Chapter 44 - Chapter 23 Advance to the Northern Continent

Mei looked in surprise at the resurrected Black Sheep in front of her, her hand holding the sword not daring to relax at all. Three knights looked at the man in front of them who was planning to resist, while the Dragon Knight, who was also a member of the Black Sheep, was still standing on his gun behind him, while the Swordsman had disarmed and crossed his hands on his chest, sitting cross legged on the ground.

Mei rushed forward, her eyes filled with flames of revenge.

One of the Black Sheep Knights looked at the rushing Mei and said, "Do you still have the ability to defeat me now?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Mei ignored her opponent's words.

I saw the Black Sheep Knight sweep his gun horizontally, then pull the Plum Bullets aside and fall to the ground. The knight said coldly, "If you want to die, there's no need to rush. It's definitely your turn."

Mei struggled to support herself on the ground with her sword, but her body couldn't stand up. His eyes were still fixed on the Black Sheep Knight and he said, "There is too much hatred between us. I have been waiting for it since I knew you were not completely destroyed. Finally, it has given me the opportunity to seek revenge."

"With such a body?" The knight sneered as he looked at Mei on the ground, desperately trying to stand up. "In the future, remember to stand up straight and speak loudly, instead of sitting on the ground unsightly."

Her bent feet couldn't support her heavy body, and Mei fell back to the ground. The people behind them also dare not act recklessly, after all, the character in front of them is not a black sword, but a legendary horror. The descendants of the Fire Clan did not act arbitrarily until they were clear about the beginning and end of the matter.

"Damn it!" Mei, who didn't know where the strength came from, pounded her own legs hard. On the other hand, she still held onto Shizhong Sword II tightly, but her eyes were filled with a vague sense of anger. Mei was already a bit confused about the existence of reality and fantasy. He just shouted hysterically, "I don't want to lose to you guys at all! I don't want to lose to that damn bastard either!"

The three Black Sheep Knights who had originally turned around and planned to leave turned around again. One of them drove his horse forward and took off his helmet. With a forceful throw, the helmet thrown into Mei's arms pushed the person who had lost his strength back, and his hand also left the weapon he had been holding onto tightly.

"'Ye '!' 'Ye! How could you...' Two mercenaries, also from the small town of Starr, unconsciously shouted, clearly recognizing the Black Sheep Knight.

"Mei, I don't allow you to say that about trees!" The Black Sheep Knight was surprised by a woman. Although she had short hair, she half covered her face and only revealed the right half of her face.

The angry expression is as pretty as it is said, and such a beauty is difficult to match with the image of just killing someone, let alone associate with the term 'black sheep'. But judging from the content of the discourse, it is not difficult to guess the relationship between them.

Mei's gaze refocused on the acquaintance in front of her, but her expression showed more incomprehension. "What are you doing in front of me, the traitor who escaped from Starry Town with the tree! You also joined the Black Sheep who destroyed our parents. What are you and the tree thinking in their minds?"

Ye drove her horse one or two steps ahead of Mei, with an angry expression and tightly closed lips. She confronted Mei like this, and the war between their eyes grew stronger and stronger. Matsudaira and Sakura on the side were afraid that Ye would take out Mei with just one shot, and they had no ability to stop Ye's actions.

"Don't cause any more trouble! We're just coming back to teach a group of arrogant guys a lesson. They're not within our target, Ye," said a Black Sheep Knight behind us.

"Morphine~!" The horse under the leaf suddenly stood up and kicked forward with its raised forelimbs, accurately hitting Mei's chin.

People who have almost lost their ability to move are unable to react to this sudden blow, and the light disappears into their pupils and consciousness. The sound in their ears also gradually stops.

"Ye! What are you doing!" As he loosened his grip on the sword handle and planned to charge forward, he met Ye's right eye and stopped. Because of the trials of these battles, he had a clearer understanding of what kind of realm the person in front of him had reached. Perhaps he had forgotten the power of the Black Sheep in his memory, but the person in front of him brought the term terror to life.

Ye set aside his gaze at Song, and the tip of his gun lifted the helmet he had thrown to the ground. The horse turned around, and Ye held onto his helmet with both hands, ready to put it on. She shook her head and the hair covering the left half of her face was thrown away, revealing a face disfigured by fire.

Ye turned around and looked at Song, his disgusting left face muscles shaking. "Song, tell that guy who fell to the ground that if he wants to die, as long as he finds us, I will give him a free ticket to hell." With both hands down, he put on his helmet and put it back on his head.

The three knights held the reins and with a gentle shake, the three horses started running together like one. It is impossible to hear three horses running at the same time from the sound of their hooves, unless someone can determine the number of horses by how loud they are.

At the back, the Dragon Knight still stood on the spear, his knees slightly bent and leaped into the air. The spear and his figure disappeared from everyone's sight at the same time.

The swordsman maintained a cross legged position on the ground, and soon a blanket like object emerged from the ground to lift his body into the air. He flew away on the blanket towards the direction where the Black Sheep Knight had left.

Only a bunch of shocked people were left at the scene.

"What's going on?" The old man was the first to react.

Everyone just looks at me, I look at you, no one can make a decision. On the contrary, Song walked towards the corpse that used to be Jia Lu and looked at the Chaos Divine Sword Caos stuck on the ground.

Song made a helpless gesture and said, "It's useless to say anything now. Once the matter is resolved, don't think too much. We have finished recasting the Stone Sword. Dilarosha, if you bring the Divine Sword back, your work will be completed." After speaking, Song reached out to the hilt of the Divine Sword.

Dilarosha quickly shouted, "Don't..." Song had already grasped the hilt of his sword.

The Chaos Sword released a strange light that enveloped Song's body. In the light, Song's eyes became strange. He pulled out his divine sword and raised it high, laughing loudly, "Hahaha! I want a woman! I want treasure!"

Just as everyone was affected by the series of events that happened one after another and was so surprised that she didn't know how to handle it, Sakura flew towards the back of Matsudaira's head and said, "Fool! Are these rotten things all you have in your corrupt mind?"

Song was kicked by Sakura and the divine sword was thrown out of his hand. He stroked his painful back of the head and turned around, intending to have a verbal battle with Sakura. But when he saw the expressions of distrust from the crowd, he quickly defended himself, "I was just controlled by a divine sword to do that!"

Ninia glanced askance at Song. "The divine sword is just an amplification of one's inner thoughts."

"Hey! That..." Song took a step forward and everyone cooperated as they took a step back, their eyes still casting doubt.

Song said helplessly, "Don't do this..." At the same time, he took a step forward, but everyone still took a step back.

Song quickly shouted, "Hey! What do you mean by this!" and ran towards the crowd.

Watching the figure of Song running towards him, everyone scattered in a playful and noisy manner, and no one wanted to approach the anxious Song. On the side, Mei was still lying on the ground, with no one paying attention to him

The eyes slightly opened, and the hazy scene was a room that seemed similar, bringing an inexplicable sense of security. A faint noise came from the ears, and the heavy eyelids closed again.

"Drink, drink!"

"Good tolerance! Here's another plate for you."

"The 21st Sakura, performed by standing upside down and drinking all the wine in one breath."

"What are you doing outside?" The thoughts in her heart made Mei feel the urge to get up.

Open your eyes, what you are in is the room where you rested when you arrived at Dajiangshan before. Headache and physical fatigue have not fully recovered yet. After finally recasting the sword, he immediately fought against Jia Lu in a few moves. However, being stimulated like Ye, his body exceeded the normal limit of exercise. Now is the time to pay the price of exceeding limits.

Struggling out of bed, every step brought a tingling pain. However, after walking for a short distance, I became accustomed to the stinging feeling and didn't work that hard anymore. Opening the familiar door, what caught the eye was the expected scene of a large group of people having a banquet. I can't help but think in my mind, do people living in the mountains and rivers hold banquets all day without work?

"Mei, you're up! Not bad, this time you've been lying down shorter than the last time." Song looked at Mei standing at the door and said, but the wine plate in his hand never left.

Mei walked slowly forward step by step and said, "You guys, no matter how hard you work, it's all my responsibility."

"Hahaha! Mei, there is an ancient saying in the East: 'There is a long way to go.' Practice more today and increase your chances of survival tomorrow, and you will be stronger yourself. Don't worry about this benefit. Hahaha!" The old man stood behind Mei and said, laughing hard as he slapped her back.

The person who was still weak couldn't resist the old man's "friendly" blow. Mei threw herself to the ground without any resistance. The old man looked at Mei lying on the ground and smiled, "My body hasn't fully recovered yet! That's also right. Hahaha."

A friendly female descendant of the Fire Clan helped the person lying on the ground. Mei, who was forcefully pulled up, stumbled and fell into the arms of the kind-hearted person. The warm and gentle sensation on her face made Mei take a big step back with the strength she had somehow developed, but the ending was just jumping into someone else's arms.

Her originally weak and pale face instantly turned red. Faced with two women who were full of arrogance and ridicule, Mei didn't know what to do and forgot to leave the beauty's arms. Two women each tightly hooked Mei's hands and pulled him to the huge fire. The feeling emanating from her arms left Mei at a loss.

A man disguised a smile with his fierce face, which not only did not make people feel uncomfortable, but also had a unique sense of familiarity in it. The wine plate in front of me was filled with fragrant and good wine. "Here, I offer you a toast, the new warrior."

Ninia said on the side, "It's not good for weak people to drink, 'Rudder Ping'."

The old man also came to the fire. "It's okay, it's okay. A day like this without alcohol to cheer it up will just seem boring. Let's drink a plate at once, and let's just dip a little bit of Mei at will!"

"Old man, that's great!" "Come on, come on, I'll also offer a plate of wine to the new warrior." "Line up, you have no reason to drink." The people from all over the country were in the midst of the noise, and Mei offered a plate of wine. ".

Although Mei only touched a little alone, she also drank up five plates of fine wine in a careless manner. At the moment when it was supposed to be the appearance of Mingyue Meiyi, everyone stirred up the atmosphere of the banquet to its climax. Although there are fewer seductive clothes to boost the fun, there is still a lot of lively atmosphere among everyone.

At the moment when the sun was high, Mei finally got up from her headache and sore body. He is the only one staying in the same room. Walking outdoors, there were not many people around the noisy square last night today. I only saw the old man practicing swordsmanship with Sakura and Matsu.

Sakura and Matsu each attacked the unarmed old man with their swords in a certain degree, only to see the old man blocking the attack from the shadow of the fist with one left and one right swing.

Sakura and Matsuki took a step back and reorganized their attack, thrusting head-on at the old man. Holding a sword between their fingers, Sakuramatsu and his partner made a semicircle and shifted up and down, causing them to spin around and lose their center of gravity. As the two of them were about to move forward, the old man took a big step back and pointed to Mei's position.

"Ah! Mei, you're awake." Sakura saw Mei's figure and returned her sword to its scabbard, walking over.

Mei looked at the old man with a silent smile and approached him, asking, "Old man, why did you play with the two little ones? If you accidentally hurt yourself, what should you do?"

"Hahaha! It's not a big deal, it's just for fun. We didn't take each other seriously, so we won't hurt each other. Besides, it's good to practice with young people. They are all very malleable in the future."

Mei looked at the somewhat desolate environment and asked, "Where are the others?"

"Everyone else went to the mountain to practice separately." "Yes! We were not familiar with the mountain environment before practicing with the old man."

"Mmm~! And what about Dilarosa?"

"He said that the items he brought to suppress the attributes of the Divine Sword could not be maintained for too long. After solving the problem, he rushed back to their temple." Sakura replied.

"Boss, where are we going next?" Song asked at this moment

"Are you leaving?" The voice coming from behind was from Ninia.

Mei nodded and said, "Hmm! I think I've solved my own problem, so let's go to Paulus City and take a look."

"What are you doing running to Paulus City?" Sakura asked in confusion.

"I promised the Kuta Elder to help pay attention to the whereabouts of the Dwarves. Now that I know it's in the city of Paulus and the Dwarves are not in danger for the time being, why not go and investigate the situation in the city first. Perhaps relying solely on the power of the Fire Lizard Clan cannot rescue the Dwarves, so it's necessary to find more helpers. Moreover, the entire Fire Lizard Clan's movement will only cause unrest in the mainland."

Ninia asked, "Is that so? When will you depart?"

"Let's do it today! As long as your body is still active, you shouldn't waste time in bed. What about you? Ninia, should we go together?"

Ninia shook her head and said, "I'll still stay in Dajiangshan. When we left the library together, we were going to stay in Dajiangshan."

"Haha! Don't worry, Mei. If you need any help, let me know. The descendants of the Fire Clan are very willing to help. Ninia should stay in the Great Jiangshan, which was also what I promised her parents back then." The old man's bold smile was beyond refutation.

Mei nodded. "Hmm! Let's go then. Let's go, Sakura and Matsu."

After leaving the mountains and rivers, Mei and his group returned to the original number of people, and the three of them headed towards the northern trade route, preparing to explore the enemy camp in the city of Paulus.

Three or two small wild beasts occasionally appeared along the way to harass. However, that kind of strength has become a source of food for the current Mei, Sakura, and Songshou. Mei Pei carried the recast Shizhong Sword II, while Sakuramatsu and his companions used the fine swords given by the old man.

They are not sure how strong they are now, they can only talk about big cities and then go to professional unions to explore!

After walking for more than ten days, we should have already entered the sphere of influence of the 28 cities in Beilu, with only endless forests and countless fallen leaves on the road.

As autumn approaches its end, the harsh winter gradually approaches. The amount of dry food provided by the small town and countryside on the way has also reached its limit. In such a situation, besides being lucky enough to encounter another place where food can be supplied, there are wild beasts running to their eyes and finding their own way out.

"Da da da da..." Countless hooves echoed. The three of them were happy because it represented the presence of people nearby, which was why there was the sound of horses. Otherwise, wild horses can also be used as food or as a means of transportation by catching three or four more horses. No matter what options are available, they all have a great ending.

The forest avenue rushed past many knights in green armor, and one could vaguely hear such conversations. After organizing, the conversation is roughly as follows: "Which fool suggested going out to fight in the wilderness!" "No one objected! Who knew he would die faster, it's unclear." "Don't mention it! Try to concentrate as much as possible, so you won't be solved because you're alone! Hurry up! If it's any slower, he'll catch up!"

"Oh my goodness! Where's a knight dressed like a turtle? It looks a bit ugly to him," said Song casually by the roadside.

Not a small voice, as long as someone in the knights has better ears, they should be able to hear loose words. However, they seemed to be avoiding something and didn't pay much attention to Song's cold words.

The horses galloping by the knights filled the entire road' One of the rules that travelers on the mainland must abide by is' no blocking the way ', because only bandits can block the way. Avoiding unnecessary misunderstandings is an important issue. The three people who flashed aside for this reason met as they watched the knights leave.

"What are they afraid of?"

I don't know

"What should we do now?"

"In short, there should be a town not far ahead. Rest there and determine the direction for the next step!"

"Oh!" "Oh!"

Three people resumed their journey and saw a man walking nearby. With a relaxed posture and a leisurely mood whistling, it's hard to imagine him being the man who scared the previous knights.

"Ah! It's you!"

"It's not me!"

This strange conversation appeared between Mei and the man. It is obvious that Mei is also very afraid of seeing the other party, as she can detect from Mei's desperate attempt to hide behind Sakura and Matsu.

Song looked at Mei's strange movements and only asked the man, "Hey! Who are you?"

Mei gently loosened her sleeves and warned him softly, "Don't talk to him like that, he's Jess."

Upon hearing this, Song shouted, "What! Jess! That lascivious and delicious Seven Warriors!" Only when he finished speaking did he realize it was terrible.

"Yes! I am indeed lascivious and delicious!" Jess's smiling face became even more brilliant. No one could guess what his true thoughts were, but it was not difficult to guess what he would do next.

With a sudden punch and a turn, Song had already fallen to the ground and looked at the man who had knocked him down with his surprised expression. The following eighteen consecutive strikes smoothly made Song dizzy, of course, before that, the background music was inevitably howling.

"Mei, long time no see."

"Hehe, Jess, long time no see."

"Who are these two little ghosts?"

"They are Sakura and Matsu, both orphans taken in by the teacher."

"Oh~! This way! Eh! That's not... that's not... ah! Sword in the Stone!" Jess glanced at the weapon on Mei's waist.

Mei nodded and said, "Hmm! This is the new Shizhong Sword, Shizhong Sword II. This time, the teacher asked me to come out and forge a new sword."

"Oh~! That's it! Come to the city for a visit, I'll entertain you. And by the way, let me take a good look at the new stone sword."

Mei said somewhat troubled, "But..."

"But!" In Jess's strong tone, Mei's words were: "... it's okay..."

"Tell me earlier if you have nothing to do. If it were a disappointment, it would hurt me a lot. Oh! By the way, wait a moment, I'll drive those little ghosts back to the city first, otherwise no one knows where they're going. Don't run away." The smile disappeared in an instant, and there was only a black dot on their back.

Sakura looked at her windy figure and sighed, "Mei, he's just Jess."

"Ah~! He's Jess." The feeling of powerlessness has eroded my soul. Faced with one or two stimuli, even the strongest person would have such helplessness. Not to mention facing legendary figures who are many times stronger than oneself.

The two of them looked at Song lying on the ground, and their dizzy expressions and footprints proved one thing. It was indeed not appropriate to speak ill of him in front of others. Especially when that person is Jess.

In no time, the sound of hooves reappeared, but this time with some cries for help. Mei Ying and her companions quickly pulled the pine aside to avoid being trampled on. The green knights galloping past like refugees, followed closely by Jess.

The man who stopped looked at Mei and Sakura, his innocent smile really fooled those who didn't know, but the two victims under Jess wouldn't think so.

"Let's go! Let's go to Platinum City. Oh! Let me handle the guy I knocked down!" Mei thought she heard it wrong in an instant, but after seeing Jess's handling, he sighed.

Jess pulled up his loose right foot and dragged him forward like this. Although it wasn't dragging him at such a fast speed, when he reached the city that was not yet in sight, that distance was probably enough to make Song wake up and faint three more times. However, even if Song can't resist fainting, according to his personality, he is definitely cursing loudly, and then according to Jess's personality, he is definitely giving him a few more kicks

"Ah~I'll carry him on my back," Mei said weakly.

Jess rubbed the back of his head and smiled, "That's it! I'm really sorry, I need you to handle the cuddle I poked. Hahaha!"

"It's not the first time..." Mei whispered in her mouth, and when he was alert that Jess should have heard him, he glanced at Jess's profile. A heartfelt and cheerful smile, sparkling tiger teeth in the sunlight, I really don't know what good things have happened to him recently. However, after seeing the saliva flowing out and the somewhat serious look in her eyes, Mei probably guessed that it was something related to "food", because Jess didn't seem like someone who would drool over beautiful women. To women is optional, but to food is irresistible, which is what I and my teacher know as Jess.

Suddenly, a strange question came to Mei's mind: "When Jess meets Yuhiko, I wonder if they will die or die for food?"

I recall from my impression that Jess was a person who valued quality over weight. He would willingly starve for three or four days just to eat a delicious dish. But Yuyan is the type of person who doesn't care if the food is delicious, just for the sake of three or four days of food, as the saying goes, weight doesn't matter quality.

"Oh, God knows..." Before the incident happened, no one knew the answer.
