Chapter 214: Chapter 214

Hidden Task: Eliminate the Goblin Tribe, completed.

Staring at the extra treasure chests, Du You didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, acquiring these chests was too easy.

Opening one orb after another, and the chests, well, except for some rubbish, there were just white crystal coins. But there were too few of them. There were less than a hundred, and most of them came from the chests.

"With increased levels, killing these low-level creatures is pointless. If I could have exterminated a large tribe of 500 in the beginning, even if I didn’t obtain 800 white crystal coins, it would have been very close. Now I only have the bare minimum."

Du You shook his head, these items were nothing special. Just a magic staff with a fireball skill, which was of the lightest color level, and was useless for him.

Whatever, I’ll just pack up and sell it when I return. As for the other junk, Du You thought it would be a waste of space to even collect it. He discarded a lot of things on the spot.

Xiaozi flew down and Du You directly sat on it and took off.

It was far easier to distinguish the general direction in the air than in the forest. In just about ten minutes, Du You had left the forest. Looking down from the sky, the view below was desolate. Fresh chapters posted on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝓷𝓮𝓽

But on this barren land, various animals had appeared. The animal population here was steadily increasing as there were no more crazed goblins to slaughter them.

"Let’s keep going," Du You ordered.

Xiaozi didn’t care much, followed its master’s orders as per the plan. In just a moment, Du You saw the road appearing ahead. It was an ordinary dirt road, not particularly well made. A quick glance was enough for Du You to know that this was a well-trodden path.

Such roads were scarce even on the outskirts of cities on Earth.

However, this road was extremely desolate, there was hardly anyone walking around.

Xiaozi continued to fly, after an unknown amount of time, Du You noticed changes in the path below. It was still a dirt road, but a rocky road had appeared in the center, clearly man-made.

Even a humble rocky road was a sign of human activity. Soon after, Du You noted signs of pedestrians.

He commanded Xiaozi to land, and the man on the road, startled by the giant bird flying towards him, dropped his belongings and ran. Du You was left with no other choice but to chase him.

"Why are you running? Stop, or I’ll be forced to take action."

"Spare me, spare me, I left all my belongings on the ground. I’ve got nothing on me, just some food."

Du You’s heart sank, was he being mistaken for a bandit? Have you ever seen a bandit as handsome as him, dropping from the sky? Why not assume him to be a divine eagle hero! He was on an eagle, at the very least.

"Get up. I’m not a bandit, I have questions for you."

The man looked at Du You warily but didn’t pick his things up.

Du You not feeling like explaining said, "Tell me, in which direction is Qingji City and how far is it?"

Upon hearing Du You’s question, the man calmed down. He figured Du You was not a bandit because if he were, he would have known the direction of Qingji City. There’s only one city nearby, the bandits couldn’t possibly not know its location.

"It’s ... over there, just follow this road, it’s no more than twenty miles away."

I see, Du You thought to himself. "Thank you. Xiaozi, let’s go." What a coward, he thought. He mounted Xiaozi and took off.

Meanwhile, the man’s eyes grew sharp. "Things are getting more chaotic, this year’s going to be tough. All sorts of people are coming here, who knows what danger they might bring? That guy’s powerful."

The man picked up his belongings and continued his journey. "I better just do my job, who knows if these bandits will take the bait."

If Du You were still there, he would be quite surprised.

After flying for a while, Du You finally spotted his destination, it was hard to miss. Several roads converged at the base of a cliff, and beneath the cliff was Qingji City.

The cliff was extremely high, gradually extending above, and above half the city was covered by the cliff.

There was a small waterfall on the cliff cascading directly into the city.

It was more of a town than a city, but its geographic location made it quite important.

However, there were no farms nearby, Du You didn’t know where the farms of the Qingji City were. The City backed onto a large cliff, and its front was continuous mountains. There was only one road leading out from the city gate vanishing into the distance.

A large area outside the small city was planted with dense thorny bushes. At first, Du You had mistaken them for crops, it was only when he got closer he realized what they truly were.

Any attempt to attack Qingji City would first have to clear these obstacles. The surrounding area was mountainous, making it difficult for the troops to pass. Qingji City was not easy to attack, and there was not much to gain from doing so.

Perhaps, this was their strategy for survival.

Interestingly, If the name ’Qingji City’ hadn’t been carved onto the cliff, Du You would have no idea what this place was. The languages of this world were strange, some very simple, some really complex. Du You still hadn’t figured out a rational system.

However, since his translator could interpret it, it must have a complete system.

"Xiaozi, fly over there and land on the road ahead," Du You said.

When Xiaozi landed, Du You sent it back to where it came from and began to walk towards Qingji City alone.

There were quite a few patrolling soldiers on the Qingji City wall, ready for action, looking very tense. The guards at the city gate numbered up to a squad of twelve.

Even in Nordland Domination world, Du You hadn’t seen this many guards at a city gate.

"Identify yourself! Come for inspection," a guard at the gate nervously yelled at Du You.

Du You scowled and responded loudly, "I’m an adventurer, here to see if anyone needs my help."

"Adventurer? So you’re a mercenary, great! Another mercenary has come to our city." To his surprise, the soldiers cheered at Du You’s declaration. They had just seen Du You descend from the sky.
