"Hero from afar, I am Morga, the village chief of Moro Village, and I would like to express my incomparable gratitude to you," the old man who walked in front came to a position a few steps away from Li Ran, and bent forward with his cane in both hands

Seeing this, Li Ran hurriedly stepped forward, stopped the village chief who wanted to salute with both hands, and said softly: "The village chief is too polite, although I am just a passing ranger, but seeing this situation, I believe that every righteous person will not stand idly by, and I hope to get your forgiveness, I only hate that I am not strong enough, and I can't help anything, so many innocent villagers died at the feet of this group of beasts!" ”

However, Li Ran's hurried forward to support the village chief made several guards behind the old man look nervous, and two of them quickly flashed to the sides of the old man's body, and put their hands on the scimitars on their waists. However, what the two of them didn't expect was that just when the two guards arrived at the old man's side, Li Ran's body suddenly blew away like smoke, and when he reappeared, he was already on the old man's shoulder, which surprised everyone.

At the same time, the two Maruk warriors behind Li Ran, Dagenai and Tristan, saw that the other party wanted to make a move, and they also followed a few steps to press the knife and came behind Li Ran, and several other lamp gods even bypassed and faintly surrounded the others. The scene suddenly became a little tense.

Village Chief Morga looked around for a moment, and looked thoughtfully at Li Ran, who was still smiling at the other side, he didn't care about the few elemental lamp gods around him and the two warriors behind this person, because the guards behind him were not vegetarians, not to mention that as a village chief, he still had some self-protection ability.

But Li Ran's flashing hand just now made him feel a chill in his heart, this kind of similar skill he had only seen once many years ago, that is, when he was still an adventurer, and a group of companions in order to prove their bravery, they went to the most dangerous and terrifying hell plane through the teleportation array. At first, they slew many goggles and hellhounds, including some high-ranking demons and witches, there by their bravery. However, just when they were full of confidence and thought that the hellish plane was nothing more than that, they encountered a real great demon!

So the Archdemon became their eternal nightmare, and they had no chance of winning such a battle, because they really had nothing to do with the Archdemon, and every time the Archdemon teleported to them, it would take the lives of several of their companions, until they were afraid, frightened, panicked, and began to flee, and the battle became a one-sided slaughter.

The team of hundreds of people was defeated by a great demon, and when they finally managed to escape to the teleportation array, there were less than a dozen people left in their team at that time. It was only after that time that he accepted his ambition to travel the world, accepted the things given to him by his father, and worked hard to become a competent village head.

Unexpectedly, decades later, he would see this skill again, although it was only somewhat similar. But how could it not send a chill down his heart? But after so many years as a village chief, he has long been accustomed to being moody and moody. I saw him smile slightly and said: "The hero is too polite, if you hadn't delayed this group of brutal bulls at the critical moment, I'm afraid that I and my people would have a hard time surviving today, my old bones are a small matter, but it is related to the life and death of my clan, even if I die, I will become a sinner of the whole clan, thank you from the bottom of my heart!" ”

Li Ran shook his head with some regret, looked at the dilapidated buildings in the village and said, "Alas~! The village chief doesn't have to blame himself too much, he can only blame those brute bulls for being too cruel, as long as you have faith, I believe you will recover soon! ”

Hearing this, the village chief Morga smiled bitterly and said, "Old! It's useless, I should have strengthened the defense of the city wall a few months ago, because I was unwell and dragged on until now, but I didn't expect it to be a big mistake this time! ”

Li Ran smiled slightly and didn't speak, but at his signal, Maruk's guards Dagenai and Tristan slowly put away their weapons, but out of vigilance, their hands were still on them, ready to fight at any time. As for the few lantern gods, they also vaguely retreated a little, and withdrew the frame that surrounded each other!

The two chatted like this for a while, and after a long time, the village chief Morga made a difficult decision, only to see him draw out his right hand, make an inviting gesture and say: "In order to express our gratitude, I only invite the heroes into the village on behalf of all the people in the village, guide us to rebuild, and reward our local specialties."

Li Ran thought for a while and said, "That's good! Even though I'm just a traveler, I hope to be able to do a little bit of help, and I can use our place just for orders! ”

The village chief, Morga, touched his beard and shook his head slightly, then turned around and brought Li Ran and his troops into the village.

As a former adventurer and current leader, he understood and saw the ** of the ranger in front of him, but he couldn't refuse, or even dared not refuse. Because in this war-torn world, all moral concepts are hypocritical, and they don't have enough strength to protect themselves, waiting for its end to be extinct, and this is the current situation in their village. Although I don't know if the attack of the wild bull has anything to do with this ranger, it doesn't matter now, the important thing is that their village has no ability to protect itself now, and if they flatly reject the person in front of them, maybe this destruction is just around the corner.

Especially the skill that the ranger showed just now made him even more scared.

Stepping on the gate at the entrance of the village, which had been broken and fallen to the ground, Morga couldn't help but glance at Li Ran beside him, only to see that the latter was bending down to pick up a log at this time, and said softly after a while: "Fortunately, although these brute bulls are powerful, their heads are really not bright, if other creatures of the same strength come over, I am afraid it will be very troublesome with such a defense system!" ”

Knowing what Li Ran meant, Morga, who was the village head, thought for a while and couldn't help but sigh and said: "I also understand this kind of thing, but the residents in the village are really limited, most of the young and middle-aged people still have to go out to forage for food and hunt, and the rest of the village is no longer enough, and there is really no time to improve the defense of these city walls!" ”

Li Ran sighed and said, "Didn't I see you planting some grain outside the village before I came?" ”

Hearing this, the village chief suddenly sighed and said: "Originally, our village also saved some money a few years ago, and asked someone to buy some seeds in the main city hundreds of kilometers away, but I don't know what the reason is, many seeds are scattered and most of them are useless, and some of the rest are growing something, but after a few ballasts, the harvest is getting less and less, alas! What if this continues? ”

Li Ran understood as soon as he heard it, it was because these villagers did not know how to plant that they would plant less and less grain, and for these villagers who were used to hunting and gathering, this situation was also common.

So Li Ran nodded slightly and said: "Don't worry, we have traveled all over the world, and we have seen a lot of this situation, I also happened to collect some seeds here, you will use them first, and after a while, I will find a companion who knows how to plant, let him guide you, then you can provide yourself with food, and naturally you can have more time to strengthen your defense, such as your current prospects are indeed not optimistic!" Even if you are lucky enough to resist the attack of the brute bull this time, you may die at the hands of that kind of creature next time! ”

Li Ran said slowly, but in the end, it was also very polite, but the guards and villagers in the surrounding villages could not find a reason to refute, and even the village chief Morga's hands holding the cane became tighter and tighter, he understood that what Li Ran said was true, and he understood the true meaning of his hidden words, but he couldn't find any reason to shirk, his father, the previous village chief had told him: A village without development is very dangerous.

What's more, during this period of time, he found through the reports from the guards who went out hunting that the number of wild creatures around him was increasing, the range of activities was getting bigger and bigger, and even the behavior was becoming more and more rampant, which was what really worried him. So much so that in this bull attack, he was only suspicious of these people who suddenly appeared, and he couldn't confirm whether they were deliberately attracted by them.

For Morga, the old village chief who also traveled around the world when he was young, in fact, in his heart, he has always regarded this beast rampant, and the war-torn world is like an ocean, and their small village is like a small boat on this infinite ocean, and any small wave will make them have the possibility of sinking forever. And as a helmsman, he can only control this small boat and try to avoid the waves, but now there is a person, from his eyes, it can be seen that he wants to replace him to strengthen this small boat, so that this small boat has the ability to resist the big waves, should he really let go? 《》
