Shu Ke didn't intend to be a burden, even if he was just a miscellaneous person in the eyes of Yan Xujiang and Jiangcheng, he still tried to play his role, such as pathfinding.

Although it is dangerous to explore the road, Shu Ke is not afraid of danger, what he is most afraid of is that he can only be a bullied sentinel or fruit farmer if he is driven back, before Yan Xu wanted him to follow the sunspot and them back to Apple Town, but he refused, so he desperately wanted to show his worth, he wanted to stay, and he wanted to become strong.

Shu Ke controlled his breathing according to Yan Xu's instructions, tried to walk lightly through the forest beside the road, and was always vigilant. Instead of holding his own bow and arrows in his hand, he had a delicate crossbow left behind, with a mechanism on it that could hold the short crossbow bolt on it, so it wouldn't be easily jolted down, and it was best used in sudden situations, and what was originally the standard equipment of the Scarlet Wraith's wanderer was now Shuk's favorite piece of equipment.

As he patrolled away from the town, the monsters and bandits on both sides of the road began to multiply, and it didn't take long for Shuk to spot three goblins hiding in the grass.

The three-headed goblin will not cause any loss to Yan Xu at all, and they will not even dare to come out, after all, the goblin is a very timid creature, unless the number and size are dominant, otherwise they will not do it easily at all, but it is a challenge for Shuke.

Hiding behind a tree, Shuck adjusted his breathing, then carefully looked around, and after finding no other enemies, he lurked lightly behind the three goblins, although there was some movement in the process, but the three goblins chirping and pushing each other perfectly concealed all this.

Although there are many creatures in this world, the structure of most of the humanoid creatures has not changed much, and the basic points are the same, so Shu Ke followed Yan Xu's instructions and aimed his crossbow at the back of a goblin, aiming at the gap between the ribs as much as possible, and then pulled the trigger.

The crossbow bolts are short and severely lacking in lethality, but they have good penetration, and can even pierce light leather armor at close range, which is still lethal enough once it hits the vital point, especially when facing weak enemies.

The sharp crossbow arrow easily pierced the flesh, so the direction of the ribs changed slightly, but it still pierced the heart next to it under inertia.

The howling goblin startled the two companions beside him, and the timid goblin chose to flee instead of helping his companion in the first place, which gave the other party more chances.

Shu Ke put away his crossbow and pulled out his short sword, rushed out like a wolf, pierced the opponent's heart with a sword in the frightened eyes of the goblin, and then quickly pulled out the short sword that had been transformed by Yan Xu into a blood groove, avoiding spurting blood while being ready to attack again, it can be seen that under Yan Xu's teaching, he has a bit of a veteran posture.

Unfortunately, Shuk still didn't know about the goblins, and when he stood firm, the last goblin had already run seven or eight meters away.

Relieved, Shuk stabbed his dagger into a nearby tree, expertly removed the bow and arrow he was carrying, and then aimed to release the bowstring.

The pig iron arrows easily pierced the goblin's thin small physique, and the goblin could not escape under the severe pain, but could only wail on the ground, and finally Shuk relieved it of its pain with a short sword.

"It's pretty good, it's very adaptable."

Not far away, Yan Xu and Jiang Cheng stood watching Shu Ke's every move, and seeing where Shu Ke stood cheering after killing the last enemy, Jiang Cheng said indifferently. Although the performance is good, but limited by the growth potential, even if Shu Ke is promoted to the full level, he can't beat a mid-level professional, not to mention Jiang Cheng, who has great potential and has a priesthood, of course, he is qualified not to take Shu Ke seriously.

"Without the help of the Lord God Crystal, the aborigines here are better than nine out of nine trialists, even after the baptism of the Lord God World." Yan Xu said lightly.

"Is it because it's too backward and the natives are more barbaric?" Jiang Cheng, who has been hunted down, naturally knows the combat power of the natives here, even ordinary soldiers who are not professionals have the ability to do a dozen or ten earthlings.

"In the era of cold weapons, many people think that the off-road brute is stronger, but in fact it is not, when the attributes and skills are not much different, the spirit and willpower of the struggle are the key to determining the victory, not who is more savage. It's a pity that the trialists lack the spirit and willpower to fight the most, even if there are still many trialists who probably still think that this is a real game rather than a struggle for survival, the main god crystal is not only a plug-in, but also a shackle that restricts the trialists. ”

In Yan Xu's eyes, the vast majority of trialists are not suitable warrior candidates, they are too individualized, lack of sacrifice and companionship consciousness, and the help of the main god crystal is nothing, even if they have undergone modern education, at most they are used to develop the economy and civil affairs.

But the whole era is not something that a group of modernly educated trialists can promote, not to mention that this is still a world with gods, unless they have a strong backing behind them that can withstand the impact of the old era, otherwise they will not leave even a bit of scum in the tide of the old era.

Because of this, although he was looking for a trialist, Yan Xu still did not stop absorbing aboriginal talents, even if Shu Ke was just the son of an ordinary fruit farmer, Yan Xu was still willing to try to cultivate him.

Jiang Cheng couldn't fully understand Yan Xu's thoughts, after all, in his eyes, the aborigines were just a bunch of barbaric natives, and only the trialists were their kind. Of course, he did not deny that there were also masters among the aborigines, but in his thoughts, with the help of the main god crystal, plus the priesthood, they would stand at the top of this world sooner or later, and all the natives would have to stand aside.

Yan Xu didn't mean to correct Jiang Cheng's thoughts, after all, everyone has their own ideas, and it is not easy to want others to fully agree with their ideas, but fortunately, Yan Xu doesn't need people to agree with his ideas now, as long as they can implement them, if you don't want to implement them, please go away.

The journey was just a boring process for the strong, except for training Shuke, Yan Xu spent more time studying the map, after all, their next destination, Redwood Town, was not a peaceful place.

Redwood Town not only produces rare mahogany that can make wands, but also expensive fire-based magic crystals, magic materials, and red copper, which are of great value.

The only pity is that this place is very dangerous, surrounded by the Red Leaf Valley, the Red Sand River, the Red Wood Forest, the Red Copper Mountain Range in the middle.

There is a tribe of orcs living in the Red Leaf Valley, who call themselves the Red Dragon Orcs and are very powerful in combat.

The Hongsha River is very dangerous, and the only gentle beach that can cross the river is occupied by a large group of red-scaled fish people, and many people who want to cross the river are buried in the belly of the fish.

The Redwood Forest produces precious magical mahogany, but because the magical elements here are extremely active, a large number of magical beasts are produced in the forest, which is very dangerous.

As for the Copper Mountains, the copper produced here can create weapons with fire damage even if they are not enchanted, but there is a kobold kingdom here, which is not so easy to enter.

On the newly bought map, the closest to Yan Xu and them is the Hongsha River, and where there is a fixed ferry, it is also the main channel connecting Redwood Town with the outside world, and it takes a long detour to enter Redwood Town from other places, and it is not easy to walk, so Yan Xu chose to go to the Hongsha River ferry without thinking about it.

It's a pity that Yan Xu, who is not familiar with this, doesn't know that this ferry is idle for eleven months throughout the year, and only during the dry season of one month a year can he rely on the ferry to communicate with the outside world, and this period also happens to be the breeding period of the red scale fish people, they will return to the upstream with more sufficient water to breed, which is the safest period of the Hongsha River, and there are few boats that dare to go down the river at other times.

So of course, when Yan Xu and the others came to the Hongsha River ferry, they only saw an empty ferry, and they didn't find a few people at all.

No one likes to stay in a place where they will be harassed by fish people at all times, except for some people in the tavern, Yan Xu did not find the breath of living people in other places, so he could only sigh in the end, and had no choice but to take Jiang Cheng Shuke to the tavern, because this is the only place in the entire town where there are living people.

"Bill, you old bastard, why don't you pour a glass of wine into a bucket and sell it to us!"

The bald man with a red beard slammed the ale with pitiful foam on the table, staring at Bill who was still calmly wiping the wine glass with a vicious face, but unfortunately Bill, who obviously saw too much of this, didn't bother to raise his head, and said lightly.

"You can choose not to drink, this is my tavern, not your ship, and your redbeard can't take care of me here."

"Humph!"

Apparently a little jealous of Bill, Redbeard snorted angrily and took out a bottle of rum from behind him and poured it hard, and the vicious sailors sitting nearby all swallowed, but even the most senior drunkard did not dare to take a second look, because he was Redbeard.

"Huh? At this time, there are still people in your tavern? It's a relief from boredom. Redbeard carefully put away the last bottle of rum after two sips and said with a strange smile.

And the sailors who heard this stared at the door of the tavern with a playful expression, and some of the impatient sailors had even taken up their weapons, but thinking that they would have to stay here for a long time, they finally came up with a toy, which was better than a weapon with a fist, at least for a longer time.

"Huh!" Yan Xu, who was about to push the door outside the tavern, suddenly paused, he didn't expect to meet a master here, or two, it seems that this world is more dangerous than he imagined. Although he thought so, Yan Xu still pushed the door and walked into the tavern without hesitation.

As soon as he entered the door, he felt a lot of malicious gaze, and Yan Xuyi, who was sensitive to perception, frowned, but now that he had just arrived here, he didn't know anything, he didn't plan to stand up for the time being, not to mention that there were two masters here, if he really fought, Jiang Cheng Shuke and the two of them were estimated to be dead.
