Chapter 281: Return to the Forest of Mist
After Yang Yi and the others entered the tent, a map of the Tianxing Continent with a length of five meters and a width of three meters hung in front of them. This map is more detailed, large and small cities, rivers, seas, wilderness mountains, etc. are clearly visible on the map. The four empires occupy only about one-tenth of the land area, and are basically located in the central and eastern regions.
The Cold Moon Empire is slightly northerly, with its northernmost part bordering the Far North, the Flame Empire slightly south, and its southernmost part adjacent to the Flood Forest, the Wind Cloud Empire is located in the east, and half of its borders are adjacent to the East China Sea, while the Star Empire is sandwiched in the middle by the Cold Moon, Flame, and Wind Cloud Empires.
In the southwest of the Star Empire, there is an extremely vast desert, whose area is a few points larger than the area of the four major empires, commonly known as the Western Desert. In the core area of the Western Desert, there is a disappointment desert that the world regards as a forbidden place, and except for the peerless powerhouse, no one can survive through this disappointment desert.
In the northwest of the Star Empire, there is an endless mountain range, which is the Moyun Mountain Range, which is also extremely vast, and it is a gathering place for soul beasts and spirit beasts, which is divided into three parts: the periphery, the periphery and the core area. Among them, there are many soul beasts and spirit beasts, and even the core area has god-level soul beasts or spirit beasts.
The area between and west of the Moyun Mountains and the Western Desert is a wild land, and it is also the most chaotic area in the Tianxing Continent, where all kinds of fierce characters and criminals with the most heinous crimes gather, among which there are inevitably many people in the Demon Dao. In this region, there are no laws and regulations, and the concept of the strong is completely followed. The strong can do whatever they want here, while the weak can only be bullied here, and are commonly known as purgatory on earth. And the destination of the Free Mercenary Group's escort of minerals this time, the Iron City, is in this realm of chaos where there are no rules to speak of.
After Li Yan's detailed explanation, Yang Yi and the others have basically understood the distance of this escort mission. This journey is divided into three stages. Stage 1: Go to the Sun Stone Mine at the junction of the Star Empire, the Flame Empire, and the Western Desert to load. Stage 2: Avoid the Disillusioned Desert and travel to the Realm of Chaos. Stage 3: Go to the Iron City to hand over the mission.
As soon as the three stages came out, Yang Yi and the others decided on the specific route after half an hour of discussion with Li Yan, and roughly estimated the time of the escort mission, which may take about half a year, and this is still without interference.
Yang Yi looked at the detailed route in front of him, took a deep breath, and said with a solemn face: "It seems that this escort mission is not simple." ”
"Yes, the distance is too far, the time is too long, and the danger is extremely high, I'm afraid" Xiang Haoyu stopped halfway through his words, his face was solemn and thoughtful.
"I'm afraid it's not that easy to do. At this time, Wang Ye said lightly.
When Yang Yi and Xiang Haoyu heard this, they nodded slightly, which was regarded as acquiescing to Wang Ye's words.
Li Yan looked at the three people with solemn and hesitant faces, knowing that this escort mission had already put a heavy burden on their shoulders. However, he also understood the hesitation of the three of them, after all, the slightest carelessness in this mission would bury this elite team.
"Commander Yang, if you feel a little embarrassed, you can refuse this mission, and our Wanbao Pavilion will not embarrass you. Li Yan said slowly.
"Uncle Li, we have no intention of retreating, we still have to take the task. It's just that we're pondering why your Wanbao Pavilion chose our Free Mercenary Group to carry out this escort mission. One hundred thousand low-level Yuan Crystals can completely invite a fifth-level or even sixth-level mercenary group. At this time, Yang Yi faced Li Yan and was light
Said lightly.
Li Yan looked at Yang Yi's eyes that were as plain as water, without any waves, and exuded a faint coercion, subconsciously took a step back, and replied: "Captain Yang, your strength is no worse than those fifth-level mercenary groups, or even stronger. And you have a high level of integrity, and we have eliminated villains together before, so it is better to choose you than other mercenary groups. ”
Li Yan is worthy of being an old driver, and there seem to be many flawed answers, but Yang Yi has no holes to drill, and he can't figure out their true thoughts of Wanbao Pavilion for a while. However, he can conclude that this escort mission is not simply a mercenary mission, and it seems to have another purpose.
"Hahaha, Uncle Li, our free mercenary group has taken over this escort mission, and I don't know when we will be able to leave. Yang Yi looked at Li Yan, whose face did not change, and said with a smile.
When Li Yan heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if Yang Yi really kept asking, maybe he would really see what was famous. If that were the case, the patriarch's test of them would be in vain.
"Head Yang, you have already taken over this mission, and the time is up to you to decide, as long as you can deliver it within the specified time. Li Yan said with a smile.
"Alright, let's go. As soon as Yang Yi let go of his arrogance, he walked out of the tent.
"Feiyu, count the supplies and get ready to go. Yang Yi walked out of the tent, walked to Guo Feiyu, who was lying on his back, looking up at the sky, and ordered.
"Yes. Guo Feiyu got up suddenly, responded sternly, and then ordered the others to light the supplies and make all preparations for departure.
"Report to the head of the regiment, the supplies have been cleared, and the personnel have been raised. Guo Feiyu and the others quickly made the preliminary preparations, and said with a stern face.
"Well, let's go, target the City of Steel. As soon as Yang Yi gave the order, he asked Guo Feiyu and the others to escort the carriage to look outside the Xinghui mine.
However, there were too many heavy objects on the wind cart, and although the winged wind horse pulled it, it was extremely difficult and its speed was extremely slow.
Yang Yi looked at the wind carriage that melted into the turtle speed, and said with a stern face: "Feiyu, what's the matter?"
"Commander, the Star Stone Mine is too heavy, and we won't use this wind carriage, and the winged wind won't move. Guo Feiyu smiled helplessly.
When Yang Yi heard this, his face was embarrassed, he turned his head to face Li Yan, and asked embarrassedly: "That, Uncle Li, how to use this wind carriage." ”
Li Yan shook his head and smiled, walked to the side of the carriage, pointed to the three small buttons of red, yellow, and green next to the wheel on the right side of the carriage, and said, "These three buttons are switches." The three colors of red, yellow, and green represent three different levels of power, namely high, medium, and low. The higher the power, the better the effect and the faster and more energy is consumed. The green low-power can reduce the weight of the cargo by 10 times, while the yellow and red medium and high power can reduce the weight by 100 times and 1,000 times respectively. ”
"If the energy in the hedron is depleted, you can press this button to replace it. At the same time, the windmill also has a certain degree of defense and the ability to accelerate suddenly. Li Yan went around to the other different-colored buttons next to the wheel on the left side and continued.
When Yang Yi heard this, he realized: "I see, I understand this time." ”
"Feiyu, understand this time, let's go!" Yang Yi ordered again to Guo Feiyu.
"Yes. Guo Feiyu answered a few times and pressed the green button of all the wind carriages. Suddenly
A faint breeze poured out from under the body of the wind-drawn carriage, and the strong wind-strong carriage lifted slightly. At this moment, the winged wind horse can easily pull the ore and walk out.
Yang Yi saw through the principle of the wind carriage at a glance, and said clearly: "I see, it seems that this wind carriage uses wind power to reduce weight." ”
"Uncle Li, let's set off now, you better go back early, this mission our free mercenary group will definitely deliver it safely within the specified time limit. After Yang Yi saluted Li Yan with a fist, he followed the carriage.
"Uncle Li, just wait for our good news. Xiang Haoyu just said hello and followed closely, as for Li Lingxuan and Leng Xiyan, they also followed.
"Gone. As soon as Wang Ye opened his mouth coldly, he also chased after him.
"Goodbye, and I hope you can deliver it safely. Li Yan looked at Yang Yi and the others who were gradually moving away, and muttered in a low voice.
After Yang Yi and the others walked out of the Xinghui Mine with a wind carriage, they directly took out three flags of the Free Mercenary Group, inserted them in the front and back of the convoy, and then secretly pressed the yellow button, and went to the Lieyang Stone Mine at a very fast speed. And the four beasts of Xiaobai, Xiaozi, Xiaowolf, and Xiaored were also released at this time. As for Li Yan, he silently followed behind Yang Yi and the others, followed by two other people, both of whom were masters of the Imperial Realm. Since the Starlight Mine is located in the northwest of the Star Empire, and the Sun Stone Mine is located due southwest, you must pass through the Mist Forest to reach it successfully.
Ten days later, when Yang Yi looked at the fog surrounding him and slowly stopped, memories flashed in his mind. Even the two brothers and sisters, Xiang Haoyu and Mu Qing, were full of nostalgia, and seemed to think of the many pictures of them crossing the Misty Forest together. The others looked at the faces of several people, and knew that they were in memory at this time, and chose to remain silent and stay quietly in place.
"Xiao Yi, we have come to the Forest of Mists again. I don't know when Xiang Haoyu said lightly, breaking the calm atmosphere in front of him.
"yes, back in the day, we were in this fog for months. Yang Yi said with emotion.
"I wonder if the brothers of the Mercenary Regiment are okay now. At this time, Mu Qing missed.
"I guess they've become the most powerful mercenary group in the region. Yang Yi smiled lightly, as if he thought of the group of brothers who had been with them and had been born and died.
"Brother Yang Yi, do you think we can still meet them? Mu Qing looked up at the sky and asked lightly.
Yang Yi combed his short hair from front to back with both hands, smiled faintly, and replied: "If you are destined to meet thousands of miles away, you can only depend on the will of heaven." ”
"Xiao Yi, the Forest of Mist should not be far from Wushan, should we go back. At this moment, Xiang Haoyu slowly spoke, making Yang Yi fall into deep thought.
"Hey, forget it, the entrance to the Misty Forest we are in now is still a little far from Wushan, and the time is tight at the moment, so let's focus on completing the task, and we'll go back and have a look when we return." Yang Yi took a deep breath, his face was full of nostalgia, and he replied.
Xiang Haoyu looked at Yang Yi, who was timid in his hometown, and pursed his lips and said, "Actually, it won't take long." ”
Yang Yi shook his head lightly and replied, "Let's hurry." ”
As soon as Yang Yi's words fell, he stepped directly into the fog. Xiang Haoyu looked at the disappearing back, shook his head and smiled, and stepped into the long-lost fog. In this way, the Free Mercenary Group stepped into the labyrinthine Forest of Mist.
