Chapter 60

"Mike, keep up. You've slowed us down again!" Lucius' voice came from the front, reflected by the leaves, with a tremor. Zhao Mai snorted, shoulder power, the backpack force up a lift, trying to follow the footprints in front of forward.

My physical fitness is still a little poor. I sit for a long time writing books and driving, and I have been lack of exercise. Fortunately, after coming to this world, I consciously strengthened the cultivation of physical fitness, at least recovered to the level of sports during the University, and maybe slightly exceeded it. But his foundation is really insufficient, which can't be compared with those who have lived in the wild since childhood.

Besides, I've made enough preparations for this cruise. A leather armor, a shield, a huge toothed beast fire gun, a sling and a pile of bullets, as well as various ropes and traps that can be used to set traps, three candles, a large piece of canvas that can play various roles, and even a needle and thread and a pot. These things should be fixed with cloth belt to avoid collision and noise of exposed position due to movement.

These are knowledge that the Druids can't use. In the natural environment, their survival ability is very outstanding. Even if they are naked and don't bring anything, they can still survive as if they were on holiday. Lucius had this confidence. He was wearing only leather armour, with bow and spear. He was completely light and ahead of the rest. Alfredo brought a backpack, which seemed to contain some bottles and cans, maybe some homemade ointment. Ziyue carries two machetes on her back, but the weapon she is really familiar with is the arrow blowing around her waist.

Zhao Mai's burden is the biggest. At the same time, he has to take care of the grain reserves. Although the dog's running speed is faster than Zhao Mai, but he often can't turn over some thick roots or craggy rocks. It has to be said that Lucius' feline companions are much better at climbing mountains and mountains. Cheetahs jump fast among the branches and make almost no sound.

Afra's animal companion is a gibbon, and there is no problem in the forest. Purple moon's partner is an owl. It seems that she sleeps all day, and most of the time depends on her shoulder. However, Zhao Mai noticed that every time someone approached, the owl would be able to open its eyes in time and keep staring.

"Mr. dalle said, take a rest in front. Come on, Mike. Don't procrastinate Lucius' voice floated from the front like a demon.

It can't be said that his voice is totally useless. At least Zhao Mai can determine the direction of his companion through this. This is a patrol, which is actually the most basic patrol task. Apart from following the daladruid to the lake of ashes to have a look, there is no way to be sure of anything else. Zhao Mai has long understood that this is not an urgent March, and the druids will not let the team out of their control, so there is no need to push their physical strength to the limit. Only by retaining part of our strength can we deal with emergencies. This is a safe way.

Take a big breath, try to adjust your breathing, inhale three times and exhale one time slowly, which can improve the body's utilization of oxygen. Zhao Mai leaned down again and picked up the grain reserve. After seeing the right path, he quickly swung his legs around a pile of thorns. If you let the grain reserve go by itself, it will be covered with scars.

Dale arranged for the other three people by the lake, then turned back and saw this scene: "Mike, have you ever learned to walk in the woods?"

"Not officially, Mr. dalle. But I've seen Carl the Ranger use the trot, so I want to imitate it. "

"Oh, Carl, that's my old friend." Dale said with a smile, "he learned his steps from me, but he also taught me how to use the crossbow to snipe."

"Well, do you know each other?" Zhao Mai held up the grain reserves in his hands. "You see, this is a child of dog meat. Mr. Carr gave it to me."

"So he really thinks highly of you." Dale reaches for Zhao Mai to help him regain his balance, and then walks with him side by side. "I met him 15 years ago, when his dog was as big as your dog. After so many years, I don't know how old he is. "

"Fifteen years ago?" Zhao Mai looked up and down at the Druids, then sighed: "Alas, as long as the druids have a thousand faces, they can't see their age any more. I thought you were young

"I'm not big. By human standards, I'm only 30 years old." "I'm a part of the Qi family, and I'll live a little longer," dahler explained

"No wonder you like to live so high. If it was me, I would not be able to sleep at all because I was worried about falling to death. "

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

Druids love the natural environment, but it doesn't mean they don't use natural resources. Even if you don't cut down trees, it's OK to pick up dead branches to make a fire. Zhao Mai put down his backpack and took out a small pot from it. Although Lucius didn't say it, he knew in his heart that this pot was very helpful to improve their living standard.

They are right next to the Youyan River, where the water is always covered with a strange layer of black and gray grease, which makes people nauseous. It is said that this is related to the environment of the stova plateau and the Raven plain. Once that land was ruled by powerful arcane masters in ancient times, and later it was destroyed because of their depravity. The wild animals and the wild began to notice for a long time. It was only in the last few hundred years that civilization gradually regained some territory.Huge alchemy factories and countless slime organisms are still polluting the water of Youyan river. Fortunately, the water is just hard to drink. There's no toxicity in it. It's no problem to irrigate. Otherwise, the whole Raven would have no vegetation, let alone a village.

"On the other side of the river is the Raven plain. You go south until you get to Langer town. Then you can turn your head and go back." Druid said to the four apprentices, "I'll look at you for the rest of the journey, but I won't be with you. You can't get lost along the river. But if that happens, you can also go to wolf ear for help - as long as you accept the failure of the cruise mission

Walking along the river, you won't worry about water and food, and you won't lose your way. This is the simplest field survival task. Zhao Mai scooped up a pot of water and applied purified grain to it, which could greatly reduce the original nausea. The owl of purple moon flew out and soon caught a snake. She only applauded happily, but Zhao Mai scratched her hair and was not sure if the owl had this function.

As we all know, this dinner tonight is the last meal Dale will have with them, so he is very attentive. Afra catches a catfish and Lucius' cheetah brings back two pheasants. Zhao Mai had no strength to catch the prey, but he secretly put more salt in the soup.

The Druids were full of praise for the meal.
