Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 34 Going to Yuanshan Town (Thanks to book friend decadent x for the reward)
Fallstown?
Anderina raised her eyebrows, trying to find some information about this strange town from her limited knowledge.

She thought for a moment, and finally shook her head slightly, looked at Thorn with doubtful eyes and said, "I haven't heard of it."

Although she stayed in Winter City almost all the time and didn't go out very much, it didn't mean her news was blocked.

On the contrary, Anderina has a special hobby, that is, she likes to collect all kinds of information about players.

In this strange world, she thought that only when she could feel the presence of players from a certain place at all times, would Andelina feel that she was not so alone.

This is also the main reason why she chose to live in the lower city, and then opened a bar in a very remote corner.

Looking at the busy faces of the players every day, it seems to make her feel that this is actually just a game!

It is this self-deceiving way of life that allows her, a weak woman, to be strong until now.

One game, one hundred lives.

Not everyone likes the life of fighting and killing.

And she just wanted to spend the rest of her life in an ordinary different world.

It's a pity that things backfired. Even Winter City, which has a legendary wizard, has suffered a heavy blow, so where is it safe?
To the west of Cold Winter City is a group of Great Sword Scar Mountains.

This huge mountain group extends from the northern coast of the entire Corina Peninsula to the southernmost coast of the Sea of ​​Glory.

To the east of the mountains is a piece of intertwined natural topography of woodlands, hills, wastelands, swamps and grasslands.

This huge area is collectively known as: Emerald Fields!

The Emerald Field is an area rich in living resources, which has nurtured countless intelligent races.

Because of this, there is a tragic war between human beings and various intelligent races competing for living space here all the time.

In this emerald field with a complex natural environment, among the forces independently established by the players, the ones that impressed her the most were:

The closest ones are Far Mountain Town, Twilight Town, and Iron Horse Town, and the farther ones are Horn Town and a mysterious Tomant Town founded by tiefling race players.

As for Upper Falls, she had never heard of it.

"It's normal if you haven't heard of it. The distance from here to Pushang Town is at least a thousand kilometers away." Thorne felt the other party's puzzled eyes, looked at the gray-white wilderness in the distance, and said lightly.

After finishing speaking, he left Anderina in a daze, pulled out the long sword stuck on the ground, and walked towards the fire not far away.

When he went from Pushang Town to Winter City, it took him nearly a month and a half to get there.

The distance between Pushang Town and Winter City is so far that there is almost no communication between the two places, and naturally many people have never heard of it.

This is a world where information is blocked and traffic is not very developed.

Except for merchants and adventurers, most civilians and players may not be able to leave their villages and towns throughout their entire lives.

They have to face the threat of evil humanoid creatures from all directions at all times.

From the weakest kobolds and goblins to the mighty hill giants and more.

These evil intelligent races, as long as you don't subdue them severely or wipe them out completely!
They will rely on their strong reproductive ability to form new threats again!

Then when you are weak or not paying attention, launch a sudden attack on your territory!
Those players who survived in wilderness areas have established their own villages and towns.

But it can only be said that it is difficult to live in the wilderness, and dare not admit that it is the real owner of this piece of land in the wilderness!
It is impossible to carve out a territory in this world without paving the way with blood!
Today's player forces obviously don't have this ability yet!

More than 1000 kilometers!

There was some surprise in Andelina's eyes looking at Thorne.

Immediately, her eyes dimmed a little, and it was obvious that Pushang Town was not a good place to choose in her mind.

She is just a spoiled woman in the real world.

If you want to go to the town of Pushang, you must be prepared to walk nearly 1000 kilometers from the dangerous wilderness.

Even in the most comfortable carriage, she didn't think she would be able to stick to it.

……

A bonfire dispelled the surrounding darkness and coolness, bringing warmth to this cold environment.

Experienced the catastrophe struggling on the edge of life and death.

After seeing the flames, these surviving players seemed to get an inexplicable peace of mind.

The originally tense expression slowly let go, revealing a long-lost smile.

The place where the players are at this time is a small valley that Thorne has found for them to shelter from the wind.

As a ranger, Thorne is naturally good at surviving in the wilderness.

The place is desolate and full of weeds, in stark contrast to the jungle where the troll Trundle collects firewood not far away.

For those greedy nocturnal hunters, they generally seldom visit here.

But with fire, it's different.

Because of the bright fire at night, it is easy to attract the attention of beasts or evil humanoids.

But there is no other way.

Without the warmth brought by the fire, in this cold night, even if these players without camping equipment would not be frozen to death, they would still suffer from fever and headache due to the cold air invading the body.

There are no so-called hospitals and clinics here, and there are no medicines to treat diseases, which means that they can only rely on thin clothes to resist.

It's okay to be able to survive, but the end of being unable to resist is to become the breakfast of a certain creature in the wilderness.

No one will feel sorry or pity them.

"Brother Thorne is here, sit down!" A warrior player whose face was flushed by the firelight greeted Thorne with respect in his eyes when he saw Thorn walking towards him.

When Thorne came over, several players immediately vacated a clean position.

Pardo, who was reading with a book, also raised his head and looked at Thorn.

However, Thorne did not sit down, but took out a package from his pocket and handed it to the player closest to him:
"This is the powder used to repel poisonous insects. You sprinkle it around the camp, so that you can avoid the attack of poisonous insects when you are resting."

Looking at these surviving players, Thorne thought about it, and finally decided to leave them there when he passed by Yuanshan Town, which is the nearest town, on his way to Pushang Town.

It is nearly a thousand kilometers away from Pushang Town, and it is impossible for Thorne to bring all the players who drag oil bottles with him.

Walking through the wilderness, even Thorne himself must be extra careful, let alone these players who have little survival experience, what is the difference between that and death?

However, to reach the nearest Yuanshan Town from here, it takes at least two days to walk on foot, which means that the players have to experience two cold nights.

"Have you heard of Yuanshan Town?" Thorne asked directly.

Yuanshan Town?
Pardo was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I heard from my uncle that it is the nearest town to Winter City, and it was established by player forces."

Several other fighters also nodded subconsciously when they heard the words, although they made a living as coolies on the pier.

But it's not just a noob, sometimes when I go to Anderina's bar occasionally, I will meet players from Yuanshan Town who are doing business.

Naturally, he knew a little about Yuanshan Town.

The reason why they chose to stay in Winter City instead of going to the player's territory in the wilderness was mainly because those places were too unsafe.

It is always facing the threat of other intelligent races.

In the final analysis, the establishment of Yuanshan Town was actually piled up by the flesh and blood of countless players.

The most tragic one was this year's Harvest Day. A large ogre tribe drove countless goblins and kobold slaves to rob food. Almost half of the more than 2000 players died in this bloody food defense battle.

Because there is no food, they can't even survive this winter!
And they are different.

The natural six-dimensional attributes of the players are all elite templates, and these warrior players have physique and strength attributes far beyond ordinary people.

For the coolies on the wharf, it couldn't be easier. Except for the lower wages, everything else is quite satisfactory.

They are all salted fish without any lofty ideals, just trying to be safe.

That's why I wasn't affected by the people who wanted to use the big cakes and the passionate and inspiring words to incite people.

Facts have proved that if it weren't for the crisis encountered by Cold Winter City, their choice would have been relatively good.

"Then you guys have a good rest tonight. I'll watch the night. We'll leave for Yuanshan Town tomorrow. If you don't want to, feel free to do so. I will never interfere with your decision."

Thorne glanced at Pardo and said lightly.
