Chapter 307: The Outer Reaches of the Mountain Range

Near the Kara Mountains, there are almost no roads. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The reason why I say "almost" is because there are still some traces of walking in the mountain from here, which can be used as a simple indicator to guide people to find the crowded places in the mountains.
Neil was just a passerby to the Kara Mountains, he couldn't recognize the way to go deep into the mountains and find the treasure from the bottom of the mountain, only the way they had fled by feeling after going deep into the mountains, or finding the marks they had left behind that year, it sounded like a needle in a haystack, but Neil was confident.
He said that by walking along the route he had fled, he would be able to recall his original trajectory and go further against the current to retrieve the treasure.
It's the instinct of the orcs.
The Kara Mountains are many times larger than the Arashi Mountains that Lin Ke once visited, the mountains are taller and more dangerous, the plant density is greater, and the species of flora and fauna are more abundant.
Obviously, the first heavy snow of the year has been ushered in here, and although the snow has melted a little in many places due to successive sunny days, it is not much easier to make the way through the mountains.
The snow scene is beautiful and the air is fresh, but the group walking in the mountains is not relaxed.
Because as they went deeper, they had already encountered two attacks by Warcraft, although the low level of Warcraft could not pose a threat to them, and even from a long distance Payne had been able to give an early warning, but everyone's hearts still began to tense.
Because in addition to Warcraft, they also have to guard against more formidable enemies.
The path becomes difficult, so the members of the Starfire Mercenary Group and the low-level professionals of the Great Power Realm, including Neil, become pioneers, and they need to clear obstacles along the way to ensure the team's progress.
Nicole is not involved because she will only "set fire".
"At the current pace, it is too difficult to pass through the Kara Mountains," Lin Ke frowned and looked at the people in front of the team, "The mountain road is already difficult to walk, and we have to be on guard against possible demonic beasts and enemies at any time, I'm afraid our team will collapse before we reach our destination." ”
This is a situation he had never thought of beforehand.
"It's just that the outer stages are going to be tougher, and as far as I know, deep into the Cara Mountains there are some artificially carved paths that are still difficult to follow, but they don't affect the itinerary in that way," Payne explains.
"I see," Lin Ke said secretly, with this green barrier, isn't the Kara Mountains really a paradise, a good place to escape from the world?
"Huh?" Payne suddenly snorted lightly, subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the direction, and Lin Ke was surrounded by everyone and noticed his abnormal movement for the first time.
"What's wrong, is there an enemy?" asked Lin Ke urgently.
Payne shook his head slowly, "It shouldn't be the enemy, but the gatekeeper on the outskirts of the Kara Mountains, who is dealing with the path we have carved out, using a strange plant seed that grows rapidly, and the entrance to the path that we carved out before has been sealed. ”
Lin Ke was shocked, "Could it be a conspiracy against us, cutting off the way to retreat first and then looking for an opportunity to attack?"
"Probably not, these jungles on the periphery are the best barriers, and those who hide in the mountains are naturally reluctant to keep the path that the future people have carved out, which will add a lot of risks to them, so this kind of gatekeeper is an essential role, I have heard of such a group of people existing on the outskirts of the Kara Mountains before, of course, they are not only guarding the door, if they encounter some convenient characters, they will also not hesitate to accept them," Payne laughed.
"It's hard for them in such a cold weather," Lin Ke said coldly, "It's better to be careful, no amount of precautions in this kind of place can be wrong." ”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The group walked quietly, but they did not go beyond the outer reaches of the Kara Mountains for a whole morning, let alone find the road that the legend had artificially carved out of the mountains.
The professionals in the jungle worked together, and soon a clearing was cleared as a temporary resting place, and everyone could finally catch their breath.
Lin Ke did not let his guard down, and after sending Neil and Ralph, the leader of the second team of Wind Shadow, to be reconnaissance and vigilance, he gathered all the professionals above the Great Power Realm together for a small meeting.
"Is the gatekeeper still following us?" said Linko, who asked Payne first, without any more politeness.
Payne tilted his head and said, "I'm gone." ”
Lin Ke nodded, "Indeed, if they are just to 'guard the gate', then it is enough to seal the entrance to the road we have opened, with the jungle of the Kara Mountains, I am afraid that this road will no longer be found as soon as the spring arrives next year, so in your estimation, how long will it take to walk before it is possible to encounter the roads inside those mountains?"
"Well, we've advanced about five kilometers after entering the mountain, which is not a bad speed, but according to my previous understanding, we are still on the periphery of the Kara Mountains," Payne frowned, "At this speed, we will probably have to advance in the mountains for four or five days before we may encounter those internal roads, and this is still if everything goes well." ”
Lin Ke's face was serious, although he thought that after entering the mountain, he was afraid that things would not go as smoothly as he imagined, but the speed of travel alone made him a little unhappy, "I didn't buy the internal map of the Kara Mountains on the black market before, and now it is not possible to move forward with a black eye, I am thinking, since the gatekeepers can come and go freely in the jungle, either they have the map, or they already know the terrain by heart, and they can make up their minds about them." ”
Everyone was shocked.
"Is there only one gatekeeper in Lord Payne's perception?" Randolph asked Payne.
Payne nodded, "There is only one behind us, but the outskirts of the mountain range are so big that it is impossible for a single gatekeeper to solve all the problems, there should be such a character every other distance, but I don't know which side they belong to." ”
"We don't know anything about the forces and situations in the Kara Mountains, so it's likely that we're going to get into trouble with a very troublesome existence or organization," Randolph said.
"What is the goalkeeper?" asked Payne.
"At most, the Giant Power Realm is low-level, and it may only be the Bear Power Realm," Payne said in a calm voice.
Randolph and Eller looked at each other, looking at Linko with some concern in their eyes.
It's not the concern about the goalkeeper, it's Linko's attitude towards Payne.
"We have so many masters, will capturing at most a low-level gatekeeper of the Great Power Realm alive leave clues?" Lin Ke smiled and said, "Fourth Grandpa, I don't think anyone is better at this kind of thing than you, right?"
Lan Daofu frowned slightly, "Since this group of gatekeepers dares to act alone and in the jungle, they naturally have their dependence, we don't know anything about them, who knows if these people have some special means in the jungle, Cohen, have you ever thought about what the situation will be faced in the event of failure?"
