After retiring, I became Loli’s magic mentor

Oda Yuki rode forward and said to Ryan:

"Mr. Lane, the Minggao realm is ahead, but because there are monsters everywhere, there are no people in sight. We have to hurry up."

Hearing this, Ryan nodded, which was exactly what he wanted: "Let's set off, and pay attention to the surrounding areas."

"Yes!"

After traveling for a while, not to mention Ryan, who has keen hearing, even the members of the caravan could clearly hear the screams of the monsters one after another.

Seeing the terrified faces of the caravan members, Ryan couldn't help but ask Oda Yuki:

"Oda, compared to the trade route you used to take, are there a lot more monsters this time?"

"Yes."

Oda Yuki swallowed, nodded and said: "There are already a lot of screams of monsters in twos and threes, but I have never heard so many screams before."

Oda Yuki couldn't help but be afraid. It was okay to encounter small monsters, but if they encountered medium-sized monsters, even if their group of caravan guards could deal with them, they would all fail.

Fortunately, most of the monsters travel alone. Otherwise, if they encountered two medium-sized monsters at once, none of them would be able to leave.

Looking at the terrified expressions of the caravan members, Ryan secretly thought that this was not possible. The more this group of people behaved like this, the easier it would be to delay their trip.

But, how to solve it?

"Roar!!"

At this moment, a huge roar came from not far ahead.

As soon as he heard this voice, Oda Xingdu shivered, not to mention the caravan members behind him, and immediately reined in their horses and stopped. The horses also retreated in fear, unable to calm down.

Oda Yuki turned his head and saw that the thin horse under Ryan's crotch was breathing fiery breath. Not only was he not afraid of Dao's roar, but his eyes flashed with fighting intent.

Seeing this, Oda Yuki couldn't help but said: "Mr. Lane, your horse is quite a strange horse."

Ryan did not respond, but silently raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

There is a high slope in front of him. With this high slope blocking his sight, Ryan still can't clearly see the appearance of the roaring monster.

However, according to Ryan's experience, the monster that made this cry should be a medium-sized monster called the Vermillion-spotted Lizard.

At this time, the cry was still echoing, and it was getting more and more anxious, as if it was... hunting?

Thinking of this, an idea flashed in Ryan's mind and he rode up the high slope. Oda was lucky to see this and quickly rode up to follow.

When Ryan rode up the high slope, he was startled when he saw the scene behind the high slope.

After Oda Yuki followed up, he was also stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

Because not far ahead, there were two giant lizards chasing a girl!

The two giant lizards are both ten feet long, extremely huge, and run extremely fast. Every time their steps hit the ground, they can make the ground tremble.

As expected by Ryan, these two giant lizards had dense red spots on their black skin. They were medium-sized monsters, the Vermillion-spotted Lizard.

The girl has long black hair and is wearing a white dress and a red skirt. The loose sleeves are tied tightly, and there are two red ropes tied under her breasts and around her neck, making the white dress on her upper body less monotonous.

Is this...a miko?

Ryan frowned slightly. This girl seemed to have practiced a lot, and her movements to avoid the attacks of the Vermilion-spotted Lizard were extremely nimble. However, it was impossible to avoid the Vermillion-spotted Lizard by relying on these alone.

The main reason is that this girl is holding a... huge egg in her arms!

That's right, it's a huge egg, as big as a person! Because the girl was holding the egg, the two red-spotted lizards did not dare to attack rashly.

Seeing this scene, Ryan was not in a hurry to step forward to help. Instead, he looked at Oda Yuki with a smile:

"She looks like she is the witch from Minggao. Do you know her?"

Oda Yuki took his eyes away from the miko and replied to Ryan:

"I know her. She is the daughter of Matsunomiya Hyakushu, the palace minister of Minggao Shrine, Matsunomiya Chiba."

The palace minister's daughter?

Ryan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why is the daughter of a palace minister running out to steal World of Warcraft eggs? She has nothing to do?"

Hearing this, Oda Yuki explained with a wry smile: "Matsumiya Momaki's wife was scratched in both eyes by a monster, causing her to become blind, and the toxin spread. To control the toxin, you need to use the eggs of the red-spotted lizard to make a potion. Otherwise, when the toxin invades the brain, death will be inevitable.”

"In that case, why did she come alone? Didn't Minggao arrange soldiers for her?"

Chiba Matsugiya was having an increasingly difficult time dealing with the two red-spotted lizards below, but Ryan still didn't take action and was chatting with Yuki Oda above.

When he heard that this girl was the daughter of a palace minister, Ryan had already decided to take action. Accepting the favor of a palace minister, he didn't know how much trouble he would save when he went to Minggao to purchase potions.

However, now is not the time to take action.

Oda Yuki scratched his head and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. Soldiers were arranged at first, but every time most of the soldiers had to die tragically in exchange for an egg. The gain outweighed the loss. As time went by, the superiors stopped arranging soldiers. Palace Secretary I don’t have military power, so it’s like this..."

Hearing this, Ryan smiled and said: "What do you mean, your caravan actually often sees her stealing eggs?"

"Yes."

"Then it seems that she should have her own way to escape."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult this time... I never thought she could run so far to steal the eggs, and she also encountered two red-spotted lizards. This time she may have a narrow escape."

With that said, Oda Yuki suggested to Ryan: "I'll let the caravan take a detour. Judging from her condition, she should be able to deal with these two monsters for a while. Let's take the opportunity to cross here."

"no need."

Ryan waved his hand and said: "Go back and tell the caravan to move forward immediately and cross the slope!"

"Can……"

Looking at the two red-spotted lizards below, Oda Yuki looked stiff.

"Go if you are told!"

"……Yes!"

Oda Yuki immediately returned to the caravan, while Ryan looked down. As expected by Ryan, within a moment, the exhausted miko finally made a mistake and fell to the ground, surrounded by two red-spotted lizards.

It's time to take action.

With this thought in mind, Ryan waved the reins, and the skinny horse, which had been unable to restrain itself for a long time, immediately neighed and galloped down!

——Is this the end?

Matsugiya Chiba fell to the ground panting, and there was a line of blood on her head due to the collision at some point, which blurred her vision. However, the foul smell of the two red-spotted lizards told her that the two red-spotted lizards were already dead. So close.

But even so, Chiba Matsugiya was still struggling to hold the huge egg.

"Roar--"

A red-spotted lizard roared, climbed forward, and waved its giant claws.

Chiba Matsugiya immediately closed her eyes tightly, preparing to welcome her fate.

At this moment, the neighing sound of a war horse resounded through the sky.
