Chapter 47: Distress in the Forest
La Di raised her head and said: "It seems that someone is shouting for help!"
Everyone became nervous at once. There would be no bandits or the like nearby. He's robbing pedestrians. Although the lord next to him has been bragging about the effectiveness of his "severe crackdown" on the road, it is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net.
Everyone was silent and listened, but they heard nothing. Kuile said with a smile: "Miss Ladi must have heard wrong, right?"
But Miss Scholar still frowned and pointed to the south, "In that direction, Lord, please lend me a Let's go check it out." Everyone in the adventure group has been sitting on a freight carriage without horses.
Paul nodded in agreement: "Uh, okay! You can ride my horse, it is the fastest among these horses." After that, he handed her the riding crop.
Ladi climbed onto the horse's back skillfully and said to her companions in the adventure group: "You guys wait here for a while, I'll be back as soon as I can." She flicked her whip, and the horse snorted. But it just kept spinning in circles.
Paul said embarrassedly: "I forgot that this beast only recognizes me. Let me go up and drive it."
The situation was urgent, Miss Scholar gave up the stirrup, and Paul got on the horse. Sitting in front of her - Ladi was a little taller than him.
"Hold my waist tight!" Paul whipped his riding whip, and his horse galloped towards the south.
Bryce and Schroeder, who were resting not far away, heard the noise here and ran over immediately.
“Nonsense!” Bryce said anxiously after finding out the whole story. They immediately summoned the people on horseback nearby and chased south together, followed by everyone in the adventure group.
After running a certain distance, Miss Scholar said: "We're close!" Paul raised his ears again and listened carefully. Someone was indeed calling for help. He urged his mount to speed up. Fortunately, the trees in this area were not dense.
While running, after bypassing a few trees, the horse suddenly raised its hooves and came to a sudden stop. The two people on the horse almost fell upside down.
Paul hurriedly looked forward, "Damn!" He said this and felt bad.
I saw a black-spotted tiger a hundred meters ahead, confronting two people, one tall and one short. The tall man held a long sword in both hands and protected the short man tightly behind him. This animal called the black-spotted tiger looks very similar to the Siberian tiger on Earth, but its patterns are different. It is also at the top of the wild animal food chain in the world.
Fortunately, this black-spotted tiger had its back to Paul and the two, and seemed not to notice anyone approaching from behind. But the two people opposite the black-spotted tiger were in danger. Although they were a bit far away and could not see clearly, the dangerous situation of the two people still made Paul feel the same. He rolled off the horse, took out the fire torch and blew it, thinking Light the matchlock of the pistol.
“Damn! Is the fuel inside burned out? Why can’t I blow it?”
Just as Paul puffed up his cheeks and blew hard to light up the flames, Miss Scholar also turned over and dismounted. She took off the short bow she had been carrying on her back, deftly pulled out an arrow and put it on the bow, tightened the arrow and aimed at the black-spotted tiger in front of her.
Hey Miss Scholar, no matter how good your archery skills are, this distance is too exaggerated, right? Paul was complaining in his mind. The black-spotted tiger looked about the same size as a doll cat from here. How could he possibly shoot it? Just when Ladi was taking aim, the big cat in the distance had already tensed its hind legs and was ready to attack.
It was too late, but it was too soon. After a sweet shout, Ladi's arrow shot towards the black-spotted tiger as fast as a meteor. Just when the beast was about to pounce, the arrow branch struck. The child was inserted into the fur on its right thigh.
"Roar!" The sudden pain made the beast roar wildly, and a large number of birds in the surrounding woods were frightened and flew into the sky. Paul's horse was frightened, neighed and ran in the direction it came from.
The black-spotted tiger turned around viciously and soon discovered the person who was attacking it from behind. It quickly abandoned its previous target and ran towards Paul. Due to the long distance and the use of a short bow, the arrow just now did not penetrate deep into the flesh and did not cause any fatal damage.
Looking at the beast running like thunder towards this side, Paul's brain suddenly short-circuited. He was at a loss while holding the fire tube that had not yet rekindled, and subconsciously looked at Miss Scholar.
Miss Scholar had already set the second arrow. Her lips opened and closed slightly several times, as if she was talking to herself, but she couldn't hear clearly.
The second arrow shot out quickly. Under Paul's incredible gaze, the arrow inserted into the right eye of the black-spotted tiger without any deviation. The vital parts were injured, and the beast could no longer bear it and rolled to the ground in pain. Because the distance was very close, the force of the arrow was almost undiminished and it penetrated deeply into the head of the black-spotted tiger. It struggled on the ground and stopped moving.
The sound of horse hooves sounded behind them. It was Bryce, Schroeder and others who rushed over. They had just heard the roar of the tiger and looked at the dead beast lying on the ground. They knew what happened without having to guess. , thanking the Lord of Light for his blessing.
"Sir, please don't put yourself in danger like this in the future." Bryce said in a serious tone that Paul had never seen before, and there was even a hint of sullenness in it.
Paul blushed: "I'm sorry, everyone. I...I was too reckless."
At this moment, the two people who had just confronted the black-spotted tiger came over and thanked them: "Thank you very much for your help. What do you call me?"
Paul calmed down and looked towards The two of them turned out to be two women, and two beauties. The beautiful beauty is about 1.7 meters tall, with black hair, pretty appearance, and a determined expression. It seems that the crisis just now did not make her too panicked and nervous. The little beauty she was protecting behind her seemed to be in shock, and her breathing was a little rapid. The girl was about the same height as herself, and her age should not be much different from her. She has bright blond hair and snow-white delicate skin. Because of the danger just now, the redness on her face has not faded away, but it makes her reveal a different kind of cuteness.
Paul straightened his hair, stroked his chest, saluted, and introduced himself: "This is Paul Greiman, the lord of the Earl of Alda in the northwest bay of the Kingdom of Aldo. I welcome you both to my territory. "What are your identities?"
"We have arrived at the Northwest Bay?" The two beauties in front of them looked at each other.
Uh...it seems like these two people are lost.
