Chapter 255: Departure: Set off!
After Mayo scolded Linda, he gathered everyone and started his journey.
The area that the herb-collecting team was heading to was the seventh checkpoint guarded by the Siamese army, about 700 kilometers outside the checkpoint.
Therefore, everyone must rush to the seventh checkpoint first.
The Holy City is extremely far away from the Seventh Checkpoint, about two thousand kilometers away. Even with the help of a flying summoned beast, it would take two days to get there.
Therefore, Mayo did not dare to delay. After organizing the team, he summoned his flying summoned beast and carried Xu Shisan and his ten companions to the seventh checkpoint.
The flying summoned beast carrying people cannot fly very fast. If you want to reach the seventh checkpoint, you will have to wait until the evening of the next day at least.
Soon, the next day came.
We flew for a whole day yesterday, and only found a place to rest after dark, and continued on our journey after daybreak.
Finally, in the evening of the next day, everyone arrived at the seventh checkpoint where the Siamese army was stationed.
The Siamese army had already known that Mayo Xu Shisan and his group were coming, so they prepared rooms for them early on.
After landing, Captain Mayo told everyone: "Everyone has worked hard for two days and must be tired. Have a good rest tonight. We will gather here early tomorrow morning and go to collect herbs."
"Yes."
After everyone responded, they were led by the Siamese soldiers to their respective rooms to rest.
When the group dispersed, the little girl named "Linda" glared at Xu Shisan fiercely again.
Xu Shisan didn't care about this.
Along the way, the little girl glared at Xu Shisan countless times. It was probably because Xu Shisan embarrassed her in public last time, and the little girl held a grudge.
However, with Mayo around, Linda didn't dare to cause trouble for Xu Shisan, so along the way, Linda just stared blankly and didn't dare to act rashly.
the next day.
After a night's rest, everyone regrouped early the next morning. Led by Mayo, they left the seventh checkpoint on his flying summoned beast and flew towards the restricted area of the forest.
Within a hundred kilometers outside the restricted area, everyone was still riding on the flying summoned beasts, but when they were close to the edge of the restricted area, Mayo led everyone to the ground and started walking.
After all, outside the restricted area, high-level ferocious beasts appeared in endlessly. They were in the sky, and the target was too big, and they could not fight. Even if they encountered one or two A-level flying ferocious beasts, it would be difficult to deal with them.
Therefore, before officially entering the restricted area, everyone must walk in.
Led by Captain Mayo, the group traveled along a path in the forest.
Since the discovery of that sacred place of elixir, the alliance has sent teams there every year to collect herbs. After going there so many times, they have figured out a safe path.
There are very few ferocious beasts along this path, and even fewer high-level ferocious beasts, so it is relatively safe.
Moreover, there are road signs carved on the trees on both sides of this path, so people don't have to worry about taking the wrong path.
Moreover, Mayo has led several herb-collecting teams in a row and is very familiar with this road. He would not go wrong even if there are no road signs.
As expected, the group did not encounter many ferocious beasts along the way. Even so, Captain Mayo, who led the team, was very cautious. He led everyone to walk relatively slowly. He would lead everyone to avoid some ferocious beasts if possible and tried not to fight in the restricted area.
Seeing that this path was very safe, Xu Shisan did not volunteer to summon 049 to lead the way.
They walked along this path for a whole day, but when they were halfway there, it was getting dark, so Mayo found a suitable place to spend the night and prepared to rest for the night. "Okay, everyone, take a break. After dark, there will be no sight, so we absolutely cannot continue on our journey."
At night, the forest is extremely dark. Even if there is moonlight, it is blocked by the lush trees and cannot be seen at all.
The visibility is only ten meters at most.
Humans do not have the night vision of ferocious beasts, so they cannot fight at night and absolutely cannot travel.
"Uncle Mayo, can we light a bonfire? It's too dark now and we won't be able to see anything soon." Linda suddenly asked.
Captain Mayo refused without a second thought: "No, the bonfire is too conspicuous in the dark and will attract ferocious beasts."
Hearing this, Linda immediately started to act like a spoiled brat: "Hey, Uncle Mayo, it's just a fire, what's the big deal."
"No means no." Mayo still refused verbally.
"Oh, Uncle Mayo, please, this is my first time to spend the night in the restricted forest, can you please meet my small request?"
Linda began to act coquettishly towards Mayo. This was Linda's first time going outside the fence and her first time in the restricted area. She really liked making bonfires and eating game in the wild.
Faced with Linda's constant pampering, Mayo finally compromised.
"Okay, okay, let's make a deal first. At the end of the night, the bonfire must be extinguished. Also, everyone must go to the trees to rest. No one can be exempted."
Although Mayo is usually very strict with Linda, he is Linda's uncle after all, and blood is thicker than water. Naturally, Mayo loves Linda very much.
"Okay, I'll go collect firewood now."
After saying that, Linda skipped off to collect firewood.
Of course, she couldn't go alone. Linda walked up to Ivan and the others and said, "What? Are you going to let me collect firewood alone? Why don't you come and help me?"
Hearing Linda's order, Ivan, Han Liangming and other representative contestants from various countries looked at each other.
In the end, they went to help Linda collect firewood.
There are three reasons why they did not refute it.
The first reason is that Linda is just a little girl who is several years younger than them. Although she has a more perverse personality, she is still that age after all.
The second reason is Linda's identity. Now everyone knows that Linda is Lord Ethan's granddaughter. With this identity, no one in the entire alliance dares to offend her.
As for the last reason, the captain of the team this time is Linda's uncle after all. Although Mayo never spoils Linda, he definitely supports this little girl in his heart.
Of course, another reason is that picking up firewood is not a big deal. After all, they will also need to make a fire later.
Seeing that Ivan, Han Liangming and the others had gone to collect firewood, Xu Shisan did not embarrass Linda and ran to a distance to pick up a pile of firewood.
However, when Xu Shisan came back from collecting firewood, Linda stopped him and looked at the firewood he had collected and said, "What kind of firewood did you collect? It's all wet. Can you burn it?"
Seeing this, Xu Shisan frowned.
The firewood he picked up was just ordinary dry firewood. This little girl was actually looking for trouble, and Xu Shisan did not tolerate her at all.
