"Thanks for saving me, Prince Shakka. Let's part ways here then." said Prince Loi with a smile.
Shakton's face turned stern, and he said discontentedly: "What's the hurry, Prince Loy? There are monsters gathering in the surrounding areas. You're only seven people in total. If you encounter more monsters on the road, it'll be dangerous. Come with us. With so many of us together, we'll be much safer."
Prince Luo hastily said: "Shake Prince, no..."
"Don't refuse, or I'll get angry," Shakka said with a scowl.
Prince Luo's expression was somewhat awkward, but he was actually furious in his heart. Prince Luo wasn't a fool either. The behavior of his subordinates collecting the packages of their fallen comrades earlier had already aroused the other party's suspicion.
Yes.
His subordinates' wraps were all treasures of the royal family of the Hanmu Kingdom. The Hanmu Kingdom's royal family had held high positions for over a thousand years, although not as long as the Fenlai Kingdom's history, but their wealth and treasures were also astonishing. However, their royal family did not have space rings, so they could only carry them in wraps.
Actually, at this chaotic time, some big families in the Kingdom of Fenlai and the Kingdom of Hanmu are fleeing directly with their family heirlooms or magic crystal cards wrapped in bundles. How many people on the entire Jade Continent have spatial rings? Even a powerful organization like the Pruxis Guild has only one ring, which is held by the guild leader.
"This Shrek doesn't have good intentions." Lui felt anxious in his heart.
He wanted to refuse, but was worried that Sha Ke would really lose face.
The knight beside Prince Luo gently pulled, this knight was Prince Luo's master, he stepped forward and said: "Since Prince Sha is so sincere, then let's set off with Prince Sha together. It's just troubling Prince Sha."
"No trouble at all, haha, let's go together." Shack burst out laughing loudly.
Judging from Shaka's appearance, he is at least two meters tall, with a strong back and waist, giving off a rough impression. But having grown up within the royal family, how could Shaka really be that rough? He also guessed what the other person was thinking. However, he wasn't worried.
The two teams set off together and headed northwards.
"Boss, the atmosphere is quite eerie." Beibei said to Lin Lei through voice transmission.
Lin Lei smiled secretly, and Prince Roy didn't dare to offend Shak too much, but he also had to be careful that Shak would take action against them. Naturally, in their words and actions, there would be some special circumstances. Lin Lei, who was always on the side, could see the situation of both parties clearly.
Prince Luo talked with Sha Ke for a while before they parted ways.
Sha Ke rode his horse alongside Lin Lei and said in a low voice, "Lin Lei, did you see that?"
"What did you see?" Lin Lei looked at Sha Ke.
Shak glanced at the people on Prince Loy's side, saw no one approaching, and then lowered his voice to say: "This time, the Hanmu royal family must have escaped with the heavy treasure accumulated by the Hanmu royal family for thousands of years. I think those knights' shoulder bags are the heavy treasure."
Lin Lei was clear that due to the existence of Sifang Jinhang, magic crystal cards were very popular.
Even large families and royal families use magic crystal cards. For those wealthy families with hundreds of millions of gold coins, ordinary treasures are nothing. For example, a blue heart grass worth nearly 100,000 gold coins is not even taken by those family royals when they escape.
They brought with them the most precious treasures worth over a million gold coins.
Like the magic crystal core of a 9th-level magical beast, the sacred domain's magic crystal core, precious treasures from other planes... "Lord Lin Lei, as long as you help out, when the time comes to divide these heavy treasures, naturally there will be a share for you. No, two shares, how about that? I think those heavy treasures are worth at least several million gold coins." Shak said in a low voice.
Shaq was well aware of the astonishing wealth of a royal family, because the five magic crystal cards in his possession were worth 500 million gold coins.
That Hanmu Kingdom is no worse than the Finlay Kingdom, and its wealth shouldn't be much different either. The treasures they brought, will they be that different?
"Alright." Lin Lei nodded, "How to make a move, you notify me when the time comes."
Sha Ke was overjoyed when he heard this.
When fleeing, the magician might be a burden, but in real combat, the magician's power is astonishing. Lin Lei, a seventh-level dual-system magician, would likely kill or injure half of his opponents if they were unprepared.
Lin Lei took a closer look at the seven people on Prince Loy's side, each of whom was now carrying four or five bundles on their shoulders. Especially... "Huh?"
Lin Lei suddenly noticed that a middle-aged man sat on a horse with extremely heavy hooves, and the horse was also more tired than other people's horses. What's more, this middle-aged man had another horse tied up beside him - he was one person with two horses!
It is obvious that this middle-aged man has to transfer frequently.
"These horses are all fine horses, even with three or four people on their backs they run like flying. But why can this middle-aged man make the horse so tired? And also need to change horses frequently?" Lin Lei suddenly thought of the reason - this middle-aged man is very heavy.
Or this middle-aged man is carrying something very heavy.
"But this middle-aged man only has a short sword, could it be in the package..." Lin Lei could only think that among the four packages on the middle-aged man's back, there must be something extremely heavy.
At night, the cold wind howls.
Prince Luo's group and Prince Sha's group both camped for the night, no matter how strong a person is, they still need to rest. The seven people of Prince Luo gathered together in one place, while Prince Sha's men were divided into four or five piles. These two groups of horses and men were separated from each other.
"Master, when are we leaving?" Prince Luo Yi said softly. The other five people were all in a state of feigned sleep.
"Wait a bit longer until they are all asleep, then we'll ride off on horseback." The middle-aged man said in a low voice.
Running away in the dark night is ordinary, but it's ordinary because many people use it, and many people use it because this method is effective!
More than thirty people in Shak's camp were also pretending to sleep, but no one was really sleeping. Everyone knew that there would be a battle tonight.
"Lord Lin Lei." Prince Sha Ke said softly beside Lin Lei.
"Huh?" Lin Lei looked at Prince Shake.
"Prince Shake continued: 'Immediately, Lord Lin Lei, you secretly cast a spell, beyond their expectations, directly causing them to be seriously injured. Then we'll kill them all in one go. It's up to you, Lord Lin Lei.'"
"Good." Lin Lei nodded.
In the dark of night, magic is suddenly cast, and indeed, the opponent cannot predict it.
Lin Lei's lips began to move slightly, muttering the magic spell, while Prince Shake could only hold back his anxiety on the side. Poor Prince Luo and the other seven people wanted to wait a little longer, waiting for Prince Shake and others to fall asleep before making their escape.
"Pffft!" "Pffft!" "Pffft!"... Within a radius of ten meters, dozens of sharp earth-piercing spears suddenly emerged from the ground without warning. "Ah!" The cries of agony rang out as the sharp spears pierced through the soldiers' bodies, even stringing one person up alive. Including poor Prince Loy, who was killed instantly. He was the weakest among them.
The dense and intricate array of bayonets sent a chill down one's spine.
Earth-type Seventh-level Magic: Earth Spike Lance Formation.
Prince Naloi and seven others were actually four people who were pierced through their bodies and died on the spot, and the remaining three eighth-level warriors were seriously injured because they were not prepared.
"Kill!"
The nearly thirty members of the Thunderbolt Squad, who were still pretending to be asleep with their eyes closed, heard the miserable cries and, as if receiving an order, rushed up simultaneously. They directly charged towards the remaining three injured eighth-level warriors, with nearly thirty people taking on three.
It's completely disproportionate. Moreover, there are more than ten level 8 warriors on the Thunderbolt Squad side.
"Hmph." "Hmph."
Those three injured eighth-level warriors were easily lynched by a group of people without any resistance.
"Your Highness, everyone is dead." The leader of the Crazy Thunder Squad, a middle-aged man with short golden hair, reported.
"Ha ha, good! Quickly bring those packages over to me. Just this once, each of you will be rewarded with 100,000 gold coins. When I reunite with my father the king, the rewards will be distributed directly." Shak was extremely excited.
The Crazy Thunder Squad had nearly thirty people, with each person worth around 1 million gold coins, adding up to just under 30 million. But the wealth in those dozens of packages added up to definitely over 100 million gold coins.
"Lin Lei, come on, you choose two first." Shak said generously to Lin Lei.
The role of the magician in the group battle was fully revealed, Lin Lei's magic stealth attack this time directly killed four and seriously injured three. If Shak's people came up, I'm afraid at least a few more would have died.
Lin Lei walked directly to the side of that middle-aged man who was Loy's prince master, and weighed the four packages on his body. With this weighing, Lin Lei indeed found something strange. Three of the packages were very light and ordinary.
But the last package, which was clearly held in hand, had an object inside that was only the size of a palm. However, its weight... exceeded one thousand catties.
"Something as big as a palm can weigh over a thousand catties?"
Lin Lei was really shocked.
He had never heard of any substance that was so heavy, not even gold or diamonds, which were much lighter than this unknown substance. It was the size of a palm, but exceeded 1,000 catties.
"Lord Lin Lei?" Shaque walked over, "Have you made your choice?"
"No need to choose, just these two." Lin Lei took the heavy package and one of the other three at random, and put it on his back.
Seeing this, Shaq was also very happy in his heart. What he worried most about was that Lin Lei would open every package and look at it one by one, then choose. That would have made him suffocate. But now Lin Lei just casually weighed and remembered on one of the people, took two packages and that's all.
Then Shak ordered his men to pack up and carry their bundles on their backs.
"Let's go." Shak was full of vigor and energy at this time.
Lin Lei was also sitting on the horse, but at the same time Lin Lei applied a 'Floating Technique' to himself. For a 7th-level magician like Lin Lei, casting a 5th-level spell was simply effortless. Lin Lei controlled the buoyancy of the 'Floating Technique' just enough to offset the weight of the mysterious substance.
This made Lin Lei's horse still run very easily.
"Grandpa De Lin." Lin Lei urged immediately, "Take a look, what's in the two packages I just got?"
"Oh, you've got the treasure?" Dering Cowl, who was estimated to be asleep in the Coiling Dragon Ring, suddenly came to his senses and immediately deployed his spiritual power. His spiritual power directly penetrated into the two packages that Lin Xuan had just obtained.
"This first package contains a brocade box wrapped in several layers, inside the brocade box is a pair of crystal balls, very beautiful crystal balls, and they are a pair. It should have some history, but I don't know its origin." said Delingkovart.
"The second package, ah!"
Dellin Kowert let out a shout of surprise.
"What's wrong?" Lin Lei's heartstrings tightened instantly, he knew that the object as heavy as over a thousand catties in the size of a palm was inside the second package, because the interior of the second package wasn't a square brocade box.
"Black jade, black jade stone... I actually saw a palm-sized black jade stone on the Yulan continent. This, this is too astonishing!" Delin Kowert exclaimed.
Lin Lei's heart skipped a beat when he heard the name 'Hei Yu'.
Hei Yu, in the mortal realm, there is no such substance. This substance comes from another plane of existence, and its hardness is so great that even ordinary gods find it difficult to destroy. During the time of the Radiant Church, a chain mixed with only a small amount of Hei Yu stone was enough to make it impossible for even the strongest masters of the Holy Domain to break. This gives you an idea of just how hard Hei Yu stone is.
"This palm-sized piece of Black Onyx, this... is even more precious than the Crystal Core of a Sacred Domain Magical Beast, how can there be such a large piece?" Deling Kwovar found it hard to believe.
"Is it as big as a palm, or even bigger?" Lin Lei asked in puzzlement.
