Chapter 199: A Strange Land

In the midst of a dense forest, the clear water of the river flows.

The subtle sound of water running through it sounded in front of me and then emerged.

Next to the stream, Chen Heng's face was calm, he built a bonfire, and used simple materials to temporarily build a grill.

Although there is not enough spice and nothing else, the baked food is not destined to be very tasty, but at least it is much better than eating it raw.

Chen Heng sat here calmly, grilling the fish.

Beside her, the little girl sat there, looking extraordinarily silent, just sitting without saying a word, looking extraordinarily silent.

Although several days had passed, the little girl still looked the same as before.

Looking at it this way, it doesn't seem to have changed much.

However, Chen Heng could feel that as time passed, the little girl's mental fluctuations had changed a lot.

Originally, there was a sense of despair in her mental fluctuations, and all kinds of negative emotions were entrenched in her body, and they could not be dissipated at a glance.

But now, after a few days, the negative emotions on the girl's body have dissipated, and the mental fluctuations are basically normal at this moment.

Obviously, Chen Heng's care during this period of time is still somewhat useful.

Casually took down a grilled fish and put it in the hands of the girl on the side, Chen Heng then turned around and looked into the distance.

In the distance was a forest, which didn't seem to be anything special, but Chen Heng could hear that there were bursts of footsteps coming from that place.

It seems that in the forest, someone is approaching, walking towards where they are.

"Did you finally run into someone else?"

Feel the movement? This thought flashed through Chen Heng's heart.

Raising a campfire in the wild? Under normal circumstances, this is a very dangerous thing to do.

There are many dangerous creatures living in this forest? Rushing to start a bonfire? Maybe it will bring these lives together.

But Chen Heng didn't care, and even deliberately did so along the way.

Why is he like this? Naturally, I hope to find an opportunity to attract people from the neighborhood as well.

He's been down the stream for days? No trace of anyone's survival was found.

Days like this? Rao is Chen Heng, and he can't help but be a little bored.

So, he wants to find the indigenous people of this place and go to the nearby gathering place? to find out the information about this area.

Now it seems? It's finally working.

Not far away, the sound of footsteps kept passing by, vaguely with some violent mental fluctuations.

Their mental fluctuations were very violent, with some anxiety and fear in them, as if they were being chased by something.

Sure enough.

After a while? Chen Heng raised his head and just saw several figures running from a distance.

Is there three of them? The leader of them is a middle-aged man, and the rest are two young people, a man and a woman.

At this moment? They were chased by several strange-looking beasts, and their faces looked extremely anxious.

"George? Hold on a little longer!"

Running hard? Middle-aged man gasping for breath? Looking at the young man on the side, he opened his mouth and encouraged: "There is a bonfire in front, there should be someone stationed there!"

"Just go there and we will be saved!"

He shouted, trying to encourage his partner.

Listening to his words, beside him, two young men, a man and a woman, did not speak, but gasped for breath and tried to rush forward.

They sprinted forward as hard as they could, gradually approaching the location of the campfire.

Then, they saw what was ahead.

In front of the stream, a bonfire went up, and on top of it, a young man who looked very young sat upright, followed by a little girl.

The whole look was completely different from what they had imagined.

Previously, they subconsciously thought that those who dared to raise a bonfire in this dense forest and were not afraid of the demonic beasts around them were at least a really powerful mercenary group.

The three of them can also ask the mercenary group for help and get rid of the danger in front of them.

But now it seems that it is not at all what they thought.

"Hell!"

Looking at the appearance in front of the bonfire in front of him, the middle-aged man was desperate: "How dare these two people enter the dense forest!"

Taking advantage of the gap, he looked behind him.

Behind them, a three-meter-tall tiger that looked exceptionally large slowly chased after them, a pair of huge scarlet eyes staring at them, and there seemed to be some bloodthirsty desire in them, as if they were trying to eat people.

Of course, it is also true that it is necessary to eat people.

As far as the current situation is concerned, there are few creatures in this dense forest that do not eat people.

Chen Heng had traveled all the way before, and he could see human bones almost everywhere.

In this area, there should be a very large number of people who died in the mouths of these demonic beasts and died here.

"Go over and leave with those two children!"

Looking at Chen Heng and the others, who were gradually standing up in front of them, and they didn't seem to be able to figure out the state, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth, and finally spoke: "I'll go and lure this demonic beast away and buy you some time!"

"Captain!"

Beside him, two voices came at the same time, looking at the middle-aged man, looking a little hesitant.

"Don't mother-in-law, mother-in-law, go quickly!"

The middle-aged man roared in a low voice, without the slightest hesitation, directly pulled out the long sword on his body, and rushed towards the black beast behind him.

Obviously, he was going to fight the beast and buy the others a little time.

"He's going to rush over and fight?"

Looking at the middle-aged man's movements, Chen Heng's face showed some strange expression.

Because he couldn't understand the language of this area, he didn't know what the middle-aged man said before, but he just looked at the middle-aged man's movements, and felt a little strange.

After all, judging from the fact that they had been hunted down before, this middle-aged man was obviously no match for the tiger.

Do you want to rush over now and send you to your death?

However, after a while, he suddenly smiled and understood.

"Let's go!"

In front, two young men, a man and a woman, rushed to the front and shouted at Chen Heng and the others, wanting to take them away.

It's just that the next moment, they were stunned.

In front of the campfire, the little girl was still sitting there.

As for Chen Heng's figure, it has long been gone at this moment.

Then they heard a roar behind them.

They subconsciously looked behind them, and then couldn't help but be stunned.

A silver long sword suddenly came out of its body, and then in front of him, the huge black beast screamed and fell directly.......

...........

Moments later, before the creek.

A bonfire burned there, and there was already some new meat on it.

The corpse of the demon tiger before was just lying on one side, emitting a strong smell of blood.

The middle-aged man took the other two and sat opposite Chen Heng with some embarrassment.

"Sir.....; We actually have dry food......"

Looking at Chen Heng, who was seriously barbecuing meat in front of him, the middle-aged man subconsciously spoke, but then paused.

He remembered that the gentleman in front of him didn't know their language.

Looking at the other party's serious barbecue, the scene from before resurfaced in front of them.

Before Chen Heng made a move, the huge black giant tiger was directly killed by Chen Heng, and there was no room for even a struggle.

That kind of scene was really shocking, so that the three middle-aged men couldn't help but feel a little frightened when they watched it now.

"Can you know where this gentleman came from?"

Looking at the middle-aged man, George spoke softly and whispered, "I've never seen such a fierce warrior......"

"He's better than all the fighters I know......."

"Who's to say it isn't?"

Beside George, the only woman among the three also spoke: "Looking at his appearance, it shouldn't be a local person, maybe a soldier from other places?"

"I just don't know which country it came from. ”

"It's a pity that the other party doesn't understand the language and can't communicate for the time being. ”

She glanced at Chen Heng and was relieved to see that Chen Heng was seriously roasting tiger meat there without any special reaction.

In front of them, Chen Heng showed a very good appearance.

At least in the eyes of George, he obviously had enough strength to suppress them, but he didn't have any intention of hurting them.

This kind of performance alone is enough kindness.

The only pity is that the other party doesn't seem to know the language of this area, so there is no way to communicate directly, which is a pity.

Otherwise, they can also try to communicate with each other and find out where the other person came from.

Now, it's unlikely.

"Anyway, it's good that the other party didn't mean to hurt us. ”

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Otherwise, I'm afraid we'll have to figure out how to write our tombstone." ”

"I think it's going to be worse. ”

George shrugged his shoulders and made a joke: "Do you think if we do die here, there will be a chance to be buried?"

The middle-aged man couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Yes, if they die here, let alone a tombstone, it is still a question of whether the body can be left behind.

In this dense forest, there is no shortage of all kinds of monsters that like to eat the human body.

If they die here, it won't be long before only a few bones remain.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but be a little happy.

After finishing lunch, the three middle-aged men summed up and then prepared to leave.

Before leaving, they looked at Chen Heng.

"Unknown warrior, I wonder if you're leaving this place?"

He looked at Chen Heng and cautiously asked, "If you want, we can act as your guide." ”

When these words were said, they didn't expect Chen Heng to give any response.

It's just that unexpectedly, Chen Heng nodded, as if he understood.

Of course, it doesn't.

Learning a new language is not so simple.

It's just that as a wizard, Chen Heng is very proficient in the use of spiritual power.

Spiritual communication is the best language.

Some powerful wizards can replace any language directly through their own spiritual power without even using language as a medium.

Although Chen Heng can't do this at the moment, if he uses it carefully, through side observation, and then with the help of mental induction, there is no problem in barely understanding some words.

Therefore, he guessed the meaning of the other party's words and nodded directly.

Looking at Chen Heng who nodded in front of him, the three middle-aged men looked at each other, a little puzzled, whether Chen Heng could really understand.

So, cautiously, they tried to leave the place.

In this process, they were very careful, for fear that a bad one would arouse Chen Heng's vigilance and cause the other party to attack.

Thankfully, that didn't happen.

On the spot, Chen Heng slowly got up, then picked up the little girl sitting in front of the bonfire, and then walked forward.

Following the middle-aged man in front of them, they continued to move forward and slowly left the place.

Along the road, the three middle-aged men chatted slowly.

Chen Heng remained silent, while silently turning his spiritual power around, trying to learn the language here.

With the aid of mental power, he learns an unfamiliar language very quickly, and if he has enough languages for him to refer to, it is estimated that he will be able to learn it quickly.

Three days later, they left the forest and came to a market.

The market is full of people, and everywhere seems to be lively.

Chen Heng hugged the little girl and came here.

Seeing the lively scene in the distance, the little girl's face moved, and her eyes seemed to have some luster again.

Chen Heng turned around and listened to the noise in the distance, while silently sensing.

He sensed the mental fluctuations that kept passing in the distance, gathering information about this place.

"There are no wizards..... There is no trace of mana breath either......."

He recorded the area in front of him in his heart, swept it here with his powerful spiritual power, and then this thought flashed through his heart.

There aren't many people in this market, and there are probably only a few hundred people around.

But they didn't stay there for long.

After arriving here, after a while, they continued on to another town.

"It's finally back......."

When they arrived at the town in front of them, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and finally relaxed at this time.

Compared to the previous dense forest, the town in front of me looked quite normal.

People come and go, looking very harmonious, a busy scene.

Chen Heng looked in front of him.

Not far away, there are quite a few pedestrians walking in it, all of them looking a little busy.

Their bodies are not strong, and their clothes are not gorgeous, but their mental state is not bad, and they all seem to be in good spirits, not decadent and lifeless like people in other places.

The standard of living here doesn't seem too bad.

After coming here, the three middle-aged men discussed it, and then took Chen Heng and the two to a tavern, where they found a place for Chen Heng to stay.

At this point, they did not leave, but gathered around, preparing to stay in this town for a while, and teach Chen Heng to use the language of this area.

The reason why this is so is that on the one hand, it is to repay Chen Heng's kindness for helping before, and on the other hand, it is also under the guise of another idea.

In the previous dense forest, Chen Heng's strength can be said to be obvious to all.

Along the way, they would often come across monsters and even ogres and other creatures.

In the past, if they encountered these beings, all they could do was turn around and leave, and they would never dare to stay in them.

But for Chen Heng, these things are not worth mentioning at all.

Along the road, no matter how fierce the beast was, how terrifying the ogre, he couldn't make a few moves in the face of Chen Heng.

This performance, while amazed the middle-aged men, also made them have an idea.

Chen Heng was a warrior they had never seen before.

It would be nice if Chen Heng could be included in their mercenary group.

With Chen Heng joining, even if their mercenary group only had four people, it was enough to do a lot of things.

They can even take on some dangerous missions and go directly to the dense forest to fight those dangerous monsters and hunt those monsters.

You know, although these magical beasts are dangerous, they are also quite valuable, and many of them are excellent materials that can be sold for a high price.

Under normal circumstances, they couldn't deal with these demonic beasts, but if Chen Heng joined, the situation would be different.

Judging from the strength that Chen Heng had shown before, even if it was just Chen Heng alone, he could deal with that huge demonic beast.

As long as Chen Heng can be pulled into their mercenary group, it will definitely be a lucrative deal.

It is precisely because of this that they are so attentive, and they have paid special attention to Chen Heng and the others during this time.

Chen Heng didn't know what they were thinking, but he could probably guess something.

He didn't care about this, just survived in this town and silently adapted to the new environment.

It didn't take long, just half a month, under the stunned gaze of the middle-aged men, Chen Heng had already mastered the language of this area.

In this regard, the middle-aged man was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it.

They didn't know Chen Heng in the past, they didn't know that he was exposed to this language, and they thought that Chen Heng had learned it in the past, and he had reached this level with a foundation at the moment.

Although it was fast, it didn't make them think much about it.

In half a month, Chen Heng initially learned the language of this world, but it was more than a month later that he was really proficient.

And in the past month or so, Chen Heng has also inquired about some news around.

The result made him frown.

At this moment, he seemed to have come to a very strange place.

It was a new continent surrounded by many kingdoms, each of which had a sizeable size.

Obviously, this can't be where Chen Heng was before.

Chen Heng remembered it very clearly.

He had been floating on the sea, with only a small island in front of him.

The size of the island was considerable, but it was unlikely to be as large as it was in front of it in any respect.

So, it was the storm that caused him to come to an unknown place?

But that doesn't make sense.

If it was really caused by that storm, then it would be impossible to take Chen Heng to a place that was too far away.

It's impossible to come to this place in front of you.

"Did I cross over, or did I ......."

In place, thinking back to the news from the inquiry, Chen Heng couldn't help frowning.

Through?

This may be true, but it's very small.

Chen Heng was able to descend into this wizarding world through a simulator, and the possibility of crossing again is very small.
