There was a heavy sigh from the surrounding crowd. "This guy is pretty awesome!" Lu Yuan admired in his heart. The opponent's muscles were still tense, which meant that he had not passed out. The three form techniques of "Iron Fingerprint", "Giant Strength" and "Hardening" are quite sharp in terms of both offense and defense. If Lu Yuan's attributes weren't twice as high as those of his opponent, and he had the same attributes in pure physical combat, he might not be his opponent. Of course, under the divine skill, everyone is just an ant. The attack power can be replaced by technological weapons, and the defense power can be worn through armor. But the skills of God cannot be replaced. Just relying on the soul-killing ability of "Eternal Fire", it is difficult for these warriors to resist. A few seconds later, Shakaner got up from the ground and patted his butt. There was a dull pain in his calf. He didn't expect that he would lose after just a few moves. It was obvious that the opponent had let him down on purpose.
The gap in the middle may be several levels. At the moment, I didn’t get entangled in it and just made a courtesy to show my respect. Then he slowly stepped back and complained with a wry smile: "Elder, I can't beat him at all. Is that red light an extraordinary fire? It feels more powerful than the empire's instructors... The opponent didn't use all his strength at all." The elder also saw it and comforted him: "It's normal... Only with this kind of force can we cross the desert and tame this cockatrice!" He planned to invite this person to settle in the village, even to discuss some knowledge and trade some goods. "This place is too dangerous and not a good place to live." But when I thought that the other party could tame a monster-like hen, and it seemed like nothing to live here, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Finally, he patted his head and invited him bravely: "This strong man, would you like to go to the village and sit for a while?" "Our village is full of poverty, but there are still places to rest and entertain." Lu Yuan naturally wanted it. He wanted to see what the "martial skills" of this race were, and he also wanted to get information about the City in the Sky. However, he still pretended to think for more than ten seconds. After waiting for these Shali people to start to feel hesitant and confused, they slowly nodded: "I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well go and have a look." The old cat couldn't stand it anymore, and scratched his head: "This guy is really pretending. You must not imitate Conch." Conch translated: "If you have nothing to do, you can just go and have a look. There is no need to prepare too much red tape." 】 Lao Mao was shocked that he actually used classical Chinese. This guy was so elegant. It suddenly recalled that Mama the cat also had the title of "Elegance of the Tiger", and then thinking about how nervous it was now, it couldn't help but twitch all over. … Just like that, after bidding farewell to the old hen hatching eggs under the tree, Lu Yuan poured some water on his vegetables. Under the resentful eyes of the old hen, he followed the Shali clan to their residence. This small village is about 40 kilometers away from the Sky City. Almost a day's journey.
The sky was still filled with yellow sand, but the ground was obviously hard. On the cracked earth, there were several poplar trees growing crookedly. Even this most drought-tolerant plant has lost all its leaves and is no longer the miracle it once was. Near an arid karez stands a pavilion with faded wooden pillars. The blue-gray stone road is covered with a thin layer of yellow sand. Thinking about it, this must have been a generous act of "God". "God" completely transported a piece of the earth's crust from another world into the desert, so these infrastructures still exist. Someone was patrolling in the pavilion. After seeing the large army returning, the patrolmen showed expressions of excitement and joy, ran into the village and started yelling. "came back!" "They brought back water! Water!!" Thinking about it, this world is too difficult. Even if the expedition team did not fill up the water in the luggage, only about one third, it still solved the urgent need. The whole village cheered for the appearance of the water, and all the women and old people ran out. Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and inspected the karez. Not a drop of water left. The soil is barely moist, and some drought-tolerant plants like cacti grow in it. The Shali clan relies on these cacti as food and has survived until now... Some barefoot children ran over and spotted the tricycle. They all looked around curiously and said something. Especially when they saw the huge tied turtle, their eyes were full of wonder and they said some indigenous slang: "Love the face-washing drama!" [They said that this turtle must taste very delicious and very competitive. 】 [They actually also know Turtle...] "If we keep chopping off this turtle's limbs and letting it regenerate, can we feed everyone?" Lu Yuan suddenly thought of a crooked idea. 【ah? You are such a scumbag, you actually want to cook your own brother! 】 Lu Yuan couldn't help teasing her: "Why am I such a scumbag? What I call sacrificing one person to save millions of people, do you understand that this is fearless dedication?" "My good brother is delirious right now. If you cut off his head, it won't hurt." The high-quality, high-moral Conch was stunned. A simple person like her was obviously no match for the veteran, so she said: [I always feel something is wrong, but limited by my knowledge, I can't refute it for the time being. 】 A day later, the turtle's wounds had long since recovered, but it was still unconscious. When it saw the children, it shouted intimidation: "Waaaaa!" Several children were frightened and cried, stepped back a few steps, and fell to the ground like dominoes. Several women wearing camel hair clothes hurried over to coax the children. "Lu Yuan, your wish to find a partner is about to come true." The old cat asked very seriously, "These humanoid creatures should meet your aesthetic standards?"
Lu Yuan rolled his eyes. Although they are humanoid creatures, their skin is brown... Well, it doesn't matter too much. No matter what skin color, people are beautiful. The most fatal thing is that no matter whether they are men, children, or women, they have patina on their bodies because they haven't taken a bath for a long time... I, Old Lu, have to block my sense of smell now. Do you know the pain in my heart? ! Because of the arrival of guests, the village slaughtered an old camel... In fact, Lu Yuan felt that there was no need for this, but it was really hard to refuse the kindness. The way to cook a camel is a bit like fried chicken. First, bleed it, peel it, and then throw it into a sand full of mineral salts, and then roast it with a black soil. Looking at the black smoke and smelling the smell, Lu Yuan couldn't help but doubt his life: Isn't that... oil? Soon, the roasted whole camel was cooked, the skin was golden and crispy, and it tasted a bit like air-dried beef? Quite chewy. This camel weighs nearly 500 kilograms, and everyone in the village got a bite of meat. Children are always carefree. If they have a bite to eat, they will be happy, eat with oil in their mouths, somersault on the ground, and play with stones. The adults talked about the scene they saw in the sky city, and lamented: "Someone in the next village went crazy and rushed in after dreaming..." This may be the original sin of the weak race. Even if the safe zone was revoked a long time ago and more time for development was obtained, what would it matter? This natural disaster alone can make them slowly extinct. If it doesn't rain, the extinction will happen in the next few years. In a few decades, the village will be swallowed by the desert, and no one will know that there was a weak civilization here. Lu Yuan didn't have any good ideas, because the village was not small, with thousands of people. Ten villages together have a population of nearly 50,000. How could he protect the daily lives of tens of thousands of people? What's more, he went crazy after being tempted by the Sky City, and Lu Yuan couldn't help him in this situation... His good brother, the Undestroyed Giant Turtle, has not recovered his mind yet. Thinking of this, Lu Yuan stood up and ran to the side of the tricycle to beat the "ga ga" screaming turtle. By the way, he secretly took out some fruits and gave them to the children. These little guys were naturally overjoyed, looking at the purple-skinned Lu Yuan with big eyes, laughing "hehehe". I didn't expect this weirdo to be a good person. "Ahem!" Lu Yuan did not feel embarrassed. The pigment sprayed by the flower buds settled into the cells, but it was not toxic and should return to its original state after a while. After dinner, a group of men gathered together and chatted casually. "How much do you know about that city?" Lu Yuan pointed to the distance, "What monsters are there in total?" "Five years, we have so many villages, sent many expedition teams, and roughly explored the outer areas." Elder Sha Sanli frowned and recalled: "There is an extremely huge queen worm hiding in the sewer and occupying the water source of the sewer. It is about... the size of a two-story house." "This worm not only reproduces, but also pollutes part of the water source of the sewer, causing the water there to become subtly toxic, which will poison the crops."
Lu Yuan nodded slightly, not knowing how strong this queen worm is. "Have you ever thought about killing it?" "Everyone who saw it is dead." Sha Sanli said with a wry smile, "That was a story three years ago..." The Shali tribe is not short of heroes. Three years ago, warriors organized a crusade against these powerful creatures to seize water sources. But intelligent life always has its bad roots. On the one hand, the dark and narrow sewer battle is really terrible. It is difficult to exert strength even with a large number of people. Losing life is just a matter of a moment. On the other hand, before the water source is grabbed, twenty villages have already started fighting over the distribution issue. Who can get more water? Who will distribute it? Who can intimidate everyone? This is a distribution issue, and also a political issue. So in the end, this proposal also came to nothing. Today, the population is dwindling, the number of warriors is constantly decreasing, and it is even more impossible to organize such a battle. "It's really three monks with no water to drink..." Lu Yuan sighed in a low voice.
