I had been riding my horse for an entire day. Seeing that the sky had darkened quite a bit, I decided to take a good rest. Although I wasn't very tired, the warhorse beneath me was sweating profusely. I found a place with lush water and grass and temporarily became a horse wrangler. I led the warhorse and let him eat to his heart's content. I also picked a few fruits nearby and started eating. The man and horse were finally full.
As usual, I set the magic clock to four hours later. I tied the warhorse to a relatively hidden forest while I climbed up a nearby tree. However, I chose a position where I could see the warhorse as soon as I raised my head. He fell into a deep sleep.
Four hours later, he was woken up by the magic clock. He quickly jumped off the tree, untied the reins of his horse, and continued to run.
Just like that, I rode my warhorse through the Wilma Forest for an entire week. Of course, every day, I used four hours of rest. Seven days later, the dense forest blocked my path. It was really similar to those dense forests at the edge of the forest! Weeds, thorns, and shrubs grew everywhere. Looks like I've reached the edge of Wilma Forest! I analyzed in my heart. I could only rely on myself for the rest of the journey! He looked at the fiery red warhorse with some reluctance! To be honest, if I could, I really wanted to bring it out with me. However, the dense forest in front of him was not something that such a big guy could pass through. I had no choice but to remove its saddle and reins.
"Alright! You are free now!" He slapped the back of the warhorse!
Yu! The warhorse cried out in pain and ran away!
"Damn, he's really heartless!" I looked at the warhorse that had long since disappeared into the distance with a self-deprecating expression.
Now, I don't have my Zhanmadao, but I've already thought of a good way to pass through the dense forest! My luck was actually quite good. The warhorse that I snatched had a set of hard leather armor and a shield on its back. It also had a huge axe. However, that axe was too big for me to use. In addition, it was too heavy, so I threw it away long ago. Although this set of hard leather armor was very different from my body size and had a very unpleasant and strange smell, I still braced myself and put it on. Then, I carried the large shield and squeezed into the dense bushes. I didn't plan to use my knife to open a path. The reason why I did this was because everyone was moving in a group. It was not easy to squeeze with just a few people. Moreover, I had to take care of two delicate noble children, so I could only choose the more laborious method. Now that I was alone, I naturally wouldn't do such a thankless thing. Besides, I still have a big shield and a set of hard leather armor. These two items are good for traversing mountains and forests!
Compared to the past, my current method was much easier. With my large shield, I pushed through the dense weeds and shrubs in front of me to create an empty space just enough for me to pass through. However, the armor on my body blocked most of the poisonous thorns and shrubs that slashed my body. It was really convenient. Their current speed was more than three times faster than when they passed through the dense forest at the edge of Wilma Forest.
Thus, I quickly advanced in the designated direction like a wild boar. Because I was in such a dense forest, it was very difficult to get sunlight. I could only analyze the passage of time through the intensity of the light. Of course, I had a magic clock in my bag, but I couldn't be bothered to take it out. I rested when I was tired and continued on my journey when I had enough rest. I only found a tall tree and spent the night on it. I didn't know how much time had passed. Although the magic clock on my body also had the function of a calendar, I couldn't even be bothered to open my waist pouch. Just like that, I would rest when I was tired, sleep when it was dark, and pick some fruits when I was hungry. The days of wild boars passing through the forest only came to an end when the bushes in front of me disappeared.
In front of him was still a dense forest that covered the sky. However, there were no more annoying thorny shrubs in the clearing.
It seems like we've left Wilma Forest, I thought to myself. Looking at the shield in his hand, the originally black surface of the shield had been polished to a bright white. On a closer look, one could even see patterns of different depths. The armor on his body was also in danger of disintegrating, but it was tied together by a few thick threads that were as thick as beef tendons. Also, my hair has already become clumps. Although I didn't have a mirror, I was sure that if I went out with this appearance, I would definitely be mistaken as a Beastman and killed.
Damn, he was really down and out! However, I still felt lucky that I had finally escaped from the forest. After finding a few reasons to cheer for myself, I once again took a step forward and continued to head north.
Wilma Forest. I don't think I'll ever forget that damned place in my life. However, at the same time, I also feel a little regretful. In the legends of my previous life, Wilma Forest not only had the mysterious Wilma Temple, but it also had the Fallen Cemetery and the Abyss Demon Domain that trapped the Dark Two-Headed King Kong and the Dark Two-Headed Blood Demon. There was also a magical seaside hut. I didn't even have the chance to witness whether these were real or not before I escaped dejectedly. In my opinion, this trip to Wilma was a failure. Of course, If I could, I would never want to enter that place again. After all, curiosity can kill a cat, and I don't want to be that cat.
Unfortunately, I didn't know that this was impossible. In the long days that followed, my overly perfect lie brought me great trouble. I had no choice but to enter and exit this terrifying forest several times. Of course, this was a story for the future.
I continued to head north. Without those annoying bushes and thorns, my speed naturally reached its limit. He spread out his body and ran at full speed. Finally, three days later, I saw the official road for the first time in a long time. However, in order not to be mistaken as a beastman, I still consciously tidied up my appearance. I changed out of the almost disintegrated Orc armor and returned to my original Ranger attire. I was wearing a blue armor, and I also found a small river to carefully wash my hair. In this world, there was a similar concept to the ancient China. The body's hair and skin were inherited from the parents and could not be easily destroyed. Therefore, I could only resist the urge to use the Hundred-battle Sword to cut my hair. I didn't want to see my mother's sad eyes. He had no choice but to spend the entire morning washing it and then tying it into a bundle with a piece of cloth. Looking at the reflection of the river, there were still a few parts that were rolled up. It was really ugly!
However, he could only make do with it! After tidying up, I'm sure that my appearance won't scare people! Only then did he follow the official road with peace of mind! I believe that there should be passersby here. As long as I find a passerby and ask casually, I will know where this place is!
Ta Ta Ta Ta!
The sound of horse hooves could be heard from behind! Turning around, he saw a carriage pulling hay. The driver was a young man, leaning against the shaft of the carriage with his eyes slightly closed. It seemed that he was dozing off, and the whip in his right hand subconsciously lashed the horse pulling the carriage in front.
I quickly stood in the middle of the road.
"Little brother! Stop the car!" I used both my hands to stop the horse, and the old horse pulling the carriage also meekly stopped. It turned its head slightly, as if it was waiting for its master's instructions.
Ah! The old horse's sudden halt caused the young driver to lean forward and almost fall off the horse.
"Ah! What's going on?" The young man hurriedly held onto the shaft of the carriage and casually pulled out a half moon. At the same time, he saw me standing in the middle of the road!
"What are you trying to do!" The young man had a nervous expression on his face.""This is just a cart of grass, there's nothing valuable!”
"Puchi!" I couldn't help but laugh out loud. It seemed that this kid thought I was a robber.
"That one!" I tried my best to make my expression as natural as possible, as if I was a harmless creature."Look, I'm just a passerby, and a lost passerby! So, I want to ride in your car!”
"Phew!" He couldn't help but pat his chest.”The young man sized me up and nodded slightly as if he was sure that I wasn't a bad person."Come on up!"
"Thank you!" I quickly climbed into his carriage! She sat beside him! This was the official road to the land! Are you going there?" The young man asked.
"This, I want to know, how far is this overturn from the Union Heavy Earth City!”
"When we reach Fandi, there will be a relay station to reach Tucheng! It's just a five-day journey."
"Then let's dig the ground!"
"Fight!" The young man lightly whipped the horse whip and looked me up and down as he drove the carriage. Finally, his gaze landed on the two swords on my left and right shoulders."You're a Ranger?"
"Barely!" I added, embarrassed,"I just got my Novice Ranger certification!"”
"Haha! Is that so? Actually, me too!" " I'm doing a quest right now, and that's to send this cart of fodder to plow the fields. Then, I plan to go to Mengchong Earth City!" Happy said.”
"Ah! What a coincidence!" I found it hard to believe.
"Exactly!" The young man grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth! Only then did I have the chance to carefully examine the young man's appearance. How should he put it? It felt very ordinary, but it gave off a warm and intimate feeling. In short, it was the kind that made people feel comfortable. Especially when he smiled. The corners of his mouth and eyes were slightly upturned. This smile was very infectious, making people feel that they were unknowingly infected by him and became happy.
"Haha! Do you know how far the Southern Ridge is from here?”I asked the question I wanted to know the most.
"There's no direct bus to the Southern Ridge! However, he could take a bus to Fengdi and then transfer to Nanling! The journey is also about five days!" "Aren't you going to Earth City?" the young man asked curiously.”
"Hehe, it's nothing. I'm just asking casually. I have a friend who lives in the South Ridge!”"I want to know how far it is from the Southern Ridge to Mengchong!"”
"Aren't you from the league?" The young man looked at me with certainty.
"Actually, I'm from Biqi. It's my first time going on a long trip!”"You know, as a ranger, if you stay in your hometown, you won't make any progress!”
"Haha! I agree!" The young man revealed his pearly white teeth again."So you ran away from home and lost yourself in the end!”
"This, how should I put it!" I scratched my head in embarrassment.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore." "The Southern Ridge Road's Earth City isn't far, it's only a two-day journey!"”
"Hu! That's good!" I couldn't help but pat my chest lightly!
"Looks like that friend is very important to you!”The young man continued while driving the carriage,""Is it a man or a woman?"
"En! There are men and women!" I explained.
“.”The young man rolled his eyes at me."Cunning fellow!"
"Ah! I didn't!"
"Alright, it's none of my business whether it's a man or a woman!”The young man looked at me seriously and said,"My name is Jin Hong!" Professional Daoist, Beginner Ranger!"
"Ah! I'm called Star, and I'm a Warrior and a beginner Ranger!”In the end, he subconsciously bowed and added,"Please take care of me!"
"Puchi! You're really funny!" The youth covered his mouth and laughed.
"Ah!" Only then did I remember that bowing wasn't popular in this world. It was all because I had watched too many Japanese cartoons.
"Don't worry! I'll take care of you!" The young man proudly waved the Half Moon in his hand. Even though I only have the proof of a beginner ranger, my true strength is not limited to this.
"Oh!" "Then how powerful are you?" I asked curiously.”
"This, I don't know!" The young man said with a certain expression,"Anyway, it's very powerful, very powerful!”
"I don't know! But it's very powerful, very powerful!" I was a little stunned. What a strange fellow.
"Alright! The ground is overturned in front!"
Following the young man's gaze, there was only a city wall that towered over the horizon. They lined up in a straight line. It looked similar to the towns in the legends. They were all square, with four walls and four doors. Each of the four gates had four guards armed with broadswords! Actually, I really wanted to know if the broadsword guards in this world were as invincible and awesome as the ones in the Legend of Mir 2. However, I hadn't put them into action yet. It was better to be safe than sorry. If they were really invincible experts and killed me with one slash, then I wouldn't even have the chance to cry. After all, this wasn't a game. If I died, I could still retreat a little!
I looked at the broadsword guard at the door with a gloomy and probing expression. I was secretly calculating when I would find an opportunity to measure the broadsword guard's weight.
"Stars!" I felt the corner of my clothes being pulled by someone and turned around in shock.
"Those few people have a grudge against you!" Jin Hong said cautiously.
"No!"
"Then why did you stare at him like that just now?”"It's as if I'm going to swallow them alive!" Jin Hong continued.”
"Ah!" I was slightly surprised.”
"It's true!" "Your expression just now was very scary!" Jin Hong said with lingering fear.”
"Ah! Haha!" I laughed dryly and explained,"I just remembered something very angry!"”
"Oh!" Jin Hong revealed an understanding expression."However, don't put on that scary face if you don't have anything to do. If the broadsword guard sees it, it will be very troublesome.”
"Yes!" I nodded.
When we walked through the city gates, the four broadsword guards didn't even look at us, like four wooden statues. Not only us, but also the others who came in and out.
"Alright! Now it's time to flip the ground!" "Are you going to the relay station directly, or are you waiting for me to hand in the mission?"”
"I'll go with you to hand in the mission!”Actually, I was planning to check the Wandering Dragon Gang's mission progress on the Ranger's bulletin board.
"Oh!" Jin Hong nodded slightly. Then, the horsewhip swung lightly. The old horse continued to pull the carriage.
Fandi was a small town. The layout of the streets was not much different from Maple Leaf Town, but the flow of people was much greater. There were shops on both sides of the streets. It was obvious that the economy of this small town was very developed. The streets were crowded and lively with carriages coming and going. Most of them were commoners dressed in cloth clothes, and there were also many Jianghu Rangers wearing light helmets and carrying weapons. Occasionally, there were a few nobles dressed in colorful clothes. During this time, he seemed to be at ease.
The peddlers 'cries, the young girls' laughter, the children's laughter, and even the barking of dogs were transmitted into my ears from time to time.
The entire city gave off a relaxed, cheerful, and lively feeling.
"What a good place!" I praised sincerely.
"Is that so?" Jin Hong looked at me in shock,"How did you see that?"”
"Look at the people on the street!" I chuckled,"And listen to the sounds on the street!"”In the end, I pretended to be deep and added,"Carefully feel it again!"
"Look at him!" Jin Hong widened his eyes and pricked up his ears, scanning the surroundings. After a long time, he still had a puzzled expression."I don't see anything special!"
"Haha!" I chuckled.”
"What!" "You look like an old man who has gone through the vicissitudes of life!" Jin Hong said angrily.”
“.”I was stunned. He had seen through me.
In front of them was the Ranger's notice board!
Just like Maple Leaf Town, this bulletin board was like a train station. The people coming in and out were all Rangers wearing armor and equipped with weapons.
Jin Hong walked through the door and turned around. He found a counter for handing over missions.
" Mission number 365479," Jin Hong said as she took out the mission number wooden token and handed it to the administrator.
"Mission number 365479, escort a cart of fodder from Linchuan to Fandi! It lasted for three days!" The administrator nodded slightly. Now complete! Mission canceled."
"Well done!" The young administrator chuckled as he opened a large notebook and wrote down a few notes.
"Thank you!" Jin Hong slightly bowed and smiled.
"That one!" I finally found a chance to interject."I want to know if the Wandering Dragon Gang's escort mission has been completed!”
"Oh!" The administrator looked at me blankly." If you're not a member of this guild, you have no right to check the progress of the mission!”The administrator spread out his hands and made an apologetic gesture.
"I'm a member of the Wandering Dragon Gang!" As I spoke, I took out my Ranger certificate and explained,"It's just that I got separated from my companions during the mission, so please, please tell me!”
"En! Ranger

The administrator looked at me in surprise." You're the deputy leader of Wandering Dragon Gang!”
"Yes!" I, I nod slightly
Then, the administrator took out a thick book."Yes, I found it!

"Mission progress! Completed!" I muttered to myself, and then became overjoyed. I almost couldn't help but shout,"The mission progress is complete, which means that they are still alive!”
"It's like this!" "Is there anything else I can help you with?”
