Chapter 542: Chapter 346: Trade Route (2)

The entire caravan was arranged in three vertical columns.

Looking back, the caravan was incredibly long, with more than 300 carriages stretching far into the distance.

Every carriage was packed full; only Zhao Chi’s was relatively empty.

"Zhao Chi, could our soldiers’ personal bundles go on your carriage? I see it’s still quite empty."

Tie Shan pointed at the soldiers in front.

"You can."

"Great." Tie Shan called out to the soldiers, "A few of you, put your bundles up here. Pack them in tight."

"Yes, Captain Tie."

More than twenty soldiers gathered around and put down their bundles.

These contained their personal bedrolls, which were a bit cumbersome to carry on horseback.

They weren’t heavy anyway, so Zhao Chi had no reason to refuse.

Once the twenty-odd bundles were piled on, Zhao Chi’s carriage also became bulging and stuffed.

Soon, the time reached 9:00.

The entire caravan had finished its preparations.

Tie Shan walked to the middle of the caravan and bellowed, "Do one last check! If there are no problems, we’re setting off!"

"The rear is clear!"

"The middle is ready!"

"The front is ready!"

The soldiers shouted back in response one after another.

Tie Shan walked back to his horse at the very front and roared, "Everyone, get ready! We’re moving out!"

Along with his roar, the sound of thunder came from up ahead.

The pure white Wall of Fog opened, and mist billowed out in all directions.

A dark, gloomy space appeared before them.

Zhao Chi could feel a distorted surge of Energy. He couldn’t describe the sensation, but it was very different.

Soon, led by the soldiers at the front, the entire caravan began to move.

Slowly, the caravan passed through the area of the Wall of Fog.

Zhao Chi felt his surroundings immediately darken.

It was like dusk on a cloudy day; he could see his immediate surroundings, but not very far.

The atmosphere felt sinister and strange.

The caravan advanced slowly.

Suddenly, another clap of muffled thunder echoed from behind.

Zhao Chi immediately looked back, only to see the Wall of Fog that had just opened now closing again.

After sealing itself completely, it vanished without a trace.

There was no Wall of Fog behind them anymore, only a vast, dim space.

This was it—the inside of the Spatial Rift.

It was Zhao Chi’s first time in such a place. Judging by the name, he’d thought a Spatial Rift would be narrow—it was a "rift," after all.

But he never expected it to be so huge; it felt boundless in every direction.

His surroundings remained dim.

No matter where he looked, there was nothing—only a vast, hazy gloom.

The dirt road was riddled with pits and bumps, and the carriage advanced slowly, jolting along the way.

It wasn’t much faster than walking.

The distance was shrouded in a darkness where nothing could be seen clearly.

It was utterly silent to the ear.

There wasn’t even a whisper of wind, only the rumbling of the carriage wheels and the coughs of the caravan members behind him.

At that moment, Tie Shan stood up on his carriage at the front.

He threw his head back and yelled, "Time to work! Let’s move!"

’Let’s move? Time to work? What does that mean?’

Zhao Chi also stood up on his carriage and looked around.

He saw that many new people had suddenly appeared alongside the caravan.

They were of different Races, too.

But most of them belonged to a few of the basic Races.

Soon, these people approached the carriages.

A Goblin walked up to Zhao Chi’s side. "Brother, can I sit here?"

The driver’s seat of the carriage was quite long.

If it were women like Tang Ruan and Qi Yue, three could sit side-by-side.

For men, two could sit without a problem.

This Goblin was even smaller, so there was definitely room.

Zhao Chi hesitated for a moment but still nodded. "Alright."

The Goblin chuckled, leaped up, and sat down securely next to Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi had never imagined he would be sitting together with a Goblin.

However, this Goblin was very clean and had no strange odor.

He wore well-fitting clothes and even had a silver pendant.

His skin was a glossy green, and his ears were long and pointed.

It was just that his face was still a Goblin’s face, so he still looked a bit sleazy.

The Goblin stretched out his arms, and two fist-sized white balls of light appeared in his hands.

The light was blinding, and Zhao Chi quickly squinted.

The Goblin raised his hands, and the 2 balls of light drifted unsteadily into the air. They stopped about 10 meters up, swaying gently as they followed the caravan forward.

The two balls of light were incredibly bright, like a Super Bright Torch.

Or like a Spiritual Lamp.

Immediately after, two more balls of light rose into the air, and then another two.

In total, 10 balls of light were floating in front of the caravan, illuminating a great distance.

And that was just from one Goblin.

On the carriages further back sat Human Mages and Beastman Mages.

One by one, more balls of light rose up.

The entire caravan had turned into a dragon of white light, with a brilliant white glow everywhere.

The distance was still dark, of course, but the area nearby was as bright as day.

Next, a male Elf on a carriage in the middle of the procession stood up, his hands emitting an earthy yellow Spiritual Energy.

The light flashed for an instant before shooting out into the darkness ahead.

The entire dirt road ahead seemed to come alive, twisting and trembling violently, like Gu Qing when she was gathering her Energy.

The next moment, the Elf pushed down forcefully with both arms.

The 10-meter-wide dirt road in front of them immediately sank down.

A perfectly flat, compacted dirt road appeared.

Zhao Chi immediately felt the carriage stop shaking; it was now moving forward very smoothly.

The entire caravan’s speed immediately increased.

At that moment, a multitude of multicolored lights burst forth.

Zhao Chi saw all sorts of High Level Bonuses appear in his status bar—dozens of them in total.

The horses also received a massive boost.

The caravan’s speed increased once again.

Zhao Chi gripped the reins tightly. ’If I fell off at this speed,’ he thought, ’I’d probably lose half my life.’

Looking at the system’s status bar, he could see a total of 4 statuses that increased speed.

Two were Wind Spirit Skills, one was a Support Spirit Technique, and one was a Thunder Spiritual Technique.
