Chapter 5 Conflicts Caused by Barbecue
Liu Ming is hungry! Also tired.
Can you not get tired? Harnessing the remnants of a heavily injured bird of prey, he flew thousands of kilometers in a fixed direction in one breath; Finally, the unfortunate remnant of the vulture finally couldn't hold it anymore, and finally fell into the wilderness, and directly braided it; In desperation, Liu Ming had no choice but to take a short blade found from this wreck and walk forward on foot.
I also sighed helplessly in my heart: "Brother Bird, Brother Bird, although I know that you are very wrong to work hard, but at least I saved your life, right?" Although you will inevitably die in the end, at least I have delayed the time of your death for so long, allowing you to survive for a while in this wonderful world, and how much air has been wasted.
You just left me here and left on your own? You've got a populated place before you breathe! How can you let me survive in this deserted place? ”
Daddy!! If that remnant vulture knew anything under the spring, he would definitely jump up in anger and drag Liu Ming down with him! I didn't expect that there was such a shameless person in the world, why didn't he drop a thunderbolt and kill him? The sky has no eyes!
However, there is no endless road, and Liu Ming obviously can't go down to accompany the poor wreckage yet.
It was also his luck, the original escort slave team was about to reach the final destination, and in the end, Liu Ming's escape direction happened to be the right route, so after spending the night in the wilderness, he was lucky not to encounter the attack of demon beasts, and when he continued to walk forward the next day, finally, a huge city appeared in his sight
The excited Liu Ming couldn't help but speed up his pace, and when he came here, all he met were the surviving tribes in the wilderness, simple side fences, small earthen houses, and tribesmen who only held wooden weapons; Everything is so primitive and monotonous, which makes Liu Ming, who jumped here from a technological era, really not very accustomed to it for a while.
At this time, I saw the huge city wall, which was tens of meters high and spanned this wilderness like a natural danger, demonstrating its might, and at the same time, it also represented the crystallization of science and technology and civilization; Coming to the entrance of the city with an excited expression, Liu Ming looked up, and on the city wall dozens of meters high, all kinds of defense means were complete, and it could even be said that there were many tricks; The entire wall is made of huge asphalt stones, which have left traces on it through the passage of time and various battles.
There are traces of blood left on the mottled wall, which has been blackened at this time to form some stains, and it can be clearly seen that there are traces of repair everywhere, in a trance, Liu Ming seems to see the scene of people fighting to the death and stubbornly resisting the attacking demon beasts under this city wall, these traces are all traces left by difficult struggles, which is its glorious record;
Just looking at this standing city wall, you can feel a solemn atmosphere enveloping it, which makes people immediately awe-struck; Once the war machine is in operation, it will definitely be a nightmare for all enemies who come to attack!
The entrance to the gate is about seven meters high and five meters wide, which is rather shabby compared to the magnificent wall itself, but it is also designed to be better defended; At the door was a group of soldiers armed with iron spears, tall and strong bodies, sharp eyes, and an iron-blooded aura that was obviously different from ordinary people, all indicating that they were elite; There are about dozens of people, who are responsible for maintaining order in and out of the city gates, and acting as guards, in the event of an emergency, they will quickly close the city gates, and at the same time warn of entering a state of battle.
Liu Ming directly entered the city safely, and there was no situation where the soldiers stopped him; As soon as you enter the inner city, you will be greeted by the noise and noise, and all kinds of people will come and go, including merchants, patrol soldiers, and all kinds of people; But most of them are vendors selling all kinds of goods; The sound of selling, bargaining, and loud scolding from time to time, the boiling popularity made Liu Ming very excited when he had not had a chance to speak for a long time.
Walking slowly and blending into it, feeling the atmosphere, Liu Ming couldn't help but close his eyes slightly and enjoy it, and finally returned to the civilized world! I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
There are many items sold by the vendors here, including various materials on the body of monsters, including soft animal skins, sharp fangs and claws, and bones that can be made into weapons; All kinds of weapons and armor, including wooden, iron, and even a small amount made of unknown materials, these things have become the mainstream of trading, because to survive in this world, fighting with monsters or people is the most unavoidable, and having a handful of weapons and armor can greatly improve the probability of survival, so the sales of these items are very huge.
Of course, among these two major industries, there are also many other industries; For example, there are slave traders who trade slaves, dragging large groups of able-bodied or delicate slaves and shouting for sale; The animal tamers who domesticate fierce birds and beasts are pulling some domesticated beasts or mounts and shouting loudly; Some people trade in barter, but more often use a strange jade as the money for trading, this jade color is light cyan, smooth and transparent, only the size of a thumb, Liu Ming, who has not touched these, does not know what kind of equivalent to divide, only knows that this is the so-called unified circulation of coins.
Of course, people who have to eat three meals a day will not forget the huge market of food, as they walk along the way, there are also a lot of meat on the stalls of all kinds of large and small shops; It is relatively rare to have a store to eat inside, and the quiet environment inside, and the thoughtful service is obviously not comparable to the small stalls outside, of course, the consumption is not something that ordinary people can afford;
In such an environment, the people who can come there and visit from time to time are usually either rich or expensive, or they are powerful people, and only they can afford the high consumption; But apparently none of these aspects are of concern to Liu Ming for the time being, because he is now facing a very serious problem.
That is, he's hungry! Very hungry, hungry!
He was kept in one place as a slave for a long time, and his extremely small food supply was only enough to sustain consumption; And this has to be fought hard to have, in this case, Liu Ming, who relies on a small amount of inferior food to maintain, has lost a lot of weight in this short period of less than half a month; He already looked emaciated, but now compared to the crowd around him, he was an underdeveloped and malnourished teenager, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.
In the end, he ran away and fought with the wolves, fought wits and courage, experienced dangers, and consumed a lot of mental and physical strength, although the wounds on his body slowly healed because of his special physique, but the lost blood could not be replenished; In the end, he successfully escaped and drove the wreckage to a thousand-mile run, and his long-term mental concentration made him almost reach a limit, but survival ** made him not give up and insist, and he didn't eat a little food until now, nor did he stop to rest for a moment.
At this time, I smelled the food sold on the stalls, and the tempting aroma of the roasted animal meat, which kept coming, making the hungry willow saliva about to flow out; But then he stood there in embarrassment, looking at himself, his clothes were torn, and they were stinking and black, and they hung on his body like strips of cloth, and they were strips of cloth caught in the stinky ditch; He didn't have any money on him, and the only thing he could do was the iron shortblade he got from the vulture, and even if he wanted to take it out for some food, he didn't know if anyone would take it.
Liu Ming, who was embarrassed for a while, had to stand in front of a stall barbecue in embarrassment and helplessness, staring at the fragrant barbecue with his eyes firmly and secretly swallowing saliva; sighed loudly in helplessness in his heart:
"I can't imagine how chic and majestic I am Liu Ming Yingming I? Unexpectedly, in the end, he was reduced to being captured as a slave, and finally escaped from Ascension, but he couldn't even afford to eat a meal at a street stall, so he could only watch and drool? How sad and helpless this is! ”
But no matter how much he sighed, the barbecue in front of him would not automatically run into Liu Ming's hands, and he reluctantly withdrew his eyes, wondering how to get some money and let himself eat first? Just when he wanted to be cheeky and take the short blade, he discussed with the stall owner if he could exchange it for a meal.
Because Liu Ming could see that most of the people here still used wooden weapons, mostly spears and spears, fighting against demon beasts, and only this kind of weapon could give them a more fatal blow; Iron weapons are still relatively rare, which may also be due to their relatively backward refining technology or relatively scarce iron ore, although this is only a short blade, but how can it also be iron, it shouldn't be a problem to change the money for a meal, right?
At this moment, five fierce-looking strong men came to this stall, and they came all the way, and it seemed that they also wanted to have a meal at this stall; But at this time, Liu Ming happened to be standing in front of the stall, just blocking their way, led by a bald man with a full face and flesh, he couldn't help frowning, and suddenly his face showed a fierce face, and he rushed over with a block of about two meters, and slapped him directly At the same time, he scolded in his mouth:
"Damn little slave bastard, you don't have any money and you want to come here to eat? I don't look at what you look like, you still dare to stand in the way of Uncle Ben and look for death! ”
When the word "death" was spoken, his large palm was less than a few centimeters away from Liu Ming's head; When these people appeared, the surrounding crowd consciously retreated and watched the group of people move; Seeing that they were going to teach a thin little guy at this time, as if the wind would fall down, they couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for him, and sighed in their hearts, this palm is going to die, and it is estimated that this little guy will lose half his life if he doesn't die;
But no one would say that they would help out because of compassion, firstly because these guys don't seem to be easy to mess with, and secondly, because no one will sympathize with the weak, on the contrary, they still have some expectations in their hearts at this time, hoping to see a bloody and cruel scene, which is inseparable from the environmental factors and gore here.
Will Liu Ming let them fan? The answer, of course, is no!
Although he was very weak due to various reasons such as hunger and fatigue, the sense of crisis finally subsided a lot after entering the city, and he didn't have to worry about a monster suddenly appearing to attack at any time, so his vigilance was naturally reduced a lot; But that doesn't mean he's a bully!
At the moment when the slap was approaching, he reacted from it, and with a wrong step, he quickly turned his head and turned around, and the speed advantage comparable to the Triple Heaven of Body Refining suddenly burst out in full force, and he avoided this blow without danger; Then, his face instantly sank, and he stared angrily at this guy who was finding fault.
Is it really that he Liu Ming is a soft persimmon and is easy to bully? I think that when others heard his name, they were so frightened that their hands trembled, and he was always the only one who kneaded others, and he almost never met a few guys who dared to break ground on his head; Of course, the exception is in the slave camp, when if you dare to resist, you will definitely die; But now it's not in a slave camp!
A body of arrogance has slowly returned to him, although he is now in a predicament, but not everyone can bully the target! Looking at the strong man with a full face in front of him, although the comparison between him and his body size was like the gap between adults and children, his tone did not hesitate, and asked in a cold voice:
"Just now, you attacked me?"
A few simple words, after they came out of Liu Ming's mouth, made the surrounding crowd feel a solemn atmosphere, and slowly began to spread, an invisible killing intent rose, even if these onlookers who often experienced killing felt a frown, although they were all blood-stained masters, but compared with this killing intent, there was still a big gap; At this time, the passers-by who watched and watched the excitement couldn't help but be a little surprised, they couldn't imagine that this young man who looked weak couldn't help but look like he was not as weak as he looked!
The brute who was surprised and made a move, his face full of flesh was full of surprise, and he also knew that he might have encountered a hard stubble, and the fierce killing intent made him feel cold in an instant; But with so many people watching, and with the support of several brothers behind him, his courage couldn't help but grow again, and he said arrogantly:
"That's right! It's Uncle Ben! Why boy, are you not convinced? ”
But he didn't dare to call other people mongrels or anything like that, this kid in front of him didn't look like a guy to mess with now, and if he didn't have absolute certainty that he couldn't avoid conflict, that would be the best.
"Okay, then you can die!!"
