Chapter 44: The Wizard Blocking the Road (Please read, collect, and recommend!)
Chapter 44
The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, the gates of Hongyan City were already open.
Three figures pulled a simple truck and headed off into the distance along the winding official road.
This escort mission was not only undertaken by Lin En alone, he had two companions: a man and a woman.
The man's name was Bill, with a hideous scar across his face. His rough appearance made Lynn involuntarily think of the Wizard Dre.
The woman's name is Mena. She is heavily made up, and her enchanting figure is perfectly outlined by tights and light armor, making her look both dangerous and seductive.
According to Lynn's observation, Bill and Mena were already too familiar with each other - from their sticky conversation, it was obvious that they had already had sex several times.
Making a living on the edge of a knife every day, the men and women here have no worldly moral concepts at all.
Last night, the two even wanted to drag Lin En along, but Lin En had no idea as he was still busy taking drugs and practicing.
The employer paid a deposit in advance and promised to pay the balance after the task was completed, and also stated that the remuneration would be more generous if the task could be delivered faster.
This made Bill and Mena very motivated and they had almost no intention of delaying.
Lynn had no objection to this, as it was in his interest to complete the task quickly.
In this way, a group of three people and a truck set out from Hongyan City and traveled almost day and night.
Except for a few necessary breaks, they did not delay.
These days, traffic control is being implemented throughout the Green Forest Province, which is quite troublesome.
Fortunately, Lin En and his companions had the customs clearance documents and extra gold and silver provided by their employer, so the official inspection did not cause them any trouble.
Although some people attacked them secretly, the three of them were very powerful and easily dealt with them without causing any impact.
Traveling at full speed, in just ten days, they had crossed the Green Forest Province, crossed the Anda Province, and arrived at the border of the Blue Moon Province.
After crossing the Blue Moon Province, you will reach the end of this journey: the Cang Yue Plateau.
However, just as they entered the Blue Moon Province and passed a narrow mountain road, a group of figures suddenly blocked their way.
"As expected."
Lynn thought to himself.
He had expected this. After all, such a high reward for the task, coupled with the employer's urging, clearly meant that these goods were not ordinary items and would naturally attract the covetousness of some malicious forces.
Although they had been harassed by some people before, they were just ordinary bandits and were not considered a big problem.
Now, the one who stopped them should be the one who asked their employer to urge them to travel overnight.
Lin En looked over and his pupils shrank suddenly, because the other party was a transcendent! At the end of the mountain road, a white-haired middle-aged man stood quietly, wearing a long robe, with piercing eyes, locking onto Lin En and others like a hawk.
His aura was cold and oppressive, and the air around him seemed to be stagnant because of him.
"A second-level wizard apprentice?"
Lin En quickly detected the opponent's strength through the crystal ball in his arms: mental strength 13, physical strength 3.
Because the strength was too weak, Lin En judged that the other party obviously did not belong to the coalition forces of Night Shadow Bunker, but its identity was still a mystery, so he did not act rashly.
"You're looking for death! Crash into him!"
Bill and Mena didn't notice anything unusual.
Bill grinned, gripped the reins of the carriage tightly, and ignored the other person.
With the sound of wheels rolling over the mountain road, Bill drove the carriage towards the white-haired man.
However, just as the carriage was about to hit him—
The man raised his head slightly and chanted an unknown spell in a low voice.
Suddenly, a cold breath filled the air, the ground suddenly cracked, and several pale bone-like branches shot out from the ground, piercing straight up like spears!
“Puff——”
The sharp branches instantly pierced the horse and the carriage, blood splattered everywhere, and the carriage overturned to the ground with a loud bang.
The hideous smiles on Bill and Mena's faces were replaced by horror. They were thrown off the carriage by the strong impact and fell heavily to the ground.
Lin En was prepared and rolled outwards twice to avoid the center of the shock wave.
He half-crouched on the ground vigilantly, staring coldly at the white-haired man in front of him.
"Wizard...it's actually a wizard!"
Bill and Mena had lost their former arrogance at this moment, and were trembling like sieves.
They never imagined that what stopped them was the terrifying existence in the legend: a wizard who sacrificed blood and ate humans!
If the pale branch that just climbed out of the ground had not failed to pierce the horse, the two of them would probably have been skewered as human meat.
The white-haired middle-aged man glanced coldly at the two people lying on the ground, without a trace of pity in his eyes.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
He spoke slowly, his voice as cold as ice: "Hand over Count Lusen's things."
Hearing this, Bill and Mena looked at each other, obviously not understanding the meaning of this.
Lin En was shocked: "Earl Greenson's things..."
He took a deep breath, his eyes focused as he swept over the overturned carriage, and finally stopped on the damaged cargo box.
Wasn't the white-haired man talking to them just now, but to the box... or something in the box? "It seems you don't know anything. Go open the box!"
The cold voice of the white-haired man interrupted Lin En's thoughts and completely confirmed his guess.
The man looked directly at Bill and Mena and pulled out a worn bell from his pocket.
jingle--
The clear ringing of the bell echoed on the quiet mountain road with a strange rhythm.
Bill and Mena's expressions suddenly became dull and their eyes were unfocused, as if they had lost all ability to think.
Lin En also felt dizzy, as if countless needles were pricking his head.
He quickly suppressed his discomfort and did not rush to break free. Instead, he quietly imitated Bill and Mena's expressions, pretending to be in the same dazed state.
Bill and Mena turned around mechanically, staggered, and walked slowly towards the cargo box behind the carriage.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Just as their hands were about to touch the cargo box, a sudden change broke the silence!
Boom! The cargo box exploded, wood chips flew everywhere, and a green shadow suddenly jumped out of the box.
It was a monster emitting a strange green light - a little tree man with a body twisted like a plant, shaped like a goblin.
Its face was ugly and ferocious, its eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light, and its palms were like thick tree roots, covered with barbs.
The Green Tree Man didn't hesitate at all, and his huge palm instantly slapped Bill and Mena.
The two were controlled by the ringing and were unable to react at all.
Even in normal conditions, they would definitely not be able to withstand this fatal blow.
Swish!
The green tree man's hands smashed down like a giant hammer, smashing Bill and Mena's heads to pieces! Blood and brain matter splattered everywhere, and a foul smell filled the air instantly.
The monster let out a low roar, and the next second, it leaped up and pounced on the white-haired man! (End of this chapter)
