Chapter 114 Princess, Fia
Chapter 114 Princess, Fia
On the snowy steep mountain, two knights in armor were wandering in the dense forest and snow. Judging from the curve of their breastplates, they seemed to be female knights. They were holding long swords in their hands, wearing helmets and masks, so their faces could not be seen clearly.
"Have you found the princess?"
"Not yet. I hope he won't be teleported to another place."
"No, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also come here before to sign a contract for a strange beast. The teleportation location is similar. Let's look for it again."
The two knights were talking when suddenly a scream was heard in the distance, which immediately alarmed the knights. They immediately rushed towards the source of the sound through the dense forest without stopping.
The source of the sound was a cliff, about twenty meters above the ground. At the foot of the cliff, a woman with long black hair and dressed in tights was lying on the ground in panic, looking at the monster in front of her with horror.
In front of the woman was a pitch-black tiger. Its body shape was no different from that of an ordinary big cat, but the stripes on its body had changed to an evil black and purple color. Two sharp teeth grew out of its upper jaw, about thirty or forty centimeters long, and were exposed outside its mouth. If Zero-One was here again, he would definitely shout: Sabre-toothed tiger?
On both sides of the black tiger, there were three female knights who were seriously injured and lying in a pool of blood. They seemed to still have vital signs and were still gasping for breath. They clenched their fists around their swords and wanted to fight again, but their bodies would not allow them to continue.
"A fifth-level dark-attribute monster, an evil-eyed cat?" A knight on the cliff secretly sighed, "How is it possible that we have encountered a fifth-level monster?"
"Your Highness!" another knight roared, trying to attract the black tiger's attention.
The black tiger and the woman in tight clothes at the bottom of the cliff also saw them. The woman immediately waved her hands and shouted, "Hurry up, come and save me!"
"Roar!" The black tiger seemed to realize that the woman was about to be rescued, and thinking of striking first, he immediately pounced on the woman.
"Ah!" The woman screamed loudly, curled up in fear and covered her head.
“Your Highness!” The two knights roared, but faced with a height of more than 20 meters, they did not dare to jump down. They could only slowly climb down holding the cliff wall.
But the black tiger had already approached the woman and did not intend to leave any room for the two knights. The two knights were unable to arrive in time. The woman watched through the gaps between her fingertips as the black tiger opened its bloody mouth and pounced on her.
At the critical moment, a beam of golden light shot out from the jungle, twirled in the air for several circles, and enveloped the woman downwards. The golden light immediately turned into a golden protective shield, blocking the black tiger's attack route. The black tiger hit the protective shield, but couldn't bite it at all.
The woman was slightly stunned when she saw the golden protective shield. She looked at the black tiger lying on the protective shield and said with emotion: "Whose shield is this? It can actually block the attack of a fifth-level monster."
At this moment, the two knights on the side of the cliff immediately felt a cool breeze blowing, which made it difficult for them to open their eyes.
Alice suddenly emerged from the dense forest, with a wooden shield under her feet. It seemed that she had skied down here.
After seeing the black tiger on the ground, Alice did not panic. She controlled the direction of the wind, adjusted the posture of her feet, and held the wooden shield downward with the help of the wind. She quickly changed her route, raised the wooden shield with her feet, and smashed it hard on the black tiger.
The black tiger's side was hit by the wooden shield and he rolled three or four meters towards the cliff. However, the beast's instinct did not allow him to rest, so he quickly stood up and glared at Alice.
Alice was standing in front of the woman protected by the protective shield. She swiped her right hand across her left bracelet, and a crossbow arrow immediately came out of the natural mark and appeared in Alice's hand. Alice held the crossbow arrow high and pointed it at the black tiger. The natural mark emitted a green light, and balls of green light flowed from Alice's body into the crossbow arrow in the palm of her hand.
He gently pulled the trigger, and a long green arrow immediately shot out and rushed towards the black tiger. The black tiger didn't react for a moment, and rushed towards the long green arrow, stretching out its claws high to try to knock down the long arrow.
However, with the blessing of the powerful wind element, the long arrow could not be shot down by the black tiger in the first time, but instead pierced through the black tiger's palm. The black tiger rolled on the ground in pain, and seeing that Alice's second sword was ready to be launched, he quickly endured the pain and fled, slipping into the woods.
"Huh... I'm so scared." Alice sighed, looking down at the crossbow in her hand and muttering to herself, "If it weren't for Xiaoyi's crossbow, I really don't know how I would have survived here."
"Xiao Yi?" Alice's mumbling was heard by the woman who was still in the protective shield beside her, but Alice didn't care about it, because there were three female knights on the ground who were seriously injured, so Alice did not dare to delay. She immediately removed the protective shield covering the woman and ran quickly to one of the female knights.
"Your Highness!" At this time, a knight had finally come down the cliff and was trotting after the woman. "Your Highness, are you okay?" The knight asked about the woman's condition in panic.
"It's okay, what is she doing?" the woman said, pointing at Alice in confusion.
"Look at that magic power, it seems to be healing." The knight said, but still stood in front of the woman, "No adventurer in the secret realm of strange beasts can be trusted. Your Highness Princess can't be deceived."
"I have something to ask her." The woman said, striding out in the direction of Alice.
"Hey, Your Highness Princess!" The female knight wanted to catch up with the woman, but when she saw the woman looking back and glaring at her, she could only stand there stupidly and follow behind the woman.
At this time, Alice used the amplification of the wood element in the natural imprint, took the hand of a female knight, and slowly injected magic power into it. The wound healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After a while, the female knight's wound healed. Alice did not dare to delay and quickly checked the injury to make sure there was no omission and then brought the second female knight forward.
At this time, the second knight also came down from the cliff and trotted to the side of the woman: "Your Highness, what are you doing..."
"Have their injuries healed?" The woman pointed at the first knight who was lying on the ground and rescued by Alice.
The two knights hurriedly lowered their heads to check her injuries, and turned back in shock to report: "It's, it's fine now."
"No way, it's only been a short while, it's amazing, he must be at least level three in strength."
"How old are you? You look like you have just reached adulthood."
The two knights looked at Alice in surprise, but Alice didn't have time to deal with these things at this time. After rescuing the second female knight, she came to the side of the third female knight.
While the two knights were still discussing, the woman suddenly stretched out her hand, interrupted them and said, "Be quiet, don't disturb others."
"Yes..." The two knights responded hurriedly, then retreated behind the woman and stared at Alice.
After a long time, Alice finally heaved a sigh of relief after she had cured the third knight: "Phew, that's good, at least they are all saved." What Alice was worried about was that the last injured person would be the most seriously injured when they were treated in turn, of course, on the premise that they were all injured at the same time.
Alice did not dare to use the power of the Nature Mark to expand the lawn, for fear that there would be an attack and her magic power would be consumed too quickly and she would be unable to deal with it.
After finally rescuing everyone, she breathed a sigh of relief, but the woman suddenly came forward and asked, "Xiao Yi, who are you?" Alice looked back curiously, but had no intention of answering, which made the woman continue to repeat, "Do you know Xiao Yi? Who is Xiao Yi?"
"Um, Xiaoyi..." Alice said, and quickly looked up and down at the woman in front of her.
The long black hair was exactly the same as Alice's, tied into a side ponytail. She wore a somewhat gorgeous outfit. One could tell it was made of extremely expensive fabric. With the huge earrings on her ears and her exquisite makeup, she looked like the child of some powerful man.
Alice had heard that the reason why Zero-One concealed his real name was that he didn't want to have any contact with those powerful people, so she rolled her eyes and replied, "Oh, my old friend is gone now. This can be considered as his relic." Alice continued to compile the news based on the death five years ago.
"Oh, I thought I could meet that Xiaoyi." The woman's expression immediately became disappointed and she said regretfully.
"What do you want to do with Xiaoyi?" Alice asked puzzledly.
The woman gently tapped her chin with one hand and recalled, "I heard my master talk about him before, and he also talked about him a lot. My master must have doted on him very much. Every day when he supervised my practice, he couldn't help but be in a daze. So I was very curious, who on earth is this guy? Why did the third or fourth-ranked Snow Lord miss him so much?"
"Lord Snow?" Alice was slightly surprised. When Zero One, Leo and Alice chatted in their spare time, they often talked about Zero One's two masters, Aunt Snow and Uncle Yan. After Zero One fought with the Goblin King, Zero One also privately explained that his masters were indeed Yan Wuchang and Snow Girl, the Yan and Snow Duo of Andressa.
Regardless of how Zero One and the Snow Girl became connected, with the Snow Girl's status as the Snow Lord, how could she accept a disciple casually? And from the girl's story, it seemed that the Snow Girl was very concerned about Zero One. So if he could make the Snow Girl leave Zero One and the Nameless Village, and teach this girl even if they had to part ways, his family background must be extraordinary.
"Are you Master Xue Zun's disciple?" Alice asked curiously.
"I guess so, but Master Xue Zun doesn't seem to like me very much. She doesn't want me to say that I'm her disciple in public." The woman said with hatred, "I get angry when I talk about this. Master Xue Zun doesn't even recognize me as his disciple. She even said, "Xiao Yi is my only disciple." I wonder who this "Xiao Yi" is that Master Xue Zun can protect him so much."
Alice shook her head with pretended regret and said, "What a pity! If you had known me earlier, I might have introduced her to you."
"Oh, I didn't expect that he has left. No wonder Master Xue Zun didn't come to see me. Maybe he is accompanying her little Yi." The woman shook her head regretfully and said, "Oh, let's not talk about this. How about we go together?"
"Ah?" Alice and the two knights present asked in surprise.
"Your Highness, didn't you hear that no one in the Secret Realm of Exotic Beasts can believe this? You really don't take my words seriously."
"That's right. In the Secret Realm of Exotic Beasts, many people come to you because you are a nobleman, and they want to establish a relationship with you. There are many bad people."
The two knights persuaded her, and Alice followed suit, "Yes, yes, Princess, you can't trust me so much."
However, Alice's advice made her the target of everyone's criticism: "How do you know that this woman is the princess?" the knight said, and immediately drew his sword and pointed it at Alice.
"It looks like he's the assassin who got the intelligence first and came here to kill me!" Another knight drew his sword and pointed it at Alice.
Alice stared blankly at the two knights in front of her, and said helplessly, "Didn't you say it yourself, Your Highness?"
"Shut up! Take my sword!" said the knight, and quickly raised his sword to stab Alice.
Although Alice felt puzzled, she did not let them make such a fuss. The natural imprint flashed a layer of golden light, covering Alice's body in golden color.
As Alice's gesture changed, golden light gradually emerged from Alice's body and condensed into a protective barrier, standing in front of Alice, resisting the attacks of the two knights.
However, just as the two knights were attacking, the woman called the princess suddenly reached out and grabbed the two knights and said, "You two, don't you think about your own strength? I have the means to repel the fifth-level monster, what about you? Aren't you afraid of losing your lives?"
