Yes, level 8 NPCs are too.

Their fighting, by the standards of this world, has already surpassed the level of mortals.

Amidst the flashing blades and the flickering swords, several rounds passed by. One would expect such a rapid exchange to inevitably result in bloodshed, but after the two sides clashed, the black blood on the spear tips and claws did not increase further.

Cerberus seemed surprised by the general's strength. The two heads that had been observing the surroundings finally turned around, and three pairs of eyes focused on the general.

"Roar......"

The monster murmured, "I'm very interested in you."

The general returned the look with disdain and continued to ride forward, seemingly intending to use the speed of his horse to wage guerrilla warfare against Cerberus.

but.

With its three heads, it has an absolutely unobstructed field of vision, so no matter how the general runs around it, he cannot find even the slightest flaw.

Cerberus had no intention of launching an attack. After landing, it even paused for a moment, seemingly lost in thought, or perhaps considering which side it should help.

Neither Saint-Shuari nor the Empire's heavy cavalry had anything to do with it; they had other purposes and were definitely not here to play what it saw as a war game with the general.

What it wants... what it craves...

The dog's head in the middle finally found its target.

"(Hey, Xiangzi, look at that guy's eyes.)" Li Xi's voice suddenly appeared in Xiangzi's mind.

“(I saw it.)” Xiangzi sighed softly.

Cerberus's gaze fell on the carriage carrying the Red Queen, the middle head of which grinned, revealing its ferocious fangs.

It looks like it's laughing.

He was smiling at the carriage carrying the Red Queen.

"(It seems it's like us.)" Xiangzi and Cerberus looked in the same direction. "(The Red Queen is its true destination.)"

The Lost Tale: The Lost Child: Chapter 340 - 70 Miles Per Second

When Cerberus turned his gaze toward the Red Queen's carriage, everyone knew that the stalemate was about to change.

"Don't even think about touching His Majesty!"

The general brandished his flag and charged forward once again.

This time, however, Cerberus had no interest in playing with him anymore.

"Thump!" The sound, like a bell being struck, was the sound of Cerberus's fist colliding with the general's armor.

The general was thrown from his horse and fell unconscious into a small hill made up of fragments of humans, monsters, horses, and demons.

The heavily armored knights, who had just been confident in their general, were all stunned. Not only the Red Queen's side, but even Sanctuary's side hadn't expected this suddenly appearing monster to be so powerful.

It seemed that Cerberus had completely taken control of the battlefield.

It didn't even glance at the general, its legs bent as it knelt on the ground, its muscles poised to be unleashed, its three ferocious heads seemingly calculating the distance between itself and the carriage.

The Red Queen's carriage was well protected and positioned at the very back of the formation.

It must be about two or three hundred meters.

“Should we stop it?” Hailing asked in the channel.

"(How can we stop it?)" Xiangzi shook his head. "(Don't waste your time.)"

The highest-ranking member of their group, Chihaya Aine, was only level seven. Even though rank wasn't that absolute for them, their combat skills and awareness honed over time could largely compensate for that numerical difference.

However, Cerberus is the strongest monster they have ever seen, and rushing up against it would likely result in the same outcome as the general lying dead in a pile of corpses, his fate unknown.

"(But little master, if this continues, it...)"

Before he finished speaking, Cerberus's bulging muscles contracted in an instant, and a burst of sweaty steam erupted from his body, completely blurring the surrounding vision.

There was a bang.

A figure flew out from the steam cloud and swept over the formation of heavily armored knights.

At that moment, time seemed to slow down.

The knights responsible for protecting the Red Queen looked up helplessly as the monster flew overhead.

Did they not do a good enough job?

Despite facing six or seven hundred freaks who could turn into monsters at any moment, and dozens of monsters that had already been born, the hundred-odd riders did not lose their formation or their morale, and they put together an effective counterattack.

There are some things that you just can't do, and that's simply not possible.

They couldn't fly, and their arrows couldn't catch up with the monster that swept across the sky like a falling meteor. They could only watch helplessly as Cerberus passed them, just like a goalkeeper who tried his best to save a goal but was limited by his physical limits and could not stop the ball from flying into the goal frame.

Boom!

Cerberus landed precisely beside the carriage, its three large mouths gaping open, three tongues lolling out, panting heavily. Its body, covered only with a few short hairs, sweated profusely with each breath, the sweat almost instantly turning into a pungent vapor.

The two consecutive jumps had exhausted a lot of its energy, but getting to the carriage was enough for it.

A hand large enough to grab a heavily armored knight and his horse grabbed the roof of the carriage and forcefully ripped it open—

The carriage remained completely still.

This is a carriage used to protect the Empress; calling it a carriage is less accurate than calling it an iron coffin. However, even this wouldn't cause any real damage to the iron coffin.

"AUGHHH!"

Cerberus roared angrily at the iron coffin, scratching at it with his claws, leaving a trail of hideous claw marks on the iron plate of the carriage.

But no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't cause any real damage to the carriage.

At this point, the knights' defensive line began to contract, gradually encircling the monster. Their formation, originally arranged around the carriage, naturally contracted very quickly.

"(Little Master! If you don't do something soon!)" Aine watched from afar as the hellhound went berserk over the iron coffin, her heart filled with anxiety.

"(Shh...keep watching.)" Xiangzi squinted. "(You're disturbing me.)"

"(But—ahhhhh, what does it want to do?!)"

Aine stared wide-eyed in the direction of Cerberus.

What did she see? She saw Cerberus actually lift the entire carriage up on his back!

"(It wants to...move the carriage away...)" Xiangzi's voice sounded somewhat unsteady. "(Never mind it, let it do what it wants. You guys figure out how to get out of the battlefield first, I'll arrange the rest later.)"

"(What's Xiang doing? What's Xiang planning to do?)" Mu always felt that Xiangzi's tone was strange.

Her intuition told her that Xiangzi was doing something reckless, as always.

"(Could it be that, Xiao Xiang, you're planning to...)"

"(Aaaaaahhhhh—! I've seen it!)" Aine yelled in the channel, "(Little Master! What are you doing under the carriage?!!!!)"

It turned out that Xiangzi had already reached the carriage and hidden himself under it while Cerberus had drawn everyone's attention.

She had originally planned to pick the lock and hide in the car, but before she could even unlock it, Cerberus had already jumped over.

Xiangzi had no choice but to grab onto whatever he could and hide in a place where he wouldn't be easily noticed.

That is, under the carriage.

Then......

Cerberus couldn't open the can, so he tried to take it away directly. Xiangzi happened to be under the carriage, and when he was lifted up like that, he was naturally seen by others.

The monster was carrying a carriage that was much heavier than itself, and the ground shook several times just from taking a few steps to steady itself and adjust its balance.

A rumbling sound rang out, echoing through the valley.

Heavy cavalry, including their riders and horses, weighed at least half a ton, and when they stood there, they were no different from a wall. But the Red Queen's carriage was cast from the hardest metal, was almost the size of a small house, and weighed as much as a heavy tank.

The carriage, weighing tens of tons, was forcibly lifted by the monster, like the legendary Overlord lifting the tripod.

Immediately afterwards, it slammed the carriage forward with tremendous force.

Boom!

The ground shook violently, and the nearby heavily armored knights were unable to move.

Cerberus, holding up the rear of the carriage, charged forward like a tank, scattering the heavily armored knights' formation. The knights were like bowling pins before the carriage, collapsing in droves.

After breaking through the enemy lines, Cerberus pushed the chariot toward the Pass of Wrath.

Xiangzi had somehow climbed from under the car to the roof, his face pale, clutching at anything he could reach, too afraid to move.

She's like a cat clinging to the roof of a car, following it onto the highway.

Speeding at 70 mph~ My mood is ****~

The Lost Story: The Lost Child: Chapter 341 The Red Queen?

Cerberus pushed the cart faster than she had imagined, at least thirty or forty kilometers per hour. This enormous thing sped through the valley at thirty or forty kilometers per hour, and before long she was out of range of communication with her companions.

Fortunately, everything that needed to be explained has been explained.

Hopefully, I won't get arrested and reprimanded by a few people when I get back this time.

Xiangzi thought, his face pale.

That was definitely a bit too reckless.

After all, she hadn't considered that such a thing would suddenly appear. Taking advantage of everyone's distraction, she quickly reached the carriage. Cerberus was going to take the carriage away, so she couldn't just stay there.

No, she wasn't willing to accept it.

She would never let something she had finally gotten her hands on slip away.

That's why she climbed onto the carriage without hesitation and followed Cerberus towards the Pass of Wrath.

It's amazing that, despite Cerberus's rough handling, the carriage's suspension remained completely intact, and it was pushed up and down towards the pass ahead.

Xiangzi initially hid on the roof of the carriage, but he was almost thrown off due to the constant bumps. Later, he simply found an opportunity to move to the front and was pushed forward by the carriage.

There was a place to sit in front, the driver's seat. Sitting here, at least he wouldn't be so easily jolted off. Xiangzi sat down with a thud, looked down at the ground beneath his feet, which had turned into blurry, dynamic lines, and shivered.

Hopefully, the Red Queen is alright and didn't just die from accidentally hitting the back of her head on a sharp edge.

Otherwise, whether it's Cerberus, Sanctuary, the Empire, or any of them, they'll all have wasted their time.

Xiangzi huddled into a small ball, gripping the handrail beside him tightly, and turned his gaze toward the approaching, lifeless, angry pass.

As we got closer to the checkpoint, the road beneath our feet gradually became smoother.

In the darkness, not a single light was lit in the direction of the pass. The city wall was shrouded in darkness, turning into a blurry shadow. If you weren't close enough, you might not even notice that there was a huge city wall more than ten meters high standing there.

The pass, which looked like a fortress from the mountainside, should have been a bustling place with a large flow of people, according to Deacon. But now it looked... like it was dead.

This place is so strange.

Is that Cerberus? It leaped from the direction of the pass. Did it slaughter the entire pass? Is it a monster from the Wrathful World?

One question after another lingered in Xiangzi's mind, but he could not find the answers.

squeak-

The iron horse-drawn carriage stopped.

Heavy footsteps sounded behind me.

Xiangzi immediately hid under the carriage, watching Cerberus's feet touch the ground and walk forward.

The journey must have exhausted the monster's strength. It was still steaming from head to toe as it walked to the city gate, reached its hands into the gap between the gate panels, and pulled the ten-meter-high gate panels apart.

These doors are usually opened using a mechanism; they can be easily pried open.

But considering it can lift a huge thing that's almost the size of a house and weighs tens of tons, it's not surprising that it can just open a door.

Cerberus himself probably weighed ten or twenty tons, yet it almost hit its head on the ten-meter-high doorway.

After opening the door, it slowly walked back to the back of the carriage and pushed it into the city.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiangzi quietly moved back to the front seat.

Once inside the city, the ground was paved with stone slabs, and the ride was much less bumpy. Xiangzi took the opportunity to observe this truly ghost town and couldn't help but exclaim inwardly.

There was no light outside the city, and only after entering the city did we realize how strange the situation inside was.

Tonight is a moonless night. In the hazy darkness, Xiangzi can only see the outlines of houses and... irregular shadows lying on the ground like garbage.
