Chapter 50: The First Arrival

"Among the monsters that have recently attacked the camp, a small number of poisonous spiders and forest snowmen have appeared. In addition to this, the pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info is mainly led by the orcs who roam in the Beechcraft Forest. The number ranges from three or five to more than a dozen. It is said that on the night of the attack on the Xujiadian caravan, the total number of demonic beasts and half-orcs that appeared was the largest, there were twenty or thirty of them! ”

Asked by Shen Xia about the strength of the monster, the steward of the Mu family's shop recalled it slightly. As if remembering something bad, his face turned slightly pale, but he still gave a general description of the monsters that attacked the camp in the Beach Forest.

Perhaps worried that Shen Xia and Fang Jin would be frightened away because of this, he paused and said, "Although those barbaric orcs are rampant, the strength of our Ginkgo Village is not bad. The Xu family, the Gao family, and our Mu family joined forces to gather at least a dozen professionals and bow guards. Beechcraft King's side will also be sent to help soon. As for you outsiders, several passed before the commission for the Essence of Plants and Trees was issued. ”

Already a traverser went first?

Hearing what the manager of the Mu family shop said, the hesitation in Shen Xia's heart disappeared a lot. Perhaps, the few traverser masters who passed first were also similar to themselves, who first accepted the commission and completed it brilliantly, and only after being recognized by the aboriginal forces did they trigger the follow-up mission of stationing in the Beechcraft Forest camp.

Thinking like this, Shen Xia was actually a little moved, but he didn't immediately agree.

Instead, he excused himself because his injuries were not yet healed, and he needed to recuperate for a day or two, and by the way, he carefully considered whether to accept it.

"It's okay, the predicament at Camp Beach Forest has been going on for a while, and there's no rush for this day or two. You two can think about it slowly, and we look forward to your decision. In addition, there are no strict restrictions on this commission. If you feel dangerous after you get there, as long as you say hello in advance, you can withdraw at any time, our Mujiadian and Ginkgo Village are not reluctant. ”

………

On the third day after visiting Mujiadian.

In just two or three days, there were dozens of new traversers who had just changed jobs in Ginkgo Village. The arrival of the newcomers, coupled with the discovery of an elite monster similar to Scrooge Nine Lives near Ginkgo Village, immediately diverted the attention of the traverser group.

Although there are still many people discussing the essence of plants and trees and storage packages, the heat has decreased a lot compared to before.

However, when he occasionally went out to buy things, Shen Xia could still feel that someone would occasionally target him.

This made him determined to accept the follow-up mission of Mujiadian and go to the Beach Forest camp. While keeping a low profile to avoid the limelight, it is also as the Mu family store steward said, you can level up and improve your strength by the way!

After the injuries on their bodies healed and the storage package also brought food, water, homemade ordinary herbs, torches and other items, the two arrived at the foothold of the brotherhood first, told Zhang Qi about the movements of the next period of time, and then found the Mu family shop again.

Seeing the two returning, the steward of Mujiadian knew that most of the two had agreed, and his face couldn't help but feel a little more happy.

Compared with the locals in the ginkgo village, these outsiders can be bought with some small profits, and their strength improves quickly. Being able to hire them to work for their own families can not only reduce the casualties of their own families, but also have an incredibly high cost-effectiveness ratio. Even if there is an accident and a large number of casualties, it will not affect the foundation of the village.

If you say another sentence of heart-wrenching, this can also weaken these outsiders with mysterious origins...... The chaos in the ginkgo village these days, all the aboriginal forces are in the eyes.

It is impossible to say that there is no discontent in their hearts.

Of course, there are some things that can only be done and not said. The manager of the Mu family store would not tell his heart and thoughts, but just welcomed the two of them in with a smile and asked them to calm down. Just a quarter of an hour later, Mu Yun, who had seen him last time, was dressed in blue and white light armor, and strode in through the back door with heroic strides.

The two of them will follow him and several members of the Mu family to the Beechcraft Forest camp.

Before that, though, the two of them first have to learn to ride horses!

If you are an ordinary person with no foundation, it is naturally not easy to learn to ride a horse. But Shen Xia and Fang Jin are both professionals, and their physical coordination ability and learning ability far exceed ordinary people. In addition, the horse provided by Mujiadian is docile and easy to control, so after just half a day, the two of them obtained the ability of [Elementary Riding Technique] in the prompt of the system and became a so-so qualified rider.

As long as you don't run too fast, or the road conditions are too bad, there should be no problem.

Sure that the two of them would not lag behind in their equestrian skills, Mu Yun took them on a relatively long journey.

It took them two days just to set off from Ginkgo Village and rush all the way to near the entrance of Ginkgo Valley, and it was the Mu family who provided the horses. If you rely on walking, I'm afraid the speed will be slower. Next, after rushing out of the Ginkgo Valley, it took the group more than a day to follow the trade route deep into the leafy Beechcraft Forest, and arrived at the first of the four camps and the closest camp to the Ginkgo Village.

The camp is not big.

From a distance, it can accommodate two or three hundred people.

If the convoy takes up more space, I am afraid that the number of people that can be accommodated will be even less.

The carefully selected terrain makes the camp condescending and difficult to defend. There is also a 20-metre-deep well inside the camp, which is sufficient to provide a separate source of water for the camp. Coupled with the fact that the outer perimeter is composed of horses, trenches, earthen walls, and arrow towers, the camp has remained in the hands of the humans of Ginkgo Village to this day, even if it has been repeatedly attacked.

It's just that, compared to the calm of a few months ago, the current Camp No. 1 in Beach Forest is undoubtedly much more dilapidated. Not only are there traces of brute force destruction in many places of the horse rejection and earthen walls, but there are also dark red blood clots that have not had time to be cleaned up everywhere on the ground outside the camp, and you can vaguely imagine the fierceness of the battle.

"Welcome to Camp One!"

Seeing a small team of horses coming from the direction of Ginkgo Village from a distance, the bow and arrow guards on the arrow tower naturally raised their vigilance early. After confirming that they were safe, they whistled and waved to Shen Xia, Mu Yun and their party, and signaled the opening of the door to the aboriginal warriors guarding the camp gate below.

With a creaking sound, the bulky camp gate was slowly opened.

Due to the recent frequent attacks, this trade route to Beechcraft King City has been rarely visited since the accident of the people in Xujiadian. At this stage, there are almost no caravans and ordinary people traveling together in the camp, only the aborigines sent by the Ginkgo Village and a few master traversers.

At a glance, the small camp came into view, allowing Shen Xia to quickly grasp the situation here.

However, there seems to be something wrong with the number of people......

He remembered that the steward of Mujiadian had said that there were at least a dozen aboriginal guards, and counting the subordinates in the camp and the traversers who arrived before him, the total number of people must be at least twenty or thirty. But what Shen Xia saw at the moment was more than ten of them!

Where did the others go? Aren't they all dead?

If this is the case, Shen Xia has to think about it, and even give up the task immediately and turn around and run.

Fortunately, just when he was in doubt, a middle-aged man who came out of the tent solved his confusion.
