Chapter 212: Thorny Mountain Range (Revised)

  No mistake, at this moment, I saw that the four men and one woman who met at noon were also in this store.

  The Star Moon City at night, there were not many people in this type of store. At this moment, there were only a few people in this store. Along with the few adventurers, it looked desolate.

  As for those adventurers, they should be enjoying their lives in the bars with those heavily made-up ladies at this time. After all, these people may set foot on a dangerous path tomorrow, and whether they can come back is a question. Even if they come back, when will it be? Relaxation is an indispensable thing for adventurers.

  Feng Yang also saw Wang Chen's arrival and let out a cold snort when he saw him.

  He walked straight into the store, came to the counter, and listed out the items he needed to buy. A pile of food cost Wang Chen a total of fifty gold coins, which was enough to support him for three months in the castle. Of course, if he entered the Thorny Mountains, these foods paired with the demon beasts hunted there would be enough to sustain Wang Chen for half a year!

  Looking at the food in front of him that was as small as a mountain, Wang Chen directly stored these foods into his storage space.

  This made everyone in the store stare in shock.

  Storage space, Wang Chen's body actually had storage space, which shocked everyone to the core.

  What does storage space represent? It represents status and money. How can ordinary people possibly have it.

  The shopkeeper was just wondering why this young man wanted to buy so much food, but at this moment he suddenly realized that he had storage space.

  If it were an ordinary adventurer, they would generally only buy seven to ten days' worth of food, which was enough for them to go on an adventure once. But with Wang Chen having storage space, things were completely different.

  Similarly, Feng Yang and others were also astonished.

  Especially Feng Yang, seeing the dark storage space on Wang Chen's wrist, a hint of greed and jealousy appeared in his eyes.

  Storage space, what kind of luck can an adventurer have? This guy must have had some dogshit luck to pick it up. In Feng Yang's opinion, Wang Chen's storage space was definitely picked up by chance in the thorny mountain range while adventuring.

  After all, the Thorny Mountain Range is fraught with danger, and many people have gone there, including some young masters of great aristocratic families! These people may have storage spaces, just like Xia Xue beside him. She has a storage space.

  And when these people encounter danger and die, the storage space naturally remains on their corpse, which may be picked up by other adventurers.

  It's not unheard of for something like this to happen, and it's often heard that some adventurer didn't hunt down any magical beasts in the Thorny Mountains, but instead picked up some great treasures or secret manuals on martial arts techniques, and then made a fortune.

  Looking at Wang Chen, Feng Yang's eyes kept changing, this damned adventurer actually had such luck. Storage space, that was something even Feng Yang didn't have. This made him feel a bit unbalanced in his heart, and his eyes flashed with cold light, as if thinking about something.

  At this moment, several other adventurers in the store also flashed a glimpse of light in front of their eyes, exchanged a glance, and curled up a cold smile at the corner of their mouths.

  As for Xia Xue, who was standing beside Feng Yang, she also took a few more glances at Wang Chen. The feeling Wang Chen gave her was that he wasn't simple at all, and didn't seem like an ordinary adventurer. How could an adventurer possibly have storage space? Thinking about this, Xia Xue's gaze towards Wang Chen became even more curious and suspicious.

  With a slight tilt of her head, Xia Xue gave off an eerie and mysterious vibe at this moment.

  As for all this, Wang Chen seemed to be unaware of it, and after putting away the food, he walked out of the store without noticing that he had already been stared at.

  As Wang Chen left, several adventurers in the store looked at each other and nodded before quickly leaving the store as well.

  Leaving behind a figure, watching Wang Chen leave, Feng Yang's mouth corner revealed a hint of cold smile: "He is dead for sure!"

  "What's wrong?" Xia Xue asked with some confusion, slightly furrowing her brow.

  "A place like Star Moon City actually dares to take out storage space! In this place, without enough strength, taking out this thing is simply courting death. Especially storage space, it's the most beloved thing of adventurers!" Feng Yang said with a playful tone, while lowering his head as if thinking about something.

  Of course, these principles were also told by his senior fellow disciples in the sect.

  Wealth should not be revealed, especially in a place like Xingyue City, where danger and bloodshed are rampant. Without sufficient strength or ability, revealing precious wealth is suicidal behavior.

  Obviously, Wang Chen's experience is still a bit lacking, and he doesn't understand many things.

  Back at the hotel, Wang Chen returned to his room in no time and once again devoted himself to cultivation. Tonight was his last night of cultivation, and tomorrow he would set foot into the thorny mountain range, where his trial life would begin.

  ……………………

  In summer, the sky is brighter than usual early in the morning. At dawn, the sun has already climbed above the horizon, driving away the darkness and illuminating the entire land.

  Xingyue City was bustling again. So early, the hotel was already filled with the sound of people's voices.

  Adventurers in the hall shouted loudly and then walked out of the hotel in groups of three or five.

  Another morning, another adventurous start, another group of people set off towards the thorny mountains.

  Countless dreams start again from here, with dreams in their hearts, adventurers begin their lives of blood and fire once more after a brief rest.

  Following the crowd, Wang Chen also headed towards the Thorny Mountain Range. There were many people, with hundreds of them setting out for the Thorny Mountain Range every day!

  On both sides of the street, shops had already opened. At this time when adventurers set out at dawn, Xingyue City was particularly lively.

  Cheers and shouts filled the air, with whistles ringing in our ears.

  "Hey, I'm telling you, Mountain Tiger, this time when we go into the Thistle Mountains, don't come back crying like a woman!"

  "Old Cow, this time you won't be able to hunt down another demon beast again, haha..."

  "Hey brothers, set out with dreams and return with wealth, there are plenty of women waiting for your glorious return!"

  "Haha... Yeah, lots of women!"

  "These chicks are waiting for you to come back and conquer them, brothers! Don't forget to make some money when you get back! Otherwise, these chicks won't let you climb on their bellies!"

  There are some adventurers who have just returned and are in their adjustment period, seeing off their friends, shouting and teasing, always looking so relaxed.

  There are also some heavily made-up women appearing, waving their hands and striking poses, revealing their beautiful manners, smiling and occasionally casting a flirtatious glance at some old clients.

  Walking out of Xingyue City's west gate, crossing the narrow mountain path, arriving at the foot of the Thorny Mountain Range.

  Inside the thorny mountain range, people were also coming out one after another at this time, with a tired expression, tattered clothes, and the smell of blood lingering on them, looking extremely disheveled.

  Every day, hundreds of people set out towards the thorny mountain range with dreams in their hearts, and many also return from within the thorny mountain range with feelings of loss or excitement.

  From the looks of these people, it can be seen that they are miserable and have suffered a lot in the thorny mountain range. Many people's faces carry a hint of sadness and heaviness, and apparently some people have become food for monsters in the thorny mountain range.

  Dreams start from here and also end here, life's hope blooms here, and life's hope and fate will also fall here, this is the life of adventurers.

  Crowds kept entering the thorny mountain range, and Feng Yang and Xia Xue's group was also among them, Wang Chen noticed slightly.

  As the crowd gradually disappeared into the dense forest, the originally densely packed large team was left with only a few people.

  Look at the sky, look at the endless mountain range in front of you. Wang Chen took a deep breath, and the thorny mountain range was indeed magnificent! This is the widest area of the first layer of the Wailing Plains, stretching for over 100 miles, occupying two-fifths of the territory of the first layer of the Wailing Plains.

  Starting from Xingyue City, it began to spread and can even extend all the way to a small border town in Tianfeng Kingdom.

  He lifted his feet and finally set foot on this boundless land.

  But Wang Chen did not notice that behind him, at this moment, there were three adventurers following him with a hint of viciousness in their eyes. These people turned out to be the same adventurers he met in the store last night!

  It's just that Wang Chen didn't notice these people at the time, and after buying food, he left immediately! Otherwise, if he had paid a little attention to this moment, he might have discovered something unusual.

  After going deep into the thorny mountain range for thousands of meters, the forest gradually became denser!

  Trees that have grown for hundreds or thousands of years are lush and dense, with thick leaves blocking the originally bright sunlight! The ground is covered with a thick layer of damp fallen leaves, and weeds grow in profusion. One step down, and you can sink into a footprint!

  This place also left behind a row of deep footprints.

  "The sunlight is dim, the weeds are dense, the fallen leaves cover the ground, and the trees are densely packed. Who knows how many dangers there will be in such a place? I estimate that even if a wild beast is hiding around, it would be hard to detect!" Seeing this, Wang Chen let out a sigh, muttered to himself, and became even more vigilant in his heart.

  "The battle has begun!" Then, with a sigh, Wang Chen carefully walked forward, releasing all the spiritual energy around him to carefully explore!

  The mountain ranges in the thorny mountains are continuous, and various plants have been growing for many years, making it very troublesome to travel in the thorny mountains. The most troublesome thing is that you often need to climb over mountains and cross ridges, or even take a detour.

  The thorny mountain range is called the thorny mountain range because, in addition to the towering trees inside the forest, various thorns also occupy a piece of land and grow together with the forest.

  In places where trees are dense, due to the darkness and humidity, thorns retreat and rarely exist. However, in places where trees are sparse, thorns immediately appear. Various dense thorns can bring a lot of trouble and danger to people. And these thorny lands are also the most dangerous places in the Thorns Mountains, where adventurers generally do not dare to enter.

  The most direct manifestation is that these dense thorns often become the lair of some ferocious beasts due to dryness and concealment, and the ferocious beasts hide in them, with danger lurking everywhere, even more so than in dense forests!

  "In the thorny mountain range, advance without clearing the thorns on the way, it's better to take a detour. Before he knew it, Ling Zhan had already appeared beside Wang Chen. He explained to Wang Chen, imparting some of the most basic experiences."
