Chapter Twenty-Eight: Out of the City
......
Chen Hu's team went out of the city gate, along the border of the magic wasteland all the way to the north, the scenery along the way is also peculiar, to the right hand side of the team is a desert, the yellow sand is long, not a single inch of grass grows, the rising heat is floating in the air, no matter people and animals, as long as they go here, it must be mental malaise, magic energy is exhausted, it seems that the magic elements of this piece of heaven and earth have also evaporated, even the alchemy performed by the fighters, the hand-to-hand combat of demon beasts will be greatly discounted, in a word, it is in addition to desolation or desolation.
Further to the left, the opposite is true, a field full of life, covered by all kinds of vegetation, without the slightest gloom, dark green, goose yellow, red and red reflect each other, insects in the flowers stop and feed, birds hover in the sky, and occasionally you can see several wild beasts shuttling back and forth between the grasslands and jungles to hunt.
At the junction, there is a clear distinction, the lush grass reaches this limit, quickly withering, flying floc will fall through it, insects scream, beasts, birds are circling back.
At this time, a young man about twenty years old in the middle of the team, with short hair, slightly thin and slightly dark skin, ran to the head of the team with excitement on his face, and asked curiously towards a man in his forties with a horse face, a blue robe, and a stubble face, "Team leader, has this place always been like this?"
This is the first time he has gone far away, everything is so new for this young man, this time he finally joined the team through the selection, so he made up his mind to learn from others and see the world by the way.
In fact, the so-called selection is just to do physical work, hunting near the waterfront town to test endurance and courage, after all, although the town is some distance away from the mines near Tianya Cave, but this road is also on the border of the magic wasteland, which is not how dangerous it is, and most of the demon beasts are also day and night, plus the standard configuration of a team is twelve people, in addition to the captain is a beginner mage, there are several people who are mages, Fighter apprentice, facing ordinary beasts is enough to deal with, even if it is a low-level demon beast, there are some possibilities to escape, and it is impossible to make money without taking risks in these years.
The blue-robed man didn't look at the young man, but just looked into the distance, and said meaningfully,
"I don't know when it is, it's been like this now, how many years, nothing has changed, and I don't know why, it is said that the Magic Association and the military have sent forbidden spell mages to probe, up to tens of thousands of meters of thin air in the air, down to the depths of the ground that touches the magma, and no abnormalities have been found, and even the Divine Array Master led the twelve Demon Array Divisions, but only detected a layer of obscure biological positions. β
The young man followed the leader, concentrated, and did not dare to come out, and everyone listened attentively, except for the birdsong and the leader's low narration, there was only the sparse friction sound passing through the grass.
The leader man glanced at everyone, and they all looked at themselves and waited for the following, and he didn't sell it, "So, for this unknown danger, the Magic Association will invite the first generation of formation kings who have cultivated to the Divine Array Master to gather the twelve demon array masters who dominate one side under the village, and arrange a thirty-six day battle formation under the village, and seventy-two places to destroy the array, interlocking with each other, guarding the village, suppressing evil demons, and protecting the peace of the western part of the Shenzhou Continent." β
"So, then we also have a formation guard in Waterfront Town?" This time it was a girl of the same age as the young man, wearing a capable crimson power suit with silver edges, and her short shoulder-length hair was tied into two bags with ribbons, which not only showed a rare good figure at this age, but also gave people a youthful atmosphere.
"That's for sure, our Waterfront Town is an important town in the Magical Wasteland, and it must be indispensable!" replied the short-haired young man with a proud face.
"Hmph, you know again!" the girl snorted and turned her face away.
"Uhhhh
"Okay, don't argue, it's true that as Dong Rui said, Waterfront Town also has a law, but our Waterfront Town is far from being an important town. Now concentrate on hurrying, we must get to the market before dark, or it will be dangerous. Seeing that the two little guys began to talk again, the middle-aged man in the blue robe also had a headache and hurriedly interrupted.
This little girl also came out of nowhere, and suddenly one day broke into the meeting point of her adventure team, kicked open the door, and shouted directly to join them, but she couldn't provide identification, not to mention that one of her daughters was also inconvenient in a group of big men, and this situation was not allowed to join, but some time ago, a newcomer just died in the last outing, and she couldn't recruit a replacement for a while, and she alone knocked down the eight big men in the team in less than a cup of tea, and she was strong, so she reluctantly agreedγ
It's just that such an outstanding-looking little girl always causes trouble for the team, and her personality is not informal, although such a character is perfect for the team that survives in the wild, but it is inevitable that there will always be a group of flies around her, which is annoying, including this Dong Rui.
Hearing the leader's order, everyone was no longer distracted, and concentrated on rushing to the road, the short-haired young man called Dong Rui, just after listening to the leader, rubbed next to the woman in the strong suit, and said with a smile, "Qian'er, what kind of town do you say is an important town, our waterfront town is so big, a radius of more than ten kilometers, so prosperous, it is far from it, it has to be big!"
The girl listened, and said with disdain, "You are embarrassed to say within a radius of ten kilometers, Waterfront Town is a township at most, I think if you want to talk about the important town of the Magic Wasteland, it is to count Star Town, saying that it is a town, in fact, I am afraid that the scale is already a small town, counting the outer city There are hundreds of kilometers, but because it is located in the center of the entire Magic Wasteland, the lack of resources restricts development, so the economy is depressed, and it is also divided into townships like Waterfront Town." After speaking, he didn't forget to add, "Also, I am not familiar with you enough to call me like this, you can call me by my name."
"Uh, okay," Dong Rui agreed awkwardly, "Ling Qian..."
As soon as he spoke, he saw the woman strangely pull out a black half-moon-shaped dagger from her waist, the knife was not out of the sheath, but the cold air was close to her throat.
Frightened, he hurriedly changed his words and said, "Chen Lingqian, you are really well-informed, you know this." β
In the blink of an eye, the dagger disappeared strangely, as if it had never appeared, and the woman named Chen Lingqian chuckled, "What is this, fuss, it's just that the important town is not determined by the size of the town, but the importance of the region, for example, Xingchen Town is in the center of the magical wasteland, if there is a formation, it must be where the eye of the formation is; As he spoke, he bit his lower lip pensively.
Dong Rui nodded as if he didn't understand, still confused.
Walking not far behind them, who was in charge of flank guard, the middle-aged man who had persuaded Chen Hu to leave early at the gate of the outer city, with a simple appearance and wearing coarse linen clothes, flickered imperceptibly.
"Okay, okay, Dong Rui, don't bother Miss Chen, we've been walking for half a day, I think it's more than half an hour, it's time to go to the market, you hurry to your position and watch, there will be fierce beasts and monster cubs ready to move at dusk." Chen Hu reminded at the right time on the side.
