Chapter 410: Magic Thorns

When Yi Xing came to the inn to rent a horse, he didn't expect that he would need so much money.

The cost of this deposit is already as much as buying a horse directly.

According to the instructions of the inn, after renting the horse until it is returned, the daily rental fee will be deducted from the deposit.

Therefore, if you rent it for a long time and the rent exceeds the deposit, the station will assume that you have bought the horse and you do not have to pay it back.

He went back to negotiate with the client, but the employer was still unwilling to pay the deposit in advance.

After all, the money is big enough. If Yi Xing rode away and ran away, he would lose too much.

Since Yi Xing has no fixed assets in this city and no guarantor, the post station will naturally not be willing to lend the horse if it cannot come up with enough money.

This left Yoshiyuki to think about how to get to Oak Town.

After asking several people, Yoshiyuki learned that there was no train service there. There is no direct airship.

If you want to go by stage coach, the other party is not willing to take the route that is within reach.

As for the cat bus, there is also no direct line nearby.

Yoshiyuki was thus in a dilemma.

He studied the map again and finally came up with a last resort plan: hitchhiking.

Yi Xing split the road from Seagull Harbor to Oak Town into three sections. Let A, B, C, and D be the points of the three segments respectively.

From point A to point B, there are often carriages going that way. As long as he has a thick skin, it shouldn't be difficult to find someone willing to give him a ride.

Point B to point C is a more dangerous road.

You need to pass through a canyon eroded by the power of nightmares.

The reason why the mail carriage takes several extra days after taking a detour is because if it passes through the canyon from point B to point C, it is almost a straight line.

Once you want to make a detour, you need to go around the entire mountain, which is quite a big circle.

All in all, as long as you break through this canyon, the last section from point C to point D is very simple and easy.

After deciding what to do, Yi Xing immediately took action to find someone who might give him a ride.

It didn't take long. He quickly caught a ride and got off the car in front of the canyon, preparing to cross this area full of unknown dangers.

However, something unexpected happened.

The entrance to the canyon was actually sealed by thorny thorns filled with life magic energy.

They are tightly blocked, with several overlapping layers in front and back, blocking the entrance area, making it almost airtight. You can only peek through some gaps to see what's going on on the other side.

Tsk…

Is it forbidden to enter or exit because the nightmare has eroded the interior?

While I think there’s nothing wrong with taking action to prevent people from falling victim to harm…

But neither the client nor the guild mentioned this matter to me!

It’s newly blocked, so the news hasn’t reached there yet? !

In any case, if the reply cannot be received on time, the client will not pay the money.

Even if you explain it, it makes no sense!

You have to find a way to get in...

Can these thorns be cut?

With Yoshiyuki thinking this, he pulled out his demon sword and slashed at the thorns.

However, these magical thorns are very strong.

A single strike of the knife will not cause any damage to it at all.

Even if Yoshiyuki tried to throw out the flaming sword energy, the thorns would quickly stop burning and return to their blackened appearance.

It seemed that these thorns were cast with a powerful protective spell.

If an expert of Miss Eldest's level were here, it would be possible to get in touch with her.

But it is impossible for ordinary mages to crack it. What about Yi Xing, who is not good at magic?

Seeing that there was nothing he could do about the thorns, Yoshiyuki began to think of other ways to enter the canyon.

For example, are there possibly other entrances nearby?

Even if it’s just a hole I can crawl into!

With this expectation, Yoshiyuki began to explore around.

However, at least around here, you can't see that kind of thing.

There wasn't even a mouse hole leading inside.

Although it was possible to find it by continuing to walk around the edge... However, Yoshiyuki was not going to place his hopes on it.

Because it's such a waste of time to look for other entrances that don't exist and keep wandering around the edges.

Not only do we not know how long it will take to find it, but it is also possible that such a passage does not exist at all.

Yi Xing believes that it is better to think about countermeasures in a down-to-earth manner.

for example……

Is it possible to jump or climb up the mountain wall to directly bypass the entrance blocked by thorns and get inside?

Yoshiyuki thought this was a pretty good idea for a while.

But he soon gave up.

First, the cliff is very high. It's impossible to jump directly onto it.

Second, it is unrealistic to climb up.

The rock wall was so smooth that there were almost no footholds.

Even if you want to stab the rock wall with a weapon and use it as a foothold to climb up, it is unrealistic.

Because, when the rock wall is high enough, many weapons or tools that are strong enough to pierce the rock wall are needed to create a climbing point before you can climb to the top.

Ke Yixing only had a demon sword and a wooden sword at hand.

Even if he knows some strengthening spells, the extent to which he can enhance weapons is limited. And basically it is only strengthened in that it is not easily damaged.

It definitely does not mean that you can directly strengthen the jerky in your hand to be as strong as a chisel.

He stood beside the thorn and thought for a long time.

Slowly, some strange thoughts began to come to mind.

For example...

Is it possible to dig a hole directly?

No need to dig far tunnels.

He just needed to get around the thorns enough to get behind the plant barrier.

For a moment, Yoshiyuki even felt that he was a genius.

Then, I felt that this was beyond stupid.

Not to mention that he didn't have a shovel anymore - even for a man of his physical ability, it would take quite a while to dig a tunnel.

Thinking about it, he sat in front of the thorn barrier and couldn't help but sigh.

Yoshiyuki picked up the demon mask, stared at it, and frowned.

After wearing this thing, the flame intensity is not strong enough to burn these thorns.

But your physical fitness will be greatly enhanced...

…

Um?

Got it! Why didn't I think of you?

Is it possible to create two footholds and then use them to triple jump up the cliff?

Yi Xing suddenly fell into excitement.

His idea is this.

Relying on the increase in strength and throwing accuracy of the evil ghost mask, the two knives were thrown towards the high cliff, making them two fulcrums with different heights.

Then, relying on the increased jumping power, the moment he steps on the first knife, he jumps again, so that he can jump to the second knife.

Repeat the jump again and you'll be at the top of the rock wall!

He thought about it for a long time and felt that it was really feasible.

Moreover, it is not impossible to recycle weapons.

After all, he has a rope on him.

As long as you reach the top, find a place to tie the rope and throw it down, you can slide down the rope and pull out the two weapons one by one!
