A group of monsters they had never seen before attacked them from the forest.
There were more than a dozen of them. They stood and ran like humans, and they roared deafeningly.
They are about two meters tall, with exceptionally well-developed muscles on their exposed parts, wearing simple animal skins that cover their private parts, and have impressive green skin. They carry wooden sticks or simple iron tools.
Some of them had white dye on their faces, and when you got closer, you could see two sharp teeth protruding from their mouths.
After getting some distance from the guards, they roared and charged, crashing straight into the guards' loose formation like cannonballs.
The guards were still in a daze, and without a leader, several of them were knocked away in just one round.
The guards, regaining their senses, hastily brandished their weapons and fought back.
Unfortunately, humans were at a disadvantage in both strength and numbers, and they were also filled with fear.
With their strengths and weaknesses diminishing, after several rounds, all the guards were eliminated.
Blood stained the surrounding land, and the guards died a gruesome death, their bodies almost all twisted in a contorted shape, demonstrating just how powerful the orcs were.
Among them, the orc wielding an iron weapon directly cleaved his opponent in two.
The driver, who remained in the car, was terrified by the one-sided massacre and trembled as he tried to turn the key to start the vehicle.
Unfortunately, the more panicked he became, the more mistakes he made, and he failed to ignite the engine several times.
As the green car on the other side got closer and closer, he turned the key again to try to start the vehicle.
Thank goodness, the driver was able to start the engine before they got too close.
The car engine roared wildly, and then he slammed on the gas pedal, and the car began to accelerate toward the green road on the other side.
If they can get past these green-skinned animals and reach the main road, they might have a chance to be rescued, as they cannot possibly outrun vehicles on foot.
As he had hoped, the group of green-skinned soldiers seemed to have never seen such a uniquely designed car before, and were overturned by the vehicle during their charge.
A group of orcs couldn't stop the car's advance and he fought his way out.
One unlucky man was even caught under the wheels. Although the hood of the vehicle is now severely dented and thick smoke is billowing out, the car is still going fast and is just a short distance away from escaping.
The driver ignored the cold sweat beading on his forehead and focused on driving forward.
He floored the accelerator, not daring to relax for a moment, thinking he needed to go back and report that there was an enemy attack, a very powerful one.
On a high point in the woods, a green-skinned man holding a crude javelin kept a close watch on the fleeing vehicles.
Its face was painted with intricate patterns in white and red. It aimed at the car's movement and threw a javelin at the driver with all its might.
With a "whoosh," the javelin shot through the woods like an arrow and flew towards the car.
In a matter of moments, the windshield on the right side of the driver's seat was pierced by a javelin, the powerful force causing the glass to shatter into fragments that flew in all directions.
The driver squinted instinctively after being cut on the cheek by shards of glass, and was then struck in the neck by a javelin that came through the window.
With the force still lingering, the javelin slammed the driver heavily against the left-side window, shattering it.
The driver clutched his bleeding neck, feeling his strength waning, and finally collapsed weakly onto the steering wheel, utterly exhausted.
After driving for some distance without a driver, the car crashed heavily into a tree.
The greens pulled the driver off the vehicle and walked towards the Javelin Greenskins.
Green-skinned soldiers who had come from other places also carried several guard corpses and rushed over there.
The wild boars, weighing hundreds of kilograms, seemed weightless in their hands as they ran briskly towards the assembly point.
At the temporary assembly point, the Javelin Greenskins were speaking in a language that humans couldn't understand.
That was the language of the orcs from another world: "The food is far from enough; we need to hunt in other places."
"Stonehammer, Angry Fang, you two take this food back to base camp. The rest of you, come with me!"
After the Javelin Orc finished speaking, the two orcs called Stonehammer and Wrathfang carried the corpses away and disappeared into the forest in a few leaps.
Stonehammer was the unfortunate orc, but judging from his speed, it seemed that being run over by the vehicle hadn't caused him any serious damage.
The javelin orc led the other young orcs toward the main road, which led directly to City B.
After they left, the woods returned to calm.
Only the bloodstains left on the ground silently tell the story of the fierce battle that once took place here.
...
Liu Nian was in a good mood and woke up feeling refreshed!
After waking Lu Jiaqi, the two had a simple breakfast and then went downstairs to prepare for their departure.
It must be said that although this little girl is still quite spoiled, she did not hold her own.
After checking out, the landlady warmly saw the two to the door and invited them to come again next time.
A customer who has plenty of money and few problems is a god of wealth!
Unlike some guests who are stingy when paying and also try to steal small items from the room.
After the two had walked away, the proprietress happily calculated that this profit was enough to buy several more first-tier foods.
My son hasn't eaten meat for several days, so I'll go to the leader later to exchange some monster meat for him to replenish his strength.
The proprietress walked into the shop, thinking about how she hoped the rich old man would still be staying there when he returned.
"Oh dear, sir, please take care!" Seeing the caravan members coming down from upstairs, she put on a smile and hurried forward to greet them.
The weather was nice, and Liu Nian and his group decided to leave before the sun became too strong.
Arriving in City B as soon as possible is the right thing to do; if we follow the original plan, it will take another two days to arrive.
Taking a detour now will waste at least a day. If there are further delays along the way, it will take two more days.
Merchants are sensitive to distances; they have their own information channels to find out how long it takes to pass through City B from here.
Liu Nian listened to their conversation on the way and realized that she really lacked experience in traveling long distances.
It was obvious that there were some merchants here who needed to go to City B, and some who were unwilling to pay for hotels, while the bolder ones stayed in abandoned buildings around the camp.
As the caravan set off, they emerged from the abandoned building and joined the convoy.
The village regained some vitality thanks to the caravan's departure.
The sounds of vendors hawking their wares and people chatting mingled together, and Lu Jiaqi sat in the passenger seat looking around like a curious child.
The convoy quickly assembled and set off in a grand procession.
After the car had driven some distance, the warning calls of ravens came from ahead.
There's an ambush!!
Upon hearing the raven's warning, Liu Nian quickly stopped the vehicle.
In the woods on both sides of the road, a gentle breeze rustled the leaves, as if welcoming Liu Nian and his group.
Seeing Liu Nian's serious expression, Lu Jiaqi wisely refrained from disturbing him.
Fortunately, Liu Nian was in the back seat of the car, so there was no disturbance.
Upon seeing this, the guards responsible for covering the rear assumed the vehicle had broken down and rushed over to check.
Seeing the guard's concern, Liu Nian told him her guess.
"There's an ambush ahead!" Liu Nian said to the guards in front of him.
Whether he believes it or not, I've said what I needed to say!
Liu Nian turned the car around and drove towards the village.
There's a living person who needs to be sent to City B, and he can't take any risks.
Because this is a promise, a man's promise!
