Unknowingly, Wei Huo’s strength had increased again. Besides, his presence affected the surrounding plants. Wherever he walked, plants would mutate. If animals ate the leaves or fruits of these plants, they would mutate as well.

However, no one knew what these mutations would bring. Perhaps this was Wei Huo’s plan.

Wei Huo’s team kept moving forward. After walking for over 10 days, they finally saw a tall stone wall.

They had reached a city surrounded by stone walls. Behind the city was an arched mountain wall. The mountain wall was very tall and almost vertical. It was a natural barrier.

Led by Greenland, they finally approached the huge castle. Fortunately, the Dragon soldiers of the Black Dragon had not attacked this place yet. The reason should be that the Black Dragon’s main force had suddenly gone south, so the city had been spared.

Even so, the soldiers in the city still had to deal with the Crawling Dragons that appeared occasionally.

Greenland led Wei Huo and the others up to the castle. They walked up a hillside and soon arrived at the entrance of the castle. There were a few soldiers guarding the place. Every soldier’s eyes were like the eyes of an eagle. They were very nervous and often looked up to see if there were flying dragons passing by.

After Greenland took out the letter, the soldiers made way for them. Wei Huo and the others continued walking. Soon, they saw reserve soldiers training on the field. Rather than saying they were soldiers, one should say that they were more like children. They came in different sizes, and the oldest was only 16 years old, while the youngest was only 8 or 9 years old. Children who were 8 or 9 years old were only learning. They were too young to become qualified soldiers immediately.

However, based on this scene, one could tell how tense the situation in the castle was. They really did not have many troops!

What was important was that the weapons used by the soldiers in the castle were very special. A group of patrolling soldiers had just passed by, and their weapons had been engraved with weird runes. The weapons were nothing special, but the runes revealed special abilities that made people very concerned.

Wei Huo and the others stayed in the field for the time being, while Greenland went to meet the commander. Soon, the commander arrived at the field himself.

He was a man in his fifties, his body was strong and solid, and he had the demeanor of a soldier. His hair was white, and he had a beard. He also had a sword, and there was a pipe at his waist.

The sword was a rapier, and the hilt was also carved with runes. The runes emitted energy and were stronger than the runes on the soldiers’ weapons.

The commander observed Wei Huo and the others carefully. In the end, he removed his military cap and expressed his gratitude to Wei Huo and the others. “Thank you for saving my messenger. He brought me important information. This concerns the survival of our army!”

The commander said a few words and handed over three daggers. He then said, “This is your reward for rescuing the messenger. Please accept it. If you are willing to help me, I will give you an even better reward.”

The commander seemed like he was issuing a quest, as Wei Huo and company had been traveling the Western Continent as players. After all, without a player’s identity, they would not be able to enjoy translation services.

Wei Huo said, “I’ll be integrated into the Western Continent as a player this time.”
