Giant insect world raises flying chickens

Chapter 21 Direction
The chaotic and terrifying insect chirping, the quiet and cold night wind.

Everyone gathered around the bonfire, trying to keep their bodies warm.

Huck was sitting on a rock, while Shiloh was already standing on the ground, and Yura checked her body and clothes for bugs.

Everyone didn't dare to disperse too far, and Xi Luoer was a child, so they stood behind Huck to check.

Huck looked at the other four men, none of whom seemed to be slaves or farmers.

"This is the Strawberry Manor in the Dragon Kingdom. It used to be the territory of a white dragon princess. Later, the white dragon went to another place. This place is managed by a half-dragon family that flows with the blood of the dragon."

"Our Flame City has already asked for help from the mercenary union here, and this side has also promised to come to help."

Huck looked at the man, "My name is Huck, where are we now? How far is it to a safe location?"

The man nodded and said, "I'm Brad, a B-rank mercenary. I used to escort a caravan on this road."

"Now our location is between Strawberry City and Flame City."

Brad found a branch directly in the open space next to the fire, and began to draw everyone's current location on the ground.

"The border of Nodessas is with the Kingdom of Dragons, and the actual location of Flame City is on the border of the Kingdom of Dragons."

"On the left is the territory of the Orcs, and on the right is the dynamic disk of the Kingdom of Dragons."

"Evacuating from Flame City, the only way to the right is safe."

Huck felt that things were getting more and more troublesome, "But we were attacked on the road to Greystone Castle, and the bugs have covered the place everywhere."

Brad explained: "The bugs here have all come in before. In fact, as long as the high-level bugs outside are killed, the mercenary union and the lords everywhere can solve these bugs."

Huck thought of the soil worms he ate. Perhaps many of those worms were caught from the interior.

"Then the main problem we encounter now is how to save our lives before the overall situation is resolved?"

Brad looked at Huck, and felt that this child was not like a child at all.

But at this time, it is a good thing for the whole team to have such a noble child who does not hold back.

"Yes, we are actually not far from Flame City now, but it is impossible to go around to Greystone Castle. I suggest that we evacuate in the direction of Strawberry City first, and come back when it is safe."

Huck asked, "How long will it take to reach Strawberry City?"

"It will take four days, but there will be much fewer bugs along the way. The half-dragons have been cleaning up bugs, and they are more serious than humans."

Huck thought for two or three seconds, and then quickly said: "We are approaching the half-dragon city. After the people there know that the Flame City has been attacked, can they send mercenaries to rescue them in a short time?"

Brad shook his head, "Yes, but not too much. The relationship between Flame City and Strawberry City is not good. The mercenary union will help. Those half-dragon nobles will definitely not help."

Huck asked, "What about Greystone Castle? If we evacuate in the direction of Greystone Castle, not only will we be able to catch up with our family, but I believe other families in the city will also encounter them."

"If Greystone Fort sends reinforcements, I believe the evacuation to Greystone Fort will be smoother."

Brad thought for a while, then quickly nodded and said, "It should be."

The three people beside Brad also calmed down at this time, and soon joined the conversation.

"Let's catch up with the patriarch and the others!"

"Don't run around, follow the patriarch and the others, we won't encounter so many bugs."

"The patriarch and the city lord have powerful mercenaries around them, and there are still many people going there. We should join them quickly!"

Huck thought about the direction of his next run.

"How long has it been since we were separated?" Huck looked at Brad.

Brad thought about it carefully, "It should have been a long time, it's almost dawn now."

Huck said calmly: "Just over two hours have passed, and now there is still an hour or two before dawn!"

"If I am with most people, I believe that going to Greystone Castle is the best choice, because I can be protected. Even if many people die on the way, my chances of survival will be higher."

"But it's different now. The bugs don't know who I am, let alone who my father is."

"The strength of the few of us has no power to protect ourselves when facing the bugs all over the mountains and plains around us."

"What's more, our back path has been blocked by a group of giant-sounding tree cicadas. Once dawn comes, those giant-sounding tree cicadas will collectively make piercing and loud calls, and we will all die by then."

"How do you decide now?"

Huck looked at a few people, "Should I run back for an hour, and then endure the loud sound waves near the giant tree cicada?"

Brad fell silent, thinking quickly about Huck's words.

The other three were a little hesitant. They just ran out of the sea of ​​insects, and now it is really impossible to go back to the tragic place where many relatives and friends died.

"Let's go when we've rested enough, it's almost dawn!"

Huck put the last bottle of potion on the ground, "This is an insect repellent, mix the potion in water, and then use the water to apply the insect repellant on your hands, face, and legs."

"Let's go when we're ready! Brad, where are you going?"

Huck needs someone to lead the way, and the strongest person here should be Brad.

Brad didn't speak, and a man next to him said quickly: "Are we really not going to join the patriarch?"

Huck said calmly: "They were able to run away because there were many people acting as bait for the bugs. The few of us who were able to escape from the poisonous bees and the giant tree cicadas were not because we ran fast, but It's because someone died there!"

"There are only seven of us now. If we encounter bugs after we go back, none of us will be able to escape."

"Come with me. My life may be the most valuable among us. If you encounter mercenaries on the road, the chances of saving me are greater than saving you."

Huck understands it with emotion, this is not a high-ranking discourse, but a fact of this world.

Brad quickly said: "Okay, let's go to the Dragon Kingdom!"

Things were not complicated in the first place, and now no one wants to go back and meet the bug again.

Everyone's only choice is to stay away from the range of Flame City, but after this decision is guided by Huck, the rest of the team also agrees with this little boy as a leader.
