Chapter 43: The Yellow Leaf Planet

Yellow leaf star, diameter of 9,000 kilometers, the ocean occupies three percent of the area, there is a narrow passage between the three continents connected, looking down from space, yellow is the main color of the planet, at the junction of the ocean and the continent, the edge of the continent is like an inlaid gold edge, shining in the sea water.

The forest here is also yellowish, almost all the leaves of the plants are yellow, and only at the bottom of the forest can you find some grasses, shrubs, flowers of other colors. The countries on the continent did not have gunpowder guns, but they had powerful bows and arrows, the pottery industry was developed, and bartering was common in commercial transactions.

I appeared at the edge of a small village with two guardsmen, armed with knives and guns similar to those of local hunters, and killed an animal that resembled a deer, and carried it into the village.

"Stop, who are you, what are you doing in the village?" At the intersection of the village, he was stopped by two teenagers armed with wooden sticks.

"We are passing hunters, and we want to meet your village chief, and this is a gift we have brought." I pointed at my prey with one hand.

"Okay, I'll take you to the village chief."

A few minutes later, we met the village chief, and the prey turned into dinner, and the village chief also brought out his home-brewed wine to drink with me, and the two sides chatted. There are nearly 400 people in the village, the main grain is wheat, two crops a year, basically enough to eat, every year to hand over a certain amount of grain to the town baron, as well as fur, preferably a gold leaf, this year there are still a few furs, so these days all the young and middle-aged people in the village go to the mountains to hunt.

"Village chief, there are so many beasts in the forest, is it not enough to collect the fur to be handed in in a year?" I asked curiously.

"The guests don't know, it's not easy to catch those beasts with fur, either they are fast, or they are extremely fierce, it's difficult." The village chief sighed.

At this time, the village was lively, and it turned out that the hunters had returned, and the village chief took me to watch. I saw a lot of prey piled up in the clearing, but I saw that the villagers were not happy, and I asked the village chief to find out that this time I had not hunted a beast with good fur, and a tiger had injured two people. I took a look at the knives and guns they used, and found that they were all made of copper, the texture was very soft, and they really couldn't hurt them against large prey, only the bow and arrow were good, and there was anesthetic on the arrow, as long as the prey was shot, it could basically be taken.

The next day, I followed the hunters up the mountain, after walking dozens of miles of mountain roads, only a dozen pheasants were hit, at noon, everyone had just sat down to rest, suddenly a gust of wind struck, only to see a snake head bigger than the basin swallowing snake letters, rushing towards us.

"Ding, ding..." The hunters' bows and arrows only left white spots on the scales of the giant snake, which angered the giant snake, opened its mouth, and bit one of the hunters, and the two members of the team with me drew their swords, got up and jumped, one pierced the snake's eyes, and the other cut a hole in the snake's neck, and the snake's blood splattered out, and the giant snake was hit hard, felt that his life was threatened, and turned and ran. I ordered two of my team members to chase after him, and then asked the hunters to follow, and after a while, we caught up with the serpent, and the two team members had already killed it.

"Oh..." The hunters cheered, then bowed to us in gratitude for the serpent's skin, which would make the whole village comfortable for a year. At this time, there was a faint fishy smell wafting in the air, and the satellites in space sent me a message saying that there was a snake valley ten kilometers away from us, which was full of giant snakes, several of which were up to 100 meters long, and asked us to retreat immediately, otherwise they would attack and retaliate after smelling the smell of their kind being killed. After receiving the information, I asked the hunter to take the giant snake back to the village first, and then go deep into the forest to explore the snake valley, the leading hunter refused to live or die, afraid that we would get lost in the mountains, and must stay as a guide, I couldn't dissuade at a glance, so I had to leave five hunters to follow us, and the others went back to the village.

The ten-kilometer mountain road was not easy to walk, and when we reached the outskirts of the Snake Valley, the sun was about to set, and when we crossed a hillside and came to the top of a cliff, the hunter beside us pointed to a golden forest in front of us and said excitedly:

"The golden-leafed tree, it's the gold-leafed tree, we found the golden-leafed tree, and we made a fortune······"

"Shut up, look what's down your feet." The leading hunter scolded.

Everyone looked down and was shocked to see hundreds of giant snakes slowly wriggling in the valley below, as well as countless small snakes, and the golden-leaved tree happened to be in their territory. The gold-leaf tree is a unique tree here, its leaves are the main currency of all countries on the mainland, each piece is about the same size as the palm of a human hand, the village where the hunters are located only needs to pay a gold leaf every year to offset the annual tax, but there are very few gold-leaf trees, I heard that there are only a few gold-leaf trees in the forbidden land of the palace, and a special person will be sent to pick some every year, and send them to the ministers for use, which is equivalent to wages.

I visually measured the height of the golden-leaved tree, which was about 180 meters high, and the main trunk had no branches, but when it reached the top, it looked like an open umbrella, and the golden leaves grew on the branches in a patchwork manner, shining dazzlingly in the setting sun. I checked the information, and there seem to be a lot of such trees on this planet, but they are all deep in the forest, and it is really not easy for ordinary people to find it.

After returning to the village the next day, I said goodbye to the villagers, and before leaving, I took out ten gold leaves and quietly stuffed them into the hands of the village chief, telling him that he could save the village in case of emergencies in the coming year.

"Benefactor, safe journey!" The village chief muttered to himself.
