Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 22 Change of plan
Two huge humanoid creatures were walking in the front, they were the trolls.

His dirty hair was scattered like a hedgehog, and a few whiskers hung on his face.

He was completely naked, with shriveled muscles and skin barely clinging to his body, and dirt and dust covered his gray-red body.

A huge iron wedge pierced through his body from the back and came out from the front.

The other end is connected to an iron chain, dragging a huge mobile coffin of the same type as the one at the front of the level.

But the most peculiar thing is that the mountain monsters' stomachs were hollowed out, with no internal organs visible, and they were exposed to the air. No one knows how they managed to survive.

And behind them, there was a large group of people escorting the coffin.

There were nobles wandering in groups, Grek soldiers holding torches high, and Kaidan mercenaries patrolling back and forth on war horses.

They blocked Bai Shi's path. Calculating the distance, by the time Bai Shi arrived at the bridge, they would probably have already been on the bridge.

The bridge was not wide, and the two mountain monsters almost completely blocked the road. There was no space to run or dodge, and if you wanted to jump over from the side, you would just be a sitting duck.

The other side has a large number of troops and a complete range of arms.

There are highly mobile cavalry, magicians who can cast spells, and shield-bearing soldiers who can fight in close combat. There are many more people than in the game.

But the front of the level is not full of clumsy infantry. Once a battle begins, it may be difficult to escape.

The frontal breakthrough method was rejected by Bai Shi because it was too risky.

After all, it’s different from the game. In the game, you can just run over to them and it’s okay.

But now if I still think that I can run over there as easily as in the game, it may be unrealistic.

It would not be a good idea to wait for them to pass by the bridge before going over, as the team was moving too slowly.

The two mountain monsters moved slowly and reluctantly in front. The wandering nobleman, whose body was almost rotten, walked with a limp and fell behind the team in a sparse manner.

The entire team was stretched out very long, and there were Kaidan mercenaries patrolling back and forth in front of and behind the team.

If you just wait for the mountain monster and the coffin to pass by and then rush across the bridge, you may be attacked from both sides, and your situation will be equally bad.

If you want to get across, you have to wait until they all cross the bridge. If you really do that, you will have to wait.

So Bai Shi decided to take a detour.

You can still get to the main road by following the shore of Lake Yakir from the right, avoiding the people on this side.

Although there is a flying dragon named Yakir in the lake, the coast is still quite safe and there are no dangerous monsters.

Bai Shi used a bird's-eye view to observe the route and found a small ramp leading to the lake shore.

It was repeatedly confirmed that there were no other monsters except a big crab and several terrestrial tunicates.

Bai Shicai then set off with peace of mind.
-
Following the shore of Lake Yakir, Bai Shi made his way to the main road leading to the Weeping Peninsula.

By the way, I found a blessing hidden in the bushes.

Bai Shi sat down in Ci Fu, took out the water bag and dried meat, and took a short rest.

Today we have experienced the fighting in front of the level, sold equipment to Curry, and rescued Burke.

It was getting late, already afternoon time.

Bai Shi hadn't eaten for a while, and his stomach was protesting with growling sounds.

Bai Shi was chewing the hard jerky while taking a break to clear his mind.

"We've wasted a little time taking a detour, and the magic teacher Seren is already behind us."

"There's no rush to learn magic, so I won't go to Selian for now."

"Then go directly to the Weeping Peninsula."

As far as I can remember, to get to the Weeping Peninsula, one has to cross a bridge called the Sacrifice Bridge.

There are a few soldiers stationed there, but not many.

But what Bai Shi was concerned about was the defensive weapons mounted on the bridge.

It was a long time ago, and you can just run over there in the game. Now I can't quite remember whether the things on the bridge were crossbows, catapults, or something else.

Bai Shi decided to wander around the bridge first to see what the situation was. If it was a weapon that did not pose much of a threat, he would just rush over.

If it's a weapon that poses a huge threat... we can only take it one step at a time.

To be honest, if there really is some powerful weapon, Bai Shi wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

He remembered that there seemed to be only one road leading to the Weeping Peninsula, the Sacrifice Bridge.

Bai Shi stood up, fed Torret some dried fruits made from Roya fruits, and touched its head.

Continue riding Torret on the road.

In just a few minutes, Bai Shi arrived at a slope.

This ramp is also the main road, but unlike the previous one, it is sandwiched between cliffs on both sides.

No, it should be said that this may be a road opened from the mountains, and it is very narrow.

At the end of the ramp is the Sacrifice Bridge. "This terrain is perfect for cavalry charges."

Bai Shi drove the Torret and rushed towards the bridge quickly.

The soldiers standing guard in the distance also spotted the charging Bai Shi and raised the alarm in a hoarse voice.

"Enemy attack! Shoot!"

“Whoosh—Boom!”

A crossbow arrow fell in front of Bai Shi. Although Bai Shi controlled Torret to turn in time, he was not hit by the crossbow arrow.

However, a large piece of stone tied to the arrow head of the crossbow exploded when it hit the ground.

The huge shock wave almost made Torrett lose his balance.

Feeling the scorching temperature, cold sweat broke out on Bai Shi's forehead.

"Damn, the explosive crossbow arrows are pretty accurate, I'm playing a game of trade!"

Before Bai Shi could finish his complaints, the next crossbow arrow was already shot over.

Bai Shi turned around and ran away without saying a word.

The sound of explosions and the shouts of soldiers rang out behind him, but it was of no use, as Bai Shi had already run away.
-
"Damn, the shooting interval is only a few seconds. For such a long distance, I have to dodge at least a dozen crossbow arrows."

"If I get hit by one, I'm afraid I won't be able to play this game."

Bai Shi returned to Ci Fu to think about countermeasures, and helped Torrett shave off the burnt hair on his butt.

Torrett couldn't see behind him, and looked at Bai Shi very anxiously, as if asking himself whether he was bald.

Bai Shi saw that Torrett's butt was already half naked, so he could only lie to comfort Torrett.

"Yeah, it's okay, I'm not bald, just a little burnt, and it's a little shorter after shaving, really."

Torret looked at Bai Shi with his big tearful eyes, and finally licked Bai Shi's face with his tongue.

Xiao Ma actually knows everything, but he just doesn’t say it T_T.

Seeing that he was exposed, Bai Shi laughed awkwardly twice.

After comforting Torret, Bai Shi began to think about how to break the impasse.

It's not that there is no chance if we force our way in head-on, but the risk is too great. If we get blown up, we'll get hurt, and it will be bad if Torrett gets hurt.

Bai Shi was recalling the details of what had just happened, when suddenly, something he had overlooked popped into his mind.

"Oh right, soul airflow!"

Bai Shi quickly stood up from the blessing and pulled Torrett towards the hillside.

After killing the three soldiers blocking the way, Bai Shi arrived at the sealed prison of the ownerless hound on the top of the hill.

Bai Shi was not here to challenge the Hound Knight. He bypassed the sealed prison and came to the edge of the cliff.

On the left, you can overlook the sacrificial bridge, and on the lower right, on the edge of a cliff, a stream of soul air is rushing straight into the sky.

"Haha, he's still here after all."

When playing the game before, Bai Shi had wandered there before. On the map, it looked like a small forest with a group of demi-humans living there.

On the opposite side of the soul airflow, several pillars of the huge ancient ruins building are still standing.

Use the soul airflow to jump over the sea that divides the two places below and land on the ruins. Then you can follow the path on the cliff opposite to reach the place behind the sacrificial bridge.

In the game, Bai Shi only skipped once and then teleported, so Bai Shi had forgotten that there was such a route.

It was not until he recalled the soul airflow he passed by while charging downhill just now that Bai Shi remembered this "evil path".

Bai Shi still remembers the excitement and joy he felt when he discovered this new route, and it is exactly the same as it is now.

Bai Shi rode on Torret, moving along the edge of the cliff, all the way down to the place where the soul airflow was.

Looking at the huge pillars of the ancient ruins building opposite, Bai Shi estimated that the pillars and the beams behind them were very wide, and it would be no problem for 4 or 5 people to walk side by side. As long as they got the direction right, they could easily jump over.

Bai Shi touched Torrett's head.

"Torret, can you jump over?"

Torrett snorted contemptuously, as if he was unhappy that someone looked down on him.

Torrett found the right position, took two steps back, then sprinted forward, then jumped and flew high into the sky on the soul airflow.

"Wuhu, take off!"

"Ahhh! You two idiots, what if you fall down!"

Bai Shi felt as if something was suddenly hugging his waist, and he seemed to hear Melina's voice in his ears?
Maybe it's an illusion.

　The defense of the Sacrifice Bridge has been strengthened. After all, the map has been enlarged, and the roadside has been several times longer. It is still difficult to break through the narrow area with defensive weapons with such range damage. The enemies are not as stupid as in the game. And the last jump road seems to have not been noticed by many people. After all, usually people go directly through the bridge. Going left here can lead to Irena, going right and down can lead to the vertical cave, and going up can lead to the south of the surveillance tower. I will recommend the next round tomorrow. Please give me some recommendation votes. Thank you meow^-^
