Creating a Different World - Chapter 2547

[Chapter 2547: Mule and Horse Iron Bridge]

“Good morning, Miss Mashi!”

“Good morning, Becky!”

“Miss Mashi, did you hear the thunderstorm last night?”

“Did it thunder last night?” Jia Zhengjin had been in the spirit world all night, so he was not very clear, so he turned to ask Tina.

“Yes! It was a big thunder!” Tina said, and couldn’t help laughing.

Perrin, Olivia, Christina, Amy, and Meng Xiaoting beside him also laughed.

“What’s so funny about this?” Jia Zhengjin looked confused, not understanding what his wives laughed at.

“Strangely enough, although it was cloudy last night, the thunder came too suddenly.” Becky said, “I heard that the lightning also hit a road near the town, and two unlucky guys were seriously injured. They were lucky that they were not killed even though they were struck by lightning directly.”

“Oh? Really?” Jia Zhengjin was not very interested in this, “The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders. Let’s hurry up and get on the road?”

“Yeah!”

Everyone ate breakfast together and continued to move towards Frost Dragon City.

On the way, I learned what happened last night from Tina and the others while riding in the same carriage.

If Tina hadn’t shown mercy, the two thieves would have turned into ashes long ago.

But after all, they just stole money, and killing them directly would be too severe a punishment, so Tina spared their lives and only severely injured them, so that they would remember this lesson.

No wonder they laughed so much when talking about the thunder last night in the morning. It felt like they were the ones who did it.

Of course, the two thieves were asking for trouble when they got into trouble. They should be thankful that it wasn’t Perrin who did it. She was different from Perrin and had no mercy. Or rather, she was used to killing people on the battlefield.

This was just a small episode. Jia Zhengjin also quietly told them about the soul-searching mirror. The girls were excited. Even if the range was still large, it would be at least tens of thousands of times easier than before.

The team moved forward along the road without stopping.

When passing the mule and horse iron bridge, Becky came over to remind them: “It’s more dangerous here. Be careful when crossing the bridge.”

Jia Zhengjin got out of the carriage and took a look at the iron bridge.

It turned out that there was a bottomless canyon under the bridge, and there was even fog. People with acrophobia would probably feel weak at the sight of it.

The iron bridge spanned two mountains and looked quite solid. It was okay for the carriage to run on it. But there were no guardrails on both sides, or the guardrails had been removed for some reason. If you were not careful, you might rush out of the bridge and fall down.

They would not die, but others would not know! It would be quite troublesome at that time, and I didn’t know how to explain it.

“Why are the guardrails here gone?” Tina stuck her head out and asked curiously.

“I don’t know!” Becky and others shook their heads. They were not familiar with this place either.

“Olivia, be careful when we cross the bridge.” Jia Zhengjin ordered his wife who was driving the carriage.

“Okay!” Olivia turned around and smiled, “Trust my driving skills!”

“Let’s go, let’s cross the bridge!” Becky rode a horse and led a few of her companions to clear the way.

Olivia drove the carriage closely behind, walking carefully in the middle of the iron bridge.

After a safe journey, they successfully passed the dangerous iron bridge and arrived at the other side. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and put their hearts back into their stomachs.

Just as they were about to move forward, they heard bursts of explosions, followed by flames, and a large group of people rushed towards the iron bridge.

“Everyone be careful, something is happening!” Becky shouted, and quickly pulled the carriage to the side to make way as much as possible.

Because they didn’t know who was fighting in front, there was no need to get involved.

Everyone leaned to the left side of the road away from the cliff to avoid blocking the way, and looked forward in confusion.

Not long after, they saw a young man wearing a magic robe, holding the reins in his left hand and holding a baby in his right hand, running desperately towards this side alone, looking very embarrassed.

Behind him, a large group of fully armed armored knights galloped on horseback and chased after him. Among them, there were several magicians dressed up, waving their wands to release huge flames, attacking the young man running wildly in front, and sparks were flying in the sky.

“What’s going on?” Christina lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked outside and asked in a low voice.

“Don’t mind your own business. Those are probably the Rong guards from the nearby city.” Becky reminded, “They may be catching fugitives.”

“Dragon guards?” Jia Zhengjin was a little surprised, “Why don’t I see any dragon riders?”

“Not dragon guards, but Rong guards! Rong as in Bingrong!” Becky said immediately, “They are considered the elite guards in the small city.”

“Oh~” Jia Zhengjin understood.

Since they were guards in the city, everyone naturally moved to the side.

“Catch him! No matter if he’s dead or alive!”

“Magician, kill him quickly!”

“The most important thing is the child in his hand, we must not let him go!”

“Shoot! Shoot!”

The Rong guards chased and shouted wildly, with fireballs and arrows flying all over the sky, all attacking the front.

The young man with the child desperately rode his horse and ran wildly, avoiding the attacks from behind again and again, looking particularly tired.

Seeing that the Rong guards were getting closer and closer, he held the child tightly in his right hand, and actually loosened the reins with his left hand. He clamped his legs around the horse’s belly, reached out and grabbed a magic wand from the horse’s back, and pointed it back: “McClue!”

“Buzz!” A huge summoning array suddenly appeared between the Rong guards and the young man, and then a bird like a giant swan appeared, vibrating its wings and sending out a fierce hurricane, blocking the Rong guards’ way.

However, the Rong guards were not afraid. They fired arrows and bombarded with magic. The giant bird only lasted less than half a minute and fell down directly. The guards flew over and continued to chase.

Seeing this scene, the young man felt distressed and shocked. He gritted his teeth and turned back to release several ice cones.

However, the attack was completely avoided by the opponent. When he passed the cliff, a magician among the Rong guards released a series of fireballs. The young man avoided four of them, but the fifth one was unavoidable and hit his right shoulder on the spot, causing him to shake.

The child in the cradle slipped out of his hands and fell down the cliff.

“No–!!” The young man let out a miserable cry and tried to fly down, but a Rong guard behind him used a flying rope accurately to catch his neck and suddenly pulled him off his horse.

“The child is in danger!” Tina saw it and hurriedly shouted to Meng Xiaoting, “Hurry up and save him!”

“Okay!” Originally, this was none of everyone’s business, but no one could just watch a child being thrown off a cliff and killed. Especially since Meng Xiaoting came from modern society, she couldn’t just sit back and watch. She immediately summoned a falcon, asked it to swoop down and grab the swaddling clothes, and turned around and flew back with the child.

The child was sent to Meng Xiaoting’s arms, and Tina and others immediately surrounded him to confirm whether the child was in danger of life.

Fortunately, the rescue was timely, and the child was just frightened and crying, and he was not seriously injured.
