Chapter 203: Difficult Mountains to Cross
Outside Wanshan City.
Bursts of unknown bird calls rang out in the forest, and the morning sun shone obliquely into the dense forest, bringing a hint of light to the forest.
Su Ren followed Chen Laoba through the dense forest. The trees in this place were so tall and dense that it was impossible for birds to fly across.
From time to time, a few ferocious beasts would rush out from the forest, but every time Chen Laoba was able to respond immediately, and these beasts could not survive more than a round in front of him.
It can be seen that he is very familiar with the conditions of this section of road.
Chen Laoba looked at the route ahead and said to Su Ren:
"Once we get over this mountain, we can take a slightly wider route."
"Can't we take a flying pet over this mountain?"
Chen Laoba shook his head.
"This mountain is called Guanshan. I guess there are some special restrictions in the mountain. Pets flying near Guanshan will inexplicably lose control and fall down."
"Even professionals with flying skills can't fly very high here. If they exceed a certain distance, they will fall down."
"If you want to cross the mountain, you can only walk. If you are not familiar with the road, you will get lost. If you still haven't found your way out by night, even gods can't help you."
“So many people who leave Wanshan City for the first time and don’t look for treasure hunting groups have to go around Guanshan. Guanshan is average in width, but very long, almost half surrounding Wanshan City.”
"If you want to take a detour, it will take more than ten times as long."
Upon hearing this, Su Ren released an ice worm and controlled it to fly into the air.
But before the ice worm could reach the top of the tree, it fell headfirst.
This scene surprised Su Ren.
Strictly speaking, ice worms are not flying pets. They are completely controlled by Su Ren and are more like inanimate mechanical puppets.
Even it cannot fly out. This mountain pass is indeed mysterious.
“The mountains and rivers are difficult to cross, who will pity those who have lost their way?”
Suren murmured.
Chen Laoba was surprised when he heard this and asked, "Brother Su can also write poetry?"
Su Ren shook his head and smiled:
"I can't write poetry if I listen to others reading it."
"I see. The person who wrote this poem must have been to Guanshan before."
Su Ren did not continue the topic, but asked:
"How long will it take us to get out?"
Chen Laoba confirmed the location again and replied:
"It will be almost there, half an hour at most."
The two continued on their way.
Half an hour later, the two finally walked out of the dense forest and came to a small plain with a wide view. At this time, they had stepped out of Guanshan's territory.
But Chen Laoba still chose to walk. According to him, flying in the air would easily expose him and he would be attacked by various unknown monsters.
Su Ren originally wanted to summon the Ice Dragon King for transportation, but after asking Chen Laoba when they could reach Poison Dragon Ridge, he gave up the idea of summoning the Ice Dragon King.
Another half an hour later, a majestic mountain appeared before them like a dragon.
The dark green woods and the lingering fog shroud it, making it look like a giant green dragon sleeping in the clouds.
Especially the two antler-like peaks on the top of the mountain make it come alive.
"Is this the Poison Dragon Ridge?"
Su Ren asked as he looked at the mountain in front of him.
"That should be it. I didn't know its name before. It was only after you, Brother Su, told me the name and the place that I guessed it based on its shape."
"From a distance, it really looks like a poisonous dragon is sleeping here."
Su Ren took out the map, and the copy location marked on the map was exactly on the north side of the mountain.
"Since we're already here, go ahead and do your thing. I'll go by myself."
Su Ren knew that Chen Laoba needed to pick things on this trip, so he stopped letting him lead the way.
Poison Dragon Ridge doesn't look big, and he can find the way here by following the map.
"It's okay. I'll give Brother Su a ride. It's not far away anyway."
"By the way, I haven't asked Brother Su yet, what are you doing here from afar?"
"Oh, I'm going to do a job transfer mission in a dungeon."
There was nothing to keep secret, and Suren didn't hide it from him.
"So that's how it is."
Chen Laoba looked at Su Ren with some respect.
The job transfer mission is still in such a difficult and dangerous place.
"Isn't this an 8th job mission?"
Thinking of this, Chen Laoba looked at Su Ren again with some shock.
Only rank 8 missions would come to such a dangerous and hard-to-find place.
The two continued on their journey. Chen Laoba insisted on leading him. Su Ren couldn't refuse, so he had to agree.
The slopes on the south side of Dulong Ridge are gentler and there is less strange fog, so the south side is not very dangerous.
But halfway through the walk, Chen Laoba suddenly stopped, and then said with a somewhat sad look:
"That's where my sister got into trouble..."
Su Ren didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only encourage him:
"As the saying goes, it takes the person who tied the bell to untie it. Maybe we can find a way to save your sister in Poison Dragon Ridge."
Hearing this, Chen Laoba suddenly raised his head and said excitedly:
"Yeah , why didn't I think of that?"
"Since my sister got into trouble here, maybe there is a way to save her here."
Chen Laoba was so excited that he felt like he had grabbed the only straw that could save his life.
Little did they know that it was not that easy. It was good enough if nothing happened in Poison Dragon Ridge.
Su Ren remembered the description of the man in the intelligence, a monster that sucked human blood.
If this monster has been living in Poison Dragon Ridge, Chen Laoba will not be in danger when he is here, but what will he do after he enters the copy?
Thinking of this, Su Ren regretted asking him to come. He was so busy on his way that he forgot about this matter.
"Brother Chen, why don't you go collect your things? This Poison Dragon Ridge is not safe."
Suren told him the information given in the intelligence.
" Once enter the dungeon, I won't be able to protect you."
"Brother Su, I'm not afraid. As long as I can find a way to save my sister, I'm not afraid of death."
Su Ren had a headache. Why was he so stubborn?
If you die, who will save your sister?
Now no matter what Su Ren said, Chen Laoba refused to leave.
Su Ren had no choice but to arrange a pet to protect him.
Otherwise, if he died here, what would happen to his sister Chen Yao.
At this time, a group of people also crossed the mountains and came to the small plain.
Four black-clad assassins appeared one after another, bowed in front of the group of people and said:
"Reporting to the Patriarch, Su Ren and Chen Laoba have entered the mountain ahead."
Cheng Mo nodded.
"It's three hours away from Wanshan City. They shouldn't have gone too far."
"Choose a place to ambush and wait for them to come back."
Cheng Mo looked at the old man Wanshou standing beside him and asked:
"Old man, where do you think we should ambush?"
In fact, he already had the answer in his mind, but since Old Man Wanshou was here, he let him make the decision, which was also a sign of respect.
Elder Wanshou smiled and glanced at him, then said slowly:
"Just stay in the mountain behind us. Since flying is prohibited here, we don't have to worry about him running away on his flying pet."
