Chapter 471: Chapter 471 Are You Trying to Stew Us?
The hunting target of the Lamia was the Fierce Land Shark, and since neither she nor the Lamia knew each other, they should be able to leave here safely as long as they didn’t provoke them.
Yang Yu displayed a friendly smile to show goodwill while observing llen’s reaction.
If llen was determined to pursue them, Lotcar’s Mortal Wolf Body was no match for the Steel Bones of the Sand Sailing Ship, which would chase them around like small pigs.
As for fighting with the Lamia…
If it was a mob attack by ordinary people, Yang Yu and his team might still stand a chance to fight.
But llen had just demonstrated her Skill, clearly telling Yang Yu that if they dared to run away, she could catch them silently at any ti.
Under any circumstances, making enemies with the Lamia Clan in the desert was the worst choice.
Looking at llen intently, Yang Yu could sense a unique maturity about her.
Facing Yang Yu’s statent, llen just stood there motionlessly, her one eye reflecting Yang Yu’s figure.
A suffocating oppression attacked Yang Yu, as if llen was telling him that, under her watch, any clumsy disguise was only futile.
Realizing this, Yang Yu cast aside his humility, smiling yet not smiling,
“To be honest, having complete gratitude for you lot is simply impossible.”
llen remained silent, quietly watching Yang Yu, her piercing gaze as if trying to see right through him, but the more this was the case, the less Yang Yu could cower.
“Ultimately, it’s impossible that the Fierce Land Shark should appear in the center of the desert. It was you group of Hunters who drove the Fierce Land Shark to this region. If it weren’t for you, my companions and I would have crossed this desert normally.”
“So you’re saying, this is our fault?” llen crossed her arms, “I didn’t make it run over here either. And it never crossed my mind that it would desperately choose to run into the desert uninhabited by humans.”
“That’s its instinct; it knew if it didn’t flee, it would end up as your al, so it panicked and chose to risk its life by running into the uninhabited desert.
Let ask a question, there’s a person practicing throwing darts in the open air, suddenly a gust of wind blows, the dart goes off target, and hits soone, who do you think is responsible?”
llen thought for a mont and answered, “Both?”
“Different people see it differently,
So people think that the person throwing the dart was doing fine, and it was the wind that caused the dart to go off target, so bla the wind. So people think the wind was fine, it was you who insisted on practicing darts in the open air, which ended up hitting soone, so bla the person.
Of course, there are those who think it’s the passerby’s fault, why would you choose to walk there.
You and I share the sa view.
That ans, we still have sothing to discuss.”
Yang Yu smiled,
“I admit, if in the end you hadn’t intervened to help, my team and I would have barely survived, much like the person throwing the dart and the one hit by it, even if the dart thrower kindly paid the dical bills, the one hit can’t genuinely feel grateful.”
Touching upon the point, Yang Yu changed the topic,
“I have heard a bit about the situation between Humans and the Lamia.”
No matter the race, there will always be a few fools, and I find it extrely foolish to hastily elevate conflicts between individuals to conflicts between races because of these few.
While searching for your Sand Sailing Ship, I was actually quite anxious…
But now, I’m completely reassured.
I don’t want to say much more, but if you really wanted to do sothing to us, you would have acted a mont ago.”
“Roar,” llen looked at Yang Yu with interest, “Aren’t you afraid that I ca just to test your depth and then decide whether or not to eliminate you?”
“If you really ant that, we would resist just like that Fierce Land Shark, and although we might not be able to handle you, causing so of your crew to suffer wouldn’t be a problem.”
After Yang Yu finished speaking, llen suddenly grinned and burst into loud laughter,
“Hahahaha, I’ve been sailing for many years, and this is the first ti I’ve t soone who dares to speak to like that. This is interesting—a giant wolf, three humans, two elves, and a Sli; quite a rare combination indeed.”
Using his index finger to wipe the tears of laughter from his eyes, llen showed a friendly smile to Yang Yu and his company, saying:
“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you. The only reason I ca here is that I am simply interested in you and the giant wolf by your side.”
“If you’re lusting after our bodies, forget it.”
Of course, when Yang Yu ntioned lusting, he ant it literally; he was truly afraid that llen had his eyes on his companion, Lotcar.
If llen took a big pot, added so mint, and stewed Lotcar, where then could he find such a convenient mode of transportation?
“I think you misunderstand sothing.” llen’s tail lightly slapped the sandy ground, excited, “I just want to know why that tired giant wolf could instantly recover its status, and why you could burst out with such astonishing speed at that mont. What exactly did you do to him?”
Lotcar’s physical condition could still be easily explained, but explaining the title that he himself held was sowhat complicated.
“This might be quite a lengthy story; if you’re willing to listen, I’m willing to talk. The weather is so hot, my team and I need to rest for a while, and with you here, you can ensure our safety.”
Facing him without fear, llen’s evaluation of Yang Yu went up a notch.
In her early years, when llen sailed with the troops, she had also served as part of the vanguard; the terrifying scar on her face was from her youthful ignorance and fearlessness.
After becoming a captain, her inscrutable beauty, coupled with the fearso scar, exuded an indescribable aura of authority that invariably inspired awe in any traveler who saw her.
The actions and words of Yang Yu were indeed unique to her.
Humans were not a species llen was unfamiliar with; she had even seen quite a few.
Just as Yang Yu said, there were people who visited their village to hunt for slaves, and even tried to intercept the Sand Sailing Ships to capture them.
Those people also showed no fear on their faces, at least not before their death.
But those people were not representative of the main tone of those visiting the Lamia village; the majority of the humans they interacted with brought many materials hard to obtain in the desert, allowing them to live a relatively affluent life in this barren desert.
In addition, occasionally, fearless human adventurers would cross the vast desert to visit them.
In her youth, llen even fell for a human, but those old stories are better left untold.
