Green Monster Epic

Chapter 210: A Distant Adventure (Fifth Update!!)

Time flows quickly. In the blink of an eye, only a month remains until the Month of Radiance. Just as Saru had told Allen before, the five stars belonging to the Star God constellation in the night sky were indeed slowly moving, forming a straight vertical line hanging above the galaxy.

"It's time for us to set off. It's still several thousand miles to the Misty Forest!"

As the time for the opening of the ruins approached, Saru's mood became somewhat anxious. Although life in Green Lake Village was good, especially the food, which Saru was particularly satisfied with, the thought of the ruins, said to contain a Warrior's inheritance, opening soon made it impossible for Saru to remain calm.

"Okay, I'll get ready."

Allen remained unmoved, as if the matter of the ruins was not as important in his eyes as one might imagine.

In fact, Allen had already arranged almost everything that needed to be arranged. In particular, he personally led A-Xiao's team, which was establishing the mine, and gave A-Xiao detailed instructions on how to plan the mine, and told him to listen to Philip's advice. Although Allen knew that A-Xiao had never thought much of Philip, Philip and the stonemason Hardy were the only ones in the clan besides himself with some knowledge of construction.

Allen had also discussed with Hua She and A-Xiao the rotation of the team stationed at the mine after its completion, the slaves' rest periods, and so on. Looking back now, it seems that there is nothing else Allen needs to add. Thinking of this, Allen felt a little lost, but he quickly adjusted his mood and began to take stock of the things he needed to bring for this adventure.

The greatsword naturally had to be taken. Ke'er is still young and cannot use such a heavy broadsword. As the custodian, Allen certainly couldn't let such a good weapon rust in the dust. The dragon scale also had to be taken. Since the last time he used this palm-sized dragon scale to kill an opponent stronger than himself, Allen had already devised many ways in his mind to seemingly trade his life for his opponent's, but in reality, using the dragon scale to counter-kill them.

There were also some scattered scrolls, and he brought some healing and antidote potions, and even two books of magic contracts in case of emergency.

Apart from these, it seemed that there was nothing else to bring on a long journey. Of course, there was also the bag of coins seized from Saru, worth about 4-50 gold coins, which should be enough for Allen and the others to use.

In addition to this, Allen also brought spicy fruits and seasoning made from dried yellow roots mixed with coarse salt, intending to use them for barbecue in the wild.

On the first day of the Green Field Moon, Allen, urged by Saru, finally set off. The decision to leave the village was only known to the 7-8 key members of the village besides Allen. Therefore, when Allen and Saru walked out of the village at dawn, only Camellia and A-Xiao and a few others saw them off, without disturbing the others in the village.

"Let's go. We don't know how long we'll be delayed on this trip. The content on that stone tablet only said that the ruins passage would open in the Month of Radiance, but it didn't say how long the specific time was or where the passage was located. We'll have to go to the site and explore it ourselves."

Allen stood on the bare gravel ground of the wilderness, looking at the vague outline of Green Lake Village on the northern horizon, and only withdrew his gaze after Saru urged him.

"It's like this the first time you go out on an adventure. When I first came out on an adventure, I even missed home and wanted to cry halfway!"

Seemingly to comfort Allen, Saru even told the embarrassing story of his youth.

"Then you're really a softie!"

Allen looked up and said a very hurtful sentence expressionlessly, causing Saru's face to turn the color of feces on the spot.

"I just wanted to see what it felt like to look at Green Lake Village from this direction."

Allen would naturally not admit that he was a little timid. After all, he had lived in this familiar place for so many years. Now, for the first time, he was venturing into the wilderness alone, and he didn't know when he would be able to return. It was normal for a young man who had just turned twenty to feel a little apprehensive.

Saru himself was not very clear about the direction of the Misty Forest. He only knew a general idea, so Allen and the others needed to first find the Mansha Corridor in the southeast direction, then follow the direction of the corridor, and then find a way to inquire about the location of the Misty Forest.

The further they traveled towards the central area of the Mansha Wilderness, the more lush the vegetation became, and at the same time, streams converged or diverged, dyeing the original earthy yellow wilderness into a dark green color. If the natural environment of the Green Field Plain was more like the desolate scene in American Western cowboy movies on Earth, then the central part of the Mansha Wilderness was like the African savanna after the rainy season, full of vitality everywhere.

Active vitality also meant more danger. Ferocious beasts such as violent lions, hyenas, and lynx, which were rare in the Green Field Plain, were encountered by Allen and the others almost every day in this fertile land in the central area of the Mansha Wilderness. Sometimes, if they were not careful, a violent lion would rush out, its stinking mouth pouncing straight at Allen's fragile neck, wanting to tear his throat in one bite.

Of course, the final result was self-evident. Allen, who had now reached the peak of the intermediate level, could easily kill a violent lion head-on, it was just a little troublesome.

"Good luck today, we got this rhino cow, we can have an extra meal tonight!"

Hunting has always been Saru's job. Who told him that as a Shadow Warrior, he could approach the target faster and give it a fatal blow? Of course, the deeper reason was that Saru was completely inferior to Allen in technical work such as barbecue, especially when Allen brushed the special seasoning from his bag onto the grilled meat, the taste was simply amazing.

Taking advantage of the little light left at dusk, Saru neatly cleaned a whole cow by the stream, removing the useless internal organs and burying them on the spot, while the excess blood flowed downstream along the stream. Then, he inserted the four prepared Y-shaped branches horizontally at both ends of the bonfire, and two arm-thick wooden strips passed through the 4 cow legs, placing them on the bonfire to start roasting. The whole movement was smooth and flowing, and the training in the past half month was indeed not small.

Allen didn't have high requirements for the size of the prey. For the two of them, the amount of food they ate and the energy accumulated in their bodies, eating a little more or a little less was the same.

Not long after the whole cow was placed on the grill, an aroma began to waft out, dissipating into the distance with the breeze, and even arousing the figures of wild beasts in the bushes on the horizon.

"Awoo ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"

A melodious prairie wolf began the hunting horn as the night approached. Allen and the others, who were already used to these wild beasts howling, were not surprised at all and remained focused on the prey in front of them.

"Awoo ~ ~ ~ ~"

"Awoo ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"

"Swish ~ ~ ~ Swish ~ ~"

It was not until the sound of the wolf howls rose and fell and continued to approach, and the faint rustling sound飘荡 over in the air, that Allen and Saru realized that something was wrong.
