"Mike, keep up, you've slowed us down again!" Lucius' voice came from ahead, a tremor after the reflection of the leaves. Zhao Mai, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" pavilion, snorted, exerted force on his shoulders, lifted the backpack upwards vigorously, and tried to follow the footprints in front of him.

My physical fitness is still a little poor, sitting for a long time to write books and driving, and I have been lacking exercise. Fortunately, after coming to this world, I consciously strengthened the cultivation of physical fitness, and at least returned to the level of sports during college, and may have slightly exceeded it. But his foundation is really insufficient, and it can't be compared with these people who have lived in the wild since childhood.

Besides, I was well prepared for this parade. A suit of leather armor plus a shield, a megalodon musket, a sling, and a bunch of projectiles, as well as a variety of ropes that could be used to set traps, traps, three candles, a large canvas that could be used for various purposes, and even a needle and thread, and a pot. These things should be fixed with cloth tapes to avoid colliding with each other due to movement and making noise in exposed positions.

These are some things that druids don't need. In the natural environment, their ability to survive is very outstanding, even if they are naked and do not bring anything, they can survive as if they were on vacation. Lucius had this self-confidence, he wore only leather armor, carried a bow and arrows, and spears, and was completely light, leading the way. Afrado had brought a backpack that appeared to contain bottles and jars, possibly some homemade ointment. Ziyue carried two scimitars on her back, but the weapon she was really familiar with was the blow arrow at her waist.

Zhao Mai's burden is the largest, and at the same time, he has to take care of the reserve grain. Although the puppy can run faster than Zhao Mai, he often can't climb over some thick tree roots or craggy strange rocks. It has to be said that Lucius's feline companions are much stronger when it comes to climbing mountains, and the cheetah jumps quickly from branch to branch with little sound.

Afra's animal companion is a gibbon, and she has no problem moving through the woods. Purple Moon's companion is an owl that appears to be sleeping all day, and spends most of her time on Purple Moon's shoulder. However, Zhao Mai noticed that every time someone approached, the owl could open its eyes in time and stare at it non-stop.

"Mr. Daller said, take a break in front. Mike, hurry up and keep up, don't procrastinate!" Lucius's voice floated from the front like a magic sound.

It can't be said that his voice is completely useless, at least Zhao Mai can always determine the direction of his companion through this. This is a parade, in fact, the most basic patrol mission. Aside from following Dald Druid to the Ash Lake, it's impossible to determine what else to do. Zhao Mai had already figured out that this was not a rush march, and the druids would not let the team out of their control, so there was no need for him to push his physical strength to the limit. It is prudent to reserve a part of the strength in order to deal with unexpected situations.

Gasping for breath and trying to adjust your breathing, inhale three times sharply and exhale slowly once to increase your body's use of oxygen. Zhao Mai leaned down again to pick up the reserve grain, and after seeing the path, he quickly swung his legs and walked around a pile of thorns. If you let the reserve grain go by itself, you will definitely be covered with scars.

Dahler arranged the other three people by the lake, and then turned around and came back, just in time to see the scene: "Mike, have you ever learned to walk through the woods?"

"Not formally learned, Mr. Dalle. But I've seen Ranger Carl use the Woodwalk, so I wanted to imitate it. ”

"Oh, Carl, that's my old friend. Dalle smiled slightly, "He learned his wood-piercing steps from me, but he also taught me how to use a crossbow to snipe." ”

"Uh, you know?" Zhao Mai picked up the reserve grain in both hands, "Look, this is a dog meat child, Mr. Carl gave it to me." ”

"In that case, he really thinks highly of you. Dale reached out and helped Zhao Mai regain his balance, and then walked side by side with him. "I met him fifteen years ago, when his dog meat was as big as your puppy. So many years have passed in a blink of an eye, and I don't know how old he has become. ”

"Fifteen years ago?" Zhao Mai looked Dalle Druid up and down, and then sighed: "Alas, as long as the druid has a thousand faces, he can't see the age anymore. I thought you were young. ”

"I'm not big, I'm only thirty years old by human standards. Dahler explained, "I have a portion of the blood of the Qi elemental lineage, and I will live a little longer. ”

"No wonder you like to live on such heights. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to sleep for fear of falling to my death. ”

The two men said as they walked, and their mutual ranger friend noticeably narrowed the distance. After coming out of the woods, the two of them walked side by side to the river, and saw that the other three had already begun to gather some firewood and prepare for the camp for the night.

Druids love the natural environment, but that doesn't mean they don't use natural resources. Even if you don't cut down trees, it's still okay to pick up dead branches and start a fire. Zhao Mai put down his backpack and took out a small pot from it. Although Lucius didn't say it, he also knew very well in his heart that this pot would be very helpful in improving their living standards.

They are right next to the River of Oily Smoke, where the water always has a strange layer of black-gray grease that is disgusting to drink. It is said that this is related to the environment of the upper Stova Plateau and Raven Plain. Once the land was ruled by powerful arcanists in antiquity, it was destroyed by their fall. Beasts and Savages began a long period of notice, and it was only in the last few hundred years that civilization gradually regained some territory.

Huge alchemy factories, countless cement creatures, until now still polluting the water of the oil smoke river. Fortunately, the water is just undrinkable, there is no toxicity in it, and there is no problem with irrigation. Otherwise, there would be no vegetation in the entire Raven Plain, let alone a village.

"On the other side of the river is Raven Plain, you go south, until you reach the vicinity of Wolf Ear Town, and then you can turn back. The druid said to the four apprentices, "I will watch you for the rest of the journey, but I will not accompany you." You can't get lost along this river. But in the unlikely event that happens, you can also go to Wolf's Ears for help - as long as you accept the outcome of a failed cruise. ”

Walking along the river, you won't worry about drinking and food, and you won't lose your way, which is already the easiest survival task in the wild. Zhao Mai scooped a pot of water and applied purifying food to it, which could greatly alleviate the original disgusting taste. Purple Moon's owl flew out, and in a short time caught a snake. She only applauded happily, but Zhao scratched her hair, unsure if the owl had this function.

Everyone knew that tonight's meal was the last one Darler would eat with them, so they were very attentive. Afra catches a catfish, and Lucius' cheetah brings back two pheasants. Zhao Mai didn't have the strength to catch the prey, but he secretly put some more salt in the soup.

The druids who ate this meal were full of praise.
