"Good, looks like you're all ready!"

Arias pushed the metal blindfold on her right eye, and swept the party in front of her with another emerald green eye.

Minotaurs, gnolls, kobolds, and moonrats that have never been heard of, this is an adventure party worthy of the title of beast, and even through some inconvenient abilities, Arias can feel that everyone in the adventure group in front of her is shrouded in a mist.

But none of this is what Arias needs to care about, she just needs the adventuring party in front of her to be able to complete the task beautifully.

"Then let's go!"

The dreadful scales acting as the coachman waved a beautiful whip, and immediately the two strong chestnut bantams in front of the carriage began to slowly pull the heavy tarpaulin cart up.

For three days, in addition to the Beast Adventure Group preparing for the departure, Arias and Dreadscale were also preparing for the trip.

In order to get in and out of the city more easily, Elias bought a small caravan for the price of a perfect ruby, including six bantam carriages, the goods on the carriages, the coachmen who drove the carriages, and the men who carried the goods, and even the name of the caravan owner in the Ascatra Merchants' Association was changed to Ariath.

And the Beast Adventure Group, which temporarily served as a caravan guard, has also taken on a new look.

The kobold Golden Tooth bought a beautiful staff with a cryolite inlaid on the top and a basic spell book, and the robes on his body were replaced with custom gray mage robes, which were soft and comfortable.

Hogg the Gnoll added a third spike hammer to his flail, and in the future, Hogg could deal three damages per swing, and if Hogg was skilled enough with the flail, he could even hit three enemies in a single attack.

Among the remaining personnel, Kane the Minotaur remained unchanged, still holding his bullhead staff as usual, but Ron found the pouch of space around his waist, combined with the herb shop he had been in and out several times during this time, it was obviously full of herbs.

As for Miro, because of his small size and lack of stamina, he bought himself a halfling race mount: the Rottweiler Riding Dog, so that he could travel without exerting a lot of physical strength.

Ron, on the other hand, didn't change anything except to fill the four small dimensional bags with supplies and food.

............

It was a long road, and Arias's small caravan would set out from Askatra, travel through the whole territory of Am, to Esputa, then across the Viper Mountains and green fields, to Iliaba, and then embark on the mature trade route again, all the way to Simon on the Dragon's Coast.

Perhaps in Amm, Ariath's small caravan could be formed in groups with other caravans and act together in groups, but the Viper Forest and the Green Fields would require the small caravan to traverse alone.

"I'll go ahead and scout!"

The task of a perfect ruby is naturally to do your best, not to mention that before leaving, Ron has already received a deposit for this mission.

Opening the Dimension Bag and looking at the Ruby rich in the essence of life, Ron commanded Broken Tooth to run and start exploring the way.

As an adventure party hired by Arias throughout the process, Ron and the others not only have to assist Arias in completing the mission, but also act as the caravan's escort.

And the task of the caravan guard is not simply to follow the caravan forward, just provide protection, Ron and the others also have to provide the road situation ahead, whether there are monster activities, whether it is dangerous, whether it needs to be rerouted, and even the potholes on the road that affect the passage of the carriage need to be filled by the caravan guard.

At this moment, except for the kobold Golden Fang, who received some preferential treatment because of his spell-casting profession, sitting in the driver's seat next to the Scales, Ron and Miro were already scouting in front of the convoy on left and right, while Hogg and Kane were walking on foot on both sides of the caravan, always vigilant.

............

Within twenty kilometers of the walls of Ascatra is the protective distance of the City Guard, and most of the villages are located within this distance, so the large areas of cultivated farmland, flowing water canals, and thriving villages and towns make for a beautiful rural wilderness.

However, as the distance progressed, the farmland became thinner and the villages became more and more scarce, knowing that after thirty kilometers, the road was lined with withered yellow and dense meadows, and in the distance dark green and flourishing wild forests.

And Ron and Miró began to increase their vigilance, because thirty kilometers away from the city was the realm of wilderness, and a large number of beasts and monsters began to infest, and there was a possibility of attacking the caravan at any time!

"Detection Capability On!"

After turning on the hunter detection ability, Ron thought for a moment, and then adjusted the mode to humanoid tracking, and immediately the red dot in Ron's eye sockets flashed, but it showed all the members of the caravan.

As for not choosing beast tracking, the reason is clear, although the beasts in the wilderness are fierce, but unless it is a hungry wolf pack, no beast is willing to attack a large group of humans.

After all, in the eyes of the beast, humans are a rather bad food, with sour muscles, scarce fat, and all sorts of toothy gadgets.

"Hey!

"Something is going on here!"

"Come and have a look!"

The voice of the halfling in front of him sounded, and Ron commanded Broken Tooth to move forward, and immediately found Miro in the grass not far ahead.

At this moment, he was crouching on the ground, and in front of him, there were several footprints with visibly sharp claws, like the footprints left by Hogg as he walked.

"It's the footprints of the jackals. ”

"We have to let the caravan be careful. ”

Gnolls, one of the most common species of human creatures in the wilderness, have the head of a coyote, a strong body of about 1.7 meters, and like to hunt and prey on intelligent creatures.

Compared to them, goblins and kobolds are scum-like beings.

The gnolls usually don't attack large-scale caravans, because their tribe is usually only fifteen to thirty in size, but now Arias's small caravan is only five people from the Beast Adventure Group, and there are also five coachmen and men, plus Dreadscale and Ariath, a total of twelve people, which is just within the range of the gnolls.

So Ron had to warn Arias.

But Arias was clearly prepared, nodding at Ron, knowing his intentions, before retreating back into the carriage with the Dreadscales at the helm.

............

It was already starting to get dark, and the caravan had already advanced more than fifty kilometers and completely broke away from Askatra.

After a short distance, the caravan came to a glade on the edge of the woods, where the chaotic ruts and extinguished campfires showed that caravans often rested, and that it was the so-called safe area.

So, after picking a slight spot, Dreadscale commanded six wagons to surround the city with a protective ring, and then lit a bonfire.
