Chapter 186 Return to Hedley
When he saw Wuyang Wuyang's large group of half-human tall rats, Yazhi's tail stood up:
"Lord! Be careful!"
Ryan said seriously: "Yazhi, go hide first."
"Ah."
Yazhi knew that although he was agile, his head-on combat effectiveness was probably not as good as that of the merchants in this caravan, so he returned to the hood of the carriage honestly.
Ryan once again focused his attention on the direction of the approaching beast tide, took a deep breath, and thought in his mind.
Not far ahead, a huge magic pattern suddenly flashed across a large plain, and was instantly hidden, as if nothing had happened. Not even the people in the caravan noticed this scene.
After setting up the magic circle, Ryan said in a deep voice: "Step back some distance first!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the caravan immediately began to retreat with their restless horses.
After seeing that the retreat distance was almost there, Ryan raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and then looked at the tide of rats that was getting closer and closer to him.
"Squeak-"
At this time, the rat tide had entered the range of Ryan's magic circle, and Ryan could clearly hear the screams of the rats.
Everyone in the caravan clenched their weapons, feeling almost desperate. With the speed of these rats, even if they abandoned their carriages and rode back to Minggao City to save their lives, they would probably be overtaken.
Now the only one who can give them the courage to hold on to their weapons is Ryan.
At this time, seeing that the rat tide had already covered his magic circle, and the time had come, Ryan shouted: "Get up!"
As soon as the words fell, a huge red light lit up in the rat tide, and a terrifying power spurted out, as if it was about to face a volcanic eruption.
"boom!!"
Immediately afterwards, a huge pillar of fire rose into the sky, directly annihilating a large area of tempered-clawed rats!
Seeing this scene, everyone in the caravan was stunned at first, feeling the hot wind coming towards them, and after confirming that this was not a dream, everyone became excited.
"Lord Ryan is mighty!"
"This... do you still remember the spectacle outside the imperial capital on the day our caravan set off? It was this pillar of fire!"
Ryan turned his head and glanced at everyone, and said: "Don't take it lightly! There is no way this magic circle can deal with all the beasts!"
Even though he said this, everyone in the caravan was no longer afraid. Everyone in the caravan became more motivated and tightened their grip on the weapons in their hands.
"Master Ryan is here, what are you afraid of? Hold your weapons tightly!"
"Let Master Ryan see that our caravan's escort team also has two brushes!"
"Yes, I haven't taken any action along the way. Let Master Ryan take a look at our strength..."
Everyone in the caravan said something to each other, and at this time, the pillar of fire rising into the sky gradually disappeared. Behind the pillar of fire were many rats with quenched claws whose fur was scorched.
Ryan's magic circle eliminated nearly 90% of the clawed rodents, but even if only 10% remained, it would still be very difficult to deal with.
"kill!"
Oda Yuki raised his sword, roared, and then led the caravan's escorts to kill the remaining clawed rodents.
Seeing the high fighting spirit of this group of people, Ryan also breathed a sigh of relief. Facing this kind of beast tide, he had countless ways to prevent them from getting close to him, but others couldn't tell.
After getting out of his thoughts, Ryan immediately rode up to follow, and together they dealt with the remaining tempered claw rats.
Once the number of these small monsters was reduced, the threat was no longer a threat. Oda Koichi and the others chased the mice and chopped them down for a long time, and finally chopped them all off.
But even so, several people were still scratched by the clawed rats, and if one of them was not careful, the wounds began to fester.
Fortunately, Ryan is more or less an all-powerful mage. Once he uses the healing technique, the festering wounds disappear and the healing is as good as before, attracting everyone's admiration.
After dealing with the rat tide, the caravan wasted a lot of time, which made Ryan dissatisfied.
Fortunately, this caravan was not all filled with stinky men. There was also Yazhi accompanying Ryan, which alleviated Ryan's dissatisfaction a lot.
The caravan marched until night and did not leave Minggao's territory, but this was also expected by Ryan.
Seeing that it was already dark, Ryan did not let the caravan force forward, but camped on the spot. After all, the threat of monsters was much higher at night than during the day.
After dinner, the bonfire was extinguished, and everyone in the caravan soon fell asleep. Ryan sat quietly at the edge of the camp, keeping vigil for everyone.
"Lord."
While Ryan was looking at the stars idly, Yazhi suddenly came over and whispered:
"Are you going to rest? Let me keep watch. My hearing is very good, so I am very suitable for this position."
Hearing this, Ryan smiled and shook his head, reaching out and rubbing Yazhi's little head:
"You go and have a good rest. I'll just keep watch. The noise made by the monster is very loud. If there is a monster approaching, I won't be able to hear it."
"Oh……"
Yazhi's fox ears drooped, seemingly feeling a little disappointed because he couldn't help.
Seeing this, Ryan said:
"Tomorrow night, we will probably pass through a forest on the border and camp in the territory of the Hedley Empire. There are not many Warcraft there, but they are all bandits. Those guys are much more cunning than the Warcraft. When the time comes, it will be up to you, Yazhi, to keep watch."
Hearing this, Yazhi's ears perked up again: "Well, lord, it's agreed!"
"Yeah, it's agreed."
Ryan smiled and nodded.
After knowing that he was useful, Yazhi went to bed with satisfaction, making Ryan shake his head secretly.
Ryan could tell that Yazhi had been trying hard to express herself after leaving Minggao City with him, as if she was afraid of being abandoned by him.
In fact, Ryan didn't care about this at all. He didn't let Yazhi go with him because of Yazhi's ability. After all, he was just a housekeeper on weekdays, and it was of little use to have an elite scout.
Even so, Ryan didn't tell Yazhi Ming. What Ming said might make Yazhi even more frightened. There were some things that Yazhi had to realize on his own.
The night ended quickly, and as soon as the morning sunshine began to shine down, Yazhi got up immediately, looking full of energy:
"Good morning, my lord!"
"morning."
Ryan nodded towards Yazhi and smiled.
This was also the first time Ryan saw Yazhi getting up, well... not counting when he was in bed.
Except when he was in his own bed, Yazhi would always be standing behind the window bars of his house when he woke up, looking very energetic.
Now it seems that Yazhi's processor may be more advanced than theirs. They have to spend a while to boot up every time they get up, while Yazhi boots up instantly.
