In this apocalyptic world, in addition to strength, you must also have courage.
After Zhao Yanxun stabbed the tiger with a knife, the tiger, which was already dying, let out the last sad roar of its life.
"Ding... kill one tenth of the zombies, get 0.1 skill points, and the current skill point is 0.1."
Before Zhao Yanxun had time to digest the results of the battle, he was attracted by the mechanical sound of the system in his head.
Kill one tenth of the zombies? In other words, is the tiger in front of you a zombie?
Why is it one-tenth? Could it be that...it has not completely mutated?
While Zhao Yanxun was thinking, the guards gathered around him one after another, and someone carefully stabbed the tiger twice.
Naturally, the dead tiger would not react, so some guards shouted: "The tiger is dead...the tiger has been beaten to death!"
When the fleeing people heard this sound, they dared to look back and felt relieved after confirming that the tiger had been killed.
Xue Baoyun was supported by two palace maids, leaning against the wall and breathing heavily. At this moment, she was still in shock.
On the other side, Zhao Yanxun pulled out the knife from the tiger's neck, and the blood splattered on his robe.
Throwing the knife aside, Zhao Yanxun turned around and walked towards Xue Baoyun.
When Zhao Yanxun approached, Xue Baoyun saw the blood on her husband's body and quickly asked: "My lord...are you injured?"
Zhao Yanxun shook his head, and then said: "My dear concubine... you go back first, I still have things to do!"
Xue Baoyun nodded. Although she was curious about what Zhao Yanxun was going to do, seeing her husband's serious expression, she knew enough not to ask any more questions.
"Send the princess back to her home!" Zhao Yanxun said in a low voice.
The palace maids and eunuchs who had just escaped were now gathered around again. They were very anxious at the moment, fearing that they would be held responsible for the escape.
But Zhao Yanxun had no time to pursue these matters. Now he just wanted to find out what happened to the zombies.
After saying goodbye to Xue Baoyun, Zhao Yanxun walked towards the tiger corpse. The reinforcements of the guards had also arrived.
Seeing Zhao Yanxun coming, all the guards knelt on one knee and said: "See you, Your Highness!"
The voices were loud, and at least they sounded quite combat-effective, but their performance just now was really unsatisfactory.
Looking at everyone, Zhao Yanxun said in a bad tone: "The important task of guarding the palace has been entrusted to you, and you are just doing your duty as loyally as you did just now?"
Zhao Yanxun was angry in his heart, and all the guards present could hear it, so they all accepted the punishment honestly.
"If I hadn't organized you to kill the tiger just now, would you have just allowed that beast to show off its cruelty?"
Hearing Zhao Yanxun's tone becoming more and more unkind, Zongqi, the highest-ranking official in the bodyguard, could only kowtow and say: "I've been waiting for ten thousand deaths, but please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
If you continue to refuse to give in, if you really let Zhao Yanxun continue to go on the line, your family will be affected next.
There are no idiots in the palace. When they heard their superior’s answer, the other guards imitated him and said, “I’m waiting for Wan to die!”
Of course, Zhao Yanxun would not do anything to these people. He only said this to frighten the guards, and then these people would answer honestly.
"There is no need to die ten thousand times, just one death is enough!" Zhao Yanxun said in a more tolerant tone.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to improve, Zhao Yanxun asked: "Everyone, get up, I have something to ask you!"
Hearing this, all the guards felt relieved, as long as Zhao Yanxun had no intention of pursuing the case.
After the commander-in-chief had just answered, he stood up and raised his waist and asked, "Please give me your permission, Your Majesty!"
"How come there are tigers in the palace?"
"Tomorrow the Hu people's envoy will enter the palace for an audience. The emperor ordered the animal taming supervisor to prepare a guard of honor, so the animal taming supervisor transferred the tiger into the palace in advance!"
When the barbarians came to visit, it was not unreasonable for the imperial court to use ferocious beasts to increase its power.
"Since there are people from the animal training prison watching over it, how could this beast escape?"
"I don't know what my humble position is, but the trainer who was looking after the tiger was bitten to death on the spot!"
Since the tiger has mutated, is it possible that some of the people in the animal taming prison are also mutated, which is why the tiger escaped?
"Take me over and have a look!" Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty...it's dangerous over there, I'll take it as my humble duty..."
Before the commander-in-chief could finish his words, Zhao Yanxun scolded him sternly: "Lead the way!"
So the man immediately shut up and could only take Zhao Yanxun over to check, while a group of guards followed him.
If something happens to Zhao Yanxun, they will have nothing to gain.
Hurrying slowly, they quickly arrived at the courtyard where the beasts were housed. At this moment, the place was blocked by the Imperial Guards.
The team was led by a Qianhu. Except for such a big matter, no one in the palace would dare to be careless.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, why are you here?" Qianhu stepped forward and saluted.
Zhao Yanxun didn't know the person in front of him, but he knew his official uniform. To him, this person was an insignificant person.
"What's going on inside?" Zhao Yanxun asked directly, taking the initiative in the conversation between the two.
The identity of the other prince was revealed here, and this Qianhu could only reply: "Your Majesty, all the beasts inside are showing off their bestiality, and five beast trainers have been bitten to death!"
"Except for the tiger that escaped, are all the other beasts still in the cage?" Zhao Yanxun asked.
"Yes, but these beasts are not safe!"
In fact, Zhao Yanxun didn't need to tell the thousands of households. Hearing the continuous roars in the yard, Zhao Yanxun could guess it.
"Go in and take a look!" After saying that, Zhao Yanxun stepped forward.
The thousands of households hurriedly chased after them, and at the same time advised: "My lord, it is dangerous inside. You must not go in, lest you be hit by those beasts!"
Seeing these thousands of households blocking him, Zhao Yanxun stopped and said, "There are so many of you here, how can there be any danger? Get out of the way!"
"Your Majesty, I'm so humble that I won't dare to put your Majesty in danger!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yanxun couldn't help but laugh, and then pointed at the guards who came with him, and said to the thousands of households blocking the road: "Danger? Then ask them who killed the tiger that escaped just now!"
After being pointed out by Zhao Yanxun, Zong Qi among the guards could only stand up and prove: "That tiger just now was killed by the prince!"
Not only the thousands of households blocking the road, but also the soldiers of the Forbidden Army who were present were all shocked when they heard this.
Can a young boy like Zhao Yanxun be able to kill such a ferocious insect?
Seeing everyone's unbelieving expressions, Zhao Yanxun immediately said: "I don't think they believe it, please explain it to them carefully!"
Although the guard Zongqi was reluctant, he still recounted the situation just now.
What he said was so serious that everyone believed him 80% of the time, so the way they looked at Zhao Yanxun changed.
It is true that a person cannot be judged by his appearance, and a hero comes from a young age. It is no wonder that His Majesty the Emperor loves King Yong so much... This is what everyone thinks in their hearts.
"So, can you let me in now?"
After saying this, Zhao Yanxun's tone became cold and he said: "If you dare to stop me again, I will kill you as well!"
According to Zhao Yanxun's current level of favor, killing a thousand of his families is really not a big deal, so the imperial army had no choice but to retreat to the side.
Seeing that these thousands of households had retreated, Zhao Yanxun couldn't help but feel proud, and then stepped into the courtyard again.
In fact, since he killed the tiger, his own temperament has changed, which Zhao Yanxun himself did not notice.
As Zhao Yanxun entered the courtyard, Qianhu of the Forbidden Army quickly waved behind him, and a dozen shield-wielding soldiers followed him in.
They had to ensure Zhao Yanxun's safety. If something went wrong, I don't know how many people would lose their heads.
