Chapter 195: Chupa Chups (Part 3)
Master PungPong's eyes widened, and he quickly protected his horses, saying, "We have food for them, and they are not for eating!"
These horses were given to them by the system and were their loyal companions.
How could they possibly eat them?
Radolf seemed to realize his mistake and said, "I see. Do any of you have spatial items? Please forget what I said earlier. Sorry about that."
Seeing that Radolf really wasn't interested in the horses, Master PungPong sighed in relief.
Throughout the journey, their pace wasn't very fast. Radolf seemed to be taking notes on something.
Spicy Flavor Fairy asked, "Where are you planning to go?"
Radolf pointed in a direction and said, "When we first entered the Abyss Zone, we thought the Lord was in the far north. But after failing five times, we gave up on going north. We heard from other companions that the northeast is quite dangerous, so we prepared for two directions, but haven't decided yet."
So, that means northwest and west?
Spicy Flavor Fairy fell into deep thought.
Unfortunately, despite all the literature he had read, there was no information about these two directions in the Abyss Zone.
Radolf then asked, "Where are you planning to explore?"
Spicy Flavor Fairy thought for a moment and decided to leave the choice to Hanjun.
He soon felt that it was the right decision.
Because after Hanjun saw his questioning eyes, he quickly made his decision, "Let's go to the West."
Radolf said, "I'm curious about the West too. There's a place there that is the lowest point in the world of eorera, a massive rift canyon. We suspect it might lead to the abyss."
Spicy Flavor Fairy silently breathed a sigh of relief, as it seemed the storyline was proceeding as expected.
Hanjun's attitude also suggested that he knew something but wasn't willing to share it right now.
Although Spicy Flavor Fairy believed in the value of mutual communication, Hanjun, as an NPC, seemed to follow the old game trope of being a riddle-spreader.
Since Hanjun hadn't said anything, they would have to follow his lead for now.
"How far is that rift canyon?" Spicy Flavor Fairy asked.
Radolf replied, "It will take about five days to get there. It's not too far."
Spicy Flavor Fairy was silent for a moment.
Five days was quite a distance, and he wondered how Ulon City was doing now.
Radolf said, "Let's hurry up then."
During these five days, it was good that Radolf wasn't stationed near Master PungPong and his group, or he would have noticed that, at night and during certain times of the day, these people were often missing.
Sometimes, he only saw Hanjun standing outside, but not Master PungPong and his group.
Radolf felt an inexplicable fear of Hanjun and avoided facing him directly.
However, since he had a better relationship with Master PungPong, he excitedly went to discuss things with him.
Seeing Hanjun made him nervous.
Hanjun asked him, "Is something wrong?"
Radolf stammered, "Nothing," and tried to leave quickly.
Seeing the familiar item in his hand, Hanjun understood what was going on.
Master PungPong's group must have shared their beloved Chupa Chups with Radolf.
The members of the Order of the Shattering Lights liked this bubbling, transparent drink, and after drinking it, they were hooked.
Radolf came to ask Master PungPong if he had more of this drink to trade.
It seemed another person from another world was enchanted by Chupa Chups.
After Master PungPong returned, Hanjun informed him about this.
Master PungPong scratched his head and chuckled, "It looks like Chupa Chups is still so popular."
After a rest, the group continued their endless journey.
Meanwhile, not far away, the end of the demon army's advance faced the stubborn defense of Ulon City.
After a long period of resistance, the Royal Knights had become tired.
Injuries and prolonged fighting had drained their energy.
The Adventurers' Guild wasn't in much better shape.
Only the players felt no physical fatigue and could quickly heal from injuries, staying energetic and spirited.
This situation was giving Jenlyns a real headache.
"When will Hanjun and his group be done? I feel like the demons are already eager to launch a full-scale attack."
Just as Jenlyns was thinking, his subordinate brought him some news.
"Captain! The demon army has moved their position forward by thirty meters!"
Jenlyns held his head in his hands; this meant that the demon army was slowly getting closer, like trying to boil a frog in warm water.
They were already falling into the rhythm of the demon army.
Did he need to use the trump card Hanjun had left him now?
While Jenlyns was still considering, he heard a commotion outside the tent.
He looked at his subordinate, who seemed confused and didn't know what was going on either.
Jenlyns went outside to see for himself and discovered that, at some point, a group of wizards and warlocks in robes and hats, who seemed not to have seen daylight in a long time, had appeared in Ulon City.
The old man standing in front of the sorcerers smiled cheerfully and said, "I'm very exhausted! Do you have any more Chupa Chups? Mine has all been snatched up by others!"
A player who recognized the old man exclaimed, "Mr. Wisdom! Where have you returned from?"
Hallyne pounded his back and bought a Chupa Chups from the shop and gulped it down. "Ah, it's still good to be here."
After taking a sip, Hallyne finally spoke, "Well, it was that kid Hanjun who asked this old man to go and do something for him. To keep getting more of this delicious drink in the future, I had no choice but to go."
Listening to his words, the players looked in the direction of his gaze.
Behind Hallyne, a group of people was getting off a carriage.
Judging by their clothes, they were all wearing colorful robes with expensive gemstones embedded in them — they were clearly not ordinary people.
