Chapter 61: Halfway Through the Journey

Chapter 61 is more than halfway there

Time passed quickly, and under the prompting of Venn, the group of four cautiously walked all the way, and finally walked two-thirds of the way. Although Vane's tip is to take risks and be aware of the dangers around you, especially if you have experienced a gnoll tribe before. But in reality, it was Vane who was consciously stalling for time when he was basically sure that there was no danger, so that the people who came to investigate the disappearance of the nobles would not know exactly when the four of them had set out from Minahir Harbor.

Due to Vane's conscious delay, the four of them walked very slowly, even if the large caravan walked slowly, but in a month, they were able to leave the wetland area and enter the mountain tunnel. It has to be said that Venn's delay was very successful. He can only delay here in the wetlands, and once he enters the mountain tunnel, he will often encounter the dwarves who maintain the mountain tunnel. Then they will have to travel at a normal pace.

Vane wasn't worried that news would leak out from Minethil Harbor, and when they left Minethil Harbor with the caravan, it was a temporary decision, and the only one who knew about it was Aunt Sharna, who came to see off the four of them. The likelihood of a message leaking is very low.

When the four adventurous rookies made their way to the west, they were already ready to find a place to camp. The usual adventurers don't set up camp at this time. After all, it's not very late, and even if you need to hunt and so on, there's still plenty of time. But Vane and the four of them would immediately set up camp and be busy with all sorts of things.

The distance of walking in a day will not exceed 30 miles, and it is basically in the way of sightseeing. By the time they searched for a camping site, all four of them had spotted a large area of dry land on the side of the road not far ahead. This land is next to the mountain, and it is not the kind of trap land that is relatively empty, and it is common to find the kind of trap land in the swamp that looks very solid, but as soon as you step on it, you immediately fall into it. This is clearly not the case with the one in front of you.

After Vane saw this land, he immediately checked the situation about the wetland recorded in the task panel of the system, and it should be noted that the tasks and the like in the task panel were all recorded by Vane himself, similar to memos. The situation about the wetlands was recorded when he inquired about the wetlands in Minahir Harbour. It is impossible for such a large piece of land in front of us to go unrecorded. So Vane began to rummage through the records. It didn't take long for him to find out the specifics of this large area of land.

"We can't camp here, we have to step back and camp at that nice camping spot." Vane said immediately after looking at the situation on this land.

Barka was about to take off the things on his body, when he heard Vane's words, he was stunned, and then asked blankly, "Why?" It's a great place to look. ”

Not only Barka, but also Kalia looked at Vane unexplained, waiting for his answer. Only Walker looked at Vane and thought for a while, then suddenly jumped up and asked Vane, "I remember that there is a spider cave on this road that is on a piece of land, can't it be this land under our feet?" ”

"I think it's probable, because from what I've heard, there's a giant spider cave in a mountain of land two-thirds of the way down. We were almost two-thirds of the way through the road now, and then there was this piece of land in front of us, so ......" Vane didn't continue, he knew that Walker and Barka had already understood what he meant.

"Oh, damn it. I hate spiders. "After more than half a year, especially the twenty-odd days of adventure, Barka's way of speaking and acting has become more and more like the villagers in the Song of Drifting Zero. Although he was, and was born there, and grew up to the present, his mother was not an adventurer, but a normal High Elf of Quel'Thalas, who had come to settle in the village of Song of Drifting Zero because of his marriage to Balka's father, so some of Balka's previous behaviors were also influenced by his mother. Now, he has become like his father.

Ignoring Barka's words, Walker said to Vane, "We'd better go and scout to make sure, after all, we'll have a long way to go back." ”

"Okay, then I'll scout, you guys wait here for a while." Vane listened to Walker's words and nodded.

Only Vane can scout here. Barka and Kalia couldn't go, they didn't have much force to defend themselves. Although Walker is strong enough, his personality really makes Wayne a little helpless. If he encounters a spider, he will most likely want to try his strength.

Of course, if he just tried the strength of the spider, the problem was the dwarf's loud voice. Once in combat mode, they will shout loudly to increase their momentum, or more appropriately. Vane didn't know what was going on with the spiders in Azeroth, as it was clear from what he had heard that the spiders were swarm. So Wayne didn't know if Walker's shouting would attract more spiders. So, for now, it's up to him to scout, and it's better for Walker to stay and protect Barka and Kalia.

Vane didn't procrastinate, he put down the things he was carrying, then took off the shield from his back, and picked up the war hammer hanging from his waist and said to the other three: "Before I come back, you must pay attention to safety." Walker, Barka and Kalia are up to you. ”

"Don't worry, unless I'm dead, the two of them won't be harmed in any way." Walker immediately slapped his chest armor to assure him after being entrusted with the task, and then he patted Vane on the shoulder and said, "Kid Vane, you have to be careful, if there is danger, run back, I will help you kill those spiders chasing you." ”

"I know, that's why I want you to protect the two of them, after all, neither of them has the force to protect themselves." Vane nodded to show that he understood. After all, if it were only Wayne or Walker, they would only be able to deal with one gnoll, but if the two of them were together, they could easily take out at least four gnolls. Together, they are stronger. It's been so long, how could Vane not understand this.

"Vane be careful." Barka had the same worried expression on his face. This adventure made him feel that he was a little too useless. After all, the bow and arrow he is good at, because his own strength is too small, he can't pull a stronger bow, so he has no ability to attack. The technique of reconnaissance and stealth has never been practiced because I have always felt that sneaking is not fair enough. In terms of magic and arcane, due to age, only a few tricks can be used. It doesn't feel powerful at all.

Kalia didn't say anything, just prayed in her heart for Vane's safety.
