Fang Yue is staring at the fallen bull and half uprooted, half busted tree.
If that hit her, she can't imagine how miserable she would be.
It would've broken all her bones, leaving no chance of recovery.
She knows that Xiao Han would've stepped in but it still didn't affect the near death feeling that she had.
For that, she is grateful to Cloud. In the end, it's like Cloud is the one that saved her.
Fang Yue let out a small breath, turn to Cloud and said, "Thank you."
"No need. I saw an opportunity and I took it, that's all." Cloud look back at Fang Yue and said.
He is walking toward the bull to retrieve his short blade.
Actually, it was indeed what happened. He didn't do it because he was charmed by Fang Yue.
When the bull charged, it stop its head movements so he took the opportunity to strike.
Although Cloud replied nonchalantly, the grateful feeling doesn't go away from Fang Yue.
But since Cloud said to think nothing of it, then she wouldn't say anything further. She would only remember this and pay him back if there is an opportunity in the future.
Then the other two also come to Cloud.
"What the hell were you thinking, are no not afraid of death?" Said Xiao Han in a lecturing manner.
"I saw an opportunity and I felt like I could take it, so I did." Cloud shrugged.
"You do know that if you were hit, you would've suffer serious injuries right? Its not necessary to take that risk." Xiao Han added.
"I understand, I only did something that I think is within my capabilities. But I won't do it again." Cloud said that and backed out. He doesn't want to hear too much lecture so he did that.
He really didn't think that it was too big of a risk for him. But it's true that there are some risk.
Perhaps Cloud is just too bold because it is his second life. It's just how it always been since he came to this word.
There are many instances where he is in a near death scenario. But that also what makes his improvement so rapid.
Cloud think about this and whether he should be more careful in the future. But he feels like he's doing the right thing.
This much effort and pressure is just the right amount for him, currently.
Xiao Han only shake his head and say no more. Since Cloud said that he wouldn't do it again then there is nothing more to say.
He just wonders if Cloud have nine lives. To be this reckless at this age. Even he doesn't have any word for it.
"Forget it," Xiao Han said. "Let continue, we're late already."
Everyone then clean up and ride their horses.
Xiao Fan is closing in on Cloud and said, "That was amazing brother, teach me sometimes. To think that you're able to kill that tough bull."
Xiao Han glare at Xiao Fan when he said that.
His glare is literally saying, "Don't you dare learn such a thing!" But he doesn't say anything. Even so, everyone understands.
Xiao Fan just stick out his tongue at this. He ignore his brother and continue chatting with Cloud.
"Killing that bull is everyone's effort. I wouldn't be able to do it by myself." Cloud doesn't take any credit. What he said is true.
"But still... That last hit was very brave. Did you not feel fear when you did that?" Xiao Fan was rooted to the ground at that time. He can only watch.
"Really? I thought it was quite ordinary when I did that. But seeing it now, I guess it was quite reckless." Cloud casually replied.
Just when they continue chatting, the silhouette of a big city appears in front of them.
Everyone turn to watch in silence.
It is a very large city with a tall wall surrounding it. From afar, the city look white.
There are many towering buildings that can be seen from afar.
If compared to River City, it would be like heaven and dirt. Yes, like dirt not earth.
Xiao Fan and Fang Yue is stunned when they saw this. It's their first time seeing such a big and beautiful city.
Even Cloud is surprised. The size and magnificence is comparable to a modern big cities.
It is comparable to a big city in a big country.
But it has its own uniqueness.
It is a walled, medieval city after all. Its magnificence is comparable yet different from a modern day city.
As they get closer to the gate, they saw more clearly the towering city wall. It is at least ten meter high.
There are some guards at the gate with complete equipment like armor and weapons.
There are at least a dozen guards at this one gate alone. Their strength vary but Cloud feels like all of them are powerful.
There are a long line of people entering the city.
Cloud imagine that the process of entering should be similar to the process in River City.
But Xiao Han doesn't go to the back of the line.
He goes to the front right away, bringing the three.
Just when the guards is about stop him, Xiao Han take out a jade token and throw it at them.
One of the guard caught the token and he analyze it.
In just a second, he realize what it is and his face turn pale. He quickly bow his head while lifting the token with both hands above his head.
"Welcome to the city, senior!" Said the guard without lifting his head.
Xiao Han take the token from the guard's hands while moving forward without stopping. The others are following behind him.
Nobody dare to stop them. They pass the gate easily.
