Chapter 45

PS: Thank you for the support from "Death Immortal"! I'm very grateful!

...

The three riders flew a thousand meters ahead in the sky, while the three Blemmye brothers followed far behind, forming a strange combination. Lei Ying was fully aware of the situation along the way, and the route he led was basically a straight line. Even if they encountered various wild monsters, they were all scared away by the rumbling footsteps of the Blemmye giants, and no wild monster dared to block the path of the Blemmye giants. Those who dared to block were turned into evolution light spheres and absorbed by the Blemmye.

At first, the three Blemmye brothers were highly alert, with the Blemmye giant leading the way, the weakest Blemmye third brother in the middle, and the second brother bringing up the rear. However, as they moved forward without any problems, they began to doubt whether they had misjudged the situation.

"Big brother, we've been walking for half a day, and it seems there's really no problem," said Blemmye third brother.

"Don't rush. How long has it been? Third brother, you've been around for a short time, so you still have a lot to learn," the Blemmye giant said, looking up at the sun that was about to set. He took the opportunity to teach the third brother: "The night is the most dangerous time. Be alert even when you're sleeping, and don't get ambushed."

"Big brother, third brother, look." Seeing the three riders flying low towards them, Blemmye second brother immediately said.

"Let's see what they have to say."

"Powerful Blemmye warriors, the sun is about to set. I suggest we rest here for the night and set out again at dawn tomorrow," Liu Siyi said, riding on the Lei Ying, stopping at a distance from the Blemmye brothers. "We'll rest in the forest ahead. If there are any problems, you can call out to us loudly."

"Alright, we understand," the Blemmye giant said.

After Liu Siyi left and saw the three riders land in the forest below, Blemmye third brother whispered, "Big brother, second brother, do you feel like they are being cautious of us?"

This time, the distance between the two sides exceeded a thousand meters, and even the loudest voice wouldn't be heard by the other side.

The Blemmye giant didn't answer immediately but checked the surroundings. Although there were some hills and trees, they didn't pose a threat. He then replied, "This is a normal thing. If they weren't cautious of us, it would be a problem."

Tomorrow morning, they would reach the forest where the mantises were located. Thinking about the battle between the Blemmye and the mantises, Liu Siyi felt a strange mix of excitement and tension.

Two tigers fighting, one must be injured. The Blemmye had a high-level Blemmye giant, while the mantises had more numbers. It was unknown what the outcome of their encounter would be.

In his heart, he subconsciously wanted to seal the Blemmye. After all, having played Heroes of Might and Magic for ten years, the gap between mantises and Blemmye was too large. Even knowing the current situation, it was impossible to change it immediately. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ordered the Lei Ying to reach the Blemmye's location first, without even realizing it himself.

Taking advantage of the rest time, Liu Siyi called Liya and Lina over and taught them all the magic he knew that they could learn. Regardless of the effectiveness of this cramming-style teaching, he would teach them first. Whether they could perform well in tomorrow's battle would depend on their talent, but he would see how it went.

The night passed without incident. Early the next morning, Liu Siyi and his three riders flew high into the sky and saw the Blemmye brothers already ready to go.

"Powerful Blemmye warriors, did you rest well last night?" Liu Siyi called out from a distance.

"Don't use your human ways. Let's hurry up and get on the road."

Blemmye second brother's words made Liu Siyi choke on his saliva, and he didn't say anything more, turning to fly directly.

They were approaching the forest where the mantises were located. With the Lei Ying's reminder, Liu Siyi had already discovered it from a great distance.

This forest was very large, so large that it couldn't be seen from the sky. It was more like a vast forest. After hearing the Lei Ying's description, he learned that the forest covered an area of over 400 kilometers. From the eastern edge of the forest, it was only a few dozen kilometers to the orc castle. One side of the forest was next to a towering mountain, and every tree was enormous, with some reaching heights of several dozen meters or even over a hundred meters, and the smallest being about ten meters tall. The branches and leaves were lush, making it an ideal habitat for mantises.

Liu Siyi led the way in the sky, naturally encountering rivers and mountains along the way. Whenever he encountered such terrain, he would detour around it, and the Blemmye following behind were also unbothered. So this time, Liu Siyi also detoured around the mountain, flying over the forest.

However, the Blemmye were different. Ordinary Blemmye were over ten meters tall, the smallest Blemmye third brother was over twelve meters tall, Blemmye second brother was fifteen meters tall, and the Blemmye giant was an astonishing twenty-two meters tall. Regardless of the terrain, they would use their strong bodies to crash through any obstacles. So, even facing the vast forest, the Blemmye had no intention of detouring and charged straight in, creating a path.

He had led them to the location, but now two scenarios arose: one was the Blemmye battling the mantises, and Liu Siyi reaping the benefits. The other was if the mantises were not at home, or in the wrong location, or for other reasons did not encounter the Blemmye, what would they do?

These questions only came to mind after entering the forest, and Liu Siyi instantly furrowed his brow. He hadn't prepared in advance. If he had known the forest was so vast, he wouldn't have come this way.

"Slow down, maintain a steady pace," Liu Siyi ordered.

He had used reconnaissance magic while flying on the Lei Ying before, but that was when the Lei Ying was flying extremely slowly and steadily. Now, flying at high speed, Liu Siyi could only try.

Hmm? There's nothing? How is that possible?

The Lei Ying said there were, so there must be. It wouldn't lie to him; it had seen them with its own eyes. At this moment, a message from the inheritance came, stating that mantises were born with advanced camouflage skills.

Damn! What to do now? In such a vast forest with only four mantises, the chances of encountering them were extremely low.

As the saying goes, if there's an opportunity, take it; if there's no opportunity, create one. To ensure the battle went smoothly, Liu Siyi and his group had to take a risk.

Lower the flight altitude to lure the mantises to attack.

His mind raced, and soon, Liu Siyi made a decision: use himself as bait to lure the mantises.

Among the seventh-tier units, mantises were known as lightning killers, which gave an idea of their prowess.

The three riders were highly tense, staring at the forest below. After all, they were facing a seventh-tier unit known as a lightning killer. If they were ambushed, there was no chance of survival. Liu Siyi also cast Lightning Speed on everyone, so they could quickly dodge if suddenly attacked.
