Chapter 54: Attack the Goblin Camp

"Slow down, slow down, huff~"

Tang Ruan hurriedly said, "Everyone slow your pace, the lord can't keep up."

"Understood." The women slowed their pace.

Gu Qing even came over to support Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi felt a warm softness against his arm.

It was enough to make one reluctant to leave.

But he couldn't let Gu Qing keep supporting him like that.

Zhao Chi panted heavily, "Huff~ Who... who says I can't keep up? We're going into battle... can't burn too much stamina, run slower, conserve energy... huff~"

Tang Ruan said, puzzled, "We haven't burned that much stamina though?"

She had 8 points in Constitution, so naturally she wasn't tired.

Gu Qing gently pulled Tang Ruan aside: "My lord is concerned about us, and also... thinks further ahead. Whatever he says goes."

Tang Ruan nodded. "Oh."

The other women nodded one after another.

They were indeed all a bit out of breath.

But with 8 points in Constitution, Gu Qing and Tang Ruan were only slightly winded at most.

Zhao Chi wiped the sweat from his forehead.

It would have been nice to bring some water.

Although three kilometers wasn't far, the ground beneath was grassland, surrounded by woods.

Not only did they have to watch their footing, making sure not to trip or twist an ankle,

they also had to constantly change direction to dodge trees — it could be considered a light cross-country run.

Running like that was exhausting.

After resting a short while, everyone's stamina recovered.

Zhao Chi said, "We're getting very close now. From here on, don't run — walk slowly, watch your step. The goblins may have set traps."

The women immediately looked around, carefully scanning the ground nearby.

Here the green grass still covered the ground, and the trees were relatively sparse.

"Keep moving forward. If you hear or see anything, report it."

"Yes!" the women answered softly.

Tang Ruan walked at the very front.

Gu Qing stayed behind Zhao Chi to protect him.

The other women were further back.

They walked another hundred-plus meters.

Through the gaps between the trees, they could see a wall of pure white appear ahead.

It wasn't a real wall, but a Mist Wall formed of white fog.

This Mist Wall rose towering into the clouds, and its ends could not be seen to either side.

That was the edge of the territory.

Zhao Chi's entire territory — or rather, every lord's Territory World — was surrounded by this kind of Mist Wall.

The mist was very thick.

Pure white, like clouds.

But it was very dangerous inside.

Once you entered, you would lose your way.

Chief Instructor Li Ruanyu had stressed this point many times.

Entering the mist would disrupt people's senses.

Sight, hearing, feeling — Quandou Society would go haywire.
