134 Weakness? You’ll Know After A Few Strikes! (2)
“It’s true. I’m not f*cking lying to you!”
Zhuge Qing, who originally did not plan to pay attention to Xu Jun, hesitated for a moment before walking back.
Zhuge Qing, who originally did not have much hope, looked at the small mound in front of Xu Jun and the tombstone on the mound. The expression on his face finally changed slightly.
“Is this a tombstone?”
“Are there humans here too?!”
“But why are the words they use the same as ours?”
“Could it be that the Beast Taming World can actually be entered from other places?”
“Stone Monkey Queen? Who is this?”
Looking at Zhuge Qing frowning and muttering, Xu Jun was very proud.
“Hmph, how is it? I didn’t lie to you, right?!”
“Do you think there’s really someone here?”
Zhuge Qing pondered for a moment and finally shrugged and shook his head.
“I don’t know about that.”
“However, this can also be considered a major discovery.
As he spoke, Zhuge Qing even took out her communicator to take some photos.
Although there was no signal here, this thing could still be used.
Xing Rong, who had not spoken much, was so excited that he trembled when he saw this tombstone.
Now, he was even more certain that Nethery’s family was definitely here.
Since there were traces of “people” near the grassland, it made no sense that there were none near the snow mountain or snow mountain where Nethery had lived.
Thinking of this, Xing Rong’s desire to advance towards the snow mountain became even stronger.
“Let’s go to the forest and take a look.”
“If it’s already so interesting on the grassland, the forest will definitely be even more interesting.”
Xing Rong began to urge impatiently.
After Zhuge Qing looked at this tomb again, he nodded.
“Yes, let’s go. However, we have to be careful in the forest.”
“The curator said that there’s a restricted area inside. It’s very dangerous.”
“Forbidden area?”
Xing Rong, who had never been on the academy’s Beast Taming Forum, naturally did not know about this.
Zhuge Qing explained simply.
“Didn’t it say what beast it was?”
Zhuge Qing shook her head.
“No.”
Seeing Zhuge Qing shake his head, Xing Rong did not ask further.
Although he was also a little curious about what a beast that could make the curator list a forbidden area looked like…
Going to the snow mountain was more important now.
However, this topic successfully piqued Xu Jun’s interest.
“Zhuge, do you think we should go and take a look?”
Hearing that Xu Jun wanted to court death again, Zhuge Qing gave him the middle finger.
“If you want to go, go by yourself. If you want to die, don’t drag us down.”
“Uh… Hehe…”
“I’m just saying. I’m just saying…”
As Xu Jun and the other two advanced towards the Beast Taming Forest, Lin Ye arrived outside the city with Yang Wei and Hong Zhijun.
Looking at the densely packed simple houses built against the wall at the city gate, Lin Ye asked curiously.
“Why don’t these people go in and stay?”
When Yang Wei, who was in the front passenger seat, heard Lin Ye’s question, he smiled and said…
“It’s convenient and doesn’t cost money.”
“One just needs to go outside and buy some wooden planks, iron plates, and other materials to build their own house.”
“You have to know that there are basically no houses at the city gate. Most of them are all kinds of shops or functional buildings.
“If they live in the city, it will take a long time for them to leave the city every day.”
“Like now, they can go out to hunt or scavenge at any time.
“Of course, if we encounter a beast tide, these people will be the first to suffer.”
Looking at the city wall that was getting further and further away, Lin Ye said thoughtfully.
“Do you think these people can afford beasts?”
“The cheapest kind.”
Yang Wei nodded decisively.
“They can still afford most of them.”
“Other than those refugees who idle around every day and spend every cent they have, most of them can still afford 1,000 credits.
“After all, as long as I go to the wilderness and kill a few level one mutated beasts, I can earn this 1,000 yuan.”
Lin Ye nodded.
“How many refugees are there outside the city?”
Hearing this question, Yang Wei touched his chin and thought for a moment.
“50,000 to 60,000 people. They’re relatively mobile. Some of the lucky ones will choose to enter the city directly after picking up some valuable things or saving enough money to live in the city.”
“Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility that many people who were originally living in the city came out after encountering an unforeseen event or spending all their money.
Seeing Lin Ye’s thoughtful expression, Yang Wei asked curiously,
“Why? Shop Owner Lin, are you preparing to set up a Beast Taming Dojo here?”
Lin Ye smiled and nodded, not hiding anything.
“Yes, I do have this thought.”
“Then I suggest you not rush it first.”
“How so?”
Yang Wei pointed at the desolate ground in front of him and explained.
“The beast tide this year is probably about to erupt. Every time, the city gate is the area with the most losses.”
“Otherwise, why would people choose to build houses near the city wall?”
Lin Ye came to a realization.
He remembered that Su Hongcheng had said this previously, but Lin Ye had immediately forgotten about this.
Half an hour later, Hong Zhijun, who had stopped driving recklessly, successfully drove to the lake they had come to yesterday.
Along the way, he did not encounter any mutated beasts, which more or less disappointed Lin Ye.
Even Hong Zhijun found it unbelievable.
“It’s a little strange. Why does it feel so quiet today?!”
“I actually didn’t see a single dumb mutated beast.”
Hearing Hong Zhijun mutter to himself, Yang Wei was puzzled.
“Isn’t that good?”
“Won’t it waste time if you encounter it? Moreover, this also means that the route you bought is very reliable!”
Hong Zhijun glanced at Yang Wei and said disdainfully,
“What do you know?”
“There’s no absolutely safe route outside.”
However, thinking about such a question was indeed not Hong Zhijun’s forte. After being puzzled for a long time and not finding anything suspicious, he still looked at the lake.
“Shop Owner Lin, it’s in here. I’ll see if I can get this thing out.”
With that said, Hong Zhijun immediately transformed into his mutation form and walked towards the lake with the two big rocks.
About ten meters away from the lake, he suddenly threw the first stone at the center of the lake.
Then, he looked nervously at the lake.
After waiting for two minutes, Hong Zhijun saw that there was still no movement. Just as he raised another stone and was about to continue throwing, he heard Yang Wei’s shout from behind.
“Run!”
Hearing Yang Wei’s voice, Hong Zhijun suddenly rolled back without hesitation.
Swish ~
An air-piercing sound sounded.
The stone that had just been picked up by Hong Zhijun and had yet to be thrown out was pierced through by a few long icicles like tofu.
Seeing this scene, Hong Zhijun gasped.
“Damn it!”
“Won’t this thing stab me to death?”
After the frightened Hong Zhijun jumped away again, he shouted at Yang Wei,
“Hurry up and come. Stop watching!”
Yang Wei glanced at Lin Ye.
“Shop Owner Lin, I’ll go over first.”
“Yes, I’ll rush over immediately.”
Seeing Lin Ye nod, Yang Wei transformed into lightning and directly flashed to Hong Zhijun’s side.
Then, he directly summoned the Mysterious Water Turtle.
The Ice Snapping Turtle that had just emerged from the bottom of the lake looked at its “little brother” who had suddenly appeared, and a trace of confusion flashed in its scarlet eyes.
However, it was simple-minded and did not think too much about it. It opened its ferocious mouth slightly and a few more icicles quickly shot over.
The Mysterious Water Turtle directly raised its Water Shield.
However, the Mysterious Water Shield that had previously been successful seemed a little weak against these icicles.
In just a single exchange, the Mysterious Water Shield around the Mysterious Water Turtle was directly broken.
Although it also shattered the icicles on the ground, looking at the big turtle that had opened its mouth again, Yang Wei was so frightened that he hurriedly said,
“Use the turtle shell to block!”
When the Mysterious Water Turtle heard this, it immediately shrank its big head and limbs into its turtle shell.
Ding ding ding ~
Seeing that the Mysterious Water Turtle’s shell had blocked this attack, Yang Wei heaved a sigh of relief.
“Old Yang, hold it back. I’ll sneak over and see if I can attack this guy’s weakness.”
“You know its weakness?”
Hong Zhijun grinned.
“I don’t know.”
“But who cares? Won’t we know after hitting it a few times?”
“Remember, you have to restrain it. Otherwise, I’ll be nailed into a skewer!”
