Two days of heavy rain have tossed the road surface undecently.

When you leave the city, everything looks like a swamp, and even the roads are dirt. According to the adventurers, seeing that the heavy rain will not stop for a while and a half, after which many people who went out ran back, Hajar City is the largest transportation hub city in the west, so there were a lot of people in the first two years, which caused the road surface to be like this, plus the baptism of heavy rain for two days is even more muddy.

Because the carriage could not enter the mountain, the horses would get wetter after sitting for a long time, so the whole team chose to walk.

Wang Chu popped his head out of Lias's clothes, it was raining and cold outside, but his body was indeed warm inside.

It had been a morning since the departure from Hajar Academy, and the team was composed of adventurers in addition to the academy's students...... It was the first time Wang Chu had met the so-called adventurers, their identities were more like mercenaries, because they had accepted the tasks assigned by the guild, so they came with them, and the rest were the people of the army, and there were not many troops that could be drawn out of Hajar City.

There are not many troops left in the city defense, river embankment, and large and small affairs in the city, and this time the total number of troops is only about 100 people.

For the students of Hajar Academy, the task of this time was to get them used to contact and cooperate with outsiders, so even if it rained, the students were full of confidence.

Wang Chu looked at the muddy road, and if he was going to the mountain, it might not be easy to walk on this road.

Fortunately, he didn't have to walk, he looked at the other summoning beasts, and he had to follow his master...... Tsk, small people also have the benefits of being small.

Al and another guy in a black raincoat walked at the front of the student team, looking like the leader of the students, and they approached the mercenary team and occasionally chatted with each other.

probably thinks that the students look better at fooling, Wang Chu thinks that as long as he passes by, he will come to talk to him.

Especially Lias and Cecia beside her.

Come on, these two can fight anywhere.

"Your name is Lias?" Wang Chu looked at another uncle beside him, with a full beard and a raincoat, and animal fur could be seen inside, this should be a person in the adventurer team, with thick arms full of long hair, and they all looked like they were almost thirty years old.

"Yes, sir. Lias replied politely.

"Elegant name. The man continued, looking up at the rainy sky like a melancholy poet.

You can use this kind of conversation routine!

It's not good, it's not good, the rain is dripping on your face, and you don't wash your face.

"Heh, thank you. "After all, she is still a little girl, even if she meets outsiders in the academy on weekdays, she still seems a little immature and shy, especially not used to others always staring at her.

But it is often this reaction that makes others feel that there are signs of it.

"Seeing you reminds me of when I was a student...... Most of our adventurer squad are residents of Hajar City. The man talked to Rias about some unrelated topics, but Lias didn't seem to like talking about them, and always led the conversation to the mission or the techniques of survival in the wild.

"Uncle Walker, why did you say the Felder Farm suddenly caught fire?" asked Lias.

"This ...... I've just heard that there's some trouble there, because the whole area of Felder Farm is a planned crop and there aren't many other resources, so it's all businessmen who come and go, and we adventurers rarely go there, and I remember it's been more than half a year since the last time I visited. The bearded man pondered why he had been there last time.

"Isn't it raining over there? How can there be a fire in such a heavy rain? Lias thought it was incredible, and some of the other students around her also deliberately approached when they heard this, probably not understanding the reason for the incident in their hearts.

"Hehe, in fact, the location of Felder Farm is very peculiar, in order to develop agriculture, most of the surrounding mountains and forests have been transformed, the weather in that place is different from that in Hajar City, and when you cross this hill, the rain will probably stop. He pointed to the mountain at his feet.

I see.

Rias looked into the distance, and now looked back at Hajar City, except for the few iconic mage towers and the glowing orbs on the towers, there was only a territory the size of a village.

The road to the mountains became more and more difficult, and a large number of trees that had been washed away by the heavy rain fell on the side of the road, and everyone had to cut them down to pass, and the soil under their feet became very soft, and in some places the muddy water reached their knees.

It didn't look like a long road, but it didn't take until the evening to cross a mountain.

It was getting dark, but luckily the rain was light, and gradually it stopped falling and became a little muggy.

Wang Chu couldn't stay in his clothes, so he ran to Lias's shoulder.

"Is this your pet?" the uncle followed all the way, never left, and the conversation began to focus on himself.

You're so annoying, you're so old, and you're flirting with an underage girl...... Aren't there a lot of women on your team, Wang Chu glanced at the adventurer team, there are still many women, all with plump waists and fat buttocks, but they are not good hands.

"It's my summoner. ”

When the rain stopped, Lias tried to take off her raincoat, which was wet and felt uncomfortable.

"You'd better wear it anyway, otherwise it's easy to catch a cold. Uncle said.

Lucia also walked over on the side.

"Let's put on our clothes, the temperature here is a lot warmer, and the water stains will dry after a while. She reminded Lias.

Glancing at himself, Wang Chu always felt that the other party had just looked at him.

"Yes, it's strange why it's hot again in this place, is it that the fire has already burned here?" asked one of the crowd.

It felt strange, and the air around it smelled like a scorched one, like a processing smelter. But even if it's a burnt plant, it shouldn't taste like this.

The leading team of adventurers stopped.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything?"

At the head was a man in his forties, also burly, followed by a dog similar to Al's brother.

Wang Chu could only call it that, because they did look like dogs, their skin was emerald green with spots, and their tails were red to the fire.

"Captain Renault's summoner is a Cerberus, and they are very sensitive to smells, so they probably discovered something. The uncle next to him explained.

Everyone stopped and watched as two Cerberus, one large and one small, groped their way forward smelling the ground.

"Keep up!" the group beckoned to a group of people to follow.

Is there anything special about the taste, Wang Chu sniffed the smell in the air, but still couldn't find anything else.

After following the Cerberus for a while, the color of the land slowly became darker and darker.

And they found that the black things on the ground, the fruits that they had eaten so often, had been roasted into coals.

Lias picked it up and looked around, just like flat ground, there were signs on both sides of the road to guide the way, but they were all baked into charcoals, and only the place where the base could be seen was artificially inserted.

"Look at it. Several soldiers in front shouted.

Everyone ran over after the voice, and Wang Chu tried to stand up, standing on Lias's shoulder he could see higher.

Fire!

A burning flame appeared in sight.

Ahead is a low mountain plain.

Everything that could be seen in the village, wheat field, and windmill mill was in a sea of fire at this time, and everything that could be burned had been burned clean, and Wang Chu realized that the pungent smell in the air was emitted by the red-hot stones.

It's like a hell on earth, and the ground has been torn apart.
