The hospitable mountain people also specially prepared a lot of dry food special to the village for them when they bid farewell to everyone. Although the large backpack on Y's back made people believe that Hao Ren and his party would not be short of supplies on the road, the mountain people said that this was
It was the custom of their clan to see off their friends, so Hao Ren gratefully accepted these things.
This warm reception should be thanks to Betsy's good connections. It is hard to see that this mercenary girl has established such a high popularity among these foreigners, and Betsy's explanation for this is very simple: "The mountain people are very popular."
It is an easy-to-understand nation that repays kindness with kindness and repays hatred with hatred. I happen to have a similar personality, so after helping them a few times, we easily became friends."
Unexpectedly, this mercenary girl who seemed to be obsessed with money actually had such a simple and clean side in her heart.
After the group left the small border village, they did not delay their journey any longer, and spent the next few days traveling at full speed.
It is very hard to drive day and night on the vast grassland, but the magnificent and exotic scenery along the way somewhat diverts the attention of the group, so it is not too hard. It is not easy to gallop in such a vast place.
The novel feeling made even Vivian and Nangong Wuyue, who had traveled all over the world, seem to be in high spirits along the way, not to mention Lily: she simply loved this unrestrained outdoor environment, spending half of her time every day
Riding a horse, spending half the time running with Yitzhaks behind the team, and occasionally carrying his own horse for a while, the traveling life is particularly colorful...
Hao Ren felt that if he didn't find a populated place, Lily would soon degenerate back to the state before becoming a spirit: Now she jumped off the horse nervously and was landing on all fours... with her own
Horse racing.
It's simply unbearable to look at.
"You guys are quite interesting," Betsy turned to look at Yzaks, who was running with his head down at the end of the team. There was also the four-legged werewolf girl racing with her mount. She felt that she could see this in her life.
Rare things have happened in the past few days, "I ask again, are you sure you all study magic?"
"Isn't that true?" Hao Ren repeated this question many times, and now he has basically reached the level of talking nonsense in person without changing his expression. He starts talking nonsense. "Lily just took the wrong medicine when she was doing the alchemy experiment..."
"Didn't you say last time that she was struck like this by lightning during a magic experiment?"
"Oh, I was struck by lightning while taking medicine, and my head was caught in the door by the way."
Vivian sighed and communicated with Nangong Wuyue next to her: "I suddenly don't want to bully the big dog anymore. Treat her well in the future."
Lily had no idea what these heartless guys were talking about behind her back. She happily laughed for a while, then suddenly rushed to Hao Ren's side, and then ran with unusual agility regardless of the horse running.
Get on the horse and grab Hao Ren's shoulders from behind and shake him hard: "Landlord, landlord! We are almost at the foot of the mountain!"
People yelled this like crazy. Lily jumped back to the ground in a few seconds, ran two steps to catch up with her horse and put herself on the horse's back again. Her movements were so smooth that if outsiders saw the whole process, it would probably scare them.
It's funny, but this girl can play as smoothly as walking on the ground: no matter how weird her personality is or how magical her bloodline is, Lily's sincerity cannot be shaken as she is the best in physical skills in Hao Ren's five-person team. After all, even if Iza
Even strong men like Kes can be crushed by their extraordinary strength. The real technical fighting master still has to look to Lily.
It's a pity that this girl never used her talents in the right place.
Hao Ren was almost thrown off his horse by Lily. After finally regaining his balance, he raised his head and saw that the mountain range in the distance was now close at hand: this mountain range had appeared on the horizon a long time ago. But
As the saying goes, "Looking up the mountain is like running to death." The group of people had to rush for several hours before they reached the foot of the mountain.
This mountain range is the famous "Dragon's Back Mountain Range" in the west of the Kingdom of Horleta. It is named after its continuous, evenly spaced, sharply undulating mountains that look like spines throughout more than half of the mountain range.
The western interior of Erleta Kingdom extends to the depths of the prairie, and is a barrier that Hao Ren and the others cannot avoid when heading to Beinz Blood Lake.
Because the other side of the mountain range is the sacred Beinz Blood Lake, the Horleta people spent a lot of manpower and material resources to dig large tunnels or mountain roads everywhere in order to cross this mountain range. In some key places, they even used expensive tunnels.
The permanent teleportation array is used to connect (mainly the "sacred buildings" such as cathedrals on both sides of the mountains. The church and the royal family must ensure smooth communication between themselves and the holy land no matter how high the cost). Hao Ren's original plan was to
The mountain range turned south, taking a zigzag line from the kingdom's interior, and finally passing through a newer mountain tunnel. However, in order to find clues about the "woman from another world" who acted two days earlier than them, everyone went to the mountainous area.
The village temporarily decided to cross this barrier directly from the ancient mountain road near the grassland border.
Comparing the two routes, the latter seems to have a shorter straight-line distance, but in fact it takes almost the same time: although the mountain tunnel requires a detour to the kingdom, it is relatively easy to walk, and the mountain ancient road is direct,
However, due to the rugged road and the complicated conditions in the mountains, it is not really a shortcut. Of course, for experienced mercenaries with various special skills, there is no difference between the two roads.
Betsy is a second-level mercenary. Although she is quite young, she must have real ability if she can pass many tests to obtain the rating she has today. Before the blockade level of Beinz Blood Lake was raised due to the orb incident, she worked many times.
It was the first time I had climbed this mountain range (mainly to make extra money), so this time I took the lead as a guide. Betsy led everyone into an inconspicuous mountain col at the foot of the mountain that was easily missed by rookies, and found the
An ancient mountain road that slopes upward.
"Be careful here," everyone dismounted and walked, with Betsy leading the horse at the front. "This area is said to be one of the relics of ancient civilization. There are some strange monsters in the mountains that are difficult to explain, although they are not difficult to deal with...
...But it will be troublesome to get entangled, and the road conditions are not suitable for fighting."
"Speaking of which, ancient civilizations are really everywhere," Nangong Wuyue muttered. The surrounding bare mountains blocked the gentle wind on the grassland. The current altitude has not yet reached the mountainside where there are more clouds, mist and water vapor. The dry air makes the sea
The demon girl felt a little unhappy, "How much trouble did they make?"
"Anyway, the noise was so loud that it annoyed the goddess," Betsy said with a smile. "It is said that the entire Dragon's Back Mountain Range was forcibly shaped from the plains by the human magic emperor 'Elokan' using a forbidden spell at that time, so it is
That's why it stands so abruptly across the plains. My grandfather said that when Elokan shaped this mountain range, it completely disrupted the blueprint set by the goddess at the beginning of the creation of the world, but the reason why he did this was just because he didn't like it.
The cold wind blowing from the west side of the plain—that’s how the magic emperors of ancient civilizations were...well..."
Hao Ren tried to remind: "Seek death?"
"Yes, seeking death!" Betsy nodded vigorously, "This statement is quite appropriate. Anyway, my grandfather said that the magic emperors of ancient civilizations were very arrogant. All magicians at that time were arrogant. The werewolf magic emperor Sanu
Er' created the Sunset Volcano, and the Elf Queen Lorissa—also a magic emperor—overstepped God's authority to create a semi-immortal tree of life, and allowed the tree to draw nutrients from the goddess's holy spring to maintain eternal life.
, the vampire's magic emperor 'Derian' is the original initiator of transcending divine authority to create a perfect life."
"Uh... It's really crazy." Hao Ren was a little amazed at the creativity of those magic emperors back then. At the same time, he began to think about what if these "mad scientists" with big ideas really appeared in front of Raven 12345.
What would happen, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still felt that Raven 12345 would probably find it very troublesome and leave the mess to his censors...
"The Dragon's Back Mountains are the creation of Elokan, and the power of the earth king still remains here." Betsy was so excited when she talked about the legends and stories she heard from her grandfather. At this time, she continued to talk to herself.
He continued, "It is said that the stone monsters that attack people in the mountains today are driven by Elokan's crazy soul fragments. We'd better not encounter that kind of thing. Although the threat is not great, it is particularly difficult to kill. Hardly.
It’s here.”
"Boom——"
Almost at the same time Betsy finished speaking, a loud thunder-like sound suddenly came from deep in the mountain.
Vivian had 1,800 "trap warning indicators" all over her body and began to call the police frantically. She felt that she might be unlucky again. (To be continued...)
