Chapter 813: Convoy

It was a large caravan with more than 500 people. Thousands of six-legged deer-like creatures pulled the piled sleds and moved forward with difficulty in the snow.

In the middle of the team, dozens of majestic dogs shuttled back and forth, organizing the team in an orderly manner.

"Uncle, there is the smell of dragon ahead, and the snow deer are all uneasy."

The girl in fur coat found the leader and looked ahead worriedly.

"This area is the territory of the evil dragon Austin Hodge. It is not surprising to have its smell. We must cross this road as soon as possible and reach the next town, otherwise the longer we stay, the more dangerous it will be!"

An old man with a height of more than three meters, white hair and beard, and full of tendons was controlling the leading sled and said without looking back.

"Wait, there seems to be someone in front!"

The girl screamed, and the old man controlling the sled quickly pulled the reins.

As he slowed down, the huge team stretching for hundreds of meters slowly stopped like a whole.

Horse thieves?

No, there are no horse thieves in this area!

Even those roving bandits wouldn't come to such a remote place. Could they be lost travelers?

The white-haired old man's mind was racing, but he subconsciously raised his guard.

"Tell the boys to prepare to meet the enemy!"

Quietly instructing his granddaughter behind him, the old man touched the hilt of the sword at his side and stared at the gradually clear outline of the human figure in front of him.

As the distance got closer, both sides saw the appearance of the other side. Li Rui was smiling, but the old man felt a chill on his back.

The dress of this group of people was too weird!

Except for the young man in the middle who was dressed in rags (punk rock style), the others looked difficult to deal with!

Stopping a few dozen meters away, the old man shouted vigilantly: "Who are you? Why are you blocking the road?"

"Dear elders, please don't panic. We are adventurers going to Bellocna. We accidentally lost our way in this snowy field. I wonder if we can go to the next town with you?"

Li Rui walked up alone with a chuckle, indicating that he had no hostility.

"Bellokna is thousands of miles away from here. Where did you come from?"

A group of strong young men surrounded the old man and asked hostilely.

Each of them was over two meters tall, with muscular bodies. Even in the snow, they were bare-chested, as if they could not feel the biting cold wind.

At their feet, there were vicious dogs the size of calves, staring at everyone with fierce eyes, showing sharp and ferocious canine teeth, and threatening low roars in their chests.

"Errrrr..."

But Li Rui didn't even look at them, just staring at the old man with a gentle smile.

There was obviously no coercive momentum, but the calm eyes made the old man feel uneasy.

As if if he refused him, something bad would happen.

However, the white-haired girl behind Li Rui frowned in dissatisfaction, looking at the vicious dogs who dared to show their teeth to her, she also showed her little tiger teeth and made a barely detectable low roar in her throat.

"Ah~"

As if they were electrocuted, dozens of vicious dogs tucked their tails together, wailed in fear, and hid behind their masters, frightened by the pressure from the soul bloodline.

Sensing the girl's little movements, the white-haired old man glared back with regret, suppressed the panicked team, and then looked at Li Rui calmly.

"What's your name?"

"Wade Winston Wilson, you can also call me [Knight Rider]."

"This is my companion, [Witch] Lissandra."

"[Assassin] Riven."

"[Empress] Sarah."

"[Lotus Serpent] Cassiopeia."

"[Adventurer] Ezreal."

Every time he introduced a person, the old man's eyebrows would twitch.

The exaggerated crown mask of [Witch] was too eye-catching, and the visible ice crystal magic surging under her feet gave him a great sense of oppression.

The so-called [Assassin] was wearing tough and gorgeous armor, holding a rune giant sword in his hand, and looked like a battlefield meat grinder.

[Empress] was dressed most normally, but her brows revealed a lofty coldness and majesty. This was not the aura that ordinary nobles could cultivate. Could she really be the queen of a certain country?

The last two people made the old man even more confused. Naga? Elves?

The composition of this team is really complicated!

However, when he saw Ezreal's appearance, the old man's vigilance immediately disappeared.

High-level elves!

They even look like the royal family among the elves - moon elves!

Most of these creatures are proud beings with pure hearts, and it is almost impossible for them to associate with evil.

In other words, these adventurers who look very strong are unlikely to attack the caravan!

Thinking of the evil dragon Austin Hodge entrenched in this generation, and the uneasiness of the beasts, the old man had a plan in his mind.

The more strong people in the caravan, the safer it is. If they really encounter that evil dragon, they can't stop its harassment by themselves, and they will definitely suffer heavy losses.

With a team of experts picked up for free, even if we really encounter that big lizard, we can scare it away!

It usually costs a lot to hire these strong men to travel with us, but now it’s not bad to take them along for free!

Nodding, the old man agreed to Li Rui’s request in the indignant eyes of the young man behind him.

But he did not completely relax his vigilance. He arranged an independent sled for Li Rui and others, with the intention of isolating them from the team.

Li Rui and his companions did not despise them. They sat in the spacious sled cab and looked around curiously.

This cab is a bit like an airplane cockpit. It is completely isolated from the wind and snow by glass, and it is warm inside.

The back half of the sled is an open-air cargo box, which is filled with goods covered and tied tightly with huge fur.

"My God, this seems to be a whole piece of fur. There is one in each car. What animal is so big!"

Huang Juncai observed the team through the window and was amazed.

"It should be the Warren snow bear, a very common monster in the north, with a record of a maximum body length of ten meters."

Teacher Hannah also looked around with great interest, observing these strange creatures that she had only seen in books before.

After a few glances, Li Rui opened the door and rushed onto the leading sled like a ghost.

This sled is nearly twice as high as other sleds. There is no warm cab, but a wide open-air platform instead. You can overlook the entire team by turning your head.

Its "truck" was also covered with a layer of fur, but the outline didn't look like normal cargo.

"Old man, thank you for giving us a ride."

He approached the driver's seat like a familiar person. The old man who was whispering something with his granddaughter shuddered in fear, and his white hair and beard stood up, like a lion with all his hair and beard standing up.

I was delayed for a while after get off work, so there are only two chapters today. (;Д`)
