The caravan's time was precious, and although it didn't recruit all the men, it made up for the lack of numbers with two masters joining in, and the caravan's owner, Jinke, quickly decided on a date for departure.

When the day of departure came, Yan Xu and Jiangcheng came to meet, Yan Xu was nothing, but Jiangcheng's wolf caused a lot of commotion, after all, in addition to being a mount, the wolf itself is a fierce beast, and its combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of a tiger, after all, it can run and charge with people, and its strength and explosiveness are not much smaller, so it caused tension in the caravan, and many guards took up arms.

Fortunately, Jinke came out in time to stop the commotion of those guards, after all, Jiang Cheng had already told him that he had a wolf mount before, but he had never seen a real wolf, and he really didn't know that the wolf was so huge.

Although the wolf is very dangerous, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for the caravan, after all, the well-trained wolf itself has the strength of a knight, and if it were not for the fact that he was a beast and could not use equipment, two or three knights would not be an opponent. And the wolf is very vigilant, in the wild can not only drive away the wolves, but also as a caravan sentinel, for which Jinke also specially gave an extra commission, which is very rare for a businessman who cares about it, which shows how big the role of the wolf is.

"My lord, the wolf is too dangerous for the caravan!" A rough man came to Jinke's side, bent down and saluted.

The captain of the guard didn't have much opinion on Yan Xu and the two joining the caravan, after all, this was a common practice of understaffing in the caravan, but he objected to the safety of the wolves and didn't want them to join the caravan, but it was Jinke who finally decided all this.

"There's no danger, all you have to do is manage your bastards who are venting all their energy on women, instead of questioning my decisions!" Jin Ke was obviously a little impatient, and said heavily to the captain of the guard, who was usually more important.

"Yes, my lord, I will take care of them." The captain of the guard didn't look very good, but he still turned around and retreated apologetically.

Everyone in the caravan has their own job, only those who join temporarily stand aside to watch the play, after all, as temporary employees, the people of the caravan dare not let them easily approach the goods.

"Why are you here?" I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here, Yan Xu asked a little strangely.

In front of him, Shu Ke, who was wearing an old leather armor with a bow and arrows, a log shield on his back, looked at Yan Xu a little nervously, and it took a long time before he answered.

"I want to go out on an adventure!" Nervous, Shuk tried to tell his purpose, but his hand was about to break the short sword at his waist.

"Uncle Booker agreed?" Yan Xu knew that Uncle Booker regarded Shu Ke as his own son and wanted him to inherit his orchard, so he was naturally reluctant to let him take risks.

"I was still young and wanted to go out and have a look, and Uncle Booker agreed and gave me the gear he used when he was younger." Touching the scratched leather armor on his body, Shuk said with a smile.

In fact, Uncle Booker was a spearman when he was young, but Shuke's strength was still a little worse, and he couldn't use a heavy spear for the time being, and he would put himself in danger if he barely used it, so he bought him a new bow and arrow, and let him take a long-distance route, at least safer.

Uncle Booker was also young, and knew that although dreams were often unrealizable, he could not appreciate the preciousness of the ordinary without experiencing the setbacks of reality, so even if he was worried about his life, he still agreed to Shuke's request.

Although he knew that as long as he didn't agree, Shuke would not leave, but looking at those hopeful young eyes, Uncle Booker couldn't say anything about rejection.

With Uncle Booker's net worth, he can naturally buy a decent set of equipment for Shuke, at least with his connections, he can still buy an iron-inlaid armor from the security patrol camp.

But with Shuke's strength to wear this swaggering leather armor to go out, it is estimated that it will be beaten down and snatched away in two days, if Shuke resists strongly, even life can not be guaranteed, so he took the old leather armor of his youth to Shuke to use, which can be described as well-intentioned.

The clever Shuk also realized Uncle Booker's good intentions, so he did not have a trace of the young man being embarrassed to go out in shabby clothes, but cherished this leather armor very much.

"Follow me for this time, and it's up to you in the future." Yan Xu still has a good impression of this somewhat clever young man, so he decided to take care of him and see if he can let him go further.

The only advantage of following a caravan is that you don't need to carry a lot of loads, although the carrying capacity of the carriage is very precious, after all, every little more goods transported can be exchanged for more profits, but in order to hurry, it is impossible for the caravan to stay in every town, it is very normal to stay in the wilderness, and it is not okay to have enough supplies. Another benefit of this is that the caravan guards can conserve more stamina for emergencies.

However, Yan Xu's backpack is a magic backpack, don't dare to put it on the car at will, don't think that these are honest people with clean hands and feet, if you really think about it, it is estimated that all the kung fu things will not be found in a blink of an eye.

Yan Xu felt a little strange about the caravan, because Jinke in Apple Town suddenly handled two truckloads of goods at a low price, and replaced them with a cart of fresh apples and a cart of specially made fragrant cider.

But the value of those two truckloads is completely higher than that of two truckloads of apples and cider, and it is easier to store for a long time, as long as it reaches a larger city, it is completely possible to get more profits, and it is not a double or double difference.

It's obviously a loss-making deal, but no merchant would do that unless it would bring them more profit, so there's definitely something wrong with it, and it's related to Appletown, and it won't last long.

However, Yan Xu didn't mean to delve into it, no matter what conspiracy there was, it had nothing to do with him, he was not a nosy person.

"It smells so strong, why do I suddenly think that apples are also delicious?" Jiang Cheng touched his nose and said a little strangely.

Yan Xu was stunned, Jiang Cheng was a werewolf, he was not interested in any food except meat, how could he suddenly think that apples were delicious? Is the difficulty problem with the apple?

Although it was common for caravans to stay in the wilderness at night, the caravanserais, both the guards and the men, complained a little, because they had passed through a small town in the evening, and they could have stayed there for the night, instead of hurrying and setting up camp in the dark night.

However, after Jinke opened the two barrels of cider, all this resentment disappeared, and everyone only cared about enjoying their own glass of cider.

After eating black bean paste with black bread and nibbling on an apple, the guards began to arrange for the night to be on guard, and the men were already wrapped in old blankets and fell asleep.

As a rare long-range attack in the team, Shu Ke received preferential treatment and did not need to go to the night watch, but he did not rest, but came to Yan Xujiangcheng and the two of them.

"The Fruit of the Gods." Although he heard terrible news, Yan Xu's tone was still calm, and Jiang Cheng's face did not change much, because this kind of legend has been heard by people who often surf the Internet, and they are excited.

Only Shu Ke's face was full of nervousness and excitement, and even the excitement kept moving for a moment, as if he couldn't find a suitable position, after all, compared to Yan Xu and other outsiders, he knew more about its preciousness when he grew up listening to the legends of the gods' orchard.

"Legend has it that the Orchard of the Gods has three entrances, one of which is near Appletown, which is said to have been founded by a nobleman who came to find the entrance but never found it." Shuk taunted the story he had heard from Uncle Booker, looked mysteriously left and right, and continued.

"It is said that there are three miraculous fruit trees growing in the orchard of the gods, the one on the left is the wisdom fruit tree that brings wisdom to people, the golden apple tree that brings strength to people in the middle, and the one on the right is the fruit tree of life that brings people back to life. When the fruit is ripe, the three entrances to the Circle of the Gods will appear in a random place, and if the lucky guy can enter, then he will have a chance to obtain these fruits with magical powers. Shuk said as he looked at a place with an expectant gaze, as if there was an entrance to the orchard of the gods.

"But there are three guards in the Orchard of the Gods, namely the Greedy Serpent who guards the Fruit of Wisdom, the three-headed Chimera who guards the Golden Apple, and the Emerald Dragon who guards the Fruit of Life." Shuke snapped his fingers and said, saying that he was almost silent, because these three powerful creatures could kill him even if they sneezed, let alone facing each other head-on.

"You still haven't said why the caravan has anything to do with the Orchard of the Gods." Yan Xu had to remind Shu Ke of his digression, and Jiang Cheng also looked at Shu Ke speechlessly.

"I once asked the oldest mortal in the town how to enter the orchard of the gods and successfully pick fruits, and the old man told me that wearing the crown of wisdom can see through the tricks of the greedy serpent, wearing the golden fleece to resist the deadly breath of the three-headed chimera, and holding the golden horn can pass through the dreams of the emerald dragon."

"It is said that these three treasures come from the golden sheep in the orchard of the gods, and only the golden sheep who have eaten these three fruits can freely enter and exit the orchard of the gods, so these three treasures all have a peculiar fruity fragrance, and the golden fleece is the fragrance of golden apples." Shuk obviously didn't know what was going on, and told the stories he heard when he was young step by step, and the last sentence was the real point.

"You mean the scent is from the Golden Fleece?" Yan Xu touched his chin and said curiously.

"Yes, I grew up in Apple Town, and I have eaten every apple in Apple Town, and I have never smelled this smell of apples, so I guessed that it was the smell of Golden Fleece, because the people who founded Apple Town in the year of teleportation had Golden Fleece, but because they didn't find the entrance to the Orchard of the Gods, they died of old age." Shuke said with some excitement.
