By the time the sun was about to go down, a few people had arrived at a desolate stretch of mounds, covered with low shrubs whose leaves had basically fallen off.
The noisy crow stood on the branch with its wings spread, staring at the group of scouts who were still marching as night fell.
"What a shame!"
Hua Luo swooped down, and the rows of crows that had been standing high on the branches suddenly panicked and fled.
"Quack! Quack! Quack!"
Valor glanced at the jackdaws indifferently with his eagle eyes, then landed directly on Quinn's shoulder, neighing something in a low voice, and rubbing his head from time to time.
"You mean there's a place out front where you can spend the night, right?"
Quinn happily stretched out her hand and scratched the down on its chest.
"Violent!"
"Keep going, there is a place to camp ahead!"
Chai Anping couldn't help but beam with joy when he heard this. He had never ridden a horse before, but he rode for a whole day for the first time. The saddle under his butt was really painful. If he hadn't been using alchemy potions to repair it, I'm afraid
Now there is no trace of skin left.
Even so, the pain did not decrease at all.
"The men who are good at roping horses, most of them are bow-legged... hiss."
Quinn and Valor led the group to a low slope sheltered from the wind. Chai Anping and Partridge both breathed a sigh of relief after finally being able to rest.
It was said that a camp could be set up, but in fact no one brought a tent, they all just made do with sleeping bags.
Pickle and his field army companion Dobbin Clive consciously collected firewood quickly to make a living. They walked along rivers along the way, so water sources were easy to find.
Chai Anping breathed a sigh of relief and sat directly on the ground without receiving the task from Quinn. He poured some water from the kettle into his hands and rubbed it on his face, which was already a little chapped from the wind all day.
Partridge hid in the bushes alone and applied medicine to his thighs, thinking no one knew.
This is Chai Anping's first "autumn outing" like this. It's really special... and wonderful.
If there were no tasks to consider, it would definitely be a good trip.
Beside the fire, Quinn spread out the map he carried with him and was drawing something with a finger-long pencil in his hand. Pickle was helping to give some suggestions. Chai Anping rested for a while and then started to talk.
passed.
"Hmm...Are you planning on tomorrow's marching route?"
"That's right." Quinn pointed to him and pointed to the undulating mountains in the painting: "The road will be more difficult to walk starting tomorrow, so we need to plan carefully."
"It's harder to walk..."
Chai Anping raised his eyebrows. From the map, it looked like they were only halfway to the Owendale Mountains. If nothing went wrong, they could reach the foot of the East Peak tomorrow night.
This reminded him of the time when he transformed into a dragon knight and crossed half of the map of Demacia in half a day. If Shyvana could participate in this mission...
emmmm.
It's a pity that she doesn't have the trust of the council for such an important task, and I heard that her nose will become useless in winter or in places covered with ice and snow. What's the use of a fire dragon without a dog's nose?
!
Chai Anping bullied Long Nu without any moral integrity.
"Gulu gulu..."
Needham, a self-proclaimed chef in the team, was cooking soup in a small pot. According to what he said, he was basically responsible for all three meals at home. He was proficient in all kinds of dishes, and Chai Anping almost picked out the eight major Chinese cuisines.
Have a cooking showdown with him.
Although their current place is still in the hinterland of Demacia, because it is close to the Owendale Mountains, wild beasts and magical beasts occasionally escape the sentry and rush into the village, so there are basically few people here.
"Okay, let's all come over for dinner." Needham greeted, and then Partridge, who was hiding in the bushes, slowly walked out.
Everyone took out dry food from the packages, gathered around the fire, and soaked the hardened dry food in the soup.
"Speaking of which, although I am the captain, I have already read your information, but it would be better for us to take this opportunity to improve our understanding." Quinn said with a smile: "They are all comrades who are entrusted to the back, there is no need to hide them.
.”
"I'll do it first." Pikel took the initiative when he heard the words: "I am Field Army Commander Pikel. I am good at using machetes. I have taken an eighth-level body refining potion. My body is close to that of a ferocious beast, and I can attack difficulties head-on."
"hiss--"
His words caused a burst of horror. The eighth-level potion... is a truly priceless treasure that can only be found. Even if Chai Anping wanted to go to Sir William to ask for it, he wouldn't have it.
"Ahem..." Dobbin Clive glanced at Pickle helplessly: "I also belong to the Field Army, Centurion, and am proficient in jungle warfare and reconnaissance."
"Everyone knows me, right? I'm the commander of the city defense army. He's a good fighter... I'm here to be a bodyguard this time." Needham smiled and said, "Oh yes... and everyone's chef."
The three professional soldiers were the first to finish the report. When everyone's attention turned to Chai Anping, he blinked and said, "Gracie Shelley, the inspector of the Inspection Department, is also good at swordsmanship. If you insist on having any proficiency... Handle the case, find someone
Let’s just count the clues, this mission is mainly about bodyguards.”
"Tsk..." Partridge sneered: "I don't have an official position, but there are many captains in the city defense army who were defeated by me. I believe Needham knows that I am here to escort you this time!
"
Yo?
Chai Anping turned his head slightly when he heard this, and beat the captain violently... That's awesome! But there are only two captains sitting here among the six people, which one do you want to hit?
Needham looked a little ugly when he heard this, but thinking about the Sirode family, he still chose to shut up and take a sip of soup.
Pickle chuckled and touched his disfigured ear.
"Is it my turn in the end?" Quinn felt the strange atmosphere and chuckled: "I am neither a centurion nor a centurion, just a ranger. But in the Owendale Mountains, you can
Trust me and Vallo."
No one dares to underestimate her, not even Partridge. It is impossible for him to have the same attitude towards Chai Anping when facing someone with the title of "Wings of Demacia".
"Eat first, then soak the dry food to dissolve it." Needham asked everyone to use their chopsticks quickly.
Partridge, who originally expected to hear two compliments, suddenly looked livid as he watched five pairs of rough chopsticks stabbing into the small pot, and his stomach suddenly surged...
What the fuck...
"Eat, master."
Chai Anping greeted him warmly: "If you don't eat, you won't have the strength to protect us."
"Gulu...you guys eat first." Partridge swallowed hard and stood up, holding the dry food bag in his hand and walking towards the river bank.
Needham silently showed his thumb and gave Chai Anping a thumbs up.
"Come on, come on, try these mushrooms picked by Dobin, they are very sweet!"
The young Partridge clenched his fists as he listened to the laughter and laughter behind him, especially since the half-baked inspector seemed to be the center of everyone's conversation!
