Ride and Cut

In the boundless gray desert, the Twilight Forest is the most fertile and vibrant place. Like a huge and pure emerald, green and lovely.

Here, whether it is an iron giant or a tiger spirit, they live in harmony with Mother Nature sincerely. Their love for life can be seen everywhere like trees.

But it didn't happen by accident.

Outside is not only a desert, but also a vast sea composed of sand spiders. Every other month, this "sea" oscillates slightly, and the "aftermath" caused by it is a natural disaster that needs to be resisted by all the creatures in the forest!

For thousands of years, they have paid too heavy a price to protect this peace and tranquility.

For all the beings living here, the sand spider is like a shadow that always weighs on the heart - just the "aftermath" is already suffocating, when the real waves are raging, how to deal with them?

Rafting on the sea of ​​fire, how can you not be afraid of the sea of ​​fire.

Even if there is a slight chance to solve the problem once and for all, it is like the last straw for them to save their lives, and they must grasp it firmly.

So as soon as Li Cha's plan was put forward, it immediately received maximum support.

In just a few days, he gained the authority to dispatch all human and material resources in the forest.

But with the idea, it is still difficult to implement it.

Catch a sand spider and have Dracula bled it as much as he could. As long as he was within two hundred yards, Dracula could sense the location of the blood.

Afterwards, as long as the scorpion follows and flies, it stands to reason that it can be traced back to the final destination of the blood, that is, the spider queen that currently only exists in the conjecture of the lord and Buckland.

In order to guide people, Li Cha sacrificed a lot. He changed from a cold and proud swordsman to Avanti who drives a flying carpet.

The two sat cross-legged on an iron mat and worked tirelessly day and night.

But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

The sand spider seems to have created a very deep traffic route under the ground. Dracula's 200-yard sensing distance is not enough at all, and he often loses it after chasing it.

In this case, there seems to be no other good solution except to try a few times to try your luck.

But every attempt requires Dracula to sacrifice nearly half of his blood.

As a heterogeneous species among the blood knights, his hematopoietic ability is far superior to that of ordinary people, and the sequelae of blood loss are relatively not serious. But even for him, it took at least five or six days to recover from doing this the last time.

After trying several times, there was no progress. Instead, the night of the full moon came first.

The soldiers of the Ripper Legion generally had advanced ranks, and there was a famous general like Seedorf who was very good at defending the city, and the conditions had improved in all aspects, and it didn't take much effort to repel the sand spider.

In terms of experience gains alone, this time it must be more than last time, but the number of advanced people is far less.

After all, even new recruits generally have a high rank, and the experience needed to continue to advance will only increase.

After the night of the full moon passed, Li Cha continued to try again. Before Dracula said anything, Chief Saitos couldn't stand it and called a timeout.

"Li Cha, just try it once a month from now on." The iron giant touched his bald head and said with a smile, "We have persisted for so long and don't care about waiting a few more years. You don't have to worry too much."

"Why?" The lord has been a little bit angry recently, and there are several blisters in his mouth, and his urine is yellow, and his state is obviously not right.

Elder Buckland said that it was because he ate too little fruit, but he knew that it was purely restless.

This irritability is a bit inexplicable, maybe it can be attributed to the periodic depression of mood, anyway, it is not because of not being able to find the Spider Queen, but it must have manifested in the process of searching for the Spider Queen.

"Draining half of the blood in his body every five or six days, this burden is too heavy for Dracula." Chief Saitos said earnestly.

"It is the duty of the minister to share the worries of the emperor." Dracula's face was even paler than before, and it was a bit piercing, and the two dark circles under his eyes were also very deep.

Seen by people who don't know, it is designated that he indulges too much.

"I'm a little anxious." The lord patted Dracula on the shoulder, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I don't know what's going on recently, but I've been very angry."

"Why don't you try to change the environment and go back to the other world for a few days." Chief Saitos winked at him, "I heard that you haven't rested for a long time, how about giving yourself a vacation to relax your nerves?"

Li Cha was taken aback.

After careful calculation, I started from the first time I fell into the new world: I hit sand spiders, made hydrogen balloons, and returned to the world on the other side; I went to Vatican, fought a group fight, and picked two dragon riders; I went back to the Alpine Fort, and came to the new world to help...

The big bald iron giant is right, it has indeed been spinning for a long time.

"That makes sense." He nodded, "I'll be back before the next full moon."

…………

A carriage runs on the road between the space rift and the Alpine Fort.

Although flying around seems very chic and convenient, everyone who has experienced it knows that the high altitude is much colder than the ground. When you shuttle there, the airflow whizzes head-on for a while, taking away body temperature and moisture bit by bit. It is not a very pleasant experience.

And now it happens to be August, when the grass grows and warblers fly, and it is the warmest and most beautiful season in the wilderness.

It was rare for him to feel relaxed, so Li Cha was not in a hurry to go back, he just sat in the carriage leisurely and leisurely while sightseeing along the way. Annie and Buckland had nothing to do in the New World, so they happened to be together.

"Do you think these two people know me casually? They are all particular, okay?" Li Cha said disdainfully.

The three of them were chatting to relieve boredom. Annie accidentally asked why Seedorf and Higuain were chosen, and immediately scratched someone's itch.

"Then tell me, it's idle anyway." Buckland said slowly.

"There are famous generals on the whole continent, count them on your fingers. Isn't Seedorf in the most embarrassing situation?" The lord immediately cheered up, "After he was captured, Stuart couldn't go back, and he made the expeditionary force too ugly and couldn't be integrated into Pompeii. Although the mainland is big, there is obviously no place for him."

"So letting Seedorf come to Alpine Castle is an acceptable choice for both Alpine Castle and himself. Prince Schmidt would not mind giving me this favor."

"It makes sense." Buckland nodded, "What about Higuain?"

"This kid, Higuain, doesn't seem to talk about the eight virtues of chivalry every day, and his nature is relatively pure, but in fact..." Li Cha chuckled, "To put it bluntly, he just bullies the weak and fears the strong."

He had noticed this when he was in Winter City.

A living dragon is better than an undead dragon anyway, and there is a great chance of winning if you fight hard, but Higuain dared not go on his own, and finally made his debut as the lord of the Alpine Fort.

"It's okay for a bully to fight with the wind, but it's really good for him to fight to the death with the stubborn one. This kid doesn't have that kind of courage, and he will definitely choose to turn around and run away." The lord shook his head, "It's just that the dragon is really powerful, and it's not so easy to meet equal opponents, so it's not obvious."

"Isn't that similar to Nehru?" Buckland interjected at the right time.

"It's still much better than that guy." Li Cha sneered disdainfully, "I also know that there is a cowardly side in my character. Higuain has been talking about the knight's code all day long and is trying to correct it anyway. Is it the same as Nehru's lying down and letting ridicule?"

"Shouldn't that be an advantage?" Annie blinked her eyes twice, puzzled.

Li Cha raised his index finger: "Because he must be the weakest of the Pompeii dragon knights and didn't run away, so he let me go, so the royal family won't be too distressed."

To measure the combat effectiveness of a knight, martial skills, grudges and mounts are all important, but courage is also an indispensable part. Sometimes life and death are fought, and the fight is whether there is that tragic bearing that kills all enemies!

Except for the special case of Higuain, there are probably warriors who can be recognized by the dragon.

It's hard to imagine that if they really do something, the other dragonriders will lose to Higuain who is naturally sensitive and likes to retreat.

Annie and Buckland both understood this and nodded.

"Of course the other dragonriders may be a little more powerful, but if you really open your mouth, it's hard to say whether Prince Schmidt will agree so happily." Li Cha crossed his legs and leaned comfortably on the seat back cushion, looking at the vast grassland outside the window, the beauty is bubbling.

"Ten birds in the forest are not as good as one bird in the hand. After all, they are all dragon knights. Of course, whichever is the sure choice."

"I thought you just picked the two most familiar ones." Annie was a little dumbfounded.

"Nizi." Buckland said with an old face, "He has a lot of eyes, you must be more careful in the future, and be careful not to be tricked!"
