Chapter 140 (2/2)

“Fang Wei, you go control the surveillance system and see where is he heading off to.”

Fang Wei shook his head helplessly, “This is only the trial product made by the Science Academy to accommodate to the Miracle World’s law of physics. We can only check out current situations and cannot track back to what had happened earlier. We can’t even use it for communication. Now, we can only try our luck to see if other Great Warriors have come into contact with him.”

On the other side, Fang Xingjian was still unaware that there were some familiar acquaintances who had fixed their gazes on him.

He continued to advance and about an hour later, he came across some footsteps. He squatted down to take a look and discovered that they were footprints from armors.

“The casting of the Garcia people is of a really low standard. These should be the traces left behind from the armors of the Empire’s Knights.”

Thinking about this, he took a look around the surroundings and found other traces.

Therefore, he continued his chase in the direction where there were even more traces. However, when he came to a big tree, four people surrounded him suddenly.

“Haha, Tai Long, I told you that someone would definitely follow the traces we left behind. Your armor is too heavy.”

The one who spoke up was someone really skinny. However, while he was wearing a Knight attire, it was hard to conceal his wretched disposition.

The one called Tai Long was a Knight wearing a set of heavy armor which encompassed all over his body. When he heard this, he shouted out, “Who are you? Why are you following us?”

“Isn’t it obvious? One look and you can tell that he is a Knight.” A green haired female Knight smiled and looked at the ragged Fang Xingjian, asking, “Fellow, which academy are you from? Have you been separated from your team mates?”

On the other end, a Knight who was covered in a black suit casted a few glances in Fang Xingjian’s direction. He seemed to feel that Fang Xingjian was of no threat to him and leaped up a branch, starting to be on his guard to the surroundings.

Fang Xingjian casted a glance at these four and said, “I’m from Kirst Royal Academy. Who are you guys?”

“Oh? From Kirst? We are from Lathander Royal Academy.” The green haired lady smiled, “This time around, you guys from Kirst really have stolen all the limelight. Do you know the guy called Hamil? He had killed seven of those Black Devils alone by himself. Seems like he’ll have a chance in the next Regional Selection.”

Fang Xingjian shook his head, “I’ve been rushing on my way till now and am not very clear about the current situation. Do you guys have spare weapons?”

The wretched-looking skinny man smiled, took out a longsword from the bag he was carrying on his back and tossed it to Fang Xingjian, saying, “Did you just transition recently? To think that you dare to be so rash even though you are alone. Seems like you’ve suffered quite a bit.”

Fang Xingjian swung the longsword casually for a bit. Not answering the question, he asked instead, “Where are you guys heading to next? Have those Garcia people retreated successfully?”

“Not yet,” The green haired lady said. “They were suppressed by us and are now retreating at full speed towards the Kremlin Coast. We are now pushing in on them and gathering towards the coast. It’s said that General Oliperth plans to eradicate them there.”

Oliperth was the Western Garrison’s commander and also the highest in command in this battle. At the same time, he was also the guy whom Huang Lin had secretly asked to provide guidance to Fang Xingjian on his Waves.

Seeing that Fang Xingjian did not say anything, the green haired lady looked at him again. Looking at the burn wounds he had and how dirty his Knight attire was, she shook her head and said, “Forget it, you can come along with us. If you’re to go on alone like this, you’ll end up being eaten up by those Black Devils.”

The guy in the black suit, who was standing on guard on the tree, said in discontent, “We don’t have the time to guide novices. He’ll slow down our speed.”

The green haired Knight smiled and said, “He’s considered outstanding to be able to come all the way here by himself. He’s not likely to drag us down.”

The black suit guy let out a helpless sigh, looked at Fang Xingjian and said, “If you drag us down, we won’t stay to wait for you.”

Fang Xingjian said with indifference, “The same can be said to you.” Swinging his longsword, he tossed away his lousy sword from before and kept the new one in his sheath.

Fang Xingjian threw a glance towards the four of them. He was currently injured and was not familiar with the directions to Kremlin Coast. Moreover, if they were to proceed on, they were likely to meet more and more Black Devils. He decided that he should really stay together with a team of Knights for now.

The green haired Knight laughed, “Alright, let’s make a move quickly. If we’re late, it might already be over by then. I haven’t killed enough of those Black Devils.”
