Chapter 94

“Hey!”

Lei growled as he jumped up and leaped over to the One-eyed Giant, which was raising a big tree trunk as a stick . He landed on the tree, walked along the tree trunk, and dashed over its head . In the end, a sword light flashed .

The giant devil creature let out a fearful growl, but could only growl a little before gasping for air . The devil creature spat out dark red dirty blood mixed with air bubbles . They turned into countless blood bubbles, overflowing on the ground .

The giant body swayed a few times then powerlessly fell to the ground, which felt like an earthquake .

At this moment, Lei had already leaped back onto the ground as he looked around while holding his sword .

Corpses were strewn all over the place . There were all kinds of demons and monsters, as well as merchants and guards .

Due to the fact that their leader was killed, the remaining group of demons and monsters immediately disbanded in an uproar . This place, which was a battlefield of intense killings only moments earlier, was now filled with endless miserable moans .

After seeing the group of demons and monsters were either driven away or killed, the captain of the caravan, who was shaking in fear all along, finally crawled out of his chariot, thanked Lei a thousand times and insisted on paying him back with an appropriate gift .

Lei didn’t decline either . To an adventurer, receiving remuneration after helping others was a matter of course . It was just that he couldn’t help but be a little surprised when he saw a small pouch of gems .

This was a little too much; it was somewhat not suitable to the rule .

It was true that his merit was very big . When the defense of the caravan was crushed by the human-eating devil creatures under the command of that Giant, a bloody massacre was about to ensue and Lei was like a Divine Soldier descending from the sky, one man one sword, killing a majority of the devil monsters . In the end, he even slayed the leader of the devil monsters; a legendary monster, the “One-eyed Giant” . He had saved the entire caravan from the edge of death .

However, no matter what was said, this reward was too much .

However, the captain of this caravan really knew how to talk, deserved to be a bucket load of good words . Lei couldn’t get a word in . He had no choice but to accept the small pouch of gems .

In return, he decided to escort this caravan to the next town .

It was already dawn when they stopped to camp . Stelle was still busy treating the wounded to the point of exhaustion . She was complaining on the way to the chariot that had been arranged for them .

“This really tires me to death!” She said, “Today, I treated more than twenty people . Among the six with fatal wounds, I could only save one . . . I feel like I am about to become a priest in the God Shrine!”

“A capable person will do most of the work . Leisure is still leisure . ” Sui Xiong laughed out loud, “How does it feel to save people’s lives? Do you feel happy inside?”

Stelle carefully thought for a while then beamed a smile .

Although, she didn’t say anything and laid down to sleep . Sui Xiong smiled when he saw a radiant blue light slightly flickering on the back of her right hand .

After a while, Lei went back to his patrol . There was a clear fresh blood smell on his body; it was obvious that he had been in a fight .

“What did you kill again?” Sui Xiong asked .

“A Chimera . ” Lei said nonchalantly .

“Ah? What kind of Chimera?”

“Chimera” was only a general term . As long as a devil creature had several monster’s features on its body, it would always be called Chimera . They were all kind and evil types and strong and weak types . But the evil ones were still greater than the kind ones anyway . The strong ones were still greater than the weak ones . It was a very famous devil creature .

Lei took out the space bag, “Here it is . The corpse is still in here . I intend to sell it when we arrive in the next town . This thing can be sold for a decent amount of money . “

Sui Xiong used the spirit sensing to scan through the space bag . He could see that besides the giant body of the One-eyed Giant was another monster . It was probably twice as tall as an ordinary person . It had a dragon head, a wolf body, and goat legs . The majority of its enormous gray body was covered by a layer of thick black scales . Its smooth body had proved that its skills were extremely sharp . Its sharp teeth looked as if it could chew steel and iron . Its most powerful weapon might be its three long tails . The pointy joints, which showed through its thick, solid skin, made them look like three dreadful chain swords, completely intimidating people at first glance . The breath from its mouth, on the other hand, proved that it didn’t only know to fight but that it was also able to spit out the poisonous fire .

If it weren’t for the fact that it had run into a super master who was about to step in a Legendary realm, this terrifying devil creature would have destroyed a whole small city without any help . In comparison with it, although the One-eyed Giant had tremendous strength, its movement was a little slow . A few excellent knights together were enough to defeat it .

“How does saving people feel?” Sui Xiong asked .

“It’s not bad . It gives me a subtle feeling of being a ‘Knight’ . ” Lei smilingly said as his face suddenly became serious . He then furrowed his brows, “Earlier, I had a feeling that someone was watching me full of evil intents . The guy I saw was extraordinarily powerful, giving me goosebumps . “

“Is he that powerful?” Sui Xiong was shocked . Being able to frighten Lei like this was not an easy thing to do .

“That’s right . I originally wanted to capture that Chimera alive to train it to be a mount . After all, the field that I excel the most in is riding horses to fight . It is just that the strength of a normal warhorse is very weak . It basically can’t handle my fighting level . Therefore, I have to choose to fight on foot . This Xunlong mount is very hard to buy . Hence, as soon as I saw a creature that could be used as a mount, I immediately wanted to seize it . ” Lei sounded a little regretful as he continued saying, “This guy’s observation made me feel anxious . Thus, I had no choice but to seize the moment and kill it . “

Sui Xiong slightly nodded then asked again, “So right now, is he still watching you?”

“No . When I got closer to the caravan, he had gone . ” Lei thought for a while, then said, “I guess . . . maybe he is cautious about you?”

As Sui Xiong drowned in his thoughts, he launched his spirit sensing to observe the situation around them carefully .

After a while, he found some traces .

There was an insignificant imprint which was engraved in Lei’s spirit . If not careful, it could have been missed . This imprint didn’t cause any harm to Lei or did ithave any influence . Its only effect was to leave a mark on him . When necessary, it would be convenient to use as a trace .

Maybe when Lei was near the guy, due to the fact that one could feel that guy’s power through the imprint,it stayed hidden without sending any messages . However, when Lei left that guy, moving away from his guard,, the imprint immediately activated itself sending information to that powerhouse so he could know Lei’s location .

Hence, Lei had the feeling he was being watched .

Because Sui Xiong didn’t clearly know the root of this matter, he didn’t recklessly touch this imprint, but told Lei about the result of his observation .

“An imprint?” Lei was pondering for a long time then asked, “Can you see when the imprint appeared?”

Sui Xiong meticulously observed and tried to sense for a long time . Finally, he generally determined the time—-it was not too long ago . It would be about one month ago if not shorter .

“Then I can roughly guess what happened . ” Lei obviously had figured out inside his head . After comparing the observation result from Sui Xiong, he immediately came up with a conclusion, “It is possibly left behind by the Ruthless Hunter (the God of Hunting and Massacre) when I attacked his God Shrine before . “

Not too long before, Lei had done big business in Westfall . First, he had almost used up all his assets and hired an evil organization named “Black Ax” to help him cope with a believer of the God of Hunting and Massacre . Taking the advantage when both sides were fighting, he had raided the God Shrine of the God of Hunting and Massacre, wanting to steal a crystal hidden there .

That crystal contained a thread of God Power left behind by the Life Goddess . If one had it and carefully studied it, then he would probably comprehend this “Life” clergy and build a solid foundation to enter the Semi-God’s realm . If one was lucky enough, he would even have reached Heaven with one step, getting the Life clergy, and becoming an Immortal God .

Lei’s raid didn’t fully achieve his goal . The high-ups in the God Shrine indeed lived up to their title as subordinates of the “Ruthless Hunter” . They were pretty vigilant and cunning, escaping from a secret tunnel to the outside . Lei for sure didn’t let them off easily . He chased them straight to the desert, then killed them and stole the crystal .

Just after this incident happened, he met Sui Xiong . As a result, the crystal didn’t only fall into Sui Xiong’s hands, but he was also captured by Sui Xiong, becoming a mount for a Jellyfish God .

If carefully remembering, this didn’t happen too long ago . But at this moment, when Lei looked back, he felt like several generations had passed .

During this time, when he followed Highness Hollow Mask, his life was considerably tough, but it was also quite substantial . Especially when he slowly picked the ideals of his youth again, he could feel that he was slowly going back to the knight’s path . An unknown feeling filled up his mind .

At this moment, when he looked back, it was really like what Highness Hollow Mask said . He felt that the old matters were like yesterdays, which were all dead, present matters were born from today . Forget the past and start a new life .

Right now, he could live with his head held high and his chest popped out . No matter whom he would face, no matter if it was a battlefield or Hell, he would fearlessly step in!

If he were still that lonesome thief rampaging in Westfall and knew that he was engraved with an imprint from the God of Hunting and Massacre, he would probably have been scared out of his wits, would have been like a fly flying crazily and might not have gotten away from the hunt of the assassins under the command of the Ruthless Hunter . In the end, he might have stepped on a desperate suicide road .

But right now, although he was still worried, he was not scared at all nor had any intention of backing down .

He had once again found his peace of mind . At this moment, the so-called death thing no longer scary to him anymore .

However, Sui Xiong would not let Lei be killed by the believers of the God of Hunting and Massacre . The God of Hunting and Massacre himself was an extremely brutal person . His doctrine took this world as a hunting field, viewed all the living-beings as prey to kill and hunt freely, to use the blood to satisfy himself, and to make him happy . The ones who followed this doctrine were absolutely not good guys . As compared to Lei, who had already started to mend his way, those guys deserved to die much more than him!

“Turns out it was that guy . . . ” He coldly laughed then said, “His true effigy can’t step in the Main Surface . I guess he has sent some assassins or maybe a God messenger . Don’t worry . If you can’t take it, you still have me here!”

“In fact, you don’t need to lay your hand into this matter, it’s my business!”

“Pooh! Don’t forget your stuff is still at my place, why is it only your business?” Sui Xiong laughed out loud, “Moreover . . . To be honest, I am still very curious about the domains and clergies of other Gods . It is certainly no good to provoke them myself . But when they come to my door, I won’t have any psychological pressure,”

“What you mean is . . . “

“Uhm, I am hungry already . I want to find another God’s messenger to eat, to fill up this stomach of mine . ” Sui Xiong smilingly said, “I have had a really big harvest after eating the messenger of the God of Conspiracy last time . This time, I am really looking forward to the messenger of the God of Hunting and Massacre . I hope it will taste good . . . “

Lei silenced for a long time then kneeled down in front of Sui Xiong, put his right hand of his chest, and lowered his head really low .

“Although I don’t know much about your doctrine nor offer you my conviction, please accept my oath . ” He slowly, but really determinedly said, “I Leon-Igor vow to you here . I am willing to devote my life and spirit to you, eulogize you, tramp through thick and thin for you, and fight for you . Even if I have to die, I will never give up my loyalty to you!”
