The crowd around him suddenly sighed heavily.
"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 forms of skills "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 just for melee 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 replaced by armor.
However, the skills of gods 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 bother with it, I just made a courtesy and showed 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 instructors of the empire... 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 even tame a monster-like hen, and living here seemed like nothing, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Finally, he patted his head and bravely invited: "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 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."
Hailuo 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.]
The old cat was shocked. He actually used classical Chinese. This guy was so elegant. He suddenly recalled that Mama the cat also had the title of "Tiger's Elegance". Thinking about how neurotic he was now, he couldn't help but twitch all over.
…
Just like that, after saying goodbye to the old hen hatching eggs under the tree, Lu Yuan poured a little more 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 is still filled with yellow sand, but the ground is 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 a dry qanat, a pavilion stands, its wooden pillars long faded.
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 troops returning, the patrolmen showed expressions of excitement and joy, ran into the village and started yelling.
"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 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 the limbs of this turtle and letting it regenerate, will we be able to 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.]
One day later, the tortoise's wounds had long since recovered, but it was still unconscious. When it saw the children, it threatened loudly: "Wow, quack, quack!"
Several children were frightened and cried. They took a few steps back and fell to the ground like dominoes.
Several women wearing camel hair clothes quickly ran over to comfort the children.
"Lu Yuan, your wish to find a partner is about to come true." Old Mao asked seriously, "Should these humanoid creatures conform to your aesthetic taste?"
Lu Yuan rolled his eyes. Although it was a humanoid creature, its skin was brown...well, it didn't matter too much. People of all skin colors were beautiful.
The most fatal thing is that whether it is a man, a child, or a woman, because they have not bathed for a long time, their bodies are covered with pulp...
I, Lao 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... Actually, Lu Yuan felt that it was not necessary, but it was hard to refuse such kindness.
The method of cooking camel is a bit like salt-fried chicken. First, it is bled, skinned, then thrown into a kind of sand full of mineral salts, and then roasted in a kind of black soil.
Looking at the black smoke and smelling the smell, Lu Yuan couldn't help but doubt life: So... isn't it oil?
Soon, the whole roasted camel was cooked. The skin was golden and crispy. It tasted a bit like air-dried beef. It was quite chewy.
This camel weighed nearly 500 kilograms, and everyone in the village got a piece of meat.
Children are always carefree and happy when they have a bite to eat. Their mouths are full of oil and they turn somersaults on the ground and play with stones.
The adults talked about what they saw in the Sky City, and lamented: "Someone from the next village had a dream and rushed in madly..."
This may be the original sin of the weak race. Even if the safe zone was revoked very early and was given more time to develop, so what?
This natural and man-made disaster alone can drive them to chronic extinction.
If God doesn't rain again, the time of extinction will be within these few years.
In a few decades, the village will be swallowed up by the desert, and no one will know that a weak civilization once appeared here.
In fact, Lu Yuan didn't have any particularly good ideas, because the village was quite large, with thousands of people.
The ten villages together have a population of nearly 50,000.
How can he have the ability to protect the daily lives of tens of thousands of people?
What's more, Lu Yuan went crazy after being tempted by the Sky City. There was nothing Lu Yuan could do to save him... His good brother, the Immortal Giant Turtle, has not yet regained his consciousness.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan stood up, ran to the side of the tricycle and beat up the turtle that was screaming "quacking".
By the way, I secretly took out some fruits and gave them to the children.
These little guys were naturally very happy. They looked at the purple-skinned Lu Yuan with their big eyes and smiled "hehehe".
I didn't expect this weirdo to be a good person.
"Ahem!" Lu Yuan didn't feel embarrassed at all. The pigment spit out by the flower buds settled heavily into the cells, but it was not toxic and should return to its original state after a while.
After eating, a group of men gathered together and chatted casually.
"How much do you know about that city?" Lu Yuan pointed into the distance, "How many monsters are there in total?"
"In the past five years, we have sent many expedition teams to so many villages, and the outer areas have been roughly explored."
Elder Sha Sanli frowned and recalled: "There is an extremely huge female insect hiding in the sewer and occupying the water source of the sewer. It is about...as big as a two-story house."
"This bug not only reproduces, but also pollutes part of the water source in the sewer, causing the water there to be subtly toxic and poisoning crops."
Lu Yuan nodded slightly, not knowing how strong this female insect was.
"Have you never thought of killing it?"
"Anyone who saw it is already dead." Sha Sanli said with a bitter smile, "That was a story three years ago..."
The Shali clan also has no shortage of heroes. Three years ago, some warriors organized a crusade against these powerful beings to snatch water sources.
But intelligent life always has its bad qualities. On the one hand, the battle in the dark and cramped sewers is really scary. With a large number of people, it is difficult to exert strength. Losing one's life only takes a moment.
On the other hand, before the water source could be obtained, twenty villages had already started fighting over the distribution issue.
Who can get more water? Who will distribute it? Who can bully everyone?
This is a distribution issue as well as a political issue.
So in the end, this proposal came to nothing.
Today, the number of people is withering, the number of soldiers is constantly decreasing, and it is impossible to organize such a battle.
"Three monks really have no water to drink..." Lu Yuan sighed in a low voice.
Chapter completed!
