Chapter 17: To Mist Town (3)
After nearly five hours of trekking, near noon, a town finally appeared in the midst of everyone's business. Perhaps because www.biquge.info of the noon, the sun is directly shining, and the so-called fog town is not shrouded in fog.
Mist Town, a town at the edge of the forest, shares the same name as Mist Forest, indicating that the two are very closely related. Mist Town is an important place for the production and trading of beast furs, monster crystal nuclei, and herbs in the Haiyan region. This is a transit point for many adventurers and experienced people to enter the Mist Forest, and a lot of the valuable things they get are sold directly here. Therefore, Fog Town can be said to be a relatively important settlement in this area.
"Come, this abominable sun, everyone!"
"Tired?" Wang Peng said to Yan Xi with concern.
"It's okay." Yan Xi gasped and wiped the sweat from his face, brushing the hair on his face in place.
A full five-hour trek, which is naturally not a problem for people like those who are more than 10 levels and already have some cultivation, but at this moment, these two hundred people are all apprentices of level 1 or 2! To put it mildly, if you have been cultivating normally since childhood, at the age of 10, you are almost level 3 or 4, and these paths are nothing at all.
Wang Peng looked at the towns looming in the distance, and finally felt hopeful. The clothes on Wang Peng's body were completely soaked, and he looked at Yan Xi from time to time, only to feel that even if a girl was also soaked with clothes all over her body, she was in a better state than herself, Wang Peng felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but it was easy to understand, after all, Yan Xi was already level 2.
"You're soaked." Wang Peng quipped a little lightly.
"You! Don't look at it! ”
Yan Xi glanced at Wang Peng angrily, and then felt his hands covering his chest. Yan Xi was wearing a white and somewhat thin shirt, and the underwear he was wearing inside was revealed after being soaked with sweat. To say that there is no second glance is certainly not true.
"Go, go ahead of me. Hum. Yan Xi was ashamed and annoyed, this guy is really not a good thing!
The 200 people are all carrying their steps, but fortunately, because there is a system backpack, there is no need to worry about whether the water they carry is sufficient.
"Cheer up, this is also a kind of cultivation, exercise your physical fitness and perseverance, just this short 20 kilometers of road, what the hell has become something, say you! It's understandable that other mages and priests can't stand it, you, a warrior, how can you do this, come! Give me a head up! A dark-skinned, muscular man with a fleshy face in front of him yelled at the group of people who followed him.
"That's Edgar, a warrior trainer, a well-known temper, 39 years old, a level 49 berserker, his talent is not bad, but he has a temper so bad that he is ostracized by others." The old knight of Wilton said, and continued to walk forward, not breathing at all, and sure enough, it was good to cultivate high.
After a while, the group entered Mist Town, and the mayor and the garrison officer personally greeted them at the door.
"Well, if you want to find your lost relatives and friends, you can go to the registration office in the town hall to find the list of the nearest refugees." The mayor of Mist said. Wang Peng looked over, level 67, his sideburns were slightly white, and he was about 60 years old, seeing that he was dressed in arranged clothes, it was difficult to judge whether he was a mage or a priest for the time being.
"Let's go." Yan Xi said, a little impatient but a little timid in his heart. If there are no names of their parents here, then they are really dead, and this is the last hope.
Once you enter through the town gates, the architecture is similar to that of Woodaza Town, but the streets here are filled with more explorers, and strong men in armor and swords on their backs abound. Wang Peng walked by and saw a lot of stores, shops with names such as fur and pawn, but Wang Peng didn't have the heart to care about these at the moment, Yan Xi's parents were the right thing. After all, if, probably, it would be the father-in-law and mother-in-law!
The two of them entered the town hall and began to flip through it, over and over again, concentrating, neither of them spoke, just searching. However, unfortunately, after reading it several times, the names of Yan Xi's parents did not appear.
"It's impossible, it's impossible, I must have not turned it, maybe we lost our eyes when we were in Linzuo Town!" Yan Xi turned his head to Wang Peng and said, his eager eyes staring at Wang Peng's eyes, hoping to get a positive answer from Wang Peng.
"Ashi."
Wang Peng gently called Yan Xi's name, and Wang Peng knew that Ah Xi was deceiving himself and unwilling to accept the news that his parents had died like this. But he, he felt that if he told Ashi so bluntly, she would still be very uncomfortable.
"You answer! Isn't it, they're certainly not dead yet! ”
"Yes, Ashi."
"No, you lied to me!"
Yan Xi's huge eyes staring at Wang Peng finally couldn't help but leave tears, and his body slowly curled up and squatted down, holding his knees tightly with both hands, and crying loudly.
Wang Peng suddenly felt a little heartache, he didn't want to see Yan Xi like this. It's all my fault, if I hadn't started the formatting process, none of this would have happened. Wang Peng slowly squatted down, listening to Yan Xi's crying voice, Wang Peng suddenly felt that his heart had suffered a knife, Wang Peng had never experienced this feeling in the past, because he didn't care about anything at all in the past.
"Ashi."
Wang Peng didn't know what to say, so he could only put one hand on Ah Xi's shoulder to comfort her.
Time passed quickly, and after a short rest, after eating some dry food, we waited for the most violent sun at noon to pass, and then planned to go on the road again. The assessment team arrived at Misty Town before coming to Woodseat Town, and conducted an assessment here, and then the remaining personnel continued to Forestate Town, and after returning from Forestseat Town, they took the people they had previously selected in Fog Town and began to go to Searock City.
Wang Peng sat in the shade of the forest with Yan Xi for a noon, Yan Xi's eyes were swollen from crying, but there was no way, if he couldn't find it, he couldn't find it. Yan Xi also wanted to blame Wang Peng, why did he open the format key, but this was not the result that Wang Peng wanted. Wang Peng was silently by Yan Xi's side, without parents or other friends, Wang Peng was the closest person to Yan Xi at this moment.
"Let's go, it looks like we're about to go." Wang Peng heard the sound of a horn coming from the door.
"Yes." Yan Xi replied weakly.
Wang Peng helped Ah Xi, although he had been prepared, but he was still deeply hit. Sunlight pours down from the sky, shining through the leaves and spilling small round holes. Ashi thought that there was no choice in all of this, her parents were dead, but she still had to live. Although Ashi has been crying for so long, his heart has become stronger.
"Brother Peng! Ahi! Voices suddenly came from behind the two of them.
"Big tree!"
