Hidden Corners

After the salon, Li Chengyi did not return to the territory. Instead, he directly followed Mina's invitation and went to the territory ruled by her family to look for the griffon.

What he didn't expect was that he was not the only one looking for the gryphon, but there were also two other teams.

One group consisted of Babbitt and a small group of crossbowmen who had just won the duel.

The other team was formed by Jayne and Mina herself. They also brought a dozen people with them, as well as thick nets and anesthesia spray devices, just to capture the griffons.

Before entering the forest, the three teams went to the town on the edge of the forest to supply supplies.

Li Chengyi ignored them and went directly into the forest with two accompanying soldiers who were responsible for carrying supply luggage.

He heard the whispers of Mina and Jayne's team, and the strange serious atmosphere on Babbitt's side.

But none of this has anything to do with him.

Instruct two soldiers to camp outside the forest and wait.

Alone, sword and shield in hand, he strode into the woodland.

After no one was around, Li Chengyi quickly came up.

His steps were as fast as sprinting through the forest, and he crossed more than ten kilometers of woodland in just a few clicks.

Strong consciousness brings powerful perception of the five senses of the body.

Such conditions allowed him to quickly detect the unusual smell in the snowy forest.

In the snow, beneath a cedar tree.

Li Chengyi suddenly stopped, squatted down, pushed aside the snow powder, and looked at the scratches from the eagle's claws that had been covered for a short time.

He stretched out his hand to show it. The size of the eagle's talons was larger than his two hands.

‘Such a huge eagle does not exist nearby. It seems to be the gryphon wandering around here’

He stood up and looked around, and soon found new eagle claw scratches on the branch of an ancient tree not far away.

Apparently the gryphons also stayed there.

He jumped lightly, landed lightly on the branch of the tree, checked it, quickly found a new direction, and rushed forward to pursue it.

The sensitive sense of smell in his nose combined with the traces in the environment allowed him to quickly locate the general direction of the target.

Amidst the sound of rushing snow, Li Chengyi jumped up and down like a bird, rushing lightly towards the depths of the forest.

Not long after, a huge black creature, as tall as two people, appeared in front of him.

It was a strange creature with the head of a lion and the body of a giant eagle.

Its eyes are light yellow amber, with a long lion tail, its wings are spread out, and it is flapping its wings.

"That's it!" Li Chengyi was delighted, immediately raised his shield and accelerated his charge.

What is the concept of being more than six times stronger than the Milton Knight?

The distance of more than one hundred meters took only two seconds due to the combination of his strength and skills.

The gryphon had only soared two meters into the air and had not yet risen.

Ouch!

It roared angrily like a lion, threatening downwards in an attempt to scare away its enemies.

But it's a pity.

On the white snow, a figure quickly rushed to the front, stood up from the ground, and slammed the heavy sword towards the side of the griffon.

Click.

Lightning erupted from the gryphon's mouth at the same time, hitting the human figure.

Bang! !

The heavy sword in the figure's hand also hit the griffon hard.

The huge power and high heat brought by the electric current exploded on one person and one beast at the same time.

The gryphon whined in pain, and was knocked down by the huge strange force. It was smashed into the snow, and it couldn't get up for a while.

Li Chengyi's chest was scorched black, but fortunately the leather armor inside blocked a large amount of electricity.

The injury was nothing to him, it was just a superficial wound at most.

‘The specific intensity is an ordinary voltage of three to four hundred volts, and the current intensity is not large. ’ He raised his hand and glanced at the charred muscles on his arm.

‘It’s mainly numbness and some trouble. ’

With a thought in his heart, Li Chengyi used the radiant force field of Flower Language to internally heal the high temperature burns. At the same time, with the treatment, the numbness quickly subsided.

He looked around and saw a huge, deep bloody mouth on the side of the griffon's body.

That was what he had just cut out with his sword.

"Overall, it's equivalent to a giant lion that can discharge electricity, and its strength is pretty good. It's about as powerful as a rhinoceros."

After giving his evaluation, he waved the sword blade and lifted the heavy shield. This was not a metal shield, but an iron-wood shield covered with thick cowhide. It was extremely hard and heavy, and the key was that it was non-conductive.

puff!

With a sprint, he once again rushed towards the gryphon with damaged wings on the ground.

Click! !

Lightning shot out from the griffon's mouth again, and the blue arc hit Li Chengyi and landed on his wooden shield, leaving a black pit.

The heavy sword slashed down again.

laugh! !

Suddenly, a crossbow arrow shot out from far away from the side, aiming hard at the snow in front of Li Chengyi where he was about to step in the next second.

The sharp and poisonous arrows with a faint blue light shot into the snow and disappeared.

In order to avoid the arrow, Li Chengyi also forced a turn, staggered the griffin, turned around and stopped.

"Who!? Get out!"

He stared at the direction of the crossbow arrow with a grim look on his face.

In the snowy forest there, a group of familiar cloaked men were quickly walking out.

Babbitt was at the forefront, flanked by two mysterious men in gray and white cloaks.

"Injured griffin!? It's still in its infancy! I just need a mount!" A man in a gray cloak said in surprise.

"What about the warrior over there? It should be the gryphon he injured." Babbitt asked.

He obviously didn't know Li Chengyi.

"Give him a sum of money and tell him to get out. This place belongs to us." Another gray cloak said coldly.

They were attracted by the roar of the griffin, but the roar would definitely attract more other teams, so the key was to take the griffin away as soon as possible.

Babbitt took a step forward and faced Li Chengyi. Suddenly his eyes narrowed and he recognized the family crest of the weapons and shield on Li Chengyi's body.

"He is a noble knight!" he whispered.

Most of the nobles will not be short of money, and the opponent still has the force to hurt the griffin, which means that it is not easy to solve the problem simply with money.

"I'll do it." A man in a gray cloak stepped forward and looked at Li Chengyi.

"I am Master Teague from the Royal Capital. If you transfer this griffon to me, you will gain the goodwill from the two mages."

He took off his cloak, revealing an aged and wrinkled face.

"Are there other griffons near here?" Li Chengyi asked.

"No, at least there will be a small number of griffins in the Dawn Territory, which is thousands of miles away." Master Teague replied.

"Then can your goodwill allow me to buy books related to mages?" Li Chengyi asked again.

".This is not allowed, but you can get the qualifications recommended by juniors for inspection." Teague frowned.

"That makes no sense." Li Chengyi picked up his sword and stepped forward. "Two seconds."

"What?" Teague was stunned.

Then he suddenly heard a scream, and Li Chengyi in front waved his wooden shield.

The shield spun at high speed in mid-air, made a loud noise, and hit him.

ah! !

Behind him, Babbitt rushed forward, roared, and drew his sword to block.

Bang! !

Babbitt was knocked backwards and hit the tree trunk hard, causing a mouthful of blood to spurt out.

Only then did Teague react, raising his hand and shooting out a stream of red flames.

The fan-shaped flames rushed towards Li Chengyi, but before they could burn him, they were passed through.

Uh-huh!

The ironwood sword struck Teague hard on the shoulder with terrifying force.

His whole body was knocked to the ground at once, and subsequent spells had no time to be released.

A shadow of a sword passed across his face.

Everything fell into darkness.

Li Chengyi swung his sword, and the iron wood sword whirled and whirled, hitting another gray cloak behind him.

At the same time, a large piece of lightning flew out of the man's hand and landed on Li Chengyi.

Bang bang!

Two muffled sounds exchanged.

Li Chengyi shook his head, and his strong body was only slightly paralyzed before he recovered.

There was a small burnt black pit on the leather armor on the chest.

But it's worse on the other side.

The gray-white cloak fell to the ground, and a large hole was opened in his chest. Blood gushed out, dyeing the snow red.

At this time, Li Chengyi glanced at the evil thoughts prompted by the Flower of Evil.

‘Killing intent +3.’

‘Killing intent +2.’

"Very good. Two mages?"

He was worried that he had no place to collect information about the mage. At this time, he raised his eyes and looked at the four accompanying crossbow soldiers in the remaining team.

The four people's eyes were dull, and they did not realize that the battle was over so quickly.

In their eyes, the burly and handsome young warrior in front of them was simply a humanoid monster more terrifying than a gryphon.

The two mages' spells actually didn't cause much damage to him, and the electric current hit his body as if nothing happened.

There was also Babbitt. His strength was close to that of a regular knight, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even stop him.

"Someone is coming." Li Chengyi suddenly frowned, and his figure suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the crossbowmen.

Anyway, as long as he kills everyone, no one will know that he did it. He should be able to study the things on the two mages for a while.

After several consecutive screams, only Babbitt was left lying on his side in the snow, dying.

His misty eyes stared at Li Chengyi, and he seemed to remember something at this time.

"It's you...!" The young nobleman who had been standing in the corner of the salon, drinking in silence!

No matter how provocative he was at that time, the other party remained silent, as if watching a play.

At that time, he thought the other party was cowardly, but now it seems

puff.

The sword flashed, and everything in front of Babbitt's eyes fell into darkness.

Li Chengyi drew his sword, quickly searched for the two mages, and then rushed into the snow forest and disappeared, chasing the griffin that had just escaped in the chaos.

At this time, the griffin was limping and running wildly in the snow, looking back in horror from time to time as it ran.

Bang!

Suddenly, a figure jumped up from behind and smashed an object, hitting the griffon in the head.

The griffon's vision immediately turned black and he lost consciousness.

Li Chengyi landed on the ground, grabbed the unconscious young griffon by its paws, dragged it up and rushed towards the guarding soldiers.

Suddenly, he stopped and turned to look at the forest to one side.

"who?"

It was quiet.

There was no sound or movement of any living thing.

After sensing that no one was there, Li Chengyi frowned, feeling the inconvenience of scanning without consciousness.

This kind of thing must be completely silenced, but time was urgent at this time, so he dragged the griffin and left quickly.

The gryphon, which weighed more than a ton, was like a small box in his hand and was easily dragged away.

After he left, more than ten seconds later.

A yellow-skinned woman with pointed ears carefully emerged from a dense canopy of trees.

She watched in horror as the gryphon left the bloodstain on the snow, turned around and leaped continuously, quickly disappearing into the dense forest on the branch of a tree.
