I don't know who startled the flock of birds perched in another wood, and the flock of birds flying in all directions drew everyone's attention.

"Damn! I knew there wasn't anything here! Hurry up! Don't let those guys take all the credit!"

The soldier closest to Qin Lao scolded angrily and turned to leave, the tip of his outstretched spear was not even two meters away from Qin Lao, but he stopped there.

Qin Wei swallowed the word "G" back into his stomach, his back was already soaked with sweat.

He didn't know if it was a cold sweat from the start, or if it was just because he was covered in a thick layer of dirt and weeds and leaves, and his clothes were too stuffy.

But now that even the griffon cavalry had been led away by the flock of birds, and even if he sweated profusely, he had to crawl away from the place and climb in the opposite direction.

And this climb was never-ending, and he did not stop panting until his knee pads and elbow pads were worn bare.

This time he really collapsed to the ground, and his joints were extremely sore.

The only good thing was that the trees around him were silent, and he could only hear his own breathing, no soldiers, no eyes in the air.

Qin Wei finally relied on luck to cross the border blockade line of Nanbaihe County.

It seems that he will not be lazy to take the ready-made path in the future! He lay on the ground for a long time, and set such a reminder to himself.

Now that he is indeed in a state of want, even a small place like a village can no longer be passed, and the days ahead are full of darkness.

Maybe it's a month, maybe it's two months, or more, Qin Wei doesn't know how long he has been walking towards the west.

But the journey seemed to be never-ending, and he never got to see the legendary vast forest that covered the horizon.

The path he had traveled was flat except for the hills, which meant that he was still on the Golden Plains, still within the borders of the Carolingian Kingdom.

This was also helpless, in order to stay away from the crowds, he had to choose a tortuous road that was not walked, which undoubtedly seriously slowed down his westward expansion.

And after a long time, the supplies were exhausted, and Qin Wei lived the life of a savage.

Drink cold water, eat wild fruits, catch hares, eat whatever you catch, and sometimes you have to go hungry if you can't catch anything.

But fortunately, he was also trained in the Brittany patrol, and Qin Wei still survived, but it was obvious that he lost more than 10 pounds.

The lines of his face were thin, his hair was as bad as that of Polymath Leon, he was scattered and dirty, and his leather armor was tattered, and there was even hair in some places, which was actually intentional on his part.

Ever since he fled the border in South Hundred Rivers, he had deliberately kept his clothes shabby and dirty.

And during this migration journey, in addition to having a sloppy smell, what made him even more dissatisfied was the access to water.

Nambaekhae is called "Baekhe" because there are dozens of rivers and countless tributaries and streams in the adjacent Bukbaekhae county.

But the farther west you go, the fewer rivers there are, and most of the places along the rivers are populated, so you have to choose between drinking water and avoiding exposure.

And for the sake of safety, he chose to avoid exposure and stay away from the river, then drinking water became a luxury, and bathing was impossible.

With a dry mouth, it often takes days for him to find living water, and more often than not, he can only rely on water from food to replenish his water.

So when he wakes up early one morning and finds himself in a fog, it goes without saying how excited he is.

Although the mist can't moisten his mouth, the dew condensed on the weeds can, and he can't wait to lick those treasures, just in response to the old saying that a long drought is a rain.

Qin Wei, who was barely reluctantly refreshed like this, continued to hit the road, but his physical fitness deteriorated, and his walking speed became slower and slower.

So compared with blindly moving forward, he felt that he should wait for the fog to dissipate and confirm the direction before leaving, but this wait was a morning, and he didn't see the fiery sun and the fog didn't disperse when the sun was supposed to be shining, and he couldn't see the sky at all.

"Then I'm going to be on the road!"

Qin Wei Shen muttered, the long time of traveling alone made him habitually talk to himself, but he didn't go crazy with a strong desire to go home.

But as he went deeper, the fog grew thicker and thicker, and the visibility took a sharp turn.

He even walked to a standing sign only to realize that he had unconsciously walked on the avenue.

"Foggy County"

There are only these Qin inscriptions on the brand, but these words are tantamount to a thunderbolt from the sky, which makes Qin Wei almost cry with excitement.

"It's finally the westernmost county of the kingdom!

Qin Wei had also read all the geography books in the library, and even copied a simple map, and it was with that map that he was able to maintain the momentum to go west.

Only now did he finally see hope, the Misty Realm, a territory bordering the Elven Clan's territory on the western side of the kingdom, the Misty Forest.

It is under the influence of the protective fog barrier of the elves, and the fog does not disperse all year round, with low visibility and rainy streams.

But this does not prevent the Lin people who live here from living, and even they are still living well here.

Because it is this magical mist created by the elves that makes the fruits and vegetables here grow extra prosperous, and some of their specialties are also exported to the royal capital and the holy city.

Many people come here because of the tempting fruits and vegetables and want to feast on them.

But these people often don't live long before leaving, Wudi County is too humid, this climate is not something that everyone can control, it is quite common for people from dry places to get arthritis or something, especially those with old injuries, so Wudi County is by no means a good place to retire, only purebred forest people who have lived here all their lives can adapt to this environment.

Qin Wei was very glad that he was just passing by here, as for whether the real territory of the elf clan was also so humid, he didn't know, but presumably those old guys with long ears had a long heritage, and they should have corresponding precautions.

And the most important thing is that Qin Wei can completely break away from the jurisdiction of the Carolingian Kingdom as long as he passes through this county, and then become a "free man", which is what he urgently needs now.

Although he didn't know how the elves treated outsiders, it was better to try his luck than if he was caught doing research.

If the previous few mouthfuls of dew lifted his spirits, the appearance of this street sign made him even more excited.

But excitement is excitement, caution is still necessary, he doesn't want to have an accident when he finally crosses the border, so he wants to go back to the wild road that no one walks, and it is best to pass through this county quietly.
