Chapter 2478 Landform Changes (two chapters in one)
"I didn't expect to meet you here." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead showed a smile on his face and said to the guards in front of him with a smile.
"Yeah, we didn't expect to meet you here. It's really fate." Several guards said.
"Aren't you leaving? Why are you back?" The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead asked in confusion.
He had contact with these people before and learned about it from their mouths.
Due to an attack by alien beasts, the city gates of Zecheng were closed, and the caravan had to leave for other cities.
Logically speaking, after so many days, the huge caravan should have gone far away.
The pig-headed man captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, now assessed the speed of the convoy and concluded that these people should not be here.
Several guards explained, "We originally planned to go to the next city, but something happened on the way to the next city. We couldn't go there, so we had to turn back..."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead listened to the other party's explanation and learned that the previous heavy rainstorm had a wider impact than he thought, especially some trade routes.
Over the years, routes to various cities have gradually become fixed.
It is also possible to develop new routes, but that will cost a lot.
Many people follow the old routes to various cities. Now due to heavy rains, some routes have been affected. They are inundated by swamps or hit by landslides, making it impossible to pass.
The huge convoy was blocked and unable to go to the next city, so it had to turn back.
Of course, before turning back, you must send a vanguard to investigate and make sure the city gate is open before turning back. Otherwise, it is better to set up camp in some safer places.
"Where are you going, my benefactor?" one of the guards asked.
"I have something to do." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead did not say what he was going to do.
The guards were very sensible and did not continue to ask questions.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, chatted with a few guards and talked about recent events in the city, reminding them to be careful.
After bidding farewell to these guards, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead continued to move towards his destination.
The guard returned to his employer and immediately told him the new information he had just obtained.
After confirming that the inspections in the city were less stringent than before, the convoy no longer hesitated and continued to move towards the city ahead.
The majestic city wall was getting closer and closer to the convoy, and the huge caravan entered the city. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
I have been living in the open air for the past few days, and my life has been very bad.
Now that you enter the city, not only do you not have to worry about attacks by strange beasts, but there are also many delicious foods to treat your stomach. Everyone's face is beaming with joy.
There is a special place for caravans in the city.
When everyone was settled, the guard, who had met the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead several times, separated from his companions and went to the nearby flower house to enjoy themselves.
…………
"twitter……"
Some of the surrounding trees sounded the crisp sound of birdsong, and when you heard the sound, you could see several birds standing on the branches and jumping happily.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the birds in the trees in the distance, thinking that after this period of recovery, there were more and more creatures in the surrounding area.
Some time ago, alien beasts attacked Zecheng, and all the creatures in the surrounding area fled.
At that time, the pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, went out several times. The road was very quiet and he could not hear any birdsong.
Nowadays, you can hear the cheerful chirping of birds on the way to your destination, which makes the journey less boring.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead climbed over a mountain. When he came down from the mountain, he found that the road in front of him was gone.
"I've walked here before. There's obviously a pretty wide road, but why is it missing?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead frowned as he related the landscape in front of him to the memory in his mind.
"A big chunk collapsed there."
"Is it a landslide?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked to the right and found that the original mountain was more than half smaller.
According to some traces at the scene, it is speculated that the changes in the landform in front of us are most likely caused by landslides.
It is very simple for countless tons of soil to slide down from the mountain and cover the road in front of you.
"What should I do now?"
"Without this road, it would be very difficult to reach the destination."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stopped to think. After a moment, he did not give up the idea of completing the mission.
He was just a little short of the funds needed to buy a defensive weapon, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead didn't want to waste time on the mission.
With a bang, the bent-over pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead kicked the ground with his right foot. A crater appeared on the ground, and then his whole body was shot out like a cannonball.
After landing, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead kicked the ground hard again, repeated this action several times, and crossed the landslide area in front of him at an extremely fast speed.
"call……"
After spending a lot of effort, we finally arrived at a place with relatively flat terrain.
After landing, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead panted and looked ahead.
The road that had disappeared due to landslides finally appeared again.
Next, the pig-headed captain son with a brown birthmark on his forehead has to walk to the road and head to the destination step by step.
As he hurried on, he took out a water bottle from his backpack and drank water.
As we walked, the several kilometers of road were quickly completed. The sun in the sky was radiating more and more fiercely, and we were sweating profusely.
There was a stream in front of him, and the pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, planned to go to the stream to wash his face, and then find a shady place to rest.
Based on experience, more and more animals are coming back now, and the number of exotic beasts is also increasing.
If you go out on a mission alone and encounter strange beasts if you don't have enough physical strength, the situation may be very bad.
Although with the strength of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, ordinary strange beasts are no match for him, but instead of being afraid of ten thousand, just in case, it is better to be safe.
After making up your mind, you should concentrate on resting and recuperate your strength.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead quickly approached the stream in the distance. The clear stream water was sparkling under the sunlight, making it difficult to look directly.
When I came to the creek, I found that there were many fish in the creek.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, knew that there was no creek here because he had been to this place before.
You don't need to think about it to know that because of the heavy rain some time ago, the rainwater flowing down from the mountains gathered together to form the current creek.
As for where the fish in the creek came from, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead didn't know.
With a few splashes, several fish in the stream jumped out of the water, making small splashes.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead found that the fish in this creek were quite big. If it hadn't been for lunch yet, he would have really wanted to catch a few fish and grill them.
After observing the situation in the creek, the pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, returned to sit on the ground under a tree by the creek, and began to close his eyes and rest, recovering his exhausted energy.
"Da, da, da..."
Suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves in the distance. When the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead heard the sound, he opened his eyes and looked into the distance.
As far as the eye can see, several people can be seen galloping on horses.
The clothes of these people are relatively simple and they should not be from rich families.
Not long after, several people on horseback came to the creek. They stopped and then went to the creek to drink some water.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at these people with no intention of saying hello to each other.
At this time, one of them came up and said to the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, "Friend, can I ask you something?"
"What's the matter?" The pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead saw the other party taking the initiative to ask questions, so he responded.
"I heard that if you go along this road for a while, the road will be cut off and you can't continue going forward. Is this true?"
"Yes, there was a landslide ahead, and a large section of the road was buried in mud."
The person asking for directions nodded, thanked the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, and then quickly returned to his companions.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at these people and saw that they discussed with each other and then found a flat place to sit down and rest.
"They want to continue walking along this road. When they reach the point where there is no road, they have no choice but to abandon their mounts."
Both parties got along well, and after resting for a while, their energy was restored.
At this time, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead packed his things and set off again.
Now it is not very far from the destination, and it will take another hour to arrive.
The man who asked for directions earlier looked at the departing pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead and said to his companions, "This man is not simple."
"Yes! If you go out alone without any strength, you may have died on the road long ago."
"Do you think what he just said is true?"
"There's nothing to lie about."
"Then when we reach the end of the road, we will have to go on foot."
"The only thing we can do is find another way to Zecheng. There is no way to get there before dark today."
After the pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead left, the horsemen chatted for a while and then got up and left.
They rode forward on horseback and soon reached the place where the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said there was no road.
The road conditions in a large area ahead were very bad, making it impossible for horses to pass.
These people got off the horse as agreed upon at the beginning and began to enter the area where the landscape had undergone tremendous changes.
…………
In a quiet valley, there is a figure picking herbs.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came to this place and immediately collected the herbs his employer needed and put them in his backpack.
After working for nearly two hours, I finally collected the amount of herbs needed for the task.
At this time, I was also hungry, so I had lunch and then headed back.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead carried a backpack, found a shady place to sit down, and then took out the pastries and kettle that had been prepared long ago from the backpack.
Simply eat something to fill your stomach and your hunger will disappear.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, rested for a while, then started to pick up his backpack and start the return journey.
I went out today to do a mission in this place. Except for some troubles encountered in an area covered by mudslides along the way, everything else went smoothly.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was generally satisfied with the process of going out to do the mission today. He would do a few more similar missions to collect the money to buy the spiritual weapon.
I returned the same way and walked most of the way without encountering any attacks from strange animals.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stopped, and at this time he once again came to the area covered by the mudslide.
Previously, he passed through the area in front of him at a very fast speed, which expended a lot of energy and made him very tired at the time.
The pig-headed captain, who now had a brown birthmark on his forehead, looked up at the sun in the sky. It was still early, so there was no need to rush through the area in front of him like before.
Make up your mind and start setting off immediately.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead kicked off his right foot, rose up from the ground, crossed more than twenty meters, and landed on a relatively flat place.
The landform of this area covered by mudslides is very complex, with bottomless potholes in many places.
If you accidentally fall into a pothole, you will be slightly injured on the spot and will have to spend a lot of time climbing out of the pothole.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, moved forward at a slower pace, trying to avoid dangerous potholes as much as possible.
According to his current traveling speed, it should take him an hour to leave this dangerous area.
But as I thought before, I have plenty of time now, so there is no need to rush.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead advanced for more than ten minutes when he suddenly saw something lying on the ground in the distance.
"It looks familiar."
"Someone was killed?"
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, suddenly turned serious. Then he looked around vigilantly and expanded his senses to investigate.
He searched the surroundings as carefully as possible. After a few minutes, he did not find any enemies ambush around him.
