Chapter 29: Meeting Charlie Again

This is a title, and it is also a horrifying legend. It is said that no one knows what the wanderer is, because once it is discovered, it will basically be taken away by it, without exception.

Even the government and the sheriff here dare not provoke this thing.

There are too many mysterious rumors about the wanderers in Devon. From Charlie and a few others, Tang An actually heard more than a dozen versions of the stories, each of which was extremely terrifying.

Tang An renewed his understanding of the plot world of No. 16 in his heart.

Because of the appearance of Devon Wanderers, Tang An was shaken again about whether he wanted to leave the team and act alone.

But soon, Tang An knew that it was safer to leave. Devon Wanderers were indeed terrifying, but as long as you were careful, you could avoid it. However, the threat from Bald Charlie was obviously more direct. For his own life, he should still leave.

Tang An cheered himself up.

There was still some time before dawn. Then Tang An was on the night. When everyone else fell asleep, Tang An got up and pretended to mutter to go out to urinate, and then walked to the distance.

But I didn't come back this time.

It was almost dawn and Bald Charlie and the others woke up and found that Tang An had run away.

Of course, the bald Charlie was furious and cursed loudly, but Tang An couldn't hear these. After Tang An left, he quickly accelerated and continued to rush according to the guides of the map and the compass pointer.

Of course, when leaving, Tang An brought himself some food and water, enough to support him for a day or two.

In fact, they had already entered the Devon range, and Tang An believed that he could reach his destination in a few days at most.

Three days later.

In the hinterland of Devon, within a valley, Tang An was repairing a small town. This town, or a village, is indeed quite sparsely populated.

With all the plans, Tang An looked at it and saw hundreds of houses scattered in this open space, surrounded by fertile fields and planted with various crops.

The scarecrow standing in the farmland looks a bit weird and terrifying in the afterglow of the sunset.

Tang An used the silver coins in his hand to buy some food. Unfortunately, there was no ammunition from the flintlock rifle in this small place, so he could not get any supplements. However, Tang An had two daggers. He encountered some dangers along the way, and relied on this dagger to solve the crisis.

Here, Tang An first bought a hand-drawn map.

"The Jilin Village is a twenty-mile area around me, and it is definitely accurate, only 20 copper plates are needed." The person selling the map swears to ensure the accuracy of the map.

Tang An asked the other party to say it slowly and carefully, and finally understood the general meaning.

As a result, Tang An spent 20 copper coins to buy it, and after obtaining it, the map was directly deposited into Tang An's system map.

In this way, you need to really take this map in the future and you can explore it.

Afterwards, Tang An discovered that his 20 copper coins were actually spent in vain because the map was not drawn by that person at all, but bought it from someone else for 5 copper coins.

However, Tang An didn't pursue it anymore. He planned to repair it in this village and then continue moving forward. Judging from the compass pointer, he should be very close to his destination.

Since he lived here, Tang An also inquired about the situation in Jilin Village and the surrounding areas.

After understanding, Tang An knew that this was once a very important city in the ancient "Eracia", and it was not far away on the mountain, and there was also the ancient monument of "Sdavik City" back then.

In addition, there is a "black thorn forest" around here. However, when it comes to this place, the people in the village are very taboo. The forest is very dense. It is said that there is something terrible inside. No one goes there on weekdays. Moreover, because it is behind the mountains, it is a dark place all year round and there is less sunshine.

If you continue to walk west or north, you will have to cross the mountains, and there will be a long journey of wilderness and mountains there.

Hearing this, Tang An had roughly figured it out.

As expected, the final task node pointed to by the pointer should be compared from the map to the former "Sdavik City".

It will take several days to go to the historic site of "Sdavik City" from here. Tang An calculated that his mission time limit is still more than ten days, which is definitely enough.

However, to go to such a place that is rarely visited, Tang An still needs to make some preparations, and at this time he feels that the silver coins in his hand are not enough.

Originally, Tang An wanted to save these silver coins back to spend in the system store. Now it seems that after the task is over, there are only a few copper coins left.

But the task is important.

The mountain is different from the one below, and it is slightly cold. Tang An needs to buy a piece of clothing to protect the cold. In addition, food also needs to be prepared. If you want to drink water, buy a water bag and fill it with free of charge from the well in the middle of the village.

Just for clothes, you have to spend a silver coin, which is sewn with a mixture of fabric and animal skin. In addition to keeping warm, it also has a certain defense ability.

Everything is ready, Tang An plans to set off early tomorrow morning.

But what Tang An didn't expect was that before the sun set in the afternoon, he actually saw the bald Charlie and his group rushed over.

Bald Charlie had a gloomy face and was a little unhappy.

Tang An hid and observed from a distance. He could see that the other party seemed to be anxious about something. He just took a break in the central square of the village and continued on his way.

Looking at the direction, we are heading towards the "Black Thorn Forest" that the locals call a dangerous place.

At this time, Tang An couldn't help but feel curiosity.

If you are not a local, you don’t know how dangerous the Black Thorn Forest is. Since Charlie, the bald man often comes, it is impossible not to know that he will rush to go immediately after he comes for a short rest. Could he be afraid that the people he hired to ask?

This is just Tang An's guess.

Because of the preconceived concept, Tang An has already labeled a "bad guy" on the bald Charlie. Logically, Tang An doesn't have to worry about it at all, just focus on his tasks.

But sometimes people are like this. Tang An feels that he has plenty of time, so why don’t he follow him to see the situation? After all, he is following in the dark, and no one knows that even if there is danger, he will run away immediately as long as he finds something wrong.

As soon as this thought comes, I can't hold back.

If it were someone else, they might feel that there was a high risk and high return, and they would go blindly confidently, but Tang An gritted his teeth and decided not to go. He knew the reason for curiosity to kill cats. Sometimes it would be better if there was no problem, but once there was a problem, it would be too late to regret it.

Therefore, it is better to follow the plan and don’t care about other people’s affairs. Start tomorrow and focus on your own tasks.

That night, Tang An stayed in a hotel in the village and spent 30 copper coins. If it weren't for the previous 3 silver coins, Tang An might have to sleep on the streets.

Tang An was anxious to pee in the middle of the night. He wore his clothes and came out with a dagger. The convenient place in the village was a "toilet" built on the grass not far away. It was actually a small wooden house with toilets inside. It was very unhygienic and smelled sour. But there was no way, so I could only be here.

As a result, it was halfway through, and Tang An heard hurried footsteps passing outside.

This attracted Tang An's attention. He looked out through the gaps in the wooden board and saw the bald Charlie and his two followers running over in a panic.

It was like something was chasing them.
