Zhou Zhongmou decided to go on a hiking adventure, and he planned to spend three months to six months on this trip. Basically, the route is to cross the Black Forest, then pass through the border of the Transylvanian Empire, enter the border of the Belken Empire, and then climb over the mountains to the sea from there - if it weren't for the fact that the deep part of the ocean in this hellish place has always been rich in all kinds of sea kings, otherwise Zhou Zhongmou would have looked for a boat to go along the ocean relatively quickly and closely. The problem, however, is that this route undoubtedly has to go through the Guò deep sea, and also through the Dardanelles, the famous source of the sea kings

By the sea, the shallow ShinZeya Strait, the narrowest part of the strait is about a kilometer, and the depth of the water is only 50 meters, so you can easily find a way to get to Shin-Zemya. Zhou Zhongmou just wanted to see it, he didn't think about landing on that island right now - of course, if you can think of Australia as an island, then it would be good to say that Novaya Zemlya is an island. The most important thing is that Zhou Zhongmou wants to find the direction and way out of his own strengthening in this journey, so as to accumulate a little strength to be able to manage to return to Earth.

The road is not very difficult, in fact it seems to be a road through the Black Forest, then over the Eagle's Nest Mountains, after reaching the Belken Empire, the road is easy to walk, and finally over the Carpathian Mountains to the sea, which is only about 600 kilometers or so. The territory of Southern Yuctobania is considered a peninsula in Karelia, whether it is the Kingdom of Southern Yuctobania, the Transylvanian Empire, or the Belken Empire, in this place it is only the narrowest territory in the southernmost part of the country.

Zhou Zhongmou upgraded his belt space with the gold coins he had accumulated by selling raw materials and half a frog during this time, and at the same time purchased a lot of spices, dry food and tableware, and also bought a very comfortable tent and mat sleeping bag or something - if it weren't for the magic tent that could be used for space expansion, temperature control and concealed entrances, it couldn't be stuffed into the space belt that was also magic equipment, maybe he gritted his teeth and the loser would have bought it. Of course, he didn't forget to buy an endless bag of water, which was much larger than Misha's, and could provide three liters of water per hour. "Twenty cubic meters of space belt, plus this endless water bladder. This time I lost all my belongings, a small 4,000 gold coins. Sure enough, being an enchanter is the most profitable - knowledge is wealth, and this is true of both worlds. ”

Zhou Zhongmou, who walked out of the city gates, could not even afford to buy a horse, so it seemed that he could only try to get a little money on the way, and then see if there were any mounts for sale in the towns he passed by on the road. This time the journey was easy, and the soldiers who had set up sentry posts on the road didn't have time to pay attention to the mercenaries walking outside the city - the eye-catching mercenary emblems on their shoulders and their unusually tall bodies naturally let these soldiers know that it was best not to meddle. With a big sword on his waist and a pair of chain mail on his body, this is Zhou Zhongmou's full dress, which is much easier than carrying a big bag on his back.

Zhou Zhongmou, who was on the road easily, had already walked sixty kilometers by the evening, and the silhouette of the fortress could already be seen with the naked eye. Zhou Zhongmou turned off the road that no one had walked anymore and burrowed into the bushes of the hills on the side. Based on his past experience of surviving alone in the forest, he easily found a dry plateau with many fallen leaves.

There were dense trees and shrubs on this high ground, but there was enough space between the trees for Zhou Zhongmou to put down his tent, he gathered the fallen leaves on the ground into a pile, and then dug a shallow pit in the clearing, and threw all the fallen leaves into it and lit them. The flames quickly dried the neighborhood, and many of the insects were driven away by the flames and smoke. Zhou Zhongmou extinguished the flames, poured out ten boxes from the spatial belt in one go, and then left one box according to the number on the surface, and took back the others. Zhou Zhongmou spread a piece of the fur of a demonic beast on the shallow pit that extinguished the flames - this is the skin of a demonized boar that can isolate the flames, isolate the flames and breathe, the best is still very wear-resistant and firm, and it has always been one of the best skins to lay at the bottom when camping. In the box, Zhou Zhongmou prepared several kinds of such skins to adapt to different geographical conditions.

After laying out the skin, which was spliced into more than ten square meters, Zhou Zhongmou began to set up a tent on it. After quickly setting up a fire-resistant, wear-resistant and rain-proof tent treated with alchemical potions, Zhou Zhongmou picked up a shovel and dug a deeper but much smaller pit - this was the fire. The surrounding bushes could provide him with a lot of firewood, and Zhou Zhongmou used his magic sword to cut down all the bushes around the tent and the fire pit to obtain firewood and make a firebreak - as if the magic sword was crying?

Zhou Zhongmou, who lit the fire, sat on the iron frame set up by the fire, hung a large cauldron, and put water and dried meat and vegetables in the pot. While waiting for the soup to open, he found another piece of thick cake that was hard enough to be used as a weapon, cut a large piece with the magic sword, chopped it up, and then waited for the meal to start.

The night passed without incident, and it seemed that since the Transylvanian army had taken over the fortress, the surrounding monsters and demonized beasts had avoided the place. Zhou Zhongmou slept soundly, and when he got up, he put away his tent and set out on the road again—his goal was not to cross the stone bridge, but to walk along the river to another wooden bridge ten kilometers away to see if he could cross it. The wooden bridge looked to be in disrepair, and the slender wooden planks covered the slender bridge as if it was about to collapse at any moment. Naturally, therefore, there were no soldiers stationed guarding the bridge, which would not have been used by any normal mind, to cross the army, not to mention the broken bridge, and even the road it connected was one of the kind that could not be used by the army.

Zhou Zhongmou looked at the decaying bridge and felt a little troublesome, and to be honest, he really didn't feel at ease that he would be able to pass through the bridge - with his weight, the bridge would probably collapse halfway through. "But maybe it's surprisingly strong, but I'm prepared. Zhou Zhongmou unhurriedly poured out all the boxes from the space belt again, and then left one and put the others away. This time, the chest contained spare weapons, including a powerful crossbow and a hooked barbed arrow with a chain tied to the back.

Taking advantage of the large trees on both sides of the river, Zhou Zhongmou climbed across the river on an iron chain. He smiled and began to continue his journey.

He had walked on this course for three days, and now he was almost passing through the Black Forest, but on this very day a sight appeared in front of him that was absolutely abnormal—and in front of him, a large clearing suddenly appeared in the original dense forest, and in the middle of the clearing, there was a deserted manor.
