Hundreds of kilometers away from the Daxue Mountain, the terrain and climate are completely different. Bai Zhongchu took the route to the south, and if it went east, it would be an open grassland, because the grassland was active with dragons and wolves, which were also a kind of pseudo-dragons, and were difficult for humans to deal with, so human territory was generally far away from the grassland.www.biquge.info

To the south of the Daisetsuzan Mountains is also a hilly valley area that is not so steep, and the rivers that originate from the Daisetsuzan Mountains flow through here, splitting some mountain ranges, leaving some riverside plains with considerable agricultural potential, and some human territories have also emerged here.

Zero, who was sitting on the horse, said to Bai Zhongchu with some resentment: "Although I am the first swarm empress with my own consciousness, I am still dominated by some instincts of the swarm." I'm hungry right now, the swarm needs to be constantly feeding and getting DNA in order to evolve, and I don't have a place to put my hive and plant some chlorophyllum when we're on the road these days, and you're going to have to compensate me, Führer. ”

Her expression was bright, and she was blatantly seducing Bai Zhongchu, although Bai Zhongchu had a more intimate relationship with her recently, but it had not yet developed to the level of reproductive intimacy, which made Zero always pout. Although her body is no longer the body of a android, when she constructs her current body, she still refers to human beings, and it also produces the pleasure of indescribable things.

Bai Zhongchu gags on the one hand, but on the other hand, he also feels that some of the things that Zero said are not unreasonable. The swarm is terrifying because of its instinct to devour everything and destroy everything. Zero is not so easy to be dominated because she has her own consciousness, so now her emotions are more similar to hunger or unsatisfied.

That's right, the Empress of the Swarm may have a pleasure similar to that produced when a human beeps when she is reproducing a beast.

Bai Zhongchu wanted to expand his power, be able to fight the dragons, and learn more about this world, so there was no point in making a small fuss about creating a group of chicken-sized raptors. Before the hive can reproduce the base ship-level service beasts, it is actually not easy to run around, and it is more likely to stay in one place and not move. After the beasts have eaten all the creatures in a place, the hive can move to a new place.

Now, Zero is following Bai Zhongchu on the way, except for occasionally sending out service beasts to hunt, he can't use the relatively efficient service beasts such as chlorophyll beasts and photovoltaic beasts to replenish nutrients and energy for himself.

"We really need a piece of our own." Bai Zhongchu said to Zero.

At this time, Zang Mu Renqing, who was leading the way in front, returned to Malay and reported, "Teacher, there is a small village in front, which should be the jurisdiction of the nearby lord of Ranji Mountain. ”

Bai Zhongchu nodded slightly, he has also understood some things these days, that is, the name of the territory here is basically the name of the mountain, even if it is a plain area, what kind of mountain does it have, this mountain actually refers to the castle. The lords of Emodóia were similar to the lords of medieval Europe or Japan, and they built small castles, with only their own private soldiers and servants living in the castles, while the rest of the inhabitants generally set up towns or villages outside the castles.

In the event of a war between two lords, towns and villages outside the castle are often harassed by the other lords' private armies, and sometimes even destroyed. But the lords would not consider using huge manpower and material resources to build a huge city for tens of thousands of people to live in.

"Let's go to the village ahead, we've been sleeping in the open for days." Bai Zhongchu said that this life made him a little uncomfortable. Even before he became the head of state, his life was pampered, so he hunted and ate barbecue every day, threw dry food into the broth and boiled it soft before he could eat it, otherwise he couldn't gnaw on the life at all, although it was not unbearable, but after all, it was not so easy.

A group of four people came to this small village by the river at the foot of the mountain, where the cooking smoke was bursting, very secluded, and it looked like a bit of paradise.

When approaching the village, Zang Mu Renqing jumped off the horse, this is the virtue that a traveler should have, if there is a village house on the road, then when entering the village, you must not ride a horse, one is afraid of hurting people, but to show politeness.

The size of this village is not small, there may be hundreds of households, the hillside is lined with terraced fields, and the banks of the river are also full of fields, although the transportation is not very convenient, but it should be quite rich.

Seeing a person on horseback passing by, a mother-in-law carrying a bamboo basket at the head of the village beckoned: "Housheng, but you are tired from the road and want to find a place to rest?" ”

Zang Mu Renqing saluted and responded: "This mother-in-law, our brother traveled with the teacher and passed by here in a hurry, and he really wanted to find a place to settle down and ask for a hot meal. ”

The mother-in-law had a kind face and said: "Our small village is in a ravine, few people pass here, they are guests from afar, and there is a spare house in the mother-in-law's house, if you don't dislike it, you can live in the mother-in-law's house." ”

Zang Mu Renqing hurriedly thanked: "That's it, it's bothering." ”

Bai Zhongchu also led the horse, and the people in this village looked very simple and friendly. Some of the young children and teenagers in the village, who had never seen outsiders very much, were curious and a little afraid of life, and peeked at Bai Zhongshu and them there with the roots of the wall.

Zero walked out gracefully, and the mother-in-law exclaimed: "What a handsome little lady, the water is so tender." ”

Zero has the indifference when he was originally doing artificial intelligence, and after becoming the queen of the swarm, he has some taste of looking at the world, but when he was praised, Zero had a smile on his face, and said repeatedly: "Mother-in-law, you have won the award." ”

She has learned a lot of local languages with Bai Zhongchu, and her learning ability is not ordinary.

The mother-in-law praised Bai Zhongchu again and said: "This little brother is really blessed to welcome such an outstanding little lady." ”

Bai Zhongchu himself could only smile and say, "You won the prize." ”

The mother-in-law took out a tuberous rhizome like a sweet potato from the bamboo basket, stuffed it into Zero's hand, and said, "Try the sweet melon grown by the mother-in-law herself, and the sweet melon that grows in the mother-in-law's field is the largest and most delicious in the village." ”

This sweet melon is a very common local food crop, not a fruit. The grains and fruits that the Iridians brought to Earth are somewhat similar to this thing. Sweet melon has a large moisture content and high starch content, and the locals have to dry it before making flour, and there is a lot of sugar after the flour is produced. Fresh sweet melons taste like potatoes when you bite into them, but they are sweeter.

After receiving the hospitality of this enthusiastic mother-in-law, the group borrowed a night at the mother-in-law's house. Zang Mu Renqing also took out the remaining fur from hunting and gave it to her mother-in-law, but her mother-in-law and her son were adamant not to.

"We also ate the meat you brought, even if it takes advantage of you, this fur monster is valuable, take it so that other people's families laugh at it and say that our family likes to take advantage." The mother-in-law's reasons are also very strong.

Bai Zhongchu was quite emotional, this mother-in-law doesn't know any big truths, and she is not extraordinarily rich, but she is kind and kind. Compared with those educated and amazingly wealthy lords, it is many times stronger to sacrifice their people to survive and steal a living.
