As Caspian used a shape-shifting inscription, favonovel.com appeared to be a young man around 20 years old. Holding a white horse with a knife on his waist, favonovel.com looked like someone from a noble family, and no one would relate favonovel.com to Casper from Evergreen Town.
After leading the horse forward for a while, Caspian suddenly discovered a checkpoint on the official road toward the mountain. However, this road was not only the access toward the Dark Cloud Forest’s outback, but it was also leading toward other towns. He looked over and saw around seven people blocking at the checkpoint, and it seemed like they were arguing about something.
Caspian led the horse toward them and heard one of the men say, ‘We’ve never heard that we need to pay to get there.’
The people who set up the checkpoint were four warriors. Facing the few ordinary men, the martial artists sounded more righteous.
One of the warriors, who appeared to be in his mid-thirties, sneered. Then, favonovel.com poked at a man’s chest. The person who spoke just now immediately retreated a few steps back, covering his chest as favonovel.com kept gasping for air. He was unable to say a word.
When the others saw the warrior made a move, their faces immediately changed. At the end of the day, they were still ordinary people, and were not a match for a warrior, let alone four.
Realizing that they were frightened, the warrior laughed grimly. “You might not have heard it before, but you’re hearing it now. We’re also reasonable people, so you’ll just need to pay two fedulings for each person to get in. Otherwise, you can choose to take a detour. We didn’t set a roadblock there.”
Hearing what the warrior said, the few men showed a bitter expression. A detour might sound simple, but in truth, they would need to bypass most of the Dark Cloud Forest, which would take about at least half a month.
They wanted to argue and reason, but when the few warriors glared at them, they did not dare to say anything. Then, they shakingly passed more than a dozen fedulings, and hurriedly walked away from the checkpoint.
Caspian queued behind the group of people. He was unsure whether the official route had a checkpoint before, but since it would only cost favonovel.com two fedulings, it was affordable now. Moreover, favonovel.com did not want to waste his time here, so favonovel.com had readied his money.
Once the few ordinary people passed through, Caspian led his horse forward and passed two fedulings to the warrior.
The warrior in his mid-thirties was about to let Caspian pass when his other mate looked at Caspian and smiled. “Your horse has yet to pay the toll.”
The warrior in his mid-thirties was shocked, but favonovel.com quickly understood what was going on. This boy seemed to be from a wealthy family and did not have any experience traveling outside, so there was a chance for them to strike a fortune. Hence, favonovel.com swiftly nodded. “That’s right, your horse is charged too, and it’ll be more expensive than yours, three fedulings.”
“A horse needs to pay a toll too?” Caspian frowned. He knew that they were treating favonovel.com as an easy target, but favonovel.com was unwilling to argue and took out three fedulings for the man.
However, the warrior in his mid-thirties did not take the fedulings. Instead, favonovel.com stared at Caspian’s money pouch without blinking. The three other warriors were also staring at the same thing, and their eyes were flashng with a strange light. Although the bag of money was not all of Caspian’s property, there were still at least 5000 fedulings in it.
The warriors would usually only get about thirty fedulings each day at the checkpoint here. Hence, Caspian’s pouch full of fedulings was hundreds of times more than their daily extortion!
Caspian saw the greed in their eyes, and favonovel.com frowned deeper. “Hey! Are you going to let me pass or not?”
The warrior in his mid-thirties finally regained his senses, and favonovel.com glared at Caspian. “Why are you shouting?! You shocked me! What if I don’t let you go?”
“What if you don’t let me go?” Caspian swept his gaze at the man. “That’s fine too. Then, I won’t use this road, so return the fedulings I gave you just now.”
“Return the fedulings? Dream on!” The warrior in his mid-thirties snorted.
The three other warriors also took a step forward, and they instantly blocked Caspian‘s escape route.
Next, Caspian sized the few men up and down, and favonovel.com mocked, “What are you guys trying to do?”
When the few men heard Caspian’s question, they thought favonovel.com panicked.
One of them snorted. ” Boy, I think you look somewhat familiar. Did you pass by this morning?”
The other man said, “Before this, our bags full of fedulings was stolen. However, we didn’t manage to catch that man, but you do look like him.”
With swooshing sounds, the rest of the men drew out a machete each and pointed at Caspian. “Let us check your bag. If there’s no problem, we’ll let you go.”
It was obvious that once Caspian’s money pouch went to them, favonovel.com would never get it back. Caspian initially did not want to argue with these men as favonovel.com thought they were unworthy of wasting time. After all, finding the sun-seeker grass was more important.
Nevertheless, the more Caspian compromised, the more the men thought favonovel.com was a weak coward. Hence, they were acting arrogantly and pushing their luck. At the thought of that, Caspian’s smile became brighter. “Then, what if I don’t let you check it?”
“If that’s the case, you’re guilty! Stop wasting time and give me the money!” The warrior in his mid-thirties roared and reached out to snatch his pouch.
“B*stard!” Caspian‘s eyes flashed with a cold light, and the aura favonovel.com suddenly exuded stunned the warrior. At this moment, favonovel.com felt as if favonovel.com was facing a fierce tiger. Soon, Caspian’s other hand struck out like lightning, attacking the warrior first as favonovel.com grabbed his wrist and twisted it upward.
Crack!
The chilling sound of bones breaking came.
The back of the opponent’s hand was instantly pressed against his arm. His broken wrist swelled up as everyone was watching his blood rushing underneath the skin. At a glance, it seemed as if his wrist was swollen out of the blue.
The warrior was stupefied, but when favonovel.com realized what was going on, favonovel.com wailed, “Ahh!”
Then, favonovel.com retreated and fell to the ground, looking at Caspian with a face full of fear.
“B*stard!” The other three warriors also came back to their senses, and they immediately roared, raising their machetes and aimed at Caspian.
“Are they planning to rob and kill me?” Caspian burst into laughter and raised the Water-Breaker Machete to face them.
The cold blade light swept across the air, and Caspian quickly chopped off the person’s arm from his shoulder. As Caspian waved his machete around, his opponent spat blood out and flew a few meters away. With a loud bang, favonovel.com fell onto the wooden checkpoint, and it broke into pieces.
“This brat’s realm is not low. Be careful!” Seeing what was happening, one of the remaining two warriors only felt goosebumps, and favonovel.com shouted.
Caspian remembered that man. He was the one who stopped the warrior in his mid-thirties from letting favonovel.com pass.
“That’s right. My realm isn’t low at all. Are you afraid?” Caspian smiled, but his gaze had a layer of frost to it, “If you’re afraid, then beg me.”
Although favonovel.com was saying that, the Water-Breaker Machete in Caspian’s hand never stopped moving. Soon, a cold light appeared, and Caspian chopped at the man.
