Heading south from the Burning Plains is the Red Ridge Mountains, which surround the lake. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The land of the Burning Plains is black, while the Red Ridge Mountains, as the name suggests, have a dull brownish-red soil.
As a result, at the junction of these two regions, the soil gradually changes from black to light until it turns dark red, which is also a spectacular sight.
A slightly slender figure walked the junction, holding a two-handed sword in his left hand and his right hand with his back behind him, as if holding something.
This is a strong man, and the reason why his back is rickety is because he is carrying a woman on his back.
Or rather, a girl.
Long blonde hair cascaded down the man's shoulders, occasionally scratching his neck and chest, causing a small patch of goosebumps to seep into his skin.
The girl's face was buried deep behind the man's shoulders, and her hands were wrapped around the man's chest, as if she was asleep.
The morning sun shone on a couple of men and women, dragging a long shadow behind them.
Malone looked back and saw that his shadow was still on the dark gray earth, but under his feet, it was already red soil.
The scenery brightened up at this moment, and a long narrow path stretched out into the distance in front of Ma Long, with tall mountains standing on either side of the path.
The crimson mountains were covered with dense jungles, and Malone could only recognize some pine trees, while another tree with a dark gray trunk and pale yellow leaves flourished densely on the branches, and Malone could not name it.
However, this did not affect the excitement in his heart at the moment, after all, after seeing the desolate burning plains for a whole weekend, Marlon finally saw the green that could be described as a gift from nature.
Excitement is building up in Marlon's heart, and he plans to wake up Tiffany behind him so that she can be happy too.
But it seemed that Malone didn't need to lift it many times, the girl's body twitched slightly, and then slowly opened her eyes and propped up her body from Marlon's back.
"Mr. Malone...... Good morning! ”
Tiffany gently held Marlon's shoulder, blinked her eyes to sober herself up a little, and then politely greeted Marlon.
"Well, early. Got enough sleep? ”
Marlon didn't look back, but asked with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Hmmm......"
Tiffany's face flushed, and she had been sleeping on Marlon's back all these days.
Tiffany's stamina was still a little poor, and she couldn't handle the long journey.
If they had stopped and went, Malone and Tiffany would not have been able to complete the trail that the horse team would have taken three or four days to complete in a week.
Fortunately, Malone has almost unlimited energy, and when Tiffany felt tired, Malone picked her up and continued to walk forward, and Tiffany fell asleep on Marlone's back.
During this whole week, Malone would only rest for a short period of two or three hours every day, and the rest of the time, either walking with Tiffany or walking alone with Tiffany on his back.
However, Tiffany is not exactly a burden, and when Malone is resting, Tiffany will recuperate and stand guard.
Of course, this sentry is a little too weak, and if something happens, she must wake up her sentinel's target in order to respond.
Luckily, Malone's rest was not disturbed, which had a lot to do with the fact that he mostly chose to rest in the shadows of the Black Rock Mountains.
During this entire week, Marlon and Tiffany only encountered orcs once.
It was a convoy of orcs.
Marlon, who had noticed the dust ahead of him, hid behind the mountains with Tiffany, and then saw dozens of orcs pulling the same number of carts and hurrying north.
Perhaps because they didn't think they had enemies in the southern part of the continent, the orc convoy was slack, otherwise, they would have only needed to poke a little further ahead, and it would have been easy to spot Marlon and Tiffany.
"Mr. Malone...... It's ......"
Awakening from her sleep, Tiffany leaned on Marlon's back and asked in surprise.
"That's right, Tiffany, this should be Red Ridge Mountain, we've left that desolate place, here we should be able to replenish some food and water before deciding where we're going."
Malone said happily.
"No, Mr. Malone, I mean...... Your hands ......"
Tiffany didn't seem to take Mallon's words too seriously, because she only felt extremely shy now.
"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... I'll let you down......"
Malone was stunned for a moment, then blushed and half-squatted down, letting go of the hand he was holding Tiffany.
"Well, thank you, Mr. Malone......"
Tiffany blushed and climbed off Marlon's body, stood on the ground, lowered her head, and whispered.
"Ahem......"
Malone coughed twice in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.
It's been almost routine for the past week, since the first time Tiffany fell asleep on Malone.
Whenever Tiffany woke up, she would always be ashamed to find that Mr. Malone's hand was always just right on her ass/thigh.
Of course, Malone didn't mean it, at first, he always held Tiffany's waist, but then, gradually, gradually, gradually, his hands would involuntarily slide down, slide down......
It's definitely because of the clothes, the fabric used for the workmanship of Tiffany's pink dress is too slippery.
- Malone said to himself.
"You're right, this is Red Ridge Mountain, Mr. Malone. This trail, we passed by here when we came. ”
Tiffany was also a little used to this kind of thing, and she quickly stepped out of that little shyness and then responded to Malone's words.
"Really? That's great, we've run out of food and water, and I don't really know what to do if we haven't gotten out of that burning plain. ”
Malone scratched his head and replied.
It wasn't until two days after leaving the orc camp that Malone realized what Caldara had said he was going to die in the wild.
The environment of the Burning Plains has been almost completely destroyed by magma and volcanoes, and life has not had time to adapt to the harsh climate here, and Malone and Tiffany are no exception.
Not to mention the slight pungent smell of the air, and more importantly, there is no way to get food and water here.
The most important thing is the water, Ma Long has not found water here, but those small puddles of steaming, Ma Long can smell the pungent smell just a little closer.
Ma Long, who came from Earth, knew that the water near the active volcano dissolved a large amount of toxic sulfur and fluorine, and drinking this water would only accelerate the process of death. (To be continued.) )
