Chapter 207: Can't Come for Nothing
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on him. Baixue put down her bowl and persuaded softly: "Your Highness, it's very safe here; we can rest for a while before making other plans."
Aidehua Wangzi shook his head, his tone firm: "I still want to return to my country early!" He glanced at Baixue, a flash of complex emotion in his eyes, "Hurry back."
Baixue's fingers holding the carrot turned white, but she still smiled: "At least finish the mushroom soup before leaving?"
Aidehua didn't answer, turning to walk toward the edge of the camp, starting to check his equipment.
Grom looked at Baixue, then at Aidehua, scratching his beard: "This young man has a stubborn temper."
Alice sighed and whispered to Baixue: "Let him go; he has his own choices."
Don't know if this guy is really the kissing monster in the story!
Baixue nodded, but her gaze kept following Aidehua's back, her eyes full of worry.
Aidehua Wangzi walked alone through the forest, rapier in hand, scanning his surroundings vigilantly.
The trees in the Emerald Forest were tall and dense, their branches and leaves intertwined into a green canopy, and the sunlight spilled through the gaps in mottled shadows. However, this beautiful forest made him feel a trace of unease.
Suddenly, he heard a faint groaning sound coming from ahead. Following the sound, he saw a strange man covered in red mushrooms lying on the ground, his body withered, as if his life force had been sucked dry by some force.
"Who... who are you?" Aidehua asked, frowning, his rapier raised slightly.
The strange man raised his head with difficulty, revealing a pale and twisted face; it was Weituo, who had escaped from Mingxing Cheng.
Weituo already felt he couldn't make it; the potions he made had absolutely no effect on these strange parasitic mushrooms.
The sudden appearance of Aidehua Wangzi made a last trace of greed rise in Weituo's heart.
His eyes were bloodshot, his voice hoarse: "Save... save me..."
Aidehua hesitated for a moment, but finally walked up and squatted down to check the other's condition. However, the moment he got close, a flash of crazy light appeared in Weituo's eyes.
"Since I'm going to be out anyway, I should at least have some harvest!" Weituo took out his shotgun from his personal space, pressed it against Aidehua's chest, and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
The gunshot echoed in the forest, startling the birds in the trees. Aidehua's body was lifted by the huge impact, falling heavily to the ground. His chest was covered in blood, his rapier flew out of his hand, landing in the grass not far away.
Weituo stood up with difficulty, swaying as he walked to Aidehua's side, looking down at the dying Prince, a twisted smile on his face: "At least didn't come for nothing!"
Aidehua's consciousness gradually blurred, and the scene before him began to dim.
He couldn't figure out why he had died at the hands of such an inexplicable monster after escaping Mingxing Cheng.
"【Rapier User】, 【Star of the Ball】? This idiot prince is truly trash!"
Picking up the Entries dropped by Aidehua Wangzi, Weituo couldn't resist the fact that he turned into fly ash and was kicked out of the plot world, no matter how dissatisfied he was!
In the Dark Forest, a group of people!
Glancing back, Wester smiled disdainfully.
This bunch of Travelers are all bumpkins, actually not even knowing how to ride a horse.
The double-edged battle axe on Siwen's back was a special weapon that couldn't be stored in his personal space, and with his size plus the battle axe, no horse could have such a strong carrying capacity.
Hans and Nie Yingying really didn't know how to ride a horse, and among the four, only Aoruilian was a master of horsemanship, but in this situation, he couldn't leave his companions behind and ride alone.
Thus, the situation appeared where Wester rode a horse in the lead, and four Travelers followed on foot.
"Damn, what's so great about him, he's just a damned native NPC! If it weren't for the fact that only this guy knows the way, I would have killed him long ago!"
Siwen muttered angrily in a low voice.
"Alright, Brother Siwen, don't be angry. It's a plot mission! There's no other way!"
Hans tried to repair the rift in his relationship with Siwen that had appeared earlier, so he spoke up to persuade him.
But Siwen didn't intend to accept it, glaring at him fiercely and saying no more.
And Aoruilian on the side clearly also had his self-esteem as a strong person.
"Right, for the sake of the mission! So let the horse run a little faster, and we can complete this mission sooner!"
"What?"
The three all looked at the 【Sun Knight】 clad in golden armor in confusion.
Aoruilian didn't explain, just smiled and raised the Sun Shield in his left hand, looked at the sun above his head, and adjusted the angle slightly, reflecting a beam of sunlight onto the horse's butt in front of Wester.
"Condense!"
As the words fell, the sunlight suddenly condensed into a point.
Soon, a wisp of green smoke rose!
"Neigh~"
The white horse neighed in pain and suddenly ran wildly with its legs raised.
"Ah! Hey! What's going on? Hey! Whoa! Whoa!"
Looking at the wretched Wester on the horse's back, the Travelers laughed loudly, and their relationship became much more harmonious for a while.
"Hahahaha, Aoruilian, didn't expect that you kid, who looks honest and upright, would have such a bad heart!"
"No, I'm just doing it so the mission can proceed faster!"
"Haha, good, for the mission! Haha, then let's catch up quickly!"
The Travelers present were all Intermediate experts, so keeping up with a horse for a short time was no problem.
They could even chat while running.
"Miss Nie, haven't seen Viscount Graz for a long time, don't know how he is now..."
Hans's words made Siwen and Aoruilian prick up their ears.
But Nie Yingying herself didn't know where Xie Yaoyao had run off to, and even Lilisi had disappeared in the previous battle.
"I don't know either; what I can be sure of is that he is still in the city, but I don't know where he is or what he is doing!"
Recalling the power the other party had at the training ground, Hans decided it was better to ask less about the other party's whereabouts, lest this woman say something to the other party and cause a misunderstanding.
"It's you, it must be you, you guys must have been the ones who caused trouble just now!"
The furious Wester finally subdued the running horse and turned to question everyone angrily.
But at this time, no one paid attention to him, all looking at the forest not far away.
"Hmm? What are you looking at?"
Wester turned his head; it turned out that the forest ahead had been replaced by a large swamp.
"Ah! So we've arrived!" ===== CHAPTER 208 =====
