23. See the light of day again
I had been running all day on the horse, and it was getting darker again, so I decided to take a good rest, although I was not very tired, but the horse I stepped on was sweating like rain. After finding a place with abundant water and grass, I became a wrangler for the time being. He led the horse and let him go and eat a hearty meal, and I picked a few fruits nearby and nibbled them. One man and one horse are considered to be full.
After four hours of clocking the magic clock as usual, I tied my horse to a secluded wood, and I climbed a large tree nearby, but in a position where I could see it as soon as I looked up. Fell asleep.
Four hours later, he was awakened by the magic clock, and hurriedly jumped off the tree, untied the reins of the warhorse, and began to continue running.
So I rode my horse through the clearing in the Walmart forest for a whole week, and of course every day I spent four hours resting, and after seven days, the dense woods stood in my sight. It's really similar to the dense forests on the edge of the ground, overgrown with weeds, thorns, and bushes. It seems that I have reached the edge of the Walmart Forest! I secretly analyzed, and the rest of the road was on my own! I looked at the fiery red war horse with some reluctance! Honestly, I really wanted to take it out with me if I could. However, the dense forest in front of him is not something that such a big guy can walk through. In desperation, I had no choice but to unsaddle and reins from its body.
"Alright! now you're free!" slapped his palm on the back of the warhorse!
The war horse screamed in pain, and ran away!
"Damn, it's really ruthless and unjust!" I looked at the horse with some self-deprecation.
Now the cleaver is gone, but I have already figured out a good way to cross the bush and forest! My luck is actually quite good, there is a set of hard leather armor and a shield on the back of the horse I snatched, and there is also a large axe, but the axe is too big for me to use, and his size is too heavy, so I threw him away early. Although the set of hard leather armor left behind was very different from my figure, and there was a strange smell of it, I still put it on my body. Then I picked up the big shield and squeezed into the dense bushes, I didn't plan to open the way with a knife, the reason why this was the case at the beginning was because everyone acted in a group, a few people were not easy to squeeze, and I had to take care of two delicate noble children, so I had to choose the more laborious method, but now I am alone, of course I will not do these thankless things. Besides, I still have a big shield and a set of hard leather armor, these two are good guys who go through the mountains and forests!
Compared to the past to cut the way one by one, my method is much easier now, the big shield under my push squeezed the dense weeds and bushes in front of me through an empty space just enough for me to pass, but the armor on my body blocked most of the stingers, bushes, etc. It's so convenient, and now it's more than three times as fast as it was through the dense forests on the edge of the Woma Forest.
So I was like a big boar and I was in the right direction. Because in such a dense forest, it is difficult to get sunlight, and I can only analyze the passage of time through the intensity of the light, of course, I have a magic clock in my waist bag, but I don't bother to take it out. Anyway, when I was tired, I rested, and when I rested enough, I continued to walk, until I couldn't see it, so I found a relatively tall tree and spent the night on it. I don't know how long it was, but I didn't even bother to open my fanny pack, even though my magic clock also had the function of a calendar record. So I rested when I was tired, went to bed when it was dark, and picked some fruit when I was hungry. This day, which I call wild boars through the forest, did not end until the bushes in front of me disappeared.
In front of me, there are still dense trees that cover the sky. But the glade in the woods was no longer the annoying thorny bushes.
It seems to be out of the confines of the Walmart Forest, I thought to myself. Look at the shield in your hand again, the original black shield has been brightened, and if you look closely, you can see patterns of different shades. And the armor on his body was also on the verge of disintegrating, but it was tied together by a few thick wires like cow tendons. Besides, my hair was already in clumps. Although there are no mirrors, I'm sure that once I go out with this appearance, I will definitely be killed by others as orcs.
Grandma's, it's really down! But I'm glad I finally escaped from the forest. After giving myself a few reasons to cheer me on, I took another step and continued in the direction of due north.
Walmart Forest, I think I will never forget that ghost place in my life, but at the same time, there are some regrets, in the legend of the previous life, there is not only the mysterious Walmart temple in the Walmart Forest, but also the Fallen Graveyard and the Abyss Demon Domain trapped in the Dark Two-Headed King Kong and the Dark Two-Headed Blood Demon, as well as the magical seaside hut, whether these are true or not, I haven't had a chance to witness it, so I escaped in disgrace, in my opinion, this trip to Walmart is really a failure, of course, if I can, I don't want to enter that place again in my lifeγ After all, curiosity can kill a cat, and I don't want to be that cat.
Unfortunately, I didn't know that it was impossible, and for a long time afterwards, I was in great trouble because of my overly perfect lie. I had to go out of this terrifying jungle several times, but that's for later.
Heading due north, I continued to move forward, and without the annoying bushes and thorns, I was able to reach the limit of my speed. Unfold your body and run with all your might. Finally, three days later, I saw the official road for the first time that I had not seen for a long time. But in order not to make people misunderstand it as an orc or something, I still consciously sorted out my appearance. The almost disintegrated orc armor was replaced by me, restored to my original ranger dress, a blue situation armor, and hair was also carefully cleaned by me found a small river, in this world, there is also the same concept as ancient China, the body hair and skin, the parents should not be lightly destroyed, so I had to resist the urge to cut my hair with a hundred battle knives, I don't want to see my mother's sad eyes. I had no choice, so I had to spend a morning washing and washing it and then tying it into a handful with a strip of cloth, and looking at it according to the reflection of the river, there were still a few places that were rolled into a stretch, which was really ugly!
But as long as it's going to be done! After tidying up, I'm sure that my appearance won't intimidate people! Only then can I walk along the official road with peace of mind! Walking unhurriedly, I believe that there should be passers-by here, as long as you find a passer-by and ask casually, you can know what kind of place this is!
Stomp, stomp!
There was an unhurried sound of horses' hooves behind him! When he turned around, he saw that it was a carriage pulling hay, and it was a young man who was driving it, leaning on the wheel, his eyes slightly closed, and seeing that the horsewhip that seemed to be dozing off in his right hand subconsciously had a whip and gently whipped it on the horse pulling the cart in front of him.
I hurried to make a stop in the middle of the road.
"Little brother, stop!" I stopped with both hands, and the old horse that pulled the cart also meekly stopped, turned back slightly, and seemed to wait for the master's instructions.
The old horse's sudden stop made the young man who was driving the car lean forward and almost rolled off the horse.
"Ahh
"What do you want to do!" The young man looked nervous on his chest: "I'm just a cart of forage, but nothing valuable!"
"Flutter!" I couldn't help but laugh out loud in my heart, feeling that this kid had taken me for a robbery.
"That!" I tried to keep my expression as natural as possible, showing the appearance of a harmless creature: "Look, I'm just a passerby, and I'm a lost passerby!
"Whew!" couldn't help patting his chest: "I thought it was a robbery!" The young man said and looked at me up and down again, nodded slightly, as if convinced that I was not a bad person, so he nodded: "Come up!"
"Thank you!" I hurriedly climbed into his carriage and sat down beside him!
"This, I want to know, how far away is this land from the League Heavy Earth City!"
"When you get to the land, there will be a post station to Tucheng! But it will take five days to travel. β
"Then turn the floor!"
"Rack!" Young Yang rode a whip, while driving the car, he looked me up and down again, and finally his eyes fell on the two swords on my left and right shoulders: "Are you a ranger?"
"Barely so!" I added embarrassedly, "just got the junior ranger certificate!"
"Hehe! yes! Actually, I am too!" said happily: "I am doing the task now, which is to send this cart of forage to the ground, and then I plan to go to Mengzhong Earth City!"
"Ahh
"Not really!" the boy grinned, showing his little white teeth! Anyway, it feels very ordinary, but it gives people a kind of intimate and gentle feeling. In short, it's the kind that makes people feel comfortable to watch. Especially when he laughs. The corners of his mouth and eyes are slightly upturned, and this kind of smile is very contagious, making people feel that their mood has become happy unconsciously infected by him.
"Hehe, do you know how far Nanling is from here?" I asked the question I wanted to know the most.
"There's no direct car to Nanling here!But you can take a car to Fengdi and then transfer to Nanling! The journey is also five days!" The young man said strangely, "Aren't you going to Tucheng?"
"Hehe, it's okay, just ask casually, I have a friend who lives in Nanling!" I said casually: "And I want to know, how far is it from Nanling to Mengzhong!"
"You're not from the League?" the boy looked at me with an affirmative expression.
"Actually, I'm from Biqi, and it's the first time I've gone far away!" I explained, "You know, as a ranger, if you stay in your hometown all the time, you won't make much progress!"
"Oh, I agree!" said the young man, revealing his little white teeth again, "So you ran away from home and lost yourself in the end!"
"Well, what do you say!" I scratched my scalp a little embarrassedly.
"Okay, I'm not going to tease you. The young man continued: "Nanling Dao Tucheng is not far away, only two days away!"
"Whew!" I couldn't help but pat my chest gently!
"It seems that that friend is very important to you!" continued the young man, as he drove the carriage, "a man or a woman!"
"Yes, there are men and women!" I explained.
"......." The young man gave me an angry look: "Cunning fellow!"
"Ahh
"Okay, it's none of my business whether it's a man or a woman!" the young man said and looked at me with a straight face: "My name is Jin Hong!
"Ahh
"Wow!, you're funny!" the boy laughed.
"Ahh
"Don't worry, I'll take care of you!" the young man said and raised the half moon in his hand proudly, don't look at me as a junior ranger to prove it, but my real strength is more than that.
"Oh!" I wondered, "And how good are you!"
"This, I don't know!" said the young man with an affirmative look: "Anyway, it's very powerful, it's very powerful!"
"I don't know, but it's amazing, it's amazing!" I was a little stunned, what a strange guy.
"Alright! It's ploughing the ground ahead!"
Following the boy's gaze, there was only a wall that towered above the horizon. Straight in a row. It's similar to the towns you can see in the saga, they are all square, with four walls and four gates. In fact, I want to know very much, the big sword guards in this world are not as absolutely invincible as the legend is set up, but it has not yet been put into action, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if it is really an invincible master, a knife to me in seconds, then there is no chance to cry, after all, this is not a game, you can still retreat when you die!
I looked at the broadsword guard at the door with a gloomy and inquiring look, and secretly wondered when I would find an opportunity to weigh the weight of the broadsword guard.
"Xingchen!" I felt the corner of my clothes be pulled, and I looked back in amazement.
"Those few have a grudge against you!" Jin Hong looked cautious.
"Nope!"
"Then why did you stare at people like that just now!" Jin Hong continued, "It's like you're going to eat them alive!"
"Ahh
"It's true!" Jin Hong said with palpitations: "Your expression just now is very scary!"
"Ahhh
"Oh!" Jin Hong showed an understanding expression: "However, don't put on that scary face if it's okay, it will be very troublesome if you are seen by the broadsword guards." β
"Yes!" I nodded.
When we entered the city gate, the four broadsword guards didn't even look at us, like four wooden statues. Not only us, but also everyone else who comes in and out.
"Okay! Now it's time to turn over the ground!" Jin Hong said and looked at me: "Are you going directly to the post station, or wait for me to hand in the task, and then go together!"
"I'll go with you to hand in the mission!" Actually, I was about to go to the Ranger bulletin board to check the progress of the mission of the Lower Dragon Gang.
"Oh!" Jin Hong nodded slightly, and then the horse whipped lightly. The old horse, who pulled the cart, continued on its way.
It is a small city, the layout of the street is no different from the maple leaf town, but the flow of people is much larger, on both sides of the street, there are many shops, it can be seen that the economy of this small city is still very developed, the street comes and goes, the carriage and the flow of people, it seems crowded and lively. Most of them are civilians dressed in cloth, and there are many rangers wearing light helmets and carrying weapons, and occasionally you can see a few nobles in colorful clothes. During the shuttle, it seems leisurely.
The cries of the hawkers, the chuckles of the girls, the laughter of the children, and even the barking of dogs, came to my ears from time to time.
The whole town gives people a feeling of relaxation, cheerfulness and liveliness.
"What a great place!" I exclaimed.
"Yes!" Jin Hong looked at me in surprise: "How can you see it!"
"Look at the people on the street!" I chuckled, "and listen to the voices of the street!"
"Look at people!" Jin Hong's eyes widened, pricked up her ears, and swept around, and after a long time, she still had an unknown look: "I don't see anything special!"
"Hehe!" I chuckled, "I'll feel it later!"
"What!" Jin Hong said angrily: "I look old-fashioned and have gone through all the vicissitudes of life!"
"............." I was stunned, and he saw through it.
There's the Ranger bulletin board in front of you!
Like Maple Town, this bulletin board is like a station, with rangers in armor and weapons coming in and out.
Walking through the door and turning around, Jin Hong found a counter for task handover.
"Mission number 365479," Jin Hong said, pulling out the task number wooden card and handing it to the administrator.
"The task number is 365479, and it took three days to escort a truckload of forage from Linchuan to the ground!" The administrator nodded slightly: "Arrive at the destination within the task deadline! Now complete! The task is cancelled." β
"Good job!" the young administrator chuckled, flipped through a large notebook, and jotted down a few strokes on it.
"Thank you!" Jin Hong bowed slightly and smiled.
"That!" I finally found an opportunity to interject, "I want to know if the Dragon Gang's escort mission has been completed!"
"Oh!" the Administrator looked at me slightly, "If it's not for the members of this gang, you don't have access to check the progress of the mission!" The Administrator gestured apologetically.
"I'm a member of the Dragons!" I said, pulling out my Ranger certificate and explaining, "It's just that I got separated from my friends during the mission, so please, please tell me!"
"Yes!

The administrator looked at me with some surprise, "You're the deputy gang of the Dragon Gang!"
"Yes!" I nodded slightly
Immediately, the administrator turned out a thick book: "Encha has it!"
The last quest that the Dragon Gang picked:

"Mission progress completed!" I muttered to myself, then overjoyed, and almost yelled, "The mission progress is complete, which means that they are still alive!"
"That's right!" the Administrator continued, "Is there anything else you need help with?"
I shook my head and said gratefully, "Thank you!"
