Pillar of Yita Chapter 72 - 7 Welcome Back to the Rookie Zone3

Fang Hong scratched his head; this was the first ti his knowledge from the second world had co into play. Indeed, the second world also contained many relics of the Nulin Elves, which was a very strange thing.

"However, I will not let that damned arms dealer get away," the French girl added bitterly.

However, Fang Hong was pessimistic about this. He believed that it would be very difficult for Tianlan to fulfill her words. If the other party was relying on them to bring the statue back, they must have anticipated these issues in advance.

This technique of hitting with a stick then offering a carrot was sothing Miss Sicape mastered, and he had suffered greatly from it in the past.

However, he wisely kept silent.

Suddenly, Fang Hong felt that he was no longer the naive youngster who knew nothing; at least he had learned how to weigh the pros and cons, thanks to the consistent guidance of Miss Sicape.

"So, are we headed to the Traveler's camp now?" he asked again.

He had perceived early on that the direction of the team's march was wrong. Theoretically, traveling towards the Elpaxin Region should have been due south, but this team had been moving east since the morning.

"Don't worry," Atira spoke to him gently, "We are just going there to rest for a bit; we will depart for Elpaxin soon."

Fang Hong shook his head; he wasn't in a hurry, it was just a question. He was indeed curious about the Traveler's Camp, which was quite famous. More than just a campsite, it was a large inn located between the Traveler's Forest and Elpaxin.

A very large inn.

"Yes, Brother Ade," Tianlan also chid in persuasively, "The Traveler's Camp is really interesting, plus we need to return to the 'base' before going to Elpaxin."

"Base?"

The French girl winked at him playfully: "That's Luo Yu's masterpiece; you'll understand soon."

The Traveler's Forest is actually an extension of Egon Forest.

This place also has a more formal na, called Traveler's Swamp, because in the past, the swamp was situated on the essential route between Elpaxin and another city of Rainbow Bay, 'Charter City.'

When the group arrived at the edge of the swamp at dusk, the swamp seed even darker and gloomier, shrouded in thick fog. A rickety pier extended into the fog, with faint lights glowing in the distance.

The lights within the fog were lanterns hung by the people at the camp, Tianlan inford him, hence the pier was maintained.

Had Fang Hong not encountered Atira and the others, he never would have dread there was a civilized camp within a day's journey, and he felt incredibly fortunate.

Approaching closer, there was a crooked signpost next to the pier with peeling bark and covered in moss, clumsily marked with a dagger:

'Traveler's Camp'

'Traveler's Path'

'Traveler's Swamp'

The Traveler's Path was actually the terrestrial road to 'Charter City,' but since 'air transportation' beca convenient, the path had long been abandoned. Now adventurers often use it as a shortcut deeper into the Traveler's Swamp.

Fang Hong also noticed several wooden crosses not far away, with unnad adventurers buried underneath, likely interred by their companions or passing travelers.

The owners of these tombstones had either returned to reality or had completely surrendered to the embrace of this world.

For a regular person, crossing these tombstones symbolized moving from the 'rookie' area in Elpaxin into a more dangerous advanced area. However, for Fang Hong, it felt peculiar—

because he was essentially moving from an advanced area back to a 'rookie' area.

So when he saw that sign, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He was finally back where he belonged.
