After entering the southern boundary, the climate became much warmer.
The northern region is sparsely populated, and there are no pedestrians along the way. However, after arriving in the southern region, you can encounter some caravans on the road. Although Su Ziyu had a map in his hand, in this era, it was not possible to know the way just by relying on the map. Fortunately, he could meet some caravans on the road and he could ask for directions.
But good luck would not always favor him. On the morning of the sixth day when Su Ziyu went to the royal capital, the horse he obtained from the barbarians collapsed from exhaustion.
Horses in this world have very good endurance and are tall in physique, but they cannot bear the weight of Su Ziyu. The weight of an anti-material sniper rifle is enough. He was also inexperienced. He had no riding experience before, and he did not prepare enough forage on the road. For such a long journey, the horses had to be fed with abundant fodder, eggs, beans and the like, and he was basically fed grass along the way.
Fortunately, this horse has very good endurance, otherwise it would have collapsed long ago.
no way.
Su Ziyu could only let the horse go and continue on his way carrying his things.
There are more towns in the south. Anyway, he still has a lot of money and plans to buy another horse when the time comes.
When he actually walked with his legs, Su Ziyu felt that he was really slow.
Fortunately, that afternoon, he met a large caravan. After paying the price of a silver coin, he successfully followed the caravan on the road. The beast of burden used by the caravan to pull goods is a rhinoceros-like dragon beast. It is huge in size, has rough skin and thick flesh, but has a very gentle personality. The leader is an old man with a white beard wearing a three-cornered hat, a very shrewd-looking old guy.
The most eye-catching thing is the caravan's escort.
All of these guards were tall and burly, at least about two meters tall, and the tallest one was even close to three meters tall.
Su Ziyu thought he was a giant at first.
Later I found out that he was only a half-giant. Giants in this world are generally over six meters tall, and some giants with special bloodline can even grow to twenty or thirty meters tall. Of course, this is still not as good as the giant snake that York talks about. He said that the legendary giant snake is tens of thousands of meters long, and even an adult dragon can swallow it in one bite.
Considering that York liked to brag, Su Ziyu thought that the giant snake was only one or two hundred meters tall at most.
This caravan is also preparing to go to the royal capital.
Su Ziyu was ready to follow them so as not to take a detour and waste more time.
The goods transported by the caravan were special fur products from the north. These people were relatively silent and did not communicate much along the way. They would only look at the perilla with curious eyes from time to time. Although Su Ziyu wore a large cloak, his clothes and weapons were still quite eye-catching.
Night falls.
"Just camp here and rest." The leader of the old man shouted.
soon.
Everyone piled the goods in a circle, some people began to prepare food, and others were responsible for feeding the beasts of burden.
"Did you hear that?"
"There's another war on the border."
"The Black Queen's minions have awakened. Many monsters have come out." The guys were talking while eating.
During this time, Su Ziyu also learned a lot about the world.
There is a clear line between black and white in the chessboard kingdom. The white queen leads the kingdom composed of humans, while the black queen is the master of giants and monsters. The two sides have been at odds for thousands of years. If the White Queen refers to a person rather than a title, then this woman is a special existence who has lived for at least a thousand years.
She is infinitely close to 'god' in the human kingdom.
Su Ziyu listened quietly to other people's chats, trying to collect more information about the world.
In fact, he already has some conjectures, but he still lacks the most critical evidence.
"careful!"
"It seems like something is getting closer!"
Superman's perception gave Su Ziyu a sharper five senses. He suddenly stood up and said to the others: "He seems to be a big guy!"
in the dark.
He seemed to hear a sound like "bah bah bah".
Others couldn't help but stand up when they heard the words, and the guards even picked up their weapons. Some people seemed to have heard the movement, and their expressions suddenly became quite uneasy.
"What the hell?"
"Everyone, be careful!"
The words just fell.
A huge black shadow suddenly swam out, and then huge snake heads appeared in the darkness. Their heads were nearly one meter in diameter, with black snake scales, and a turbid dark yellow in their cold vertical pupils. The bodies of these giant snakes are extremely large, and their body length alone can exceed more than thirty meters.
"ah!"
"It's the scion of the Gnawer! Run!"
"Oh my God!"
"Why are they here?"
The entire caravan suddenly became confused, and the screams of beasts of burden came from the darkness. Those huge dragon beasts seemed unable to resist, and were bitten to death by these giant snakes.
"What happened? Why did so many giant snakes suddenly come out!" Su Ziyu's expression was also extremely solemn.
He picked up his backpack and pulled out the black short blade from his waist. When a giant snake attacked, he suddenly swung the knife and cut a three to four meter long gash directly under its neck. A large amount of smelly snake blood spilled down. , the giant snake twitched its body crazily, and with a flick of its tail, it smashed the guy next to it who had no time to dodge into a puddle of flesh.
What is a Gnawer
Are these giant snakes its descendants
The Black Queen's minions
Didn't it mean they appeared at the border? Why is it here too!
The situation suddenly became very critical.
In the entire caravan, only Su Ziyu and the half-giant were able to pose a threat to these giant snakes. As for the others, they were completely their food.
boom!
The dull sound of gunfire rang out.
A giant snake more than thirty meters long was shot in the head by Su Ziyu.
The vitality of these giant snakes is not too strong. A single shot from an anti-material sniper rifle can smash their heads. However, there are many of these giant snakes. There are at least a dozen by visual inspection. There is also a bigger one on the dragon beast side. Guys, it was the one that killed the dragon beast that was close to the size of an elephant in one bite.
"What should we do now?"
"Withdraw?"
The dull gunfire seemed to attract more giant snakes. Su Ziyu suddenly felt a huge threat. He turned over to dodge, and then saw a giant snake spitting venom from its mouth and spraying venom at his original position.
Sizzle.
The venom seems to be very corrosive.
Su Ziyu's expression was quite hesitant at the moment, and his right hand was touching the pocket on his waist, which contained Jet-03.
Run or fight
Can you escape by running? Can the war be fought
After all, there are still these caravan guards helping to attract firepower. If they wait for them to be wiped out, I will have no chance to fight again.
Some want to run away, some are fighting.
The scene was quite chaotic.
People kept being swallowed by giant snakes in the darkness. There were originally more than a hundred people in this caravan, but now only a few dozen could be seen.
