Since entering Zhangzhou, as the geographical location has become closer to the south and the mountains have become shorter, the surrounding vegetation has also begun to change compared with Taizhou.

The tall and straight coniferous forests are replaced by lower broad-leaved plants, mostly within 10 meters of height, with wider leaves that take on a deep turquoise hue in the middle of summer, blocking out large areas of sunlight.

Even in sunny areas where trees are scarce and sunny, there are dense shrubs with berries and thorns. There is hardly much to walk in the whole forest except for the auxiliary roads opened up by man, and all you can see is green, although it is full of life, but it reveals the meaning of refusing human involvement.

If it weren't for the unavoidable demands of the mission, the more experienced the adventurer would actually be inclined to follow the path that was blazed out.

Entering this kind of wildland with vegetation is very risky, and it takes a lot of time to move forward while opening the way, not to mention that the vegetation is the same in the dense forest, and it is easy to lose your way.

Secondly, you never know if your feet are just a ball of fluffy grass or solid soil, and the possibility of accidentally falling off a cliff is not low. Or the small branch that you reach for in a panic is a poison overgrown with spikes or an ant's nest, which can make your palms swollen in an instant and spread to the whole body painful abnormalities.

Coupled with the various venomous scorpions and vipers that lurk beneath the dense shrubs and rocks on the forest floor, these cold-blooded creatures are awakened by the summer heat, and they are now aggressive with hunger. Although human-sized creatures are not usually prey to snakes and scorpions, they are not sparing when it comes to using venom to repel these invaders, who are dozens of times their size.

Even reaching out to hold a tree can kill you. This is not alarmist, it is basic common sense not to touch in the midst of such a vibrant dense forest. What is harmful and what kind of road is unreliable, without enough knowledge to rush into uncultivated areas, the best result will be to get lost in it and wait for someone else to rescue.

Fortunately, there are not a few people in this advance team who have field experience. The sage used his dagger to cut off a dead branch and cut it slightly, removing the excess branches, and using it as a walking stick for exploration. After that, the group tried to find a place with a wider field of vision as much as possible, and when they encountered dense branches and leaves, they would also use a one-handed knife to clean up the parts that needed to be forced.

The medium-length Suomir's one-handed sword was a good multi-purpose tool, and the heavy slash from its thick back, untainted, resembled a large hatchet in the sage's hand.

The knife fell, and the originally dense forest suddenly opened up. With his vision widened and the ground grounded in his hands, Henry was surprisingly efficient in carving out a solid path for the rest of the group, and all they had to do was follow him, and the others who didn't have to pay more attention to their feet could devote their energy to observing the surroundings for signs of water and potential threats.

The auxiliary roads of Zhangzhou extend in all directions, as we mentioned earlier, in addition to the national highway is the Xinjing public office, in fact, the roads around the country are more convenient for people to do at will.

Except for some sections of the auxiliary roads that have been reopened, most of them are just reinforcing the existing roads.

So even if it's called an auxiliary way, it's just a word that people are used to nowadays. It is not as neat and standardized as a national highway, but is actually a system of interconnected roads that have been abandoned in many places, so it would be more officially a system of auxiliary roads. But since people have become accustomed to this expression, it has continued.

The first step of Henry's group was to follow the road upwards to gain a larger view, but the main part of the auxiliary road was redirected to the south because of its function as a relief from the pressure on the national highway.

After deviating from the more commonly used part, the remaining road often needs to be stopped and searched, and the work is carried out with a one-handed knife.

The quality is not great, but this one-handed knife is still usable. The small icy country on the northern part of the East Coast is rich in high-quality iron ore, just as chefs like to say, "Anyone can make the best beef", and the quality of the ingredients is so high that even any blacksmith can handle things with durability.

As a mercenary and an adventurer, all kinds of repair tools such as whetstones and maintenance oils will basically not leave you. Adventurer-related shops of all sizes always sell whetstones cut to the size of palms, and this portable size is perfect for carrying around in a leather bag. It is usually a fine grinding stone that is used to repair the normal wear and tear of the blade.

But if you've experienced bloody battles or unusual use, such as the Chipping and Curling Blades caused by attacks that are common for beginners to target their opponent's weapons instead of their bodies, or if a fool uses his sword as a page hammer to slam at the hardest part of his opponent in armor. This level of damage can only be replaced, or handed over to a professional blacksmith for restoration work.

Of course, a sword with a cratted and jagged blade is still deadly. Although it is not as efficient, it can still be used to continue fighting in an emergency.

- Returning to the original point, seasoned adventurers such as our Sage and Miss Luo'an, in addition to spare clothes and bedding, which are stored in the campsite, usually carry some essential small items with them.

A simple fire sickle and quartz with a carbon cloth take up a palm-sized space, and a twine cut into a little thumb length soaked in melted beeswax can be kneaded to make a good fire starter and a temporary wick. In addition, with a sewing kit and a grinding stone for repairing blades, as well as some first-aid supplies such as herb bandages, these waterproof fanny packs are smeared with beeswax and melted into the crevices and surfaces, forming an inseparable carry-on suit.

Experienced adventurers have their own set of equipment, which is usually combined with a dagger dagger. Portable swords and the like can be additionally mounted with detachable buckles or belt buckles. This is designed to make it easier to temporarily remove the sword when you sit down indoors, or to take it off and wrap it up in places where it is forbidden to carry swords and weapons in the open.

After all, even a shorter sword is usually about a meter long, and it can be a real obstacle when sitting down - even when the group is walking in the forest.

Old Joe and Yajiro from the northern domain had no idea how dense the forests were in the south, and although the sage led the way and they only carried a long-waisted sword, the scabbard still bumped into the branches of the trees from time to time as they walked through the forest.

The scabbard is as beautiful as a work of art, and the lacquer on the surface of the sheath of the wooden core is usually treated as smooth as a mirror. But the more perfect things were, the more glaring the flaws, and after a short time through the woods, Yajiro began to look back at his scabbard again and again, and frowned deeply.

The samurai's weapons were almost ritually sacred, and it was a shame for any samurai to have a rusty sword. The same is true of scabbards, which are full of scratches and scratches and paint off, and are regarded as disqualified people who are lazy and careless and do not follow the way of the samurai, and Yajiro, who has always aspired to be a perfect samurai, naturally finds this unbearable.

It's just that he has grown a lot along the way, and when he was still in Qingzhi or even just set off, he was afraid that he would start to get angry because of such a thing and even leave others to turn around and go back alone.

Focusing on the overall situation, it is very premature to deduct such details in this case. While the young master adjusted his own psychology, the sage who led the way in front also stopped.

"The road is in good condition here, and there are some remnants of buildings, so it looks like you've arrived at a village. After a short climb and a little further down, the imaginary mountain spring had not yet appeared, but there was another better goal.

Everywhere, people's needs are always the same. Since there is a settlement nearby, there is probably a water source such as a well.

Even if there are no wells, most people here will have a fixed place to get water, so they will go to the village first to explore before deciding what to do next. The vast concept of the valley was suddenly narrowed down to the village's water source, and even if it seemed like a small thing, Henry's style remained unchanged. Determine the goal step by step, but at the same time, there is a clear concept, and you will not spin in place and entangle yourself with meaningless things.

There is a word called Winding Path to the Quiet in Crescent Island, and there are words that can express similar meanings, such as the sudden opening of the peaks and loops, and this is also the word that Yajiro and others almost want to blurt out.

The village is small in size and is similar in size to the village where Hayato lived in the past. But it seems to have been abandoned for quite some time.

The abandoned farmland is overgrown with weeds, and some of the houses on the outskirts are dilapidated. Looking at this scene, and then thinking of the appearance of the nobles on Ziyun's side, it made people a little speechless for a while.

There is almost no communication with foreign countries, and it occupies the entire continent as a country, and it is basically a country dominated by agriculture.

The scene seen in Taizhou was very admirable, but after entering Zhangzhou, the details seen by the group became more and more worrying.

Is the samurai class really still the glory of the country?

The Chinese despise the warriors, believing them to be white meals, and the people also think that these aggressive creatures are dangerous, although they do not speak out openly.

Like many young children of the Tsukino Kuni samurai, Yajiro was born and raised with the ideal of becoming a perfect samurai. However, what has happened to him along the way has been full of imperfections and compromises.

The class he belongs to now, in his eyes, is more and more like the legendary demon knife that will suck the life of his master.

The vast samurai class has eaten away at the country's vitality, and the farmland is deserted, the villages are in ruins, and the people have nowhere to go.

Only the warriors with swords in their waists and dressed in fine clothes still flaunted their might, shouting loudly about their creeds, rituals, dignity, and how important everything was.

Did they not see what they saw, or did they choose to turn a blind eye to it?

"I saw the well. Henry's words interrupted Yajiro's thoughts, and the group of people who had been observing from the slope made sure that there was indeed a well in the village, and went straight to it.
