Unparalleled Beast Soul

Chapter 71 The Ring of Prayer

For this lion-born noble young master, there are not many things that he will never forget. 【】

Leon is one of them.

If Leon hadn't appeared, then he should be enjoying a luxurious and warm room, mellow wine, gorgeous beauties and flattery at a certain noble's salon in Tormund City, not in this cold The bone-chilling wilderness with a group of rough and dirty mercenaries.

"It's you…"

He couldn't help but let out a low growl from his throat, like an angry lion.

It's just that Wald forgot that he is not a real lion, but only has the appearance of a Beamon lion descendant!

It was also unexpected for Leon to meet Wald in the enemy's camp.

He assassinated the guard who was in charge of the horses, used his battle ax to launch the whirlwind slashing combat technique, cut off a dozen horse legs in one breath, and scared the rest of the horses away, sneaking into the woods before the enemy could react.

Leon had originally planned to play a cat-and-mouse game with the opponent in the woods. This was his best tactic. As long as the opponent fell into the trap, even if he couldn't kill them all, it would be enough to lose his troops.

However, the decisiveness of the mercenary captain Ike surprised Leon a bit, but it was not out of his original plan. As soon as the mercenaries left, he immediately showed up and was ready to follow up to find the fighter.

But what people didn't expect was that the mercenaries actually left Wald behind.

"it's me…"

Lao Lei smiled, as if a poor man who had been hungry for decades turned into a stripped young lady, his smile was so evil!

Leon's smile poured over Wald's head like a bucket of ice water, making him realize his situation clearly. All the mercenaries left, and he was the only one in the camp!

In terms of status, he is a lion-born nobleman of the upper clan, far more noble than the lower clan like Leon, but in terms of his own combat power... Wald knows very well that ten of them added up will not be Leon's opponent.

Regarding this point, this noble young master was very self-aware, so his handsome face suddenly turned pale, and he turned around and wanted to run away.

He wanted to run, but he also wanted Leon to give him a chance.

call!

Leon swung the weapon in his hand without hesitation, and the heavy battle ax carried terrifying power, whistling and drawing a straight trajectory in the air, and slashed towards Wald at an alarming speed.

To deal with such an insidious villain, Leon would never give him a chance to escape, keeping him would only be a disaster.

"what!"

Wald just ran a few steps, and the tomahawk chased him and cut his back!

But when the ax blade just touched the coat, a bright halo suddenly appeared on Wald's body, and he even evaded the attack that condensed at least [-]% of Leon's power.

The tomahawk spun and landed heavily on the nearby woodland, and Wald, who was hit by the blow, was knocked a few feet away, screaming and falling to the ground.

what is this?Leon was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't figure out how this useless person could forcefully take his mortal blow.

Although he was extremely puzzled, his movements were not slow at all. He immediately pulled out the tiger thorn saber with his backhand, and rushed forward with one stride.

He caught up with the opponent in three steps and two steps, and the raised saber brought a icy cold light, Leon wondered if the miracle just now would happen again.

"Ah! Please, don't kill me!"

Seeing Leon who was chasing after him ferociously, Wald's originally fragile psychological defense suddenly collapsed.

The fear of death made him completely give up his dignity, and he also forgot his hatred for Leon. He struggled to get up and fell to his knees: "I know I was wrong, I will give you whatever you want, and I still have money. for you…"

His face was covered with mud and broken leaves, and tears and snot flowed down his face. He was extremely cowardly and despicable.

The blade of the tiger thorn saber barely stopped next to Wald's throat, and the cold murderous aura made his skin goosebumps. It looks very ridiculous.

"Have money? I heard that you have been kicked out, what money do you have? Do you have it with you now?" Leon asked jokingly, holding a saber: "How much is your life worth?"

"I, I still have [-] gold coins and the private property of two shops, all, all of them are in Tormund City..." Wald said pitifully: "I can take you back right now, and give you all, all of it! "

Do you and I seem to have as little IQ as you?Leon wasn't going to talk nonsense with him anymore.

But he stopped as soon as he moved his hand: "Let's talk about the money, what did you use to block my throwing ax just now?"

Trembling, Wald took off a silver-gray ring from the ring finger of his right hand, held it in front of Leon with both hands: "This, this is the ring of prayer, which seals a defensive magic, in case of danger It can be triggered automatically when the time comes."

"My uncle got it from the secret realm of the sanctuary. It is a sacred artifact left over from the ancient times. I will give it to you now. I beg you to forgive me!"

When he mentioned his uncle, Wald couldn't help flashing a look of resentment in his eyes, and because he was worried that Leon would find out, he quickly lowered his head.

It's just that this didn't escape Leon's sharp eyes, and he couldn't help but smile coldly in his heart.

Leon didn't know where the sacred realm was. It was the first time he had heard the name of the Ring of Prayer, but he had heard of the holy artifact.

On the Continent of Glory, objects containing magical power, including weapons, armor, jewelry, and even daily necessities are collectively referred to as magic artifacts, or magical artifacts for short; while special items related to divine arts and belief in divine power are called Hallows.

Whether it is a magic weapon or a sacred weapon, they all have their own special functions, some are relatively common things, and some are rare and powerful.

Wald's prayer ring can automatically trigger the guardian when the owner is fatally attacked, which undoubtedly shows its value.

Smiling coldly in his heart, Leon reached out and grabbed the prayer ring: "I want this ring, as for your life..."

At the final moment of fate arbitration, Wald raised his head again, with expressions of pleading, hope, flattery, etc. mixed on his face.

The next moment, his expression suddenly changed, his eyes revealed an unbelievable light, and he stared at Leon.

He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything. A bloodstain on his neck was slowly expanding.

"Your life, I want it too!"

Leon said lightly, put away his saber and straightened up, picked up his battle ax from the side, and quickly left the mercenary camp.

When Leon's figure completely disappeared into the woods, Wald, who was kneeling on the ground, took his last breath.

His death was like a drop of water thrown into a big river, and it did not cause the slightest waves, neither now nor in the future.

...

A camp on the hills at night.

Aklan stood on the roof of a carriage, holding a staff and looking into the distance, the bone-piercing wind was blowing his thin robe.

He said suddenly, with a hint of excitement in his tone: "The enemy is coming, prepare to fight!"

Being in a favorable terrain under the open environment of the plain, using the two spells of eagle vision and insight, even at night, the mage can use the moonlight to detect movements more than ten miles away.

Just as Leon predicted in advance, the enemy lurking in the dark really ran out.

And all of them run with their feet, and they don't have a single horse!There was a faint smile on the corner of the mage's lips, as if he could smell the breath of victory.

Below him, Rock Hammer, Fire Hammer, and two other warriors were loading crossbow bolts in a leisurely manner, with a pile of well-stringed crossbows stacked beside them.

This standard standard crossbow is produced by excellent craftsmen in the human race country. It has an effective range of nearly [-] meters. It uses a special three-edged armor-piercing arrow that can penetrate metal armor at a short distance. Its power is far greater than that of ordinary handheld light weapons. crossbow.

In the underground black market of Tormund City, a standard crossbow like this was sold for [-] gold coins, and the cost of [-] crossbows consumed most of Leon's funds.

But the high cost is totally worth it.

Xue Ni stood behind and nervously watched the Bear Hammers prepare for the battle. Leon's absence made her feel a little uneasy. Although Rock Hammer told her to hide in the carriage and not come out, she still hoped that she could be of some help in the battle with the enemy.

"Sister Xueni, just stand here and pass us the crossbow later!"

After stringing the crossbow in his hand, Huo Hammer smiled at Xue Ni. His optimistic and calm appearance infected the other party, and made the rabbit-born girl feel much more at ease.

"Okay..." Xue Ni nodded vigorously. She was not strong enough to wind the crossbow, but handing the crossbow was not a problem.

It made her feel less useless, so much happier, and less frightened of the incoming enemies.

But in her heart, Xue Ni was still a little worried about Leon who hadn't returned yet.

On this side, at the junction of the woods and the plain, heavily armed mercenaries were rushing forward at the fastest speed.

The mercenary captain was in a bad mood. He felt like a fool who had been fooled. The only way to vent his anger was by killing.

Looking at the camp on the hills in the distance, the other party's carriage was still there, and his hostility doubled and exploded.

"Brothers, rush up and kill them all together. All the money you earn this time belongs to you, except for that bitch, whoever grabs the spoils will get it!"

Stimulated by the money, the morale of the mercenaries soared, and they walked forward screaming.

Although losing their mounts and relying on their legs to run made them a little uncomfortable, these mercenaries were not ordinary people, and running fast with a heavy load did not put much pressure on them.

Without wasting too much time, the mercenaries approached to within a mile of the hilly camp.

After confirming that the target did not try to escape, they slowed down and regrouped. Under the leadership of Eke, they approached the camp in a battle formation!
