Chapter 1135

The capital was far from the wilderness, and Zhao Wuji knew that it would take several months to reach it by carriage.

"Where did I come from? Can I find my way back to Earth from here?"

Where was Shao Zhen's soul transported? Can it be retrieved?

"The Elf Continent is incredibly powerful. Could it hold information about Li Elf? Could we help her find her home planet?"

.........

More than ten days after the escort team left the capital, several of Zhao Wuji's so-called "former subordinates" came to see him, but Zhao Wuji refused them all.

"Although they are all key to the matter, meeting them now would expose our secrets, but it won't matter in the wilderness..."

Zhao Wuji knew his brother, the emperor Zhao Youji, had a plan: once they arrived in the wilderness, they would be granted freedom, so there was no need to take risks prematurely.

"This Zhao Meiji is also a beauty from the same clan. In the last script, her relationship with the character was ambiguous later on, but this time she's the older sister."

"Let's hurry and get going..."

Faced with reality, Zhao Wuji hurried on his journey through the night.

The horses pulling the carts were only larger and stronger than horses on Earth; they had no other special features.

But after witnessing firsthand how the horse on the right suddenly breathed out a ball of fire, burning its companion on the left to ashes, Zhao Wuji became even more wary of this world with its drastically altered script.

More than ten days later, with the support of the Nine Yin True Qi, Zhao Wuji's lightning power was able to barely subdue the fire-breathing horse demon.

"Brother Zhao, you have such charm, please stop tormenting the horse, okay?"

Zhao Wuji wasn't deliberately messing with the horses; he just wanted to test the relationship between the new lightning power output and the Nine Yin True Qi.

After all, I didn't understand the Nine Yin Manual when I joined the script last time.

After a long and dusty journey, Zhao Wuji and his party finally arrived at the edge of the wilderness without any major incidents.

"Are you free now that you're here?"

Zhao Wuji asked Zhao Meiji with a slightly joking smile, and Zhao Meiji rolled her eyes and said, "Not yet. You won't be free until you accept the King of the Wilderness."

Although Zhao Meiji wasn't restarting the game or a player of the script, and therefore lacked Zhao Wuji's foresight, the messages she received along the way showed that Zhao Wuji was increasingly concerned about him. She naturally felt deeply that "her brother the Emperor intends to let you off, but you shouldn't make things difficult for him."

"Alright, but this wilderness is terrifying. Wouldn't it be better if I helped you out?"

"also"

Zhao Meiji handed a longbow to Zhao Wuji, startling one of the "staff" who blinked in surprise.

Zhao Wuji knew he was Ling Lingqi, the emperor's brother, but he didn't reveal it along the way. So he could only casually say, "There are many wild beasts in the wilderness. My ability to protect myself doesn't mean I've gained freedom."

Ling Lingqi thought about it and realized it made sense. Although Zhao Wuji hadn't taken power yet, once he entered this most dangerous area, he couldn't escape much. So, her expression immediately turned amiable as she said, "It'll be safer for you to get in the car."

After entering the border of the wilderness, although the city of the wilderness was still far away, Wuji was granted the right to stroll outside the carriage.

The Wild Road is flanked by wastelands and swamps, sparsely populated, with supply depots only appearing every few days. In this wilderness dwell demonic wolves capable of blowing wind blades, and various strange eagles and birds that howl and spit small fireballs and water balls.

The more the caravan advanced, the more they encountered, and Zhao Wuji began to feel the crisis of "exile" once again.

Without the escort team, it would be very difficult for an ordinary person to walk in the wilderness.

In fact, the "escort" team also began to have wounded members.

Since Zhao Meiji's team was mainly composed of female soldiers, although their martial arts skills were quite good, their combat strength dropped sharply when facing the endless variety of strange and powerful monsters in the wilderness. Most of the female soldiers in the team were members of the royal family, and while they were loyal enough, their combat strength was insufficient. Only Meiji and the two "staff" could be considered experts; the others were still somewhat powerless against the monsters.

On the sixth day of entering the wilderness, Zhao Wuji's longbow began to play a significant role.

Zhao Wuji's thunder talisman was created by combining the principles of Earth's batteries and using this world's talisman-making methods to imprint it onto the arrowhead.

Once it hits the target, it triggers a firework-like effect, blasting a large number of small fire hawks in one go. It's more visually appealing and effective than the 250 Lightning Bolt.

Zhao Meiji personally felt that Zhao Wuji still had some archery skills left over, but he had already defended the entire sky, which was enough to free up everyone's combat power to deal with the wind wolves and ice wolves on the ground.

The ordinary wolf packs on the ground will not cause any trouble for the Imperial Guard.

However, the wind blades and ice blades of the demon wolf are extremely dangerous. A slight lapse in concentration can cause serious injury. Even for a master like Mei Ji, the wind blades can be fatal.

Now that the team has an archer who can stand on his own, and with the ability to defend against air attacks, they can rely on the post stations along the way to slowly and smoothly advance through the wilderness.

More than ten days later, the reinforcements sent by "Jiangnan Beyond the Great Wall" finally met up with Meiji and her party at the intermediate post station in the wilderness. Their combat strength increased greatly, and the group accelerated their advance. Half a month later, they successfully entered the barbarian city with a protective array.

The original lord of Mancheng was Zhao Yun, who was also a member of the royal family. He was Wuji Meiji's uncle and had been stationed on the border for more than ten years.

After Zhao Wuji entered the barbarian city, he was restored to his princely status according to the imperial decree and became the nominal new city lord of "Jiangnan Beyond the Great Wall".

In truth, Zhao Wuji, who had transmigrated from another era, knew his own limitations and knew he would never rebel. Therefore, he made it clear to everyone...

"The emperor is my own brother, I won't be foolish again."

Zhao Wuji's statement relieved the city's higher-ups.

Because the emperor had secretly ordered Zhao Yun through special channels, "If my brother rebels, you should report to me and deal with it. You must not harm my brother," it would be very awkward for the military and political officials in the city if Zhao Wuji were to rebel after assuming a real position.

After making his statement, Zhao Wuji regained his personal freedom and could now "freely" walk around the city.

The city of Man is relatively safe under the protection of the great formation. As long as Zhao Wuji does not leave the desolate land, he can basically do whatever he wants as the King of the Desolate Land.

As for the open areas outside the city, they are generally quite safe. For a large barbarian army to cross the Yanshan Mountains, the Black Forest, and the Blackwater River to attack is a difficult and thankless task. However, small detachments frequently raid the Black Forest against humans. Therefore, it is relatively difficult for humans to carry out various forms of production outside the city in the wilderness; only some goblin, dwarf, and dark elf tribes can rely on their neutrality to make a living elsewhere.

These special creatures acted as a lubricant between the people of Zhao and the barbarians; for thousands of years, the exchange of goods and services was facilitated by these small tribes.

Of course, there were also many of these creatures in the city, which broadened Zhao Wuji's horizons.

The dark elves with angelic faces and devilish figures; the dwarves who monopolized weapon manufacturing in the barbarian city; the goblins with their lucrative auction houses—all these sights overwhelmed Zhao Wuji.

Especially in the wilderness, where goblin auction houses are generally considered low-class, they are quite popular. This is probably because there are so many adventurers in the wilderness, and auction houses can provide many trading opportunities for everyone.
