Familiar Boss

Chapter 181 A Boring Journey

"It seems that other mercenaries have entered this forest earlier than us. It would be great to meet them!" Dilongka's partner said excitedly.

"There should be nothing here, don't you guys have a good rest? We will continue on our way later." Captain Will turned around and glanced at Di Longka and the five of them.

"Let's go, go to sleep for a while." Su Ke turned around instantly, whispered to Di Longka, and returned to the place where everyone was resting.

Di Longka and the others also turned around one after another, took a last look at the inscription magic pattern on the ground, glanced at Captain Will, and followed Su Ke's direction.

The team rested for almost half a day, and almost everyone had recovered their physical strength and their own state, so Will let the team set off and move on.

They continued to move forward in this forest. The area of ​​this forest was indeed very large. After walking for a long time, they were still in the forest.

During the half-day journey, everything was very peaceful, and the team did not encounter any goblins, ogres or other monsters again.

But this also confused Su Ke, because they shuttled through the forest full of trees, but they didn't encounter any other wild creatures, and they didn't even hear a bird call.

This unusual situation had to make Su Ke feel puzzled. He felt that apart from these trees, there might not even be an ant here.

"This forest is very strange." Su Ke said in a low voice to Di Longka who was walking beside him.

Di Longka didn't know what Su Ke meant by strangeness, so he asked, "Why is it strange?"

"Have you noticed that since we entered this forest, apart from the demonized goblins and ogres we encountered last night, we have not encountered any creatures, not even a bird's cry heard."

As soon as Su Ke finished speaking, Di Longka tried his best to recall it, and realized it, and said, "It seems that what you said is indeed true. I don't really notice it if you don't say it."

"That's right! We haven't encountered any animals in such a large mountain forest. It's been a day and a night, and it's going to be night soon."

Henry Tandy didn't know when he had been following Su Ke, but he suddenly caught up and interrupted.

Su Ke glanced at Henry Tandy with disgust, but said nothing.

Soon night fell again, and it was darker in the forest than in the open fields.

"Everyone, light the torches! Move quickly!" Captain Will turned around and ordered.

The soldiers of the Vanguard Corps executed very quickly, and immediately stopped to light their own torches.

The mercenaries behind the line moved a little slower, but they also lit torches one after another.

"Hey! I said, can we rest at night and continue on our way during the day?" Suddenly a mercenary raised his opinion.

"That's right! We can't see anything in the dark. Traveling is too slow and consumes energy. If we suddenly encounter a monster, our vision will be limited and our combat effectiveness will be much weaker than during the day!"

Captain Will heard the opinions raised by these mercenaries at this time, which made sense.

Under normal circumstances, the soldiers of these vanguard legions under him would not dare to raise any opinions with him, because the soldiers only knew that everything was under his orders, and absolute execution was enough.

Captain Will thought for a while and listened to the opinions of these mercenaries.

"Okay! After lighting the torches, everyone should disperse a little bit, rest where they are, and be responsible for the safety of their surroundings. If there is any movement, quickly send out an alarm!"

After Captain Will finished speaking, he turned around and whispered to Ji Ji: "Find a few people to set up a guard 20 meters away."

"Yes!"

The mercenaries relaxed and happily boasted and chatted with each other.

Su Ke now plays with the little dragon whenever he has time, gradually building up a relationship and guiding it in a simple way.

After Xiaolong got acquainted with Su Ke, he was very willing to accept Su Ke's instruction. It could watch Su Ke's gestures and passwords and do some actions.

When Su Ke was walking during the day, he also held it in his arms, trying to make it fly, but failed.

He knew that flying was not easy for Xiaolong, and he definitely couldn't learn it in a while.

Su Ke first made it familiar with the feeling of spreading its wings, and after slowly letting it swing its wings, it felt the feeling of the wind, and one day it would understand.

This night also passed very peacefully, and as soon as the next morning dawned, Captain Will ordered the team to set off.

For several days, they traveled during the day and rested at night, but they still did not get out of the forest.

Captain Will held a compass in his hand and was heading in the same direction, so he was very sure that they didn't turn around in circles or take any detours.

During their journey in the past few days, they found several large and small open spaces, which were also formed after the surrounding trees were cut down.

Moreover, the middle of the open space is also full of charcoal ashes from trees that have been burned by the fire, and some bones that have not been completely burned.

"When are we going to get out of this damn forest?"

"I've been walking for several days. If this continues, I'm going crazy!"

Still in this forest for so many days, walking and walking all day long, without monster attacks, these mercenaries are obviously tired of such boring and boring days.

"There's nothing but trees here, and I haven't even seen a rabbit or a bird. I haven't eaten meat for a few days, and I'm about to die of hunger. Can you kill a horse and let us eat horse meat?"

"That's right! You have so many horses, kill one and let us all eat it together!"

These mercenaries only carry some food that can be stored for a long time, and they don't bring meat food.

They thought that they would encounter wolves, rabbits, birds and beasts on the road to eat, but the reality was that they didn't even see a single bird or beast in this huge and dense forest.

They are very greedy now, and have been eyeing the horses of Captain Will and his cavalry for a long time. Only today did some people start to ask Captain Will and others for help.

It is absolutely impossible for Captain Will to kill horses to feed these mercenaries. Horses are very good fighting partners for them.

"If any of you dare to mention the person who killed our horses again, I will kill him now and roast his meat for everyone to eat!"

Captain Will pulled the horse under his seat, turned around and looked at the mercenaries seriously. After saying this, his eyes swept across the cheeks of each mercenary coldly.

Hearing Commander Will's words, the mercenaries fell silent and only looked at him with a smile.

"Hurry up, everyone. If we're lucky, maybe we can walk out of this forest today and arrive at Wembley Grassland. You can have whatever meat you want, including cows, sheep, horses, etc., everything!"
