On the other side, Huang Zheng and Atta ascended towards Arcadia. The Hunter Country is located deep in the forest, while the Argo ships are anchored at the ports of Arcadia, which takes about a day and a night to travel at the foot of an average hunter. But the foot strength of the two is far from being the most comparable, needless to say, Huang Zheng's body is essentially good, and Atta is a huntress famous for her steed feet in mythology, and she runs no less than Huang Zheng, if the two of them increase at full speed, they can reach Arcadia at dusk at most.
Most of the famous heroes in Greek mythology are related to the gods, such as Hercules and Achilles, all of whom are demigods, and although Atta is a mortal and does not have the blood of the gods in her body, she has been blessed by Artemis, the goddess of the moon, since she was a child, and she can be regarded as protected by the power of the gods.
Yes, Huang Zheng is not fresh about her ability to keep up with her own foot strength.
Of course, the two of them were not in a hurry, and after running for a while at the beginning due to the urging of Cato and other hunters, they gradually slowed down, and finally even walked like ordinary people, chatting and improving at the same time.
But Atta is not good at exchanging, most of the time Huang Zheng is talking, and she only occasionally says a few words. It can be seen that her interest is not very high, and this woman is only interested in hunting.
"Hey, what's that?" Just as Huang Zheng was talking to himself, his eyes lit up, and he saw a fresh creature rushing in front of him, "It looks a little familiar." ”
There was prey, and Atta suddenly had a little more fun, and with a movement of his feet, he ran up quickly, and then the two of them saw a huge creature crouching on the back of a rock, eating with its head down.
The creature looked like a pangolin, covered in a hard shell, but it was much larger than a pangolin, with a tail that was nearly two meters long, eight legs under its body, and two tentacles on its skull, which shook as it ate.
"It's a chocobo shrimp." After seeing the creature's demeanor, Atta looked a little disappointed.
"Chocobos?"
Seeing that Huang Zheng didn't seem to be clear, Atta replied: "Zocobo shrimp is a kind of marine creature that can make a living on the ground, although I don't know when they changed their livelihood environment, but because they have lived on the continent for many years, they have gradually shed their ability to make a living in the ocean, and instead they have developed a rate that many continental creatures can't match." The chocobo shrimp can even outrun the galloping horse, and their endurance is forever, and once the prey is targeted by them, the foundation is dead...... But the chocobo shrimp eat a lot of food, grass roots, bark, insects, snakes and rats eat almost everything, but their own meat is not very tasty, I hunted one in the past, and it is dry and has no taste at all. ”
Atta's tone was filled with disgust, stark, for a hunter of her size, the prey that she couldn't eat didn't even have the price to get rid of.
But Huang Zheng is very fun, although he can't eat, but he can be a mount!
Therefore, Huang Zheng immediately rushed out, and took advantage of the leisure time of Lu Xing shrimp to eat, and sat on its back.
Because of their strong carapace, even large carnivorous beasts are difficult to cause danger to them, and when they are rolled up in a ball, they are not much different from turtles, because they are rare opponents on the mainland, and they usually do not take the rest of the creatures in their eyes, where would they think that when they are eating, there are really creatures that dare to attack themselves.
Feeling insulted, the chocobo shrimp suddenly jumped up, and its two tentacles pierced at the emperor like spikes.
"Fight your heart, lie down for me!" Huang Zheng shouted, his fingers were a little on the head of the Lu Xing shrimp, and the power of the fire penetrated, and the Lu Xing shrimp suddenly shook violently, and the whole lay on the ground.
Tinder, as the source of the power of the metal life, has the suppressive power of the generation of carbon-based life, and ordinary beasts do not have enough dexterity, and when they feel the power of the fire, they will instinctively be frightened.
Huang Zheng had long been aware of this trait, but Atta didn't inquire, and when he saw that Huang Zheng tamed this irritable land chub shrimp at once, his eyes were filled with incredulity...... With a strange medicine that heals injuries in an instant, and such a beast-taming ability, who is this Siegfried? Could it be because he slaughtered too many dragons and had his own dragon power?
"From today onwards, you will be my mount, and you will be obedient in the future, do you know?" Huang Zheng patted the head of the shrimp, and the latter lowered his head and did not dare to resist at all, and then Huang Zheng took out a rope, put it around its neck, and shouted to Ata, "Come on, let's ride this guy." ”
Atta hesitated a little, although Lu Xingshi's body was huge, and it was not a problem to sit with a few people, but riding with a man might make her a little disobedient, but ...... I haven't ridden it myself, so I don't know what it would be like.
People are always crammed with a little bit of fresh things, and Atta is no exception, so it becomes very tangled.
"What are you struggling with, you've slept together, are you still afraid of riding a shrimp?" Huang Zheng shouted.
Atta's eyes suddenly widened, what does it mean to sleep together, is it good to sleep openly!
But under Huang Zheng's repeated shouts, Atta sat on the back of Lu Xing Shrimp, although he stopped contact with Huang Zheng's body, and the two were very separated.
"Cut, the mouth is upright, you can sit if you want to, why be so shy."
Huang Zheng spat out, and then without waiting for Atta to argue, he shook the reins.
"Pippi Shrimp, let's go!"
When the land crushing shrimp got the order, it suddenly moved with eight legs, and the speed of running was really faster than that of a horse.
It turned out that in Huang Zheng's expectation, it would be good to be able to reach Arcadia at dusk at the earliest, even with his and Ata's foot strength, they would feel tired if they ran continuously, but with the travel of the land crushing shrimp, before the next day, the two of them had already seen the gate of Arcadia.
This land-crushing shrimp is not only fast, but even the endurance is beyond imagination, carrying two people to run for several hours, and the speed has not slowed down, and it is indeed known as the king of shrimp. As the saying goes, Lu Bu is among people, and red rabbits are among horses, Huang Zheng thought that if this land chub shrimp was golden, it could definitely be crowned with the title of King of British Shrimp.
Although Arcadia is a kingdom, the whole country is just such a city, surrounded by several villages, with a total of more than 100,000 people, if it is placed in the contemporary Celestial Empire, at most the population of a town, which can be described as a matching cold. Of course, this is not unique to Arcadia, in fact, this period was the case in the whole of Europe, any circle of a city, with more than 100,000 subordinates, can be a king, if there are three or four cities and 100,000 troops, it is the king of kings level, so during the Greek mythology, the number of kings is uncountable.
But small places also have the purpose of small places, at least Huang Zheng doesn't have to bother to find the Argo boat, and he knows the location of the port with a little inquiry.
Therefore, after entering the city, Huang Zheng took Pipi Shrimp and led the beautiful girl to the direction of the port.
Such a combination is a match for all to see.
At the beginning, with Atta's few experiences, he could leave the famous story of "marriage troubles" in later generations, and it was clear how shocking her beauty was, even with the countless eyes of Huang Zheng's daughters, in addition to the women who were quite related to him, Ata's beauty was rarely matched. Coupled with the fact that she was wearing a leather coat, due to her toned legs and wild and fresh charm honed by running in the mountains and forests for many years, you can imagine how lethal she was to men during this period.
The second is Huang Zheng, although as a man, he can't arouse the attention of Ata, but the set of clothes on his body that is different from this period is very eye-catching, and for many people who can't even afford to wear clothes, they are indeed nobles among nobles.
Aristocrats and beauties, of course, such two people can confuse countless eyeballs.
However, no matter how luxurious Huang Zheng is, no matter how pretty Atta is, what can really make passers-by stand on the lookers and even follow up is the land crushing shrimp, this kind of giant shrimp with a body size of more than two meters, ordinary people usually see it, at most it is occasionally heard from the mouth of the hunter, what a majesty, now it is valuable to see, of course, it is inevitable to want to feast the eyes, many people even follow the back of the two people and a shrimp in a row, pointing to the counseling point, and whispering research.
Of course, such an eye-catching combination is naturally not immune to the covetousness of a few unscrupulous people, but the huge size of the land chub shrimp or has a lot of deterrent power, although the human culture during the mythological period is backward, the IQ is always a little, no matter how stupid people will know that the person who can subdue this giant shrimp must not be easy to provoke, so for a while these people did not dare to get rid of it, but quietly followed.
"Someone is following us." Atta whispered, her keen instincts as a hunter that made her aware of the slightest malice around her.
"Let them go." Huang Zheng smiled, he didn't pay attention to it at all, since he entered the city, he had noticed those guys in the secret, but so what, he didn't have fun paying attention to those miscellaneous fish.
Therefore, Atta stopped talking, she just reminded her, but she didn't pay attention.
After a while, the two of them came to the port, saying that the port was actually a market, and all kinds of vendors could be seen everywhere, and there was little room except for the street in the center.
Since the opening of the sail sea channel, the human sail culture has begun to vigorously develop, and because of the geographical location of Arcadia, there are often ships moored here, holding the replenishment of resources, people with buying and selling thinking immediately saw business opportunities from it, specializing in business with these outsiders, and the long time has led to this appearance.
However, if there are many traffickers who follow the trend, there will naturally be a few things that are not so good.
As soon as he came to the port, Huang Zheng heard a noise not far away, and in line with the mentality that people owe a young man to hunt for curiosity, he immediately took Pipi Shrimp to join in the enthusiasm.
There are Pipi shrimp to open the way, which one dares to stand in the way? immediately developed a road, so that Huang Zheng could watch nearby.
In the midst of the quarrel were several vendors and a guest, and the reason for the quarrel was a piece of animal skin, and one of the merchants showed it to the crowd with a torn animal skin, and then shouted to the guest: "In any case, you tore the skin, and you have to pay for it!" ”
"yes, lose money, lose money!" Several vendors erupted in denunciation.
