Doomsday Code

Chapter 595 Ancient Road

Chen Cheng came to Emil, patted her smooth back and said:

"I'm sorry, I thought you'd been around them for so long that you were used to it."

This is not Chen Cheng's pretense, but because Emile has always had the most contact with these adventurers, and in the adventurer's team, there is bound to be battles, blood, and death.

Emile paused and waved his hand:

"No, it was just too sudden. In just a split second, they went from being human to being like this."

In fact, not to mention Emile, no matter how many times Chen Cheng saw Sheli take action, he still felt uncomfortable with his speed.

Chen Cheng didn't vomit because he had seen Sheli instantly kill two thousand guards in the royal capital before. That scene was much more shocking than this scene.

"Let's go, this place will soon attract those monsters."

Seeing that Emile had calmed down, Chen Cheng spoke.

Emile rinsed his mouth with water, nodded, and then the two of them and the wolf continued on their journey.

And perhaps because this killing came too fast and too fiercely, even if they met adventurers during the rest of the journey, they no longer stuck to them like dog-skin plasters as before.

Under Emile's guidance, Daha soon arrived at the military camp at the intersection of the forest passage.

At this time, this place has become a military camp fortress, and almost all the city guards in Huidun City are here.

At the same time, Guild President Moni and his team members are also here to help guard the intersection.

The appearance of Daha immediately aroused the vigilance of the camp. If the secret sentry in the camp had not seen someone on Daha's back, he would have ordered the camp to attack with arrows from a distance.

When we got closer, we saw Emile and Chen Cheng on Daha's back.

The people here were all old members of the city guard army. Naturally, they knew Chen Cheng. When they saw Chen Cheng appear, they thought he came with Huidun's orders, and the camp guards immediately opened the gate to welcome them.

"Lord Brown."

Chen Cheng got off Daha's back and nodded to the guard who came to greet him.

"Your Highness will be back in Huidun City soon. You have performed a great service in guarding the entrance this time. Your Highness will be generous in rewarding you."

Chen Cheng knew very well what these city guards needed, and he was not talking nonsense. They guarded the entrance this time, allowing the kingdom to control this passage, which was very important to the kingdom.

After Chen Cheng entered the camp, he found the highest-ranking city guard corps commander. After speaking to him for a few words in the tent, the commander personally took Chen Cheng to the entrance of the passage.

"This is the passage Miss Emil found, but we still don't know what's behind it. Do you really want to go alone?"

Chen Cheng looked at the weed-covered ground behind him and could vaguely see that it was an ancient road.

However, after being abandoned for many years, the originally wide road has been covered with trees and weeds.

"I have no other choice. My mind is broken and I have no choice but to seek help from the elves. I will leave everything here to you. When His Highness returns, you won't have to work so hard."

The team leader sighed, then handed Chen Cheng a space bag and said:

"You should leave in a hurry this time. Here are some weapons I prepared for you. If you encounter danger on the way, you can use them. If not, then retreat. I believe that His Highness will organize experts to open this passage after he returns."

Chen Cheng took the space bag, then rode on Daha, put his arm around Emile's waist and waved goodbye to the leader.

As for why Chen Cheng put his arm around Emile's waist, it was because Chen Cheng was not familiar with the road ahead, so naturally he wanted Emile to guide Daha.

Looking at the receding figures of Chen Cheng and the others, the regiment commander sighed and then gave the order:

"The camp is under martial law. Awaiting orders from His Highness, we must be ready to attack at any time."

"Yes."

After entering the ancient trail, Chen Cheng could only hear the sound of the wind caused by Daha's running and his breathing. The entire ancient trail was unusually quiet.

"It's so quiet, have we entered the territory of some powerful monster?"

Chen Cheng asked while hugging Emile's slender waist.

However, Emil, who was watching the road ahead and pointing the way, opened his mouth to explain:

"Don't worry, the ancient road is absolutely safe. Otherwise, this road of hundreds of miles would not have become a communication channel between our two tribes.

In the past, the empire laid a special magic array on the ancient road, and the monsters did not dare to approach the ancient road.

As long as the foundation of the ancient road is not damaged, this special magic array will still be effective."

After all, Emile was an elf who had lived for more than two hundred years. The empire still existed when she was young, so she naturally knew all this.

Just as we said before, now that the Black Dragon King of Huoyuan Ridge has been eliminated, it can be said that land transportation between the human race and the elves has been opened up.

This land transportation is naturally not so short, it is just because the area of Huoyuan Ridge occupied by the Black Dragon King is the starting point of the ancient road. If we get rid of him, we can find the ancient road.

It was not until noon that, under the guidance of Emile, Chen Cheng and his companions found an ancient post station that had been abandoned for hundreds of years.

If it weren't for the map markings and the remains of buildings on the ground, it would be impossible to tell that this was an inn.

The post station has a large area, and at night only the magic array below the post station will still be running, while the magic array on the ancient road will be silent at night.

So if you want to spend a safe night on the ancient road, you have to find a post station.

After clearing a small space, Chen Cheng started to cook while Emile began to study the map in his hand.

After comparing the maps, Emil handed the map to Chen Cheng and said:

"We can't continue our journey today. The nearest post station is still a day's journey away. Daha won't be able to make it before sunset at his speed."

Chen Cheng looked at the map handed to him by Emile and nodded.

During the imperial period, those who traveled here were of high status, and their vehicles were incomparable to those of Daha, so the distance between these post stations was very far.

Moreover, although the magic formation on the ancient road was still intact when they came, it had been abandoned for hundreds of years after all, and no one knew whether the road ahead would be intact.

If you encounter any problems on the road and are delayed so that you cannot reach the post station at night, you will be attacked by monsters from all directions at night.

Moreover, this place is already deep in the Nanmu Forest, and the level of the monsters that appear will not be too low.

Sheli walked out from the shadows, sheathed the butcher knife in his hand and said:

"I explored the surrounding area and found that twenty miles away is the territory of a Platinum Peak Beast King. However, there is a special power protecting this place underground, so those monsters dare not approach it."
