After a night's rest, the caravan headed along the path through the thorn forest.
Because the path was too narrow, the caravan was very long and slow. Nan Wukong was at the front and Julie was at the back of the caravan.
We kept marching like this, and except for the occasional birds and beasts, we didn't even see a single mouse on the land.
"It's a bit miserable. Didn't you buy more food?" Nan Wukong said looking at the two guards around him holding their stomachs with sad expressions on their faces.
"There isn't much food for the orcs. I've tried my best. I wanted to collect 0 days' worth, but it turned out that I only had 15 days' worth at most, and no one would sell it." Mulun was also very worried, although there were some wild foods caught in the mountains.
It's not enough to eat at all.
"There is no other way. If it doesn't work, I can only set fire to this place." Nan Wukong sighed.
I don’t know which creatures will be offended by this act of setting fire, so it’s very unsafe to do it if I can’t do it.
Staying rational in doing things is the quality of a good mage.
We marched all the way, only taking a half-hour break at noon and spending the rest of the time on the road, and finally walked out of this thorn forest in the evening.
Because it was dark and unable to see the surroundings, everyone could only set up shelters and camp here, using thorns to create fences, which could effectively resist some monsters.
"You can already smell the smell of the sea and the fluffy sea breeze. We are very close to Hongcheng. Everyone, please persevere!" Mulun encouraged everyone in the caravan.
Nan Wukong looked at Mulun and wondered if Lilith was like this when she was running a business.
"What kind of city is Hongcheng?" Julie asked in a soft voice, leaning her head on Nan Wukong's shoulder.
"I've never been there, so I don't know." Nan Wukong still loved Julie very much and put a bag of ham sausage in Julie's hand. Eating that bacon is always unhealthy.
But Julie would not eat the food alone and would share it with others, mainly women and children. Those grown men couldn't bear to grab it, so they could only watch. Besides, they thought bacon was not bad.
…
In a neutral city like Hongcheng, the status of a human noble is of little use; everything is respected by strength.
The city lord of Rainbow City, Queen Elembe of the Naga clan, is a great mage with both thunder and water skills. The great mage is at the same level as a saint.
A few days later, everyone in the caravan was so hungry that they were dizzy. Fortunately, they had arrived at Hongcheng.
Hongcheng is divided into two urban areas, the West City and the East City where Nan Wukong and others are located, connected by a Rainbow Bridge.
The Rainbow Bridge is not a straight bridge but a convex and curved bridge. Without any support, it is difficult to imagine what kind of material it is made of.
The West City is the outer city of Hong City. The inner city is only after crossing the Rainbow Bridge and entering the East City. Queen Naga is in the palace in the East City, and Mingquan is also in the East City.
There is a qualification required to enter the East City, which is to pass the Rainbow Bridge. There is an unknown trial on the Rainbow Bridge.
After entering Mulun, Xicheng, he took a group of caravan members to eat and drink. Nan Wukong's escort mission ended here, and he had nothing to do with this caravan.
Nan Wukong and his people booked a room at a hotel, which was not expensive.
"Want to go shopping?"
Just the west city of Hongcheng is bigger than the orc city we passed before, while the east city is smaller but very delicate.
The city wall of Hongcheng West City is more than 50 meters high and is built on a cliff. There is a steep stone staircase 100 meters long on the cliff. People who live in the sea can enter Hongcheng West City through the stone staircase. Land creatures can enter directly from the city gate.
Many buildings in Xicheng are very high. There are about three or four buildings that are 100 meters high, not far apart.
You can see many strange creatures on the street, such as Squidward who looks very much like SpongeBob SquarePants, and Birdman, who is indeed a human with wings... (To be continued)
