Chapter 458: Reaching a Town (1/2)

As they left the village, they found that the trails and pathways they had been using so far changed into roads with gravel, clearly, they were much more used than the ones that lead towards the forest.

While it was a normal gravel road, it was much better than walking on a pathway that would vanish at one time, or turn into an animal trail at another.

These gravel roads were definitely leading towards civilization, and thus, towards soldiers and other armies.

Xue Wei and the others walked down the gravel road for a whole day without meeting another village, or any signs of life, but the road was getting bigger and bigger, and soon they reached a crossroads where the road they were currently walking split into two others.

Xue Wei looked at the two roads. One looked more deserted than the other. Grass and weeds were growing amongst the gravel, and it did not seem to be as frequently traveled as the other.

It was easy to guess which road to take.

Heading towards the more used road, Xue Wei and the others walked on the worn-down stones, heading towards a bigger town.

Although Xue Wei and his friends were soldiers sent here from the Demon Phoenix Continent, they felt more like tourists.

There were no warriors or soldiers around the area, and the citizens completely ignored Xue Wei and his comrades.

It was clear that they were unaware that Xue Wei was a soldier from the Demon Phoenix Continent.

Next, they arrived at a bigger town, not a village like the ones they had seen so far, and while the town was bigger, there were also stronger experts. Within the town they could detect the aura of at least eleven Saint ranked experts.

Xue Wei was standing outside the town and contemplating. Should they take the chance and enter to scout for some information, or should they take a risk and avoid the civilized areas while stumbling around looking for the military camp?

Xue Wei was not one to cower in front of danger, so it did not take him long to decide that they were going to enter the town.

Luoluo and Bai Tianyi were both completely calm and collected, but Hei Gou and Lin Xiao felt the backs of their hands wet from their cold sweat.

They were extremely nervous, and feared that they would be noticed at any moment, after which the entire town would face off against them.

Seeing their nervousness, Xue Wei's lips twitched in amusement. If they were so nervous, it was likely that others would notice them, while those who were confident and calm would not be doubted.
