Chapter 228: The Burning Village

Station, unlike the teleportation stations outside Roger's camp that are so hidden that rats can't find them, in the entire Western Kingdom, including the main city of Lugoin, there are a total of four big cities, namely the main city of Lugoin, and the three major sub-cities - the Highland City, the Oasis City, and the Lost City.

These four great cities from north to south, like centipedes meandering, the northernmost Lugoin is located in the Gobi, the west is bordered by the Lost Forest, that is, the Rogge camp, the east is bordered by the Twin Seas, after crossing the vast Twin Seas, is the boundless green desert - tropical primeval forest, in ancient times there was a country of knights and mages known as Kurast. is deep in it.

Outside the city of Lugaoin is a gravel wasteland, this is a large Gobi, there are few traces of green, from here all the way to the south, if the foot is fast, it only takes about two days to reach the dry highlands, and it is already half a foot into the desert to come here, and the highland city is located here.

If you continue to walk south for a few days, you will see a distant oasis, this land is strange, although coming here is already officially stepping into the desert, but the distant oasis is unexpectedly more lush than the Gobi Lugaoin, here are full of large and small oases, providing rich water sources for the oasis city, and it is precisely because of this that people decided to build a city in the distant oasis, otherwise who has nothing to do to live in the desert? However, although there are many oases, these oases are not as popular with the local residents as expected......

Further south of the distant oasis is the Lost City, which is already a desert enclosure, and during the day, the hot wind rages here. It is said that when you beat an egg on a stone, it will be scorched in an instant, and at night, the water will condense into ice, and if you pee, it will curdle just after it comes out, so be especially careful......

In such a place where the temperature difference between day and night is so severe and repeated, ordinary people simply cannot adapt to survival. Therefore, most of the people in the Lost City are adventurers and merchants, and there are very few residents who live here, and another point is that the Lost City is an ancient battlefield, and there are a large number of sealed ancient equipment buried underground, so there are also many poor people who are not afraid of death gathered here, circling around the periphery of the lost city, while fighting against the bad weather. Guarding against monsters, even desert bandits, and the death-defying environment doesn't stop these money-blinded greed - because if they can pick up a piece of equipment, they'll have enough to squander it for years......

In addition to this, in addition to these four big cities. There are also countless villages scattered around each city, most of which were built by commoners who could not afford to buy houses in the city, but were unwilling to fall into the slum kilns. There is a huge divide between the rich and the poor here. A big businessman like Ryan who can reach tens of thousands of gold coins at his fingertips, and a poor man like Teucer who lives on news and a part-time tour guide.

At first, the management did not pay much attention to the villages, but now the number of villages around the city is even greater than the population of the city, which makes the king and the lord have to think about the safety of these villages. After all, population is the key to a country's prosperity. They still have land for this common sense.

As a result, the safety of the village is better guaranteed. Under this virtuous circle, there are more and more villages, and even many wealthy people have begun to build villas in the villages, which is known as "experiencing the countryside and creating a high-quality life".

However, even if there are soldiers sent to protect them, there are too many villages, and there will always be places that cannot be cared for or are within reach, as is the case now......

This is a small village near the west side of the city of Lugoin, about a day's journey from Lugoin, the village is located here, probably because there is an oasis a few miles away, because it has zài, and the land near it has become very watery, as long as it is done properly, even if some non-drought-tolerant grain and fruits are planted on it, you must know that the price of these things in the Western Kingdom is very high.

In fact, the oasis is dotted with such orchards and cultivated fields, and at the time of harvest time, the branches are hanging from the ripening fruits, conveying a joyful atmosphere to passers-by, making people know at a glance how self-sufficient and even wealthy the village is.

However, just a few miles away from the oasis, the village shimmered red from a distance, and even in the bright sun, the thick white smoke was clearly visible......

Far away on the Gobi side, several white figures flashed, I clenched my fists, and under Xiaoxue's full sprint, I had rushed into the village in less than a moment.

The relentless fire has engulfed the entire village, and the sparks in the sky are like fireflies, flying all over the sky in the roar of crackling flames, dyeing the entire sky crimson and dazzling, as if even space is about to be twisted in this sea of fire, and tall houses continue to collapse under the raging fire, rolling up waves of heat.

Hundreds of corpses, men, women and children, fell to the ground with frightened and desperate looks, blood flowed out of their wounds, intertwined with the firelight, dyeing the whole world red, judging from the distribution of corpses, they were not trapped together and slaughtered collectively, but were suddenly killed and plundered.

As for why I found this information in an instant like a seasoned detective, because it wasn't the first time.

"Little four, little five, you two are looking inside to see if there are any survivors."

Immediately after Xiaoxue, Poison Flower Vine and the four ghost wolves followed, and I ordered two of them, and the next moment, they rushed into the burning house without stopping, and this ignition was nothing to them who had reached the level 2 of mutation.

That's right, in the space of a few months, they have managed to rise to the second level of mutation level. And the lazy crow, who obviously didn't do anything, even more unreasonably reached the third level of mutation.

Ghost Wolf: Skill Level: Level 10: A mutant creature evolved from long-term combat experience, Mutation Level 2, +40 Health, +20% Defense, +20% Speed, +20% Damage, +20% All Resistances. Adds 10 additional strength and 1 agility modifier. 15% chance of Damage with Tear on Attack and +100% damage.

Raven: Skill level: Level 8, a mutant creature evolved from long-term combat experience, mutation level 3, HP +20%, Defense +20%, Flight Speed +60%, All Resistance +20%. Adds an additional 20 agility modifier to have a greater chance of interrupting enemy attacks and has a certain amount of low-level intelligence.

I looked around, and there was good news and bad news, and the bad news was that the killer didn't seem to be left alive. And he has already left, and the good news is that according to the burning Cheng dù, the murderer should have left less than an hour.

Flicked his finger at the head of the lazy crow standing on his shoulder, and now its coat was darker and brighter, so take a closer look. These feathers are faintly like black gems, revealing a mysterious and alluring luster. If you pluck a few to make a feather hat, you must look good.

It seemed to feel the thoughts in my heart, and the lazy crow in a half-sleepy state shivered. Quickly screamed and flew up from my shoulder, and the black eyes the size of soybeans looked at me a few times before reluctantly flying into the sky, its sharp gaze could see all the places within a radius of a few miles, and not even a fly could escape.

"Light snow. It's up to you. ”

Ride on the back of a small snow. I leaned down and touched its head, as if the snow had been prepared. With a confident whimper, he rushed out of the village.

A few kilometers away from the village, in the Gobi Desert, under the hot sun, three figures were moving unhurriedly, the owner of the figure, three desert soldiers dressed as mercenaries, with loose steps, was playing with the gold coins in their hands with a cruel smile.

"Damn, it's so exciting." The mercenary armor on the far left squeezed it fiercely, and the few gold coins inside were compressed into lumps.

"We actually met a fat sheep." Mercenary B in the middle carefully rubbed the gold coin in his hand with his hand, and knew at a glance that he was a money fan.

"However, I heard that the Adventure Alliance seems to have sent an additional master recently, and many brothers have already folded under his hands." Mercenary C on the far right was not as optimistic as the other two, he said with a frown.

"Let's be more restrained during this time, anyway, the money is enough for a while, and when the rumors pass, we will act."

"Cut, those bastards of the Mercenary Alliance, if Lao Tzu touches that person, he must be chopped into meat sauce."

Mercenary A spat out thick phlegm and said disdainfully, but he knew better than anyone else in his heart that if he really touched it, it was not certain who would chop whom, so he did not object to Mercenary C's mentions.

"No, no, no, how can this be done, he should be stripped naked and tied to the top of Lugoin's clock tower, tsk-" Mercenary B laughed.

"Yes, yes, I really want to see the faces of those people in the Adventure Alliance when the time comes, our brothers are also famous." Mercenary A's eyes lit up, and he was already imagining that the leader of the Adventure Alliance would have a face that was even paler than a pig's liver.

Mercenary C smiled and nodded, he was the most calm in the team, so he didn't follow along, he knew that these two guys were just bragging, it was estimated that if they really met the masters sent by the alliance, they would run faster than anyone else.

"Really? I'm really looking forward to it. ”

A voice that didn't belong to them sounded slowly from behind.

"Who?"

Mercenaries A, B, and C instantly drew their weapons and looked around back to back, and it could be seen from their neat movements that the three of them cooperated with each other very tacitly.

Then, in the sight of the mercenary armor, a black shadow slowly appeared in the wind and dust - a wide cloak shrouded the entire body, making it impossible to judge the specific equipment and profession, but the exposed helmet alone was enough to surprise people - the silver streamlined full-coverage helmet, under the light of the fierce sun, flashed with sharp light, and from the gap in the eye position faintly revealed two cold eyes full of murderous intent, the most peculiar is that it extends on both sides of the helmet, like a bull's horn-like decoration, no, not a decoration, the sharp horns can easily penetrate the iron plate.

Just this helmet is enough to make these three mercenaries desperate, the excellent helmet, the blue excellent helmet, the high-level helmet whose strength must reach 63 points at least, can the warrior who can wear this kind of helmet be able to deal with it himself?

"Listen, everyone, immediately run in different directions, see your luck, and if you are still alive, gather in the old place."

There was a hint of sadness in Mercenary C's trembling voice, among the three people, only two people could escape at most, and from those eyes full of murderous intent, Mercenary C saw the determination of the killing-the other party really wanted to kill the three of them, and there would be no room at all.

Since the Fall, since the first massacre of civilians, Mercenary C has already had this kind of awareness, one day, his hands are covered with countless blood, he will be hunted down like this, and then the wolf bèi fled, and finally died on a certain sand dune, and the corpse became a member of the countless winds and sand on the desert.

Obviously, he already had such an awareness, and he thought that he had put life and death out of the way, but at this time, he still trembled involuntarily, began to fear, and began to regret - how good it would have been if he hadn't taken this step at that time.

I don't want to die!!!

His face twisted violently, struggling, and then, before the other two could react, he had already spread his footsteps, and fled in the opposite direction without any posture, and the other two mercenaries looked at each other in amazement, and also ran in two opposite directions left and right.

It's like a Russian revolver, there will always be someone who will die, and whoever dies will live, by providence, by luck.
