Bai Qi regained consciousness from the familiar darkness, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the smoky, blackened, rough roof.

The high roofs and huge beams all look rough and sturdy.

He sat up with a grunt and looked around, this is a large house of hundreds of square meters, there is a square fire pit in the center of the house, in the fire pit, a few remaining pieces of firewood are still emitting a dark red light, slowly emitting green smoke, a straw rope hangs from the beam of the house, the end of the straw rope is tied to a wooden structure, and a clay pot is hung on the wooden structure, and a black and viscous juice is slowly rolling in the clay pot.

There were several wooden piers around the firepit, and Bai Qi was lying on a large black bed not far from the firepit, the bed board of the big bed was made of several independent large wooden planks, and with his movements, the wooden planks rattled.

The bed board was covered with thick unknown animal skins, and on the animal skins were covered with sackcloth, which I don't know how long it had not been washed, and it was black and greasy.

On the wall inside the bed hung a large, crude bow.

There was nothing else in this spacious room but these things.

Bai Qi jumped out of bed and walked towards the door of the house.

He tried to pull the door, but the rough door didn't move, and he received a system prompt at the same time.

"The world of this mission will open in three minutes, so please be ready."

Bai Qi stood in front of the door and waited quietly, and when there were only ten seconds left in the countdown to the start of the mission, he took out a scroll with a blue glow from the storage space.

When the countdown was over, Bai Qi unfolded the scroll, and a faint light swept over him, and his figure disappeared without a trace.

The gate opened without wind, and a breeze drifted out of the gate.

Bai Qi was using a scroll of the second-level spell "Stealth Technique" just now, which he had purchased in the auction house in order to get rid of the tiger at the beginning of the mission.

This one-off spell scroll costs up to two blue evolution crystals plus 20,000 survival points, but it's really worth the price.

This is not an ordinary "invisibility" scroll, it has been specially processed by mages who are proficient in scroll transcription auxiliary skills, and only needs 25 intelligence points to use, and there are no class restrictions.

As a second-level spell, after using the invisibility technique, even a professional with more than fifty perception points will not be able to see through it, and the invisibility time can last for a full five minutes.

Bai Qi walked out of the door incognito, and closed the door with his backhand, he was not in a hurry to leave, but stood in place and observed.

At this time, he was standing on the side of a street seven or eight meters wide, and on both sides of the street was crudely built of rough benzene logs and stones, just behind him.

At this time, the doors of the room kept opening, and the space soldiers walked out one by one.

Bai Qi soon saw a familiar figure, he was strong and burly like a lion, wearing a set of steel armor that Bai Qi was familiar with, which was the "Royal Guard" heavy armor.

Beneath the heavily armored and hideous helmet was a face full of fortitude, with a pair of green eyes that were deep and cold.

Although this face has been systematically corrected, Bai Qi, who has already studied the tiger's face thoroughly through the information of the old captain, still recognized this person as the tiger at a glance.

The tiger walked out of the room and glanced around for the first time, needless to say, he was looking for Bai Qi's figure.

Bai Qi didn't dare to look more, and took advantage of the sound of the door opening from time to time, and quickly left along the street in the opposite direction to the tiger.

After walking about two or three hundred meters along the street, an intersection appeared in front of Bai Qi, a road that seemed to be a little sloping, and the narrow street he was walking on now was at the crossroads.

Bai Qi reached the crossroads, and he found that the sloping street was more than twice as wide as the narrow street he had just walked, and in the upward direction of the sloping street led to an open square, in the middle of which was a huge stone building, and at the other end of the street was a rudimentary stone wall and a wooden gate.

Bai Qi turned around and walked downhill.

Walking up this wide street, the number of indigenous people gradually increased along the way.

These natives were clearly divided into two groups, one wearing thick fur and brightly colored linen clothes, with ruddy complexions, confident expressions, and high heads.

The other group of people, dressed in rags and with vegetables, walked on the road and hunched over, with a humble demeanor, deliberately avoiding the former group of people.

These two completely different people reminded Bai Qi of the era of the earth city-state, two completely different terms, "citizen" and "slave".

Bai Qi quickly withdrew his gaze from the natives beside him, the invisibility scroll lasted for a limited time, and he had to act quickly.

Walking to the city gate, Bai Qi found that the city's city walls, which seemed to be very simple from a distance, were actually made of hundreds of catties of boulders, with a height of more than ten meters and a thickness of more than three meters, which was very strong.

The double gates were made of foot-thick logs connected side by side, the lower ends of which were cut into a sharp cone and hinged high above the gates.

It is conceivable that in the event of a surprise attack, the guards only need to cut the noose, and the two gates will fall with a bang, and the lower spire will be deeply inserted into the earth below, sealing the gate completely.

At the gates and on the walls stood a number of indigenous warriors, who did not look like they were disciplined, but wore very rough leather armor, with simple bronze armor hanging from some key parts, and large pieces of skin exposed.

However, no space soldier would provoke these loose-looking warriors lightly.

The warriors were nearly two meters tall on average, with rugged faces and rough skin that made it difficult to determine their age, their arms and thighs exposed outside their armor, all of which were muscular, thick and powerful, and they held in their hands a simple and thick bronze round shield, and heavy spears made of bronze throughout. What's even more remarkable is that these weapons all have obvious magical brilliance on them.

Looking at the wide open city gate, Bai Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Occasionally, natives entered and exited the city gates, and the guards ignored them.

Bai Qi followed behind a native with a spear and a bow and arrows on his back, and walked with the same pace as him towards the city gate.

As it turned out, the stealth scroll was really worth the money, and he walked out of the city gate smoothly.

After walking a distance out of the city gate, Bai Qi looked back, and the outline of the city appeared in his sight.

It is more accurate to say that it is a city, but in fact, it should be called a town.

It was a small circular city, built on a low hill, and in the center of the city was the top of the hill, where there was a square and a majestic stone building.

The diameter of this circular city is about 2,000 to 2,500 meters, and in modern times, a town of this size can accommodate at least 100,000 people, but in this humble city, which is full of bungalows, Bai Qi estimates that the population will never exceed 20,000.

Outside the city is a large expanse of farmland as far as the eye can see, and the shadow of a village beyond.

Cities, farmlands, villages, all of which together make up this city-state.

In the fields on both sides of the road was a crop that looked a little like wheat, but was much taller than wheat, with a stalk more than one and a half meters high, and at the top of it was something nearly half a foot long, which seemed to be an ear.

Seeing that there is not much time left in the stealth scroll, and there are natives passing by on the road from time to time, if he suddenly appears at this time, it will definitely attract attention or even commotion, and maybe his whereabouts will be exposed.

When Bai Qi only had more than ten seconds left in the stealth scroll, he plunged into the field path on the side of the road.

The grains on both sides of the path were one and a half meters high, and when Bai Qi crouched down in these grains, he avoided all sight on the road.

Only when the effect of the invisibility scroll completely disappeared did Bai Qi stand up, and he walked out of the field path while pretending to lift his pants and tidy up his clothes.

Walking onto the main road, Bai Qi walked quickly in the direction away from the city.

After walking along the road for a distance, Bai Qi opened the character panel and tried to contact Adrian and Barrian, the system prompted him that neither of them was within the communication range, he took out the communicator again, and tried to contact the two, and the communicator also showed that the other party was not within the communication range.

This result is not unexpected, he and Adrian and Barian entered the mission space at a very different time, and the possibility of landing in the same city-state is very small.

Bai Qi put away the communicator, continued along the road, walked five kilometers, and came across the first village, said to be a village, in fact, it should be said to be a castle, there is a stone wall five or six meters high on the periphery of the village, and in the center of the village is a round stone fortress, around which is a circle of simple houses.

The village is located on the road, and if you want to continue you have to pass through the village, and if you want to get around the fields around the village, it is difficult to avoid the condescending gaze of the guards on the city walls.

Bai Qi didn't hesitate too much and walked straight towards the city gate.

Unless there is a city-state war, these guards will not defend against humans, not to mention that his appearance and equipment have been systematically modified, and they will not be different from other natives, and the system has also given him a reasonable identity in this world.

Sure enough, the soldiers at the entrance of the village just glanced at Bai Qi contemptuously and ignored him.

Walking into the village, Bai Qi found that the people here were divided into two distinct categories, the ragged people looked at him with awe, and the ruddy and thick-clothed people looked at him with contempt.

The number of the former is much greater than that of the latter.

Bai Qi was a little puzzled at first, but he soon realized that those contemptuous eyes were all aimed at his height.

Bai Qi's height of less than 1.7 meters is known as a third-level cripple in the real world, and in this world where the average height of human males is more than 1.9 meters, it can already be regarded as an official cripple.

Depressed, Bai Qi had to stop in the village, and he had to find out some basic information about the city-state in order to determine his location and how to meet Adrian.
