The consequence of hurrying along with a cripple who could only walk with one foot was that the two of them only managed to cover the last ten kilometers of the journey from noon until the sun was about to set. Please remember the address of this website: novels.
Due to Salvey's weakness, the two of them had to rest several times in the middle of the journey. If not for the fact that Zhang Tie was carrying a lot of things on his back and could no longer carry Salvey on his back, Zhang Tie almost couldn't help but want to carry Salvey on his back several times.
Besides Salvey, Zhang Tie also put away the animal trap and carried it on his luggage, adding more than 10 kgs of weight to his luggage. At the sight of this animal trap, Salvey couldn't help but grit his teeth. Therefore, Zhang Tie asked him whether he wanted it or not. Of course, Salvey didn't want it. Therefore, the animal trap became Zhang Tie's. Facing Salvey's suspicious gaze, Zhang Tie explained that this animal trap could be sold for about 20 silver coins in Blackhot City. When Zhang Tie said this, Salvey didn't doubt him at all. Actually … well, he admitted it. When Zhang Tie said this, he was actually thinking about Glaze and his lackeys. Seeing Salvey's unfortunate look, Zhang Tie couldn't help but imagine an evil scene in his mind — — Glaze or one of his lackeys would be bitten by this animal trap one day like Salvey today, rolling on the ground in pain. If that really happened, Zhang Tie would feel very good. Therefore, he carried the heavy and ugly animal trap on his back.
This part of the journey was not so much a test of Zhang Tie's physical strength. Rather, it was a test of his patience.
The two of them hurried along the foot of the mountain, but their speed was as slow as a turtle's. Thankfully, Salvey seemed to be very anxious to reunite with his companions. Besides taking a short rest, he didn't feel like doing anything else. Additionally, the two of them didn't encounter any other fierce beasts. Finally, the two of them managed to rush back to the place where Salvey said his companions were staying before sunset.
The residence of Salvey's partners was on the other side of the mountain range which extended from Wild Wolf Valley. If this mountain range which extended for dozens of kilometers was compared to a bitter gourd, Salvey shouted towards Miller, "Miller, you f * cking b * stard! Can't you ask me before chopping people?"
After exchanging glances with each other, Miller and Harley seemed to notice the wound on Salvey's foot and the crutch made of twigs. They then put away their weapons at the same time.
"Hey, kid, I didn't expect your reaction to be so fast!" Miller revealed a carefree smile as he sheathed his long saber and stretched out his hand towards Zhang Tie who was still lying on the ground. Zhang Tie didn't pull his hand; instead, he silently picked himself up. Miller shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
After a few breaths, more than ten people ran out of the birch woods with weapons in hand. Salvey hurriedly walked towards them with his crutch. After whispering something to one of them and pointing at Zhang Tie, they all put away their weapons and walked towards Zhang Tie.
Since the group of people ran out of the birch woods, Zhang Tie's eyelids had been twitching. Although they were dressed as pioneers, Zhang Tie felt that there was something wrong with them. Zhang Tie couldn't tell what was wrong with them, but he could instinctively feel the dangerous aura from them. Their vigilant and inquisitive eyes made Zhang Tie feel uncomfortable.
"Did you save Salvey?" Among those people, a man in his thirties put away his weapon and walked over. This man was thin and had an unshaven face, but he had a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes. When this man's sharp eyes looked at him, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Zhang Tie thought of how the magistrate of Blackhot City would look at those street kids who were squatting in the corner near the railway station and only staring at the purses on passers-by's waists.
This made Zhang Tie a bit uncomfortable.
"Yes, I saved Salvey!" Saying this, Zhang Tie put away his javelin.
"Few students dare to come to the Crescent Prairie for survival training alone." That man's words were full of inquisitiveness.
"There are only three people in the entire Wild Wolf Castle who dare to come here for survival training, and I'm one of them!" Zhang Tie replied with a bit of pride. At the same time, he also noticed that the man glanced at Miller, who had just fought with him. Miller then slightly nodded, seeming to agree with Zhang Tie's words.
"No matter what, now that you've saved Salvey, we should all thank you!" That man's tone became a bit relaxed. "I don't know how we can help you. If you have any requests, just tell us and we will see whether we can do it or not!"
This man was very straightforward.
"No need. Since Salvey has already joined you, I have to go!" I have to go too! "Zhang Tie refused this man's proposal and looked at Salvey. "See you next time!"
Seeing that Zhang Tie was going to leave, Salvey opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he finally held it back.
Zhang Tie waved his hand, turned around, and strode out of the birch forest. Then, under the gazes of everyone behind him, he trotted along the route he came from. The people in the birch forest watched silently as Zhang Tie disappeared into the distance. Only then did everyone withdraw their gazes.
"Don't worry. As long as he's in Blackhot City, you will have a chance to repay him in the future..." Harley, who was standing beside Salvey, patted Salvey's shoulder and comforted him. After withdrawing his gaze, Salvey smiled.
"Head, this brat is not bad. He's very responsive, but a bit narrow-minded..."
Miller's silence made Salvey glare at Miller angrily again. "If he didn't react in time, you would have killed him with that strike!"
That man with eyes as sharp as an eagle squinted his eyes and watched Zhang Tie disappear in the distance. Then he turned around and asked, "Salvey, how's the situation?"
Salvey also knew that this man was not concerned about his foot injury. Hearing Salvey's question, he took out a small metal cylinder and handed it to that man. "I've already completed the topography of the Wild Wolf Valley. I've also investigated the situation of the Wild Wolf Castle. The group of soldiers who were originally stationed in the Wild Wolf Castle had already left one month ago. Now, the Wild Wolf Castle has become the headquarters of a group of boy soldiers in Blackhot City. There are less than ten people above LV 6 in the castle, and the most powerful ones are probably below LV 9. They are all teachers and instructors of schools in Blackhot City. As for the defense equipment in the castle, under the control of these students, they could only exert 40% of their power. The main defensive boiler of the castle has not been started..."
Hearing Salvey's words, that man unscrewed the metal cylinder and took out the map inside. After that, he slightly nodded. When he put away the map, this man issued some orders without even blinking his eyes.
"Everyone, you have five minutes to prepare. We're going to move immediately …" Hearing this, everyone immediately got busy without hesitation.
"Dogo, prepare the messenger falcon and contact the headquarters. Zola, check the condition of the horses..." Saying this, that man seemed to have remembered Salvey's injury. Glancing at Salvey's leg which was roughly bandaged using a branch as a splint, he asked, "Can you still ride a horse?"
"Yes..." Salvey gritted his teeth.
The man nodded...
Five minutes after Zhang Tie left the birch woods, over ten horses rushed out of the birch woods. After a short while, they disappeared in the northeast horizon of the border of Crescent Prairie...
