Gu Shi climbed onto the seat nimbly.
The vehicle fixed on the back of the griffin has a total of five seats, a single seat in the front is reserved for the trainer, and two side-by-side seats in the back.
Gu Shi randomly chose a seat and sat down, and the trainer followed.
"Sir, please tie the straps."
The trainer pulled out two black straps from beside his seat and helped Gu Shi fasten them before he sat down in his seat.
The trainer simply patted the griffin's neck, and it spread its wings and kicked its legs hard to fly.
After a period of ups and downs during takeoff, they were flying steadily in the sky. The protection formed by magic power around them blocked the strong winds during the flight.
Sitting on the griffin's back, Gu Shi couldn't help but look down. As they flew, Congleton gradually turned into a small dot and disappeared from sight.
This feeling is completely different from flying on an airplane. When flying on an airplane, you can only observe the situation outside through a small window on the side, but now you can see the surrounding scenery at a glance.
While enjoying the joy of flying, Gu Shi quietly put the study of flying skills on his agenda.
Ordinary professionals can only use magic to fly after reaching the seventh level, but wind mages can learn to fly in advance by learning the fifth-level flying technique.
After the initial excitement, Gu Shi gradually got used to this feeling. The journey would take about three or four hours, so he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Time passed unnoticed, and when Gu Shi opened his eyes again, he felt the griffin begin to fall. Gu Shi couldn't help but hold on to the chair tightly. Although there were straps in front of him, the roller coaster-like excitement still made his heart pound.
Soon, the griffin landed smoothly.
The trainer turned around and said to him, "Sir, we're here."
After Gu Shi got off the griffin, he found himself in a place similar to the open space behind Xilin Rental Store. He looked around, not knowing where to go.
The trainer saw what Gu Shi was thinking and explained to him, "This is your first time here, right? This is our branch of Xilin Rental Company in Melia Town. When you go out, just keep going along the road to the left and you will see the Monster Forest."
Gu Shi nodded and said, "I understand, thank you."
After the trainer finished speaking, he took the griffin to the side to rest.
Following the trainer's instructions, Gu Shi left the Xilin Rental Store and walked along the road to the left.
The town of Meria is the closest supply point to the Warcraft Forest in the Igrit Empire. At first, people only regarded this place as a temporary camp. Later, as time passed, the temporary camp gradually developed into a small town.
Because it is too close to the Warcraft Forest, sometimes the Warcraft that cannot find food in winter will form small waves of moisture to impact villages and towns. Over time, a vacuum zone is formed outside the Warcraft Forest.
The town of Melia is the only exception.
The town of Meria was now quite prosperous, with people coming and going on the streets. Most of the people who came here were adventurers heading to the Warcraft Forest. Many people seized this opportunity and started businesses here.
Perhaps it was because Gu Shi's temperament was a little out of place, and he was soon targeted by a map seller.
"Hey, this young master is coming to the Warcraft Forest for the first time, right? Would you like to buy a map? I promise that the map I have is absolutely the most complete and accurate."
The tall and thin man selling maps came up to Gu Shi and started selling his maps.
Gu Shi said indifferently: "No need."
After saying that, he ignored the man and continued walking towards the Warcraft Forest.
He already had a map of the Warcraft Forest. There was a copy in the space ring given to him by Wang Feng.
In order to complete the task of collecting the illustrations, the resource-rich Warcraft Forest is naturally given great attention by the school.
The school had already sent a team to explore this area, which was how Gu Shi got the map. They were planning to establish a second base here once certain conditions were met.
The people selling goods here were a mixed bunch, and Gu Shi couldn't guarantee that he could tell which ones were real and which ones were fake, so he chose to prepare everything in advance in Congleton.
The few people nearby who were also trying to solicit customers rejected the tall and thin man so decisively that they did not try to sell him anything.
After confirming the location of the Warcraft Forest, Gu Shi did not go in immediately. Instead, he walked around the town again and found a hotel with better conditions and booked a room for a month.
Gu Shi did not plan to spend the night in the Warcraft Forest. Not to mention that he had no experience in surviving in the wild, for someone who grew up in a peaceful society, it was too difficult for him to wake up at the first sign of movement.
And with the wind-based speed spell in hand, the daily commute would not take up too much of his time.
After solving the accommodation problem, Gu Shicai prepared to go to the Warcraft Forest.
The closer you get to the Warcraft Forest, the more adventurers you'll see. Most of them act in teams, and there are only a few lone wolves like Gu Shi.
The Warcraft Forest gives people a completely different feeling from the practical forest area in Congleton College. The vegetation here is deeper and denser, and the teams entering the Warcraft Forest around are not as energetic as those in the college.
For these adventurers who have been running around in the Warcraft Forest all year round, every entry into the Warcraft Forest is a challenge. No one can guarantee that they can come back safely this time, so they are all quiet and cautious.
As soon as he entered the Monster Forest, Gu Shi quickly moved away from other people. It was not only the monsters that could bring danger here, but also people.
Gu Shi followed the route he had planned in advance and quickly moved towards an area where water-based monsters gathered.
He was not in a hurry about the mission. The kind of herbs his employer needed could only be collected at a specific time, so his current goal was to collect magic crystals.
Gu Shi had a clear understanding of his own strength, and he didn't think of challenging those high-level monsters beyond his capabilities, so his hunting process for magic crystals went quite smoothly.
After confirming that there were no magical beasts by the river that he could not deal with, Gu Shi acted decisively and directly harvested a small pile of magic crystals and a lot of valuable materials.
"It's getting dark, and it's about time to go back."
Gu Shi saw the setting sun through the layers of branches. It was almost noon when he entered the Monster Forest. He had only eaten some bread at noon, and now his stomach was rumbling.
After collecting the spoils, Gu Shi began to return. With the help of his fast pace, he returned to the town of Melia in no time.
