Chapter 19 19. Homeward Journey
The next day, we set off again.
After crossing the stream, Zoe led fifty people away first.
Lodel asked them to rush to Huange Town as soon as possible to buy food and supplies, and to contact the maid's family.
Lovey originally wanted to go with them, but Lodel wouldn't let him, saying that he would hold the team back and waste everyone's time.
Lovey had no choice but to stay.
He walked slowly, waiting for an opportunity for Lodel to briefly divert his attention.
"Mosophie, can I recruit Misha as a maid?"
He pushed the panda butler's belly, and the two of them quietly moved away from Lodel.
Mo Sufei hesitated, "Master, she doesn't seem to be old enough."
"Then be a maid assistant first?" Lovi asked tentatively.
"There is no such position." Mosophie scratched his head and found that Lodel was staring at him coldly, so he kept silent.
The team moved slowly. As they moved away from the hilly area where goblins were present, wild beasts began to appear around them.
A dragon beast with a long neck suddenly appeared in people's sight.
It ignored the humans passing by and leisurely nibbled on the branches and leaves of the big tree.
"Diplodocus, a relatively common species of earth dragon, weighs about ten to fifteen tons."
Laudel raised his eyebrows, and was a little eager to try. But after careful consideration, he decided not to make things more complicated.
The bigger the organism, the stronger its vitality. If the Diplodocus is not killed quickly, it will go crazy. The nearby team will definitely suffer heavy casualties.
Lodel removed his hand from the scabbard and looked for his next prey.
After a moment, her eyes locked on the bushes several hundred meters away.
Several large black and brown wild boars were nibbling on tender leaves and berries.
Lodel approached, pretending to be harmless.
When the distance was less than 100 meters, the wild boars raised their heads and shouted warningly at Lodel.
The wild boar leader lowered his head deeply and raised his hind legs to stir the soil.
Its body size is approximately close to one ton, but the momentum of its collision is far beyond what a one-ton body weight can achieve.
This is a magical beast that has awakened the power of elements.
The innate ability is to attach earth elements to the body surface, increasing defense and multiplying body weight.
Generally speaking, even Nanotyrannosaurus would not want to provoke such an opponent.
Lodel drew her sword, her figure as light as a butterfly, and she leaped and landed gracefully on the back of the wild boar leader.
Hold the sword with both hands and stab downward.
The sharp blade surrounded by sword energy accurately pierced the spine and penetrated the heart.
The wild boar leader howled miserably and fell sideways to the ground.
Lodel jumped down in time. Her silver light armor was stained with bright red blood. She frowned slightly.
The battle is over. The guards cheer for Lordel's bravery.
"Lord Lodel is truly powerful, even more powerful than the strongest warrior in our tribe." Lan Lan said with admiration.
Luo Wei took the opportunity to push the panda butler's round belly again, "Mosuofei, how about I take Mixia as my apprentice?"
Mosuofei thought about it and said, "This is a good idea, Master."
Without even saying hello, Lodel suddenly disappeared.
The logistics personnel spontaneously gathered around to deal with the wild boar carcass, while the rest of the people rested where they were.
About half an hour later, Lodel appeared leisurely.
She strode towards Lovi. Her wet clothes were casually draped over her arms. She was only wearing soft armor, and her snow-white skin was dazzling in the sun.
"Lovi, help me dry it."
"Can you change your clothes? It takes a lot of effort to dry them."
"Just do it if you want, stop talking nonsense."
Luo Wei reluctantly raised his hand and placed it in front of Luo Deer's underwear. A light mist quickly gathered into a water ball in his palm. He suddenly threw it to the side, "Okay."
Laudel thanked me proudly, "I don't have any change of clothes, otherwise I wouldn't bother you."
"Please, don't do this kind of thing in the future. The mental power of a spellcaster is very precious, okay?" Lovey felt a little dizzy and raised his hand as if to press his forehead.
"Sorry." Lodel was silent, opened her arms and hugged Lovey tightly.
Lovey forgave her.
After the wild boar was dealt with, everyone continued on their journey home.
Today seemed to be smoother, the team was obviously moving faster, making up for the previous waiting time.
Arrive at the planned camping location before nightfall.
Lodel was in a good mood and ordered the wild boar meat to be distributed.
When the bonfire was lit, the atmosphere in the camp was relaxed and joyful.
At night, there was an attack.
The elusive Shadow Panther took the life of a maid.
The guard in charge of night watch discovered the abnormality in time and successfully captured the body of the maid.
However, the Shadow Panther escaped.
The camp was filled with panic all night long. It was not until the daybreak that the tension eased a little.
Lovi looked at the dark circles under Lodel's eyes in confusion, "Didn't you sleep last night?"
"It's okay." Lodel pretended to be calm.
After the team set off, she urged them to speed up.
The mysterious and primitive forest may encounter crises at any time.
For example, a guard was accidentally stung by a poisonous bee and his entire arm became swollen.
Similar things include poisonous scorpions and centipedes on the ground.
However, Lowe's presence always allows the team to avoid danger in advance.
The coverage area of spiritual power cannot be hidden even deep underground.
Just one day had passed and dark clouds appeared in the sky again.
Lovey had a premonition that it would rain, and as expected, it rained at night.
Perhaps because it rained a few days ago, the rain was not heavy this time, but it lasted until dawn.
Everything in the forest became wet.
Braving the light rain, the team continued to move forward.
As time passed, the rain quickly soaked people's clothes and quickly took away their body temperature.
Lodel noticed that some people were beginning to give up, so he had to order the team to rest.
Luo Wei hid in the tent, hugging Lan Lan's tail to keep warm. His teeth kept chattering.
The cold clothes continued to make me feel cold. When the chilly morning breeze blew, I felt like my soul was about to ascend to heaven.
Without caring about the consumption of his mental energy, he drained the moisture out of his clothes and finally felt a little relieved.
The rain stopped at noon and the sky was clear.
Taking advantage of such good weather, we kept on traveling until late at night.
Finally walked out of the forest.
"The journey is over." Lovi felt a little lonely. He took the bamboo tube handed over by Mosophie and looked up at the stars above his head while drinking water.
On a cloudless night, the starry sky is shining.
The dark blue moon emits a soft light.
Luo Wei stared at it without blinking, and unknowingly drank all the water in the bamboo tube.
Put down the bamboo tube and return it to Mossofi.
"Master, do you miss home?"
“I really want to, but I can’t go back.”
"Yeah, me too."
