Giant insect world raises flying chickens

Chapter 22 Melanie

The team composed of seven people moved slowly around the sometimes bright and sometimes dark hills and mountains.

In order to avoid the sound waves of the giant sound tree cicada, everyone needs to use all their energy on the road, without any time delay, and there is no extra energy to talk about anything.

This is not an outing, nor is it a trip.

I encountered some bugs on the road, but luckily they all quickened their pace and escaped.

Yura, who was walking ahead, stopped suddenly.

Yura took a sniff and said quickly: "I smell the flame, it's the smell of powerful flame magic mixed with worms burning meat!"

Huck sniffed. "I don't smell it, and there's no fire nearby."

Brad also looked around, "I didn't smell it either, let's get out of here first!"

Seeing that Brad didn't believe himself and was about to leave, Yura spoke to Huck.

"My nose is very sensitive, especially to the smell of elements. Someone must be using fire magic not far away. If we get close, maybe we can get a blessing!"

Huck looked around, "Can you tell which direction it is?"

Yura thought about it seriously for a while, and looked around.

"there!"

Yura pointed forward, and that was where they were headed.

"Okay, let's be careful!"

Originally, Brad led them along the small path, but considering that it might be the Flame Mage of Flame City, they still walked towards the main road.

It is easier to walk on the main road. I thought there were a lot of bugs here before, but after walking for a few minutes, I found that the roadsides here are full of killed bugs.

There are also some undead bugs, but basically they can't pose a threat to Brad and the others.

The people of Nodessas are all warriors, and a few individual bugs are really not a problem, mainly because the large-scale swarms cannot stop them.

Several of Brad have been mercenaries, and they are very skilled in killing people and killing bugs.

Some undead humans on the ground will also make up for the knife.

Bugs will lay eggs in the human body, so those humans who are covered by bugs, even if they can move their hands and feet, are basically a dead end, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Human lives here are as worthless as bugs.

Huck led his sister through the corpses and wreckage on the road, with a very calm expression on his face.

It was the same with Yura and the others, the people here were all people who had seen the dead.

The only exception was Xi Luoer who didn't dare to open her eyes.

Huck continued to walk forward for more than an hour, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Brad came over and said, "Let her come down and walk for a while, you can rest, and I will carry you."

Huck had walked a long way with his sister on his back, and everyone felt that Huck must be very tired now.

Huck smiled and said, "I'm not tired, mainly because I feel a lot lighter."

Brad didn't understand, "Easy?"

Huck explained: "There are a lot fewer bugs on the ground, and we haven't seen any human corpses for more than half an hour."

"And look at the footprints on the ground. I think there are still many people who survived. The one in front of us should be a powerful noble leader."

Yura nodded, "I can smell holy water in the air, there must be priests from the temple in the line ahead!"

Brad also showed a slight smile. It is a good comfort and encouragement for everyone to hear the good news now.

"Let's go faster, our friends are ahead!"

Huck shouted loudly, and then strode forward with Xiloer on his back.

Everyone, who was already exhausted, cheered up at this time and made progress together!
Everyone walked with all their strength for more than an hour, and when the sun rose and the surroundings became warmer, they finally saw the team in front of them.

The two teams saw each other when they were a kilometer apart.

The two sides slowly approached each other, and soon the team in front stopped to rest.

Huck also led a few people to approach at a faster speed. It can be seen from the more than 100 people on the other side who actively stopped and waited for someone that they were not the kind of indifferent people.

After getting closer, Huck also saw the situation of these people.

Most of the people in this team are ordinary people, and many of them have injuries.

The people who were resting nearby saw Huck and others approaching, and quickly notified the leader.

When Huck and Yura passed by, a beautiful woman in a priest's robe looked at Huck in surprise.

"Are you Huck of the Jurgen family?"

Huck looked at the somewhat familiar big sister in front of him, "Who are you? Have we met before?"

Melanie said gently: "I am Melanie, the priest of the Temple of Light. I took the people nearby to take refuge in Langton City tonight. Have you separated from the Jurgen family?"

Huck looked at Melanie dully, "Isn't this the direction of Dragon Kingdom?"

Melanie shook her head regretfully, "No, there is a fork in the road, your guide must have missed it because of nervousness."

Melanie was a little puzzled, "People from the Jurgen family went to take refuge in the Dragon Kingdom? This is not a good idea. Humans who don't have dragon blood are not friendly there."

Huck explained what happened, and said that he was separated from his family members and decided to go to the Dragon Kingdom halfway.

Melanie looked at Huck with maternal tender eyes.

"It's okay, Langdon City is ahead, let's go to the temple to rest first, and then I will help you contact your family over there."

"Thank you, Sister Melanie."

Melanie showed a kind smile, "This is what I should do. Who is the leader of your team?"

Melanie looked at the team behind Huck, and it was better to talk to the leader of the team for some things.

Yura said: "It's Huck! We encountered many things on the road, and it was Huck who brought us all here together."

Xi Luoer also shouted: "Brother Huck has been carrying me behind his back!"

Huck touched Xi Luoer's head, now anyway, as long as it's safe.

Brad also brought out Huck's heroic side that he didn't mention in his explanation, "Master Huck is the most charismatic young nobleman I have ever seen! And he is indeed a genius!"

Melanie looked at Huck in surprise, "It seems that you have aristocratic temperament. If possible in the future, you should try to become a lord."

Huck nodded, "Yes, I have decided to become an excellent lord in the future!"

Melanie nodded to Huck with approving eyes, "It is also the tacit obligation of our temple and all countries to discover talents of the lord type. Follow me and I will protect your safety."

Huck was relieved at last.

"Okay, sister Melanie!"

Melanie has been looking at Huck all the time, and doesn't care about Xiloer and Yula.

"Okay Huck, you should be very tired, rest in the carriage, there are delicious food and sweet juice in it."

Huck naturally went into the carriage with Melanie.

The convoy soon started to move forward again, and Melanie didn't go out to take care of things. There were mercenary knights and trainee priests from the temple outside.

Huck was lying on the soft bed with the scent of Melanie, and when he was eating with the chicken, he also curiously asked about the doubts in his heart.

"Sister Melanie, do you know people in our family? I feel that you treat me much better than the rest."

Melanie sat quietly on the side, and said seriously at this time:
"I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do."

Huck asked curiously, "Is it because I'm a noble child?"

"Not like that." Melanie shook her head.

"The Temple of Light has such a rule, try to support and help everyone who has leadership qualities as much as possible. If possible, you can arrange priests to assist these lords."

Huck said happily: "Then am I this kind of talent?"

Melanie smiled and said, "I will protect you, but I have to observe the rest of the things. You are still too young."

In spite of this, Huck was very satisfied, so he lowered his head and continued to nibble on the fruit.

"Then sister Melanie will continue to observe, I like to be familiar with the kind and beautiful big sister!"
