Chapter 36: Out of Northumberwood
With this lesson, the old dwarf Abbas could no longer believe the way he had been. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info just rest by the river for a while, soothing the beating heart. Abbas took out a dry map of animal skins and looked at it with a solemn face.
Chen Tang leaned over and asked, "Patriarch Abbasid, what are we going to do next?"
The old dwarf did not reply, but nodded the skin map with his hand, and said, "We will take this position now, and we have only walked a third of the way. According to previous experience, the rest of the road still needs to pass through the territory of at least three demonic beasts. But I don't dare to guarantee safety, after all, even the tin rhinoceros has expanded its territory for its cubs. No one knows if the demonic beasts on the road ahead will also expand their territory. ”
"Why don't we take a detour? Even if it takes a little more time, it's better to try your luck?" Chen Tang proposed.
Shaking his head, the old dwarf said: "No, if we take a detour, at least half of the time will be wasted, and then it will delay our delivery time." The credibility of the dwarves can't be smashed in my hands, and even if we take a detour, no one can guarantee that we won't run into demonic beasts if we go any other way. ”
This can't do that, what the hell is going to do? Chen Tang was a little depressed.
"Let's get on the road, let's take this old road, let's be more careful. In the end, Abbas still decided to go ahead with the original plan, and at the moment he regretted it a little...... At first, the elven elder Savjak had kindly tried to give him a map, but he refused. If he knew that this path was not safe, he would not pay too much attention to his cheeks even if he was stubborn. It's a pity that it's too late to say that now.
Urging the dwarves to get on the road and prepare to go, Chen Tang looked at everyone and put their weapons and armor on their backs. "Good dwarves, our next road is dangerous. It's a complete drag on your back with these weapons, so why don't you give them all to me, let me put them in the storage ring, and I'll give them back to you when I get to the Silver Jungle, how about it?"
It's a good idea, at least the dwarves don't have to be so clumsy, and they can even travel much faster. The dwarves already regarded Chen Tang as a friend, so they would not refuse the kindness of their friends.
The Abbasid patriarch thanked Chen Tang and asked the dwarves to pile up their weapons and armor. Chen Tang just waved his hand and put away all his weapons. The dwarves were amazed...... While they hadn't used a storage ring, they also knew that there was limited space to store this magical item. With such a ring that Chen Tang easily put away so many weapons and armor, I'm afraid that even the queen of the elf clan can't have it.
All of a sudden, it was much easier, and the dwarf just took his hammer and crossbow and went on the road lightly. In order to ensure safety, Chen Tang stopped riding the lion Nemo, and walked at the forefront of the team with the old dwarf Abbas, alert to possible crises at any time. And Nemo was let out by Chen Tang and wandered around, relying on the instinct of the demonic beast, he was able to detect danger in advance.
With sufficient preparations, they successfully avoided several Warcraft territories in the next few days. Although there were a few times when it was very dangerous, it almost lured the monster out, but fortunately, there was no danger.
Along the way, redrawing the map along the way, Abbas was not idle. The boring rush made Chen Tang a little bored, so he took out Old Junker's magic book and flipped through it, although he still couldn't understand it, but it could also be used to pass the time.
After walking for a while, he was about to walk out of the middle of the mountain range, and successfully avoided many magical beasts. The density of the demonic beasts here even Chen Tang was a little surprised, and the old dwarf Abbas had a gloomy expression, muttering from time to time: "Too much...... How could there be so many magical beasts? shouldn't ......!"
"What's the matter, Patriarch Abbas?" Chen Tang asked curiously.
"It's nothing, it's just that there are a lot more monsters in the Northumbrham Mountains. In the past, some ordinary mountains actually inhabited by demonic beasts, and I don't know what the reason was. The old dwarf shook his head, he was a little worried, how could he not have noticed this before. You must know that the tribe of dwarves settled on the edge of the mountains, but it was also in Northumbwood. According to the speed at which the demonic beasts are multiplying, maybe one day there will be a guy who will wander to Iron Tree Town, and after going back this time, you need to be on guard as soon as possible.
After all, Chen Tang is not from this world, and he doesn't know what the sudden increase in demonic beasts represents, so he doesn't care. There was even some joy............ In the future, if you learn magic and need to hunt magic crystals to build a magic circle, you don't have to run around, you only need to enter the Northumbwood Mountains.
Naturally, it was impossible to be safe forever along the way, and when they were about to get out of the middle of the mountain range, they still inevitably alarmed a demonic beast. It was a two-headed eagle with three or four meters of wings. No matter how careful the dwarves were, they couldn't avoid this magical beast flying in the sky. Even Nemo the Lion's earth-based magic didn't have much effect, and in the face of the ice spikes spewing from the mouth of the two-headed eagle, he could only scurry.
Many dwarves have been stabbed by the Eagle Eagle's magical ice, and ordinary crossbows can't pierce the Eagle Eagle's iron-solid feathers. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the old dwarf Abbas took out his musket, loaded it with Adamantite projectiles, and shot several bloody holes into the two-headed eagle. Coupled with the fact that they quickly left the territory of the Eagle Eagle, they were able to get rid of the entanglement.
Chen Tang was too greedy, how good would it be if he could have this kind of weapon that could hurt the demonic beasts? Unfortunately, the dwarves were all old and stubborn, so they couldn't make sense, so they had to give up.
Finally, after climbing over a ridge, the tall dense forest gradually thinned out, and the surrounding air seemed to come alive, and it was considered to be out of the heart of the dangerous Northumbrham Mountains. The rest of the road was much easier, and Chen Tang found that the environment here was extraordinary in any place, especially when he happened to see a tall tree with a silver-white body, several people hugging each other, and he couldn't see the top at a glance.
Is this really a living tree? From a distance, it looks like a work of art made of sterling silver. The wide leaves resemble maple leaves, swaying in the wind, and making a pleasant sound like wind chimes. If it weren't for the fact that the tree was too big, Chen Tang would almost want to cut it down and put it in a storage ring as a collector's item.
"Don't make a fuss, it's just a [Holy White Tree]. It's not too late to be surprised when you get to the elves' silver forest...... You must know that the Silver Jungle is all composed of this kind of tree, stretching for thousands of miles, and there is even a miraculous [Ancient Tree of Life] among them. Abbas said disapprerovingly, seemingly disdainful of Chen Tang's fuss.
Hearing the old dwarf say this, Chen Tang looked forward to the elves' silver jungle more and more.
"It's about three days away, Brian, take out the armor and weapons, and we'll carry them on our backs. "The old dwarf has a good face, and he doesn't want to be seen by the elves that he actually asked someone else to help deliver weapons, although no one will say anything, but the dwarf's damn face is still very important.
Once again, the weapon armor returned to the dwarf's back, and he hurried towards the elves' silver forest. Along the way, the number of holy white trees gradually increased, at first there were three or five, then a small patch of woods, and finally, when the last mountain beam was crossed, an endless vast plain appeared in front of you. Just in the southeastern part of the plain, a vast forest of holy white trees appeared in front of me. It's a silvery white world, so amazing that you can't breathe, and even if it's far away, you can hear a pleasant voice like a lover's whisper.
The home of the elves is like a fairyland, not only Chen Tang was deeply fascinated, but even the dwarves muttered one by one, as if they were very angry why a good place was occupied by stinky elves.
Out of the mountains and into the plains, this is simply a god-given land, any ordinary flat land, it is extremely fertile. According to the old dwarves, this plain called [Soromuntai] is even wider than Northumbwood. Occupying it are all orc kingdoms, tribes, castles, ......! Chen Tang's eyes were extremely hot, he was thinking, if the earthlings were allowed to get such a piece of feng shui treasure, I am afraid that they would have already tried their best to snatch it even if they started a war. But the orcs obviously didn't care too much, otherwise the vast area of fertile soil in front of them wouldn't be overgrown with weeds.
But when I thought about it, I was relieved...... The world is so big, it seems to be many times bigger than the entire earth. Although the orcs are the masters, the population will definitely not be as terrifying as on the earth, with billions of dollars at every turn. So it makes sense that most of the land is barren.
Along a large river that flowed through the Silver Forest, Abbas remembered that there was a wooden bridge made of elves not far away. Stepping over the wooden bridge, it is the territory of the elves.
When they could see the crooked wooden bridge in the distance, the elven scouts also spotted the group. A dozen elven scouts riding cheetahs roared towards them, surrounding them from afar. Be especially wary of Chen Tang, a foreigner, and the elven captain led by the demonic beast lion he sat down asked with a vigilant voice: "Dwarves, you have come to the territory of the elves and tell me your intentions. ”
Abbas pointed to the weapons and armor on his people's backs and said, "I have a deal with your Elder Saviak, and this is the armor and scimitar he ordered. As promised, I personally delivered it. ”
The elven captain seemed to know about this, and he sighed and said, "So you are the dwarven tribe of Iron Tree Castle?"
"I am Abbas, the patriarch of Irontree Castle!"
The elves were in awe, knowing that from Irontree to the Silver Forest, they needed to cross the entire Northumbrham Mountains. Needless to say, the dwarves are indeed a race of credibility.
"Please accept our respects, good dwarf. Come with me, Elder Savjak once commanded us. When I see you, I will let you go. Cross this wooden bridge and head in the direction of the left, where my people will receive you and inform Elder Saviak. It's a shame that we can't invite you into the Silver Forest, as we are at war with the Orc Kingdom, and the magic barrier of the Silver Forest is fully open and cannot be easily removed. ”
The dwarves didn't care, but Chen Tang was in a hurry............ He was here to enter the elven jungle to learn magic, how could he be turned away?
