Oakley crouched on a branch, holding his breath and concentrating, completely integrated with his surroundings.
Unlike those magicians who are born with magic, and unlike those who are skilled enough to be adventurers, young Oakley is just a hunter.
He thought he would have no problem dealing with ordinary animals, but if he faced powerful monsters, he knew his shooting skills were just a joke.
Relying on the prey and furs obtained from daily hunting, Oakley lived reasonably well in Kais City.
Last winter, the newly arrived lords issued new levies.
The old lord's taxes had already been paid, but the new lord who arrived unexpectedly said that it was not given to him, so it did not count.
Naturally, there is no need to make friends with the gentlemen in the territory. I heard that on the second day after the lord moved in, they held a grand welcome ceremony in the mansion, and the knowledgeable people in the territory also went together.
It was at that welcoming ceremony that the lord, as soon as he was happy, exempted all the people present from paying taxes and spread the taxes they should pay on the rest.
In the West City, there were people who were constantly communicating, instigating, and viciously cursing the soldiers sent by the lord to collect taxes, inciting the people around who were complaining to stand up and resist.
Oakley, who lived not far away, heard and saw clearly, but he had no intention of agreeing at all.
When the lord's men came to the West City to collect taxes, Oakley took out the prey he had just caught and presented the good skin he had just peeled off as a gift.
His obedience was very popular with the lord's subordinates, who did not embarrass him and even called away the slave who opened the rice vat and planned to move the rice away.
The lord's tax collection team continued to drive deeper into the West City, and finally encountered the group of poor people holding farm tools and dressed in ragged clothes.
They held tightly to the simple farm tools that were far from capable of competing with weapons, as if it could give them courage and strength.
However, the reality is cruel. Compared with well-trained soldiers holding steel knives, what can a group of skinny and skinny people do?
The blood flowing on the streets of Xicheng was covered by falling snowflakes. This land was kind-hearted and could not see the blood flowing all over the ground, so it mercifully covered everything.
The vacated shacks were occupied by many slaves who had just been released from slavery.
Slaves who were grateful to the kind lords filled the vacancy of the mob. Seeing these slaves nodding and bowing when seeing the soldiers every day, wanting to kneel down and kowtow to each other again, Oakley felt that slaves were slaves.
A rustling sound came from not far away, followed by footsteps.
The originally lazy eyes gradually became sharp.
Oakley wiped the sweat from his hands, ignored the mosquitoes that kept biting him, and carefully took out the bow and arrow from his backpack.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. According to Oakley's intuition of hunting all year round, there were three people on the other side, which was the limit of what he could deal with.
The hot and humid forest apparently made these low-quality guards forget the dangers around them. They actually took off their armor and placed it casually on their horses.
They talked and laughed, slapping the weeds with their sword hilts to scare out the poisonous snakes, then chopped off the snake's head with one knife and threw the fat snake meat into the prepared sacks.
Oakley glanced at the arrow cluster that he had sharpened to an extremely sharp point, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and silently aimed at the leader.
This man was the guard who exempted him from taxes that day.
It was Oakley who told him that there were many fat snakes here. The gallbladders of snakes could be used in wine and the meat of snakes could be used in soup, which was very nourishing.
"Boom..."
The lingering sound echoed in Oakley's ears. Not far away, a guard holding a poisonous snake was penetrated by an arrow in the back of his head and fell straight to the ground.
The sudden turn of events stunned the two guards.
He bent his bow again and nocked an arrow. This time, two arrows were nocked by Oakley.
Holding his breath and concentrating heavily, the movements of the two people in Oakley's field of vision slowed down.
Suddenly, a terrifying breath came from behind.
Years of dealing with wild beasts has made Oakley's perception much stronger than that of ordinary people.
Not human.
This is...a flying monster?
The arrow was on the string and had to be fired. Oakley gritted his teeth and shot the arrow out.
An arrow passed through the eyeball of one of the guards and penetrated the head.
Another arrow pierced the waist of another guard. Although it was also a penetrating injury, it did not cause death immediately.
Oakley clung to the tree and quickly adjusted his breathing.
The next second, a huge shadow passed over the woodland.
Through the cracks in the leaves, Oakley's heart almost stopped.
The mountain-like dragon galloped through the woods close to the tree crown, and when his wings flapped, he was so dangerous that Oakley was blown off the tree.
Oakley's legs gave out.
Not to mention Case City, looking at the entire country, few people have ever seen a creature like a giant dragon.
With just one glance, Oakley couldn't bring himself to have the slightest idea of becoming his enemy... Is this the pressure of the dragon?
Oakley, who recovered from the shock, jumped down from the tree, fully drew his bow, and found the guard who had just been hit by an arrow but was still alive. However...
The guard's eyes were wide open and he looked up at the sky in horror.
He was shot by an arrow and wanted to run away, but he accidentally saw the terrifying figure of the dragon and was frightened to death.
Oakley shot an arrow in his head to ensure death, and then quickly cleared the scene, pushing all the corpses down the hillside and rolling them into the pit that had been dug.
After burying the body, Oakley didn't dare to stay. He took out the hare he had prepared and hurried back to Case City without stopping. He entered through the east city gate with great swagger and enthusiastically gave a hare to the leader of the gatekeepers. The other party laughed and called Oakley sensible.
As soon as Oakley entered the city, he sold off his hunting proceeds. He was deeply worried about the safety of Case City.
It's not an ordinary dragon, it's a giant dragon with wings spread out to cover the sky and the sun!
Can such a monster really be resisted by the trash in Case City?
Even if the most elite warriors and adventurers from Kais City were gathered together, facing such a monster, there would be no return, right?
He doesn't want to be recruited by the master here and become cannon fodder that consumes the dragon's energy!
Oakley obviously misunderstood Hogu. He had no interest in the city-state that destroyed humans. His hobby was very ordinary, just sleeping.
But it is obvious that Oakley, and even those who witnessed the dragon, did not think that Hogu had such a normal hobby.
In the wild, countless people witnessed the appearance of the dragon.
The timid ones ran away, while the bold adventurers encouraged them everywhere, formed a team, and tried to fight the dragon.
If they win, they will all become dragon-slaying heroes. The body of the dragon after death is also a priceless treasure, which is rare to find!
They didn't seem to consider what kind of existence they were in the eyes of the dragon.
After Huo Gu put down Lu Yu and his group, he stared at them for a long time.
"Let's go." It was Huo Gu who broke the silence. He wanted to sigh, but instead he snorted hard.
Lu Yu had no choice but to think that Huo Gu was really dishonest. Wouldn't it be better if he just said that he couldn't let go of the mist demon?
The mist demon was more straightforward: "You won't be reluctant to leave me, right?"
"Since you appeared, I have been sleeping intermittently. Now that you leave me, do you think I should be happy or cry?"
Huo Gu waved his wings: "We will meet again. Lu Yu, Lulutis, I look forward to your success in verifying your guess. Sigrid, don't lose face with your dragon blood. As for the fog demon... you It will get stronger.”
Huogu had to be careful when carrying people and flew at a turtle's speed. At this time, he lost a few burdens and jumped into the sky with just a slight flutter of his wings.
In just a blink of an eye, Huo Gu's figure disappeared into nothing but a dot.
He left without giving everyone a chance to speak.
The mist demon looked at the direction Huo Gu left, and stared blankly for a while. It was not until Lu Yu reminded her that it was time to set off, that the mist demon changed into a smiling face to indicate that there was no problem.
Lulutis had a new disguise. Based on his experience in the Kingdom of Yas, Lu Yu decisively turned her into his summons.
I am a summoner. Because I am afraid of death, it is normal for me to always summon a summoner to protect me, right?
In this way, Lulutis no longer has to stay in Lu Yu's backpack.
However, Lu Yu, the summoner, is quite frustrated now. According to previous conjectures, the previous flesh and blood chariot should have been banned by the world consciousness, and it is not known whether it can be summoned again.
Even if it can be summoned again, the price to be paid is probably not as simple as just a little magic power.
And the most uncomfortable thing about Lulutis's conjecture is that Lu Yu has been remembered by the world's consciousness.
If you can still summon strange things, the other party will definitely notice it, and then immediately record the summons and modify the cost of the summons.
In other words, even if Lu Yu can summon a second summon similar to a flesh and blood chariot, he can only play it once.
Unless he is strong enough and has the power to completely eliminate the impact of all costs.
At that time, he can realize the freedom of summoning.
"Hey, you think if you seal off my flesh and blood chariot, I won't be able to play with it anymore. I have a lot of weird ideas here."
Sigrid quickly raised her shield and moved forward. Lulutis climbed onto Lu Yu's shoulders, and Lu Yu also stood behind Sigrid and moved together behind a big tree.
After hearing the sudden footsteps, only the mist demon was still standing carelessly in the open space, not even looking for cover.
Seeing Sigrid waving to him repeatedly, the mist demon finally felt like he was meeting an enemy.
"Do you want to kill them?" The fog demon started killing as soon as he came up, perfectly inheriting Huo Gu's idea of solving the problem as quickly as possible.
"Let's see what the other person does first."
As soon as Lu Yu finished speaking, someone shouted from the other side.
"Those in front of you, are you here to slay the dragon too?"
If there is no malicious intent, some are even asking whether to form a team together and make the next Dragon Slaying dungeon.
Lu Yu was stunned for a while before he realized that the dragon this group of people wanted to slay might be Huo Gu.
Both sides put down their weapons and walked out from behind the bunker together.
"Oh, it's a whole team, but it doesn't matter. You all saw the giant dragon that flew over here just now." The leading captain enthusiastically invited, "Are you interested in joining forces? The dragon's body is full of treasures."
Lu Yu and his party looked at the person in front of them, then glanced at his teammates, and asked with fear: "Excuse me, what level of adventurer are you?"
"We are Mithril-level!"
