Chapter 47: Danger in the Forest

Chapter 47: Encounter in the Woods
La Di raised her head and said, “It seems like someone is screaming for help!”

All of a sudden all of them tensed up, there wouldn’t be bandits or something like that robbing pedestrians nearby. Although the lord beside him had been bragging about how effective the “crackdown” he had launched was, there would inevitably be some fish that would slip through the net.

Everyone stared at the sound of silence, listening, but did not hear anything. Quiller smiled and said, “Ms. Lardy must have misheard something.”

But Miss Scholar still frowned and pointed to the south, “It’s in that direction, Lord Lord, please lend me a horse to confirm.” The gentlemen of the adventuring group had been sitting on a freight wagon on the way, without a horse to ride.

Paul nodded his head in agreement, “Uh, okay! You ride my horse, it’s the fastest among these horses.” He said handing her the riding crop.

Lardy skillfully rolled onto her horse and said to her fellow adventurers, “You guys wait here for a bit, I’ll be right back.” She flicked the whip, and the horse snorted, but just spun in place.

Paul said in embarrassment, “I forgot that this beast only recognizes me, I’ll go up and drive it.”

The urgency of the situation was such that Miss Scholarly gave up her stirrups and Paul rolled up onto his horse and sat in front of her-Lady was a little taller than he was.

“Hold on to my waist!” With a jerk of Paul’s whip, the mount took off at a gallop to the south.

Bryce and Schroeder, who were resting not far away, heard the commotion and immediately ran over.

“Nonsense!” After inquiring about the matter, Bryce anxiously said this. They immediately summoned those who had horses to ride nearby, and together they chased them to the south, with the Adventure Group crowd following close behind.

After running for some distance, Miss Scholar said, “Close!” Paul once again pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and indeed someone was shouting for help. He urged his mount to speed up, fortunately the trees in this area were not dense.

As he ran, after rounding a few trees, the horse under his crotch suddenly raised its hooves high and came to a sharp stop, and the duo on horseback almost fell backwards.

Paul hurriedly looked forward, “Shit!” He ventured out this sentence, his heart felt bad.

Only to see that there was a black spotted tiger a hundred meters away in front of him, which was confronting a tall and a short two people, the tall one was holding a long sword tightly in both hands, protecting the short one tightly behind him. This kind of animal named Black Spotted Tiger’s looks were extremely similar to the Northeast Tiger on Earth, just the pattern was not quite the same, and was also at the top of the wildlife food chain in this world.

Fortunately, this black-spotted tiger was facing Paul’s two people with its back, and did not seem to realize that there was someone approaching behind it. But the two people on the opposite side of the black spotted tiger is dangerous, although the distance is a little far to see not very clear, but the two people’s dangerous situation is still let Paul empathy, he rolled off the horse, took out the fire tube blowing up, want to put the pistol’s fire rope ignition.

“Shit! Is the fuel in it burned out, why can’t you blow it up.”

Just as Paul was puffing his cheeks and trying to blow hard to ignite the fire, Miss Scholar also rolled off her horse and unhooked the short bow that she had been carrying on her back, she skillfully drew an arrow on her bow, pulled the takedown tightly, and took aim at the black-spotted tiger in front of her.

Hey hey scholar lady, even if your archery skill is good, it’s too exaggerated at this distance, right? Paul spat furiously in his heart, the black spotted tiger looked about the same size as a doll cat from here, how could he possibly shoot it. Just as Lardy was aiming, the big cat in the distance had already tensed its hind legs and was ready to launch an attack.

With a cry, Laadi’s arrow shot towards the tiger as fast as a shooting star, and just as the beast was about to pounce, the arrow sank into the fur of its right thigh.

“Roar!” The sudden pain caused the beast to roar wildly, and the large number of flying birds in the surrounding woods were scared into the sky. Paul’s mount, frightened, hissed and ran in the direction it was coming from.

The black-spotted tiger turned around viciously, and soon realized who had attacked it from behind. It quickly abandoned its previous target and ran wildly towards Paul’s side. Due to the distance and the short bow, the arrow just now didn’t penetrate deep into the flesh and didn’t cause any fatal damage.

Looking at the beast that ran like thunder to this side, Paul’s brain was short-circuited, he was at a loss of what to do with the fire barrel that had not been rekindled, and he subconsciously looked at Ms. Scholar.

Only to see that Miss Scholar had already nocked a second arrow, her lips slightly opened and closed a few times, seemed to be muttering something to herself, but could not be heard clearly.

The second arrow was quickly shot out, and under Paul’s incredulous gaze, this arrow plunged into the black-spotted tiger’s right eye without the slightest deviation. With the vital part injured, the beast could no longer endure it and tumbled to the ground in agony. Because of the close proximity, the force of the arrow was barely reduced, and it was deeply inserted into the black spotted tiger’s skull, and it stopped moving after struggling on the ground.

Behind them, the sound of horses’ hooves rang out, it was Bryce and Schroeder and the others who rushed over, they heard the tiger’s roar just now, and looking at the beast that fell to the ground and died, they didn’t need to guess what had happened, and inwardly, they thanked the Lord of Light for his blessings.

“My lord, please don’t risk your life like this in the future.” Bryce said in a serious tone that Paul had never seen before, and a few hints of sulking could even be heard from it.

Paul blushed, “I’m sorry, gentlemen. I …… I was too reckless.”

Just then, the two people who had just confronted the black-spotted tiger walked over and thanked them, “Thank you a million times for your help. May I ask what you all call yourselves?”

Paul slowed down and looked at the two, surprisingly, they were two females, or two beauties. The big beauty is about 1 meter 7 or more tall, black hair, pretty appearance, look tough, looks like the crisis just now did not let her too panic and nervous. The small beauty that she was protecting behind her appeared to be in shock, her breathing was still a bit rapid, the girl was about the same height as herself, and her age should not be too different from her. She had a head of bright blonde hair and snow-white delicate skin, because of the dangerous situation just now, the red tide on her face has not yet faded, but let her show a different kind of lovely.

Paul straightened his hair, stroked his chest and saluted, introducing himself: ”I am Paul Gleiman, the lord of the Earl of Alda’s collar in the northwestern bay of the Kingdom of Aldo, and I welcome the two of you as guests in my territory. May I ask who the two of you are?”

“We have come to the Northwest Bay?” The two beauties of the size in front of them looked at each other.

Uh…… looks like these two are lost.
