No one would take these two idiots seriously, and the patrols wouldn't risk entering the woods for them, so the two of them easily obtained their "freedom".
After entering the woods, Feng Chou asked Qiankun Pagoda to analyze all the traces left behind by the Tigermen within the range of the scanner, and try to avoid the Tigermen's route of activity, find a relatively safe direction, and run with Simon all the way.
In this forest near the stronghold, there were often Tigermen hunting, so this forest was actually very dangerous.
Their luck wasn't too bad, under the guidance of Qiankun Pagoda, the two of them quickly left the area where the traces of the Tigermen were relatively more concentrated.
Under the guidance of Qiankun Pagoda, Feng Chou and Simon not only avoided the traces of the Tigermen's activity, but also avoided the traces of other large and medium underground creatures. In one breath, they ran for seven to eight hundred meters before stopping.
The two of them didn't want to go too far from the stronghold, after all, that was where their hope of escape lay.
After stopping, Feng Chou circled around the vicinity, and made sure that there were no traces of the Tigermen or other large creatures within a hundred meters, the two of them temporarily stayed here.
The reason why they chose this place was because there was a giant mushroom that was the tallest in the vicinity.
The stem of this mushroom was completely lignified, and was very hard.
Feng Chou climbed up the stem of the mushroom with the help of two knives, and hid under the mushroom cap to observe the stronghold in the distance.
For Feng Chou to suddenly take out two knives, Simon was a little surprised, but didn't think it was too strange, who didn't have a little secret?
In fact, these two knives were just made by Qiankun Pagoda with the Bear Goblin's mace.
For Qiankun Pagoda, melting a piece of pig iron, removing the impurities, changing its carbon content, turning it into a piece of high-quality steel, and then forging it into the shape he wanted, it was completely effortless.
The fortress hadn't changed much since they left. Even if the Drow knew that they had escaped, they probably wouldn't risk sending people into the mushroom forest to capture them.
Feng Chou watched for a while, and just as he was about to give up, he saw something moving at high speed in the mushroom forest not far from them.
Feng Chou was shocked. He thought it was a Tigerman, but when he looked carefully, he saw a human running in the forest.
Because the surface forest needed to make use of the sunlight as much as possible, the tree canopy was often layered, making it difficult to see far into the distance.
The underground forest was different. Although the mushroom canopy also covered the ground, it was not evenly distributed. In some places, the canopy was stacked in layers, and in other places, it was very sparse, revealing large areas of low plants and the ground.
Therefore, Feng Chou could clearly see that the person running at full speed was a human.
Feng Chou hurriedly slipped down the mushroom stem and said to Simon, who was on guard under the tree, "There is also an escaped slave over there. Judging from his running speed, his strength is not weak. Let's go stop him and see if we can cooperate."
Feng Chou and Simon were like drowning people at this time. Even if there was a straw, they would grab it.
What if someone else knew something that they didn't have?
So Simon didn't hesitate to agree to Feng Chou's suggestion and followed Feng Chou to run towards the man's route.
With Qiankun Pagoda's calculation of speed and route, they accurately blocked the man's path.
For someone to suddenly appear in front of him, the man was shocked. He stopped and pulled out two heavy Drow scimitars from his back.
When he saw that it was two humans who intercepted him, he seemed to be slightly relieved.
When they saw the person clearly, Feng Chou and Simon's faces lit up with joy, because this person was someone they knew.
This person was the female architect who had been directing them to work.
This woman came from the inner city and had a closer relationship with Drow than the slaves. Moreover, this woman was likely to have grown up in Thorne City. If she could escape, she must know something that the two of them didn't know.
"Architect Anrui, it seems that you also have plans to escape from the underground world. Are you interested in cooperating with us?" Feng Chou said.
The female architect named Anrui glanced at the two of them, disdainfully curled her lips and said, "Not interested!"
After saying that, the fierce woman waved two scimitars and rushed towards the two of them.
Feng Chou cursed in his heart, "F * ck!" and turned to hide behind Simon.
Simon looked back at him in confusion, and Feng Chou gave him a look that said, "Hurry up!"
At this time, Simon didn't have time to be confused. He reached out and grabbed the clothes around his waist. He tore the clothes on his upper body and the cloth wrapped around his waist and abdomen, revealing two foot-long short swords hidden against his back.
Simon pulled out the short swords.
These two short swords were obviously high quality goods. The blades were dark blue, and it was obvious that they were forged from high-quality black steel. The hilts were inlaid with a special lustre of gold and some fine gemstones. This was clearly a pair of enchanted short swords.
When Simon took out these two short swords, his entire aura changed.
The two of them collided in the blink of an eye.
What surprised Feng Chou was that after the two of them started fighting, Simon actually had the upper hand. His fighting style was very strange. His feet were constantly moving, constantly dodging, and the pair of short swords were constantly stabbing, often forcing the female architect to be in a hurry.
From Qiankun Pagoda's scan, Simon's Agility attribute was not as good as the female architect, but from the perspective of the battle, his Agility seemed to be higher than the female architect.
After observing for a while, combined with Leo's memory, Feng Chou finally understood that this Simon was not a Level 6 warrior at all. He was a Level 6 warrior with a Level 3 or 4 Rogue.
Ordinary people without special bloodlines had limited talent, and the ceiling of their profession was very low. Even if they trained hard, they could barely become an intermediate warrior. Level 7 or 8 was the limit of their talent. Such ordinary warriors, after Level 6, would have great difficulty in continuing to advance.
At this time, if these warriors wanted to continue to improve their strength, the best way was to take a part-time job.
A Level 6 warrior, through the primary training of a Rogue, could not only improve his Agility, but also gain some abilities and skills of a Rogue, which greatly improved his combat effectiveness and survivability.
For example, if an ordinary Level 6 warrior continued to train as a warrior, it would be very difficult to reach Level 8. Many warriors with insufficient talent may not be able to reach Level 8 in their lifetime. But if they started from the beginning, they could easily increase their Rogue level by three or four levels.
A Level 6 warrior with a Level 4 Rogue's combat effectiveness was basically the same as a Level 8 warrior.
Therefore, in the middle and low levels, some professionals with insufficient talent would tend to pursue a part-time job.
But after reaching a senior level, the benefits of a part-time job would be discounted, and the part-time job itself would delay the professional's time, making the highest achievement that they could achieve lower.
In short, a part-time job was a good choice for ordinary middle and low level professionals, but for those who were aspiring to become masters, it became a waste of time.
