A massive head emerged from the depths of the woods, a thick cuticle covering the entire head, and two large round bone plates raised high beneath the rough skin, protecting it like armor.

The front of its head has sharp horns, sharper than a spear.

The most terrifying thing is its height, which is more than twenty meters by sight.

The dark yellow eyes are inlaid with palpitating vertical pupils. Like a chameleon, it has an endoscopic angular muscle, which can manipulate the eyeball to look around at a flexible speed, 180 degrees without dead angles, and both eyes can rotate in different directions at the same time, and the search frequency and speed change at the same time.

"Let's go, let's get out of here." This time Tianhao was not stubborn, he gave the order as quickly as he could.

It was a triceratops.

Why did the long-extinct dinosaurs appear here?

Tianhao was not a biological expert, and there were no living triceratops in his time. However, after a brief observation, he discovered that the giant beast was very different from the fossils he remembered seeing in museums.

The larger size and the length of its legs and feet are not as short and thick, which means that it can run faster than expected.

It may have been a jogger among the ancient dinosaurs, but for the Northland barbarians, who are two meters seven tall, the huge size fills the speed shortcoming, and it can reach the distance that humans desperately want with one step.

Two sharp fangs protrude from its lower lip and grow upwards. This was what prompted Tianhao to quickly order to leave. That means that Triceratops, which was supposed to be a herbivore, most likely changed its inherent eating habits and became interested in flesh and blood.

Rushed out of the distance in one breath, crossed the ridge at an extremely high speed, stopped at the bottom of the gentle slope, turned around and glanced at the black peaks in the distance that seemed to plunge straight into the sky, Tianhao, who was panting heavily, felt that his legs were weak, his body fell backwards uncontrollably, and slowly fell to the ground.

Everyone was out of breath. Luckily, the wind blew this way, and the mutant triceratops didn't notice their presence.

Tianmad clenched the battle axe in his hand, too hard, and his arms and shoulders trembled all the time. He crawled to Tianhao's side, his eyes widened in the heavy breathing: "Third child, that ...... What kind of monster is that? ”

Tianhao shook his head, with a wry smile on his face: "I don't know." ”

In fact, it was not the triceratops that really scared him, but something else.

When he climbed to the top of the mountain, Tianhao felt as if he had stepped on something, but Tianfeng's shouting diverted his attention, and he could only instinctively glance down at his feet when he turned to run away.

There was a square mostly hidden in dirt and rubble, leaving only an exposed right angle. There is a "pot lid" that protrudes from the inside and outside of the soil. If there were no remnants of the memory of the civilized era, Tianhao would not have been able to judge that it was a home TV satellite receiving antenna.

It wasn't the top of a hill, it was the top of a building.

He saw something else familiar.

A car.

It's old, it's broken, the hood is long gone, it's unrecognizable. A huge tree that can only be hugged by two people grows from the bottom of the car, stretching the entire chassis open, and the body full of rust and dirt cracks in the middle of the car, like two lips that cannot be closed, silently telling the history of the past.

This is a world that has been destroyed.

Leaving temporarily is not a cowardice, but a last resort.

Tianhao knows very well that what he needs most now is time.

I can get more fusion points to strengthen myself.

I won't give up and I'll come back.

……

Red Hoof City, the City Lord's Mansion.

The merchant Jin Sheng knelt on the floor of the spacious inner hall, like a docile watchdog, not daring to raise his head, and looked at the ground in front of him with the most humble gesture.

"The business of Panshizhai has not grown much. The total amount of each transaction is maintained at around ninety silver coins. But they traded a wide variety of goods: cured venison, dried fish, coarse salt, wheat flour...... Dried apples are a new product that appeared last month, but there are not many of them. ”

The city lord Niu Tong sat on a chair, the rough round wooden table was not made of any craftsmanship, and the surface was covered with a layer of lacquer, but it had not been polished, and it was a little prickly to the touch. He picked up a piece of dried apple from his plate, turned it over and looked at it for a few seconds, turned it around and stuffed it into his mouth, and said as he chewed, "It tastes good, it's delicious." ”

Great Wizard Wu Yuan sat opposite, his focus was obviously different from Niu Tong's focus with a calm expression, and his gaze stayed on Jin Sheng, without the slightest deviation: "Go on, what else?" ”

Jin Sheng's body was less bent than just now, and his tone became more humble: "The most purchased goods in Panshizhai every time are cloth, whether it is cotton cloth or linen. ”

Niu Tong had an unchewed dried apple in his mouth, and interjected with a smile: "Since they want it, give it to them." How much can a small village of a few hundred people get? ”

Wu Yuan raised his hand and stroked the long hair that fell from his forehead: "Did they give money?" ”

He then corrected what he had just said: "Did they use metal money in their transactions?" ”

"Nope." Jin Sheng replied in the affirmative: "I used it in the first few transactions, and then it was gone." They always ask for cloth, which exceeds the total value of the goods I have purchased from Panshizhai. As soon as it comes and goes, business becomes an exchange. ”

Wu Yuan's fingers lightly tapped the table, and said thoughtfully: "In other words, they don't have any extra money in their hands." ”

Niu Tong was a little dissatisfied with Wu Yuan's attitude. He took a sip of warm tea from the mouthful of food in his mouth, and touched his stomach quite contentedly: "This is an unknown thing!" There are so many things in Panshizhai, but they are not worth a few dollars. Ah Yuan, to reach the level you said, you have to at least increase the amount of material produced by that village several times. ”

Wu Yuan glanced at Niu Tong calmly and did not argue. He flipped through the stack of animal skins that he had in his hand, and said to Jin Sheng in an indifferent voice: "Let's talk about the situation of the next stockade." ”

On each hide, there is a record of the commodity trading of a stockade in the last three months.

The surplus of Zhangpu Village is fifteen silver coins.

The surplus of Songfeng Village is two hundred and thirty-three silver coins.

The surplus of the cottage was forty-seven silver coins......

This is a ledger, but the way it is recorded is very different from that of civilized times. The recorded figures are not the profit status of Jin Sheng's side, but the profit of each village converted into money after the transaction.

Half an hour later, a courteous Jin Sheng withdrew from the room.

"Overall, it's better than we thought." Wu Yuan picked up the animal skin placed on the top layer and handed it to Niu Tong, who was sitting opposite: "Songfeng Village actually has a profit of more than two hundred silver coins. Hehe, Jensen, this guy is more profitable than I thought. ”

Jensen is the leader of Songfeng Village.

Niu Tong didn't mean to reach out to pick up the animal skin, the dried apple tasted good, and he simply dragged the whole plate in front of him: "I've already read the account book." All the villages have surpluses, except for the Rock Village, which is an exception. ”

The relaxed look on Wu Yuan's face slowly disappeared, replaced by a trace of solemnity: "Yes! For months, they didn't even save a penny. ”
