"What did you say?!" When Liena heard this, she showed an incredulous expression and pointed her finger at herself, "I? Walking over? I still want to hold your mount for you?"
Not only her, but Merry and Tatanir also stared wide-eyed, unable to believe their ears.
This Lena is not an ordinary person. Although I didn't know her identity yesterday, she must be of high status when she goes out with so many female guards. Even if it were him, Cohen wouldn't be able to ask for help holding the mount. How could this happen?
Jia Zhengjin looked at Liena and said calmly: "You can't do something so simple if you didn't promise me just now? Then forget it, you can leave immediately and go find those guards."
Lina stared at him with wide eyes. After seeing that he didn't respond for a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! Who said I can't do it? Just wait!"
Sure enough, he sent his mount over, entrusted the Adventurer's Guild to take care of it, and then returned.
But when he arrived in front of the Shadow Leopard, he hesitated again.
Because the Shadow Leopard was no ordinary mount, as a monster, it exuded a terrifying aura, which made her fearful.
In the event of a sudden attack by a monster, even if you escape at such a close distance, you will be severely damaged.
"Why, you don't dare?" Looking at her hesitant look, Jia Zhengjin said with a smile, "If you don't dare, you can choose to give up!"
"Who says I don't dare?!" Reina took a deep breath, stuck the riding crop on her waist, cautiously approached the Shadow Leopard, and reached out to grab its reins.
Midway, the Shadow Leopard turned around and looked over. She was so frightened that she immediately retracted her hands and took a few steps back.
After a while, he plucked up the courage to approach again, but was glared at by the Shadow Leopard and then backed away in fear.
After several times in a row, Jia Zhengjin said impatiently: "Are you okay? If not..."
"Who says I can't do it?!" Lena took deep breaths several times and finally summoned up the courage to reach out tremblingly to grab the reins. During this period, she closed her eyes because she was too scared!
There is no way, the Shadow Leopard's eyes are too fierce, and with its pair of sharp fangs, most people don't dare to approach it at will.
When he grabbed the reins, he found that nothing was wrong and the Shadow Leopard did not attack him.
Lena slowly opened her eyes. After making sure she was safe, she took a breath for a while to allow her heart rate to stabilize.
Meili was sweating as she watched, at least she didn't dare to do it herself.
Tatanir also looked admiring, thinking Lena was very brave.
"It's taking time!" Jia Zhengjin looked dissatisfied, "If this continues, can such a simple task be completed today? Hurry and set off towards the west gate."
Lena was angry. If she was the only one talking to others like this, anyone who dared to treat her like this would have been whipped long ago.
But there was nothing I could do at the moment. I thought of the agreement and that I still wanted to get back the red stone necklace. I kept telling myself to be patient and not to get angry.
So he pulled the reins and carefully said to the Shadow Leopard: "Leaving?"
Don't dare to use too much force on your hands. What if the Shadow Leopard gets angry and attacks you?
Fortunately, the Shadow Leopard stood up, supported Jia Zhengjin, and walked slowly behind. If it didn't move, Liena wouldn't know what to do.
Merry and Tartaniel were confused about the situation and wondered who this person was? He looked like a nobleman, so how could he be willing to lead Captain Cohen's mount and obey his orders?
No matter how much I think about it, I can't figure it out. Could it be that Captain Cohen has some hidden identity?
This girl is obviously not happy, but she has to obey the leader's order. It feels so strange!
Following on horseback, the two female adventurers had doubts on their faces.
Lena walked in front, holding the reins with one hand, covering her face with the other, and her head lowered.
Although I don’t come to Tongshan City very often, so not many people should know me, but the daughter of the dignified lord of Seaside City actually leads a mount for someone else. It’s really embarrassing! I hope not to be recognized. I hope no businessmen from Seaside City appear here.
!
I was pretty lucky. I didn't meet anyone who knew me until I got near the city gate.
The team successfully exited the customs and moved along the road toward the strange rock forest defense line in the west.
After leaving the city and entering the avenue, Jia Zhengjin suddenly said: "Meili, Tatanir!"
"Yes!!" the two replied subconsciously.
"You're walking too slowly, that's not the way to go! Although the mission is not far away, we can't waste time. Let's run!" After the words fell, he directly drove the Shadow Leopard and rushed forward.
Lena was walking in front silently with her head lowered. When she heard this, she was about to turn back when she felt the Shadow Leopard start running. She loosened the reins reflexively, and the next second she saw the black shadow flashing past in front of her.
Everyone was confused.
Meili and Tatanir were also stunned, not knowing what was going on. But they didn't want to be left behind by Jia Zhengjin, so they chased after her, trying to get Liena to get on the horse.
Unexpectedly, Jia Zhengjin's voice came from the front: "Lena, why are you dawdling? Use your legs to run and follow! If you ride a horse, the agreement will be invalid!"
Hearing this, Merry and Tatanir couldn't understand it even more.
Lena originally felt warm in her heart when she saw Merry and Tartaniel reaching out, but when she heard these words, she was immediately furious. But she suppressed her anger for the necklace and ran away.
After all, he is a master of both magic and martial arts, and his warrior professional training is not low. Although he cannot catch up with the speed of the Shadow Leopard, and even cannot match the speed of the horses under Meili and Tartaniel, at least he can barely follow behind.
It won't be so thrown that you can't see the shadow.
Mellie and Tatanir felt that Cohen's behavior was a bit excessive. How could a girl be allowed to run and catch up with the mount? But when they saw the Shadow Leopard running very fast in front of them, they were worried that they would not be able to keep up, so they could only chase after them.
Look back at Lena.
Liena gritted her teeth and followed behind. She hated Jia Zhengjin so much that she wanted to cut him into pieces if possible. Just thinking about the red stone necklace, she suppressed her anger and chased after him aggrievedly.
However, the dust raised by the mount made her feel particularly choking, and she became even more angry.
Even so, Jia Zhengjin in front had no intention of stopping and waiting. He just kept running at this speed for several kilometers, and finally arrived at the strange rock forest smoothly.
Merry and Tartaniel caught up with him one after another, looking back worriedly into the distance.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Lina was sweating profusely, covering her mouth and nose with one hand, and fanning herself continuously with the other hand to disperse the dust around her. She rushed to the three of them with an irritated look on her face, panting from exhaustion.
It’s pretty awesome! Even if Jia Zhengjin, Meili, and Tatanir didn’t let their mounts run at full speed, it would be extremely difficult to catch up all the way here.
"Are you okay?" Seeing her coming, Meili jumped off the horse and stepped forward to ask worriedly.
"You don't have to worry about it!" Liena avoided her, walked to Jia Zhengjin, raised her head and glared at him, without saying anything else.
Jia Zhengjin was all smiles: "Take a short rest and enter the strange rock forest immediately to do the task!"
