When Zhao Xi woke up the next day, the others had already started to light a fire to cook and clean up the tent, and Cornelia was no exception.

Cornelia tasted the saltiness of the stew in the pot, and watched Zhao Xi come out of the tent in a huff.

"If you don't come out, you won't have your share. ”

Zhao Xi rubbed his eyes and stretched, and the bones on his body made a crackling sound.

"I didn't sleep well yesterday, and if I can't eat anymore, you might as well kill me. ”

Dorothy on the side obediently handed over the water bag and asked Zhao Xi to wash, after all, it would be too late to rub it any longer.

After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, Zhao Xi quickly put away the tent and put it in a ball and on top of the carriage he was riding.

With David's explanation and teaching, he has mastered the method of setting up and dismantling the tent, so this time it is much faster than yesterday.

Today's Zhao Xi is still dressed in linen clothes, and the blood leather armor was put away by him when he slept last night.

After some consideration, he decided not to wear armor in the Black Forest, after all, he had to bear the danger of attracting the unknown for a little defense.

After Zhao Xi had done everything, he found that Cornelia had already prepared the stew for herself, and she was already eating it in small sips.

He picked up the wooden bowl and spooned a mouthful of stew and put it in his mouth, smiling with satisfaction.

......

Within the kobold tribe.

A young kobold is sweating profusely training, and there are some female kobolds.

Erin and Vic walked around and watched to see if their people were making mistakes, and if they were correct.

After all, once the wrong action accumulates damage to the body, it can ruin a qualified fighter, so there can be no slack in this regard.

Vic looked at Erin's side face from time to time, and tried to say something many times, but finally let him endure it.

Erin, who had already been promoted to a transcendent, naturally noticed Vic's abnormality, and stopped and turned her head to look at Vic on the side.

"Uncle Vic, what's wrong? Do you have anything to tell me?"

Vic touched his head and smiled when he was spotted by Erin, and seemed a little embarrassed.

"Why didn't you go out with Brother Don back then, didn't you always want to go out and see?"

Hearing Vic's words, Erin visibly froze for a moment, as if she didn't know how to answer, and slowly opened her mouth to answer after a while.

"Uncle Vic, that was my dream when I was a kid, and I'm not a kid anymore. ”

"Erin, you don't have to force yourself to grow, the tribe still has me, even if you leave for a few years, it won't be fine. ”

Hearing Vic's words, Erin's expression became serious, and she stared at Vic's eyes tightly, revealing determination in her eyes.

"It's not persecution, I'm just taking my share of responsibility, Uncle Vic. ”

Vic looked away from his eyes and had to throw out his hands to show that he had thrown in the towel.

"Okay, okay, I'm wrong, don't you really want to go?"

Facing Vic's question again, a glimmer of light clearly flashed in Erin's eyes, and her expression obviously changed somewhat.

"It's definitely false to say that you don't want to. ”

"And you—" Vic didn't understand what Erin was trying to say.

At this time, Erin showed a bright smile, took a step, and continued to walk slowly forward.

"I'm still a kid!"

The girl chuckled and left, leaving Vic standing there with a confused expression, scratching his head.

Although the kobolds around them didn't know what their shaman was laughing at, they were all relieved when they heard that the laughter was not a fake.

After all, it's been a long time since everyone has seen Erin laugh like this for a long time, and now that she laughs, she probably has come out of the haze of these days.

Vina, who was carefully studying the statue from a distance, was startled by the sudden laughter, and looked at the direction from which the voice came with a look of displeasure.

......

The caravan had been in the Black Forest for a while, and Zhao Xi clearly felt that there were obviously two worlds in the Black Forest and outside the Black Forest.

As soon as they walked into the Black Forest, the heat on everyone's bodies was directly eliminated, and they only felt the coolness coming from the forest.

There is still an obvious road in the Black Forest, but it seems that it is now significantly deserted because it has not been traveled for a long time.

The black trees around are bare, with no leaves at all, and the qualifications for growth are very strange.

Unlike other trees, which grow straight upwards, the trees in the Black Forest are almost always two or more trees twisted together and attached to each other to grow upwards.

All the trees were black, and the monotonous black cast a heavy shadow over everyone's hearts.

And some of the trees are even stranger-shaped, growing like tortured humans, and the holes in the trees look like human faces weeping and wailing.

Zhao Xi had also tried the hardness of the trees, and after preliminary tests, it was found that the trees in the Black Forest were much harder than the sticks used by the ogres.

Beneath his feet was a faintly foul black dirt, from which the bones of some unfortunate ones could be kicked out of the occasional moment.

And the Black Forest is also very silent, not to mention the cries of animals, not even the chirping of insects, like a lifeless dead place.

The overall atmosphere of the convoy was also very different from yesterday, there was no laughter anymore, and everyone tensed their nerves and carefully paid attention to the movements around them.

Zhao Xi and the three mercenary captains couldn't sit leisurely on the carriage, and they were guarding the surroundings to prevent the sudden attack of the monsters.

However, Buffy didn't seem to expect that he would be able to reach the transcendent realm at such a young age, so he let him walk in the most relaxed middle, and he was also in the middle with the mercenary captain named Cook.

However, this mercenary captain was different from the other mercenaries who were fully armed, he only wore light leather armor, and he didn't even hold a weapon.

Daisy, who brought roast chicken to Zhao Xi yesterday, also stood not far from Zhao Xi, different from the appearance of the little girl with a shy face yesterday, Daisy at this time was also holding a double knife and looking around vigilantly.

As for David, he didn't see it, it should be in front of or behind the team that was far away from him.

After yesterday's vigil, Zhao Xi also slowly got acquainted with some mercenaries, and they would say hello to each other when they passed by some familiar mercenaries.

The morning passed, and the caravan was not in any danger, as if to prove that Buffy was right.

Due to the special environment of the Black Forest, it is estimated that the only way to rest at night is to live in a horse-drawn carriage, after all, it is a big project to carve out a large camping ground like yesterday in the Black Forest.

But the good news is that these black trees can still be burned as firewood, otherwise the caravan will have to eat cold food for ten days.

It was time for everyone to have lunch, and the mercenaries, who had been nervous all morning, could finally relax a little and start eating the dry food they were carrying.

Although there are roads in the Black Forest, because they are not too smooth, the people sitting in the carriages are a little sore in the morning.

Dorothy and Cornelia are no exception, but because they are taller than ordinary people, they are not as obvious as others.

Zhao Xi did not return to the carriage at noon this time, but sat directly on the ground and ate the white bread he brought with cold water, the jerky was too hard, Zhao Xi still gave up in pain.

After hastily eating lunch, he saw that Daisy was still around to watch for any enemy attacks, anyway, he had nothing to do now, so it was better to help Daisy and let her have a good rest.

It was too easy for him to compare to the kobolds who made their way through the jungle to the ogre camp.

Daisy on the side heard someone slowly walking towards her, and when she turned around and saw that it was Zhao Xi, she couldn't help but be a little excited, and just wanted to say something but found that the other party's gentle momentum changed.

The cold murderous aura directly wrapped Daisy, she didn't expect that a handsome big boy would have such a terrifying murderous aura, just like a big devil with bloody hands.

Although she didn't know why Tang En on the other side had such a strong killing intent towards herself, she began to recall the scenes of the two years she had been out in her mind at this time, and she couldn't help but start asking in her heart whether what she was doing was right or not.

Before she could wait for an answer, she saw a silver-white sword light pass by her ears, and then the sound of a long sword returning to its sheath sounded in her ears, accompanied by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

The invisible murderous aura disappeared without a trace as the long sword returned to its sheath, and the surrounding mercenaries realized what was going on and rushed here.

Daisy also sat on the ground with a thud when the murderous aura dissipated, looking at Zhao Xi blankly, her eyes full of confusion.

"It's okay, something suddenly appeared from behind you just now, and it suddenly started to move without telling you, which scared you. ”

Zhao Xi looked at Daisy with a gentle face, with a hint of apology on his face, as if he was feeling a little guilty for the impulse just now.

"No... It's okay. ”

Only then did Daisy figure out the situation, turned her head to look at the place where the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground just now, and found that a long black snake had broken in two and fell to the ground, and black blood was still flowing from the wound with a foul smell.

After hearing Zhao Xi's words, the mercenaries who arrived around showed gratitude and admiration at Zhao Xi, and just now this swordsmanship surpassed most of them.

Before Daisy could say words of thanks, he saw that Donn's gaze on the other side became sharp again, and the disappeared murderous aura appeared around him again.

"Be careful, there are enemies!"

Zhao Xi frowned and looked into the depths of the forest opposite, listening loudly to the mercenaries around him.
