Rise of the Plants

Now she still has to rely on Chi Nan. Although Sophila had some objections, she still didn't say anything.

Soon, some dry food was boiled and cooked haphazardly, so there was no way it would taste good. But these people, who have been hungry for who knows how long, don't care about the taste at all, and would rather burn it to death than stuff it into their mouths.

Fortunately, Chi Nan was prepared in advance and was worried that they would have problems if they ate too much, so everyone was given a small bowl of the porridge and it only took a few bites to finish it. Seeing so many glowing eyes looking at him, Chi Nan spread his hands and said, "We have enough food. Don't worry, you won't be hungry along the way."

Chi Nan asked the bald father to show them. Everyone was a little excited when they saw the food, but thinking of Chi Nan's fighting power, although everyone moved, no one dared to step forward.

Chi Nan continued: "Don't be like this. You have been hungry for so long. If you eat too much, you will starve to death. Besides, we are on our way soon. If you can't walk by then, you will have to stay here and wait to die."

When they heard that their life and death were at stake, everyone immediately calmed down. But these people still can't help but look at the food from time to time. Chi Nan knew that people like them might not be able to carry this food. If you let them carry it, it won't take long for them to finish the food and cause problems of their own.

There is still a certain distance between here and Blackstone Fortress. At their speed, it would be good to arrive within two days. Therefore, two days' worth of food is a must, and Chi Nan doesn't want to just rely on his own strength to make food.

But just as he was setting off, something happened that made Chi Nan depressed. Because Sophila's guard actually stepped forward to take away the horses that Chi Nan and others brought when they came here.

"What are you doing? This is our horse." Chi Nan frowned and stepped forward to stop the other party.

The bald father and One Leg stood aside, with anger in their eyes, but no one dared to intercept him.

"This horse has been requisitioned now. If you have a mount, of course you need it. The nobles must use it first." The guard said matter-of-factly.

Chi Nan waved his hand and took out a few seeds, and the green light in his hand glowed faintly. "There are cripples and old people here. Why should they be used by people with intact legs and feet? If you insist, please leave here."

The guard unsheathed his long sword and pointed it at Chi Nan: "Civilian, do you know what you are talking about?"

Chi Nan refused to give in, and the two people confronted each other in the middle. The rescued civilians around were like quails. No one dared to say anything. The level gap between nobles and civilians was too big.

Just when it was about to break out, Sophila finally rushed over. Seeing the situation here, Sophila immediately said: "Back off, don't mess around. What we need now is to unite to return to the Blackstone Fortress."

It seems that there is finally a smart person. If he makes trouble at this time, he is simply looking for death. In fact, Sophila was also helpless and glared at Chi Nan fiercely. She had never seen someone who didn't take the nobles seriously. However, people like this also make people feel at ease. At least they don't have to worry about being abandoned by Chi Nan when they are in danger.

"But, but this..." The guard looked anxious, as if he wanted to express his life.

But Sophira immediately interrupted him: "I know that the situation is different now, and there are no resources for us to enjoy it. Let's just follow what Mr. Chi Nan said. I'll be looking after you along the way." Sophira bent down and bowed.

Chi Nan also took back the seeds: "Sorry, I was too excited. It's just that this person is very useful to us, because only he knows how to take the path." Chi Nan hesitated, pointed to a leg and said.

Chi Nan also knows that in this world it is best not to go against the nobles, otherwise there will be no good end. Sophila looks so reasonable now, but who knows what will happen when she goes back.

For the sake of the future, Chi Nan can only find an excuse temporarily. Sure enough, when Chi Nan said this, the guard's expression relaxed a lot. If you want to leave, you can only rely on one leg. And if one leg is missing, naturally it cannot keep up with the speed of the road and can only rely on horses. In this way, it can be said that it is for the safety of the nobles.

Chi Nan looked at Sawyer who was following Sophila and sighed: "There is no problem with this horse carrying two people, just one leg and Sawyer. Sawyer is the only child here after all."

There are no children among the refugees because the children have died long ago. Sophira bowed again: "Thank you so much, Sawyer. Remember to be obedient and don't move around when you get on the horse."

Sophira gently stroked her brother's head. Sawyer didn't know what he was thinking, and finally nodded vigorously. Does this little guy seem to be very sensible? Chi Nan thought to himself.

"Okay, it's getting late. Let's hurry up. It will get dark if we keep going like this."

Chi Nan, who didn't want to waste time, had already begun to hurry on. Others have nothing to deal with. We found a few stronger people to bring some dry food, put the rest on the horses, and everyone set off immediately.

Even though they didn't have much strength in their body, the refugees rushed to keep up, and no one dared to fall behind. They all know that once they fall behind, it is absolutely impossible to survive in this place on their own.

Now it seems that there are some grass roots and bark for him to eat, but how can this be regarded as normal food. Those wild orcs are all big-bellied kings, and they will eat everything they encounter. They are simply more terrifying than locusts. Soon, Remas will become a place with nothing to eat. Because wherever there is food, there will be a large number of wild orcs.

At the front, one leg held Sawyer while riding a horse, walking slowly to take care of those behind. It can be seen that Sophila herself does not have much strength, but she is gritting her teeth and persisting.

Even a girl can persist like this, how can a man lose to her? So Chi Nan gave up the idea of ​​resting, gritted his teeth and moved on. At least with the magic of life in his body, Chi Nan's physical recovery speed is very fast.

The group walked for more than two hours and finally arrived at the trail before dark. Speaking of which, this is really a small road. One side is overgrown with weeds and there are big trees everywhere, blocking the road tightly. On the other side is a large rocky cliff, with only a road in the middle that can only accommodate two people passing through.

On this road, there are still a lot of weeds, shrubs, vines and other things that must be split to pass. The ground is also full of rocks and mud. When walking, one foot is deep and the other is shallow. It is difficult for ordinary people to walk on this kind of road.
