How do you think we are thieves? We are masters of the wilderness, we are thieves ......."

Shangguan laughed wordlessly, and stuffed the fruit in Shangguan Yi's hand directly into his mouth, "It's still a thief, so you think so." Okay, I won't tell you, you have a good rest. I need to go sit outside. ”

In order to save Shangguan Yi from the trap, Shangguan Wuyan spent a lot of effort and exhausted all his aura. As a result, she herself was injured a little and needed to find a place with aura to recuperate.

In the wilderness, most places have a lot of aura, especially where there are woods, and generally there will be plenty of aura.

Shangguan Wuyan went outside, chose a suitable place to sit down, and began to enter the void world, relax his body, let every cell in his body open, and absorb the aura of the outside world.

At this time, it can be seen that the aura attached to the woods, as if it has been summoned, is flying over in a steady stream, first attaching to Shangguan Wuyan's body, and then slowly entering the body and fusing with it.

People who enter the Void World will be very relaxed all over their bodies, and their vigilance will also decrease, if they do not have the Dharma Protector, they will encounter danger and cannot wake up from the Void World in time, they will have to be slaughtered by others. However, Shangguan Wuyan was very clever in setting up an enchantment in the outside world, unless his cultivation was higher than her, others would not find out about it.

Speaking of Lu Ming and his party, they came to a wilderness village ten kilometers away after more than two hours of hiking. In other words, it is a village, but in fact, there are only three or five families and three or five houses. The wilderness village is strictly an outpost set up by the military headquarters in the wilderness, and there are special people to guard it. And the guards will also be at least six people sent by the military department.

The village looks very desolate, and the houses are all thatched, but have been simply renovated. Next to the village is a stone monument carved with dense characters, all about the rules of survival in the wilderness. Next to the stele is a bridge, under which a clear river flows. The village is located on three sides surrounded by water, and to get in, you need to cross the bridge. The environment here is a confirmation of an ancient poem, withered vines and old trees, faint crows, small bridges and flowing water, and ancient roads and westerly winds and thin horses. This is Ma Zhiyuan's "Tianjing Shaqiu Si", and the environment here is exactly the same as the description in the poem.

After arriving at the bridge, Lu Ming and the others found that there were also very high walls around the village, about four or five meters. To enter the village, you have to cross the bridge and pass through a large iron gate. Although it was a relatively desolate place, it was relatively safe, with a first line of defense surrounded by water on three sides, and high enough walls to ward off thieves and alien beasts who tried to enter the village.

Although these don't seem to be of much use, anyone above rank 7 can learn to fly with a sword and land directly from the sky.

When I arrived at the big iron gate, I knocked on the door, and what came out was a man in his fifties, I saw that he was wearing a white golden brocade robe with a branch lotus piece, a brocade belt tied around his waist, long hair like flowing water, eyes like torches under his eyebrows, and a strong body. He also had a scimitar about three feet long pinned to his waist and a three-meter-long wooden stick in his hand.

Seeing Lu Ming and his party, the old man's eyes widened, and he said in a loud voice, "Who are you?"

Zhao Tianlin and the others didn't speak, he stepped forward and took out a task card and a letter of recommendation from the school from his backpack.

The old man glanced at it, and the fierce appearance just now immediately disappeared, and a sweet smile appeared instead.

At this time, the old man had already opened the big iron door and made a gesture to invite everyone in.

The yard was full of weeds and dead leaves, and it looked as if no one had lived in it for more than a decade. In the center is a two-story house with a thatched roof. The ground floor is inhabited, and the upper floor is used for patrols and guards. There were two thatched huts on each side, and there were people talking inside, and when they saw Lu Ming and the others coming in, they all came out to see what was going on.

There are only a dozen people who come out, most of them have dark faces, although they should be in their early twenties, but they have the body of an old man. They looked listless, and most of the scimitars at their waists were worn, some without scabbards, some only half a sword, and these weapons could not defeat the people of the wilderness.

The old man invited everyone into the thatched hut in the center, and politely found a few stools for everyone to sit on. But after searching the whole house, I only found three. Lu Ming didn't sit down, but walked out of the house, wanting to see what the whole so-called wilderness village was like.

After inquiry, Lu Ming seemed a little unoptimistic about everything in front of him.

It had been a long time since the military had sent anything, so the soldiers had to risk their lives to go out hunting. If you're lucky, you can bring back one or two game, and if you're unlucky, you'll lose your life. The soldier told Lu Ming that there were forty or fifty people who came first, and their mission was to eliminate the thieves and strange beasts in the vicinity. But after such a long time, not only did no more people be sent, but no aid was delivered. Their lives are very sad.

"Since the situation here is very bad, why did the school and the military department let us come over to carry out such a mission?" Lu Ming pondered in his heart, "Every soldier looks like he is at least four or five grades, and his cultivation is already quite high, even higher than the group members. Isn't sending a few of us here now tantamount to death?"

When he returned to the thatched house, the old man was introducing the situation to Zhao Tianlin and others, "Everyone is here, we are relieved." I heard that you are the elite sent by Modu University and Kyoto University together, and to be honest, I am very happy, which shows that the military department has not forgotten us. It's just that I have a question, why don't you send supplies here from the military department, I've already reported to the military department. ”

Faced with the old man's question, Zhao Tianlin was also confused, whether he came to experience training or to carry out the tasks of the military department. "Old village chief, I really don't know much about this, I'm not from the military department, so I don't know much about your situation. As you can see, we're here to learn and our second mission is to take down the thieves around the village and catch the leader of the thieves. ”

The old man smiled bitterly, and the hope that had just been ignited in his heart was immediately poured with a basin of cold water. "Young man, do you know how long we've been here, do you know how much my cultivation is? Look at all this in front of you, we haven't made any progress in three years, let alone you. ”
