It is indeed a bit of a stretch to let Bajie be responsible for traveling long distances.

The surrounding light was obviously dimmer, making the already overcast weather even more depressing.

The challenges of the lords and the aboriginal people are independent of each other and do not conflict with each other. They do not know what the weather is like when the aboriginal people see it.

Whenever he thinks about it like this, Zong Shen always feels weird.

However, he can also understand the arrangements and intentions of the lord system.

At this stage, it is necessary to gradually bring the lords and the indigenous people into contact and isolate them from each other.

Especially when it comes to challenges, if there is no deliberate isolation and the intervention of the indigenous people, the challenge will completely change.

After all, the original intention of the challenge is to accelerate the growth of the lords and to hone the lords. At the same time, the rewards after the challenge are an additional way for the lords to gain strength.

With the power of the lord system, it is natural to isolate the challenges from each other.

It’s already the eleventh day of landing.

Three days of novice period, seven days of crypt challenge, and new challenges coming soon.

The new challenge will consist of a two-day preparation period, a one-day notice period, and a four-day official period.

Basically, it is a seven-day killing mode with one challenge per week. After the third challenge cycle ends, it is almost the end of the first month of implementation.

27 days after the novice period ends, the first defensive challenge will come.

These are all the information mentioned in the new rules after the novice period ended.

Counting it all together, the so-called defensive challenge happened to be the 30th day after the Lords landed!

Intuition told Zong Shen that that would be a new turning point for the lords.

Its significance is absolutely no less than the end of the novice period.

But exactly what will happen is still unknown.

Even the strategy system cannot figure it out, because the lord system will make dynamic decisions based on the real-time situation.

This includes the content of each challenge as well.

The strategy module won't know the exact answer until signs begin to appear.

If the lord system itself has not yet been determined, the strategy module will not have the answer.

After all, the essence of the strategy module is still a "plug-in" for the lord system.

It has no information itself, all information comes from the Lord system itself.

In short, the strategy module functions as a porter.

Others are taking closed-book exams, but this person is taking open-book exams, and they are the kind with retrieval.

Zong Shen stood there and thought wildly for a while, while Bajie was rolling on the ground beside him.

The small truck-like body rolled around and the ground shook three times.

Now they are still more than 170 kilometers away from Bossang.

This dirt road passed through seven or eight villages and was very peaceful along the way.

There were no attacks from wild beasts or monsters, and there were no traces of bandits or horse bandits.

This is a typical communication route between villages formed by the exchanges between villagers and traveling merchants.

But just because it's peaceful now, doesn't mean it will still be so peaceful at night.

Along the way, Zong Shen encountered many small-scale traveling merchants, as well as some villagers traveling on foot or in oxcarts.

According to the current progress, we should be able to reach Bosbon between 8 and 9 pm.

Zong Shen stretched his waist and stretched his muscles.

Riding Bajie on a long journey is almost like taking a long-distance bus on Earth.

Even the comfort level of Bajie is not as good as that of a bus.

Eight or nine hours had passed since we set off at around 9 a.m., and Zong Shen felt inexplicably tired.

I still have to find a way to get an aerial mount in the future, otherwise it will be too uncomfortable in this world.

After resting for half an hour, Zong Shen gave Bajie a small mouthful of Moon God Spring to moisten his throat.

It will get dark soon, and there are fewer and fewer traveling merchants and travelers on the road.

For Aboriginal people, night is not a good time to travel.

Even traveling merchants know this truth and will calculate the distance and rest points before departure.

Whenever night falls, they will settle down in a predetermined village to rest.

No one would choose to travel at night unless they were accompanied by a strong escort.

This is not a large commercial road or an official road. There are often raids by bandits at night, and nocturnal grassland beasts and monsters often appear nearby.

"Let's go, we're not far from Bangcheng."

"If we hurry, we can arrive in two or three hours."

They rested until about six o'clock in the evening, when Zong Shen waved and set off.

After advancing for a while, a small sign appeared on the roadside.

However, because it was too dark and Bajie was moving at full speed, he could not see clearly what was on the sign.

I could just vaguely see something painted on it.

The group of people continued to move forward in the twilight.

After traveling hundreds of kilometers from the territory to the present, the terrain nearby is still flat.

However, the surrounding land shows obvious signs of desertification.

The native climate here is still very good, and the causes of grassland desertification are basically man-made.

For example, overgrazing and land reclamation for farming are important causes of grassland desertification.

If you look down from the sky on the grassland near Zong Shen's territory, it will look like a carpet.

Nearby, desert already occupies two-thirds of the land.

The remaining green spaces are sparsely distributed around the village.

And since entering the 200-kilometer moving average of Bangcheng, the villages along the way have become much denser.

In the beginning, you had to walk 50 to 60 kilometers before encountering a village. Now, there is basically a village every 20 to 30 kilometers.

This shows that in the outer circle surrounding the city, the closer it is to the city, the density of population distribution increases significantly.

As Zong Shen and the others ran wildly, dust swept across the sky behind them.

Bajie and the war horse were covered with dust, and Vereesa and Luna also put on their headscarves again.

Fortunately, Zong Shen's silver battle helmet is also full-covered, otherwise he would have eaten a lot of dirt along the way.

After more than half an hour, they advanced another forty or fifty kilometers.

The desertification here is becoming more and more serious, and the night has completely fallen due to soil erosion.

The originally compacted land on the dirt road has turned into soft desert sand.

This slowed everyone down.

The surroundings were pitch dark, and from time to time, large groups of unknown beasts could be seen running past on both sides.

The eyes of these beasts reflect a bright yellow light, like dots of light
