Northwest Continent, Spiritual Wilderness
"It really feels like a world away."
Mo Tan opened his eyes in the greenery, subconsciously raised his hand to cover the sun, and sighed in a low voice: "It's only been one day... eh?"
His eyes suddenly widened mid-sentence, then he sat up suddenly and looked around the surroundings with a slightly stiff expression.
Lush green grass, unknown small trees, chirping birds, fresh earthy fragrance...
At first glance, there was nothing wrong, and I had indeed logged off at this place before. There was even a pile of symbolic bonfire embers not far away.
But the point is...
"Where's my tent?"
Mo Tan jumped up from the soft grass and looked around at the empty scene... In fact, it was not empty, but at least there was no such thing as a tent. He was shocked. Then he was stunned for two seconds, and then suddenly
He turned around and looked at the crooked-neck tree that should theoretically be behind him.
Well, the crooked neck tree is still there, but...
"Where's my horse?!"
Mo Tan exclaimed again and strode to the crooked-neck tree where the horse was supposed to be tied. He stepped on a pile of horse dung that was not fresh, but did not see a single horse hair.
It was obvious that neither the tent nor the horse had anything to do with him.
"No..."
After a while, Mo Tan shrugged dumbfounded and let out a long sigh: "Will someone really steal it?"
That's right, when Mo Tan logged off the previous day, the horse he bought from Anka Market was still tied to the tree, and he didn't log out while lying on the grass, but logged out from the same place in Anka.
The thread under the tent bought at the card market.
As a result, when I woke up, except for myself, the tent and the horse were gone.
This is so embarrassing...
Although Mo Tan (lawful good personality limit) is a very good person in all aspects, he is not a good person or an idiot. Naturally, he does not understand the principle of being on guard against others, but because of this place
It was relatively inaccessible, and the tents and horses were not worth much money. It was really not worth stealing from the merchants or adventurers who came and went nearby, so he finally decided to stay here and log off, but it didn't work.
It’s really gone if you think about it!
"Oh, but it can't be said that I am completely unprepared."
Mo Tan sighed again and summoned his self-exploding sheep, which could reach the ground by straightening its legs after riding on it. After stepping on it, he left the shallow forest as fast as possible and headed south.
We rushed to the main road not far away a few miles away.
Five minutes later, Mo Tansheng, who had arrived at the big woods from the shallow forest, turned back from the north in despair, speeding up his steps to the real "south", and finally returned to the main road after wasting almost fifteen minutes.
While he was controlling his mount (stretching his legs), he anxiously opened the message board, preparing to check the dozens of messages Ji Xiaoge sent yesterday to determine how far he had been left behind.
As mentioned before, as 'Mo', he is tracking a certain 'caravan' with Ji Xiaoge. To put it bluntly, he is following the slave traders under the underground chamber of commerce 'Viper', and because of Mo Tan's online time
It's relatively erratic. In actual operation, Ji Xiaoge, who can fly and can be online all day long, is following closely, riding a horse (now there is no horse), and Mo Tan, who is a road fool and has unstable online time, is following behind.
, it seems a little difficult to say, but because the slave traders also need to rest at night, and the slaves also need to eat, drink and relieve themselves during the day, the 'caravan' does not move very fast, so not only can it not escape the covert tracking
Ji Xiaoge and even Mo Tan, who couldn't drive for too long every day, were not left behind, but gradually got closer.
Until the day before yesterday…
Because yesterday was the execution day of the Requiem Plan, the day that decided the fate of Misha County, Mo Tan naturally put all his experiences there, not to mention the current 'Mo', even he passively switched to
When he was under the chaotic neutral personality, he didn't get too arrogant. Instead, he switched personalities in a relatively cooperative manner, allowing 'himself' to continue to look after Misha County in a very face-saving manner. Only then did the Requiem Plan come to a successful conclusion, except for the second phase.
There were no major flaws in the accident.
As 'Mo', he had also said hello to Ji Xiaoge before, apologetically saying that he would not have been able to go online yesterday unless something unexpected happened. He hoped that the beautiful winged girl who had worked hard for so many days would bear with her, and then continued to put the business together.
Message your team's route to yourself through friend messages.
This is not a very complicated job, because the people of the Viper Chamber of Commerce have to escort a large number of slaves, so naturally they cannot move too fast, and most of the time they take the main road as much as possible, passing through villages and towns along the way every day.
While waiting for a rest in a populated area, although they never stopped, they were not in any hurry, which made their tracking work very convenient.
Especially for Mo Tan, if those slave traders really took all kinds of small roads and took wild roads, then 99% of the time he would lose his way when he was alone and had a weird sense of direction, and he would never be able to find it again.
But if they take the main road, it will be a different concept. You must know that although Mo Tan is not familiar with this place (in fact, he is not familiar with places outside Misha County), but he has a book called "Mai" in his hand.
"Ge's Adventure Notes". In addition to a lot of practical adventurers' experiences, it also comes with a simple map of the northwest continent. Although the paintings and characters on it are quite ugly, there are various avenues and population gathering points.
The places are quite intuitive, and Mo Tan's ability to analyze maps is also very superb, so with Ji Xiaoge constantly giving feedback on the target route, he miraculously did not lose his way along the way.
In the past few days, he and Ji Xiaoge were separated by about half a day's journey. Because the population of each race in the Fairy Wilderness was not small, the villages and small towns along the way were also very dense. The slave traders of the Viper Chamber of Commerce would find someone every day.
The place was repaired until early the next morning, and Ji Xiaoge, who was following them, would also stay in the same place after disguising, while Mo Tan had to walk one or two towns slower because he had horses to take care of.
I will also try my best to find a place to settle... my own horse before I go offline next time.
Different from [Self-Exploding Sheep] or [Falling Ax City Wolf Whistle], Mo Tan’s horse is an ordinary horse that can be purchased and can be used as a mount, but it cannot be placed in a bag or disbanded.
Since the self-exploding sheep is not a living creature, it can be stored in the bag, and even if it is not stored, it has a compression mode like a wool ball. The wolf whistle of the character 'Black Van' is more advanced. The nature of the warg novice is somewhat like that of a player.
It can be disbanded without NPCs witnessing it, and when summoned again, it will come from nearby in a "relatively reasonable" form, which is also very convenient.
But Mo Tan's current (actually already before) horse, which is not worth much, does not have the above-mentioned functions. It is a simple horse that cannot be put away and cannot disappear.
Just the day before yesterday, Mo Tan, who was rushing in the Fairy Wilderness, in order to make up for the progress as much as possible, did not choose to find a nearby place where the horses could be placed to get off the line. Instead, he rushed until the Requiem Project was about to start, and then left the road and found a
I pitched a tent in a relatively suitable environment, prepared enough fodder, and tied the horse to a nearby crooked neck tree. I also made a small bonfire that had no practical effect, and finally got into the tent to lay down.
It's online.
He knew that he would disappear because he was not noticed by the NPC, but even so, the people who happened to pass by would not take action against the worthless tent and the worthless horse, and then...
Then there is nothing.
So Mo Tan had no choice but to ride a sheep. After all, although the speed of a self-exploding sheep is not as fast as a horse, it is not much different from his own running speed under normal circumstances, and it does not consume physical energy, but it will probably take a lot of time. After all,
I didn't travel all day yesterday, and my mount changed from a horse to a sheep. It would be difficult to catch up with Ji Xiaoge and the gang of slave traders in a short time.
But as the saying goes, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. Mo Tan lost his horse and knew it was not a blessing. After opening the message bar, Mo Tan found that the situation was not as he thought. It was not the only one who was not on the road all day yesterday.
He and those slave traders were not on their way! Instead, they continued to stay in the border city they arrived at the day before yesterday.
'They are still here and have sold a lot of supplies and supplies, so you don't have to worry.'
'I have found out the purpose of these guys. They are going to the Cassero Prairie! Wait until I hear more...'
'Trouble, the low-power contact device I was looking for for the kids to stick on their cars was found, and those guys started to become vigilant! But they probably haven't found me yet.'
'They haven't set off yet. I don't know if they plan to travel at night.'
'Remember to reply to me when you get online, it's so boring now!'
'I'm kidding, I'm actually very motivated, but I'm a little panicked by myself. It would be terrible if they find me out, I definitely can't beat them!'
'Mo, do you think I should go to the place where they live to apply for a job and make something poisonous for them to eat?'
'But I can't find poisonous ingredients, and I don't dare to stray too far from this small town...'
'That's right! Cordova told me that our two friends in real life seemed to be warming up quickly! But they were dealing with a very difficult matter. Although Cordova and Yuchen
(My friend is so beautiful) My classmates didn’t tell me carefully, but they were still a little worried.'
'Another friend went too far and didn't even reply to me! But I heard that he was very busy, so there was nothing I could do.'
'My sister has been acting weird lately! She hasn't been feeling well all day today! Do you think she might have eaten something bad? I'll make her some soup that's good for her stomach later. That girl has been there since she was a child.
I like to eat out, but the food in those shops is not as clean as home-made food!'
'Haha, I saw something very interesting, hahahahahaha!'
‘You’re not online yet? Why are you so busy~’
'Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't want to inquire about privacy or anything, I'm just too bored~'
'Rarot, radish, I am a potato, the eggplant is still under surveillance, there is no sign of leaving the basket, over.'
‘Three years after another three years, three years after another three years~’
'Han Tieguo~Han Yalei calls for repairing the ladle pot~uncle~blue dog~sixth brother~monk me~floating far away!'
'Hahahahahahaha, it's so fun!'
‘What’s happening! Something big has happened! Mo, are you on board? If you are on board, please give a shout!’
