Chapter 848 Old Friend, Dixia
Shao Yun thought, if the Abyss that invaded Nata was really in collusion with that devil, wouldn’t that be courting death?
I'm afraid that by then I'll be cheated so badly that I won't even have anything left!
He couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing... But what is certain is that the Abyss will definitely be robbed by that bastard."
The system then guessed.
[Although the abyss is intelligent, it doesn't mean it has a brain. Maybe it just thought it was profitable and signed the contract without thinking.]
[After all, you have witnessed its deceptive methods...]
Shao Yun sneered and said with a hint of sarcasm: "You're right... Signing the contract without reading its contents? Don't you deserve to be cheated out of your pants?"
The system beeps again.
[However, it does give some things, like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, which symbolize the end of the world. I'm afraid they are its masterpieces, so you must be more careful.]
Hearing this, Shao Yun took a breath, gritted his teeth, and asked with a grin: "Then, how should I tame the Four Riders of Apocalypse?"
The system noticed Shao Yun's anxiety and quickly comforted him:
[Don't worry, I'll remind you when the time comes. For now, just focus on saving Echo Son.]
Shao Yun nodded, calmed himself down, and continued walking towards the gate of the Holy Fire Arena.
Just as he was about to walk out the door, he suddenly heard a shout from behind him.
"Mr. Shao Yun, wait for me!" Shao Yun turned around after hearing the voice, only to see Maranie running towards him breathlessly from a distance.
She had her Shark surfboard tucked tightly under her left armpit.
Shao Yun looked at Maranie and asked in confusion: "Maranie? What happened?"
Malani ran to Shao Yun, took a breath, and said with great energy: "I want to go with you to save the Son of Echo!"
Although Shao Yun can complete the task alone, since Malani wants to come, let her come together.
So Shao Yun smiled and said to Malani: "Okay, since you are so determined, let's go together."
……
As the sun sets, the afterglow shines on the road, giving everything a golden hue.
Shao Yun rode his "Boadicea" and galloped all the way.
Beside him, Maranie was gliding lightly on her surfboard.
Shao Yun turned to look at Maranie and said, "Maranie."
Malani heard the voice, turned her head and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Shao Yun thought for a moment and said casually, "I'm glad to fight alongside you again, but are you sure you want to go with me to Son of Echo? The Abyss may attack the Flowing Springs."
Maranie pursed her lips and was silent for a moment. She looked back at the road ahead and said slowly:
"I'm worried about Katsina, she's my best friend. So, I have to go and help."
Shao Yun looked at Malani's determined expression and comforted her, "Don't worry, that little girl is very smart, she will be fine."
Malani nodded, but her expression was still a little serious.
"I hope so..."
……
The junction area between the Sons of Echo tribe and the Sumeru Desert.
On the only way for Xumi to enter Nata.
The abyss monsters attacked a caravan coming from Xumi.
After learning the news, Katsina and Sinoning immediately brought the tribal warriors to the rescue.
At this moment, Katsina rushed to the front fearlessly, holding a spear named "Rainbow's Trace" in her hand, and stabbed at a hill man holding a wooden stick.
"Hey!" With Katsina's loud shout, the spear accurately pierced the hillbilly.
In an instant, the body of the Hilichurl that was stabbed instantly dissipated and returned to the earth veins.
However, at this thrilling moment, a huge Abyss-Spirit Dragon suddenly emerged from behind Katsina, trying to crush her to death under it.
In a flash, at this critical moment, Shao Yun rode his horse and rushed over like lightning, crashing directly into the huge Abyss Ridge Dragon.
"Fuck you!" Shao Yun yelled angrily.
The power of this collision was astonishing. The Abyss Ridge Dragon was directly knocked away by Shao Yun who was riding a horse. After drawing an arc in the air, it fell heavily to the ground.
Then, Shao Yun quickly pulled out his musket from under the saddle and aimed it at the Abyss Ridge Dragon that was knocked away.
Shao Yun pulled the trigger, and with a loud "bang", the burning bullet, which was a fireball, hit the Abyss Ridge Dragon.
In an instant, the fireball exploded, and the raging flames instantly enveloped the Abyss Ridge Dragon.
The giant creature struggled in pain under the burning flames. Its body was licked by the flames, making crackling sounds, just like the crackling sounds of trees being burned by flames.
After a few seconds, the Abyss Ridge Dragon's struggle gradually became weak, and it was eventually completely swallowed up by the flames and burned to ashes, leaving only a piece of charred land and wisps of rising green smoke.
Shao Yun looked at the Abyssal Ridge Dragon that was burned to ashes in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, and muttered softly:
"Sure enough, this horn gun is more useful. When I used the shotgun before, I had to shoot it first before I could shoot out the monster's true form."
Katina looked at Shao Yun who came to help with great joy, with a happy smile on her face, and said, "Mr. Shao Yun, thank you for coming to help."
At this moment, Malani rushed over on her cool Shark surfboard, and arrived in front of Katsina in the blink of an eye, shouting, "There's me too!"
Katsina was so excited to see her good friend Malani coming too.
She cried out happily, "Malanie! It's really you! I'm so glad to see you!"
Malani smiled confidently and nodded slightly.
"Seeing that you are safe and sound, I am relieved."
Then he turned his gaze towards the remaining abyss monsters and said with a firm look: "Now, let's go and deal with the remaining abyss monsters together!"
"As for the abyss, you'll know how painful it is after beating it twice!" As she said that, Maranie shook her right arm, ready to fight hard.
……
With the strong support of Shao Yun and Malani, Kazina, who was originally fighting fiercely with the abyss monsters, suddenly became more confident.
The three of them cooperated with each other and quickly and efficiently dealt with the abyss monsters that launched a surprise attack.
Although Shao Yun dealt with 70% of the monsters, there was nothing that could be done about it. After all, it was a fact that he shot quickly and accurately and had high combat efficiency.
With the last Beast Hound being killed, the battle finally came to an end.
Katsina and Sinoning led the tribal warriors to get busy, taking care of the injured caravan members, treating their wounds and bandaging them.
Shao Yun stood not far away, looking at Xinoning who was concentrating on bandaging the wounds of the "wounded" in the distance, and asked: "Xinoning, are you injured?"
When Xinoning heard Shao Yun's voice, his hands paused for a moment, but he quickly continued to concentrate on bandaging the wounded.
Without looking back, she replied, "No, I'm fine, don't worry. Is Katsina hurt?"
Shao Yun walked towards Xinoning who was bandaging the wounded, muttering something at the same time.
"Katsina is not injured."
When Sinoning heard this, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He was glad that Katsina was okay.
She breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly turned her head and her eyes fell on the horn gun in Shao Yun's hand.
Seeing that the weapon he made played its greatest role, a gratified smile appeared on Sinoning's face.
She nodded with satisfaction and said, "It seems that the weapon I made for you is quite effective."
Shao Yun patted the body of the rifle lightly and smiled in agreement.
"Indeed, this gun helped me a lot in the battle. Apart from the strong recoil, there are no other disadvantages..."
Just then, Sinoning's attention returned to the wounded man she was bandaging.
The injured person was Dishiya.
Dixia's arm was injured in the battle just now, and Xinoning treated her wound.
At this moment, Dixia's eyes happened to meet Shao Yun's. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she shouted excitedly:
"Oh, Mr. Shao Yun, long time no see! The last time we met, it seems to have been a month ago, right?"
Shao Yun then noticed that the wounded person Xinoning had just taken care of was Di Xia!
Smiling, he responded, “Yeah, time flies.”
His eyes fell on Dishia's left arm, and he asked with concern: "How is your arm?"
Dixia waved her intact right arm and said nonchalantly, "It's just a minor injury. It's nothing serious."
Immediately afterwards, her attention was quickly attracted by Shao Yun's changes.
"By the way, you finally shaved off your beard!" Dixia said with a smile, "You look a lot younger and more handsome now."
Shao Yun touched his smooth chin and smiled embarrassedly.
Is it really ugly to grow a beard?
If Nata wasn't invaded by the abyss right now, he would really like to chat more with his old acquaintance.
What a pity, she came at the wrong time. If she had come a few days earlier, I could have treated Dixia to a few drinks.
"Dixia, you came at a really bad time."
A bitter smile appeared on Dishia's face, and she said softly:
"Yes, Mr. Shao Yun, I naively thought that this was just an ordinary escort mission..."
However, before she could finish her words, she suddenly felt a piercing pain in the wound that Sinoning had bandaged for her, as if countless fine needles were piercing her muscles at the same time.
Dixia couldn't help but gasp and let out a painful hiss.
"Oh, it hurts, it hurts... Why does it hurt so much..."
