Chapter 428 [Cannot be avoided](1/2)
Chapter 428 [Inevitable]
Han Ye's words made the little good mood and superiority that Lanlan and Tacitus had just grown up, and immediately disappeared!
The two looked at each other and saw a deep fear and strong vigilance in each other's eyes.
Of course, Tacitus had a little more self-blame!
What exactly is the reason that makes me so careless?
Is it because there is a super expert like Han Ye as his company along the way?
Because I have been safe these days?
Because after being accepted into this valley last night, I finally enjoyed that long-lost sense of comfort?
Or did I gradually become proud and frivolous when I saw those orcs dressed in rags like beggars and their contempt for these alien races?
Han Ye's words became even more rude. She said slowly in a low tone: "I don't know what kind of world it is in the place you came from - your hometown. But here is not as peaceful as you seem. At least... for outsiders like you, this is not a paradise."
Lanlan and Tacitus returned to their residence and were in a bad mood.
The two who calmed down carefully recalled the scene in the stone house where they met before - some details that were ignored because of their pride were soon recalled after calming down and recalling them.
Thinking about it now, the scene at that time was really dangerous!
The orc leader did indeed keep looking at Han Ye with his eyes when he was talking.
Moreover, I remember that there were a few orc warriors in the room, quietly standing at several key positions around: at the door, beside the table, and behind me!
It can be said that if Han Ye had not been protected by Han Ye, if the orc had suddenly turned against each other, even with Tacitus's ability, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed!
It is difficult to use it in such a narrow room, and there is no doubt about the strength of the orcs.
Damn it! They are orcs! They are harmless good babies who love each other!
After suffering this blow, Tacitus and Lanlan never dared to relax at all.
I originally planned to rest for a while in this valley, but because of the episode of this incident, the two of them only took an extra night to rest here after discussing it.
On the morning of the third day, the Human Adventures decided to leave the valley and continue their journey.
When saying goodbye to the natives in the valley, the dwarves had no pavement.
The orc leader seemed to be very enthusiastic and friendly.
But when they said goodbye to the humans, these orcs clearly showed a very regretful expression.
regret?
The expression of this expression made Tacitus very nervous for a while, and his hands subconsciously placed the closest position to the hilt of the sword.
Han Ye's attitude was still very calm. She and the elves were greeted and said goodbye to the elves, and they were the first to jump on the boat leaf floating by the river.
When most of the unknown humans in the team boarded the boat leaves, more than twenty boat leaves slowly drifted out of the valley along the Sulunbi River and came back to the open area...
Han Ye, who was standing at the bow of the boat, turned around and looked at the long-legged human girl standing behind him, wanting to speak but stopping.
"You are still wise." Although Han Ye's tone was still a little ridiculous, it seemed that it was much easier this time.
She continued slowly: "It is a clever way to leave this valley early. Because... the wealth you showed is so tempting. It is like putting a large piece of fragrant fat among a group of wild beasts that are about to die of starvation.
Even if I am in charge, it is difficult for me to ensure that their greed breaks through their reason. What will happen? Leaving early will be good for everyone."
Lan Lan's body shivered and forced a smile, "How could it be... After all, you are by our side. Those guys never dare to face you..."
"But I can't stand by you day and night." Han Ye shook his head: "If they suddenly launch an attack and kill you before I come back... Then even if I know about it later, what? I can't kill them all to avenge you humans."
Lan Lan stopped talking.
She knew very well that Han Ye was talking about the facts.
Although everyone is a companion, it is just a chance meeting after all. Han Ye is willing to provide help to her and these people, that is the kindness and simplicity of the elves. But if the orcs really kill some humans, Han Ye is the native of this place after all, and she has no reason to seek revenge on her old neighbors for some chance meeting.
"Actually, I have always wanted to remind you... Maybe the way you show seems a bit too silly in this continent." Han Ye reminded him in a vague way.
...
The elves' reminder was executed soon.
After experiencing the dangers of those who were in that valley during the experience, Lanlan and Tacitus discussed for a long time and reacted.
In terms of the personnel and wear of this adventure team, it is too ostentatious in this abandoned continent that is so barren that its neighbors are exposed to.
The clothes, fabrics, accessories, protective gear, armor, weapons and equipment they wore were so bright that they could blind people’s eyes compared to the local natives!
In such a strange and dangerous place, moving forward so high-profilely is simply causing trouble for yourself.
After discussion, the two leaders quickly adjusted the team.
As the strongest armed force in the team, the original Sacred Knight will not make much changes for the time being.
However, all the crew members, sailors and others temporarily confiscated all their weapons and concentrated them in the storage ring as reserve.
It is actually a waste to have a group of crew sailors who don’t have much combat effectiveness holding excellent metal weapons.
According to Han Ye's introduction, there are many places on this continent similar to the valley settlement that I just left, and pure metal weapons are of good quality and good quality... For example, those sailors and crew use them, even in the settlement, only the leader-level equipment can be used.
Letting a large group of sailor crew members with no martial arts skills show off all the way with all metal weapons and equipment, it is like letting a three-year-old child walk on the street with a huge sum of money.
The church personnel, except for the magician, confiscated their weapons and equipment. The magician kept the wand, but also tried to hide the gems inlaid on the wand - such as applying a layer of mud.
This move was actually a blow to Tacitus.
Because before landing, it was Tacitus who ordered everyone to take out the best and latest clothes, put on the best armor, and take out the most elf weapons - the purpose was to show the Roland style to the "human civilization" on this continent.
result……
...
Continue north along this "River of Hope".
Along the way, nearly a month passed.
During this period, I passed by two more settlements.
Of course, neither of these two settlements is as large as the previous valley.
After all, it is extremely rare and rare to have a unique terrain like that valley.
The two settlements passed by were small villages built along the Sulunbi River, and the population was not too large. They only had three or five hundred people.
Through Han Ye's mouth, Lanlan and Tacitus learned more information.
More than a hundred years ago, most of the alien races on this continent migrated toward the Roland Continent, and went to compete with the Roland people for land.
The very few foreign races who stayed refused to leave to join the war, and were willing to stay here and continue to struggle to survive. Those who stayed think that even if life here is difficult, it is always better to go over and fight.
Moreover, the ancestors have lived here for ten thousand years, and for these people, they have long forgotten that their ancestors’ home is in another continent.
For them, this is home.
"The number of people who stayed there at that time was not large." Han Ye told Lanlan: "The total population of several races was less than 10,000. Over the past hundred years, the population may have increased a little. But it will not exceed 20,000... The orcs have stronger fertility, and after most tribes migrated, the population left behind has been smaller. On average, each person can get more resources, and their lives are much better than before. Therefore, the population of orcs has the fastest growth. But dwarves and elves, especially elves, have not had a high fertility, so there is almost no big increase."
However, Lan Lan also said that among the races left behind, the largest number was the elves.
Perhaps because the elves like comfort in nature and hate war, many elves do not choose to follow Luo Xue on the "road of return."
After passing through the two settlements, Lanlan and Tacitus were no longer as relaxed as before, and they were fully energetic and did not make any mistakes.
After being able to restrain itself, and after so many days of trek along the way, humans looked like they were dressed in tatters, and their originally beautiful new clothes were covered with mud and damaged everywhere.
This undoubtedly reduces the "attractiveness".
In addition, with Han Ye, a mysterious elf, as a companion, the settlements along the way were all calmly received, and then they stopped for a short time and continued on the road.
Finally, on this day, a very big turn suddenly appeared in the river channel in front of the Sulunbi River...
Han Ye told Lanlan and Tacitus: It’s time to go ashore!
The elves clearly informed the humans: the protection of the Sullumbi River to them is over.
The next path forward is contrary to the safety line of this river of hope."
"We will go east for a few days, and then we will arrive at the Elf Tribe where I am, which is a forest. It is also the largest forest on this continent. Because there are powerful Elf Tribes there, it is also the safest place on this continent. But before we get there, this journey will be the final test."
Han Ye's eyes were very serious. She looked at Lan Lan with deep eyes, and then looked at Tacitus again.
Finally, the elf whispered a little ugly when she made Lan Lan's face look a little ugly.
"Although it will be very... but I must tell you the truth! The next journey will be very dangerous, and... because your team has a large number of people, when passing through this dangerous area... it is difficult for me to take into account the safety of all of you alone. So... I must tell you clearly: Not everyone in your team can reach the destination alive. On this journey, whether you are willing or not... there will be a reduction in staff. I am sorry to tell you this bad news... But with my ability alone, I cannot guarantee the safety of all of you. All you have to do is to ensure the closeness of the team, don't walk around, and try to lean against me as much as possible... and some distances are very difficult to walk, and the terrain and environment are also very bad."
These words made Lanlan and Tacitus feel cold!
...
After the team got ashore, they had the final rest. Before leaving the scope of this "River of Hope", everyone stayed by the river for a night, had a good rest, and had a good night's sleep to replenish their energy.
This is the last protection of the Sullumbe River for everyone.
Early the next morning after getting ashore, the team embarked on this dangerous journey.
Han Ye didn't lie!
On the third day of getting ashore and walking again... the attrition occurred.
To be continued...
