Chapter Eleven: Master?
`
Besides the footsteps, there were also clanging metal sounds, it was clear that the person was wearing metallic armor and carrying weapons! It was obviously a collision that occurred while walking in the woods.
Those who walk on the Wildfire Plains with weapons are mostly adventurers.
But encountering other adventurers on the Wildfire Plains may not necessarily be a good thing!
Xia Ya was well aware that he was just an occasional guest star among the bandits, and a very unprofessional one at that. However, on the Wildfire Prairie, most adventurers were engaged in "professional" black-eating-black professions for years on end!
Everyone is walking in the wilderness, carrying their heads to mix a meal, here no one will care about what kind of moral principles, the knife and sword in hand are the hard truth!
Generally speaking, when adventurers meet fellow travelers in the wilderness, they will first make an assessment.
If both sides have roughly equal numbers and strength, they will maintain a vigilant attitude and quickly separate and walk far away, without interfering with each other.
But if one party is strong and the other is obviously at a disadvantage, and the disadvantaged party still has some wealth... Hmph!
There are only two of us now, and we're both injured... or rather, in Shaya's calculation of combat power, this poor guy doesn't even count as a "person", he can only be considered a burden.
If the other party sees how weak they are on their own side, they might get a wicked idea and take advantage of them.
Originally I had no money on me, when I met others, they didn't necessarily think of lending me some.
But now, he has a top-grade wolf skin on his back and a huge sum of money in his arms!!
Xia Ya tightened his whole body, but every move became lighter. He was holding the poor worm in one hand, but quickly found a large tree far away and climbed up like a big mountain cat, hiding his body behind thick branches.
Jing quietly held her breath, while making a few intimidating eye movements at Ke Liang Chou, and tightly covered his mouth with her hand. Finally, after a moment, Xia Yiren saw the approaching person.
There were four people in total on the other side.
The first man looked to be no more than thirty years old, with a head of blond hair and a tall, lean build. He was wearing an exquisite suit of armor that seemed to be made entirely of metal! The silver-white armor had been polished until it shone brightly. This guy even had a large cross-shaped sword slung over his back, with a red gemstone inlaid into the hilt.
Few adventurers on the Wildfire Prairie wear metal armor. Not for any other reason, but because metal armor is generally very heavy and cumbersome, wearing thick and heavy metal armor is not conducive to action. Only a small number of wealthy people can afford to buy those high-end armors - such as chain mail, which is made of fine steel and has lock-shaped scales that are extremely delicate in craftsmanship, maximizing the elimination of some redundant parts of traditional plate armor, being light in weight but excellent in defensive effect, especially against bows and arrows.
But the price is naturally not cheap either, Xia Ya has seen people selling this thing on the black market before, shouting a price of five gold coins for one set!
Xia Ya had once thought that one day he would be able to walk on the Wildfire Prairie wearing such high-end armor...
The second person wore a long black leather cloak, looking short and thin, but the cloak had a hood that covered his head, so Shaya couldn't see his face from above.
The third guy was a sturdy man with a physique like a giant bear, with a head of wild red long hair. He was the strongest and tallest among them. However, in Xia Ya Lei's eyes, that exaggerated muscle seemed a bit too bloated. This guy had a huge shield on his back, which was as hard as iron, and there were some intricate patterns on the surface of the shield that Xia Ya couldn't understand. What caught Xia Ya's attention most was that this giant used an axe as his weapon, just like himself!
But what made Xia Ya a little embarrassed was that the other's axe was obviously more high-end than his own.
That's a fine steel battle axe! The handle has been carved with ring after ring of patterns, which can effectively prevent slipping when swinging the axe. The blade is sharp and white as the moon, with a beautiful curved arc like a crescent moon. The thick back of the axe is full of weight and power, and the tip of the axe is even equipped with a sharp pointed spearhead!
It can be said that this axe is exactly the kind of weapon Xia Yaren has been dreaming of!
He had once seen a similar axe in a weapon shop in Wildfire Town, which felt slightly inferior to the one carried by this guy in terms of quality, but was cheaper than a set of plate armor. However, for Xiaya, it was already an astronomical figure: three gold coins!
Looking at the battle axe, Xia Ya's eyes couldn't help but grow a few points of admiration. He subconsciously touched the package of gold coins in his pocket, and the hard feeling gave him some comfort. He couldn't help but think: Hmm, this time when I go back, I'll also buy such a good axe! Hmm, and that lightweight lock armor, can also come with a set.
At this time, Xia Ya's gaze fell on the fourth person.
This is a woman!
Undoubtedly, this is a beauty who would take the breath away of most men in the world!
Her cheeks are like congealed fat, her eyes are like peach blossoms, her eyebrows are like a cold moon, and her skin is like frosty snow...
Those captivating eyes are enough to make most men's hearts flutter. Moreover, this woman is still very young, and as she walks slowly towards you, she wears a magnificent leather armor - why do I say it's magnificent?
This piece of leather armor is actually made from the rare White Rhinoceros hide! The White Rhinoceros hide is recognized as one of the top materials for making leather armor. It's extremely durable and ordinary swords can hardly penetrate it, making it the best choice among all leathers. What's more, White Rhinoceros are very rare, so just getting a piece of its hide would be worth a fortune!
At this moment, the white rhinoceros leather armor worn by the beauty climbing the mountain has been painted with a layer of silver-white lacquer, and the floral pattern on it is as blooming and opening like fresh flowers. The good air permeability and elasticity of the rhino skin make the armor very well-made, tightly attached to the beauty's body, highlighting her upper body's stunning curves even more.
Underneath the cuirass is a suit of lamellar armor, with each piece of armor resembling a lotus flower petal.
This woman had a slender figure, and behind her back was a long bow. The bow body was pitch black, and it was actually a high-quality iron-bow, while the bowstring was thin and emitted a silver glow. Xia Ya couldn't help but sigh: Good heavens, is this person so rich that they've gone crazy, using silver thread to make the bowstring!!
At a more exaggerated time, this girl had an arrow quiver hanging from her waist, and there were only ten arrows inserted inside!
Xia Ya looked carefully and sighed even more.
That single arrow is worth enough money for him to eat for over ten days! (In fact, he was still underestimating it).
Ordinary arrows, even those of slightly higher quality, have arrow tails made only from goose feathers. But the arrows this woman has... with Xia Ya's experienced hunter's eyes, he can tell at a glance that they are actually eagle feathers!!!!!
And there were only ten arrows in the quiver... Such an action also made Xia Ya very puzzled.
On the Wildfire Plains, beasts and magical creatures are as common as hairs on an ox's back, not to mention other dangers. Most adventurers' archers will bring at least two large quivers of arrows, barely enough to get by.
This woman...
This group of people includes warriors, swordsmen, archers, and that one wearing a leather robe, who might be a healer or even a legendary magician.
Such personnel configuration is a standard adventurer group. Moreover, judging from the excellent equipment of these people, those who can afford such expensive equipment must be masters!
Of course... There's also something else that makes Xia Ya sigh...
The appearance of this female archer...
Alas, there are such ugly women in this world...
It seems that even among experts, there are those who are ugly.
