Beast Throne

Chapter 345 The Child and the Villain

Little fires flickered, and gradually the sound of dead branches being trampled by boots could be heard.

Now it is easy to tell that the ones following this little pony are not other monsters, but people, about four or five of them, coming straight towards the little pony.It seems that these people are very experienced and good at tracking prey.

There was a sound from the low bushes, but Wu Tong, the flame horse and the silver-white pony raised their heads together and looked towards the tree on the upper left of the bushes.Almost at the same time, a man in green clothes jumped out holding a bow and arrow.

As soon as the man appeared, he drew his bow and pointed it at Wu Tong. This was probably a habitual action to ensure that he could hit the dangerous target in the first place.The noise in the bushes below was just deliberately made by the trackers to attract the target's attention, but it's a pity that neither Wu Tong nor the two horses were ordinary prey, and the trackers' tricks were obviously useless.

The archer is the scout in the team, acting as the eyes of the person.But now this eye is surprised because he is faced with three pairs of eyes staring at him.It's so frustrating, knowing where you're going to be when you're trying to raid someone in advance makes archers feel like idiots.

Then Wu Tong and the two horses looked back at the bushes that made the noise just now, and this time someone really appeared.This is a woman who moves as swiftly as a wild leopard, with wrist knives tied to her hands, which can be used with both hands and feet when moving at high speed, and some oil paint is applied on her face to cover up her original fair skin.

Subconsciously, Wu Tong felt that this woman had the best fighting skills she had ever seen, and her whole body could be used as a weapon.

The woman, like the archer, was stunned for a moment after she appeared chicly, but she didn't expect there to be someone here.However, she was better than the archer. After being startled, the woman immediately hid back in the woods, instead of staying on the tree like the archer.

The woman's movements reminded the archer, and after he took a last look at Wu Tong, he turned and hid in the woods.After a while, the bushes were separated, and a group of five people appeared in front of Wu Tong.The one who walked in the front was still the wild woman, and now she had retracted the wrist knife into the scabbard tied to her arm, and raised her hands to show that she was not hostile.

"It's amazing. You are so brave to meet a lonely adventurer here. And your horse is also amazing. This is the flame horse. It's the first time I've seen it. Really. Pretty. I'm Lillie and you?"

The woman spoke first, and praised Wu Tong and the flame horse first.

"Wu Tong, you are also very good. You have found me so quickly."

Wu Tong took a glance. Besides Lilai and the archer, there were three other people, one woman and two men.This is a five-member team with a very reasonable team composition. There are two melee professionals, Lilai is an assassin-type warrior, and a tall and strong middle-aged man with an exaggerated door-like ax on his back. Great advantage in strength.

In addition, there is a magician. The magicians who can eat well in the Southern Cross Forest are not magicians in the ordinary sense. Their movements are very flexible and they can move and cast spells.The magician in this team didn't wear a robe with reduced mobility, but changed into a leather armor, with a wand that looked like a dead branch stuck in his waist, and a small shield was tied to his left arm.

As for the last person, she was also a woman, and she was even rarer than the previous four combined.There is a red cross on the woman's chest, which means that she was once a priest of the Holy See, but now she is a defector.

Once the priests and priests of the Bright Holy See join the Bright Holy See, they will be under the control of the Holy See for life, but there are always some people who can't stand those rules and choose to leave alone.This situation embarrasses the Holy See of Light, because the Holy See claims that only servants of God are qualified to use Holy Light magic, but the reality is that these defectors can still use Holy Light magic, and after honing, whether it is combat power or healing ability They are much better than those who stay in church and only know how to pray all day long.

The Holy See of Light called these people defectors, and there was a reward for catching them and sending them to the Holy See. Most of the prisons of the Holy See were defectors.

"Is that Wu Tong? The name is a bit hard to pronounce. I don't know what's wrong with you, Wu Tong, who came here alone. Maybe we can help." Li Lai was very enthusiastic, but the eyes of the people behind him were always the same. Walk back and forth on the flame horse and the silver foal.Especially the little pony, it was the prey they had been tracking for a long time, and they were about to succeed, but now something went wrong, and they were more or less dissatisfied.

But life is like this, the goal you spend countless energy pursuing, but the result falls into the arms of others, whether it is wealth, position or woman, all have this characteristic.At this time, either choose to give up, or take it back by force, there is no such thing as fair or unfair.

"You can't help me with my affairs, unless you don't want to leave this forest anymore." Wu Tong replied honestly.Although the strength of these five people is good, if they meet an elf like Muxing, none of them will leave.

"Uh, then we won't ask. But that white pony is a prey we've been tracking for a long time. I wonder if you can return it to us." Lilai saw that the other party didn't appreciate it at all, so she simply told them intention of coming.

The little pony is very spiritual, and immediately became very flustered after hearing Lilai's words, for fear that Wu Tong would hand it over.The little guy made an aggressive sound with his four hooves on the ground, bit Wu Tong's leather armor tightly, and rubbed against Wu Tong's body desperately.

"I know, you came here not long after it came, obviously you didn't come for me."

Long live understanding!Wu Tong's words eased the expression on Lilai's face a lot, but then Wu Tong said something that broke her down.

"If you are walking on the street, a poor kid suddenly grabs your clothes and asks you for help. Behind him is a group of villains who want to kill him. And you find that those people don't seem to be your opponents. Can you save him?" Not rescue?"

Not only Lilai, but the four people behind her froze almost at the same moment.Wu Tong's metaphor made Lilai unable to answer.First of all, Wu Tong restricted the people who chased the children to be villains. If they answered no, it meant that they were the same as villains.

But if they are saved, then Lilai and the others can leave now.

And the most depressing thing was that Wu Tong said clearly that he felt that Lilai and the other five were not his opponents.

"This, it can't be compared like this." Lilai forced a smile.

"Why not, isn't this horse a child? Look at it, it looks like it's asking me for help."

This Lilai couldn't deny it, and she couldn't figure out why this little beast would ask him for help when he was clearly a human being.And judging by its appearance, it is very dependent on and trusts Wu Tong.After meeting the little pony, Lilai tried to please the little pony in every possible way, trying to gain its trust, but was unsuccessful, and Wu Tong let the little pony join him without doing anything.

"Lilai, don't talk nonsense with him! We discovered this first, and we have no reason to give up!"

Seeing that Wu Tong and Lilai were talking endlessly, the magician behind probably thought that Wu Tong wanted to forcibly occupy the little guy, so he couldn't help shouting.The shield-wearing magician had a grumpy temper. Immediately after shouting, he pulled out his wand and cast a spell quickly, as fast as a western gunslinger.

Wu Tong felt his feet go soft, and then he sank slowly. A swamp appeared where he and Lilai were, and was swallowing their boots bit by bit.Obviously the magician is an earth magician, and the mud technique is very effective for fast and large monsters.

"Robar!" Lilai turned her head and shouted, very dissatisfied with his rash attack.But since they have already started, what they are talking about is over.Lilai squatted down and patted the swamp with both hands, then flew out of the swamp, out of the range of the swamp spell.

Wu Tong didn't do anything, because he was very dissatisfied with the sneak attack of the flame horse magician Robert.This steed with four hooves burning with flames let out an angry neigh, stood up on its two hind legs, and then slammed its front hooves down. A fire ring centered on its front hooves and spread outward quickly. Wherever it passed, the swamps disappeared one after another, and turned into solid land again.

There was another thin neigh, and the little white horse, who had always been timid, even jumped a bit like the flame horse, but nothing happened, as if it was just cheering for the flame horse.

This little thing is quite cute. Although he has no skills, he knows to fight others desperately for the flame horse.

"Brother, it's not necessary. It can be seen that you are not short of money, so there is no need to compete with us, is there? Although you are very strong, we are not opponents individually, but the five of us combined will give you a lot of money. It is impossible to win easily. Why fight to the death?"

The big man who spoke with an exaggerated hatchet on his back had a much better temper than the magician unexpectedly.

"Everyone take a step back, how about making friends? I'm Salmon, you already know Lilai. These two are brothers Roach and Robert, and this..." The big man Salmon pointed at the defector from the Holy See. Without saying her name, "You give it back to us, we'll do you a favor, whatever. Whatever you're going to do, it's always easier to have us help."

"I don't want to be troublesome, but it took the initiative to ask me for help, and I have no reason to refuse." Wu Tong was unmoved.

"Anyway, we are all human beings. There is no need to fight to the death for a monster. What do you think? Brother, your argument is not true. Besides, we are not villains who bully children, we are just adventurers. .” Salmon tried to change Wu Tong’s mind.

"I don't think so. For us, the five of you are really villains who bully children. The three of us are different from you from the beginning."

Wu Tong smiled evilly. To him, Xiao Maju was really a child.
