Inside the cracks in the canyon, there is a moist smell, and there is also a strange smell of rotten and moldy sawdust. It smells a bit sweet at first, but after you smell it for a long time, you will feel that it is an indescribable odor. It makes people feel very restless.
Since it had just rained heavily last night, the cracks in the canyon were wet everywhere. The rocks were covered with weeds and moss, making them very slippery. If you were an ordinary person, you would definitely fall down several times. .
The daytime temperature in the canyon is not very low originally, but because the air humidity is too high and it is in the wild, the cold and humid air still makes people feel chilly. The inheritor does not care, but ordinary people even if they wear thick clothes The clothes will also tremble.
Some ordinary people use firewood and branches to light fires to keep warm, or hang iron pots on the bonfires to heat hot water. However, the branches in this forest are very humid, and there is no sunlight at all, so using firewood to light a fire usually causes a large amount of smoke to spread out. The billowing black smoke choked the person heating next to him and kept coughing, which was quite embarrassing.
"Hey, living in this humid canyon crack, everything is fine, but the humidity is too heavy, even making a fire is inconvenient, it's so cold, and people often suffer from rheumatism, but we are helpless..." Man The force soldier smiled bitterly, and it was obvious that he was a good and responsible person. He wanted to do his best to help his compatriots, but he was powerless and could not help much. After all, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. The compatriots in the base There are thirty to forty thousand people, how can he help so much
"Isn't there a fire mage?"
"Fire mages... To tell you the truth, among our hundreds of Yang Soul inheritors, there are indeed dozens of fire mages. But for some reason, the casualties of fire mages are extremely high. Those bugs are specifically looking at fire mages. The mages launched an attack, so to this day, dozens of fire mages have died, only three or four are left... Moreover, these three or four fire mages are all of very low levels. The strongest is only Just like me, the second-level mid-level can't play a big role."
In this humid canyon forest, the water element is quite abundant, and the fire element is relatively greatly affected. The strength of the fire mage is also greatly reduced. However, the fire mage's spell casting is very noisy, and it is easy to kill in the humid forest. Attracts the bug's attention. Therefore, the fire mage is destined to be tragic...
"No wonder..."
Li Jiayu nodded slightly, responded, and asked no more questions.
Soon, the brute warriors had led Li Jiayu forward for dozens of meters to the depths of the canyon crevices, where many wooden sheds had been built. Although they were crookedly built, they could still protect them from wind and rain. The footwall is also three feet off the ground, which can slightly reduce the impact of moisture.
There are many colorful mushrooms growing on the roof of the wooden shed. But those mushrooms are highly poisonous and must not be eaten. In fact, in this forest full of mutant plants, there are very few edible mushrooms.
"Ouch, what a big centipede!"
A half-beast warrior held a centipede more than ten centimeters long on his fingers and shouted happily.
"Wow, Lao Qin, your arms have turned black. Could it be that you were bitten by this kind of centipede?" the companion said in horror.
"It's okay. I am a half-orc with a strong physique. Unless I am the second-level intermediate seven-color centipede king, the centipedes on the earth cannot poison me. I have to ask Lao Sun to do me a favor and take the medicine from this centipede. The effect was forced out. People say that centipedes can get rid of rheumatism. I thought about asking my dad to get rid of rheumatism. Alas, his legs have been hurting so much these days that he can't get out of bed at all..." The half-beast warrior grinned. shouted.
"Then we have to hurry up. We can survive living in this place, but ordinary people are suffering a lot. A lot of people died of illness in the past few days... "
"That's true… "
Just as the two soldiers guarding the base were having a conversation, Brute Force Warrior and Li Jiayu had just appeared in front of them. The two soldiers were immediately dumbfounded and stared at the heroic Li Jiayu, forgetting everything, especially the half-man. The beast warrior's fingers were trembling, and the long centipede that had been pinched tightly fell to the ground. He squirmed his insect legs in a hurry, got into the crack of the stone again, and disappeared without a trace.
"Old Qin, Xiao Zhao, don't be in a daze, it's embarrassing..." Seeing the two warriors looking like pig brothers, the Brute Warrior quickly coughed and reminded them to pay attention to their image: "This is ours My benefactor, she made a special trip to our base to see Captain Muto Yun... "
"Oh..." The half-beast warrior only came back to his senses now, but he still stared at Li Jiayu closely. After a while, he took a breath and asked cautiously: "Is she a strong person from other bases?"
"I don't know either..." Brute Force Warrior smiled bitterly. He still doesn't know Li Jiayu's name, let alone where Li Jiayu comes from, and what his purpose is here.
"I'm from Yongcheng. Is this enough?" Li Jiayu said lightly.
"Coming from Yongcheng? This... is so far away..."
The half-beast warrior and his companions looked at each other and changed slightly. Although they had expected it, they were still quite shocked to hear that Li Jiayu came from Yongcheng, which is 600 kilometers away. After all, 600 kilometers is too far away. Yes, you will inevitably encounter a large number of bugs on the road, even if there are bug bosses above level three, there will definitely not be any less.
"Lead the way." Li Jiayu had no time to mess around with the half-beast warrior.
The Brute Warrior quickly took Li Jiayu in. The Orc and his companions looked at each other and said blankly:
"Tsk, tsk, she comes from Yongcheng, and she looks so beautiful... Is she here to save our base? But why did she go to Team Captain Muto Yun alone? That guy is only a second-level high-level guy, how could he provoke this? She noticed..."
"Okay, that kind of big shot is not something we little people can guess at. Here, this is for you."
Xiaofen took out a few wild fruits from his backpack and threw them into the hands of the two gatekeepers, which immediately made the two gatekeepers smile. They were both hard-working people. Because they had to guard the door all the time, they couldn't go out to look for food and make money. For extra money, they can only wait for other inheritors to send them food.
The depths of the canyon cracks are more chaotic than expected. Many people stay in wooden sheds, enduring the torment of rheumatism. Even if there are people wandering outside, they mostly do it to warm themselves by the fire. Few people speak, because they have already There was no topic of conversation, and almost everyone's faces were dull and lifeless.
The long-term suffering has already made them completely desperate. The reason why they are still lingering is just because they hold the idea that it is better to die than to live, and simply do not want to go to hell. They don't know how long this kind of life will last. In time, maybe in a few months, all the ordinary people here may die one after another...
In the open space in front, a strong bonfire was lit, surrounded by a group of middle-aged and elderly people in twos and threes. The firelight shone gloomily on their pale, wrinkled faces.
"Uncle Liu, Sister-in-law Wang! Why are you..."
Suddenly, the brute force warrior rushed forward and kicked over the iron pot on the bonfire. With a "Zi" sound, the boiling soup in the iron pot spilled all over the floor, and even the flames of the bonfire weakened. Most of it.
The Brute Force warrior was not a rude person. The reason why he kicked over the iron pot was because he noticed from a distance that there were colorful mushrooms tumbling in the iron pot. He immediately understood that they must be those middle-aged and elderly people. I was so hungry that I had to eat poisonous mushrooms to satisfy my hunger. It was good to have a full meal, but even if I died of poisoning, I would be a dead ghost in hell. It would be pointless to continue living anyway. I would be hungry every day. A little bit The food was not filling at all.
"Xiao Wu... Just let us old bones die... There is no point in our lives. Our whole body is full of rheumatic pain, and the pain makes it difficult to sleep every night. Besides, we are really old. Continue If we continue to live, we will only waste food..."
An old woman in her fifties cried, her voice full of endless sadness and determination.
Until the moment of despair, who would be willing to commit suicide by taking poison? And a large group of middle-aged and elderly people committed suicide by taking poison... That scene, in the eyes of young inheritors such as Brute Force Warriors, was so helpless and desolate...
In fact, in recent times, it is not uncommon for people to commit suicide by eating poisonous mushrooms. There are dozens of them every day. Sometimes a whole family. The father made poisonous mushroom soup without telling his wife and children, and also deceived his wife and children. Those colorful poisonous mushrooms were new varieties, and you would be fine if you ate them. In the end, the whole family went to Huangquan Road hand in hand, and even the corpses were buried with the help of neighbors...
"No, don't be like this, Sister-in-law Wang, don't give up. Take this first. If you eat this, you won't be so hungry. Sister-in-law Wang, Uncle Liu, listen to me. I will be able to break through soon." When I reach the second level of high level, I will become stronger and lead my comrades out to hunt more insect meat, and the food will be doubled, no, ten times! By then I will be able to get ten times more than I am now. Twice the food, enough to feed more people!”
The brute warrior blushed and roared loudly. At the same time, he took out a large piece of insect meat from his backpack, tore it into small pieces in a few strokes, and handed it to the group of middle-aged and elderly people.
These insect meats are some kind of high-grade boiled snail insect meat. The meat is covered with disgusting **, and the taste is absolutely terrible. Not only is it difficult to roast, but the taste is quite bad. It's like eating leather, and there are still weak toxins in the meat, which is very harmful to the kidneys. Young people are better off if they eat it, but if the elderly eat it, it will accelerate death...
But, no matter what, the worm meat of boiled snails can still be used to satisfy one's hunger, which is much better than starving to death. (To be continued)RQ
