The undulating grassland stretched forward in front of the players, and the vast convoy and migration team slowly disappeared to the end of the emerald green and sky blue, which changed at some point, and the same landscape that should have been the same appeared a little different—gray-white felt cloth, charred black-brown wood, a leaky, seemingly uninhabited tribal camp with the wind blowing over the grassland, The tribal marker hanging from the tent appeared in Duan Qing's field of vision: "This is the one you mentioned before-"

"Yes, this is the camp that was abandoned by the Wab." Nodding his head, he replied with his arms folded as he approached, "According to their origins and their own accounts, this tribe used to flow in this direction, and now they have returned to this area because of the migration route of Surtu. ”

"But isn't migration all about taking everything with you? I see that they even demolished the tent itself before, why now-"

"It's hard to explain, because their people don't need so many tents at all." Shrugging his shoulders, Gedmayne turned around and jumped out of the carriage: "I'll go to the front and take a look, Surtu's next order should appear soon." ”

"The Wab people seem to have been going through some kind of miserable experience all the way." With a slight sigh of relief, Duan Qing, who had some understanding, looked at the camp that remained like ruins: "I don't know what kind of sins they have carried, and they have actually brought the continuous disasters to themselves." ”

"It's probably going to be on us now." Xue Lingphantom Bing on the side also pursed his mouth helplessly: "If Surtu really promised the old patriarch something, so as to bring back a token that is enough to rule the entire Wabu clan, it will be equivalent to us taking over the entire Wabu clan." ”

"Creditor's rights and debts are acquired together, right?" As a result, Duan Qing's sigh became thicker: "Poor Surtu, I can almost foresee that the burden on his body is starting to get heavier and heavier...... Let's go over and have a look? ”

"If you're planning to stop here, it's best to take a look." Snow Spirit Phantom Ice waved her hand and replied, "At least the danger of this place should be eliminated, otherwise-"

"We might be in a state of being attacked on our backs."

The patrolling horse team and the noisy team of players also began to gradually converge with the shouts and shouts made by each other in the migratory team, mixed with the noise of the rising sun from afar carrying the prey and constantly showing off and taunting around, but because of the relationship between the large sniper rifle that had appeared in the hands of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, the light in the eyes of the rest of the onlookers was also full of weirdness and fear at this time. Ignoring these strange gazes, the carriage belonging to Duan Qing's team quickly joined the migration team parked here, and after feeling the bump stop, he also jumped out of the car and approached the crowd in front of him: "How is it?" Is there any useful information? ”

"The reconnaissance team has been sent over as soon as possible, and I have also reminded them of some things that should be paid attention to, so let's wait here for a while."

"As the first person in such a large mixed team, aren't you going to take the lead?"

"I don't have that intention, I'm no longer the number one warrior of the tribe who has to charge forward everywhere, and my fate now belongs not only to me, but also to the countless people watching me behind me."

A brief conversation unfolded between Surtu and the rest of the figures gathered around him, and was soon interrupted by a report from the front: "Report! We checked it out as fast as we could! No traces of anyone hiding in the camp were found! ”

"But—" The man who reported the report changed his gaze to another Wab warrior who had also just returned here, "According to this warrior, the marks here are clearly different from those they left when they first left. ”

“…… Isn't it because of a storm or a wild beast invasion? ”

"Don't underestimate our fighting skills, we can still tell the difference." Still with the same lukewarm attitude, the Wab warrior who raised his head with his eyelids rolled his eyelids replied with great clarity and certainty: "It is not some trace left by nature, it is the product of the same warriors as us, those who are chasing us, they must have searched this place." ”

"-Looks like we won't be able to stay in this place any longer."

After thinking for a while, Surtu, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, then made his own decision: "Even if it is only a possibility, choosing this place to rest will take the greatest risk for us, which is not something that our current migration team can afford. ”

"But we can't afford to travel for a long time." The answer was the words of another middle-aged Wab warrior standing aside: "If we continue to advance, those women, old and young in the team will definitely lose the strength to continue walking." ”

"I can't help it, just think I'm trying to walk a little longer." With his eyes fixed on the sheepskin map in his hand, Surtu, who was once again caught up in the thought process, was momentarily surprised before he made his next decision: "Here. ”

"Let the advance troops speed up, with enough weapons and bows and arrows, and take this place." His finger stopped between the undulating waves of the map's grassland: "We'll get to this area before dark." ”

The sound of horses' hooves then crossed the front of the convoy again and again, and galloped towards the end of the steppe with countless young warriors and their horses, and the cavalry with the sound of shouts and whips quickly crossed the ashes of the camp ruins, accompanied by the sight of the migratory procession that set off again without glancing at the sight passing by the ruins: "This, this transit station is so abandoned? ”

"Plans can't keep up with changes, after all, there are still risks."

Sitting in a carriage in the center of the convoy, Duan Qing, who was also looking at the ruins, replied with a bit of helplessness in his expression: "But I didn't hesitate to give up my original plan of marching-heh, I once again realized Surtu's decisiveness." ”

"Hey, look what I found." Before Xue Lingphantom Ice could say his next sentence, the rising sun, who had come out of his head at some point, appeared above the carriage with a face full of black ash: "They didn't clean the battlefield, and these swords left over look like they are all of the highest grade!" If you sell it to a caravan, you should be able to make a lot of money, right? ”

"Why can't I find your people all of a sudden, and you went into that ruin?" Gedman, who was rolling his eyes, then complained to the guy who looked like he had just drilled out of the ashes: "Even if you don't care about digging through the garbage heap, you should pay more attention to the atmosphere and safety, right?" What if there is an attack? ”

"Since it is not suitable for stationing and resting, we can't let go of this only opportunity to pass by." Giving the other party a disdainful look, Asahi Dongsheng, who was sitting in the crowd, replied meaninglessly: "My strength is limited, and the value that can be collected in this momentary opportunity is so much, you will just settle for it." ”

"This guy...... I think sooner or later you will die under your own recklessness. So Gedmayne also retracted his expression of blowing his beard and glaring: "In short, because there is no transit station, we have lost the opportunity to build a resurrection point in the first place, and the risk of us hanging back to the other side of the mainland because of an accident is also greater...... Have you heard about the next steps in Sourtu? ”

"Of course, the new target point is not very far from here, but there is still a certain distance." Duan Qing nodded: "Presumably, taking into account the travel conditions of this migration team and the progress of the journey, we have taken the most suitable location." ”

"Looking at this, we might be sleeping on the grassland again." Looking at the place that Duan Qing then marked on the map, Xue Ling's phantom ice brows also wrinkled: "I'm used to this kind of rhythm of camping anytime and anywhere, but is that place really safe?" ”

"This is also the question I want to ask, but considering that the information we have is not equal to that of Surtu, the basis and reason for the other party's decision are not something that we can speculate at will." Putting away his gaze and the adventurer's manual in his hand, Duan Qing, who had grown up, turned to the front of the carriage: "But considering the time, the possibility of a change in this No. 2 plan is already very low, so-"

"Let's prepare according to this new plan first." He jumped off the top of the carriage and disappeared between the slowly moving groups: "I'll try to interview that guy again." “

The temporary change of plan caused a moment of commotion in the entire migration procession, and the complaints and whispers from the non-combatants quickly disappeared into the bumps of the march, and the gray-robed figure belonging to Duan Qing quickly passed between these panicked crowds of women, children and old people, and found the edge of the carriage to which Surtu belonged - unlike the other members of the convoy who were in charge of guarding the surrounding area, the carriage belonging to Surtu was also surrounded by everyone in the center of the convoy, The carriage procession, which represented the main members of the Lufin Chamber of Commerce and the main members of the Wab tribe, was also lined up on the parallel road not far from them.

However, contrary to Duan Qing's expectations, this burly and strong man who should cherish himself and protect his safety at this time sat on the roof of the carriage overlooking everything as if he was learning from their adventurers.

"Yo, you're here."

Still wearing the image of a headband, the burly man who saw Duan Qing coming greeted the other party with a relaxed expression, and the latter climbed to the top of the same carriage out of breath, and then waved to the other party who was close at hand as a response: "So many people are watching, is it really good not to hide in the carriage?" ”

"If anyone doesn't like what I'm doing, then just attack me." Casually waving his hand, Surtu's expression was still as unmoving as Duan Qing had seen: "Maybe this is also a means to solve the problem." ”

"That's anyway, I get a headache just thinking about that situation and the chaos." Duan Qing, who covered his head and ignored all kinds of strange eyes around him, sat casually beside Surtu: "This migration team has carried too much weight, even if it is for them, you can't die easily." ”

"Thank you for the reminder, The Chosen." Lowering his head and saying these words, Surtuna's smiling expression gradually disappeared: "I have drawn my sword again, so I will naturally take responsibility for my own coping—and the same is true for you." ”

"Don't, don't, we don't have that much ability." Duan Qing hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't call us the Chosen One, apart from more trouble, have we done anything beneficial to the Su Clan?" ”

"On the contrary, I now believe more and more that you are the chosen one." Shaking his head, Surtu's face rose again: "What you have done for the Sioux tribe, and what you have encountered later in the Varro ruins, is not something that any warrior of any tribe can do." ”

"Hey, it seems like we've just blown up a part of the leylines, and by the way, we've just brought out the ugliness that has been buried underground for thousands of years." Duan Qing scratched his head: "Where is this a great achievement?" ”

"Regardless of the danger of those creatures you told us earlier, the mere release of the leylines is enough to make our tribe fearful."

With a low smile on the corner of his mouth, Surtu's burly silhouette was now fully visible in the oncoming wind: "Together with the precursors that appeared in the ruins of the wind, you have almost pointed out the direction for our progress. ”

"Directions?" Duan Qing blinked his eyes slightly puzzled: "What direction?" ”

"Heading to the center of the storm, of course." Pointing to the source of the wind, Surtuna's headband, which was stretched out forward, also swayed back and forth in the wind of the steppe: "Don't you feel it? Because of the leyline energy you have unleashed, the winds that have raged on this grassland are not as fierce as they used to be. ”

"This has been one of the biggest obstacles to our access to Mount Kinabalu, and now it is showing signs of disappearing—along the path you have opened."

He turned his head again and smiled.

"Isn't this something that only the Chosen One can do?"
