Chapter 31: Monster Spaceship
At night, Qin Guan carried a backpack of water and food on his back and entered the ancient city of Shahai.
He wandered around the city to see if there were any easy tasks to take, but he still found nothing.
But after walking around the circle, he found that although the ancient kingdom of Shahai was called a country, there was only one city, which was divided into an inner city and an outer city, and the inner city was where kings, priests, nobles, and ministers lived, and he could not enter it.
The outer city was inhabited by ordinary residents and merchants, as well as many merchants.
He went around and around and came to the East and West Inn, where he spent 20 silver coins and had a full meal, and there were 80 silver coins left in the sheepskin money bag.
After counting the silver coins at the counter, he tried to ask the shopkeeper for the details of the three tasks.
The shopkeeper and Xiao Er originally seemed to have never known him, and when he heard him mention the task, he immediately changed his attitude, and said with a smile on his face: "Qinguan warriors, if you can successfully suppress the bandits and eliminate harm for the people, the merchants and the people in the city will definitely thank you!" ”
Qin Guan knew that this was all a pre-written dialogue, so he didn't take it seriously, and asked directly: "I want to inquire, they are all bandits, why are they divided into horse bandits and sand bandits?" Aren't they the same thing? A horseback ride? A riding sand sculpture? ”
The innkeeper: "The horse bandits are traditional bandits, and the sand bandits are a new type of bandits that have appeared recently, so in order to distinguish them, the new bandits have been given new names." ”
"A new type of bandit?" Qin Guan was a little confused, and there was anyone who described the bandits like this?
"Please ask, which group of bandits has more people and which one is more harmful?"
The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes: "I rarely go out of the city, I have not seen bandits with my own eyes, and I heard from those merchants who escaped alive that horse bandits are wandering around and robbing, trying to make money and kill people; The sand bandits seem to be better, only blocking the road and robbing, mainly robbing money, and occasionally hurting people's lives. ”
"Oh." Qin Guan asked again: "What kind of monster is the sand monster?" ”
"The sand monster is a behemoth, entrenched in the poplar forest, it looks very peculiar, has a hard carapace, and can also spell, can release a spell like lightning, hurt passers-by, but if you don't take the initiative to provoke it, walk around it from afar, it won't come out and chase people to bite."
Qin Guan: "So, it discharges and hurts people, but it doesn't eat people?" ”
Shopkeeper: "Yes." That's all I know. ”
Qin Guan: "Which task is the easiest and easiest to do?" ”
The shopkeeper thought for a moment: "I heard that the sand monster will not take the initiative to attack, you can go and take a look; Sand bandits also do not take pleasure in killing, and when they meet, they have a better chance of surviving; Horse bandits are the most ferocious. That's all I know. ”
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Qin Guan felt that this information was quite useful.
The shopkeeper said, "Qinguan warriors, are you going to set off now?" ”
"Yes."
"Great, then the Chamber of Commerce can lend you a horse, a knife, and a piece of armor, and I wish you success in your horse and success in suppressing the bandits."
After speaking, the shopkeeper turned around, took out an ordinary knife and an old cloth armor from behind the counter, and handed them to Qin Guan: "The horse has been prepared at the door of the inn." ”
Qin Guan took the iron knife, put the old cloth armor on his body, and walked out of the inn, and sure enough, there was a horse standing at the door of the inn, boredom tossing its hooves, and gnawing on the wooden pillar with its head sideways.
Let's go!
Qin Guan pulled the reins of the horse, held it firmly in his hand, and made a chic action of turning over the horse, and then, when the action was halfway done, he finally took a little effort to slowly climb onto the horse's back......
The footage in the TV series is really deceiving, but fortunately there are no real people around~~.
The first time I rode a real horse, I was really not used to it, several times I almost turned my head down, Qin Guan leaned back and rode the yellow Puma out of the city, and I didn't go far, I sweated in the palm of my hand, but fortunately, I quickly found the skill, and the more I rode, the easier it is.
He rode a horse and straddled a knife, walked on the endless Gobi Desert outside the city, and went straight to the poplar forest more than 30 miles to the northwest.
Do the simplest tasks first.
After more than an hour, Qin Guan finally arrived outside the poplar forest, he tied his horse to a half-bald poplar trunk, took a knife, and walked lightly into the poplar forest.
The woods are very sparse, and it is not easy to hide in them.
After a few steps, he had already seen the "sand monster" entrenched in the woods.
A behemoth!
Qin Guan was immediately stunned and froze in place.
The monster in the woods, three or four stories tall, was bigger than an airplane on Earth, and covered its body with a layer of sand to cover it up, but part of it was blown off by the wind, revealing a dark silver shell with a metallic sheen.
What the hell is this......
Qin Guan was stunned for a few seconds, this is not a sand monster at all, this is special, is it a spaceship!
And it seems to be an interstellar ship! Because looking at the appearance of this spaceship, it is obviously not human technology!
He was suddenly in a messy mood.
I mustered up the courage to fight the monster all the way, thinking that I would fight it with a broken knife for 300 rounds, but you gave me a big spaceship?
Ever seen anyone stupid enough to slash a spaceship with a knife?
And what does the sand monster say will cast lightning spells...... Qin Guan finally realized that it was not a spell at all, it should be that the spaceship had turned on the warning electromagnetic field.
Is it an interstellar high civilization prank? Or are the people of the ancient country of Shahai stupid?
Qin Guan didn't dare to move forward rashly.
Maybe...... In the history of the blue planet, have aliens really visited?
So in this replica map, the real events of ancient times are restored?
It's just that the people of the ancient country of the ancient sand sea didn't know that this was an alien spaceship, and they called it a sand monster that could cast lightning spells.
So in the annals of the ancient kingdom of the Sand Sea, in a corner, what is recorded in a few words must be the sand monster, not the ironclad spaceship.
So, how did an alien advanced civilization know such a niche historical fact?
I wonder who drove the ship away in the end in real history, or if it flew away on its own?
Since it is a spaceship, it means that there is alien life in or near the spaceship.
They may be lost in the interstellar world, or they may have run out of energy, or they may have broken parts of the ship, so they can only make a forced landing in this deserted place.
Qin thought about it, since it was an alien civilization, there were two possibilities:
One, the other party is a kind alien life capable of peaceful communication with humans;
Second, according to Mr. Liu's theory of the dark forest, if the other party is an alien who cannot communicate, once he gets close, his life is in danger.
Of course, he didn't dare to take this risk, and he didn't dare to test his life lightly.
I'm still very weak, and the aliens are sitting in the spaceship, and if they want to kill themselves, it's probably just a matter of stretching out a finger and pressing a button...... It's so easy, a lightning bolt comes over, and it turns into coke.
Then buried in this sand, it gradually turned into nourishment, nourishing this inconspicuous land and the poplar growing on it~~.
What's going on with this sudden poetry of death?
Qin Guan hesitated for a while while observing outside the woods, and decided to change his route and go to test the sand bandit mission first.
Because the shopkeeper of the East and West Inn said that sand bandits would not kill people easily.
