Chapter 279: Camp and Action
When the last rays of twilight fall.
Darkness spread quickly, enveloping every inch of the wilderness.
The caravan guards lit the torches, the guys also planted the torches prepared in advance on the carts, and the whole caravan marched silently and quickly.
Although the ogre scouts had been left far behind, the people in the caravan did not relax in the slightest and moved forward without stopping.
At the very least, it can't be said to be truly safe until it leaves the Ogre Tribe's self-defined territory.
The wheezing of cows, horses, and camels grew heavier, foaming at the mouth and nose, and the faces of the people in the caravan were visibly tired.
In order to reduce the consumption of animal power, at this time the caravan guards had already dismounted and walked, and the men and slaves also carried a certain amount of goods and began to walk.
But after nearly five hours of continuous walking, it can be said that the fatigue has accumulated to a very dangerous point, and the animal power is almost exhausted.
Perhaps it was really the favor of Lady Luck, and the people in front of the caravan suddenly let out a cheer of surprise!
A stone platform appeared in the middle of the road, with a wooden pole erected on it, and the skull of a humanoid creature with a black fist on its forehead was inserted.
This is a battle flag, the battle flag of the ogre tribe.
It's also a sign.
It means that from here it is the territory of the ogres, they have the ownership of this land, and other races entering it will invade their territory.
Of course, this also means that a bloody war is about to come!
It was a battle between humans and ogres for land!
But those things were too far away for the caravan now, and the cheers for now were only because they were about to leave the ogre's self-determined territory, and they no longer had to bear the fear of thorns in their backs and the fear of a terrible ogre catching up at any time!
Soon the situation was reported to Mr. Lindemann's carriage.
And a new order was given.
"Walk another half hour, and then look for water to set up camp and rest!"
After Mr. Lindemann gave the order, the caravan, stimulated by the good news of the imminent danger of being out of danger, rounded the banner, and the people on foot seemed to march forward with a little more pace.
About half an hour later.
A sparkling lake appeared in front of the caravan, and after finding a slope facing away from the lakeshore, the caravan began to prepare to camp.
After a long journey, they finally arrived at a place where they could set up camp, and everyone couldn't help but let out a cheer.
It's finally time to take a break.
Although it was late at night, people still seized the time to fetch water and make a fire, put some food into a large pot to boil, and they ate a stomach full of dry food, and now they just want to drink a sip of hot soup and get a good night's sleep.
Of course, the caravan men were also responsible for fetching water for the overworked cows, horses, and camels that had fallen on the ground to drink, and then preparing their fodder, relaxing their muscles to prevent sudden death, and at the same time doing all the work of setting up camp and sorting out the goods, and when they were done, they could not rest.
The caravan guards still did not dare to relax their vigilance at this time, and they began to arrange the personnel of the night vigil, and at the same time arranged a simple cordon, and set up a lot of warning traps.
It was only now that Muse slowly stepped out of the not very comfortable carriage, holding Lu, who looked dazed, while Ludon followed silently behind him.
After moving his body, Muse took a deep breath and looked around at the people around him who were busy with various things, and then motioned for Luden to take the package containing his luggage from the car and prepare to make a fire to cook.
After laying out a few straw mats, the Muse left Luden, who was lighting the bonfire, to take care of the dazed Lu, but he turned around and blended into the crowd walking in the camp, and disappeared after a few turns.
Luden, who had already been instructed, continued his work without changing his face, unfolding a tripod on a gradually burning bonfire, then hoisting an iron pot filled with water, occasionally turning his gaze to Lu, who was curled up in a ball
Soon, a slight twist appeared on another hillside opposite the camp, and then quickly melted into the air and disappeared.
With stealth in his hands, the Muse easily bypassed the caravan guards who were keeping vigil, then slipped through the simple traps and left the camp.
A faint glow appeared on his fingertips, and the muse casually slapped the light and acceleration techniques on his body, and then walked around the lake in a large circle, away from where the caravan was camping, before he showed his form.
With a sweep around his waist, a purple crystal appeared in the muse's hand, and the dense arcane marks engraved on it shimmered strangely in the darkness.
With the rapid infusion of arcane energy, a thin halo began to rise on the surface of the crystal.
Then, with a flip of his hand, the glowing crystal suddenly fell, and then it was strangely suspended about ten centimeters above the ground, and rays of light quickly spread out from the crystal, condensing into arcane runes.
In the end, there was an arcane magic circle on the ground that looked like a big triangle and an inverted small triangle, and the dense patterns of the magic circle were staggered!
A ray of silver light began to light up in the center of the crystal, which was the core of the circle, and passed out, flowing to the large and small circles of the circle.
In the pitch-black wilderness, the dense flickering light in front of the muse was obviously extremely abrupt and conspicuous.
The lights revealed where he was.
Water is where wild beasts gather, and lonely people like the muse are a good choice for filling their stomachs in the eyes of many creatures.
But for the muse, he didn't care about these things at all, anyway, he just didn't want to attract the attention of the caravan camped in the distance.
Soon, just as the muse was boredly waiting for the crystal, which was the core of the circle, to warm up and recharge the circle.
A foul smell gradually permeated, and more than a dozen pairs of red eyes appeared in the darkness near the muse, as if watching.
And the next moment, with a cooing sound, vaguely mixed with a few dog barks, out of the darkness came a dozen kobolds, these cowardly and cruel dwarf reptilian humanoids bared their sharp teeth, holding wooden sticks, stones and other sharp objects towards the muse.
Then, driven by hunger, they all pounced on the muse, who looked defenseless and weak in their eyes!
The muse didn't make any moves, but at this moment, the arcane magic circle in front of him lit up with a dazzling silver light!
