Chapter 297: Days Traveling Abroad
After walking for more than ten minutes, they finally saw the city-state buildings. However, unlike theirs, the buildings here were all pointed forts, typical ancient Western buildings.
After that, they encountered no more wild monsters and soon arrived near the city wall.
Shen Cheng asked the soldiers to put away their weapons so as not to arouse the resentment of the residents here.
The more than one hundred of them soon attracted the attention of the residents who were gathering food. Lu Jiu could speak foreign languages well, but he only heard those people shouting that outsiders were coming, and then they ran back to the city-state. Others stayed there, pointing at them and whispering something.
Lu Jiu looked at these people. They had deep facial features and were truly foreigners whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
Soon, some people came out from the city-state. When Lu Jiu saw the clothes these people were wearing, he was stunned.
That was basically the common clothing in the Western Continent during the Middle Ages. The lady in the front was wearing a puffy skirt, while the man was wearing a tight top, stockings, and a cloak.
But this is understandable, as there are people wearing ancient costumes over there.
The lady in the puffy skirt had her long golden hair tied into a beautiful bun and was holding an exquisite fan.
"I believe you all are from China..." She glanced at the soldiers standing tall in camouflage uniforms behind her and continued, "The army?"
Lu Jiu thought he could hear the girl speaking a foreign language, but he didn't expect that she would speak Chinese as soon as she opened her mouth.
Chen Cheng immediately extended his hand to the girl, "We are just passing through your city-state and will not stay for long. I wonder if we can stay here for one night."
After shaking hands with Shen Cheng, the girl waved her fan and said, "Of course, but why did you come here? To see the scenery?"
You can't blame her for making such a subtle sarcasm. After all, they were originally from different countries, and now they finally saw foreigners, and they brought their troops with them.
The Yanjing officials had no intention of concealing the purpose of this operation from the beginning. Chen Cheng also knew that he couldn't let these people think that they had bad intentions. "We are going to the edge of the earth this time, so we have to pass by here. Please understand."
Since the earth changed, the originally round earth seems to have been unfolded, and the positions of various countries have changed.
Everyone can see the entire map of the earth. After reaching the edge, there are no other clues.
The girl's expression also turned serious. "You are indeed a great power. You are still willing to send troops to investigate beyond the Earth. But don't you have a saying over there that says 'Everyone is a guest'? As long as you don't come with malicious intent, we have no objection."
As he said this, he returned to the city, fanning himself.
Lu Jiu was thinking about the same-province channel here. As expected, it was all in English. Fortunately, she knew it, but it was mostly just gossip.
·
They didn't speak on the way. After paying the hotel bill, they went to their room. The foreigners stared at them all the way.
Only after arriving in the room did Lu Jiu relax. "Is it really okay for us to just say we want to go to an area outside the Earth?"
She always felt that this was a very important task.
Chen Cheng sat down and said, "It's okay. The authorities have already stated that if anyone asks us what we are doing here, we should just tell them directly. Lying might only cause greater misunderstandings."
Ding Ying: "To avoid further trouble, the authorities chose to start from the east. This route passes through fewer countries, and the closer to the edge, the less populated that area is. This will also save people from speculation. Before the Earth became like this, the area near the edge was extremely cold, and there was a small country there."
Lu Jiu thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. “No wonder. I was wondering why Uncle Shen didn’t just start from the western area.”
After dealing with Zhou Zeyu and Xie Guangyao, we can continue to head west.
Chen Cheng: "After unfolding the map of the earth, many Western Continent countries are located in the western region. It is very troublesome to go there. It is still best to go east."
Cheng Chen and Ding Ying stood up, "You two youngsters will stay here. Captain Shen and I still need to make plans for the future."
Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng stood up to see the three of them out. After closing the door, Shen Jufeng kept paying attention to the conversations on this channel.
"I still think the way those two monsters appeared today was too strange. Could it be that we weren't very far away, so we didn't see any gold-level monsters?"
Lu Jiu really doesn’t think that their country’s strength is worse than here.
Shen Jufeng happened to see one and said, "Look at the channel here. This person said that all the monsters that appeared over there today were epic-level monsters. Maybe this mutation will happen today."
Lu Jiu followed his words and saw the message, "That's even weirder. In the past, when new monsters appeared, they would gradually replace the old ones. Now, they just replace them all at once."
There is other information later, which roughly means that this is not the case there, and this situation only occurs around the city-states that were originally powerful.
Just as the two were trying to get more information from it, Zhuang Yun's email arrived.
Lu Jiu immediately opened it and took a look. "Brother Zhuang said that the wild monsters in Xuantian City today are all epic level. Some teams are too small and almost suffered casualties."
Fortunately, those people escaped quickly and met other teams, so they solved the problem with their combined strength.
In short, it is much more difficult to deal with. Now many teams are thinking of merging or recruiting more people. Zhuang Yun happened not to go out today, and he heard about this from people outside when they came back.
Shen Jufeng: "Maybe this is the reason for the change today. Wild monsters of this level will appear in the wild of powerful city-states. However, the number of people in the team will need to be larger in the future, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with."
Lu Jiu nodded, "Yes, Brother Zhuang said that the mission hall over there is now full of information about recruiting teammates."
·
Xuantian City.
Zhuang Yun was in the mission hall, making his way through the crowd to check the mission information. Yong Lin also squeezed in nearby. "They're all calling in teammates, Brother Zhuang. The team leader who used to form temporary teams with us said they're joining other teams. We probably won't have temporary teams anymore."
Zhuang Yun nodded. "In this situation, it's better to follow a team with better coordination. It's probably not going to work if we continue like before."
Yong Lin was a little hesitant. Dou Fanrong knew that Lu Jiu and the others had other things to do, so he invited him and Zhuang Yun to join their team temporarily.
Zhuang Yun saw what he was thinking about, and considering the current situation, he roughly guessed what it was: "That person wants you to join their team temporarily?"
Yong Lin was a little flustered, but finally nodded. "He said Sister Lu and the others probably won't be back this year, so they're a good choice to join any team temporarily."
Zhuang Yun chuckled. "Actually, Yao Bing'an and the others also invited me, but to be honest, Lin Zuo and the others are stronger. If you don't think it will cause any trouble, we can go to that team. If you don't feel comfortable, we can go to Yao Bing'an and the others."
Yong Lin scratched his head, a little hesitant. The wild monsters were difficult to deal with now, so it would definitely be better to join a stronger team.
"You should go to Lin Zuo's team. At least they are really strong. An An also hopes that you can return home safely every day."
Zhuang Yun also has a daughter, and he also hopes that Brother Zhuang can be in a stronger team.
Zhuang Yun patted his shoulder, knowing that the boy wanted to think for himself, "Then go to their team first. If that person causes trouble to your life, I, your brother Zhuang, will take you to Yao Bingan no matter what."
Yong Lin smiled rather innocently, "Don't worry, he's quite sensible."
