Chapter 292: All the way to the wildernessAfter a night's rest, Su Chen got up around noon. I feel that there is always a pleasant fragrance in Qiu Ruoshuang's courtyard, which seems to help me sleep. It is also possible that I had expended too much energy before and couldn’t help but sleep a little longer. Things were not too rushed, and thanks to the destiny of [Perseverance], Su Chen did not actually need to rest for that long. Just think of it as being lazy. Although your body has recovered long ago, you still need rest to recover your mental state. After packing up a bit, Su Chen began to buy some necessary things in Xiaguan City. After preparing some common items, Su Chen started off, following the instructions on the leather map. Go all the way north. In spring, everything comes back to life and the scenery is really beautiful. But along the way, Su Chen was looking at the scenery, but his mind was thinking about other things.
Su Chen didn't know much about the State of Jin. All we know is that it is a behemoth, far larger than the Zhou Kingdom. Su Chen also knew very little about the major forces in the State of Jin. The one that people know a little about is probably Tianfeng Valley. I had fought with Long Yunyun from Tianfeng Valley before, so I had some understanding of her. But I feel that compared with the Qiu family, Tianfeng Valley seems to be a little bit worse. The people Qiu Ruoshuang arranged to deliver the pills were all more powerful than the leader of Tianfeng Valley. There are still some strongholds in Da Zhou, and Su Chen doesn't know how powerful the Qiu family is. I don't know how insignificant I am in front of the Qiu family. There were some unrealistic thoughts in his mind, and Su Chen tried his best to get rid of them. He kept his distance from Jin Yue because he said he didn't want to marry someone higher than him. But turning around, it seems that what I am thinking now is even more unattainable. The Jin family is known as the high branch. What I was thinking about at this moment was the branch where the divine bird was resting on the high mountain. Su Chen felt that Qiu Ruoshuang didn't dislike him, nor did he feel any rejection towards him. But what I can feel seems to be limited to this. After all, this attitude was most likely because he had saved her before and was helping her again this time. Let's take a look step by step Putting aside some unnecessary thoughts, Su Chen finally came to his senses and began to concentrate on his journey. According to the leather map, we need to go all the way north and directly out of the border of the Great Zhou. After entering Jin State, we will go further north. To the east of Jin State, there is a small country bordering it.
It is said to be a small country, but it is half the size of the Zhou Kingdom. From this small country, we enter the wilderness and continue on. The path behind becomes more complicated and requires careful searching of the route on a map. Su Chen took a look and realized that if he went a little slower, the journey would probably take about seven days. Although there was still plenty of time, Su Chen still tried to speed up as much as possible. If you feel a little tired, just find a carriage and continue your journey. I slept in the carriage for a while, arrived at the next post station, and then continued on my journey. After about five days, Su Chen had reached the border of Shilu Kingdom. The name of Shilu Kingdom contains the word "stone", and Su Chen was deeply touched when he passed by. The Shilu Kingdom did not have much fertile land suitable for farming, which was a world of difference compared to the Jin Kingdom to the west. Su Chen even speculated that the land occupied by the Shilu Kingdom was probably what the Jin Kingdom did not want. After crossing the border, Su Chen's experience this time really began. The eastern wilderness of Shilu Kingdom, if you go all the way south, will connect with the wilderness outside Yunyang Sect. But the distance between them is so great that the terrain, climate, and monsters in the wilderness are completely different. Even if I have the destiny of [Good Monster Hunter], I still need to be as careful as possible. Especially when there are obstacles like mountains, which will affect my judgment. Just like the last time when we helped the Yunyang Sect to investigate the earth demon, our judgment was affected by the obstruction of the continuous mountains. As long as you know the possible dangers and are vigilant about everything, then it will be fine and there won't be any big problems. The further north you go, the colder the winter becomes. However, the difference between spring, summer and autumn does not seem to be that big between Jin and Zhou. Although Tiangang City and Yunyang Sect are hundreds of miles apart, the summers in both Yunyang Sect and Tiangang City are quite hot. It is spring now, and the wilderness outside the Stone Land is lush with trees. The leaves of the trees here are mostly small, and there are even many coniferous plants. Compared with the plants in Da Zhou, there are quite a few broad-leaved plants. The climate is different, and it seems that there are some problems with the plants that grow there. Monsters in the Spring and Autumn Period were particularly ferocious, and incidents of injuries to people occurred frequently. Most of the major sects’ operations to wipe out demons are carried out in the summer. In spring, almost no warriors would set foot in the wilderness, and it was all for this reason. The monsters rest for a winter and then mate and reproduce in the spring.
These situations will make monsters become violent. The wilderness becomes doubly dangerous in spring. However, these are not big problems for Su Chen. The observation ability that [Monster Hunter] brings to me is enough to deal with all of these. After walking a certain distance, Su Chen would stop and set a trap. The purpose of these traps is to use them to stop monsters in case you are chased by them. The second is that it can be used as a signpost. This road is quite long, so we left road signs so that if we enter some extremely complicated terrain, we can easily get out of it. Judging from this leather map, the journey to our destination is quite complicated. And Qiu Ruoshuang also reminded her that she would pass through the territory of the Heavenly Demon along the way. As he moved forward, although he had the destiny of being a "Good Monster Hunter", Su Chen still tried to be as vigilant as possible. After entering the wilderness, Su Chen felt that time was not enough. Even when it was dark, Su Chen did not stop to rest completely. I must return to Tiangang City before mid-June, so I must seize the time. The monsters seen in this wilderness are very different from those in Yunyang Sect and outside Tiangang City. Most monsters have long fur and thick skin, seemingly to survive the winter. Su Chen kept walking towards the east. After walking for hundreds of miles, he saw dense forests. The State of Jin was very large and was a behemoth in front of the Great Zhou. But in front of this endless wilderness, it is still far from enough. Along the way, Su Chen saw organized monsters in the wilderness. A group of big monsters, led by the golden monster, were able to march in formation. To be honest, Su Chen was a little shocked when he saw this scene. Perhaps this is the territory of a certain celestial demon. These great golden monsters may have received guidance and instruction from the celestial monsters. Otherwise, this golden monster shouldn't be that powerful. During the whole process, Su Chen tried his best to avoid any trouble. As we go deeper and deeper, we see many strange and bizarre things. Those monsters seemed to be more powerful than those in Yunyang Sect and outside Tiangang City. All these also told Su Chen that this place was full of dangers.
