Chapter 11: The Earth Spirit

  Coughing violently!!!!

  If it hadn't been for that mournful death cry, Luo Wei felt he would have definitely slept until the sun was high in the sky.

  Damn it, how did I fall asleep?

  Rovin suddenly woke up, he had already forgotten when he fell asleep.

  As he opened his eyes, Rove saw the corpse of Gudrak and Tarrant, about three or four meters away from him, faithfully performing their guard duties. They were jointly attacking a creature that had already been knocked to the ground, a roughly one-and-a-half-meter-tall, pointed-eared, green-skinned humanoid.

  "Mr. Luo Wei, this must be a terrestrial spirit scout!"

  The one who can say this sentence to Luo Wei is obviously Felicia.

  Earth Spirit Scout?

  In other words, a large number of earthworms have already taken me as their hunting target?

  Rovin stood up and walked towards the crime scene, stopping Guderak and Teraet from attempting to devour the earth spirit probe.

  Unfortunately, Luo Wei's stop was a bit late, the goblin scout's body was covered in torn wounds that were bleeding profusely, its life had already reached its end.

  Unlike the memories from various Earth's audiovisual works and descriptions, the deceased Goblin Scout didn't have a gaunt appearance like a starving ghost. Although it was about the same height as Wu Dalang, it looked quite sturdy.

  Even this earth spirit scout carries a weapon, a rusty iron chopper.

  So it was only natural that Goodluck and Tyrant's mummy wrappings, personally applied by Luo, had several more layers of tears.

  How strong would the elite warriors of the earth elementals be if even such robust ones were sent out as scouts?

  After crossing over, Luo Wei had been hiding in Nai Frey Mine Village and didn't know the answer, but fortunately, Luo Wei could now ask -

  "Felicia, are all the earth spirits here as robust as you?"

  Luo Wei asked.

  "Mr. Rovin, shouldn't this be a Gnome of the Earth? I thought it was said that in the entire Feruja Mountain Range, there were only Gnomes of the Earth and Bear Gnomes?"

  Felicia looked puzzled, she didn't understand why Rovi would ask such a question that overturned her worldview.

  "Don't mind Felicia too much." Rovellio awkwardly rubbed his nose, understanding that his "ignorant transmigrator" identity had been exposed, but he quickly came up with a way to salvage the situation. He said, "Whatever, just don't tell anyone, I still can't tell the difference between earth spirits and land spirits."

  "Ah, sorry Mr. Lovi! I thought spellcasters understood everything..."

  Ferithia, who had a look of sudden realization on her face, quickly apologized to Rovier.

  "So, don't mind Felicia too much." Rove rubbed his nose again and said: "You haven't answered my question about... uh, this Earth Spirit yet."

  "Good, Mr. Rovin!" Felicia nodded her small head hastily, glancing at the corpse of the large earth spirit explorer on the ground before finally giving the answer Rovin wanted to know: "Whether it's my grandmother or everyone else, they all say that in the Ferro Mountains, there are only earth spirits and bear spirits. The solitary bear spirits aren't very dangerous, but the earth spirits are extremely hateful, they always live in groups of at least seven or eight..."

  Under Felicia's detailed explanation, Rovio finally understood the brief intelligence about the land spirits in this mountainous area called Ferrogha.

  According to Felicia, even the strongest Earth Golem can't beat a Bear Golem, and the combat power of the Bear Golem seems to be weaker than that of Rowen's Skeleton Tarent.

  The good news is that they are naturally weak against magic. The bad news is that the Drow can use metal weapons which will penetrate armor, and they also have a tendency to gang up on their prey in packs.

  "This is really terrible news."

  Rovy, who had carefully calculated his own combat strength, didn't think that he could safely bring Felicia to their destination, Asrat, even if he were surrounded by several sturdy earth golems wielding metal weapons.

  "Felicia, it seems we'll have to take a detour from the gravel road to get to Aslat."

  So in the end, Rove gave Felicia a final decision that he absolutely did not want to become a dwarf's food for the sake of saving time.

  "It's all right, Mr. Rovin, but..." Felicia nodded towards Rovin, but immediately shifted her gaze beyond him to look in the direction of Neserel Mine Village: "Mr. Rovin, could you take a detour and not pass by the village? I don't want to see the destroyed village, nor do I want to see everyone turned into plague zombies."

  "Let's go." Luo Wei naturally wouldn't refuse such a request, although he immediately followed up with a condition: "But on the condition that you lead the way."

  Felicia nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with a grateful expression.

  Whatever Rovin's intentions were, Ferri clearly took Rovin's demands as a thoughtful consideration.

  About ten minutes later, the two of them hastily set off on their journey, and under the threat of a possible attack by the Earth Essence, Luo Wei even discarded some unimportant items.

  Until Felicia, who was walking ahead to guide the way, let Rovin see the great tomb where he descended into this other world again, the worst earth spirit corps imagined were still just Rovin's imagination.

  Subconsciously looking into the large tomb, Luo Wei did not see the remains of the deceased spirit magic apprentice who was killed by him and then eaten by half of the civilian zombies.

  It was probably dragged away and eaten clean by some scavenging animal.

  Lovi didn't think too much, withdrew his gaze and continued on his way. He wouldn't feel guilty or terrified about killing the Death Spirit magic apprentice, because even if it happened again, he would still do the same thing.

  At noon, Luo Wei finally bid farewell to the deep wheel tracks of the rural roads and stepped onto the "gravel road from Banaham to Kandia in the mountains" that Ferilia had mentioned.

  Although it is called the gravel road, this winding road paved with gravel in the mountains is roughly equivalent to a rural highway on Earth. The widest part of Rovi's line of sight is less than four meters.

  But it can't be denied that this gravel road is amazingly solid, as Rovi saw countless stone pillars and iron pillars on both sides of the road, all of which were deeply inserted into the earth, and between them was a tightly sealed giant stone foundation wall.

  He withdrew his gaze, and four words involuntarily emerged in Luo Wei's mind - sparing no expense!

  Without large machinery, building such a solid road would require an astronomical amount of manpower and resources!

  Only a mighty and prosperous empire could bear the burden of building this gravel road.

  But looking at the stone walls that exude an ancient atmosphere, and the plants growing out of the roadbed, as well as the ruts on the gravel road stretching towards the distant mountain foot in varying depths, Luo Wei couldn't help but deduce that the answer was that the gravel road had actually been built a long time ago.

  "My grandmother once told me that the village was built because of the construction of the gravel road, now the gravel road is about to be abandoned, and the village..."

  Felicia sighed with a tone far beyond her age, but her sigh was interrupted by the incessant tolling of a slightly larger bell that came with a slight tremor.

  Has anyone ever heard the sound of a horse bell ringing as loud as a temple's great bell?

  The dividing line of seeking points and collecting income

  Uh, during the new book period, in order to rush into the new book charts, the next chapter's update time has been postponed to 12:00 tonight.
