BXBX NOVEL Chapter 349: 282: The Second Human Race Trial Participant!
At their feet lay about a dozen corpses hugging each other in desperate resistance.
Every one of them had been torn apart by horses, dying a gruesome death.
Zhao Gou stood in front of a few surrendered mercenaries and said, “Out of consideration that we are all of the Human Race, tell me the real identity of the human riding the sub-dragon, otherwise…”
“Pah!”
A mercenary spat out: “Go to hell, you damnable Fallen One…”
“Thud!”
Before he could finish his sentence, he got stabbed in the back by a soldier standing next to him.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
He fell to the ground, coughing violently, with bright red blood constantly gushing out of his mouth.
This scene scared a few people standing nearby, causing them to shudder.
“Hehehe…”
Zhao Gou sneered coldly, “He refused to drink a toast and must suffer the punishment instead. Don’t think I don’t dare to kill, my Cave Beastmen have already set up a trap in the wilderness, that kid won’t escape from the palm of our hands!”
“Why should you die for him?”
“You, you have to promise us one thing!” Brother Liang suddenly said.
Zhao Gou’s eyes lit up, “What is it?”
“You have to promise us first.”
“No problem.”
“After, after I tell you, you, you must let us go,”
“Well…” Zhao Gou stroked his chin, “I promise you, as long as you reveal the kid’s real identity and where he is going, we will not lay a finger on you.”
“Alright, okay…”
Brother Liang gulped, “We, we don’t know his real identity, but we guess he’s probably a student from some vocational university in the country here for training, because he’s just too young, and he seems to hate evil… erm…”
He glanced towards the direction of the horse carriage, then continued, “And, and, he seemed to have lost his way, even asked us for directions. The direction he took when he left seemed to be southeast, where the Splendid Forest crosses the border, it looks like he’s planning to cross the Splendid Forest.”
“Is that so…”
Brother Liang quickly added, “We, we’ve told you everything we know. Can, can we go now?”
Zhao Gou shrugged, “No problem, off you go.”
Brother Liang and two other mercenaries stood up shakily, saw that Zhao Gou and the rest of the Fallen Ones didn’t make a move, and then ran for their lives.
“Brother Gou, are we really letting them go?” A soldier asked in surprise.
“How dare you question my order?”
Zhao Gou glared at him, “I promised him that we Beast Desires wouldn’t kill him, and we surely will not kill him!”
“Huh?”
“But there seems to be only five of us Beast Desires here…”
The soldier’s eyes lit up, and he chuckled, “Hehehe, Brother Gou, I get it now.”
He approached a captain of the Hyena Men cavalry, whispered something to him.
The bulky Hyena Man nodded immediately, waved his hand fiercely, and a dozen Hyena Men cavalrymen voiced their agreement, and pounced towards Brother Liang and the other two fleeing mercenaries.
“Ah!”
“Thud!”
In less than ten seconds, the three of them were caught up by the Hyena Men cavalry and hacked to death!
Meanwhile, Zhao Gou arrived at the center of the formation where Lord Kaiyal and Her Highness Freya were standing in front of a corroded steel horse carriage.
The prison carriage made of fine steel had been corrosion and only seven or eight iron rods were left standing on the carriage, full of dents and wounds.
Notably, a dozen charred corpses on the carriage gave off a foul stench.
Zhao Gou twitched, but still managed to say, “Lord Kaiyal, Her Highness Freya!”
Kaiyal’s tone was noticeably simmering with anger, “Zhao Gou, did you find out anything?”
Zhao Gou said, “Lord Kaiyal, according to those guys, the human sub-dragon knight has fled towards the Splendid Forest.”
“Splendid Forest? The boundary between us and the humans’ territory… once he crosses the Splendid Forest, he can safely return to the human territory.”
Kaiyal’s gaze flickered with a cold murderous intent, “Grey Bone!”
“Lord Kaiyal, I am here!”
A towering Hyena Man stepped forward and said respectfully.
“I will be ahead of you, following Freya. You lead the cavalry behind us, and catch up with us as quickly as possible.”
“Your Highness Freya, you see…”
“That’s fine.”
At this moment, a Hyena Man cavalryman rushed from a distant place, shouting at the same time, “Lord Kaiyal!”
“Lord Kaiyal!”
The messenger quickly approached Kaiyal and reported, “The great priest has sent people after the human sub-dragon knight, he requested that you rendezvous with them as quickly as possible!”
Kaiyal was puzzled, “Why would my grandfather act personally?”
The messenger said, “We found another human challenger in the Splendid Forest, who is currently being besieged by the members of the Evil Bone Jackal tribe!”
“The grand priest has ordered that you must not let these two human challengers join up.”
“Another one?”
“Who discovered him?” Freya suddenly asked.
“It was Lord Oakes, the Canine Shaman of the Beastman Empire!”
“Oakes…”
Freya’s eyes suddenly brightened. “Oakes is famed as the brightest mind among the younger generation of our race. I’m surprised he has caught up to a human challenger so quickly.”
“Kayal, I cannot lose to him. We must catch this Sub-dragon Knight of the Human Race at the fastest speed possible.”
“Don’t worry, Your Highness Freya,” Kayal immediately replied. “I will definitely help you catch this man!”
“Let’s go!”
Soon, two bipedal dragons soared through the skies at top speed, heading towards the Splendid Forest.
…
“Kill!”
“Shoot! Shoot all together!”
In the vast Wind-Speaking Prairie, dozens of hyena man cavalry riding on wolves meandered, constantly aiming and shooting their sharp arrows into the sky.
The arrows came flying, but they could only spark off Jerry’s tough dragon-scale skin, they couldn’t hurt him at all.
“Roar!”
Even so, the harassment from hundreds of ants such, was enough to flare up Jerry’s temper. He continued spewing venom in an attempt to kill these dogman cavalrymen.
Soon, another group of hyena men surrounded them.
This time, instead of killing, they split into several groups continuously harassing with bows and arrows and hand axes, which was thoroughly annoying.
“Something’s not right…”
Watching these groups of hyena cavalrymen, Zheng Cheng stopped Jerry from continuing to spew his dragon breath.
“Is it bait? Or these hyena men are just tasked to stall me while waiting for reinforcements?”
Zheng Cheng recalled what Zhu Senlin said yesterday. The majority of the cave beastmen were rallying. There surely must be many strong fighters amongst them.
Being discovered was inevitable.
“Not all of the beastmen are muscle headed…especially these hyena men!”
Zheng Cheng redirected a vast range using the Central Life Radar Monitoring Technique.
He also discovered that there was an oversized fan-shaped encirclement, with him at the center.
Dozens of hyena men cavalry were rushing in his direction.
Obviously, he was their target.
Looking at the running hyena men on the ground, Zheng Cheng didn’t feel like playing their game anymore. He patted Jerry on the head and they took to the sky.
Thanks to Jerry’s flying height and speed, along with the map guidance from the Central Life Radar Monitoring Technique’s BUG class, Zheng Cheng broke through the encirclement just as it was about completed.
Hundreds, if not thousands of hyena men cavalry behind him, found nothing but air.
Tusks looked at the vast prairie and slowly shook his head.
This man was always able to escape before the encirclement was completed. He must have a keen reconnaissance ability.
“What a pity, human challenger. No matter how you have a flying pet and can detect our movements, but…you can’t run!”
“He has deviated from the direction of the human challenger surrounded by the Evil Bone Jackal tribe. Next, We just need to…”
He suddenly plucked the badge from his chest and started chanting a spell.
Soon, with the flicker of a ray of light, a seven to eight meters tall two-headed giant wolf, covered in a mix of black and yellow fur, appeared before him!
“Fenrir Kur, find the damn human’s location!”
Under Tusks’ command, the giant wolf Fenrir Kur immediately raised his head, carefully sniffing the scent in the air.
A few moments later, his two pairs of fierce eyes flashed with greedy light.
“Howl…!”
“What? You’re saying that the Sub-dragon Knight’s Sub-dragon has a very pure aura and might be a first-generation sub-dragon beast!”
“Hahaha,” Tusks said excitedly. “Summon all the Hyena man knights to find that damned Sub-dragon Knight!”
“This time, I shall step in personally!”
“Push it over!”
With the command, his tribesmen pushed over more than a dozen iron cages, confining more than a dozen towering, strong, wounded seat wolves with red eyes.
He chanted a spell, and soon a faint red light enveloped these few giant wolves.
After a few breaths, these seemingly ill-conditioned giant wolves all began to tremble, growling softly.
“Set them free!”
Dozens of Seat wolves were released, staring fiercely at the hyena men around them.
“Go! My children! Chase after that human Sub-dragon Knight! Don’t let him out of your sight!”
“Howl…”
The dozens of red-eyed Seat wolves howled one after the other, chasing the scent at a frightening speed.
After doing all these, the high priest also got on the back of the two-headed giant wolf and commanded.
“Fenrir Kur, go after them!”
“Howl…”
“Tell the Bipedal Flying Dragon Squadron to block the northern region of the Splendid Forest. Kill any humans on sight!”
“Yes! High Priest!”
