Chapter 16

The dim sky was stained a dark red like magma, and the smell of gunpowder and sulfur was everywhere in the air.

On a hillside that was neither high nor low, Xiang En and Andrea hid side by side behind a bush, secretly observing a team at the bottom of the hill.

Twelve days had passed since they left D'Aer, and after seeing two piles of burnt corpses in a row, the two stopped in the forest by the main road and lived for five days.

Just when they were about to continue to set off, a dark red cloud suddenly appeared in the sky in front of them, followed by the earthquake of the earth.

The abnormal noise attracted the two of them. After the shock subsided, they arrived here in two days and saw a chaotic team staying on a small road.

There were more than 30 people gathered scattered on the path under the hillside. They were dressed like a combination of adventurers and civilians. There were men and women, old and young.

The oldest one can see gray hair, and the youngest is still crying in swaddling baby.

At this moment they gathered together, arguing excitedly with each other, and there seemed to be no leader.

Observing from a distance of nearly fifty meters, Xiang En could see the confusion and fear on the faces of those people, but there were also people wearing helmets and swords among those people.

"They don't look like bad people, do you want to contact them?"

After observing for a period of time, Andrea was convinced that those people might be just ordinary people, and she was confident that with their cooperation, even if those people were not good people, they could still run away.

Observed at a distance of more than 50 meters, the few professional hunters with short knives and bows and arrows did not notice it, and their strength should be average.

During the five days of living in the forest, Andrea and Xiang En seriously searched for monsters in order to have a bite of meat, and even met a bronze senior wolf king who was driven out of the wolf pack.

After the thrilling battle, Andrea finally killed the wolf king with her injury in exchange for her life.

Andrea, who was already at the advanced level of bronze, successfully promoted to the advanced level of bronze after absorbing the magic crystal on the body of the monster, and her physique and magic power reserves have been significantly improved.

After Xiang En healed Andrea's injury, the skill level of the recovery technique and the awakening technique also increased. The increase was not much, but it was enough to allow them to have the ability to protect themselves in less dangerous situations .

Moreover, both of them can recover their physical strength with their skills. If they are not very close or crushed by speed, they can use their physical strength to exhaust their opponents to death.

"Go out and meet them."

After observing the team down the hillside for so long, Xiang En also saw that these people should not be the group that slaughtered the city, and they were arguing like they were about to fight...

They have been separated from the crowd for too long, and they urgently need to supplement information from the outside world, otherwise the feeling of being abandoned by the world will become more and more serious.

Humans are social animals after all.

After reaching a consensus, the two stood up from behind the bushes without deliberately hiding their movements. The sound of their bodies rubbing against the bushes immediately alerted several professional hunters.

"who!"

A male hunter with dark green hair quickly pulled out an arrow from his quiver and put it on his bow, aiming it in the direction of Xiang En.

The hunter's yell made the chaotic team quiet, and those with weapons drew out their swords one after another and looked at Xiang En and the two, with a sense of sight of a frightened bird.

Xiang En and Andrea raised their hands, and slowly walked out of the bushes, expressing that there was no hostility between them.

Most people have put away their weapons after seeing them raise their hands, and only a small number of people are still holding swords, but they have also lowered their blades.

"Who are you? What do you want?"

After Xiang En and Andrea walked down the hill, a professional brown-haired warrior who was still holding a knife spoke.

Everyone else just allocated a small amount of energy to pay attention to it. The sudden appearance of two non-hostile people is not what they should care about the most.

"Xiang En, adventurer. This is my companion, may I ask where you are going?"

Xiang En looked at the professional who spoke, gave a simple explanation, and looked at the group of people.

After getting closer, the relationship between these people appeared more clearly in front of him.

There are ordinary people in the team. Those ordinary people stay in one corner of the team, and the people dressed as adventurers stand on the other side. There are still some people in the middle who are communicating, and those who just quarreled are also those people.

The person Xiang En was talking to was also an adventurer. After hearing Xiang En's introduction, he put away his knife, frowned and asked, "Where did you come from? Don't you know about Greystone City?" ?"

After the man asked this question, Xiang En and Andrea could clearly feel that the attention on them had increased, and even those who were arguing temporarily stopped their discussion and looked at the two of them.

Xiang En also frowned. Greystone City is a large city on the edge of D'Aer Province, and it is considered the largest gathering place for adventurers in the province besides D'Are City. So I asked... Could it be that something happened to Greystone City?

"We escaped from the city of Deir, what happened to Greystone City?"

As soon as he said that he had escaped from the city of D'Aer, the faint communication between the teams disappeared instantly, and everyone looked at Xiang En.

"Boy! You just said you escaped from the city of D'Are, right? What happened there?"

A burly man in heavy armor came out of the quarrelsome people in the middle. He had a slightly ferocious expression on his face, and he spoke very bluntly, emphatically biting out the word "escape".

After pushing through the crowd, the strong man stood in front of Xiang En, as if he was about to hit someone at any time, and it could be seen that his mood was not calm.

Andrea took a step forward, stood in front of Xiang En, and clenched her fists. If these people wanted to make a move, she would run away with Xiang En.

Seeing her posture, the strong man stopped and did not move forward, but his eyes were still staring at Xiang En.

More people also surrounded them. They thought that Xiang En and Andrea had also escaped from Greystone City, but they didn't expect it to be so!

"An accident happened in D'Er City?"

"Tell me what happened!"

After digesting Xiang En's news, the rush of shouts made his eardrums hurt, so he had no choice but to raise his hand to stop them from continuing to speak.

"Stop, can you tell me what happened in Greystone City first?"

Then there was another chatter of questions and explanations, and finally the brown-haired man raised his hand to make everyone around him quiet first, and then explained to Xiang En by himself.

"Greystone City came with an army the day before yesterday, and then the city was sealed off. People inside couldn't get out, and people outside couldn't get in. Then a magic circle map appeared in the sky above the city, and an archmage used a seventh-level spell to , Destroyed all the nearby towns, those of us escaped by luck, although the opinions are not unified, we should still go to the city of D’Aer.”

After he finished explaining, both Xiang En and Andrea had bad expressions, how familiar this is, and things got complicated again!

Why!
