Chapter 855: Unexpected Encounter with an Adventurer Party

Robb couldnt help but laugh, Do the people of the Desert Kingdom have the ability to contact the Demons? Im curious!

Most likely, its the people from the Kingdom of Norma playing tricks, said Elsie.

I think the same way, Elsie continued. From a geopolitical perspective, the Kingdom of Norma cannot allow the Kingdom of Gran to annex the Desert Kingdom without interference. They will certainly send troops. Its common sense. And when they realized that our Westwind Town also sent troops, they knew they couldnt defeat us. So its not surprising that they formed an alliance with the demons.

Alright, I understand! Robb said. You take care of things on your end, and if theres any danger, remember to call me.

Elsie hung up the phone.

Suofa, who was listening nearby, couldnt help but ask in a low voice, Norma has contacted the demons again? They have no shame.

When the weak want to confront the strong, they always come up with various tricks, Robb replied. I dont really mind them trying their best to deal with me, because thats human nature. But cant they have a bit of a human standpoint? Always teaming up with demons is really annoying.

Suofa nodded.

Alright, lets not talk about these unpleasant things, Robb said, reaching out to pull Suofa. Lets take a joyful bath instead. Dont worry, its just a bath. I promise not to do anything youre not prepared for.

Suofa hesitated, Um

Next came the rubbing time

Poor Suofa was rubbed until her whole body went soft and she couldnt stand up. It wasnt until that mischievous guy had rubbed enough that he let her go. He used magic to clean their clothes, dry them, and they put them on again. Then the two of them emerged from the ant hole and continued on to the next mining site.

Robb didnt bother digging for black iron in the ant nest. They already had Titansteel, and black iron was relatively low-level and useless if dug up.

After emerging from the ant hole, Robb could use his scouting skills, expanding his vision to a range of 5,000 yards. The entire plateau was within his field of view.

We are adventurers from the Kingdom of Norma, but dont worry, we are not soldiers and wont attack people from Gran, the warrior said, looking at Robb with a strange expression. Im just curious, do you know where this place is?

Yes, its the Jinghong Mountains, the yellow earth plateau! Robb replied. Its a very dangerous place.

Then why are you venturing further inside? Arent you afraid of death? the warrior asked.

Suofa was about to speak and say, This person is Godfather of Westwind City, but before she could say a word, Robb quietly pulled her, signaling her not to speak hastily. Then, Robb put on a look of sadness and indignation and said, We also know that its very dangerous here, but we have no choice but to enter.

The warrior asked in surprise, Why?

Robb said, As you can see, I am a person from Gran.

And the woman I fell in love with is from the Desert Kingdom. Our love is destined to be not accepted by society. Our families and friends are against it, and the people from the Desert Kingdom even threatened to execute her. So, I took the opportunity during the chaos in the Desert Kingdom and secretly infiltrated it, escaping with her. We had enemies chasing after us, and in order to evade them, we had no choice but to enter the Jinghong Mountains.

The warrior said, You didnt encounter the Giant Ants? There are quite a few of them on the plateau. Weve killed hundreds of them on our way here.

Robb replied, Perhaps the Ants were distracted by your presence and launched an all-out attack against you. We didnt encounter a single one. Were truly grateful to you.

The warrior paused for a moment. It wasnt entirely implausible. There would always be lucky individuals who wouldnt encounter any monsters and could venture deep into the mountains. Although such fortunate individuals were rare, people still managed to win the lottery, right?

Furthermore, considering the ants habit of mobilizing their entire colony to attack a single target, it was highly likely that their group had drawn the attention of the Ants, leading to the situation.

The warrior just felt a bit strange. Their group had only killed a few hundred ants, which was nothing compared to the vast ant population. He didnt understand why there were no more ants bothering them after that.

Robb said, Are you an adventurer? It takes great strength to venture into the Jinghong Mountains! Its fantastic to meet someone like you here. Im willing to offer a sum of money to hire you to protect the two of us from the pursuers.
