Chapter 273: The Wind Rises
The camp had disappeared from sight, and as far as the eye could see, there was a vast green meadow, which reminded me of the scene when I had just crossed that meeting and returned to Rog's camp with Lal and them, and the bloody wasteland had been separated for more than two years.
Coincidentally, this time only I and Lal followed the convoy, and there was not even a mercenary in the other, which was much less than the previous vast adventure team of more than a dozen or even dozens of them, so my responsibility can be described as very heavy, the five ghost wolves were all released, and the entire convoy was surrounded far away in the direction of the pentagram, but their tall size and the ferocious aura that exuded it once made the camel mule beast pulling the cart so frightened that its limbs were weak, and even its head was buried in the grass, Later, I had to let the ghost wolf follow from a distance of a few hundred meters, but fortunately, there were lazy crows patrolling in the air, and there were highly poisonous vines guarding underground.
Lal and Aunt Lisa are doing on a carriage, Aunt Sari has been much more stable, but the pain and reluctance in her eyes are always so obvious, Lal is comforting on the side, sitting in another carriage with interest and looking around, speaking of which, this should be the first time she has stepped out of the scope of Rogue camp, for civilians who have no power, this is a bastard's birdcage world, no matter how big it is, there is only a little place for them.
Keep your eyes on the barbarian brothers who fall at the end. These two slivers are in a panic, and would rather walk on their legs than ride in a car. Just now Doug was still complaining loudly about why he didn't see a monster, please, this is still within the scope of the camp, how can you meet a monster, you really think that the old drunkard and her little soldiers eat white rice.
Seeing them swaying left and right like carrion corpses, I leaned in and smiled: "Boss Doug, Boss Geff." How about doing my little brother a favor? ”
"Wu, you cunning stinky boy, don't scream so hot, you must have some more ghost ideas in your heart." Doug shivered hard and looked at me warily, obviously remembering the jam bread incident the other day.
"Look, what you're talking about is just a small favor, a small favor, how about borrowing your inventory and helping me put something away. My house is full of my inventory. "I hooked Doug's shoulder, and I looked like we were two brothers.
"Hey!" Unexpectedly, when I said this, Doug and Gev looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
"Wu, it's not that I don't want to help you, but we can't let it go here."
Gefu said with a bitter face, listening to his explanation, I knew that it was before leaving. Aunt Sari almost made a big move, not to mention quilts, clothes, etc., and even those kitchen utensils and furniture were brought or thrown into the storage box. If it weren't for the inconvenience, it is estimated that she would even have the heart to take the whole family away, and there is no shortage of money for changing jobs, but these things have been with Aunt Lisa for more than ten years, and she can't bear any of them, and Lal is guilty, so naturally she can't say anything, so the inventory of the three of them is stuffed like this.
"Woman!" The three brothers sighed in unison.
When the sun goes down overhead. The first post of the convoy arrived. It was a small village called Ezyes, and a team of seven people had lunch in the village. After a short rest, Varif was worthy of being a profiteer, and he didn't even save this little time, and when he came out, he and the villagers collected a lot of local products, and his face was happy.
More than ten miles east from the village of Azers, there is already a safe area, from here it is no longer a protected place, warning wooden signs are planted all over the ground nearby, if there are civilians who run out without their own strength, they will die in vain, don't think that someone will collect the body for you.
Seeing the warning sign, the barbarian brothers were happy, his father, he could finally loosen his muscles, but after walking for more than an hour, they were stunned that they didn't even see a single monster hair, and the two couldn't help but wonder, but I secretly laughed to myself on the side - is this master's net so easy to break through? Any ghost wolf can clean up the number of Sinking Demon Camps within a hundred before you arrive, if five of them are on the same page, even thousands of Sinking Demon Camps can be removed in an instant, Xiaoxue can kill enemies in a straight line including elites in an instant with a light column rage attack, and then an explosion, at least hundreds can be killed.
It wasn't until the sun was about to go down that the two stunned barbarians reacted, shouting that my ghost wolf was perverted, and was about to get out of the ghost wolf encirclement to practice, but they gave Ral a glare, and then they foolishly followed the team again. **
At night, the vast grassland reflects the boundless bright sea of stars, and they do not hesitate to scatter their silver brilliance all over the ground, so that the sky and the earth seem to ripple with a layer of silver waves.
Tight in the small jungle, Varif skillfully lit the bonfire, the night breeze of the prairie was a little cool, and the seven of them gathered tightly around the campfire, and little Sarah simply curled up in my arms, seeing that Lal shouted that the woman was not staying, but let Doug's big mouth sarcastically sneer, everyone's laughter echoed with the heat of the bonfire, Aunt Saree had completely adjusted, and at this time she was smiling and preparing dinner for us, and Varif took out a wine jug and added a glass to each of us: "Come on." This wine was bought by Lu Gaoin, and he could not drink it in the camp. ”
Hearing him say this, Ral and the barbarian brothers suddenly retracted their outstretched hands, and since the bread incident, they have almost heard the words "Lugoin's things" like snakes and scorpions, so the three of them "politely" pushed each other, and both wanted each other to "try the poison" first. I sighed, three poor babies, and poured the wine glass on the ground into my mouth. Well, it's a good wine, and I'll have to ask where Variif got it.
Look down. I saw a pair of shiny big eyes in my arms were staring at me tightly, looking very charming against the backdrop of the firelight, I smiled secretly, this cute little angel since the last time I drank it, it seems to be a little bit of a taste of the marrow, but the amount of alcohol is not good, as soon as I drink it, I pour.
I handed her the empty glass in front of her face and signaled that I had finished it. Unexpectedly, the little angel stretched out his pink little tongue, clicked a few times on the inner wall of the wine glass, and then curled back contentedly, his face turned red, and his slightly narrowed scarlet eyes began to ripple out a layer of mist of water, every movement was so cute, and every gesture was so sultry.
Seeing that I "tempted" little Sarah to drink, Aunt Sari glared at me fiercely, and then handed me a fragrant barbecue, while the three of them had already begun to fight over the glasses of wine. There is no such humility just now.
"Oh, it's convenient to have a druid, everyone can get a good night's sleep." Mrs. Varif next to him glanced at the lazy crow who was still patrolling the air, squinted lazily and sighed, I don't know if it was an illusion, those plain eyes flashed a trace of sharpness in the light of the fire.
"Varref, where are we now?" I asked.
"Eh, young people nowadays, they're just anxious." Variv shook his head. He took out a roll of animal skins from his bosom and spread it out in front of me.
"Where we are now, probably here." He pointed to the red dot less than a centimeter away and said, Khan. If that red dot couldn't be Camp Rogge.
"From Camp Rogge to the Misty Forest, it will take about half a month." His finger pointed to the red dot and kept moving eastward, until it was green: "This section of the grassland is easier to walk, as long as you don't encounter a large sunken demon camp, but starting from the misty forest, everyone will wake up to the twelve points of spirit, although there are no monsters there, but there are more powerful demonic beasts living there." Not a last resort. Don't take the initiative to provoke them, and all elders should shrink your ghost wolf circle. So as not to alarm too many Warcraft. ”
I nodded cautiously, "So, how long will it take to cross the Misty Forest?" ”
"This can be said, if you want to avoid those demonic beasts along the way, you can pass through it in a month at the earliest, and if you are unlucky, it may take two or three months."
Ral, on the other side, also came up, looked at the crude map, and carefully remembered everything that Variif had said.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day the sun had just climbed the mountain, and the convoy went out again.
The Blood Wasteland east of Rog, which is where we are now, has never been to it in the previous experience, whether it is me or Ral, and the adventure is generally experienced in the direction of the cold plains of the West, so this is still an unknown virgin land for us, but fortunately, there are no strange monsters because of this, they are all Sinking Demons that can be seen in the Blood Wasteland, Sinking Demon Wizards, rotting corpses, and crusty rats, these little things, not to mention me, even Lahr They can easily pinch to death, So there was no danger along the way, and in the back, Doug and Geff ran out to hunt for a while, and Lal didn't say anything, let alone find a few elite monsters for these two old men, and made a small profit.
The trip was unexpected, if there was any obstacle, that is, a few days ago, I encountered a camp of thousands of sunken demons, considering the safety of Sarah and Aunt Lisa, I still gave up the tempting idea of killing them on their backs, and the convoy went around far away, and it was only a few miles more.
On the twelfth day after leaving Rog, a long, boundless green border appeared in our line of sight, and Varif was overjoyed, and sighed that he had broken the previous speed of the journey, and according to the current pace, it was estimated that we would be at the edge of the Misty Forest tomorrow evening.
In the afternoon of the next day, there were already many streams and rivers on the road ahead, and the strange trees began to flourish, and Varif walked through it with ease, and could no longer move in a straight line as before, and then in the evening, Varif, who had always held his composure, also sighed, and looked up at the sky, the bright sea of stars was no longer there, but was replaced by dark clouds. "This weather, it's going to be troublesome, God forbid, I hope it doesn't rain." Reaching out to catch the oncoming cold wind, Variif said helplessly.
"It's a lot harder to walk in the rain, and you have to be careful of the swamps, but that's not the main thing, in a place like the forest, when it rains, it means that the beasts are more active......," Varif explained, and the fear was immediately transmitted to our faces.
"Why don't we wait until the rain stops before we leave." Worried about his wife and daughter, Lal Jian said.
"No, the climate of the forest is difficult to say, this rain can fall, it may only fall for a while, it may only fall for a while, it may also rain for a few months, and the situation after the heavy rain is not necessarily very safe, it is better to take advantage of the fact that it is not raining a little more, or pray that it does not rain." Varif shook his head and vetoed Lal's proposal.
"Don't worry, I'm more afraid of death than you, and I'm not completely sure how to dare to take risks, it's just a little troublesome." Varif patted Lal on the shoulder and comforted him, which made his face a little better, but the heavy shackles were still not stripped from everyone.
This time it's really a heavy responsibility, I patted Xiaoxue's head, turned around and got into the tent with a sigh, no matter what happens, I will never let anyone have an accident, even if it is to pay for my own life.
