Next, their next destination was also a small town, but because it was relatively close to the Golden City, it had also been driven to develop and was much more prosperous than this Kanzhou City.
And their journey was much better than yesterday.
Yesterday, we encountered a lot of troubles and unexpected accidents along the way, otherwise it wouldn’t have been so difficult.
Accidents like this can't happen every day, and bad luck can't happen all the time, right?
Li Yang was thinking in his heart as he set off on his journey with Zhao Linger.
As they continued to move away from the city gate, the Jinzhou Castle behind them gradually disappeared, and they officially entered the wild area.
The surrounding environment began to change slowly, becoming increasingly worse.
To reach their goal for today, the next destination, from here, they need to first cross the forest in front of them, then cross a canyon, and finally walk straight to reach their destination.
It sounds much simpler and not that complicated.
But just as they were on the road and walking in the front and middle section of the forest, the originally scorching and sunny weather suddenly became wrong.
The sun in the sky disappeared silently, and the sky became dark.
When I saw Li Yang, I knew he was in trouble.
It's expected to be windy and rainy this time.
This will inevitably have an impact on their behavior and will definitely slow them down.
But fortunately, if that's all, the problem shouldn't be too big, because as long as there isn't a huge beast tide like yesterday, it's within their acceptable range.
Will rainy days trigger a beast tide? Probably not, then there's nothing to worry about.
At most they would get soaked to the skin. Given their professional physical condition, they are basically immune to diseases like colds.
The two walked forward, chatting occasionally along the way.
"Oh no! It looks like it's going to rain. My clothes will definitely get dirty." Zhao Linger said worriedly.
Li Yang disagreed.
"Why don't you just not wear it and put it away. You can even take a shower in the rain."
"No, can't you just not have any bad ideas?" Zhao Linger's face darkened.
"I remember back in the military camp, my friends used to tell me that in situations like this, men would usually volunteer their clothes. For example, if a lady walked through a puddle and was worried about getting her shoes dirty, an elegant man would unhesitatingly take off his newly bought suit and use it as a carpet for the beautiful lady to walk on."
Li Yang glanced at her calmly.
"It's useless, no matter how crazy your hints are. It's none of my business."
"Besides, are you a lady? You've already said you're hanging out with those scoundrels, and you still call yourself a lady? You know they're just scoundrels. Just listen to what they say, don't take it too seriously. This kind of behavior is just that of a toady, a bootlicker! Even if it was called a gentleman in the old days, times are changing and progressing."
Zhao Linger suddenly stopped talking and just stared at him with a pout.
I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say it for a moment. I was speechless.
Li Yang, however, looked indifferent.
"What's wrong? Others are just saying it to appease you. I'm the only one telling you the truth. I'm helping you break free from your information cocoon."
"So, do I have to thank you?"
"Yes, you should thank me."
Zhao Linger stopped talking.
The two continued on their way.
There was silence for a while.
Thinking of something, Zhao Linger suddenly spoke again.
"By the way, Li Yang, I remember you also have a supernatural lock?"
"What's wrong?" Li Yang looked at her puzzled.
"Can you lend it to me?" Zhao Linger blinked.
Li Yang raised his eyebrows and looked at her suspiciously.
"Don't you have one yourself? Why are you looking at mine?"
"Oh, well, the power locks everyone gets have different properties and effects, right? I don't know if you've ever used this power lock before, but I just wanted to try out someone else's. In exchange, I can give you mine."
After saying that, Zhao Linger looked at Li Yang expectantly.
Li Yang didn't say anything and fell silent.
Well, this does make sense. The abilities of each supernatural lock should be different. He had seen Zhao Linger’s supernatural lock before. The appearance and pattern were different, and the effects must be different as well.
Moreover, Li Yang has used this supernatural lock in his hand several times. It is indeed very useful and the effect is very significant. He is also looking forward to the abilities of other supernatural locks.
But nothing about this is a joke.
Although he was a little tempted, Li Yang finally restrained his thoughts.
People cannot be too greedy, nor too curious, and cannot cross the line.
Then he rejected Zhao Linger.
Zhao Linger's face suddenly fell, full of despair.
"Oh, okay... By the way, can I ask, what is your special ability?"
Zhao Linger still had some hope.
Li Yang felt that there was nothing to hide about this, so he spoke up.
"It's a Fire-related ability lock. Its skills are also Fire-related, and it can deal burst damage."
Anyway, the ability lock in his hand is used to amplify the power of the user. Of course, there must be other ability locks for other professions, such as damage resistance or auxiliary, and those abilities should also depend on the profession.
Zhao Linger nodded.
"That feels similar to mine. Both enhance combat power, but my skill is more of a sustaining effect. The longer I fight the enemy, the more potential I'll unleash, and my overall physical fitness will improve."
"This supernatural lock is really useful, but the side effects are a bit severe. After using it, I felt weak all day long."
"Side effects?" Li Yang raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard her words.
This thing has side effects. It seems like he hasn't felt anything after using it so many times. How strange...
Li Yang thought about it in his heart, but did not say it out loud.
After finishing this topic, the scene fell silent for a while.
During this time, they continued to operate in the forest.
We encountered many monsters during the journey, and it was raining and the visibility was poor, which made it very difficult for a while.
Li Yang used all the monsters he encountered as experience points. His biggest worry was that he might take the wrong path.
The hazy rain and the muddy road made it almost impossible to find the direction.
But after going through untold hardships, they finally walked out of this maze-like forest. Now they just had to cross the canyon in front of them to reach their destination.
It was already late at this time, it was already afternoon.
But the weather was always so gloomy that it made it hard to feel the passage of time.
Zhao Linger wiped the rain off her body and said unhappily.
"My mentality has collapsed. Everything was fine before we set out. The sun was scorching, but as soon as we started on the road, it turned cloudy, raining and windy. How can this not be gloomy? This guy is obviously targeting us on purpose!"
"Damn it! If they didn't insist that we travel on our own to gain some experience, I wouldn't be going this way alone."
"Stop complaining. We're more than halfway there. We're almost there. Let's go."
Li Yang stood by, looking at the sky, thinking: If it were just like this, it would be fine. If I could arrive smoothly like this, it would be pretty good too.
