Chapter 33 The third day

The moment he climbed to the top of the hills, Pennis understood what Catherine had mentioned before.

Below is the endless Reale Plain. The cold seasons have allowed the plants on the wilderness to enter a withering period. Only endless yellow can be seen on the plain. At the end of the sky in the distance, the Bayergas River, the largest river in Yara, passes diagonally, and divides the Reale Plain into two halves. Although in winter, the turbulent Bayergas River has not entered the freezing period. The endless flowing river water is wrapped with a large number of ice, constantly colliding and making a shattering sound, which is still clearly audible even in the thunderous flow. The rushing water is filled with mist in the sky, and the white mist is like smoke and fog, covering both sides of the river bank, looking like a world in a fairy tale.

"Why is this mist so big?" Penis asked strangely: "It is said that this does not happen in other sections of the Bayergas River."

"No one has figured it out yet," said Vivian: "Many scholars have studied the reasons and put forward many assumptions of reasons, but in the end no one can prove that they are right. Perhaps, this is the miracle of creation of Lord Yara."

"Are we going to cross the river?" asked Panis. "I think this kind of weather is a torture to enter the river range."

"Haha, no need." Aerland chased after him: "Look at that road, that is the main road heading to the direction of Free City. There is still a long distance to turn southeast and turn parallel to the Bayergas River."

"Southeast?" Panis turned his head and looked away: "There should be Mount Kaos, 80 kilometers away. I rarely moved in the Capital of Knowledge before, and the terrain of this generation is very unfamiliar."

"It's Mount Caos. The main road will pass directly through one of the canyons. It will pass through the entire Mount Caos." Catherine explained: "Okay, it's time for everyone to see enough. Let's go. As planned, you need to go through the Canos Canyon tonight. It's time to make up for the roads you took yesterday."

Penis subconsciously looked up at the sky. The weather was clear and no animals flew past it: "It seems that today will be smoother, at least there are no signs of the enemy yet."

"I'm skeptical and it's hard to believe that they will be so kind and give us more opportunities to rest." Catherine waved her hand: "Let's go. Keep going."

The coachmen shouted loudly, and led by the luxury carriage, the convoy started to start again and slowly advanced on the long main road.

It is actually a very unpleasant thing to rush on an empty plain, and you can only see a wilderness around you. All the scenery remains unchanged. Even if you walk for a few hours and move forward for dozens of kilometers, it still feels like you are standing still. The reference object is still in the distant horizon, and the surroundings are still as empty as ever.

Because of this, rushing on the plain often requires some distractions, otherwise novices will easily become frustrated by the frustration of standing still and then lose their fighting spirit. As for veterans, they don’t need to worry. Any experienced plain traveler will have their own usual way to relieve mental stress and will not be affected.

"It seems that it's very close to Kaos Mountain." A city guard cheered: "It's already clear."

"Yeah, it's very close." Aerland raised his eyelids and glanced at it, and said calmly: "It's about thirty kilometers. At this speed, walk for another three hours and you can reach the Kaos Canyon before dusk."

"Three.Three hours? How is it possible?" A group of members shouted in surprise: "It seems that it is very close, and it will take so long?"

"It's a pity." Katherine looked at the group of young people as if she had seen herself walking this road for the first time: "Eyes can sometimes deceive people, especially in the open areas on the plains. So, let's continue your game."

That's right. It's a game, a traditional game where newbies are rushing on the plains - story meeting. Except for scouts who have set out to explore the way, the rest of the team members gather together and take turns shooting arrows at fixed targets. The first one who didn't hit the target needs to tell an interesting story that they had experienced personally, and continue to cycle backwards after the talk is finished. This kind of game can kill time, distract energy, and enhance the understanding and feelings between these novices. Therefore, it has always been regarded as a traditional long-term application of the City Guard, and the effect has always been very good.

Of course, the effect this time was also very good. The whole day, nearly ten hours, and the journey of more than 80 kilometers seemed to have passed in the feeling of the team members. Especially in the later stage, everyone's story was almost told, and everyone was concentrating on the content of the next story, without even considering the issue of time.

The sound of horse hooves came again, and a scout team returned again. But this time, they did not make any normal gestures, but ran directly to Airland, lowered their voices and said a few words. Airland immediately frowned, nodded to the two scouts, and stopped the next round of scouts and rushed to the four members of the adventure group.

"Are you in trouble?" Catherine sighed and asked the question in a sure tone.

"Yeah, there's something wrong," Aerran said with a wry smile: "And I don't even know if it was those people the previous two times."

"What does it mean?" Catherine asked, "What's the difference this time?"

"This time it seems like a bandit." Aerland said: "They just saw a lot of people from afar, just at the end of the Kaos Canyon in front. There should be quite a lot of people, at least one hundred people."

"Where is the strength?" Catherine asked subconsciously, and immediately smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Forget it, they may be difficult to see, Panis, please trouble you."

"Pennis..." Aerlan was about to say that it would be safer to go by himself, but he didn't expect that when he turned around, he found that there was no one in Pannis immediately.

"Captain, don't worry, Pannis must be fine." Catherine looked at Aerland in surprise and looked for Pannis's traces, and said with a smile: "And you don't have to look for it anymore. If Pannis wants to hide, I guess everyone here will not be able to find him together, so I'll just wait patiently for a while."

"Hey, strange." After waiting for less than two minutes, Catherine suddenly felt a strange feeling, staring at the mountain in front of her and said, "It feels very strange."

"What's wrong, sister?" Vivian asked, "Have you discovered anything?"

"No." Catherine hesitated and shook her head, "It seems that there is a very strange feeling coming from that direction, a very strange and very special feeling. But it will disappear soon, it must be an illusion."

"Over there? I can't feel anything, Lina, you?" Vivian did not despise Catherine's illusion and asked all the golden-level pros, but none of them had the same feeling, so in the end it could only be attributed to an illusion.

"Wow, I'm back." In less than ten minutes, Panis had already walked back with a dead grass in his mouth and said, "We are very valued."

"What's the discovery?" Catherine asked immediately, "Is it a bandit?"

"It's a bandit, and the five nearby thieves were dispatched together, with more than 200 people. Wow, should they praise their huge lineup?" Panis said: "Someone secretly hired these five thieves to attack the wedding team and strictly ordered them not to hurt people. And I eavesdropped on their conversation, as if the bandits were afraid of the hirer and were ready to obey orders absolutely. How about it, what associations do you have?"

"It seems certain that they are those old friends again." Catherine sighed: "Where are their strength?"

"It's similar to the City Guard, but there's no Golden Level Leader." Panis said: "The highest strength is the eight Silver Level Seniors, and the rest are all professionals, with ordinary overall strength. I have to say that the bandits in the neutral place are very unqualified. On average, there are only more than 40 people in a team, and they dare to call themselves the thieves group? It's so unprofessional."

"Don't make trouble." Catherine rolled her eyes: "I've found out what specific situations I'll tell you in detail."

"The terrain in front is a valley with two peaks sandwiched between the valley. The valley is about 1,500 meters long, with a base of more than 50 meters wide, and the slopes on both sides are very steep and fast. One hundred and seventy-four people were ambushing at the end of the valley, or thought they were ambushing themselves, and more than fifty people were ambushing in caves on the slopes on both sides of the valley. I doubt if they would throw themselves to death if they rushed down to attack."

"Is there anything else?" Catherine asked.

"It's basically all, for example, they feel that the robbery route is about to starve to death, or for example, they want to drink bone soup at night but the person in charge of hunting has not received goods today, I guess you don't want to know either." Panis scratched his head lazily and said, "So these are the only things that are useful. OK, my task has been completed, continue to be lazy, no, continue to accumulate energy to meet the more serious situations that may occur."

"Then have you been there?" Vivian pointed to the strange direction Catherine felt just now and said, "It should be in the mountains."

"Have you been there? What's wrong?" Panis was stunned: "Did you see me sticking out my tongue at you from there?"

"Be serious, talk about serious business." Vivian said with a flat mouth: "My sister said a few minutes ago that she felt a strange feeling from there. Have you discovered something?"

"Feeling?" Panis repeated Vivian's question, feeling unknown in his heart, but he shook his head and said, "I don't know, I found nothing."

"It's okay, it's probably an illusion." Catherine waved her hand indifferently: "However, since the other party's new challenge has come, let's follow the plan we set before."
