hats on their heads, and trekking poles in their hands. They were looking at the map and looking ahead.
Several strong men who were still swinging their weapons with all their strength stopped swinging their weapons for a moment and turned around to look at the movement at the edge of the snowy forest.
After seeing it clearly, the gangsters couldn't help but twitch their eyes.
Are these two people here hiking? In the distance.
The young man and woman struggled out from behind the bushes and showed joy when they found that they had finally reached the road.
They immediately looked in the direction where there were human traces.
"Excuse me, where should Kingston City go to..."
The green-eyed young man stopped talking halfway, frowned, and immediately became serious. "Hey, over there, are you guys committing any illegal acts such as robbing others of their property, restricting their personal freedom, kidnapping, trafficking, or even harvesting their organs?"
The young man pointed in this direction and said righteously. ——Kneeling to beg for the monthly pass from the fathers! Xi Zhi kowtowed!
