To get from Yuancheng to Yancheng, you need to cross the Yuanhe River and climb over several low peaks, as well as through a dense forest.

The more than 200-kilometer road is not long, but it is not short. But it takes at least four or five days to walk, and if you don't know the terrain, you have to take more than ten or twenty days to get to a destination. Fortunately, Lin Yue was somewhat familiar with the road from Yuancheng to Yancheng, so he could reach it quickly.

In the past few days, Lin Yue and the others have passed through many areas and seen many forces, and these forces, without exception, are all based on violence. After all, the food crisis has always been a problem that cannot be ignored, and if the mood of the masses cannot be reasonably stabilized, the only way to make them lose their emotions and obey them obediently can only be through violence.

For example, a force of more than 3,000 people on the other side of the Yuan River was maintained by a kind of violence, and once the people in the force did not listen to the words of the administrator, they were basically killed. But it is because of this deterrence of violence that the people are very compliant, so that the administrators can distribute the supplies reasonably.

The establishment of this kind of violent force is very simple, but the destruction is also very fast, once the people in the force can bear it, a little spark is enough to detonate the powder keg, and finally destroy the entire force.

Compared with Yuancheng, the people Lin Yue and the others saw on the way were really miserable, people who starved to death were everywhere, and people in some areas would cut off the meat of the dead and roast it, and the phenomenon of cannibalism was very common. And the natural law of the jungle is becoming more and more obvious, the weak can only starve to death, while some strong people can still eat to last.

When passing through the dense forest, Lin Yue can still see a lot of animals, but these animals are basically not easy to mess with. Because those weak animals were hunted by the crowd early in the morning, and now only those fierce beasts survive. Although not as exaggerated as the giant bear, there are quite a few beasts like the colorful giant tiger. Even, there are a lot of mutant animals, but each one of them is something that Lin Yue can't afford to provoke now.

Lin Yue is very confident in his own strength, but if he wants to fight the mutant alone, he will definitely lose. The reason why he was able to defeat the mutant rat man before was to first use the colorful giant tiger to grind off more than ninety percent of its energy storage acid, and then after a hard battle, he finally succeeded in killing it. And the mutant rat is still the weaker one among the mutants, it just relies on its own wisdom to lead other rat people to carry out collective activities, and the individual strength is not very strong.

And a mutant species that resembles a wolf or a tiger may not be inferior to a giant bear. Of course, it does not refer to strength, but to comprehensive strength.

In general, in such dense forests, it is very dangerous for humans to move around. But in order to survive, there are still many people who continue to pour into this forest, and the results are often the same, and batches of people are killed and eaten by wild beasts!

Only on rare occasions can a crowd succeed in killing a beast, but most of the time it takes a few hundred to kill one.

As soon as Lin Yue and the others entered this dense forest, they saw a team of hundreds of people besieging and killing a gray Maori-toothed beast. This beast has nothing to do with the animals that humans have seen before, with a huge head, a bloody mouth, huge fangs, and a body that is two meters high, and more than a dozen people are knocked away with one claw.

Lin Yue and the others who were originally passing by didn't intend to participate in this matter, but they didn't expect this gray hairy toothed beast to suddenly rush towards Lin Yue and the others.

"Goo~~~" A strange roar came from the mouth of the gray-haired toothed beast, and its slender but powerful limbs pulled a few times on the ground one after another, and instantly pounced in front of Lin Yue and the others.

"Spread out!" Lin Yue let out a loud roar, and the three of them immediately dodged to the left and right, narrowly avoiding the attack of the gray hairy toothed beast. Fortunately, it was not aimed at Lin Yue and the others, it just wanted to attack in this direction, and it didn't look back after rushing over, and left directly.

There were a lot of scars on the gray wool tooth beast, it should have been injured by the besieging crowd, and it couldn't withstand the siege of the crowd, so it ran away in the end.

"Rub, it ran away!" A boy in a green T-shirt with a wooden spear ran after the gray-haired tooth for a few steps, and when he realized that he couldn't catch up with it, he yelled, "Wardfark, don't run away from dogs!" ”

After the boy in green, a few more people came over, and one of the girls in green said to him: "Don't chase it, Shaota, even if we catch up, we won't be able to kill it." ”

When the boy named Shaota heard this, he turned his head to look at the dozens of corpses lying behind him, and sighed: "After sacrificing so many people, I still couldn't kill a beast in the end. ”

The girl in Tsing Yi also sighed, and then she turned her head and found Lin Yue and the three people not far away, and said lightly: "You only three people dare to enter the Death Forest?" ”

Because every time people enter this dense forest to hunt, they are dead, so this forest is called the Forest of Death.

Lin Yue glanced at the girl, thoughtful, and did not speak. On the contrary, Zhao Longtao showed a sunny smile and said, "That's right! ”

"What a death!" A girl in white behind the girl in Tsing Yi pouted and said, "Three people dare to enter this dead forest, I really don't even know how to write the word death." ”

The girl in Tsing Yi turned her head and glared at the girl in white, and drank: "Xue Dai, how are you talking!" ”

The girl named Xue Dai rolled her eyes at Zhao Longtao, then snorted and turned away, following the rest of her team to rescue some injured accomplices.

The girl in Tsing Yi looked at Xue Dai and shook her head, then turned her head to Zhao Longtao and said, "My name is Qing Zhao, where are you going, I saw that you were quite agile when you hid from that beast just now, are you interested in joining us to hunt beasts together?" ”

Zhao Longtao was slightly stunned, and subconsciously turned his head sideways to look at Lin Yue.

Through Zhao Longtao's subtle action, the girl in Tsing Yi named Qing Zhao instantly understood that Lin Yue was the leader of the three of them, so she set her eyes on Lin Yue and said with a smile: "Eighty percent of you are also going to Yancheng, I wonder if you have enough resources to pay tribute to Yancheng?" ”

After hearing Qing Zhao's question, Lin Yue, who was in deep thought, replied with a smile: "Indeed, we just want to go to Yancheng. ”

And Meng Wen, who was next to Lin Yue, was bored and asked softly, "If you want to enter Yancheng, you still have to pay tribute?" ”

"You can pay tribute, or you can not pay tribute!" The green-clothed boy on the side, Shao Ta Quack, laughed a few times, and said carefully: "The personnel in Yancheng are divided into three levels, namely senior members, intermediate members, and low-level members. If outsiders want to enter Yancheng, they need to attack enough resources, otherwise they can only be low-level members in Yancheng and be called like slaves; If you have enough resources to pay tribute, you can become an intermediate member and live a normal life in Yancheng; And once you contribute to Yancheng, you can become a senior member and serve as the management of Yancheng. ”

After finishing speaking, the boy in green laughed again, and then stretched out his right hand and added, "My name is Lin Shaota, please advise!" ”

Meng Wen subconsciously shook hands with him and reported his name. Then Lin Shaota stretched out his hand to Lin Yue again. Lin Yue frowned and chuckled, and finally shook hands with him.

"So, you hunted down the beasts just to get enough resources to pay tribute to Yancheng?" Zhao Longtao also shook hands with Lin Shaota, and then asked.

"Exactly!"

Zhao Longtao was slightly stunned, and then said: "Since you have the strength to be able to hunt and kill beasts, why don't you form a force by yourself, and you still have to join Yancheng?" ”

Qing Zhao shook his head and said, "It's different, even if we build a force on our own, we will only survive for a long time, and we won't live long." In this area, only by joining Yancheng can you really survive. ”

At this moment, Zhao Longtao and Meng Wen wondered even more, how capable Yancheng was, and why they had to enter Yancheng to really live.

"Because of grain growing!" Lin Shaota hurriedly said: "There are already grains planted in Yancheng, and there will be a harvest in another year and a half." This means that Yancheng has the strength of long-term development, as long as there are no accidents, there is no problem in living a slightly more stable life in Yancheng. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Longtao and Meng Wen couldn't help but look at Lin Yue again, because with Lin Yue's credit, Yuancheng was also growing grains. The seeds of Yuancheng were "accidentally discovered" by Lin Yue, but where did the grain seeds of Yancheng come from?

"I thought you were going to Yancheng, you should know these things, but I didn't expect you to know nothing." Lin Shaota said: "What, after understanding, you should be more interested in Yancheng, do you want to join our team to hunt beasts together?" ”

After Lin Yue listened to Lin Shaota's words, he suddenly smiled inexplicably and replied decisively: "Okay! ”

Zhao Longtao and Meng Wen were a little surprised when they heard Lin Yue's answer, they didn't expect Lin Yue to actually agree to them. And after Qing Zhao and Lin Shaota heard Lin Yue's answer, they smiled.

There were a total of one hundred and fifty-three people in the team of Qing Zhao and the others, and when they were besieging the beasts just now, almost twenty people died as a result, and more than forty were injured. So with the addition of Lin Yue and the others, there are only more than 130 people left.

In fact, if you want to unite to kill the beasts, only more than a hundred people are completely insufficient, and at least three or four hundred people can do it. However, one reason is that their number is only more than a hundred, that is, if they want to enter Yan City, they need to pay at least ten catties of meat per person. And like the beast just now, at most, it is nearly a thousand catties of meat, and if it is divided equally, it is only enough for the tribute of a hundred people. So it is not surprising that the number of people in a hunting party is only a hundred people.
