Ding ding!
The yellow sand was rolling, Su Lu and Geli were riding horses, galloping on the Central Plains.
Even Su Lu had to admit that he had hired a good guide.
His survival skills gleaned from hurriedly cramming lessons from Rod were appalling and he might even get lost in the wild.
But this Geli, clearly a professional!
This woman was adept at wandering in the Central Plains! From finding water sources to avoiding herds, with her around, Su Lu felt much more at ease on his journey.
Night fell.
Inside the crude camp, a bonfire was blazing, licking at the base of the pot.
In it, were gathered wild vegetables infused with freshly baked bread, soaked in vegetable soup, which tasted surprisingly good.
Well, the hard bread dedicated for outdoor activities was as hard as a brick with a horrible texture, almost usable as a wooden stick.
When eating, it was necessary to saw off with a knife and soften it by soaking in hot soup.
But, with Geli’s recipe, which came from God knows where, and the additions of vegetables, salt, pepper, and other condiments, the taste was unexpectedly good. Even the originally hard bread was soft and delicious in the hot soup.
“Hmm…not bad!”
After finishing the meal, Su Lu took the initiative to wash the dishes. Geli, playing with the revolver, stared at Su Lu’s movements and suddenly asked, “Are you really a folklorist?”
“Of course…”
Su Lu answered without hesitation.
Many times, [Mysterious Scholars] do indeed refer to themselves as folklorists, which is the best cover for their identity.
“You’re not like those exploring expedition teams, you lack a scholar’s temperament…” Geli shook her head, clearly unconvinced, “But since you’ve paid the Golden Dragon, I’ll keep my promise. However, I must warn you, the native Gaosuo people are very dangerous! If you don’t want to die, don’t get any funny ideas!”
“Of course…”
After some thought, Su Lu hoped to get a few Mental Power Potion formulas and some materials. This should not be considered as ‘funny ideas,’ right?
Of course, if he also wanted to gain some experience points, it might be questionable.
‘At that time, I wonder whether I’ll be the one protecting her, or she’ll be the one protecting me.’
Su Lu had nearly figured out Geli’s transcendent ranking. It was just around one, biased towards physical abilities, perhaps her profession was [Soldier]! This was very normal!
Although the waves of transcendence con tinue to sweep across, ordinary people are still the majority in the world.
It’s already much luckier than 99% of the people for this person to luckily get a rank one job and successfully take office.
While thinking, he set up the tent.
Without a tent, it would be hard to sleep well due to the large temperature difference between day and night and the strong wind at night.
The giant moon continued to rise, and the bonfire gradually extinguished.
Geli yawned, “Let’s go to bed early…hopefully, the Evil Spirit Knight will not disturb your sweet dreams!”
“Huh?”
Su Lu was startled, “What do you mean?”
“It’s a legend among the cowboys…since you’re a local who’s left home since childhood, you definitely won’t know.” Geli explained, “The Evil Spirit Knight, a knight from the abyss of Hell, rumored to ride a Nightmare, races on the plain at night, judging people’s souls…” “I see, good night!”
Su Lu smiled and crawled into the tent.
Often, such legends may not be false!
Admittedly some eccentric customs and rumors among the people often have connections with transcendent power.
The Evil Spirit Knight could be a special profession, a certain creature … or even it could, be the Judge from the abyss, like in the legend!
‘But what does it have to do with me?’
He crawled into the bedding and, out of habit, let his soul out of his body.
Boom!
His surroundings immediately changed, and his spiritual body was in the subconscious of the sea.
While the number of mental secret realms around him rapidly decreased, there was an ‘island’ around him!
“Geli’s mind?”
Su Lu looked slightly conflicted, “I’m not up to anything bad… I just want to take a look…”
The memory of a transcendent is indeed a treasure. Furthermore, it might even contain the most relevant information about the Transcendent Market he cared about!
With that thought, he finally stepped into Geli’s Mind Island.
Boom!
In an instant, the scenery around him changed rapidly.
Before him was a small island, with a square in the center, surrounded by pillars of stone. In the middle stood a heavy cavalry knight, standing quietly.
She wore heavy armor, and her mount spouted two plumes of black smoke from its nostrils, hinting at flames within. It was clearly a transcendent creature as well.
“A monster type?”
Su Lu was both shocked and delighted.
What delighted him was that he didn’t have to break through numerous layers of defense, or explore an exhausting labyrinth.
What surprised him was that this type, one that had given up all defense, complex terrains, and miscellaneous soldiers… The remaining knight must be incredibly powerful!
Thinking of this, Su Lu took a deep breath, and the pale Spirit Chain appeared in his right hand.
At this moment, he was no weakling either!
A second-order [Mystical Scholar], coupled with a [Wanderer], dealing with physical and magical sides.
Even if he was suppressed in the opponent’s mental secret realm, he had a certain degree of confidence in dealing with this knight!
“Clatter! ”
The moment he stepped onto the square, the Imight in the center threw her gaze towards him. Hidden under the steel helmet were a pair of eyes full of hostility.
How private is one’s mind?
uuel IS unecuy lue11L111eu db enemy: At this moment, the transcendent warhorse roared out and, spurred by the Imight, charged towards him like a gale. The mounted knight raised her lance for a thrust. “This speed and power… is almost second -order!”
Su Lu swerved to the side to avoid the attack.
But in an instant, the knight somehow managed to hold her charge, turned her horse around, and raised her spear to kill again!
“That’s a foul, are we not abiding by the laws of physics anymore? ”
He awkwardly rolled away, running immediately towards the pillars at the edge of the square without any hesitation.
Stomp! Stomp!
Behind him, the horse neighed and the charge got faster and faster. The knight was covered in a red energy, her spear aimed at Su Lu’s back.
“Now’s the time!”
Su Lu, who had been observing his surroundings with inspiration, didn’t hesitate and swung his right hand.
Swoosh!
The white Spirit Chain flew out and wound around a stone pillar.
Using this pull, he propelled himself into the air and swung a large circle around the pillar.
At this moment, the knight, having lost sight of her target, inevitably slowed down.
“Get down!”
After one swing, Su Lu kicked at the knight.
Thud!
She fell heavily but immediately got back up, clearly unaffected by any weight on her.
“She really is a physical aspect Transcendent!”
If it were a regular person, or even a trained heavy cavalry knight, the weight of several dozen pounds of iron armor would be enough to make them struggle to get back up after a fall!
But this knight was extremely agile, confirming her identity in Su Lu’s eyes right away!
