Chapter 114: Boar Rider, Miss Skeleton

"But this trip is risky..."

Hildreth was wearing a silver chain mail shirt, with his arms clasped in wrist guards. His golden eyes revealed a thoughtful look on his cold and arrogant face, and he lowered his head in deep thought.

"As the Black Knight's holy day, the followers of the Plunderers will do everything they can to sabotage it."

"We may encounter attacks along the way, so I suggest that I go alone." said Hildreth.

The Reaver, also known as the Lord of a Hundred Weapons, has a holy emblem of five curved arms rotating in a windmill shape, each holding a knife.

He holds the power to destroy and plunder.

If the Black Knight symbolizes a commander who achieves victory through calm strategy and brilliant tactics, then the Marauder represents brutal destruction, sudden advances, and ruthless plundering in conflict.

The Black Knights and the Marauders hate each other.

Among the followers of the plunderers, there are usually berserkers, robbers, murderers, and thugs.

Like the Black Knight, the Marauder is a lesser power, considered a subordinate deity of Tyr, the god of justice and war.

Yeats once wondered why there would be a cruel god like the Plunderer under the command of Tyr, who is known for his justice.

But the concept of justice is difficult to define.

Perhaps, evil people also have their own patron saints.

And the looters are the gods who protect the wicked.

“Even if we are attacked, I cannot sit idly by and watch the followers of the looters wreak havoc in my territory.”

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "Besides, aren't you traveling with me?"

The boy's voice was gentle, and his trust in his fellow travelers was evident in his words.

Hildre's eyes flickered slightly, he nodded calmly, and said softly:

"I understand. I will arrange this trip properly, with your safety as the primary goal."

Ye Zhi thought to himself… Including my magical pet, with my current overall combat power, I can suppress a three-ring transcendent.

"But three-ring transcendents often have extensive combat experience. If they avoid their magic pets and rush straight towards me, it will be troublesome."

Yeats thought: "At this time, Hilde's blessing, "King's Rook Castling", becomes crucial."

In fact, although he is a bard, Yeats's melee ability is not weak.

With the "Combat Skill - Jab" enhanced by mantis shrimp dishes and the physique strengthened by the Youth Apple, fragile professions such as Wanderers and Mages will bleed heavily if they are hit by Ye Zhi's punch, even if they have reached the second ring.

Even if Ye Zhi can't beat him, he will still shake people——

Teacher Kendela, you don't want anything to happen to your precious student, do you?

Two days later.

As the Black Knight Holy Day approaches, just as Hilde expected, Yezhi receives news from Lotta that suspected bandit groups have been spotted around the territory.

There are many extraordinary people in the powerful bandit army. These extraordinary people accumulate soul power by following the "Way of the Plunderer". The more they burn, kill and plunder, the stronger the Tree of Life will grow.

When faced with such a villain, Yeats felt there was no need to persuade him to surrender, and he could just kill him directly.

"The footprints that look like those of bandits were found in the southeast of the territory." Phocas said in a deep voice, "Those villains are very cunning and are hiding in the dense forest. We should not rush into them."

A second-ring transcendent can be killed by a mortal army, but when he reaches the third ring, he will undergo a qualitative change and be able to sweep away an army alone. A fourth-ring transcendent can even defeat an entire city alone.

Facing this bandit army in the territory, Ye Zhi thought for a moment and said:

"Pass on my order. Have Lixi pretend to be a traveling merchant and investigate. If they are confirmed to be a bandit group, there is no need to leave any of them alive."

"Yes, sir."

Snowflakes are falling from the sky.

Richie, disguised as a traveling merchant, rode on a draft horse, followed by three other draft horses carrying heavy packages, and the horses' hooves left deep footprints in the snow.

It has been nearly a week since they arrived at Morning Frost Ridge. Richie has a deep understanding of what a great feat it is that Browndi's youngest son can lead this poor land through the beast tide.

Recalling the scene of the lord inviting him to ride on board, Rishi's eyes flickered and he looked around the jungle.

Hey, hey.

The woods were swaying, and Richie could keenly smell the strong smell of blood in the air. He saw a row of figures with malicious smiles standing on a snowy slope.

This group of people were wearing bloodstained chain mail, with one-handed axes on their waists, round shields on their backs, and nose helmets on their heads. They looked like veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time.

In the center of the group, there was a man as big as a tower, wearing heavy armor and a horn helmet. He was sitting on the back of a red-eyed wild boar with thick tusks and as strong as a bear, holding a long-handled giant axe in his hand.

Rishi recognized the guy's origin at a glance.

The notorious boar rider on the wanted list, 'Tusk' Meta.

According to legend, he was a follower of the looters, with countless lives in his hands, and he attracted a group of thugs to follow him by his evil deeds! The robbers laughed at him at will.

"Hey, if you know what's best for you, hand over the goods. We might even spare your life."

"You are so small that you can't lift so many things. Let us help you!"

Meta rode on the wild boar's back, looking as majestic as a mountain.

The bloody murderous aura that came towards him made Li Xi sigh.

"What bad luck... Isolde, it's up to you."

Behind Rishi, there was a soft and beautiful woman's soul floating around. She smiled gently, stretched out her arms, and gently wrapped them around him.

At the same time, a strong smell of death surged in the forest, causing the robbers to be suspicious.

A plane summoning circle opened, and a skeleton walked out of it.

The skeleton was wearing a Gothic long skirt, a lace headband on his head, short knives in both hands, and eerie blue flames dancing in his eye sockets.

"What the hell!" the robber said in disbelief, "Why would a skeleton be dressed so nicely?"

The words haven't finished yet.

The robber's throat had been pierced by a cluster of pale green rays. His body was stiff and he fell backwards to the ground.

Boom! Li Xi's fingertips were still glowing with the green light of necromancy.

Finally one of the robbers came to his senses and said in horror: "This guy is a necromancer!"

Suddenly.

Miss Skeleton held two swords in her hands and moved lightly among the enemy's formation. She could kill many enemies with just a few moves.

The graceful figure made Richie's eyes filled with deep attachment.

The man wearing a bull-horn bucket helmet was riding on the back of a wild boar, looking coldly at this extremely strange skeleton soldier through the gap in his helmet.

Suddenly, he swung his huge axe.

The powerful chopped blow was blocked by the two swords with a clang.

Meta suddenly exerted force, and the giant axe smashed the two swords in the skeleton's hands.

The flames in Miss Skeleton's eye sockets flickered slightly.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

At this time.

Lixi instantly used the Flash Technique to knock the skeleton away, and at the same time called her back to the plane, using the Shield Technique to forcibly resist Meta's axe attack.

Crack! The shield shattered, and the burst of mana wave threw his body away. Li Xi returned a weakening ray and hit Meta.

The man in the horn bucket helmet moved slowly and said in a deep voice: "You are very special. As a necromancer, you actually protect your summoned creatures."

"You too?" Lisi replied, "As a knight, you are riding a wild boar."

These words seemed to anger Meta, and a blood-red aura ignited on his body, and even the rough battle axe was coated with a layer of red light.

Blessing of the plunderer, blood rages!

Meta clenched the giant axe, raised it high, and faced Rishi, with a huge shadow covering Rishi.

However, Meta's movements suddenly froze.

A large amount of blood spurted from his neck.

A clean and sharp sword, like a silver thread, slashed across.

The ox-horn bucket helmet rolled to the ground.

The Eagle Helmet Valkyrie's red hair fluttered in the cold wind. She put away her swift sword and glanced at the giant boar.

The red-eyed wild boar showed human-like fear, grunted twice and retreated, then turned around quickly and disappeared in front of everyone at an astonishing speed, raising a cloud of dust.

The necromancer was startled: "You run so fast..."

The silver-haired boy riding on the white warhorse looked at the wild boar flying away and called out:

"Owl, come to me!"

The waves of the summoning plane surged.

Snowy Owl opened his sleepy eyes and said murderously, "Gu?"

Ye Zhi said, "Go and kill that wild boar, and I'll give you a snack tonight!"

Hearing this, the Snowy Owl perked up a little and flew in the direction where the wild boar escaped.

At the same time, Hildurde dealt with the remaining bandits one by one, his robe stained with blood and his eyes cold and arrogant.

Ye Zhi stretched out his hand to her and said, "Hilde, give me your hand."

Hild was slightly startled, but still stretched out her blood-stained hand and placed it on Ye Zhi's hand.

Ye Zhi also learned the art of cleaning these days. He whispered the spell silently, and the breeze with rain and mist blew across Shiloh's cheek.

All of a sudden, all the blood stains on her body disappeared, and Hildreth's eyes flickered slightly, as if a little surprised.

And seeing Yeats's hand still held.

Hildreda lowered her head slightly, her snow-white neck flushed slightly, and she retracted her hand awkwardly.

"My Lord, thank you for coming!" Li Xi was moved.

Ye Zhi nodded... It is not ruled out that Richie has other cards, but the Boar Knight is a believer of the plunderer after all, so it is safer to come to support him in person.

"I also met Rishi's skeleton girlfriend this time..." Ye Zhi thought, "It seems that pure love knows no race."

Perron, the perverted elf poet, thought it was great.

The power of the soul will grow through fighting, meditation, and travel. Yeats examined the soul realm and found that the second ring on the Tree of Life was already 80% lit.

The battle just now had enhanced his soul power.

Ye Zhi nodded with satisfaction, thinking: "Even if I'm a marginal OB, I've gained some experience points!"

Then.

Yeats asked Rishi for information.

We learned that this boar rider named 'Meta' was a wanted criminal in the Golden Lion Kingdom and a believer in plunder. His head was worth 500 gold coins, which was indeed a huge sum of money.

Thoughts flashed through Ye Zhi's mind.

"There are still many good people in the world... I was short of money to build a castle, and then someone offered his life to me."

"It seems your guess is correct."

Ye Zhi looked at Hilde, "As followers of the plunderers, these bandits intend to destroy the holy day of the Black Knight."

Hildrede seemed absent-minded, but when he came to his senses, he nodded slightly and said:

"Pray to the Black Knight on holy days, and believe that he will reward you for defeating the marauding cultists."

Ye Zhi nodded...Prayers require offerings, and I think the wild boar just now is very suitable! (End of this chapter)
