Chapter 7: first contact with locals
Early the next morning, the traversers set off again, heading towards the village of the locals.
After a night's rest, sleepless spirit is much better. But it was obvious that if he was allowed to trudge through the waist-length grassland again, it wouldn't be long before he would collapse again from exhaustion.
So the panda took out a straw net bag that he had woven at night, indicating that he could sit in without sleep, and then he carried the net bag on his back.
Wumian stared at the small net pocket in a stunned manner, and stammered: "This...this...is just so big! Although I'm not big, but...but...I can't sit in it!"
"Stand out your legs," Panda said. "Don't curl up, don't worry."
WuMian imagined it, and his face became even more bitter.
"Isn't that the same as rural women carrying their children's sacks..."
Everyone laughed at this.
When he finally couldn't beat the panda, he sat down in the net pocket, and was carried by Yuneruo, who was taller than the panda, and everyone laughed even more cheerfully.
Just as Wu Mian imagined, he sat in the net pocket, with the net pocket on Yuneruo's shoulders, looking really like an extremely tall rural woman with a larger child on her back.
Yunero didn't care about looking like a rural woman. All he could think about now was to get to that village as soon as possible to see what the locals were like.
His race is called "Dragon Man", and this "dragon" is not the dragon of the giant dragon, but the dragon of the ancient dragon. Legend has it that the ancestors of the dragon people were ancient dragons with supernatural powers. Although they have long since disappeared, they have left their descendants who inherited a little of their blood.
The appearance of the dragon people is somewhat similar to that of the lizardmen, but they are a lot taller than the lizardmen, and the short horns on their foreheads are a special sign that the lizardmen will never have. They have a strong physique and sharp reflexes, and they can also master spell-like means like dragon breath. But in fact, their spell talent is not good, the clan is rich in various warriors, and there are almost no mages.
The above is the background of the dragon people in the game. If they really crossed into the game world, then Yuneruo died of the heart of learning spells and honestly became his berserker. But if this world is not exactly the same as the game world, then he still has to work hard to see if he can learn some spells.
It has nothing to do with strength or weakness, he is just full of yearning for those supernatural powers.
Panda is still walking at the front of the team, his pace is fast, each step is as far as an ordinary person's two or even three steps, and no matter how long he walks, the rhythm of his footsteps remains the same, as if he is not tired at all.
Because there is no sleepless drag, the team's marching speed is much faster than yesterday. About four o'clock in the afternoon, almost two hours before it got dark, they came to the local village they saw in the sky when Little Eggplant was scouting.
The village is not big. From a distance, it is estimated that there are only thirteen or four families. The houses are a bit low, and the roofs are almost covered with thick straw thatch. Under the thatched roof, you can see a block of mud bricks. The low wall, from the inside, reveals a shabby and backward feeling.
There is a circle of fences made of wood around the village. It can be seen that a lot of time and energy have been spent. Each wooden strip is quite thick and should be able to provide good protection.
It is located between forests and grasslands, and there is a small river in the direction of the forest, and the river is surrounded by large tracts of farmland. In addition to large areas of green, there are also some red and gold in the fields, I don't know what to plant.
In the direction close to the grassland, there is a large-scale cemetery. Strange to say, this village is not big, but the scale of the cemetery is quite large. In terms of area, I am afraid it is half the size of the village.
"...This place looks familiar to me..." Wumian, who had come down from his net pocket, looked at the village and frowned, "Especially in this huge cemetery outside the village."
"It's rightly called the Mass Burial Mound." Zhangsun Wu also said, "It reminds me of Xinshi Village. Outside the Xinshi Village, there is such a mass grave, and there is an important copy."
"A copy of the skull ring. When the public beta was just launched, I don't know how many people formed a team to brush the skull ring every day. Some people joked that the skeletons killed every day could add up to a circle around the earth." Yune Ruo said with a smile, "I started playing in the third chapter, when the skull ring was still one of the novice gods, I followed the guide to brush the skeleton for three days, and I almost vomited, so I brushed it. ."
"That's because the explosion rate was increased later." Zhangsun Wu, who is an internal beta player, is all too familiar with these things. "When the public beta first started, the explosion rate was only 2%. My luck is very bad, and that **** The BOSS 'Necromancer Hamer' had to fight for at least two or three hundred times before he finally hit that thing, he's just a pure-blooded African."
"I've been fighting for half a month." Panda said in a muffled voice, "Unfortunately, I can't help it."
"Haha! So you are the chief of Africa!"
Everyone laughed and walked around the cemetery to the front of the village.
On the gate between the fences hangs a somewhat worn wooden board. There is a line of characters on the wooden board. Obviously, no one has ever come across this kind of characters, but they recognize it at a glance.
Kalipura Village.
"This name also looks familiar..." Changsun Wu murmured.
"It's more than familiar! It's simply a novice village!" Wu Mian sighed and said, "This is the name of the novice village! Let's ask after we go in, if their village chief is called 'Karipura Thirteen' world's alright..."
There are two guards at the entrance of the village. Unlike the burly man in the game, who is fully armed and majestic, the two guards seen by the passers-by are just ordinary people. There is nothing that can be called a weapon, let alone armor, not even a saber.
Their statures are also completely unrelated to the adjective "burly". They can barely be regarded as tall, but they are obviously a little thin, and it can be seen that their nutrition is not good.
Seeing a group of eight people approaching, they were obviously very nervous, and it would be fine if they were fully armed. It's all frosty, and the little eggplant has wings behind it. Even a relatively friendly panda, that face is definitely not human.
Among the eight people, there are only three real human beings. The eldest Sun Wu is wrapped in a tin can, and he can't tell his appearance at all; the scavenger's appearance is quite normal, but his crossbow and sword are serious, and he doesn't look like a good man. Good people, the only person in the team who seems to be harmless to a human being is the pure and innocent sleepless.
So before they could get close, a middle-aged guard with a beard raised his spear and put on a guarded posture, shouting, "Who are you! What are you doing?"
"Passing travelers." Panda replied.
"Travelers?" The guard clearly didn't believe it, and asked loudly, "You don't look like travelers at all! And we are very remote here, why did you pass by?"
"We're just a little lost." Wu Mian smiled as kindly as possible, "I'm a noble from the capital... Eric, they are my friends. We formed a team of adventurers, wanting to fight for justice... It ended up getting lost."
Facing an ordinary person who knew at first glance that he had no fighting power, he suddenly became full of confidence, patted Panda on the shoulder, motioned him to move away, and walked forward by himself.
"Don't be nervous, people like us are actually not uncommon in the capital."
However, what answered him was a spear that stabbed unceremoniously.
"Who are you kidding! I went to the Royal Capital when I was young!"
