Chapter 574 The Logan Family

At this moment, Joan's arm was still a little numb, but fortunately he could barely raise it. Without thinking, he pulled out the revolver, raised his trembling right arm, and pointed the muzzle at the white-haired monster opposite.

The white-haired weirdo noticed his abnormal behavior, raised his head in surprise, and stared blankly at the muzzle of the gun, as if he was wondering what Joan was trying to do by lifting the black pipe.

boom!

Joan pulled the trigger, and the buckshot flew out of the gun, hitting the white-haired monster's undefended face, and blood spurted out.

The white-haired monster covered his face with his hands, screamed and fell to the snow.

Joan fired two more shots at him, until the white-haired monster stopped howling and lay motionless on the snow, and then he let out a long sigh of relief, and the arm holding the gun fell limply.

The corpse of the white-haired monster was soaked in blood, and the pool of blood was quickly frozen by the howling wind and snow.

Joan leaned back against the tree trunk, feeling weak and dizzy, and it took a while for her heartbeat and breathing to return to normal.

The pungent bloody smell in the air made him worry about attracting more predators.

Facts proved that his worries were not unfounded. Not long after killing the white-haired monster, there was a long and sharp scream from the opposite side of the hillside, which was clearly the strange scream that the white-haired monster made when it first appeared.

There was a long howl followed by another, echoing among the high mountains, overcoming the whistling of the wind and snow, and quickly approaching the area where Qiao An lived.

It is obvious that the white-haired monster entrenched on this snowy mountain is far more than the one Joan just shot. I don't know whether he heard the dying cry of the same kind or smelled the blood in the wind. A large group of white-haired monsters are coming here Come here.

Joan's nerves, which had been relaxed just now, tensed again, and he hurriedly refilled the bullets for the revolver, and then cast a spell to shoot an "invisibility" on his chest—if the "invisibility" could not help him avoid the white-haired monster's attack If you want to search and arrest, then you can only bite the bullet and fight desperately.

...

Qiao An was trapped in the snow-capped mountains. He was so preoccupied with fighting the large group of white-haired monsters that were about to arrive that he didn't notice that there was a caravan slowly moving forward on the mountain road that crossed the snow-covered mountains behind him.

There are more than 20 guards accompanying the caravan, all riding horses, with long knives at the waist and hips, and magic crystal shotguns on the back. The clothes and dresses show a strong Asa style.

The group of Asa knights was divided into two teams, front and back, and escorted a four-wheeled cart in the middle, but the trailer was not a horse, but a huge animal called "Highland Rose Beast".

Highland Rose beasts are rare in the warm climate in the south of the New World, but they are more important domestic animals than mules and horses in the icy and snowy northern mountainous areas.

The size of this animal is not inferior to that of a giant mammoth, but its appearance is similar to that of a yak. ​​The indigenous Asa people in the cold northern regions domesticated this large, gentle herbivore and used it as a camel beast for transporting bulk cargo.

Two Highland Rose beasts dragged the cart side by side, and walked steadily on the snow-covered mountain road. There were five large wooden boxes on the cart, all covered with animal skins, as if they were afraid that people would see what was in the box. Judging from the depth of the ruts left by the carts crushing the ice and snow, the five boxes of goods were quite heavy.

There is a lot of space in the car. In addition to the five boxes of goods, the carport is also propped up to shelter from the wind and snow. Two men and a woman are sitting under the carport, chatting in low voices.

At this moment, there was a sudden clear gunshot from the middle of the hillside ahead, which immediately aroused the vigilance of the three caravan leaders. They hurriedly got up and got out of the car shed, leaning on the railing of the car to look in the direction of the gunshot.

The leader of the three was a tall and burly man of the Asa nationality, about forty years old, with a thick beard and a bold and resolute temperament between his brows.

Standing beside the middle-aged man was a pair of young men and women. Judging from their skin color and similar appearance, they were obviously the sons and daughters of the middle-aged man.

The older youth inherited his father's handsome face, and his brilliant blond hair gave people a sunny and cheerful impression. Curiosity flashed in his eyes looking towards the snow-capped mountains, revealing an eagerness to try.

Next to the young man stood his sister. Although the girl was one year younger than her elder brother, her expression and demeanor were more stable. She was wearing a black men's hunting suit, her hair was cut to only an inch long, her skin was a healthy wheat color, and her pretty face was dignified and tall. There are a few freckles dotted on both sides of the bridge of the nose. If it weren't for the slight bulge of the chest, he might be mistaken for a handsome boy.

"Dad, Slude, did you hear? There seems to be gunshots on the other side of the mountain." The Asa youth said excitedly, "We'd better go there as soon as possible to see what happened!"

"Calm down, Haakon! Now is not the time to meddle in other people's business!" The beauty in men's clothing scolded her brother angrily, "We have very important goods to be escorted, and we must return to Shizhu Town within two weeks. An accident happened, how do you ask your father to explain to the patriarch!"

"Slude, don't be so nervous, please. In this generation, snow monsters often attack passers-by. I just want to see if anyone needs help on the snow mountain, and it won't delay our trip."

Haakon seemed to be a little afraid of his sister with a strong personality, and while defending, he cast a look of help at his father.

The father of the brothers and sisters remained silent, stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked sharply like a falcon at the place where the gunshots came, as if he was weighing the opposite opinions of the two brothers and sisters.

"No matter what, I firmly oppose wasting time here!" Slude's face darkened, and he solemnly warned his nosy elder brother, "This trip is different from the past, and you all know that the value of the goods on the car is as high as 60,000 gold. Duga is equivalent to the sum of the taxes of the entire town residents for three years, and the militiamen in the town are eagerly looking forward to getting these new weapons, we must not make any mistakes!"

"Slude, of course I agree with your cautious attitude, but we are already careful enough, and you don't need to scare yourself." Haakon smiled disapprovingly, and continued, "Snow monsters and beasts don't know how to play with guns." , The gunshot just now must have come from human hands. This is not a hunting ground. Travelers will only shoot in self-defense when they are in danger. It’s fine if I don’t hear the gunshot. Just a glance, maybe it can help."

"Whether others are in danger is none of your business! Haakon, you will suffocate if you don't join in the fun?" Slude was furious.

"It will really suffocate!" The blond young man responded sincerely to his sister's scolding, "Slude, you know me, I was born with such a warm heart."

Slude raised his hands to his forehead and had no choice but to give up persuading his elder brother who seemed to never grow up. He turned and said to his father seriously, "Dad, we have been harassed by robbers many times along the way, so we have to be more careful. The man on the opposite hillside just now A gunshot rang out...I don’t deny that it might have been fired by a passer-by, but I can’t rule out that it was a trap set by the robbers, trying to lure us away from the convoy and take the opportunity to rob the goods!”
