"mighty!"
Many mountain bandits, brandishing long knives, shouted their might.
Over there, the catapults were already launching stones incessantly, the sound of large trees in the forest breaking was deafening, and could be heard even from a distance.
Above the trees, one could see stones being thrown into the air, breaking tree canopies—a truly perilous sight. The stones slowed as they hit large trees, but upon landing, they still kicked up clouds of dust, startling birds that flew south in disarray.
"Walk towards a big tree. Use a big tree as a barrier to ensure complete safety."
Only three catapults were launching stones, and they were hidden in the woods, with dense trees providing cover so the bandits couldn't see their targets at all. They were just throwing stones randomly, hoping to get lucky.
However, the lives of his senior sisters were precious, and Ye Liang did not want to lose any of them. Therefore, even though he knew that the probability of being hit was not high, he still made sure that everyone was facing a thick tree as they moved forward, so that there would always be a big tree in front of them as a barrier.
Even if, unfortunately, a rock were to fly straight at them, having a thick, sturdy tree to block it would provide much greater safety.
Just now, a huge rock hit the tree right above them, snapping off the top and flying past.
It looks incredibly dangerous.
Fortunately, Ye Liang's idea was useful.
Always having a large tree directly in front of you on the route really helps.
"Junior Sister, take good care of Little Deer and don't let her run away. Make sure she stays close to you." Ye Liang instructed his junior sister before continuing forward, braving the constant threat of stones flying overhead.
Bringing the little deer wasn't a random decision by Ye Liang. The little deer, Bao'er, was already his junior sister's pet, and she needed to learn to fight in the future. Otherwise, if she couldn't fight, she would have no purpose as a combat pet.
If a pet wants to level up and become a companion that can assist its owner in battle, it naturally needs to experience real battles, go through trials, and level up.
Originally, the junior sister intended to lock the deer in the room and release her after they returned from killing the bandits.
Ye Liang told her to take the little deer with her. He said that this way, the little deer might also gain combat experience and level up, just like him.
After Ye Liang said that, it was only then that Junior Sister followed with Little Deer.
Although she was somewhat worried that Xiao Lu might be in danger of being killed by bandits if she followed her, in her heart, the junior sister was also unwilling to keep Xiao Lu locked in the room.
She feared they would all die by the bandits' blades, and that the little deer, locked in the room, would die of thirst and hunger over several days. That would be an even more horrific and cruel way to die, and it was very pitiful.
So, instead of doing that, why not take her with you?
At worst, if we're going to die, we'll all die together!
The junior sister reached out to protect the little deer, and with her, followed Ye Liang, continuing forward despite the danger of being smashed into mincemeat by falling stones.
Although the loud rumbling and earthquake caused by the falling rocks frightened the little deer, she still possessed a certain pet-like intelligence. Beside her master, Junior Sister, and second master, Ye Liang, she remained brave and obedient, quietly following them without running away or barking.
Even though she was terrified, she remained loyal to her master.
It has quite a bit of the talent to be a battle pet.
