Ji Ran and the others set off again, and it was a full departure.

Oh well, one less Ryan. But Ryan was a supernumerary in the first place...... It doesn't matter if it's less.

Speaking of which, what kind of progress has Ryan made in the past two or three years? That guy was an interesting guy, but they couldn't find the necromancer's colony, and they couldn't notify Ryan.

Therefore, everyone only talked about it for a few words and put the matter aside.

This time the road was peaceful, and the group didn't hunt the monster to collect materials or anything like before, they were in a hurry. With the large pile of supplies provided by the elves, the group did not need to stay at all except for the night's rest.

The materials that everyone carried this time were quite a lot, because they had several space props.

Erin has a space ring there, and Lydia has a space pocket. And in the past two years, Ji Ran and Alice have also collected a lot of materials. Coupled with the materials that appeared with the contribution of the elf clan, Ji Ran refined two magic weapons with spatial attributes.

These two magic weapons don't look unusual, just a gourd and a bottle. Of course, this is not the magic weapon of the purple gold gourd...... After all, the magic weapon that could trap Sun Dasheng was too powerful, and it was the gourd that grew from the first gourd vine that grew at the beginning of heaven and earth......

However, the space of these two magic weapons was surprisingly large, much larger than the ring in Irene's hand. The materials carried inside are enough for a group of people to survive for a year and a half without any supplies.

If it weren't for the lack of materials, Ji Ran really wanted everyone to have a space equipment. It's just that materials with spatial attributes are really not so easy to find, so Les and the others can only make do with magic bags first...... Of course. It's also the superlative.

The elves gathered the strength of the whole clan to gather the materials. It's no surprise that there are several top-of-the-line magic pockets inside.

On the way. Ji Ran also took out all his skills and made all kinds of foods that could improve his attributes every day. This time, Ji Ran didn't spare any hands, and brought out all his cooking skills, and the materials used were all of the top, and the help he provided to everyone was also great.

Everyone's attributes have been greatly improved, and the strength of everyone has been improved in various aspects. Although there were no big battles along the way, everyone could feel it. His strength is increasing at a rate that he couldn't think of before.

By the time everyone crossed those towering snow-capped mountains, no one's strength was below the Silver Peak.

Although there is still only one Rice in the real gold rank, this is enough to make other adventure teams and even mercenary groups smack...... A golden-level leader, a group of teammates close to the gold-level, what is this concept?

Even if it's two or three golden tiers, they're afraid they dare to fight, right? Even if it's a golden mid-level, I'm afraid they won't be afraid!

What's more, there is also a monster among them that although the level is silver level, the strength has surpassed that of the gold level. And Erin's identity as the inheritor of the sacred tree. also makes her strength similar to the golden rank...... If she really played it all, the ordinary golden rank didn't dare to guarantee that she would survive in front of her.

The scariest thing is. In the face of Erin, you don't even have much chance of escaping...... Those elusive arrows can completely cross the great distance and deal a fatal blow to you!

Of course, in reality, not many people know the strength of these people. Outwardly, they are just a bunch of ordinary adventurers...... Although no one's strength exceeds the silver level, this kind of adventurous team is not too rare.

A low-level team of adventurers, maybe a silver high-level is enough to be called a master. But the high-level adventurer team, the silver high-level can only be called not weak.

A group of people like Ji Ran who are brushing up on the silver middle level is just a team of adventurers with a little strength...... Outwardly.

Out of habit, Ji Ran still refined the ability to hide his strength on the cloak.

Along the way, they all bypassed those powerful demonic beasts, and they didn't encounter any adventurers...... After all, they are walking in places that are rarely visited.

The demonic beasts on those snowy mountains are indeed powerful, and they also have a lot of various resources, but the environment is too harsh. Even if an adventurous team came here to pan for gold, it was only for a short time. Over those snowy mountains? Ordinary people who don't have a problem with their brains don't do this.

It's okay to go to the western highlands, but there are plenty of other roads. Many of the roads simply don't have that many difficulties, and even if you cross those snowy mountains, there is no additional benefit, so why bother?

But what they are asking for is concealment. It's easy to get into the Western Highlands from other roads, but it's easy to spot by anyone who cares. When the time comes to enter the territory of the orcs, what will happen is really hard to say.

There are also many adventurers who enter the orc territory to go on adventures, but these are all things that only those who have courage can do. Because those orcs are sometimes unreasonable.

They are rude, stupid, and have low IQs...... But in fact, these are nothing, as long as they can communicate, even if they are intelligent races, they can always communicate. But the orcs still uphold the law of beasts, and they have no concept of guilt at all about robbery and murder.

If you don't have enough strength, then entering the territory of the orcs is likely to fall into a situation of being besieged...... When those orcs see a lot of good stuff on you, their first thought is to grab it.

If an adventurer wants to venture into the Western Plateau, he must definitely have enough strength and not be coveted by those orcs...... If the orcs think you're strong enough, they won't dare to attack at will.

This is the reason why the orcs, an intelligent race, are disgusted by the entire continent. Unless you subdue them, you don't want to feel safe in front of them.

Of course, not all orcs are like that, and there will always be some wise men. And even these wise men are just better at judging the situation. They found that they could not defeat the human beings and plunder the wealth of the human beings below the plateau, so they opened some trade routes. Trade with humans with the specialties of the orcs. Even so. A caravan trading with orcs. It is also necessary to equip strong enough bodyguards...... Because no one knows if they will kill everyone in the caravan in the next moment and loot the goods they have brought.

To put it simply, the civilization of the orcs is simply in the stage of primitive society. What they want is more to grab by the weapons in their hands, rather than by means of trading.

There may be good individuals among the orcs, but their kindness can hardly last long...... Orcs who are too kind often become hunting targets for other orcs.

Maybe after an unknown number of years of development, the civilization level of orcs can be on the same level as other intelligent races. But that time is definitely not now.

In this case, Ji Ran and the others crossed the snow-capped mountains and came to the top of the Western Plateau.

The altitude of the Western Highlands is quite high, so much so that when standing on it, there is a feeling of being closer to the sky. The sky seemed to be transparent, blue like a giant sapphire...... This kind of scene is also difficult to see in other places.

Because the altitude is too high, the air pressure here will inevitably be lower. If you are an ordinary person here, you will soon have symptoms such as respiratory discomfort. In Ji Ran's original world. It's called altitude sickness -- but in this world, people who dare to come to the western plateau. will not be bothered by this disease.

The physique of a professional is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

The western plateau isn't quite flat, but there are far fewer woods than other places. In such a harsh environment, it is difficult for even plants to survive.

Of course, there is always a wide variety of special flora and fauna on the plateau, and they are often quite fierce...... The harsher the conditions, the more powerful the demonic beasts produced...... This is already a consensus in this world.

After all, if you want to obtain all kinds of survival resources under harsh conditions, you can't be fierce enough...... Their biggest opponents are not the harsh environment, but their kind on the side.

Ji Ran had a map in his hand, marking the location of the relatively large orc tribe on the plateau. Of course, maps are relatively vague, and people in this world do not yet have the conditions to depict accurate maps. When the people reached the plateau, they were not close to the tribes.

Therefore, everyone can only slowly grope in that direction.

Camping in the highlands can be painful. Let's not talk about the cold or anything, everyone's physique is good, plus there are tents. The biggest problem is that the water can't be boiled!

Oh, it's not that it can't be boiled, it's that the temperature of the boiling water is not enough. Ji Ran naturally understood the reason, but an experienced adventurer like Les only knew that the water temperature was not enough, but he didn't know why.

"There is a way around it...... For example, use this. Then, Ji Ran took out a pressure cooker...... That's right, it's a pressure cooker!

In fact, this is a rather rudimentary pressure cooker, just an inferior magic weapon refined by Ji Ran by refining tools. It works by sealing the pot to increase the air pressure in the pot, which in turn increases the temperature.

It's not that precise, but it's enough for cooking or something.

"The Western Plateau is really desolate......" After dinner, everyone gathered around the bonfire, looking at the starry sky that was far clearer and brighter than other places, and some people couldn't help but sigh.

"What do you think? Otherwise, why do those orcs always want to go down the plateau and seize the territory of humans? It's not because the conditions are so harsh. But we can't help it, we can't let humans suffer to fulfill those orcs...... After all, those orcs have too low IQs, and it would be a disaster for them to come to the human world. ”

Baker listened to Ben's exclamation and pursed his lips.

Orcs may be pitied by some, but many more, don't care about that. A group of guys who only know how to kill and rob, you put them into the human world because of sympathy, that is irresponsible to human beings!

"Of course I don't think so, I just think these orcs are real and tough. Able to survive in this environment, and grow stronger and stronger...... It would be nice if they had a little more sanity. Ben lay on the ground with his hands behind his head.

"Maybe it will be like that in the future, but at least not now. And those orcs are now controlled by those True God Order, and even if they want to sympathize, they can't sympathize with them. Let's just hope they don't sink too deep...... Otherwise, the other intelligent races would not let them go. ”

Les hugged the broadsword, looked into the distance, and sighed.

"Rest well, we have to go tomorrow." (To be continued......)
