At dawn the next day, Professor Bellman did not come back, and no one saw him appear until now.
Merlin and Shade looked at each other in confusion. Only the two of them knew best that Behrman would go to the neighborhood in advance every night to check the situation.
"We can't delay it any longer! Let's go to Yigu Plain first. Maybe Behrman is waiting for us there." Shade and Merlin made their decision, and everyone took action.
The 20-mile journey was enough for the Quai coach to arrive in a short time, but the team's route was always somewhat deviated from the place where Bellman's accident occurred.
These people were destined to never see Bellman again.
Entering the Yidu Plain area, the travelers were already ready for battle. The monster attacks along the way made them realize that the road was not stable.
However, today's Yiwu Plain was a bit quiet and eerie. Until everyone nervously crossed the Nuoda Plain, they did not encounter any attacks from a few monsters.
This seemed to be different from the situation a few days ago. After leaving Yidu Plain without any obstruction, everyone headed towards the final goal.
And only Benedy knows this last dangerous area, which may be the grave where everyone is buried.
He won't risk his life, at least for 1,000 gold, it's not worth it.
Therefore, he approached two professors. At this moment, Shade and Merlin seemed to be feeling a little heavy because of Bellman's disappearance.
"Mr. Gatlin, do you mean that we should move to another place?" Shade frowned.
"Yes, as I said, I lived in the north for a while." Benedy nodded, "People in that place call this place Death Valley."
"Death Valley? You just said that place is marked in red?" Merlin looked a little serious.
"I don't know. I only know that the level of danger in that place is no longer comparable to the areas we have walked through in the past two days. As for what level of area it is..."
Benedy didn't finish his words, but the meaning he wanted to express was already obvious. He just wanted to let the two professors figure it out on their own.
"But this is the road map provided by the counts, how could it be..." Merlin said hesitantly.
"Aren't the attacks we have encountered in the past few days abnormal?" Benedy interrupted the two professors for the first time, and it was too late to move forward.
"How do you explain the incident in Yiou Plain? We didn't encounter any attacks along the way." Shade glanced at Merlin and continued.
"Isn't the disappearance of a professor abnormal enough?" Benedy asked rhetorically.
Merlin and Shade fell into silence. After only a moment, Merlin looked at Benedy and said, "I understand, something is indeed not quite right."
"But the question now is whether those travelers outside will be willing to spend more time changing routes."
Benedy straightened up while sitting in the carriage. He smiled and said, "This is the simplest thing, and of course there is the simplest way to deal with it."
...
The travelers who had just crossed the plain were sitting in the carriage and boasting, but they were suddenly stopped and told that they were going to change their original route.
And this may lead to a longer arrival time, which means that 1,000 golds may very well become 700 golds because of this decision.
This is unacceptable to travelers.
"This is different from what we negotiated at the beginning." Someone protested.
300 gold coins is a lot of wealth for anyone here, and no one will give it up just because of a few words.
"Since it was decided by you, you have to give us a reason."
"Yes! We will not agree to change the route so casually. Besides, we are just short of reaching the last yellow danger zone."
"Yes, there must be a suitable reason for changing the route at this time."
The people around were all talking about their dissatisfaction, and the professors looked at Benedy. The meaning was obvious, it's time for you to appear.
Benedy raised his chin to indicate that he understood. He walked out of the crowd in a few steps, turned around, and faced the displeased travelers.
"The decision to change the route was made by me..." Benedy had just finished speaking when the noise below interrupted him.
"Why? Everyone earns the same remuneration, why would you want to change the route?" Fokker saw Benedy standing up, and suddenly he had a target to point his finger at.
"Tell me, how can this route be changed? Why should it be changed?" Angus basically represents what most travelers want.
"I can tell you that the direction we are going next is probably the Valley of the Dead marked in red, so..." Benedy continued after seeing the crowd calm down.
"What? Mark the red area, stop joking! Who can you say this on behalf of..."
"Yes, that is the route provided by the counts themselves. Why are you so sure that it is a place marked as a red area? How do you know?"
The crowd became commotion again, and Benedy sighed inwardly. He could not suppress these unruly people by relying on quality and reason.
"If anyone interrupts me while I'm talking, I will forcefully change this route, and I won't explain the reasons to you anymore." Benedy's eyes condensed, and he looked in front of him angrily.
a group of people.
When the professors were speaking earlier, he clearly saw that everyone was listening carefully. He thought these people would give him the minimum respect.
"You are so annoying! Man, you were so high-spirited along the way!" Someone in the crowd heard Benedy talking like that, and he pointed at him excitedly and started spitting.
"I just saw some clues in the swamp forest, don't be too..."
Benedy looked at him calmly, his hands habitually wanting to grab his gloves. This was his habit when shooting, but there was nothing on his empty left hand.
"I don't even have the most basic rule of listening to what someone has to say, so I guess I don't have to say too much to you." Benedy stretched out his hand and walked towards the person who spat at him.
"Gatlin, what do you want to do?" Angus frowned. Just as Benedy grabbed the man's collar with one hand, Angus also put his hand on Benedy's arm.
"Let go." Benedy said only two words.
"What did you say?" Angus still just held Benedy's arm.
"I'm only going to say it once." Benedy glanced at Angus with emotionless eyes, just like the way he looked at Bellman's death in the dark last night.
Everyone looked at Benedy, wondering what he wanted to do.
"You like to spit, right? You must be thirsty, right? There is a puddle in Yiwu Plain, which may be able to quench your thirst." Benedy suddenly grinned, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
.
Rock-like elements solidified on Benedy's hands and the opponent's collar.
"What, what do you mean?" The man was restrained by Benedy's momentum and strength, and he stammered at this moment.
Before the man finished speaking, a terrifying force that made his liver and gallbladder rush out of his body suddenly came from his collar. He only felt the world spinning for a while, and then his whole body exploded directly from the ground!
He was actually thrown thousands of meters into the air by Benedy's hands! And he was still flying in an arc to another place, so fast that he could no longer hear his own screams.
It seems to have exceeded the speed of propagation of his own voice.
A group of people on the ground looked in shock at the huge pit that collapsed several meters deep on the ground. This was caused by the force of Benedy's feet when he threw the man out.
And more than that, the dense cracks like spider webs spread more than ten meters away.
As for Angus, who grabbed Benedy's arm at the beginning...
At this moment, he was screaming and falling from a height of tens of meters. He must have a way to save himself, right?
