Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

The monster's actions exposed the soft parts of its head, providing a perfect opportunity for a fatal blow.

The arrow was released from the bowstring.

But the next second, something unexpected happened to the girl.

The scales on the monster's head merged together, forming an indestructible armor that deflected the arrows.

She didn't react for a moment and could only watch helplessly as the gaping maw came hurtling towards her.

"Shayou!!" the boy on the ground roared in despair.

But the expected scene did not occur.

The black and red miasma flashed by, and the monster's head split in two, flying through the air.

That was Lu Ye, who used the Ashina Cross Slash at the crucial moment beside the carriage.

The extremely violent Iai Slash instantly severed the monster's head.

In the face of the Mortal Blade, the monster's scales are as fragile as bubbles.

"Wow, that's amazing..."

How could it kill a dangerous species with a single blow?

The boy in the distance was so surprised he couldn't close his mouth.

"Are you okay?"

Violet reached out her hand to the girl on the roof of the carriage.

"I'm...I'm saved."

The girl was brought back to her senses by Violet's voice.

Looking at the corpse of the dangerous creature on the ground, she slumped down on the roof of the carriage and let out a long sigh of relief.

Chapter 162 Conversation in the Train Car

Once the danger was over, the coachman emerged from behind a tree, his eyes gleaming as he stared at Lu Ye.

"That really scared me! Thank you so much... otherwise my horse would be gone!"

"You're welcome," Lu Ye said with a smile. "Could you give me a ride?"

"Of course, no problem!"

The coachman's attitude towards Lu Ye underwent a complete 180-degree change.

He took the opportunity to hide while the boy and girl were dealing with the dangerous creature.

He originally wanted to run away, but he couldn't bear to leave his carriage, so he decided to observe whether the two people could defeat the dangerous creature.

Unexpectedly, the person who ultimately killed the dangerous species was not one of the two passengers on the bus, but the young man they met on the way.

He didn't see clearly how Lu Ye made his move; he only saw a flash before his eyes, and then the monster's head split open, splattering blood everywhere.

With such a powerful person on board, there's no need to fear encountering robbers or monsters on the journey.

"But please wait a moment, the horses are frightened."

The coachman chuckled as he tried to calm the frightened horses.

Lu Ye nodded in acknowledgment, then went to the boy's side to observe his condition.

"Are you alright?"

“Thank goodness…” the boy raised the short sword in his hand, “It blocked most of the impact for me, so it’s just an external injury.”

"Really? That's good."

A moment later, the coachman calmed the horses down, and everyone entered the carriage.

The coachman raised the reins, and the carriage set off again.

The interior of the wooden carriage is not small, with horizontal boards on both sides serving as seats, easily accommodating four people.

Lu Ye and Violet sat on the left, while the boy and girl sat on the other side.

“Um… my name is Iyeas, and this is my companion, named Sayu,” the boy said.

"Hello." The archer girl nodded shyly.

"My name is Lu Ye."

"I am Violet."

The two sides introduced themselves.

"Thank you so much for earlier... That dangerous species was probably around level one, which is far beyond what Sayu and I could have fought against." Ieyas's expression showed lingering fear. "If it weren't for you, we would probably be in grave danger."

Sha You's expression was also somewhat embarrassed.

I was hoping to seize the opportunity to kill the dangerous species instantly, but I didn't expect to be tricked by that monster.

If it weren't for Lu Ye, she would probably be minced meat in the belly of a dangerous creature by now.

"It's nothing. Actually, you're quite strong, you just don't have a good weapon."

This was not a compliment. Lu Ye, who had experience with blacksmithing, could tell that Ieyas's basic skills were very solid. If those initial slashes had been delivered with a sharp longsword, the dangerous creature would probably have been seriously injured long ago.

Sha You's bow and arrows were also very rudimentary, clearly made on the spot.

It's truly remarkable that such a makeshift bow could achieve such accuracy.

Upon hearing Lu Ye's words, both of them looked away, embarrassed.

"Well... we did have weapons, but we were tricked."

"You've been scammed?"

After Iyeas gave a brief description, Luye roughly understood what had happened.

In short, the two men in front of them encountered bandits while looking for an inn. Under the man's sweet talk, they followed him to the bandits' camp, where their money and weapons were confiscated. Although they escaped after a fight, they were left with only some coins and an ordinary short sword they had brought from the camp.

Not only that, they also seem to have gotten separated from one of their companions.

They originally left the village together as a group of three, but now only two of them remain.

Iyeas sighed deeply.

"Those weapons were carefully prepared by the blacksmith uncle for a long time, and they're just gone like that."

Sha You looked dejected: "The money was pooled together by everyone in the village to help us with our journey..."

"But speaking of which, why did you leave the village for the capital?" Violet asked.

In her opinion, staying at home is a good thing, with a soft bed and all kinds of delicious food.

"Because the capital is prosperous!" Sha You suddenly perked up. "As long as we make money there, we can save the village!"

"Save the village...?"

Violet tilted her head, her golden hair falling over her fair neck.

Sha You felt somewhat ashamed of her own in comparison to that innocent and beautiful appearance.

"No, that's right. Over the years, the village has become increasingly poor. The harvests are low, and the taxes are high. If this continues, everyone will not be able to survive. But it will be different if we have money. With money, everyone in the village can live a happy life. So we are going to the capital. I heard that it is very prosperous there. The emperor of this country lives there!"

"I see. But how do you plan to make money?"

Lu Ye asked curiously.

He could tell that Iyeas and Shayou were still quite naive, otherwise they wouldn't have been so easily deceived by the bandits.

For now, the only redeeming quality these two possess is the martial arts skills they honed in the border villages.

Iyeas answered Lu Ye's question.

"If you want to make money, you have to stand out from the crowd. So, the natural choice is to join the army!"

"join the army……"

"Yes, join the army. Only by making meritorious contributions can you be promoted quickly in the army and receive a considerable reward."

"I see," Lu Ye nodded.

Although they are a bit simple-minded, with their martial arts skills, they should have no problem getting a minor officer position in the army.

"Hmph, forget it!"

Just then, the driver in front spoke up.

"I'm not trying to discourage you, but the capital is a place even more dangerous than the Danger Zone. Even if you're highly skilled in martial arts, without connections in the army, getting promoted is almost impossible," the coachman said disdainfully. "It's not a place for simple-minded country bumpkins!"

"It's alright, Shayou and I will definitely make a name for ourselves!" Ieyas said confidently. "But give me a decent weapon, and I can even take down a Level 1 Dangerous Species!"

“That’s right, we heard from the people in the village who came back from the capital that this is something ordinary soldiers could never do!” Sha You was also very confident.

"Whatever you say."

Seeing that his advice was useless, the driver didn't say anything more.

But the coachman's words piqued Lu Ye's interest.

He climbed out of the carriage and asked, "Um... excuse me, what do you mean by the capital being dangerous?"

"Humans... Human hearts are far more terrifying than dangerous creatures. The capital is full of people who eat people without spitting out the bones!" the coachman said with a sigh. "I've been a coachman for over ten years, and I regularly transport goods from the capital. I've seen many country bumpkins like him go to the capital full of confidence, only to return with nothing, or even lose their lives... It's a corrupt place."

Chapter 163 The Name of Esdeath and the Imperial Arms

The journey was long, and the group chatted idly, passing the time.

However, through this conversation with the coachman, Lu Ye learned about the general background of this world.

This world is not only inhabited by humans, but also by powerful monsters.

Humans initially named the various-looking monsters, but later, perhaps finding this too troublesome, they simply categorized them into five levels based on their level of danger. From lowest to highest, these are Level 3 Dangerous Species, Level 2 Dangerous Species, Level 1 Dangerous Species, Extremely Dangerous Species, and Super Dangerous Species.

Generally speaking, the most dangerous species are the most powerful, even possessing the ability to destroy a city.

Even the weakest level three dangerous species, though only slightly stronger than wild beasts, are still beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.

The creature that attacked the carriage earlier was a Level 1 Dangerous Species.
