Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

In this welcoming team, except Woodcorn, all others are pure humans.

Seeing that the approaching people were cavalry, Woodcorn couldn't help but think of the Feiqi family. According to the introduction in the letter, they were also coming on horseback.

However, there was still a whole night until the agreed time...

——(Could it be that the Feiqi family arrived early like us?)

Woodcorn didn't dare to relax. The mentality of "lucky" was the most important thing to get rid of in the wild.

Therefore, the welcoming team not only did not relax, but also became more vigilant.

This tense atmosphere lasted until Woodcorn saw who was coming, and then the tension turned into joy.

——(I never expected that this was actually the Feiqi family's cavalry. Are their horses so well-adapted to mountainous terrain?)

Woodcorn sighed and led his men to meet them. Being able to meet the people of the Feiqi family early was really the biggest surprise for him today.

·

The sound of galloping horses gradually slowed down, and the flags embroidered with the family crest fluttered.

Under the gaze of Woodcorn and his companions, the cavalry of the Scarlet Qi family arrived in front of them, and the leader was none other than the "Fire Blast Driggs" that Woodcorn wanted to see.

Woodcorn greeted him warmly, introduced himself generously, and then hugged and saluted Driggs.

Although Driggs looked very "petite" in front of the two-meter-two-meter-tall Woodcorn after getting off the horse, Woodcorn did not look down on Driggs. Instead, he felt the man's majestic aura more clearly.

Driggs exchanged pleasantries with Woodcorn in a dignified manner, and then focused on introducing his daughter, Viviana, who was accompanying him.

Woodcorn had actually heard of Viviana Scarlet before.

This girl, nicknamed the "Silver Queen Bee," is often compared to other geniuses, but her performance still lags behind the true genius, the "Reincarnated Son of God."

Although Woodcorn had heard of Viviana's name, he had no interest in her.

This is because Viviana is not strong enough and is not qualified to be called a "strong one". Secondly, the Yak people have never been very fond of strong people with "skills".

What the brave and powerful Yak People really like are strong people who can confront powerful enemies head-on like them.

A sixteen-year-old girl? With thin arms and legs, she should practice more.

"Good evening everyone, I'm Viviana Scarlett, and I'm grateful for your guidance."

The girl's sweet and melodious voice came from behind Driggs. Woodcorn shook his head secretly. The voice of a strong person should be deep and loud.

However, he did not show his preference, and still fulfilled the necessary etiquette.

Afterwards, the pleasantries were almost over, and the cavalry of the Feiqi family set up camp near Woodcorn and his group. Everyone helped each other cover and keep watch, and they spent the night safely.

·

The next morning, when Woodcorn was preparing to set off as usual, he was speechless to discover that his subordinates were acting "strangely".

Although the human subordinates that Woodcorn brought with him this time could not be said to be diligent and hardworking, they were not lazy either.

After waking up this morning, "I don't know why", these guys were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood!

Woodcorn saw this guy running over to feed water for the Feiqi family's horses, and then he saw that guy running over to help the Feiqi family's people carry things... In short, they were so enthusiastic that they almost joined the Feiqi family's team directly.

Soon, Woodcorn figured out what was going on.

10.92 - The marching teams

Woodcorn never dreamed that the reason his subordinates "betrayed" him would be "beauty".

The reason these human subordinates were so attentive at this moment was all to attract the attention of the "Silver Young Bee Queen Viviana".

Woodcorn admitted that Driggs's daughter was indeed beautiful, and her beauty was spiritual and beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Even though the girl covered half of her face with a pure white veil, it was still difficult to conceal her beautiful appearance that was about to burst out.

But how could the members of their Plateau Hearth Union be so frivolous?

Who would be so eager to show off just after meeting someone?

In Woodcorn's opinion, this can't be considered as love at all, it is clearly coveting someone's face and body!

——(These humans... are such a bunch of monkeys! They've completely disgraced our Plateau Furnace Guild!)

Although he was angry, Woodcorn did not show his dissatisfaction.

If you scold your subordinates at this time, you will really be stripping off your last bit of underwear.

In the current situation, Woodcorn could only transform it into enthusiasm for the Scarlet Qi family - at least, he hoped that Lord Driggs would understand it that way.

Thanks to the hard work of Woodcorn's men, the two teams set out early.

In the entire team, only Woodcorn himself did not ride a horse, but he was the one who walked the most easily in the entire team.

This shows the unique advantages that the Yak People have in the plateau area.

·

Considering that the Feiqi family arrived at the agreed location early to complete the rendezvous, Woodcorn appropriately slowed down the pace of the journey.

Whenever they passed through a town along the way, he would arrange for everyone to stay there and rest.

After passing through two small towns, Lord Feiqi took the initiative to find Woodcorn to talk.

Woodcorn initially thought that Driggs was going to ask about equipment customization, but he didn't expect that the lord would touch upon a recent major event in their Plateau Hearthfire Guild as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Mr. Vice President, I wonder if you've noticed that there have been many similar investigation requests in the Besent area recently."

As soon as Driggs finished his first sentence, Woodcorn guessed what the lord really wanted to ask from the key words in the sentence.

In fact, their Plateau Furnace Guild did not expect to keep it secret until the end, but it was discovered so quickly, which honestly surprised Woodcorn.

"A similar commission? Lord, we Yak-people aren't good at subtle thinking. You might as well be frank."

Woodcorn was being modest here, but in fact, there were many smart and capable people among their Yak people.

Here he just didn't want to be tricked by Lord Feiqi, so he was being humble and self-deprecating.

Lord Feiqi was also very straightforward. After hearing what Woodcorn said, he directly expressed his guess.

Lord Feiqi said that they passed through many towns along the way. Although they did not deliberately understand the situation of each task union branch, the information obtained from a cursory visit was enough to attract people's attention.

"Mr. Vice President, please forgive me if I'm wrong... My current thinking is that those investigation commissions targeting the Besent Basin were all issued by your Plateau Hearthfire Guild, right?"

·

A lord is a lord, indeed different from ordinary people.

After listening to Lord Scarlet's speculation, Woodcorn felt admiration for this man.

Now that the other party has seen through it, there is no need to hide it any longer. Woodcorn generously admitted that their Plateau Hearthfire Guild was indeed planning to attack the Bessant Basin.

The Besent Basin is located in the Besent Mountains, which in turn stand on the Besent Plateau. The entire area has a common name, the Besent region.

In order to obtain intelligence on the Besent Basin as quickly as possible and eliminate the monsters in the surrounding area, the Plateau Hearthfire Guild issued similar investigation commissions throughout the Besent area.

As long as they can take over the Bessent Basin, the production capacity of their Plateau Hearth Union will be able to reach a higher level.

"So that's how it is. I wonder if your progress is going smoothly?" asked Lord Feiqi.

"It's still okay at the moment. Intelligence is coming back continuously. When the time is right, we will march into the Bessent Basin."

Woodcorn's answer sounded humble, but was actually full of confidence.

Faced with a powerful outsider, he not only did not hide his future plans, but also revealed his true purpose.

With such magnanimity, it's no wonder he was able to serve as vice president.

However, Woodcorn did not mention a single word about the most crucial reason for investigating the Bessant Basin.

He chose to leave the question of what exactly was in the Besent Basin to Lord Scarlet.

"Thank you for your answer, Vice President. If there's anything our Feiqi family can do to help with the situation in the Besent Basin, please feel free to ask."

Lord Feiqi gave an answer here that was not only appropriate but also very pleasing.

He said he was "helping", but in fact he wanted a piece of the pie.

However, because Lord Scarlet Qi spoke very tactfully, Woodcorn did not feel particularly disgusted.

"Thank you, Lord. We will seek your assistance again when we need it."

Woodcorn formally dealt with the "trap" thrown by Lord Scarlet, and temporarily ended the conversation.

Rather than discussing these matters with intrigue and conspiracy, he wanted to see Lord Scarlet Qi fighting dangerous monsters.

——(We're about to begin crossing the Besent Mountains... Monsters living in the snowy mountains, whether or not you can have a good time this time... depends entirely on you.)

At the same time, somewhere in the Besent Mountains, a subhuman race on their migration just stopped to rest.

When the main group is resting, the members of the reconnaissance team will come out in full force, explore the road conditions ahead in advance while the group is not moving, and then bring back a safe and easy route for the tribal members.

The captain and deputy captain of this investigation team are old acquaintances of ours: Feng'er and Junzu.

Feng'er's ears can hear all kinds of useful information, while Junzu's speed can help Feng'er verify those uncertain places.

However, the cooperation between these once good partners has been stuck in recent days. Junzu can clearly feel that Feng'er seems to be out of shape.

There was actually a reason why Feng Er was in poor condition, but she hadn't figured out how to tell Junzu yet.

Feng Er had previously made a decision that when the migrating team stopped to rest at night, she would investigate the history of the Dark Rabbit clan to see if there were any common "characteristics" when each Dark Rabbit Queen was replaced.

[Note: See chapter "10.69 - The Beginning of the Journey"]

But after obtaining the information he wanted, Feng Er's mentality... collapsed.

10.93 - Wind-ear's worries

Before the investigation, Feng Er had a vague sense of foreboding.

The various abnormalities of his mother, the dangerous situation of the entire tribe, and the successive Dark Rabbit Queens who disappeared without a trace in history... These pieces of information that cannot be ignored are both the reason that prompted Feng Er to investigate and the "consequence" caused by the "truth of the matter."

After several consecutive nights of investigation, Feng Er has now initially grasped a key clue.

The clue is that all the Dark Rabbit Queens will soon "disappear" after the new queen completes the coronation ceremony.

The so-called "disappearance" can be divided into many situations.

Some are missing, some are traveling far away, and even worse, some are simply recorded as having "died of old age", and statements such as "accidental death" have also appeared.

If only a few Dark Rabbit Queens were like this, it would be understandable, but if almost all Dark Rabbit Queens were like this, it would be hard for Feng Er not to wonder whether there was some unspeakable secret in the handover between the old and new Dark Rabbit Queens.

Considering that most Dark Rabbit Queens were not in good health when they left office, Feng Er had actually thought about whether "these coincidences that were too overlapping" might be reasonable.

However, when Feng Er thought about the fact that this matter concerned his mother's safety, he could not analyze the problem rationally.

The world is indeed vast and there are many living beings, but when it comes to the issue of life and death, no life's death is deserved.

What made Feng Er even more uneasy was a decision recently announced by his mother.

A few days ago, Mother announced to all tribal members that after finding a new secluded place, she would begin selecting the next Dark Rabbit Queen.

For most members of the Dark Rabbit Clan, this was an announcement that made sense, because the current Dark Rabbit Queen was already over seventy years old, and according to the lifespan of the Dark Rabbit Clan, it was indeed time to look for a successor.

But to Feng Er, this was unacceptable bad news.

If Mother resigns from the position of Dark Rabbit Queen, will she soon "disappear" like the other Dark Rabbit Queens?

Feng Er doesn't want to be separated from his mother, and even more so, he doesn't want to be separated from her forever.

However, she cannot stop the replacement of the old and new Dark Rabbit Queens. All she can do is to discover the truth about the "disappearance" of the previous Dark Rabbit Queens and see if she can change her mother's fate.

"Wind Ear, are you listening to me, Wind Ear?"

At this moment, a small stone hit Feng'er's head, and the pain from her scalp brought her consciousness back to reality.

It was only then that she noticed that Striding Foot was talking to her. The fact that she, who was known for her good hearing, had made such a mistake fully demonstrated how worried she was.

"I heard it. What's the matter?" Feng Er replied pretending to be nothing.

When Junzu heard her "old" partner's reply, her ears almost stood up in anger. If they hadn't been born without any emotional fluctuations, she would have been riding on Fenger's body and spanking her.

[Note: The Dark Rabbits are different from the ordinary Rabbit People in that their ears are drooping.]

The reason why Junzu reacted like this was mainly because she had told Fenger many times that there were suspicious "traces" ahead.
