Chapter Fifty-Seven Little Red Riding Hood

  "Hmm, I haven't been out much, but the scenery along this road is really great. I should take some time to travel more and develop Lion King Ridge into a tourist area. With the vast Ankor Mountains, it wouldn't be bad to set aside some space as a scenic spot either. Or maybe turn those beastmen into tourist attractions - one gold coin for a look, two for a touch, and ten for a photo op... that would be a fortune! Xiao Yu sat in the luxurious carriage, sipping red wine, narrowing her eyes as she indulged in endless daydreams, feeling like this life was just too comfortable."

  "Tai Lande MM, Old An, you guys are always riding horses and leopards, aren't you tired? Come up and have a drink together, let's play chess." Xiao Yu Bai was bored, thinking of getting Anthony Das and Tai Lande to come up.

  "Alas, this old bones truly can't go on. Since the master is so fond of me, I'll just come up and rest for a bit." With that, Anthony suddenly teleported, directly jumping from horseback to the carriage, opening the door and walking in.

  Xiao Yu rolled her eyes, her intention was to let Tairanduo come up, but this old man was so honest, she ended up running up first.

  "Tai Lande MM, it's been a long time since we last played chess together, let's play another game!" Xiao Yu was still tempting Tai Lande, through their recent battles and Xiao Yu's respect for the Elf tribe, Tai Lande's favorability towards Xiao Yu had already reached 10. Although it was far from the 40-50 he had with Grom and his Orc brothers, it was much stronger than before.

  Tai Lande's face was expressionless, riding on the leopard as usual, ignoring Xiao Yu's words. Xiao Yu also didn't dare to tease him too much, lest the favorability value drop again and it would be a loss. As long as he continued patiently, accumulating up to one hundred would be a great success.

  "Master, I'll play a game of chess with you." Antonidas said from the side.

  Xiao Yu looked at this old rascal, and again rolled her eyes in disgust, wishing she could kick him down. "How can you be so shameless? Don't even know to call up Tailande together."

  Helplessly, I set up a Go board with Lao An. This old man wasn't polite either; he picked up the good wine that Xiao Yu had robbed and started drinking it himself.

  Wine was also an important commodity in the transactions with Yunmeng, so Xiao Yu's wine cellar had several cellars, and most of them were precious red wines.

  They drink kumis on that side of the clouds, but they also love the red wine from inland and think it's what real nobles drink, so they often buy it from inland.

  Even the worst red wine from Xiao Yu's place is of noble quality, and selling them inland would cost hundreds of gold coins per bottle, with some good wines even reaching thousands of gold coins per bottle.

  Xiao Yu doesn't care about the wine, he just grabs whatever is available and drinks it like a beverage. He can't even tell the difference between various types of wine.

  Xiao Yu and Anthony Das started playing chess, soon they were fully engaged in the game, forgetting about Tyrant MM's rejection earlier. Anyway, there was plenty of time later, Xiao Yu wasn't in a hurry.

  This old man's chess skills improved rapidly, at first, Xiao Yu thought it was easy to beat him, but soon he found himself evenly matched with the old man, and later on, Xiao Yu had to use a lot of strength to defeat him.

  Now, Xiao Yu has lost more and won less.

  Isn't this old guy pretty fierce? When Xiao Yu asked the old man why he was so fierce, Lao An only replied with one sentence: Playing chess requires patience.

  Xiao Yu rolled her eyes, "You really have a lot of patience. There are only a few people with skin as thick as yours. Before others even say anything, you pick up food and eat it, grab wine and drink it, and squeeze onto the carriage, always with that annoyingly smug smile on your face, like you've seen several million dollars every day. I don't know what makes this old guy so happy all the time."

  "Alas, I lost again." Xiao Yu waved his hand, scattering the chessboard, admitting defeat, and picked up a cup of wine to continue drinking.

  At this moment, Tyron suddenly jumped from the leopard to the carriage in an instant, with extremely agile movements, which led to a burst of applause from the knights on the side of the Wang family.

  In fact, since the departure, the knights of these royal families have been paying attention to this side. First, there were eleven beastmen, each looking so strong, running faster than their horses, and they could keep up with them, giving a kind of oppressive feeling.

  Although they were elite soldiers, not every one of them had the confidence to defeat such a beastman.

  They were thinking about whether their hundred men could withstand the attack of these eleven beastmen. However, some of their fighters were eager to try and find an opportunity to see if they could defeat a beastman. After all, defeating a beastman was an extremely glorious thing.

  Their eyes were actually always on Tyrande. Any normal man, after seeing Tyrande, if he can guarantee not to take a second look, is either a eunuch or gay.

  The beauty of Thailand is absolutely out of this world.

  Even if a woman sees Tyland, she can't help but stare at him, unable to tear herself away.

  When the beautiful elf maiden got on Xiao Yu's carriage, those knights were instantly burning with jealousy, secretly scolding this lord for being so debauched and shameless, actually bringing such a beautiful elf female guard. They didn't know how much Xiao Yu was suffering in his heart, that such a big beauty could be looked at but not touched, what kind of pain that was.

  "I'll come down for the next round." Tyrande said calmly as she walked into the carriage.

  Xiao Yu suddenly felt a great relief in his heart, and just as he was about to signal Old An to hurry up and move away, he found that Tyrande had walked to his side and said, "Master, let me take over."

  Xiao Yu was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

  Then, Xiao Yu pitifully moved to one side, admiring the scenery outside the window, occasionally glancing at Antonidas and Tyrande's chess game.

  Tai Lunde's chess skills were also extremely refined, and he had a draw with Old An. Adhering to the principle of "watching chess without speaking like a true gentleman", Xiao Yu didn't dare say much on the side, and could only use an eye full of tears to pityingly sip red wine while continuing to appreciate his own scenery.

  "What the heck is going on?! How can I, as a master, be so pathetic?!" Xiao Yu's heart was filled with tears, and even drinking the best red wine had lost its flavor.

  "Or I'll go and have a good chat with Fifth Aunt about life ideals? Better not, it's a sensitive period now, if we're caught by the Wang family, it won't be good."

  Out of the Lion King's territory, entered a vast and desolate wilderness, also unknown whose territory this is? It's even worse than the Lion King's territory. However, Xiao Yu estimated that this was an ownerless land, no lord would want such a land.

  Xiao Yu's eyes searched the vast wilderness for anything that could move, trying to find some fun for himself. He thought of his experience taking the train to Tibet, Nima was simply a scam, saying you could observe the scenery along the way, but in half a day, you wouldn't even be able to see one living thing.

  After walking for a while, the road entered a swampy area, with muddy ponds everywhere, and only one official road stretched forward in a winding curve.

  At least here is not completely devoid of life, occasionally you can see some fish jumping out of the water, and you can also see some hard-shelled alligators crawling around in the water, or some jackals wandering back and forth.

  Xiao Yu couldn't help but think about whether or not to eat some alligator meat tonight, it's said to be quite delicious.

  "Get a beast, go and fetch an alligator." Xiao Yu gave the order.

  As soon as the beast heard Xiao Yu's order, it loudly responded and then quickly ran towards the water pool, wanting to jump in. Xiao Yu suddenly scolded, saying: "Come back, who told you to go into the water to catch crocodiles? Can you swim? Can you defeat it in the water? You won't be able to lure it out!"

  When Beast One heard Xiao Yu scolding him like that, he scratched his head and thought about it for a while, feeling that Xiao Yu's words seemed to make some sense.

  Then, the beast picked up a stone and smashed it heavily towards an alligator in the water.

  As expected, the alligator was enraged and immediately crawled up to eat Beast One. Beast One burst out laughing and didn't use his big axe, instead rushing forward and grabbing the alligator's mouth with one hand, rolling around with it.

  "Great, come on, pry its mouth open, and it's done." Xiao Yu cheered from the side.

  The beast and the crocodile were entangled together, the crocodile constantly trying to bite the beast with its big mouth, but the beast dodged agilely, and the crocodile couldn't succeed. Finally, the beast seized an opportunity, pinched the crocodile's upper and lower jaws, exerted force, and with a loud crack, directly snapped the crocodile's mouth in half.

  "Alright, well done! Tonight, I'll reward you with a bonus of alligator meat." Xiao Yu said with a hearty laugh.

  The beast opened its big mouth, hehe smiled, very happy, then he saw another crocodile emerging from the other side, so he threw this crocodile to the ground and went to pry open that crocodile.

  The beast that had been holding back the alligator finally let go, and the other beasts couldn't hold it in either, one by one they also rushed up.

  These barbarians thus developed a habit of catching alligators, and since they were bored on the road anyway, catching a few alligators was also a form of entertainment. In this swampy area, the team's progress was not fast either, and while catching alligators, they could also keep up with the speed.

  Those elite soldiers of the Wang family were shocked to see the beastman directly fighting with the crocodile, their eyes wide with amazement, their jaws almost dropping. If they were to face a single crocodile themselves, although they could kill it, they would definitely need weapons and rely on their martial skills to pierce the crocodile, and there was still a risk of being bitten to death.

  It's just that directly using brute force, only such a barbaric beast can do it, what a huge amount of strength. The alligator's jaws, even if they were made of steel, could be bitten crooked.

  The beastmen had already torn apart dozens of alligators, but they were still not satisfied, so they threw the alligator corpses onto a cart carrying food and gift tents behind them, and continued to look for alligators to tear apart.

  At this time, suddenly a loud barking sound came from the front, and a stray dog ran out of nowhere, chasing and fighting.

  Xiao Yu looked out the window and saw a small red dog being chased by a huge wild dog, running all the way. The little red dog was obviously injured, limping as it walked, and had no power to fight back against the wild dog.

  The jackal chased quickly to the front of the horse team, saw the neat queue, instinctively felt the danger, and ran away quickly. The little red dog, however, seemed a bit silly, unaware of the danger, stumbling and staggering, running to the front of the Wang family's horse team.

  Because this time back to Wang's house, Xiao Yu is not familiar with the path on this side, so naturally they are led by them, and they walk in front.

  "Where did this little dog come from, daring to block the way of our royal family?" A soldier of the Wang family saw that the little dog had run into the middle of the road and immediately spurred his horse on, wanting to kill the little dog with one slash.

  Xiao Yu saw it and immediately raised an eyebrow, shouting loudly: "Stop!"

  The soldier was taken aback, intimidated by Xiao Yu's aura, and immediately stopped in his tracks. Having experienced countless battles, Xiao Yu naturally carried a bloody scent of slaughter on him, which was what people called "killing intent", a kind of indifference to life.

  The soldier of the Wang family could fully sense that if he didn't help, Xiao Yu would even dare to kill him. This feeling was a killing aura, which completely intimidated him.

  The soldier stopped his hand, but soon frowned deeply, feeling a little ashamed that he had stopped because of Xiao Yu's words, and coldly hummed, wanting to continue chopping.

  However, the little dog was very agile and suddenly drilled under the horse's belly. The soldier cut a slash in vain.

  "What the Nima Lergo wall, didn't you hear me say stop?!" Xiao Yu suddenly became furious, and with a wave of his hand, eleven beastman soldiers including Grom quickly rushed up and surrounded the soldier.

  These beastmen soldiers didn't even take out their axes, and instead cracked their fingers one by one, preparing to exercise their muscles and find a suitable spot to snap this soldier in two.

  "What is this?" At this time, Prince Mo, who had been in the carriage all along, also walked out, his eyebrows raised in anger, casting a furious gaze at Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu casually ordered people to surround the Wang family's guards, which was absolutely provocative in any situation.

  Xiao Yu had already gotten off the carriage and walked over, looking at Wang Zimo with a cold expression: "Is this what the noble knights of the Wang family are for? To slaughter small animals that can't even fight back? How brave."

  As she spoke, Xiao Yu had already walked over and beckoned to the little red dog. The little red dog was also very familiar with human nature, and it quickly ran over, jumping into Xiao Yu's arms in an instant.

  The little red dog stuck out its tongue, affectionately licked the back of Xiao Yu's hand, then turned its head and glared fiercely at the Wang family knight who had just tried to chop it down, letting out a strange, beast-like roar, though not very loud.

  Xiao Yu let out a cold hum and didn't even glance at Wang Zimo, turning around to hug the little dog and leave.

  The beastman soldier's copper bell-like eyes glared at the royal knight, and everyone in his hand made a gesture of splitting the crocodile in half as a threat, and then followed Grom back.

  The knight didn't realize until then that his back was completely soaked.

  Being stared at by a dozen or so beastmen who were all as tall as he was on horseback was absolutely a huge pressure.
