Chapter Nine Eighteen: The Crystal Chaser
After chatting with the other orcs for a while, Marshall returned to Chun and saw him sitting by the campfire with dull eyes, motionless.
Marshall thought he was used to being stupid, so he didn't doubt it too much. He sat down next to him carelessly and yawned immediately.
"It's getting late, let's go back to the tent?" Marshall asked for Chun's opinion, but all he received was silence.
Chun didn't look at him, just kept staring at the grass at his feet.
"Let's go, let's go!" Marshall directly moved his hands to pull Chun's strong body, "Go to sleep, it's been a tiring day today!"
"Well..." Chun sniffed, stood up in confusion, and followed her into the tent obediently.
Marshall discovered that not long after he went out, the body language of the wolf-orc became extremely decadent.
Could it be that something happened between him and William after he left?
Marshall was too embarrassed to ask, so he could only wrap himself in the blanket and stare straight at Chun as he took off his coat and lay down under the quilt.
"Why, can't you sleep?" Marshall chuckled, "What's on your mind? Did Uncle William say something to you? Threaten you? Or something like that? Then I'll go to his place tomorrow to seek justice for you."
"It's okay." Chun's voice was hoarse, and at the same time, he sniffed again.
Can orcs also catch colds? Marshall snickered secretly. Although he was covered in thick fur, he couldn't resist small germs.
"Hey~" Marshall took out the crystal spore from his arms - at this time, a dreamy and soft blue-purple glow was emitted in the dark tent, "I want to make it into a beautiful bracelet."
Chun said nothing.
"Then give it to you." Marshall said playfully and cunningly, as if talking to himself, "Although you look silly and naive."
Marshall used the crystal spores on his hand to shine on Chun's thick wrist stretched out between the blankets: "But you are not bad, you are very comfortable to sleep, hehe~"
"How did Uncle William bully you? Tell me, I'll argue with him."
Chun still didn't speak.
"Or do you really have a cold?" Marshall suddenly felt confused, "No way, you will catch a cold if you stay next to the campfire? Let me feel it."
Marshall opened his quilt and roughly pulled off the big blanket on Chun. She moved her buttocks and actively pushed her body into the arms of the wolf orc.
The two foreheads touched each other, one was bald and the other was hairy.
Chun didn't resist, lying down like a zombie.
"Hey? It's not hot either?" Marshall pouted, "That's really weird."
Marshall covered himself with a spring blanket. Well, he included himself in it.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, why not sleep in warm and soft arms?
"Comfortable..." Marshall was like a mouse, leaning next to Chun greedily and happily, with a little smile on his lips.
She stretched out her hand and hugged the big, unhappy wolf.
At first, this huge body suddenly became stiff and tense, but eventually it gradually relaxed.
"Go to sleep." Marshall's soft lips gently touched Chun's ear, "Don't think too much, you will have nightmares at night."
Chun opened his eyes, his confused and tired eyes fell on the little girl's body, and he let out a silent breath from the moist tip of his nose.
Immediately, he closed his eyes.
...
"Drive! Drive! Hurry up, Crystal Spore Lake is just ahead!"
It was a sleepless night.
The galloping horse's hooves stepped down hard, leaving small pits on the ground, splashing wet and cold soil.
There was a man sitting on a horse with a golden sword, with cloths of different colors wrapped around his head, holding a magic lamp in his hand, waving it to disperse the darkness. From the outside, they looked no different from the robbers.
The galloping horses were also tied with large and small baggage, bags, tools for salvaging crystal spores, and of course, there were also all kinds of weapons.
They are crystal chasers, they are a group of jackals who come upon the scent, working day and night just to get a piece of the pie.
And this piece of cake was enough for them to spend a lot of money.
The leading man waved his riding crop, and as he watched Crystal Spore Lake getting closer and closer to his position, he felt more and more happy in his heart.
"Boss, other crystal chasing teams have also arrived, look!" Another man following the leader pointed at the team of crystal chasing people not far away from him, who were also running fast, overtaking Dongdong.
The sound of horse hooves said, "What should we do? The Crystal Spore Lake looks very big this time...the magic mist floating on it is also very thick..."
"Don't act rashly yet." The leader frowned slightly and said, "We'll see when the time comes. If there are casualties now, we won't be able to compete with the crystal-chasing team that will come later. Let's go on our way first. There may be a team that arrives before us.
Maybe."
One kilometer, half a kilometer, five hundred meters...
People! People! Bonfires! More than one!
How is this possible! And the carriage...
Could it be a caravan?
A hint of greed flashed in the leader's eyes, and he couldn't help but lick his wind-dried lips.
"Boss, what should we do? It's impossible...why did they arrive before us?" The younger brother looked increasingly anxious.
"Haha... don't worry. They seem to be a small caravan, they just have better luck." He raised his eyes, and simple magic patterns spread out from the depths of his pupils like petals.
He shouted lowly:
【Remote viewing!】
In the leader's sight, the situation around the caravan was rapidly magnifying, and he soon saw the whole picture!
Orcs... how is that possible! So many orcs! All of them are extremely strong and brave!
They are keeping vigil to prevent outsiders from interfering with their goods...
These orcs would listen to a human... The sword in his hand... looked extraordinary, extremely extraordinary!
He raised his sword!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The vegetation suddenly exploded, and dazzling golden flashes exploded together with the splashing sand!
He is approaching me! How is this possible...
William stepped heavily on his feet, and magic power surged around him. Every time he took a step, blazing flames would explode around him, and his body would rush forward!
He has a stern look on his face, and with every step he takes, a large piece of the magic pattern on his body will extend!
Three magic patterns...more than three magic patterns...four magic patterns magic knight...he is not a magic knight! A normal magic knight should not appear in the [Land of Desire].
Who is he?
I saw this figure like an illusory ghost, attacking in front of the leader in an instant!
A strong gust of wind slapped him down, causing the Pegasus under his crotch to roar suddenly, uncontrollably raising its hooves and jumping up!
【Calm down!】
The leader shouted loudly, and suddenly slapped down his palms. The light yellow magic trickle in the palms flowed into the horse's back like a needle, and the frightened horse under the crotch stopped abruptly, and the jumping hooves slammed to the ground.
Smash it down!
"Excuse me, who are you?" the leader bravely said loudly.
This man is very strong... far beyond his expectations!
"You don't have to know who I am." William yawned lazily, glanced sideways at the man in the turban, and said jokingly, "Give me a promise."
"What promise?" The leader will not agree to give up all the crystal spores in the crystal spores lake, let alone the "wolves" behind him. If he agrees, no matter how strong he is, he will be torn apart immediately.
.
"Don't touch our people, our goods, and everything we have. We won't care about the rest. We are just lucky enough to pass through this place. We will leave in less than a day."
"Okay." The leader breathed a sigh of relief.
Zheng!
Like a ferocious battle angel, before the leader could recover, an extremely sharp sword light was pressed under his throat!
A golden sword mark was deeply engraved in the air, and the trembling rune magic power in it was about to solidify, as if if it were touched, his fingers would be cut off immediately!
"Well..." The man swallowed and broke into a cold sweat.
The leader was stunned for a moment, and his body gradually became stiff. He only felt that streams of empty lead liquid were being injected into his limbs!
He boldly moved his eyes downward and saw the golden sword body covered with complex magic patterns, as well as the dazzling light on the tip of the sword that flashed with murderous intent!
"Promise me again." William put away his original casualness, and his tone instantly rose to an outrageous level.
The leader was almost suffocated by this murderous aura.
"well!"
William just nodded, raised his feet slightly, and then gently tapped down, and the pale yellow six-pointed star flashed past.
Bang! The sand exploded and scattered dust all over the sky!
William's figure has disappeared without a trace.
He wants to tell all crystal chasers tonight that Marshall's team is not someone to be trifled with.
Chapter completed!
