Chapter 5 Night Operation
After Su An jumped out of the iron cage, a cold wind rushed towards him, bringing the unique coldness of the northern snowy field.
Gazing into the distance, the iron cages dragged by Snow Nightmare were like long dragons, marching towards the end of the night.
The iron cage where Su An was in was not the first one. The entire caravan was divided into several long lines. He was just at the front of a certain long line. There was also an iron cage in front of him, which also imprisoned someone. Under the dim glow of the lantern, he could vaguely see that it was a short figure with mud stains on his face, and he was shivering in dried straws in the cold wind.
Taking a quick glance, Su An did not have any impression of this prisoner. To be precise, he did not have any impression of most of the people in this caravan.
After all, As a common mobile caravan in the Frigid Land of the North, the transport team of this "Lionheart Chamber of Commerce" not only carries goods, but also carries a large number of passengers. In terms of the total number of passengers, 70% belonged to the passengers who joined the caravan halfway. Because of the environment of the Frigid Land of the North, most people would not go on the road alone. Except for the steam iron track laid by the Steam sect, the only remaining mode of transportation was the ‘carpool service’ provided by mobile caravans.
And because the ticket price of the former (steam iron track) was expensive, mobile caravans were very popular among travelers. Of course, they also faced the threat of Desolate Bandits.
Su An did not delay, and with a light tap on his foot, his body jumped from his iron cage and landed firmly on the top of the iron cage in front.
Snapped!
The inevitable noise came from under Su An's feet and was submerged by the sound of horse hooves in front of him. However, this slight movement actually awakened the small figure in the iron cage below. It seemed that the guy was not asleep at all but in a state of panic.
Hearing the sound, the little figure who was curled up looked up. Under the dirty hood, a pair of shiny eyes saw the figure above his head. He couldn't help but be startled slightly, probably not understanding how the other party got out of the cage...
The next moment, the little figure saw Su An raising his index finger and placing it on his lips, making a gesture that was common in every world.
-Silence.
There was no need to communicate, the little figure stopped the thought of screaming. Then the little figure actually took the initiative to straighten his body, trying his best to cover the empty iron cage behind him to prevent others from discovering the abnormality.
Phew… Su An breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, the foundation of my own body is too bad. Some skills are limited by my physical fitness and can't be used at all.
Mindful of this, Su An no longer hesitated. As he thought in his mind, the only Potential Point on the character panel was added in agility by him. In the next second, a warm current spread out through his limbs, making Su An lighter and more agile.
The agility attribute had been increased from 7 to 8 points, which was a bit higher than the normal person. In terms of the agility attribute alone, Su An was already close to the limit value of an ordinary person-the 9-point attribute. This is the limit that ordinary people can reach before activating the main class.
However, his power attribute was still very low, a bit less than a normal adult. Fortunately, as a Dark Knight and a transcender stepping into another level, Su An had many ways to bridge the gap in power.
After adding the point, Su An disappeared into the night under the gaze of the little figure.
The little figure in the iron cage widened his eyes, but due to the illumination range of the lantern, he could no longer find Su An's trail.
But there was one person who was different from the little figure, no, it should be said that it was one thing.
——Codex of the Black Abyss!
Ordinary people couldn't capture a figure in the night, but Codex of the Black Abyss was not included in this list. Even if its power was blocked, it still retained the vision above the transcendent level, and the darkness was not a problem for it.
Because of this, the eyes on the cover of Codex of the Black Abyss opened to the extreme. It clearly saw Su An leap from the iron cage and stepped firmly on the back of Snow Nightmare
"Dark...Dark Vision?"
"He actually awakened a 'trait'?!"
Codex of the Black Abyss stared at the figure under the night. At this moment, it was a little frustrated.
"Idiot!"
"Moron!"
"Obviously he has such great potential, why does he want to get himself killed?!"
Codex of the Black Abyss scolded Su An in its heart. The so-called trait was the 'talent' in the eyes of the aboriginal people. They called talent an extraordinary trait. The names were different, but the specific meaning was the same. Similarly, there were 'geniuses' among aboriginal people. Some people who became transcender would also comprehend talent specialties, such people had potential in their eyes.
At this moment, Su An’s actions revealed that he had "Dark Vision" in his body. Although this trait was not precious, it was also called a genius. No forces on the Frigid Land of the North would reject such a genius, not to mention Codex of the Black Abyss who was looking for a host. It was considered a great luck for it to be able to encounter this kind of host.
After all, under its training, a host with 'Dark Vision' could develop the traits to the greatest extent, allowing it to far outperform other Codex of the Black Abyss in the competition of future invasions.
But the sad thing was this host was going to get himself killed.
Codex of the Black Abyss almost had a mental breakdown.
It was like winning the five million lottery but was later told that the number had expired.
At this moment, Su An did not have time for its thoughts, because when he jumped on Snow Nightmare's back, the monster that had been domesticated by others immediately raised its forelimbs, seemingly going to go wild.
This would cause noise and warn the entire Desolate Bandits!
At this critical moment, Su An lowered his head and leaned forward slightly. Then as the throat on his neck moved, he made a hoarse sound, unlike the sound that normal humans would make. During the whole process, he tried hard to pull his vocal cord, ignoring the pain caused by this move.
This was a voice that did not belong to humans!
Such a weird voice made this Snow Nightmare's movements paused. At the same time, the other Snow Nightmare not far away also stopped agitating and resumed its normal running state. This apparently non-human noise actually calmed the two Snow Nightmares, and even made them forget their masters and their years of tame instincts.
Su An stopped the noise, only feeling the burning pain in his throat, but he also managed to achieve his goal.
Snow Nightmare, according to the data collected by the Clearing Groups, first appeared in the early third era, the beginning of the' Gray Iron Age'. It is suspected to be the crossbreed between a transcendent creature - black goat horned leopard and common horse. Although it is not a transcendent creature, they have inherited some characteristics of their parents, such as being good at resisting cold and having affinity to the 'sun language'.
Su An silently recalled. As a core member of the Clearing Group, he not only knew everything, but he also retained his original proficiency in the 'Sun Language'.
It was a pity that Su An's current body did not have the talent for language transformation, and his vocal cords were still human.
Su An was not qualified enough if he wanted to use the standard vocal cords of the ancient species. Moreover, he was not a mage or archer. In the low-level stage, he did not have the ability to transform the vocal cords. He could only use his muscles to forcefully squeeze out a 'low-noise version'. Fortunately, the non-standard version of the sun language still fooled Snow Nightmares.
After successfully pacifying the two Snow Nightmares, Su An did not delay. He stretched out his hand, held the reins, and started the black smoke erosion. The next moment, with the sound of the reins breaking, Su An was already riding Snow Nightmare, rushing to the bandits at the front under the cover of night.
The change that occurred in the rear was soon noticed by the members of Desolate Bandits in front.
But.......
Su An still had enough time to sneak attack them.
