Chapter 1750: Suggestion

She turned to the others and said, "Next, we'll have to rely on you all to take us to the nearest city."

That group immediately expressed that there was no problem. Hilda sighed with relief, "Then we'll take our leave first."

Hilda and the others rode their horses away from here, while Zhao Yang sat on the horseback, looking at the scenery in the distance. Hilda saw the look in Zhao Yang's eyes. "Zhao Yang, what's wrong? Do you have something you want to say?"

"Nothing." Zhao Yang shook his head lightly.

Hilda sighed, "Are you still angry with me? Don't worry, I no longer blame you. After all, you helped me."

Zhao Yang smiled bitterly, "Hilda, we really can't go back to how things were before."

After hearing this sentence, Hilda's face darkened. "I understand what you mean, but..."

Zhao Yang cut her off. "It's good that you understand what I mean; we are originally people from two different worlds."

"If you are unwilling to be friends with me, I will absolutely not force you, nor will I compel you."

"That's not what I mean."

Zhao Yang sighed, "Forget it, let's talk about it slowly later."

Hilda looked at Zhao Yang's dejected appearance. "Zhao Yang, don't be sad. You are the only friend I know. No matter what happens in the future, I will not give up on you as a friend."

Zhao Yang raised his head, looked at the sun in the sky, and murmured to himself, "Perhaps you are right."

"Zhao Yang, we have already left that forest far behind," Wang Peng said.

"Mm."

Hilda looked ahead. "We have been away from that forest for a long time. I wonder what this country is called?"

"We don't know." Zhao Yang shook his head. Although they had crossed that forest, they were not particularly familiar with it.

Hilda lowered her head somewhat dejectedly; this journey was truly too long. She had even forgotten how she had survived.

Suddenly, she saw a few figures ahead and immediately shouted, "There are people ahead."

Zhao Yang and Wang Peng hurriedly looked in the direction she pointed and indeed saw a team galloping towards them. Hilda hurriedly tightened the reins, and the horse stopped.

Hilda jumped off the horse and walked in front of that group. She looked at the boy leading them; he had a delicate appearance and didn't seem very old. "This brother, may I ask who you people are?"

That youth saw Hilda and smiled slightly. "Hello, my name is Alvin. I wonder what Miss's name is?"

Hilda smiled slightly. "My surname is Hilda, and my name is Hilda. We are adventurers from the Northern Continent."

Alvin nodded. "The Northern Continent? I have actually heard of this continent."

Hilda asked curiously, "Brother Alvin, I heard that the humans on this continent are very united. Why do you say you have heard of this continent?"

Alvin looked at Hilda. "I once went to that place and also saw many humans. They very much like to fight in cooperation."

Hilda showed a joyful expression. "Really? Then does that mean the humans of the Northern Continent are relatively powerful?"

Alvin shook his head. "That's not quite so, but they are also very strong." He looked at the mountain range ahead, and envy flowed in his eyes. "Our ancestors once came to this continent, but for certain reasons, they could only leave here in a hurry. Although the spiritual energy here is very abundant and suitable for cultivation, this forest is extremely terrifying. Every time we come, it is a matter of life and death."

"Your ancestors once came to this continent?" Zhao Yang frowned. "But I heard the master of the forest is the Elf Clan. They should have no reason to trap humans here, right?"

Alvin sighed. "Who knows what their true purpose is? Anyway, we should leave this forest sooner rather than later."

Hilda nodded, then turned to say to Zhao Yang, "Zhao Yang, let's go."

Zhao Yang also nodded. "Mm, let's go."

They spurred their horses and left here, heading deeper into the forest. Hilda looked at the beautiful scenery around her and felt as if she had regained a trace of strength.

At this moment, Zhao Yang and Hilda arrived at the deepest part of the forest. Not long after they entered the forest, they encountered a demon beast, and it was a sixth stage demon beast—the Flame Lion King.

Hilda gripped the dagger in her hand tightly and stared alertly at that Flame Lion King. Zhao Yang stood aside watching their battle, but his mind thought of another matter.

The Flame Lion King's attack range was quite large, and its defense was extremely solid, so to kill the Flame Lion King, a great price would need to be paid.

Hilda and Zhao Yang cooperated seamlessly and quickly resolved the Flame Lion King.

Zhao Yang collected the Flame Lion King's crystal core and inner pill, and afterwards they found a large tree to rest.

Hilda took out roasted meat for Zhao Yang to eat. She glanced around, confirmed it was safe, and then started eating the roasted meat.

Zhao Yang gnawed on the roasted meat in his hand, feeling the flavor brought by the roasted meat, and couldn't help but sigh deeply. "It's been a long time since I tried such delicacy. These days have really been too hard on you." Hilda smiled slightly. "Nothing, I'm already used to it. Before, when we had nothing to eat, I even ate roasted wolf meat."

Zhao Yang couldn't help but be stunned. "Wolf meat? Where?"

Hilda pointed to a pile of white bones not far away. "It's the meat of those wolves we killed."

Zhao Yang shook his head. "You are still amazing."

Hilda chuckled. "There's nothing amazing or not amazing. Actually, I quite like eating roasted wolf meat too; I just don't know if the wolf meat in this forest would taste better."

"Don't even think about it; the wolf meat here might have some poison." Zhao Yang didn't want Hilda to have problems because of a momentary craving.

Hilda chuckled. "I know, I was just saying it for fun."
