Chapter Seventy-Five: Ruins
On the fourth day of entering the Southwest Strip, they still found no trace of the flamingos here.
Only one last area remained unexplored, the easternmost part of the gently sloping strip, which was a low-lying area that resembled a small basin and their last hope.
If they still can't see the flamingos there, they have to turn back to the Warrior Guild, because the task that cannot be completed after the deadline is overdue, they must report to the Guild as soon as possible, otherwise there will be a lot of punishment, which will have a great impact on the reputation of the Warrior Guild in the future.
Along the way, Leo's bowery skills have improved a bit, and he can now rely on his longbow to shoot small animals such as rabbits and pheasants.
For the hobby of bows and arrows, Leo was originally just a helpless choice, because as a small nobleman, he really didn't want to take some weapons to fight with others, so he finally picked up the bow.
However, Leo's attainments in archery are actually very good, because in fact, Leo has only been using bows and arrows for less than a year, and there is no big problem in attacking stationary targets, the only thing he lacks is practical experience.
Of course, the three of them were not idle, for example, the three of them worked together to kill a wild boar......
"It's the last day, and if there aren't flamingos today, we'll have to go back too!" said Xiuin, putting away the camping tent and turning to the four who had already packed their bags.
"Actually, even if I don't go back, I don't care too much about the punishments in the Warrior Guild......" Hans knew that the four of them had a very good time these days, and even found the pleasure of their childhood that they had not seen for a long time.
Moreover, the important thing is that everyone's strength has also improved, and the combat power brought by the level 3 soul power that Hans has completely adapted to, as long as he holds a two-handed giant sword, only four swords, Hans can chop down a big tree that needs to be surrounded by two people.
And Leo and Hans also felt that they were very close to breaking through to level 3 of soul power, and what they lacked was an opportunity.
Xiuin clapped his hand on Hans's shoulder, and this was the time to say some words of encouragement, "What do you say! Hans this time is all because of my mistakes, so we can't make mistakes again and again, and after submitting a report of the failure of the mission, we can continue to venture elsewhere!"
"Hmm!"
Xiu Yin's words really worked, Hans even showed the posture of "you can say something if you have something", Xiu Yin was secretly happy in his heart, to say that the previous "Xiu Yin" dug a lot of holes for him, but only these three friends are really discerning!
In fact, when I first met these three friends, I knew that all three of them were in the category of "good people", what is a good person?
It is that they will never go to the trap to abduct and deceive the thief!
Think about it half a year ago, the four of them had almost no strengths, the only thing that was Hans's strength was excellent, but the four of them still got together without disliking each other.
Things gather by like, people are divided by groups, Xiu Yin has a considerable understanding of this truth, such as those around Galio, they are a group of arrogant people, but when I think of this, Xiu Yin thinks of Araki Zheng.
Because Araki Masa's black hair is typical of people from his own world, but as for why there are still red hair like himself or Araki Masa's black hair among most of the people with yellow hair, Xiu Yin feels the need to take some time to investigate, maybe he can find some clues or something......
"Oh my God, look what that is!" Huin pondered as he followed the group to the final point, when Hans was interrupted by a sudden surprise.
In front of Hans was a small basin-like area, and since the terrain would be lower from there, Hans's vision could now sweep across the entire small basin.
The three of them then stood on the edge of the place, looking in.
"This?!" all three of them looked surprised.
In front of them was a small basin in the shape of a ring, but in the basin, it was a ruin.
"What is this?" asked Charlotte, surprised.
Xiu Yin shook his head, "Looks like a town that has been abandoned for a long time......"
The four of them slid down the gentle slope with a sense of unease, and the closer they got closer, the more shocked the three became.
There are ruins and broken tiles everywhere, erosion everywhere has been weathered, and the walls of the buildings are already covered with moss and weeds, trying to cover the former glory of this place.
"What the hell is this place?" Hans felt the coldness of a short wall as he touched it, but there was no doubt that it was once a city of size.
Xiu Yin frowned, and suddenly had some bad premonitions in his heart, although there were many things he didn't want to think about carefully, but now, but these rubble, he seemed to feel that there was too much darkness buried under history.
There were no corpses on the ground, and there was almost no furniture or other furnishings in the building, just an empty shell town, and it could be seen that it should have actively chosen to abandon this place.
The four of them looked around as they walked to the east, the center of the town's ruins.
Although there are ruined houses everywhere, the main street of the town is still recognizable, with cracked bluestone underneath the weeds.
The whole main road was originally made of bluestone, which shows that the standard of living in the town at that time was very high, at least comparable to a few slightly more affluent towns north of the Heidel Plain.
Quack –
"Did you hear something in Xiuin!" Leo felt like he had heard something.
"Hmm!"
Xiu Yin moved his five fingers a few times, and their luck seemed to be good, "It's the call of the flamingo!"
"That's right!" Charlotte had seen his father give a flamingo to a nobleman, and he had heard the strange sound of the flamingo.
Without hinting at Xiuyin, Hans and the others immediately took out their weapons.
Flamingos, usually with a gentle temperament, but once they find that they are in danger of being attacked, they will immediately make a gesture of fighting back.
Walking past a ruined street corner, the four of them saw a flamingo dancing on the ground with two paws, as if something was getting it excited.
Seeing the four humans appear, the flamingo immediately stopped moving, and there was alarm in his eyes.
For Warcraft, their minds are far more developed than ordinary animals, and even high-level Warcraft can appear with the same intelligence as humans.
Quack –
Mutter!
The flamingo opened its long, pointed beak and made a very strange sound, and the four of them understood that this was another warning to them.
"Hmph, I've finally seen you!" According to the plan, Charlotte took out a large net from his backpack, which was made of metal chains, not afraid of the flames of the flamingos.
"Hans went to get its attention, and Charlotte slowly approached and waited for the opportunity, Leo and I will help you!"
