Two days later, Renard set out on a journey to the royal capital, accompanied by the three Fords and two legendary warriors, Arka and Mark.

To travel from the Southern Wilderness County to the king, it is necessary to cross the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest, which is an extremely dangerous act.

But to everyone, it's not much different from an outing, but if a demon suddenly appears, it's a different story.

Because the forest is so vast that the probability of encountering people is very small, the forest is extraordinarily quiet, and the occasional chirping of insects and birds barely adds a little life to it.

As the group walked along the small path, Renard looked at the old map and frowned, "It stands to reason that there should be a supply point nearby." ”

Ford stepped forward to look at it twice, and couldn't help but pout: "Oh my mother, this map looks older than me." ”

Hearing this, Salisbury triumphantly took out a map of the Northern Continent from his satchel, and after looking at it for a long time, he put it away again, obviously unable to determine his location from it.

After all, the Arthurian kingdom above is not as big as a walnut, not to mention the Ten Thousand Beast Forest, which is simply a line.

Fortunately, Christopher was well prepared: "I got a new map from the army, and it was given to me by someone who had been a mercenary. ”

As he spoke, he handed the map to Renard and explained, "The trade routes between the north and south of the kingdom are top secret, and because there are many interests involved, only a few people have detailed maps. ”

He smiled: "That mercenary has a good memory, and his sense of orientation is also very accurate, and he drew this map entirely from memory. ”

Renard was surprised when he heard this: "Do we still have such talents in our army, and when we go back, we will quickly transfer to the general staff." ”

Christopher shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't have any opinion.

The process of crossing the forest of ten thousand beasts is quite arduous, and now it is the transition of spring and summer, and there are countless snakes, insects, rats and ants, and everyone is unbearable.

It was Christopher who took out the anti-mosquito potion to help everyone get through the difficulty: "This grass can repel mosquitoes when lit, but it also gives off a scent that attracts wild animals. ”

Isn't that the same as wild meat?

Ford's eyes lit up and he hurriedly ordered several mosquito repellent plants.

Everyone is a martial artist, among which Alkin and Mark are legendary martial artists, and although Renard is a martial artist, his strength is not much better than that of a legendary martial artist, and the three of them have long had the upper level of high-level martial artists.

Therefore, the beasts that dared to show their teeth to them on the road were finally roasted on the bonfire.

In the evening, the people had dinner on horseback and continued their march north.

There is no such thing as camping in the forest, and unless you reach the supply point, you can only keep moving forward, or you will be tied to a tall tree and you will spend half the night.

If anyone is really tired enough to choke on the way, he will lie down on the back of the horse and rest for a while.

Don't look at their strength, if they really meet a magical beast that is good at sneak attacks, their lives still have to be here, so at least the three of them must be in a sober state.

After seven or eight hours of torment, everyone was still less than three kilometers away from the supply point, and it was already past two o'clock in the morning.

Renard was so sleepy that he almost fell to the ground several times, and the three of Ford were tired enough, but they could barely get up.

Although their strength is weak, they have also come over with the hardships of the territory army, unlike Lei Ye, who is pampered and pampered, and he can't stand the slightest grievance.

As we approached the camp, there was a faint sound of ghosts crying wolves in the wind, which was particularly permeable in the silent forest.

Lei Ye suddenly became energetic: "What sound, why is it so terrifying?"

Salisbury listened with his ears pricked up for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion: "It seems to be the wind." ”

"No!" Ford frowned, "It's time for your ears to be changed, I hear someone calling for help." ”

Hearing this, Lei Ye couldn't help but snort and asked, "We can't meet ghosts, right?" ”

Mark turned his head to look into the dark depths of the woods: "The sound is coming from that direction, it is indeed a human cry for help. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and finally all eyes fell on Renard, the meaning is very obvious, should we go over and have a look?

After thinking for a moment, Renard sighed helplessly, muttering something like curiosity killing a cat as he steered the horse in the direction Mark pointed.

And the people immediately followed, lest any accident should arise.

Passing through the bushes, the voice of the cry for help became more and more distinct: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone! For the sake of the goddess of wealth! Save me, poor man in trouble!"

The cry for help was almost close at hand, and Renard was stunned that he didn't see half a figure, he couldn't help but shudder, lowered his voice and said, "!

Everyone looked around, but Mark stared at the top of the branch with a suspicious look, and then he shouted, "Who is pretending to be a ghost there?"

As soon as the words fell, the branches of the tree fell violently and two behemoths fell, almost scaring Ford next to him half to death: "My mother, what is it?"

As he spoke, everyone had already drawn their swords to be on guard.

Then the behemoth on the ground suddenly stood up, two meters tall, like a gorilla, but he spoke fluent Alerhotz language: "God willing, I am saved." ”

After saying this, the behemoth immediately exclaimed, "Be careful!"

The moment the voice came out, the huge Shadow Tiger suddenly burst out from behind Renard, and the blood was pointed at his throat.

Renard instantly noticed, the corners of his mouth hooked a sneer, the sword light flickered, and he shouted softly: "Draw the sword!"

As soon as the word was exited, the huge Shadow Tiger was decapitated in an instant, and the sharpness of the sword technique was amazing.

At least Algin hadn't figured out a way to break this sword move, and in fact, he hadn't seen how Lei Ye came out of the sword until now.

Equally surprised was the behemoth, who asked in a tone of great admiration, "You are a great legendary warrior, aren't you?"

Instead of answering, Renard looked at the person in front of him, and then asked, "Who are you, and why are you here?"

The tall fat man sighed softly when he heard this, and let out a voice like a resentful woman: "I am just a poor and helpless little businessman. ”

As he spoke, his gaze fell on the corpse of the Shadow Tiger, intentionally or unintentionally, and his greedy expression was fleeting.

Immediately afterward, he began to straighten his clothes and messy hair, while explaining, "I am indeed a poor merchant who wants to follow the caravan through the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts to the north to trade. ”

"At noon today, we unfortunately met this Shadow Tiger, you should know, this guy's strength is comparable to that of a Douqi martial artist, he is better at stealth and sneak attacks, and it is difficult to deal with in the forest. ”

"The mercenaries lost four of them, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they left me and fled. ”
