"McCome on, you've slowed down our speed again!" Lucius's voice came from the front, with a hint of tremolo after passing through the reflection of the leaves. Zhao Mai snorted, exerted force on his shoulders, lifted his backpack upwards, and tried to follow the footprints in front.

My physical fitness is still a bit poor. I have been sitting and writing books and driving for a long time, and I have been lacking in exercise. Fortunately, after coming to this world, I consciously strengthened my physical fitness training, and at least I returned to my college level of exercise, which may be slightly higher than that. But his foundation is really insufficient and cannot be compared with those who have lived in the wild since childhood.

Besides, I have made enough preparations for this tour. I have a leather armor, a shield, a giant beast musket, a stone-cat rope and a bunch of projectiles, and various ropes that can be used to arrange traps, animal traps, three candles, a large piece of canvas that can play various roles, and even needles and a pot. These things must be fixed with cloth tapes to avoid collisions with each other due to movement and making noises exposed.

These are all knowledge that druids cannot use. In the natural environment, their survivability is very outstanding. Even if they are naked and don’t carry anything, they can survive like vacation and leisure. Lucius has this confidence. He only wore leather armor, bows and spears, completely lightweight, and took the lead. Alfrado brought a backpack, which seemed to contain some bottles and jars, which might be some homemade ointments. Ziyue carried two scimitars on her back, but the weapon she was really familiar with was the blowing arrows on her waist.

Zhao Mai has the largest load, and he also has to take care of the reserve grain. Although the puppy runs faster than Zhao Mai, he often cannot cross some thick tree roots or rugged rocks. It has to be said that Lucius's feline companion is much stronger in terms of climbing mountains and ridges, and the cheetah jumps quickly among the branches, with almost no sound.

Alfra's animal companion is a gibbon, and there is no problem in moving in the forest. Ziyue's companion is an owl. He looks like he is sleeping all day and spends most of the time on Ziyue's shoulders. However, Zhao Mai noticed that every time someone approached, the owl would be able to open his eyes in time and stare at him.

"Mr. Dalle said, take a break in front. Mike, hurry up and keep up, don't drag it out!" Lucius's voice floated over from the front, like a magical sound pouring into his ears.

It was so useless that his voice was completely useless. At least Zhao Mai could always determine the direction of his companion through this. This was a parade, which was actually the most basic patrol mission. Apart from following the Dale Druid to the Ashes Lake to check, it was impossible to determine what else to do. Zhao Mai had already figured it out that this was not an urgent march, and the druid would not let the team break away from his control, so there was no need to push his physical strength to the limit. Retaining some of his strength to deal with emergencies is a safe way.

He gasped heavily, tried hard to adjust his breathing, inhaled rapidly three times and exhaled slowly, which could improve the body's utilization of oxygen. Zhao Mai bent down again and picked up the reserved grain, followed by the path, and swung his legs quickly, and walked around the pile of thorns. If he let the reserved grain go by himself, he would definitely wipe it all over his body with scars.

Dale arranged the other three people by the lake, then turned around and saw this scene: "Mike, have you learned to pass through the forest?"

"I haven't learned it formally, Mr. Dalle. But I've seen Ranger Carl use the Forest Step, so I want to imitate it."

"Oh, Carl, that's my old friend." Dale smiled slightly, "He learned his way through the forest from me, but he also taught me how to use crossbow snipers."

"Uh, do you know each other?" Zhao Mai held up the reserved grain in both hands, "Look, this is a dog meat child, Mr. Carl gave it to me."

"So, he really values ​​you." Dale reached out and helped Zhao Mai to help him restore his body balance, and then walked with him side by side. "I met him fifteen years ago. At that time, his dog meat was as big as your puppy. So many years have passed in a blink of an eye, and I don't know how old he is."

"Fifteen years ago?" Zhao Mai looked up and down at the Dale Druid, then sighed: "Oh, as long as the druid has a thousand faces, he can't see that his age is coming. I thought you were very young."

"I'm not old. According to human standards, it's only thirty years old." Dahler explained: "I have a part of the Qi elemental bloodline and my lifespan will be slightly longer."

"No wonder you like to live in such a high place. If it were me, I would have fallen to death because I was worried that I would fall and die, and I would not be able to fall asleep at all."

The two of them said as they walked, their common Ranger friend obviously narrowed the distance. After walking out of the woods, they came side by side to the river and saw that the other three had begun to collect some firewood and prepare for the camp for overnight stay.

The druid loves the natural environment, but it does not mean that they do not use natural resources. Even if they do not cut down trees, picking up dead branches to make fire is still fine. Zhao Mai put down his backpack and took out a small pot from it. Although Lucius didn't say it, he also knew in his heart that this pot was very helpful in improving their living standards.

They were right next to the smoky river, where the water always floated with a strange black and gray oil, which tasted nauseous. It is said that this was related to the environment of the upper Stovar Plateau and the Ravenland. The land was once ruled by powerful arcanes in ancient times, and later destroyed by their fall. The beasts and wilderness began to have long notices, and it was not until recent hundreds that civilization gradually recovered some territory.

The huge alchemy factory and countless mud creatures are still polluting the water of the oil smoke river until now. Fortunately, these waters are just undrinkable and have no toxicity in them, so there is no problem for irrigation. Otherwise, the entire raven would not have vegetation at all, let alone villages.

"On the other side of the river is Raven Yuan. You can turn back to the south and go to the vicinity of Wolf-Ear Town." The druid said to the four apprentices: "I will watch you in the next journey, but I won't be with you. You can't get lost by following this river. But if that happens, you can also go to Wolf-Ear Town for help - as long as you accept the result of the failed parade mission."

Walking along the river, you will not have to worry about drinking water and food, nor will you lose your direction. This is already the easiest task of survival in the wild. Zhao Mai scooped a pot of water and purified the food inside, which could greatly reduce the original disgusting smell. Ziyue's owl flew out and caught a snake in a short while. She only applauded happily, but Zhao Mai scratched his hair, not sure if the owl had this function.

Everyone knows that this meal tonight was the last meal that Dale had with them, so he was very attentive. Avra ​​caught a catfish, and Lucius's cheetah brought back two pheasants. Zhao Mai didn't have the strength to catch the prey, but he secretly put some salt in the soup.
