Chapter 123 123. The Strong Ones
"Do you know the way? It's hard to find the way now."
Hidan informed the territory that the roads were completely covered with snow, and that only a rough direction could be discerned.
It's easy to get lost. The pandas looked at each other in bewilderment: "According to the city lord's suggestion, what should we do?"
"Let me arrange a guide for you." Xidan called his followers and whispered a few words in her ear.
The call for talents has been hanging in the square of the Executive Hall for nearly two months, but only a handful of people have come to sign up.
Talent is scarce in Dongwei City, few residents are educated, and they are not willing to leave their hometown to venture out.
Besides, traveling in this era is very risky. If you want to go faster and save time, you must take the road through the East Wasteland Forest. There is not even a place to stay along the way. Those who don't plan to camp in the ice and snow can only give up.
Xidan kept delaying, from mid-September to November, and finally felt that he could not delay any longer and had to give an explanation to the lord.
The attendant returned with a young black-haired woman and reported to Hidan: "The other people said that the road is too dangerous now and they will consider it again when the weather warms up next year."
"Okay! If I can have one, I'll be satisfied." Xidan said helplessly.
He looked at the young girl in front of him. Her name was Yun Qi and she was the daughter of Yun Ruo, the owner of the Swordsman Hall who taught martial arts in the city.
The girl has delicate and pretty features, a high nose bridge, a pointed chin, a very rosy and healthy complexion, neatly trimmed black short hair, and a lively and cunning look in her eyes.
He was only twenty years old, wearing a white leather coat, deerskin boots, and a sword hanging from his waist.
As we all know, people who practice martial arts usually come from better-off families.
The owner of the hall, Yun Ruo, is very famous in the city. He is one of the few limit breakers. In addition to teaching disciples, he is also responsible for certain defenses and has a high status.
As an elder, Xidan thought about it and advised: "Have you thought it through? The road is very dangerous. You are a young man and don't have much experience in surviving in the wild. I allow you to regret it."
"Lord City Lord, am I going to go on this journey alone?" Yun Qi asked doubtfully.
"Of course not. You are on the road with this group of pandas. If there is anything you need, I can try my best to provide it." Xidan raised his hand to gesture to the people around him: "You should have been to Huange Town, right?"
"Yes." Yun Qi said that he went to Donghuang Forest to hunt every year.
"What about Donggang City?" Xidan asked again.
"I've been there once." Yun Qi replied.
Xidan nodded: "Go back and ask your mother what she thinks. I don't want to see you die on the road because of your youth and ignorance."
"Don't ask, she won't agree, but I have this." Yun Qi clenched his fists, his blood surged, and a faint transparent aura surged from his body.
Xidan widened his eyes slightly: "You, you have already The young are formidable!"
If one practices martial arts from a young age and has good talent, most people can reach the limit of their qi and blood around the age of 20.
The key is breakthrough.
The generally accepted method is to practice constantly or seek a breakthrough in a life-and-death battle. A small number of people are lucky enough to have the opportunity to take precious medicinal herbs and achieve a breakthrough.
Even so, the overall breakthrough probability of a warrior does not exceed one percent.
Breaking the limit is a watershed. If you cross it, status is at your fingertips. If you fail to do so, you will only remain at an ordinary level.
At most, they are called good players or elites, but they can never be called strong.
"Okay, I agree." Hidan ordered his followers to bring some supplies that the travelers needed, such as clothes, kettles, food, flints, etc.
In fact, Yun Qi could have run there by herself, but who wanted her to have a poor sense of direction?
Quiet night.
There was no sound of wind, and a dark blue moon hung high in the sky.
A group of panda people followed the black-haired girl, walking in the snow.
With every step I took, the snow would reach my knees.
Fortunately, it did not melt, otherwise even the Pandaren would feel uncomfortable.
"Everyone, I heard that you have come all the way from the Orc Kingdom?" Yun Qi spoke, breaking the silence of the night.
"Yes! It's really dangerous to cross the Dragon Teeth Plain." Da Pan, the nephew of Mosophie, said in a silly voice.
"There are all kinds of dragon beasts in the Dragon Teeth Plains. Ordinary people don't dare to go there." Yun Qi was curious about the strength of the panda people.
Da Pan boasted proudly: "My aunt is known as the most powerful person in the Pandaren tribe who has the greatest potential to become a sanctuary. It is not a problem for her to defeat a Tyrannosaurus Rex."
"Be careful with your words." Mossof's wife twisted her nephew's furry ears.
Yun Qi's heart moved. The strength of the Tyrannosaurus Rex was extraordinary. Although it was not as strong as a fourth-order true dragon, it was enough to be called the ceiling of third-order creatures.
It weighs seven to fifteen tons and has a brutal and aggressive personality.
Legend has it that if the heroes cannot find a real dragon to challenge, they can defeat a full-grown Tyrannosaurus Rex and obtain its skull, then they can claim to have the strength of the Sanctuary.
"In fact, we don't have the strength to easily cross the Dragon Fang Plain. We must be grateful for this heavy snow."
Mosophie's wife's full name is Anke Luzhu. From a human's perspective, she is also very pretty, and can be called the model of beauty among pandas: "During the heavy snow, we just need to wear this white clothes and white hats, and no dragon beast will notice us."
"I see."
After walking for a long time, everyone found themselves back next to the same stone.
We actually got lost. It was dark and we couldn't even confirm the direction. After discussing, we decided to camp where we were.
Taking out their weapons, the pandas cleared the snow under the trees and sat back to back.
Yun Qi was protected in the middle, sitting cross-legged on a mat: "How long did it take you to cross the Dragon Teeth Plain?"
"Seventeen days and nights."
"What about your food? Panda people should have a huge appetite."
"There is no shortage of food in Dragon Teeth Plains. We Pandaren can eat meat as well."
"I see."
The nights spent camping outdoors were really hard to endure. If I hadn’t been surrounded by panda people, if I hadn’t been wearing thick clothes, if I hadn’t been physically stronger than an average person.
Yun Qi had no doubt that he would freeze to death.
It was just daybreak, and after eating some cold steamed buns, everyone set out again.
With Luoxia Mountain as the coordinate, Yun Qi finally brought the team back on track.
"Friend, how many days do we have left to reach Fort Fulin?" An Ke asked the question that all Panda people were eager to know.
"As long as we're heading in the right direction, it will take us a week to get to Fulin Castle, and then we can settle down in Huange Town first." Yun Qi hesitated, looking a little lacking in confidence.
Since she came out to spend the night, she knew she was being reckless. If she had known earlier, she should have gone with the caravan next spring.
"Don't worry, someone in Huange Town will know the way." The panda patted Yun Qi's shoulder comfortingly.
"By the way, why did you go to Fort Fulin at this time of year?"
