"Be careful on the road, and Baima Town has a new mayor." Jeros called everyone together, and everyone squeezed each other together, just like Jeros' eyebrows tied together. "The new ruler calls himself Earl Bute, but this is probably a random title. There may be new rules in the new place, so be honest and don't cause trouble."

"Boss, can you bypass Baima Town?"

Geros shook his head: "There is no suitable road, and we will pass there sooner or later. It's not just for us, but also for several other teams of the Golden Dog Chamber of Commerce, who always pass through White Horse Town. It is said that this Earl Bute had fought with the previous rulers. I guess they might have some spoils to take, and maybe they could make a little profit."

Since it was possible to make a little profit, everyone's objections were reduced a lot, and everyone began to think about the issue of gold coins. Jerouse called Tess away, and the two of them entered the town, probably to discuss the matter of Baima Town. Dagon watched them leave. Although he had never been to Baima Town and did not know who Boot was, he was now feeling uneasy.

The best way to eliminate uneasiness is to make yourself stronger. After eating the melons, Dagon went to the town to buy the three melons mentioned by his mother, plus a large bundle of straw and a wooden pole as thick as a fist. He used a rope, straw and cloth pad to make a dummy target, which was a pole in the middle, with thick straw tied around it, and then put a layer of cloth on it. The target stood beside the convoy, and Dagon started practicing slingshots with it.

The manager of the Black Coal Grocery Store indeed gave him a powerful slingshot. The grip of the tongue structure strengthened and the cable that was probably removed from the strong bow gave the weapon the effect of arm strength training. Dagon tried it, and he could only use all his strength to pull it full, and the projectile shot from the slingshot could actually make a sound like a crossbow arrow breaking through the air.

Of course, the crossbow arrow is small in size, sharp in front, and has greater lethality, but it is easier to make sounds without round projectiles. Dagon conducted an experiment on the target, and the slingshot that was pulled with all his strength actually smashed through the thin cloth outside and the straw with two fists at a distance of ten meters, leaving a mark of impact on the thick rod in the center. It is logical that the thin cloth and straw have a good protection against the blunt impact caused by the spherical projectiles, and it is actually a bit unexpected.

If such a great damage is caused, the interest in practicing it will be even higher. Dagon hopes to have a relatively stable hit at a distance of about twenty meters, which requires a lot of practice. Fortunately, the projectiles of the slingshot are cheaper and can be replaced with stones. This pair of slingshots also includes two replacement bowstrings, which is enough for him to find out the feel.

Bang bang bang, Dagon began to destroy the straw dummy, and one was broken in half a day. He thought that if he did not use stone projectiles, but iron beads with larger density and smaller volume, the power and accuracy should be able to reach a higher level. Fortunately, this is the border guard fortress of the Jiangu tribe. The blacksmiths have very good skills. They used wax casting method to make a batch of iron beads for Dagon, which basically ensured that the size and weight were consistent, but it was not round enough. This doesn't matter. Dagon can polish it slowly by himself, and anyway, he bought tools such as whetstone.

Geros and Tess came back the next afternoon, both of them looked serious, and it seemed that the problem was quite big. Everyone, including Dagon, prepared all self-defense equipment, rummaged through boxes and cabinets to take out leather armor, heart protection mirrors, and of course helmets of different shapes.

The various helmets made the Golden Dog Caravan look like a miscellaneous army. Seeing this, Geros forbids them from wearing helmets on the road and could only be placed at a distance not far away and used when they were in danger.

"The messy equipment looks more like a robber!" Jeros raised the flag of the Golden Dog Caravan high, and the golden snake-headed golden retriever fluttered in the wind. "It is necessary to let people know that we are a caravan, and the caravan will bring prosperity and taxes, and every ruler knows this."

Indeed, the Golden Dog Caravans have to pay taxes every time they enter and leave the city, so they have to make enough money in every town, otherwise they will lose money. Dagon can practice using slingshots wholeheartedly, while others are working hard to do business. The goods brought from Mopan City, especially the tools commonly used by dwarves and the latest and best-quality crop seeds, were warmly welcomed. And in places where Dagon could not see, some higher-value, or nearly smuggling, were also underway, so as to maintain the operation of the caravan.

After staying in the Horse Fort for three days, the Golden Dog Caravan set out according to the plan, leaving the territory of the Jiangu tribe and entering the territory of human beings.

There are more farmland on both sides of the road. Although the fields seem sparse and the people working are a little listless under the scorching sun, they are always much better than those left in a row. The road under the wheels has also changed from gravel roads to sandy roads. It is said that such roads are more suitable for riding horses.

Hiding under the canvas tent, Dagon continued his travel rhythm of resting during the day and paying for the night at night, but the weather was getting hotter and hotter, which made him a little unbearable. Jian Gucheng was located underground and could not feel the changes in the seasons, nor did the rotation of the sun and the moon. The temperature during the day made Dagon not want to wear armor, nor even wearing thin clothes, but just wanted to be naked. It was just that the warning that the road might be uneasy made him be careful and must not indulge himself.

In order to cope with the hot weather, Luxiga cook prepared mung bean soup for everyone, instead of hot water every morning, and poured it into everyone's water bag. This mung bean soup must be finished every day, otherwise it will cause the water bag to be stained with a strange smell and will be difficult to remove. But as long as you drink it, everyone will feel much more comfortable, greatly reducing the symptoms of heat stroke.

On the fourth day after leaving Sanma Castle, the weather suddenly changed. When I woke up early, I felt a cool breeze, as if I was about to sweep the heat. The sun was blocked by the clouds that day, and only a hazy ball of light shone on the dark clouds. Jeros said it was going to rain.

Dagon had never seen it rain, but had heard of it, and was very curious. He knew that a lot of water would fall from the sky, but he didn't know that there would be strong wind before the rain. While the sky suddenly turned black, wind was blowing from all directions. The trees, shrubs, grass and crops on the roadside made different crying, and the horses in the convoy also became extremely nervous. In the air, both water and fire elements became extremely active, and you could feel the huge pressure coming from your head. Jeros stood in the carriage and shouted: "No one is allowed to practice mana, especially the gold and wood elements! The convoy accelerates, and we need to find a place to shelter from the rain and lightning!"

Where is such a place on the road? Even if there is a wind and rain, the convoy will not wait for the convoy to arrive. With a few dazzling lightning, the sky burped a lot, and then the raindrops poured down. Dagon had seen the underground river and the underground waterfalls, but he felt that there were waterfalls everywhere outside, and water was pouring down everywhere, without any hesitation.

The horse was frightened by the thunder and raised its head and neighed. Fortunately, all the cars had been tied together with chains before, and the moving horses were tied to each other, and no one could lose them. Everyone in the convoy took action, controlled the horses, checked the goods, and tied the canvas that blocked the water. The road became muddy, but it was better to walk than entering the fields next to it.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and soon the sight became hazy. The road had completely turned into mud, and the carriages began to slip, and they often moved sideways suddenly. Thunder and lightning began to attack the ground, and the woods in the distance had already produced unlucky bad luck. A ball of fire suddenly rose and was then extinguished by heavy rain. Then there was a huge thunder and a faint sound of trees collapsed.

Dagon began to feel uncomfortable, and he felt like he fell into Koushui Gorge again. The rain was soaked and the canvas tent fell down. The wind lifted the door curtain and rolled up the rain and swept it from the side, immediately reminiscing his memory of ups and downs and floating in the ice water.

For a long time, from falling from Gushui Gorge to hooking the ambush on the shore, there is no memory of what happened in this period. Dagon only knew that he had hit something, most likely Barde, occupied by the corpse demon, and then fell into the water. He remembered the coldness, he remembered the stuffiness, and then he remembered the darkness in front of him. The rain came from above, the rain came from the side, and the double attack revived his memory. The feeling of struggle and despair was surrounded again.

Dagon squatted in the carriage, hugging himself tightly, trembling. The cold for no reason spread from his body surface, as if he was going to freeze him into an ice man this summer. His teeth began to fight, and even his white breath began to frost on his beard. Star Helmet quickly crawled out, rushed to Dagon's face, and stared at Dagon's eyes with his big eyes.

At the beginning, Dagon didn't see Star Helmet. He seemed to be blind, as if he only saw the churning frozen river and the floating ice that collided with each other. At this time, Star Helmet stuck out his tongue and hit Dagon's eyes. The strong stimulation suddenly hurt him, so his pupils began to adjust and contract normally, and tears flowed, but Dagon saw the bear lizard.

"You fell down too... Wait, I'm not in Koushui Gorge, I'm in the carriage." Dagon gasped violently, and realized that he had exhaled cold air, which was a sign of a problem with the mana operation. "I survived from Koushui Gorge. The Gorge did not kill me, but I almost scared myself to death. Dagon, you are so embarrassing!"

Shame made Dagon angry, and his anger ignited the flames in his body, and the imagined cold was quickly dispelled. He picked up the Star Helmet, kissed him hard, and then stuffed it back under his beard. Just as the Star Helmet was rubbing his mouth with his front paws, Dagon took out a bottle of "dwarf spirits", took three sips to tons, and used the spicy energy to completely warm himself up.

The curtain of the tent was lifted, and Luciga jumped up in the mud and hung himself on the wall of the car. "I'll see you, have you seen it raining, have you? Such heavy rain is very rare, I haven't seen it a few times. How do you feel?"

"I was scared just now, but now it's much better." Dagon stretched out his hand and wanted to pull the already wet Rucigara up.

"I won't go up and I still have work to do. Unfortunately, all my salted fish will probably be put away for a long time." Luciga said with a smile: "If you feel uncomfortable, just shout hard. Swear the heavy rain and you will feel much better. But don't stand on the roof of the car, it's easy to attract thunder. By the way, it will be safer to remove all the metal items on your body."

Dagon pointed at his beard ring.

"The Xuhuan is fine, it does not attract thunder. God Aoli blesses us. Although we are only a dozen centimeters shorter than humans on average, thunder always strikes them first."

"Haha, I feel much better when you say that." Dagon stood up in the carriage, checked that there were no metal items on it, and then put on the rain hat that Luciga reminded him to buy. "I am afraid of rain. So much water comes from above, and I feel like I will drown me. But I am afraid of coming from strangers. I will meet the heavy rain more often and overcome it, and I will not be afraid."

He jumped out of the car and stood firmly on the ground. The boots made of muddy leather were indeed not afraid of mud. Dagon just felt that his steps were a little heavier, and there was no discomfort. "I will help you down. What else do you have to do? I'll help you!"

"Good boy." Luciga jumped down, and when she slipped under her feet, she was caught by Dagon and didn't fall to the ground. "Okay, I'll take care of me so quickly? Come on, let's see if the specific work is not easy!"
