National destiny survival: I am weak and rely on luck to fly
Chapter 379 The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind
As expected, before Shen Nan even had time to raise his card once, the price was raised to more than 800,000 gold coins by Viscount Alman and several nobles on the second floor.
The golden-striped tiger cub was finally sold for 920,000 gold coins, and Alman left the scene triumphantly.
"Oh, what a pity." Shen Nan was still sighing when he left.
There are not enough gold coins, and the duck I like flies away.
Unhappy | ???w??)???
Sitt, however, was in high spirits. He looked at Alman being escorted away by the guards and raised his chin. "Don't be impatient, sir. How about we watch a show first?"
"Watch a play? What play?" Shen Nan was curious.
"A tiger cub worth over 900,000 gold coins," Sit smiled narrowed his eyes, "but there's no guarantee it will return safely to the Viscount's territory."
Shen Nan's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be that someone wants to rob the goods?"
"It's hard to say, there are plenty of desperadoes." Sit said in a light tone.
Shen Nan hesitated for a moment, the majestic tiger cub still in his mind.
If I really encounter a situation where gangs rob each other and both sides suffer losses, wouldn’t it be a good opportunity for me to go there and take advantage of the situation?
"Let's go and take a look!"
"Rad, the city is not peaceful tonight. Go home early and don't go out again." Sit advised.
"Understood, Your Excellency Sit." Rad turned around and bowed to Shen Nan again. "Your Excellency Shen Nan, I will take my leave now."
"Wait." Shen Nan stopped him and casually threw out three gold coins. "You've worked hard today. Use these to buy some food."
Every time Shen Nan came to Wanfeng City, as long as Rad ran errands for him, he would give him a tip of one to three gold coins.
Rad was already used to it, and he was still smiling happily. He thanked the man repeatedly before leaving.
Still thinking about the cub, Shen Nan quickly said, "Let's go and take a look."
Sit watched Rad go away, and when he turned around, he saw Shen Nan walking quickly in the direction where Alman left.
He laughed and shook his head, then quickly followed.
Shen Nan was not bothered by the fact that he was about to "rob" a cub worth more than 900,000 gold coins.
When he came to this world, he saw too many cases of nobles exploiting the common people.
Severe taxation, nobles who could capture ordinary people and sell them as slaves at random under any pretext, and so on. The dirty things happening in the dark of this small border town are too numerous to count on one hand.
As a teenager who grew up under the red flag, he could not feel any sympathy for these "superior people".
What's more, he was just going to watch a show.
He just happened to encounter someone else who was robbing him, and he took advantage of the situation.
the other side.
Alman had long anticipated that the return journey would not be peaceful, so he simply did not even return to the inn, gathered all the guards, and went straight out of the city.
The carriages rumbled and raised dust.
Yarman lifted the curtain of the car window and shouted outside: "Cohen!"
"I'm here!" A guard wearing red feather light armor immediately rode his horse close to the car window and leaned over to answer.
"Take two people with you and immediately transfer to the Cormorant's Breath and rush back to the Lord's Mansion at full speed." Alman lowered his voice, speaking quickly and coldly. "Tell Captain Avra to lead all the Shadow Leopard Cavalry to meet me along the northern route. Remember, he must lead the team personally and must rendezvous with me before sunset."
Cohen hesitated for a moment and said, "My Lord Viscount, the Shadow Leopard Cavalry is your personal guard. If you mobilize them all, wouldn't your territory be empty?"
"Empty?" Yarman sneered, his eyes sweeping over the chained iron cage behind the car. The golden tiger cub was growling softly. "If I can't return to my territory with this cub, what's the point of that empty city!"
"I understand!" Cohen said no more, raised his hand, and left with two guards.
The wings flapped, stirring up a gust of wind, and three red shadows instantly disappeared into the sky.
Alman lowered the curtain, leaned back on the cushions, and tapped the hilt of his sword with his fingers.
The last golden rays of the setting sun were swallowed up by the distant mountains, and the dense forests on both sides of the official road quickly sank into darkness.
The wheels rolled over the gravel, making a tiny "clattering" sound, like the timer of death.
Ten miles away.
Shen Nan and Xite hid behind bushes on a gentle slope, overlooking the official road in the dim light.
"Here it comes." Sit reminded in a low voice.
The tail end of the Xit was still lingering when the night suddenly exploded.
boom--
In front, three beams of red light fell like falling stars, knocking over the guards in the front row along with their horses.
A tower shield with a griffin emblem emerged from the dust. Behind the shield, three heavily armored knights raised their swords. Silver-white light intertwined into the shadow of a roaring griffin, rushing straight towards Alman's carriage.
"It's the Griffin Mercenaries!" the captain of the guard roared and drew his sword to fight.
Almost at the same time, an ice-blue magic circle lit up in the dense forest behind.
The high-level magician of the Frostwhisper tower was suspended in the air, and he swung his staff down. Hundreds of ice cones whizzed out, blocking the retreat.
The fire magic scroll was hastily torn open by the guards. The flame wall only blocked it for a moment before it was torn apart by the explosion of the collision between ice and fire, and sparks and broken ice were scattered everywhere.
On the mountain ridge, twelve archers of the Black Crow Ranger appeared, and their arrows enchanted by the Green Wind drew strange arcs, specifically targeting torches and horse eyes.
The fire suddenly went out and the convoy was half blind.
(Holy shit! Is this really real?!)
(When will our country be able to produce a movie like this? I will definitely book the theater every day!!!)
(I do a 360-degree spiral right there! This is what a fucking magic battle is!)
(I'm already kneeling in front of the screen. This is the value of the Western fantasy magic world!)
(I just turned 18 the day before yesterday. When will the system airdrop me in on 0711? I want to pick up equipment for Nanbao!)
(Wake up, the person above, this is really not afraid of death...)
……
Alman lifted the curtain, drew his sword, and cut off the ice cone that was coming towards him with one sword.
"Protect the Viscount!" the captain of the guard shouted, but his voice couldn't stop trembling.
However, the mere thirty-odd guards were quickly defeated by the successive attacks, and the ambushers were closing in on them.
A scarlet magic circle spread across the surface, and tentacle-like shadows entangled the wheels, dragging the third carriage sideways.
The iron cage fell heavily to the ground, and two chains broke with a "crack", and the golden flame of the golden-patterned tiger cub spurted out along the cracks.
The tiger cub escaped completely from the cage.
Although it is a cub, the monster is born with high-level intelligence and knows that it is surrounded.
The moment the iron cage shattered, its golden pupils suddenly shrank, and with a low roar, its four claws stepped on the fire, turning into a golden thread and rushing straight into the depths of the dense forest.
"Chase!"
Several loud shouts rang out at the same time.
Dozens of figures pulled themselves out and chased after the cub, leaving only sporadic flashes of swords to continue to harvest the remaining guards.
A moment later, only three-tenths of Alman's guards were left.
"withdraw!"
Alman no longer cared about his face and tore open a teleportation scroll with his shaking hand. As soon as the silver light appeared, he was hit by an ice-blue rune.
The space was instantly frozen, and the scroll turned into broken light.
"Damn it!"
Seeing that the teleportation scroll could not be used, Alman flipped his wrist to summon his mount, and a giant bird covered with green feathers flapped its wings and took off.
Just as the giant bird rose to a few dozen meters, the sound of feather blades breaking through the air was heard from all directions at the same time.
Three giant red-feathered birds, two black-winged thunder eagles, and even a silver-striped wind falcon swooped down, their sharp claws intertwined with lightning.
The giant bird cried out, and its feathers fell like a rain of blood.
Alman clutched the saddle ring tightly, his face pale as he roared, "My father is Marquis Taidar! If you dare to kill me, the Taidar family will not let you go!"
In response, he was met with a bolt of lightning summoned by the magician.
Purple lightning split the sky, and the night sky was illuminated by thunder and lightning. The giant bird roared and fell into the dark forest with Alman.
Dark as ink.
The golden tiger cub was tightly entangled by a dark green vine, which was as thick as an adult's arm. The cub had its eyes closed and its limbs drooped, obviously paralyzed by the poison.
Sit was still standing there in a daze, watching the vine "take steps" with its roots like a living thing, leaving mud marks on the ground with every step.
"Don't just stand there, they are catching up!" Shen Nan urged in a low voice, turning over and jumping onto the top of the vine.
"What...what on earth is this?" It was the first time Xit saw Fanfan, and he was so shocked that his voice became taut.
"My pet, let's go first!"
The giant bird was too conspicuous when it flew into the sky, so Shen Nan simply ordered Fanfan to roll Xiter onto its vine back.
Vines as thick as python stems scurried along the ground, their branches and leaves gathered into streamlines, transforming into a dark green shadow that slid silently into the depths of the dense forest.
As soon as Shen Nan and his group left, several sounds of breaking wind came from the open space in the dense forest.
The first to arrive were the leader of the Griffin Mercenaries and three heavily armored knights. The silver-white emblems on their shoulder armor had long been blurred by blood.
Following closely behind, the ice-blue robes of the Frostwhisper Tower and the Black Crow Mercenaries appeared in the dark night with cold light flashing, and lastly came the sorcerer who came dragging a scarlet magic circle that had not yet been extinguished.
The four groups of people met at the place where Shen Nan and others had just left, and fire and murderous intent exploded together.
"Where is the tiger cub?" The leader of the Griffin Mercenaries stepped forward.
"How should I know!" The female mage of the Frostwhispering Tower responded coldly, ice crystals spinning at her fingertips, and the chill was overwhelming.
The leader of the Black Crow Rangers snorted coldly, raised his bow and pointed it at the men, "Stop pretending, you rats are the best at stealing! Hand over the tiger cub, or I'll shoot you in the throat with my next arrow."
The sorcerer's voice was low and hoarse beneath his cloak: "If we succeeded, would we still be talking nonsense with you here?"
Suspicion spread like a plague.
The verbal exchange lasted only a few breaths before the spark ignited murderous intent.
Ice and fire intertwined, the knights' swords and rain of arrows roared, the dead trees were cut in half, and the soil was rolled up.
In the chaos and suspicion, the real tiger cub had already disappeared into the dense forest, wrapped in the dark green vines.
Fanfan ran for dozens of miles in the dense forest before Shen Nan summoned a giant bird in a hidden valley.
The night wind was howling, and the sound of flapping wings concealed their whereabouts. Finally, after four hours, they returned to the Dawn Territory.
Sit was taken away by Luke to rest, and Shen Nan returned to the room alone, carrying the still unconscious tiger cub.
He gently placed the little tiger on the bed, its golden fur glowing warmly in the candlelight.
"So cute..." Shen Nan couldn't help but chuckle twice, and lightly touched the tiger cub's wet nose with his fingertips, but Ren Linhe's equally golden eyes appeared in his mind.
He shook his head to get rid of the strange association, but he couldn't suppress the laughter.
Not caring that it was already midnight, he raised his hand to open the light screen and directly made a video call to Ren Linhe among his friends.
The light screen flashed, and a deep and magnetic voice slipped into Shen Nan's cochlea first.
"Why aren't you sleeping so late? Is there something wrong?"
Shen Nan did not answer, but just lifted the tiger cub on the bed high.
The golden fur radiates a soft and bright light, and the black-striped "king" character is both domineering and cute.
"Dangdangdang! Look what this is!"
Shen Nan's eyes curved into crescents. "This is a golden tiger cub. Sit said it can reach the level of a Holy Mage when it grows up! When I saw it, I thought, ah~ Isn't this the contract pet tailor-made for Uncle Ren!"
After saying this, he chuckled twice, then moved closer to the screen mysteriously, almost touching the screen, and whispered, "Guess how I got it?"
Ren Linhe raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips curled up in an arc that said "I'd like to hear more details."
“——Robbed!”
Shen Nan made a small victory gesture, and then poured out all his adventures of the night like pouring beans.
From the tiger cub at the grand finale auction, to following Alman all the way, to the fierce battle between several factions...
Finally, he lowered his voice and concluded triumphantly, "I'll have Fanfan sneak over there. As soon as the tiger cub escapes its cage and flees into the dense forest, Fanfan will quickly grab the cub and poison it, without anyone noticing!"
On the other side of the screen, Ren Linhe listened quietly throughout the entire conversation, nodding slightly at key points. "Nannan is awesome."
The low voice of praise penetrated Shen Nan's ears through the light curtain, and the boy's ears turned red instantly.
"Well, then I'll trade it to you now."
Shen Nan took out a temporary space ball and whispered, "Sit warned us that this tiger cub hasn't been tamed yet and could hurt people if it wakes up. Fanfan was only injected with a trace of toxin. It's strong and will probably wake up naturally in a few hours. Remember to contract it first."
Ren Linhe deliberately emphasized the word "grab" through the light curtain and said, "As you say, thank you Nan Nan for 'grabbing' the pet for me."
The boy's earlobes instantly turned crimson, and he had no choice but to concentrate on the operation, putting the sleeping tiger cub into a temporary space ball and trading it with one click.
On the other side of the light curtain, Ren Linhe picked up the space ball and tapped it with his fingertips, and the information of the young tiger appeared.
【Warcraft·Golden Tiger】
Rating: 1
Attribute: Fire
Personality: irritable, arrogant, and very territorial
Introduction: The cub of the Golden Tiger King, possessing a certain degree of intelligence and great potential.
Ability: Tiger Power Suppression (Spreads invisible pressure centered on the golden tiger, causing weak-willed individuals to have their all attributes reduced by 10%, with a chance of falling into a "cowardly" state, slowing their movements by 30%. The range and effect increase with level.)
The moment the information about the golden-striped tiger cub came into view, Ren Linhe's breathing paused slightly.
Tiger Power Suppression - This ability is enough to drive all survivors crazy, and it is a growing ability.
Such a young cub was actually held in front of the boy through the light curtain.
The joy was like a spark falling into a pile of firewood, crackling and exploding, and even the corners of his usually cold lips couldn't help but rise.
Ren Linhe chuckled softly and stroked the temporary space ball with his fingertips, as if to confirm whether this sudden luck was real.
The barrage exploded instantly——
(It’s over, it’s over, Captain Ren has completely been caught by Nan Bao and turned into a black carp!)
(The corners of his mouth are so upturned that it’s harder to suppress than an AK, tsk tsk tsk!)
(Ahhh Nanbao is mine! Mine! Mine! This damn Captain Ren has taken over again!)
(+1 for the lip balm, it's super sweet, I'll try it first!)
