Chapter 97: Chapter 97, Where are you running 1
Translator: 549690339?????? &—
“Is this Miss Anjia audacious enough to create a commotion in the city?” Fang Hao asked in a low voice.
The Manim Market does have special regulations.
No one is allowed to loot or fight inside the city.
That’s why Fang Hao, a human, dared to swagger about in the city.
Though Miss Anjia is a hero, she’s merely Blue color – somewhat weaker than Bronze Bull.
“Enough about her. It’s good enough that she doesn’t bother the Chieftain. You too keep your distance. If she pesters you on your turf later on, that’s unnecessary,” the cow-headed boss warned gently, signaling him to look out for himself.
Seeing the boss’s expression made Fang Hao even more curious about Anjia. Apparently, even Bronze Bull Talok seemed at a loss about how to deal with this beast-girl.
Very soon, the bartender who went to the warehouse to fetch the spices returned.
Packed neatly were all the spices Fang Hao needed, as well the essence of wine.
The boss quickly calculated the cost. “220 Warfire Coins.”
“Alright.” Without fussing, Fang Hao directly handed over 220 Warfire Coins.
He put everything into his backpack.
The trade was completed.
Anjia’s gambling game over there was also nearing its end.
The once bold and resolute attempt to turn the tide was nowhere to be seen, as sweat was already forming on her brow.
When she lost her last chip, her eyes began to dodge when she saw Fang Hao.
“It seems your luck isn’t on your side,” Fang Hao remarked.
Y-yes, it’s a bit off,” Anjia responded.
“As per our agreement, you need to come with me,” Fang Hao stood up, ready to leave.
Hearing Fang Hao’s words, Anjia became a little flustered.
It wasn’t that she was afraid of Fang Hao; it’s just that this place was Talok’s territory after all.
The consultation she had agreed upon with Fang Hao in front of everyone might run into Talok’s interference.
If she really was forced to accompany this human for three days, wouldn’t she have no chance to run?
Anjia’s big eyes spun around anxiously. “Wait, my luggage is in the guest room. Let me get it.”
With these words, she hurriedly headed upstairs.
Leaving Fang Hao alone standing in the tavern’s main hall, watching her disappearing backside.
Fang Hao had just sat down.
Bang!
The sound of a heavy object falling came from outside the window.
Then, a figure with her luggage dashed past the window on horseback, heading towards the city gate.
Leaving behind a trail of dust.
Fang Hao stood by the window, with his eyes wide open.
Slim body, white hair, beast ears.
Damn it, the girl’s run away.
There was a moment of silence in the tavern.
Then, all the orcs in the bar burst out laughing.
“Hahaha! That’s so Anjia.”
Everyone seemed to have anticipated that Anjia would not smoothly fulfill her promises, as expected.
The bovine boss came out to intervene, “I’ll mention this incident to the
Chieftain, see if there could be any compensation for you.”
“No problem, it’s just a small amount of money, no need to bother Chieftain Talok.” Fang Hao reassured him casually, eyeing the direction in which Anjia had fled.
After that, he walked directly out of the tavern, sauntering towards where his carriage was parked.
Seing Bolton, he said, “You lead, everyone leave the city.”
“Yes, sir.” Bolton answered, starting to organize the return journey.
In contrast to the 120 pig-headed humans on the way there, 42 more young girls from the Rabbitmen Clan were returning.
The Pigmen Clan served as escorts, the carriage hauled the Rabbit Clan girls, and the return j ourney began.
Fang Hao lay in his carriage, exercised God’s Presence, and arrived on the Skeleton Giant Bat camping down in a mountain recess.
Controlling the giant bat to take off into the sky, he began searching for Anjia who had left the city.
Soon, he found traces of Anjia.
Anjia didn’t take the main road but rushed directly into the woods.
She tied her horse to the side, climbed up a tree, and observed the Manim Market.
If she hadn’t climbed the tree, it would have been hard to spot her from the air.
“Let’s see where you’re going.”
Having confirmed Anjia’s location, Fang Hao began to command his skeleton army to intercept.
Anjia galloped out of Manim, plunging headfirst into the forest.
She threw a disdainful smile back at the city, gradually receding behind her.
This clueless human actually wanted her, a renowned thief, to accompany him for three days.
“When you come out, I’ll rob all your money and leave you broke on the roadside,” Anjia gnashed her teeth.
Unlike everyone else’s fear of escape.
Anjia wasn’t planning on running away.
She was simply hiding in the forest, waiting for that human’s caravan to leave
the city, and then she would steal all his goods.
She had heard rumors in the tavern.
This human was incredibly rich, hauling Warfire Coins out by the boxful.
Once she robbed him, wouldn’t all that money be hers?
The more she thought about it, the more excited Anjia felt.
Tying her horse to a tree, she climbed up to get a good view of the gates of
Manim City, ready to wait as long as it took for that human to emerge.
Time passed slowly.
Chewing on a piece of grass and idly swinging her legs as she sat on a tree branch, Anjia grew impatient.
“Did that human die in there? Why isn’t he coming out?”
But as soon as the words left her lips, her face changed dramatically.
She suddenly felt a faint vibration, followed by the sound of rustling bushes.
Glancing around, she saw a dense skeleton army forming a circle, closing in on her.
Anjia was stunned!
She rubbed her eyes incredulously.
What was going on? A massive undead army here? It was impossible!
But when she reopened her eyes, the undead army was still there, closing in on her rapidly.
It looked like they intended to capture her alive.
“Bloody hell, I just lost a lot of money, I’ve got a lot of steam to blow off.” Anjia swore,
She took out a pair of Tiger’s Claw from her waist and slipped them onto her hands.
The next second, she leaped from the tree and punched a skeleton in the skull.
Crack!
The skull shattered with a resounding break.
This kind of injury didn’t hinder a skeleton’s movement; it raised its iron sword and swung it down at her.
Anjia slid her foot back, twisted her waist, and delivered a counter elbow strike.
The skeleton’s head was sent flying like a ball, and its body instantly fell apart, turning into a pile of white bones.
Clang, bang!
Suddenly, countless skeletons swarmed toward her, and Anjia fought back fiercely, punching and kicking in the sea of skeletons.
But soon, she realized something was off.
The more skeletons she killed, the more seemed to appear, as if they were never-ending.
Plus, as the battle wore on, she sustained injuries and her energy quickly waned.
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a skeleton with blue flames flickering in its eye sockets, flipping her off.
Wait, what?
Boom!
Distracted for a moment.
An iron shield smashed into her forehead and she was briefly stunned.
The skeleton army quickly overwhelmed her and pinned her to the ground, stacking up like children playing a game.
Under the command of the Blue Fire Skeleton, Anjia was tightly bound in rope, several layers thick.
Even so, Anjia did not stop struggling and kept cursing, “Let me go, you trash!
If you’re courageous enough, unbind me and we’ll fight fair and square.”
But the skeletons, dumb as posts, stood in place guarding their captive, unresponsive to her words.
She didn’t know how much time had passed.
Anjia grew tired from all the swearing and decided to take a break, needing to recover her strength.
At the same time, she racked her brain for ways to escape.
Apparently, these skeletons were like blockheads, undisturbed by her curses.
She was clueless as to why they would capture her instead of killing her.
Just as she was deep in thought.
She heard the rumble of wagon wheels from behind.
Then, a familiar voice echoed, “Miss Anjia, I have to say, leaving without notice
is a bit impolite, don’t you think?”
