Chapter 147: The Village of Thorns

Three days later, Mark completed the purchase of the goods from the two orders and led the team to Storm City with Gu Cheng. In addition to the members of the Oath Caravan, there were also many players of the No. 0. The reason why they accompanied them was that Gu Cheng specially issued several escort tasks "for safety reasons."

However, since Gu Cheng can use it to publish tasks is limited, the rewards for the next few daily tasks can only be random rewards from the system, and the rewards given by the system seem a bit "humble". This led to the eyes of the players who received the tasks looking at Gu Cheng with resentment...

In desperation, Gu Cheng could only give them a little intimacy. The players immediately smiled... I have to say that players are indeed the most "snobbish" creatures for the indigenous people in the game...

The journey from the Atlans to the Barrens is not far, but to go to Storm City, you have to turn from the Southern Barrens to the direction of the Hymn Forest.

Gu Cheng asked Mark to lead the team to the hymn Forest, and he went to the Thorny Village in the South Barren Land.

Compared to going to the Psalm Forest, the route to the Southern Barren Land is more difficult to walk. Although you don’t have to face the storm of the wasteland and you can enter the Southern Barren Land through the business road, walking in the wasteland for a day or two also makes Saint Feather Priests like Sari feel unbearable. Fortunately, the two were not in a hurry, and they would rest fully before setting off the road when they arrived at the Oasis.

Sali spread the map on the ground in the tent, found the location where she was waiting for her and said, "According to the mark on the map, we are already in the last oasis. After walking here to the southeast for a long time, we will enter the barren canyon."

The two of them changed into a cloak that was in desolate wind and sand protection. Sali added Fengxing Technique to herself. Originally, she was also planning to add Fengxing Technique to Gu Cheng, but Gu Cheng refused. First, the physique of Gu Cheng's players did not need it at all. Second, although Fengxing Technique does not consume much magic power, Sali needs to use more magic power next, Gu Cheng believes that "you can save as much as you can."

The two walked in the desert for a long time toward the southeast, and entered the huge barren canyon in the storm of wind and sand. After entering the canyon, the wind and sand in the wasteland became much smaller, and the windproof cloak seemed a little redundant. Then the two walked for more than two hours, and a village built at the bottom of the barren canyon appeared in front of the two. The village built a high fence with desert logs, and the village gate was piled up with rocks.

As soon as he walked to the entrance of the village, several thick, dark-skinned middle-aged men came up.

“Are you travelers?”

Originally, the villagers in Jingthorn Village found that someone had entered the canyon and thought it was a mercenary association that had finally sent someone to clear out the werewolves. Unexpectedly, when these people approached, they found that they were two young men, one man and one woman. They were disappointed and thought they were travelers, but they were just passing by Jingthorn Village to take a break.

Gu Cheng took off his cloak, and after a standard Dark Source Guard gesture, he said, "Hello, we received a reward from the Mercenary Union to help you eliminate the gnolls."

As soon as these words came out, the big man who led the lead said, "Ah? Mercenary? Is it just the only two of you?"

He originally wanted to say "you guys"? But when he thought it seemed a little rude, he quickly changed his question. After all, no matter whether the other party was only two or not, it was already a favor to be willing to go to this desert to rescue them.

"Yes, it's just the two of us."

"But..." The man wanted to speak but stopped: "There are more numerous zombies than you think about it. If it were only you two, I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry, I have helped the Northern Barrens to clear out the werewolves, and only a few hundred were not a problem."

After hearing Gu Cheng say this, the man could only say, "Okay, please come with me, I'll take you to see the village chief."

After saying that, the big man took Gu Cheng and Sali to the village chief's hut.

When he entered the room, Gu Cheng saw the village chief standing in front of the window holding a shabby sheepskin roll. He looked about sixty or seventy years old, with a small figure, arched back, and had a few gray hair left, but he felt very friendly at first sight.

When Gu Cheng entered, the middle-aged man had already informed the village chief about his general experience. When the village chief was young, he had gone out of barren gorges and stayed in Durotan's royal city for a while, so he naturally had a broader understanding than the villagers.

Seeing that Gu Cheng was wearing the costumes of the Dark Source Guard, the village chief not only did not doubt Gu Cheng's strength, but was very respectful to Gu Cheng: "I have come from afar to help us... This is the distribution map of the werewolves village."

As he said that, the village chief spread a sheepskin map on the ground. Near the marks of Thorn Village, there were four patterns marked with the zombie village.

Gu Cheng put away the map, and the old village chief bowed respectfully and said, "The Dark Source Beast God is here! I will gather the young men in the village and accompany the adults to the gnoll village."

"No need, I'll go with her." Gu Cheng refused the village chief's kindness. After all, when he entered the village just now, he looked at the people in the village. Most of the militia were only at level 20-30, and it did not help much to deal with the 35-40 zig.

"This is..." The old village chief hesitated a little.

Gu Cheng seemed to see through the old village chief's concerns and smiled: "Or, you can arrange for us to lead the way."

In the end, the old village chief decided that the militia captain Jackby led Gu Cheng and the others to the gnoll village closest to the village. Jackby is the most familiar person in the village with desert terrain and gnoll habits. He gave him a firewood axe, and he could face more than a dozen gnolls alone and escape without any hell.

The nearest zombie village is not far from Jingthorn Village, and it is only a few kilometers at most. This zombie village has also sent the most troops to attack Jingthorn Village at night in the past month.

The villages of the werewolves are much simpler than those of the Thorn Village. There are almost no fences in the village, and there are only a dozen dilapidated wooden houses.

Looking at the dozen or so gnoll warriors patrolling ahead, Gu Cheng grabbed Jackby who was about to move and ordered: "Stay behind and don't move, don't take action. Sali, you too. Give me a Fengxing technique and a shield of protection, and then stay with him. This time I'll do it alone."

"Sir, this..."

"This is an order."

Gu Cheng knew that no matter how much explanation he explained to Jack, it would be better to be stronger than to be more effective.

"As for the order, sir." Jackby stepped aside respectfully. In fact, he himself knew how powerful the soldiers of the Dark Source Guard were, how could they be injured by the dozen or so gnolls in front of him.

Sali, the queen of Gu Cheng's blessing of Fengxing and the Guardian Shield, worriedly said: "Mr. Reus, do you really want someone...? It's too dangerous!"

Sari had fought with the gnolls several times before. Although these monsters had very low combat power, they were actually very cunning. Besides, she had never seen Gu Cheng's battle much, and she was not very clear about his real strength. As for Gu Cheng, he didn't think so much, he just wanted to get some experience.

"No problem, wait here."

After saying that, Gu Cheng summoned Maoye and Lan Pangpang.

"Meow!!!" shoveler! How long has it been since you let me out for breath? Do you want to suffocate me to death? I want to replace you... Huh? Dried colorful fish! I want to eat! I want to eat!... It smells so good...
