Soul Echo

"teacher, there seems to be someone in front of you..."

Lilian built a pergola in her hands and sat on horseback to look into the distance.

Since she could see it, Zhong Ye naturally couldn't notice it.

The sun hasn't set yet, but it's fairly close to night, and at times like these, if the group is large and doesn't need to hurry, they'll stop early to find a place to camp.

There is a small and medium-sized team in front, and it doesn't seem to be a caravan - because Zhong Ye found a dark sentry hiding in a bush not far away, and saw the team's guard.

"Let's leave them alone, we'll find another place to rest."

Zhong Ye doesn't plan to get involved with that team. Most teams like this belong to nobles, and many times , 'noble' is about equal to 'trouble'.

Traveling to this world, Zhong Ye has only dealt with nobles once, and that is in Resta. After that contact, he regarded nobles as synonymous with trouble.

If Supreme Sun Cult hadn't negotiated with the nobles for him, maybe he wouldn't be able to get the bounty from the nobles smoothly.

When leaving with Lilian, Zhong Ye raised his toes and kicked a stone towards the dark whistle, signaling that he had found him and told him not to fail to appreciate somebody's kindness.

—If there is no warning, that whistle will definitely be busy, accidentally involving them.

Zhong Ye quickly chose a place where they could rest. This place is located halfway up the mountain and is a raised rock.

Standing here, overlooking the surrounding terrain, although the night may be a little cold, they also carry sleeping bags and keep the fire burning at night.

And this is a windward slope, the temperature will not drop too much at night, like the place where the team is located, it is a shady place, and it will definitely be cold at night.

The camp of that team can't be seen here, which saves them trouble.

As it was getting late, Zhong Ye had dinner and was teaching Lilian the strength emission skill of stabbing when suddenly he heard some noises.

He kept quiet and let Lillian follow his instructions.

It's approaching...and it's not light, and it makes a slight movement, not like a small animal.

Zhong Ye stood up, took the rapier from Lillian's hand, and demonstrated for her.

Two people, both armed...

Holding the sword with one hand and the other behind her back, Zhong Ye just pushed the light sword forward, and the sound of breaking wind rang out up.

The two people stopped, but it just sounded that the movements of their hands were not very safe...

"Alas..."

Zhong Ye Suddenly sighed.

Then, a roar resounded through the forest: "Enemy attack!!!"

Lilian turned her head and looked towards the direction of the sound, with a little surprise on her face.

Zhong Ye raised his rapier and pointed to the direction where the two were hiding, coldly said: "I advise you, it's best not to do it, once you do, then we are irreconcilable!"

hearing this, Lillian turned her head and looked at the light sword pointing, barely seeing a vague silhouette in the shadow of the trees, and then she was stunned.

The two who were hiding in the shadows hesitated for a while, but after the hesitation, they still took out their crossbows and aimed them at Zhong Ye and Lillian.

But at this moment, Zhong Ye put his left hand behind his back on his belt, and two cold lights flashed in the air, flying towards the two of them.

Two groaning sounds sounded almost at the same time, and as soon as the two jumped out of the tree, two throwing knives inserted into the wrist they held the crossbow.

After realizing the gap between themselves and the adventurer on the opposite side, the two turned around and ran away without any hesitation.

However, just as they turned around, out of the corner of their eyes caught the adventurer's silhouette - right behind them!

The light sword stabbed, like lightning flashing, pulling out an arc, severing four hamstrings.

pa!

The two fell to the ground at the same time and turned around in horror, only to see that the adventurer had turned around and wiped the blood on the sword edge with the rag that he carried with him. Didn't look at them.

Zhong Ye walked to Lillian's side, inserted the light sword into the scabbard, picked up the big sword and straight sword on the ground, "Lillian, bring your crossbow and Molotov cocktail."

The girl was looking at the two people who fell to the ground, and she couldn't bear to see the panic and helplessness on their faces.

——It's okay to deal with inhuman monsters. If she were to deal with humans, she might not have the courage and determination.

But after hearing Zhong Ye's instructions, Lilian took out the hand crossbow and Molotov cocktail from her luggage without thinking, put them in her pockets on both sides, and followed Zhong Ye down the mountain.

The camp at the foot of the mountain is very lively, the fire is burning, and the shouting is soaring into the sky.

First, a guard noticed a killer attack and made a sound to alert others.

Then the killers stopped hiding and attacked the camp from all directions.

The sound of gunfire and crossbow firing is superimposed, making the collision between the sword and the shield more intense.

The guards and the killer were both killed and injured, and people kept falling, but both eyes and nerves were stimulated by blood, and no one realized it.

A killer stood on a rock not far from the camp, aiming a musket at the camp guards. He was about to pull the trigger when a stone flew from the side and hit his head.

The killer instantly fell into a coma, his legs went weak, and he fell off the stone.

The other killers reacted immediately. Two of the killers who had loaded bullets turned their guns. The others saw their movements and turned back to deal with the camp guards.

Zhong Ye walked out of the darkness with a cold face, the tall body and the big sword on his shoulders shocked the two killers for a moment, but only in that moment, next moment, they pressed the trigger.

Bang! boom!

The two bullets flew out of the muzzle at the same time, but Zhong Ye dodged a second before the bullets flew out of the barrel, causing both shots to miss.

He rushed forward, and before the two killers could raise their weapons, they were stunned by the big sword.

"Ah!"

A scream came from the edge of the battlefield. A killer clutched the wound on his back and touched an arrow.

He turned his head and looked towards the dark woods behind him, and hurriedly reminded: "There is another person in the woods!"

But before he could make a sound, Lillian moved his position holding the crossbow. .

Hearing the shouting, she couldn't help turning her head to look over. The girl's cheeks flushed slightly under the light of the fire in the distance.

Even if the killer warns, how can others have the energy to deal with the enemy hiding in the woods?

Zhong Ye rushed out from behind the killers with a big sword in hand. The killers rushed to the camp and had to deal with Zhong Ye. Being able to complete this mission has become a problem!

——Where did this guy come from?

The same doubts popped up in the minds of the killer and the guards. Zhong Ye was like a wolf rushing into the flock. Every time he made a shot, a killer would fall to the ground and die. I don't know.

In ten seconds, more than a dozen killers lost their combat capability.

"Retreat!"

The leader of the killer realized that the mission had failed, and shouted, calling for his still active subordinates.

The killers who still have the ability to hear this order, if granted amnesty, turn their heads and run away, without even looking at their companions who cannot escape.

"Counterattack! Quickly fight back!"

The dawn of victory has come, the guard leader excitedly issued an order, and he even crossed the line of defense with a long sword, beheading a killer with one sword .

The morale of the bodyguards is high, and they burst out with great power, knocking down and killing the killers in no time.

After seeing that the guards could deal with the remaining killers by themselves, Zhong Ye stopped and told Lillian to stay in the woods and not come out.

She can't see what's going to happen next.

Blood-covered bodyguards overcame the killers, some returning to camp, while others, armed with weapons, walked towards the fallen killers.

The guard leader walked over to Zhong Ye, patted his chest, and grinned: "Thank you, Your Excellency!"

"It's just that they offended me, if they didn't get it right We will do it, and I will not help you." Zhong Ye shook the head, "If you want to thank you, it would be more practical to use money directly."

The guard leader's smile stopped, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "When , of course! It's just that we don't have much money with us, if we can, we'll pay you ten... no, twenty gold coins in the next town!"

Zhong Ye looked at He, lightly snorted: "If you want to hire me, just say it, but you have to say where you are going first. If it is the opposite of my destination, I will not accept the hire."

hearing this, The guard leader's smile faded, his face gloomy and uncertain.

After a moment of contemplation, he lifted the head and said solemnly, "We're going to—

"Venice! "
