Chapter 443 Centaur Tribe
One hour ago.
In the depths of a dense forest more than ten kilometers away from the large prayer ceremony held by the Secret Snake Cult.
Three iron trees, four or five meters high, like human figures, are standing behind a man and a woman. On the rough trunks, there is a face of an old human. On both sides of the branches, there is a particularly thick branch extending out, like arms. These are the ironwood guards of the elves.
However, they consume a lot of energy to move, so usually they are basically in a state of rest, rooted in the ground, slowly absorbing the nourishment of the earth.
And the elves also use the characteristics of the ironwood guards. In addition to regularly performing natural witchcraft to help them grow, they will also arrange ironwood guards in some important areas of Ferdinand Forest as a hidden line of defense to deal with invasions.
This is exactly where the ironwood guards are stationed.
Lambert, who had just returned from the sneak attack, was talking to Anna.
"Miss Anna, I'm sorry, I didn't save your people." Lambert said apologetically.
"No, no! Sir Lambert, please don't say that. This is because the opponent is too strong." Anna waved her hands and said.
She glanced at the two holes on Lambert's light-colored linen coat and knew that Sir Lambert in front of her had actually tried his best.
No one expected that there was an epic strongman in the cultists' team.
Because of this, Bashalan's defense force was quickly destroyed by the cultists in a short period of time.
If Sir Lambert hadn't rescued her, her fate would probably be the same as other tribesmen, and she would be used as a sacrifice in the cult prayer ceremony at this moment. Therefore, she was actually very grateful to Ryan's friend Lambert.
However, it was extremely difficult for Anna to give up rescuing her tribesmen.
Because Aunt Delanna was also among the captured people, after her mother disappeared, Aunt Delanna was her only relative. In addition, although some pure-blooded elves looked down on half-bloods like her, there were also many pure-blooded elves who took good care of her.
Therefore, Anna was still very entangled at the moment.
It was almost impossible to rescue by relying on her own strength.
But if she asked her friend Ryan to try to rescue them again, she couldn't say it.
"Miss Anna, I will go again later. At least I can disrupt the other party's ritual and delay the time for the other party to hold prayers. As long as your people are alive, we will always have a chance to rescue them." Lambert thought for a while and said.
"In addition, I calculated the time. Sir Ryan should be here soon."
Because Lambert remembered very clearly that according to what Ryan had told him before, he set out a day later than him, and he should be in Ferdinand Forest at present.
In fact, Ryan may have been rushing towards him.
Hearing Lambert mention that Ryan would also come, Anna's beautiful eyes suddenly flashed a glimmer, but then, she showed an extremely worried expression and whispered:
"But if Ryan faces that person, I'm afraid..."
In Anna's memory, although Ryan's strength is very strong, he is not an epic strongman after all. If he wants to deal with that person, he may not be able to do it.
The most important thing is that she doesn't want Ryan to take risks for her or her people.
When the incident happened before, Anna wanted to send a message to Ryan immediately, but after thinking about it, she gave up the idea.
Because she underestimated the enemy's strength at that time, she thought that with the strength of the elves, it would be no problem to resist the opponent's attack, but she didn't expect the enemy's strength to be so strong.
Later, when the battle happened, Anna never had the opportunity to send a message to Ryan.
So, this is why Ryan in the imperial capital has not received any message from Anna.
"Don't worry! Miss Anna, when Lord Ryan comes, these difficulties will not be difficulties."
"That guy will be defeated, and your people will be saved." Lambert said confidently.
Although the epic-level strongman of the Secret Snake Cult is very powerful, Lambert has witnessed Ryan's battle with the incarnation of the Goddess of the Underworld in the secret realm of Dragon Valley, so he naturally has strong confidence in Ryan.
At worst, after Ryan comes, he can also take the opportunity to save all the elves.
"Mr. Lambert, otherwise, please harass them here while I go to Ferdinand City to report what happened in Basaran."
"Look, my injuries are all healed now."
Anna stood up, indicating that her leg injury had fully recovered.
In the previous battle to protect the town of Basaran, she was injured in the tibia of her left leg, otherwise she would not have stayed in this relatively secluded place to recover first.
"Well, although your injuries healed quickly, your physical strength has not recovered." Lambert shook his head and said.
"Miss Anna, it stands to reason that such a major event happened in the southern part of the forest, but there is still no movement in Ferdinand City. Don't you find this strange?"
"In fact, if you think about it, you should understand that something must have happened in Ferdinand City, so I'm afraid that it may be meaningless for you to break through many difficulties and rush over."
Lambert's words made Anna quite enlightened!
In terms of combat experience and worldly wisdom, Lambert is naturally much better than Anna, who is like a blank sheet of paper, and he can see the problem directly!
"But" Just as Anna was anxiously thinking about what to do.
"Who!"
Suddenly, Lambert's face became serious and he looked towards the side of the dense forest.
"Dang!"
The next second, Lambert drew his sword like lightning and blocked something.
There was a "chi" sound on the ground, and a short feather arrow was stuck.
"Sure enough, it's very fast!"
At this time, a blond young man in a noble hunting suit appeared vaguely in the dense forest, and he had a long blowpipe in his hand.
But the opponent's sneak attack had already made Lambert quite angry. In addition, he clearly sensed that the opponent was the only one nearby. In this case, the battle site could not be chosen here.
Don't forget that he promised Ryan to protect the safety of Miss Anna next to him, so it would be better to move the battlefield as far away as possible.
"Miss Anna, you hide behind the ironwood guard!" Lambert said in a deep voice.
As soon as the voice fell, Lambert disappeared from the spot like a gust of wind.
Minos, the 'evil snake', who was about to say a few words, suddenly had his pupils shrink. Lambert's two-handed sword was already approaching the city. The opponent's speed was faster than he expected!
This made him tiptoe and the whole person quickly flew back.
From Anna's perspective, there were only two "swish" sounds, and the figures of the two people disappeared in the depths of the dense forest.
She only heard the rumbling sound of high-speed airflow slapping from that direction, and the sound of a large number of trees breaking and falling, but the expected metal collision sound only appeared a few times.
About less than ten seconds later.
Suddenly, a familiar figure flashed out from the dense forest. It was Lambert. Just when Anna's face was happy and she thought Lambert had defeated the opponent, her pretty face changed again.
Because on Lambert's left shoulder, there was a thumb-thick emerald green snake biting him!
"Chi!"
Lambert, expressionless, swung his sword and instantly cut off a piece of meat and the snake.
However, the venom of this emerald green snake seemed to be very unusual. Although Lambert had handled it very decisively, the blood flowing from the incision at this moment was bright red mixed with a strange light green fluorescence.
"No! It's highly toxic!" Anna ran over in a hurry, her face pale, and said.
Before Lambert could say anything, Anna immediately cast the first-level natural witchcraft "Healing" she mastered. Suddenly, small green leaves emitting light green light formed a small tornado that wrapped Lambert in it.
And small green leaves, like moths to a flame, continued to rush into Lambert's wound, attached to and quickly formed a green light film.
But to Anna's surprise, Lambert's wound did not heal, and still bleeds. Her bright green natural energy seems unable to remove the dark green venom remaining on the wound.
Just as Anna was about to cast the spell again, Lambert waved his hand to stop Anna's second spell and said,
"The opponent's poison is very unusual. Miss Anna, there is no need to waste your mental energy. The most urgent thing is that we have to move immediately."
Although he does not know witchcraft, his strong physique is no less effective than ordinary witchcraft treatment. However, it is still difficult to resist the opponent's toxicity. Lambert knows that the opponent's toxicity is very strong.
Anna's casting is also ineffective, but it is good enough to stabilize the toxicity.
"But..."
"The other party was also seriously injured. He won't dare to come again in a short time. I'm worried about that person." Lambert shook his head and said.
Lambert was very confident in his own strength. As long as the other party was not at the epic level, he would definitely feel uncomfortable after being hit by his almost full-strength sword.
In addition, although the two had just fought for a short time, they had already figured out each other's strength level. Moreover, Lambert also saw from the other party's tactics that the other party had a close connection with snakes.
Obviously, the other party was a legendary peak powerhouse of the Secret Snake Cult, and was in the same group as the group of Secret Snake Cultists who invaded Bashalan.
With this analysis, Lambert naturally understood that he and Anna had to change places immediately.
"Well, Mr. Lambert, I know there is a secret shelter nearby, which should be safer." Anna nodded and said.
Several kilometers away.
The condition of the 'evil snake' Minos was also not very good!
"It seems to be the way of the Tide Sword Saint. He is very strong!"
Minos licked his lips, his face had an abnormal blush, and his right hand covered his abdomen. A narrow wound still emitted a faint white light. This was Lambert's sword faith lingering on it.
Because of this, Minos' body was prevented from healing quickly.
After finding a safe place, Minos took out a bottle of potion from his arms and covered the wound. Then, he immediately fired a flare into the air. A firework signal of a small green snake immediately appeared in the air.
The deputy pope of the Secret Snake Cult, Quilut, and his group not far away, naturally saw Minos's flare at the first time.
This made Quilut laugh and said, "Sure enough, he is worthy of being the 'evil snake' ranked first among the Secret Snake Envoys. He found that guy so quickly."
"Yes, Lord Minos is very efficient." The Secret Snake Cult members on the side immediately smiled and agreed.
"Let the search team search in that direction and release the mutant flying snakes. Once they find the person, they should release the signal flare immediately. As for the others, continue to repair the ritual."
Quileute gave orders and stood up.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Vice-Pope." The other members of the Secret Snake Cult bowed and said.
Just as Quileute decided to go to the location of the signal, he stopped as soon as he took a step.
He suddenly looked at the dense forest on the left, smiled, and said, "Huh? It seems that we have guests."
Suddenly!
"Swoosh! Swoosh!"
The next second, dozens of feather arrows and javelins attacked the Secret Snake Cult members who were arranging the ritual, but in an instant, they were blocked by a huge light black film shield that suddenly rose.
Although these feather arrows and short spears were very sharp and the throwing force was very strong, they could not penetrate the black film. From this point, it can be seen that the attacker's strength is not as good as Lambert, who can split the shield with one sword.
At this time, the members of the Secret Snake Cult turned around and released their innate witchcraft to deal with it. They also saw clearly that the people coming were a group of tall centaurs.
These centaurs were over two and a half meters tall, with a strong human body on the upper body and a horse body with four hooves on the lower body. Most of them had brown or gray hair.
However, the one leading the group was a white centaur over three meters tall, with a middle-aged male face, a beard, tied hair, holding a javelin and a shield, and looked extremely strong.
Just now, he was the only one who successfully used a javelin to kill a member of the Secret Snake Cult.
"Foreign invaders, die!"
Seeing that the long-range attack was ineffective, the centaurs who launched the surprise attack immediately shouted and rushed towards the members of the Secret Snake Cult fiercely, as if they were going to use a close-range attack.
With four hooves, they were extremely fast. Dozens of centaurs charged, giving people a feeling as if thousands of cavalry were charging!
The people of the Secret Snake Cult were also a little confused when they saw these centaurs for the first time, because these centaurs are almost invisible in the outside world. They are considered to be a vassal race of the elves, and only exist in small quantities in Ferdinand Forest.
The unknown represents uncertainty about strength.
Therefore, when the members of the Secret Snake Cult saw the might of the other side's charge, they also showed fear for a while!
"It's actually a centaur? Not bad, I guess there will be more gifts to be obtained in the prayer ceremony." When the deputy pope of the Secret Snake Cult saw this scene, Quileute laughed instead.
"Late legendary?" Quileute looked at the white centaur and smiled even more brightly.
He flashed, and the next second, he came to the center of the battlefield, and a man appeared in front of the centaurs' charge.
Facing the sudden Quileute, the white centaur leader who was sprinting was slightly stunned, but then his right arm suddenly expanded by twice, and he stabbed the javelin in his hand heavily at Quileute!
In the eyes of the Centaur leader, any enemy facing his charge would have to dodge, and he could take the opportunity to break into the enemy camp and rescue the elves.
But the result was beyond his expectation!
He saw the metal javelin he poked down, but was tightly grasped by the Quileute with a "snap", but that was not a big deal. The next moment, in the shocked eyes of the Centaur leader, he found that the hand holding the javelin was raised with one hand.
Quileute withstood the charge of the white Centaur leader who was running at hundreds of kilometers per hour and weighing more than half a ton with one hand.
With this strength
, the Centaur leader had a very bad premonition in his heart!
Sure enough, immediately afterwards, a terrifying radiance of will radiated all around!
In an instant, a dark-colored patterned python as thick as a bucket suddenly appeared on each Centaur, and began to entangle, roll and tighten at the same time!
For a moment, screams continued, and all these strong centaurs fell to the ground, but the centaurs were still fighting hard with the giant pythons, but the size of these giant pythons seemed to match the strength of the centaurs.
The stronger the strength, the bigger the patterned giant python!
Especially the giant python that the white centaur leader was fighting was as thick as a millstone and more than ten meters long.
"This is a domain! You... You are epic!"
At this time, the white centaur leader didn't understand! The inconspicuous hooded black robed man in front of him turned out to be an epic strongman.
"Guessed right, but it's too late!"
"Crackle!"
As Quileute stretched out his right hand and clenched it, more than 30 centaurs in the audience were strangled by the giant python that suddenly exerted force, and the sound of broken bones echoed throughout the venue!
"The giant python domain of the Quileute Vice Pope is getting more and more powerful."
"Yes, this centaur leader looks very powerful, but unfortunately he couldn't resist it."
"The strength of the Vice Pope is naturally beyond doubt, otherwise we wouldn't have been so easy to take down when we attacked the elf town."
"."
Many members of the Secret Snake Cult immediately flattered.
"I've always heard that there is a tribe of centaurs in Ferdinand Forest that has long been extinct outside. This time
I finally saw a living one." "Go, take these centaurs into custody and sacrifice them together during the prayer ceremony later." Quileute was in a good mood and pointed to the centaurs lying on the ground and ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Vice Pope."
The members of the Secret Snake Cult also looked happy and bowed
in response. Although the biggest beneficiaries of the prayer ceremony are those who are strong and have high status in the sect, the upper class eats meat and the lower class can also drink some soup. Those who also participate in the prayer can also get a considerable improvement in strength.
Of course, in terms of magnitude, it cannot be compared with the sect's top leaders.
But after all, there are, right!
This is why, compared to cultivation, they are more keen to hold prayer ceremonies, because as long as the sacrifices are of high quality, the strength will be improved very quickly!
Therefore, originally, in the eyes of most of the followers of the Secret Snake Cult, the various powerful creatures that appeared in the Ferdinand Forest were troublesome things that delayed their actions, but now it seems that they are not.
These are all the food for their strength improvement!
At the same time.
In the sky dozens of kilometers away from the No. 7 outpost, a slender airship like a date pit suddenly flew over, which immediately attracted the attention of the logistics team left by Ryan in the outpost.
"Lady Beyonce, come and see, this airship seems unusual!" A logistics personnel responsible for observation on the airship immediately said.
Colonel Ian in the outpost also received a report from his subordinates at the first time, saying that an unidentified airship appeared.
For a time, everyone's attention was focused on this airship.
At this time, the extremely streamlined airship suddenly began to slow down and slowly stopped in the air several kilometers away from them.
