The hospitable mountain people specially prepared a lot of dry food specially produced in the village for them when they saw them off. Although the big backpack on the back of Yizaks made people believe that Hao Ren and his party would not be short of supplies on the road, the mountain people said it was It was the habit of their family to send off friends, so Hao Ren accepted these things gratefully.
This warm reception should be thanks to Becky's good contacts. I can't see that this mercenary girl has established such a high popularity among these foreigners. Becky's explanation for this is very simple: "The mountain people are very People who are easy to understand, repay kindness with kindness, and repay grievances with grievances. It happens that my personality is similar, so after helping them a few times, it is easy to become friends."
Unexpectedly, this mercenary girl who seems to have focused on money has such a simple and clean side in her bones.
After the group left the small border village, they didn't delay their trip any longer, and spent the next few days at full speed.
It is very hard work to travel day and night on the vast grassland, but the magnificent exotic scenery along the way diverts the attention of the group to some extent, so it is not too hard. Riding a horse and galloping in such a vast place is not a novel feeling that can be easily experienced. Even Vivian and Nangong Wuyue, who have traveled around the world, seem to be in high spirits along the way, let alone Lily: she simply loves In such an unrestrained wild environment, half of the time every day is spent riding a horse, and half of the time is spent running behind the team with Yizaks, and occasionally running for a while with his own horse on his back. The travel life is particularly rich So colorful... it's hard to bear to look at.
"You guys are quite interesting," Betsy turned her head to look at Y'zaks who was rushing along at the end of the team, and the four-legged werewolf girl who was racing with her mount. I feel that all the rare things I can see in my life have happened in the past few days, "Ask again, are you sure you are all studying magic?"
"Isn't it?" Hao Ren repeated this question many times, and now he has basically reached the level of talking nonsense face to face without changing his face. The nonsense came as soon as she opened her mouth, "Lily just took the wrong medicine during the alchemy experiment..."
"Didn't you say that she was struck by lightning during a magic experiment last time?"
"Oh, he was struck by lightning while taking medicine, and his head was caught by the door by the way."
Vivienne sighed and communicated with Nangong Wuyue next to her: "Suddenly I don't want to bully Big Dog anymore, so treat her well in the future."
Lily didn't know what these unscrupulous guys were talking about herself behind her back. She had a good time happily, then suddenly sprinted to Hao Ren's side, and then sprinted with extraordinary agility regardless of the horses running. on horseback. He grabbed Hao Ren's shoulder from behind and shook vigorously, "Landlord, landlord! We're almost at the foot of the mountain!" It's a pity that this girl never put her talent to the right place.
Hao Ren was almost thrown off his horse by Lily, but he managed to stabilize his figure before raising his head. Seeing the mountain range in the distance is now close at hand: this mountain range has appeared on the horizon a long time ago, but as the saying goes, looking at the mountain runs to death, and the group rushed for several hours before arriving at the mountain. underfoot.
This mountain range is the famous "Dragon's Back Mountain Range" in the west of Holleta Kingdom. It is named for its continuous, and more than half of the whole mountain range is distributed with evenly spaced, violently undulating, spine-shaped mountains. It extends from the western inland of the Holletta Kingdom to the depths of the prairie. Hao Ren and the others went to A barrier that cannot be bypassed by the Beinz Blood Lake.
Because the other side of the mountain range is the sacred Beinz Blood Lake, the Holleta people spent a lot of manpower and material resources digging large tunnels or roads along the mountain in order to cross this mountain range. Continuous teleportation array to connect. Hao Ren's original plan was to turn south at the mountain range, take a zigzag line from the kingdom's interior, and finally pass through a newer mountain tunnel. However, in order to find clues about the "female from another world" who had acted two days earlier than them, everyone in the mountain village decided to cross the barrier directly from the ancient mountain road near the border of the grassland.
Comparing the two routes. The latter seems to be a shorter straight-line distance, but in fact it takes about the same time: although the mountain tunnel needs to detour to the kingdom's borders. But it is relatively easy to walk. Although the route of the ancient mountain trail is direct, it is not a shortcut because of the rugged road and the complicated situation in the mountains. Of course, there is no difference between these two paths for experienced mercenaries with various special skills.
Becky is a second-level mercenary. Although she is quite young, she must be able to pass multiple tests to obtain today's rating. She must have real skills. This is the first time I have crossed this mountain range, so this time I will take the lead as a guide. Becky led the crowd into an inconspicuous valley at the foot of the mountain that was easily missed by rookies, and found the ancient mountain road that sloped upward.
"Be careful here," everyone dismounted and walked, with Becky leading the horse and walking in the front, "this area is said to be one of the relics of ancient civilizations, 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."
"It's true that ancient civilizations are everywhere," Nangong Wuyue muttered. The surrounding bare mountains blocked the warm wind on the grassland. The current altitude has not yet reached the mountainside with more clouds and mist. The dry air makes the sea Yaomeizi was a little upset, "How much trouble did they make?"
"Anyway, the noise was so loud that it annoyed the goddess," Becky said with a smile, "It is said that the entire Dragon's Back Mountain Range was forcibly shaped from the flat ground by the human magic emperor 'Eloken' at that time, so it That’s why it stands so abruptly on the plain. My grandfather said that Elokon’s shaping of this mountain range completely disrupted the blueprint set by the goddess at the beginning of creation, but the reason he did so was only because he didn’t like it. The cold wind blowing from the west side of the plain - that's how the magic emperors of the ancient civilization were... um..."
Hao Ren tried to remind: "Death?"
"Yes, die!" Becky 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, Lolisa, Queen of the Elf - also a Magical Emperor - created a semi-immortal tree of life by crossing the authority of the gods, and let that tree draw nourishment from the goddess' holy spring to maintain eternal life, vampire The magic emperor 'Drian' is the original initiator of transcending theocracy to create a perfect life."
"Um... really crazy." Hao Ren was also a little amazed at the creativity of those magic emperors back then, and at the same time he began to think about what would happen if these "mad scientists" with big brains really appeared in front of Raven 12345 How about it, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still thinks that Raven 12345 will probably find it very troublesome and hand over the mess to his examiners...
"The Dragon's Back Mountain Range is a creation of Elokon, and the power of the land king still remains here," Becky continued excitedly when she talked about the legends she heard from her grandfather. Go on, "It is said that the stone monsters that attack people in the mountains today are driven by Elokon's crazy soul fragments. We'd better not encounter that kind of thing. Although it's not a big threat, it's not easy to kill. It's on."
"Boom—"
Almost at the same time as Becky's voice fell, a loud thunderous noise suddenly came from the depths of the mountain.
Vivienne started to call the police with 1,800 "early warning indicators of being cheated" all over her body, and she felt that she might be in bad luck again.
