Chapter 16 Attacked
The sudden roar was not unfamiliar, especially Quan had heard similar sounds countless times since he was a child.
Almost as soon as the first roar sounded, a thin figure in a cloak appeared beside Quan, firmly protecting him behind him.
"It's a monster."
Everyone picked up their weapons and stood up, looking warily in the direction of the roar.
However, the roars of the monsters kept coming and going, and they were obviously very close, but they were not seen. If you look carefully, you will find other people in the caravan looking around. After noticing any danger, they calmed down. The same goes for the blade mercenaries.
Assel immediately reacted: "It should be the roar of those monsters on the carriage."
Listening carefully, the roar was indeed coming from the surrounding carriages.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. If possible, they hoped to return to Ke Luo safely without any danger.
Confirming that there was no danger, Carter looked away, and saw Quan with an apologetic face and Xanadu beside him.
"I'm sorry, Xanadu was just worried about me, that's why..."
Carter frowned, but the thing had already happened, and it was useless to say anything, and he couldn't even say "be careful next time" or "don't have a next time", because if Quan was really in danger , he would also agree with Xanadu to do so.
Compared with exposure, the safety of the spring is the most important.
Fortunately, the commotion just now seemed to have attracted everyone's attention, and no one noticed Xanadu's sudden appearance.
So in the end he didn't say anything, just touched Quan's head.
"Okay, let's sit down and eat, and we will go to watch later."
Quan looked around when he sat down. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect. He always felt that someone was watching his side.
"Quan, what are you looking at?" Athel tugged at him.
"No, it's nothing, maybe I'm nervous." Quan smiled and sat down.
He didn't realize that when he looked away, a pair of eyes hidden under the cloak not far away also lowered their heads following his actions, wondering what they were thinking.
"But is it really all right?" Assel looked at the carriages with some concern, "If those monsters keep calling like this, won't they attract other monsters?"
"Probably not. Generally, caravans will add anesthetics to their food when transporting monsters. This is also for the convenience of transportation and to ensure that there will be no troubles on the road, so I think they will stop roaring soon. .”
Sure enough, after a while, those monsters really quieted down.
After the food was settled, Quan and Assel were driven into the carriage to rest. Although Assel wanted to watch the night with them, he was ruthlessly rejected.
Roger patted him on the head: "The caravan is only willing to invite the four of us, even if you keep watch at night, they won't pay you, so you'd better go to rest obediently."
"It's really underestimating people." Arthur snorted unhappily, and then dragged Quan back to rest.
Sleeping in the carriage was not such a comfortable experience. This night, Quan did not sleep soundly, and finally fell asleep, half dreaming and half awake, but was awakened by the noise outside the carriage.
"What's going on, why is it so noisy outside?" Quan rubbed his eyes and crawled out of the sleeping bag.
"I don't know, ha~ people don't have a good rest at night." Asel yawned, unable to open his eyes.
Xanadu, who has become more vigilant since coming here, has already stepped out of the carriage to check the situation, but after half a breath, Jin heard it explain the situation with a little anxiety: "Sha La Sha La!"
Its introduction made Quan fully awake at once. "What? There is a monster attack?"
"No way?"
Assel was also taken aback. Before he could even put on his clothes, he grabbed the cloak and wrapped it around his body before jumping out of the car.
Quan followed suit.
After getting off the car, they found that the scene didn't seem chaotic.
As early as when the caravan stopped to rest, the mercenary guards protecting the caravan set up a lot of traps around the caravan, and asked everyone to move the carriages closer together to form a circle, adding more time to the caravan. layer barrier.
Now, the outer traps were deployed, and the guards immediately dispatched most of the mercenaries to deal with the attacking monsters, while the rest were responsible for maintaining the order of the convoy.
"I saw Uncle Carter and the others." Arthur pointed to the mercenaries who were fighting with monsters not far away, including Carter and others, but the monsters fighting with them surprised Arthur, " God, why are there so many monsters? Maybe all the monsters in the wilderness have come here?"
The large caravan of thousands of people invited more than 200 guards at least, but now the monsters fighting with them are more than double the guards.
Hundreds of monsters, big and small, solitary and gregarious monsters of various types gather together, even if they are all low-level monsters, the scene is really spectacular.
"Stop standing still, little devils, hurry up to a safe place." When someone ran past, he kindly reminded them.
Quan asked, "What are we going to do? Are we going to help?"
Assel naturally wants to help, but he also knows that he can't help at all with his own weight, and although his ability is not strong, he still has eyesight. Although there are indeed many monsters attacking, the mercenaries behaved perfectly. It is easy to handle, and there is no sign of distress at all.
Even the other unarmed people in the convoy, although a little frightened, did not panic, and everything was in order.
Asel gritted his teeth, pulled up the spring and went to the place where the crowd gathered: "I believe they are fine, let's go to a safe place as soon as possible."
Quan had no objection to this, because he also saw that those mercenaries were really powerful—although he didn't understand the power system here, Quan saw many colors of light during the battle.
That kind of aura with different colors and radiance is called grudge.He had heard Asel talk about the characteristics of various professionals. Among them, those who would emit battle qi from their bodies during battle were the marks of professional warriors, and only warriors above the third level could use battle qi.
When Assel introduced him, Uncle Carter, who was also present at the time, deliberately released his grudge to let Quan understand it more intuitively.
So he knew that among the grudges he saw now, in addition to the red grudges that represented third-tier fighters like Carter, there were even orange grudges that represented fourth-tier fighters and yellow grudges that represented fifth-tier fighters.
With such a group of powerful professional warriors, there must be no problem in protecting everyone.
Quan followed Assel to a safe place. The safest place was naturally the center of the convoy of the leader of the caravan. But after getting closer, they realized that there were already a lot of people here. Although the order was maintained, But it still looks noisy.
Quan stopped Assel, who was still wanting to move forward, "Let's not squeeze in, it's easy to get into trouble."
Asel thought about it, and changed the direction, "Then let's go over there."
In the end, they leaned against a carriage, which was the carriage that Athel had always been interested in and wanted to know what kind of monster was inside.
But at this time, they were not in the mood to care about it.
At this time, the owner of the carriage was still mobilizing everyone to take precautions in the crowd, and the driver watching the carriage didn't know where he was, so no one stopped them from approaching.
At this time, Asel was not in the mood to care about monsters or not. He just wanted to know how the battle outside was going.
So he focused on the largest carriage in the caravan.
"Let's climb up to the carriage, where the vision will be clearer."
Quan also wanted to know what was going on outside, so he quickly agreed to Asel's proposal. With Shanaido's help, both of them reached the top of the carriage without attracting the attention of others.
Looking at the battlefield.
The world under the night is dark, and neither Quan nor Assel has the ability of night vision. All they can see are vague figures intertwined in the darkness, and various martial arts and magic skills with special effects.
But they still have Xanadu, who has good eyesight and explained the general situation to them very conscientiously.
Everything was just as they had imagined. Although there were many monsters attacking, they were vulnerable to mercenaries with higher levels than them and well-equipped weapons.
But even so, those monsters did not retreat, still stubbornly trying to break through the defense of the mercenaries.
Quan couldn't understand at all, "Why are they so desperate? There are so many people in this caravan, generally speaking, even monsters shouldn't attack us, right?"
Although I don't know much about it, Quan believes that monsters have a certain amount of wisdom. They may not be as smart as humans, but it is the instinct of all creatures to seek good luck and avoid evil.
"I don't know, but I think there must be something in this caravan that they care about very much, even if they die."
