(Late New Year's Day greetings, please forgive me)

(On New Year's Day, the evil guest came to the door, and he really didn't have time to be entangled...... ）

Liu An touched his chin and pondered.

There are several follow-up developments here, first, you can catch up with those fleeing adventurers and obtain local intelligence; 2. Kill these big lizards, and then catch up with the fleeing adventurers to obtain local information; 3. Kill these big lizards and don't chase those mercenaries......

He glanced at the big lizards a few times: there was a flag armor like a stegosaurus growing on its back, and no matter how painful it was, it would never be able to ride it...... Then the adventurer does not attack them with the intention of catching them as mounts, but may wear harnesses and act as animals, giving him the impression that if he does not provoke them, these lizards should have a very gentle character; Judging by the fact that they can use magic and have decent protection and power, adventurers are more likely to attack them to get their leather or magic cores or something.

It is also possible to catch and tame pets as auxiliary attacks or defenses.

But......

He didn't seem to need to do this himself, after all, none of the recruiters other than Peter were his target, and he didn't intend to treat them like his own members, if they were made dependent on him, it would be a bad thing for them in this game of survival gods, and it would hurt them.

Liu An looked at Lorrell, this girl has not completely changed from the role of the daughter of the rich and powerful, and has subconsciously become dependent on him because of the ability he has shown several times, in the words of Xueba, her estrogen has a violent chemical reaction to her male characteristics, and she is in a state of spring. If you don't remind her, the IQ is basically negative.

But he is secretly happy in his heart, Zan is also a handsome and rich man now, and he can win the heart of his sister paper just by his appearance.

Liu An looked at Mr. Thomas again, his lips squirmed a few times, as if he wanted to say something. But seeing Liu An, he didn't say anything, didn't say it - he hid himself too well as a killer, so good that he absolutely refused to do anything to expose himself, and carved this instinct into his bones, he is only suitable for being a staff member.

As for the others, they don't realize that there is an excellent opportunity in front of them to cut into this strange society.

Liu An sighed secretly: I have really become a wet nurse.

As you walk along the road, you will encounter several waves of indigenous adventurer groups of varying numbers. With the exception of a group of extremely large numbers of people, about 100 people, who appeared to be on a rampage, the other groups of indigenous adventurers were more cautious.

When it was dark, there were no people in sight, and there were no buildings in sight, so the team camped in a clearing surrounded by cacti by the side of the road, and a thorny vine could be seen in the wasteland. Large clumps are tangled together, and the stems are about the thickness of a finger. It is dried by the sun and can be collected to be used as fuel.

At this time, whether it was the original police detective or the ruffian, they were all very familiar with each other, there was no obvious barrier, they worked in pairs, and used twice the physical fitness of ordinary people. Skillfully set up camps, campfire pits, temporary toilets, sentry posts, etc.

The crossing woman Giante also does some trivial things within her ability, but she has a good eye, and she does things while out of the sight of Thomason, Lorrell and Liu An. He also talked to the other team members without a trace.

It's just that she wouldn't have thought of how inhuman Liu An's perception was, and she saw all this in her heart, and Liu An also had a new sigh for her in her heart: In one day, she not only saw that the voice of this team was on the three of us, but also had an understanding of the task objectives of the recruiters.

The strips and ruffians are very happy, and they are still staging the police and bandit family, and they are unaware of this situation.

After dinner, there was still some time left before going to bed, and everyone sat in three piles at the campfire, except for those who were on guard duty at night.

"At noon, you seem to have something to say, Mr. Thomasson"

Liu An provoked the topic.

"Well, yes, I just think we should get in touch with those few adventurers who have failed in hunting," Thomas said, looking at him and rubbing his hands together as he thought about the fire.

The light of the fire refracted the light on his lenses, making it impossible to see his eyes.

"They just failed on the hunt and are demoralized, and psychologically it is exactly when they need to be comforted, and it is only necessary to use words to do it"

"Then why didn't you say it?" Liu An hugged Lorel's waist, and the girl leaned on his arms, seemingly indifferent to the outside world.

"I found out you were looking at me...... "Thomason said uncertainly, "I think you should have your thoughts, so I didn't say it."

The voices of the two of them were undisguised, and everyone else could hear them clearly.

"You should say it...... But you are indeed a perfect facilitator......" Liu An thought that he would get along with this team for a long time, and it was too early and inappropriate to explain the "future" now, and the topic changed. "I was actually worried about two other things at that time."

"Which two?" Thomas asked with interest.

"Along the way, we didn't find any houses and farmland in the wild, you know, this is very unreasonable, human society is always expanding outward, if the settlement we assumed before really existed, then there should be many small villages around it, but so far we have not seen any signs of this, and there is not even a fork in the road on this road"

“…… Indeed, there is one more thing? Thomas showed a sudden expression, "If you don't say it, I really haven't noticed this."

Lorel, who was in Liu An's arms, opened her eyes and showed a thoughtful look.

"The indigenous adventurers we saw along the way, their clothes and equipment could not be closed, there was no uniform style at all, like a mixture of many races and nationalities, I am afraid that our destination will be an extremely chaotic and mixed place, so we must prepare in advance to avoid unnecessary trouble"

"It's ...... indeed"

Under the light of the moon in the night sky, which was dyed with a blue halo, there was no word for a night. The next day came without incident.

Lorrell woke up in Liu An's arms for the second time, full of pure happiness and joy, an emotion so strong that Liu An could feel it without any special abilities.

Get up, wash, camp, and hit the road, starting a new day's journey.

But on the road today, Lorel, Jessie, and Giante used a scarf to make themselves a face covering like an Arab woman, and wrapped their hair up. The boys lent a shirt to Giante, and all three girls covered their bodies, revealing only their two eyes.

From the perspective of pan-humans, they all belong to scarce beauty resources, in order to avoid triggering the flag of "Uncle, I want to rob a woman", they themselves do not have the per capita strength of the guardian women as a guarantee, such a cover is necessary.

The queue walked in a row on dry dirt roads, in the era of cold weapons, if the terrain was dangerous. This formation is easily cut off by ambushes, and it is divided and blocked on different sections, making it difficult to organize a counterattack.

However, there is no such risk here, firstly, the pavement of the road should be about half a meter higher than the surrounding area, and secondly, the surrounding area is very empty, and the cacti and thorny bushes on both sides of the road should be artificially clear or organized. Or the unconscious behavior of the adventurer when he goes out on an adventure, such as collecting firewood for a fire.

Liu An and Lorel walked side by side. Hand in hand.

While talking nonsense, it does not affect the speed of travel in the slightest. Lorel's appearance is very in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese, with a soft face, and he doesn't want to be behind Giante, his face is resolute, and he is full of the taste of an iron-blooded woman. Now almost everyone in the witch hunter team has mastered the breathing skills taught by Liu An. It is effective in relieving fatigue and increasing stamina, and everyone has undergone some primary reinforcement, so they can travel quickly.

Giante has also mastered this method of breathing, but she needs to be very focused. Controlling the rhythm of your breath has not become an instinct that you have become proficient in like others.

It was a trick she had learned from some pigtail-headed ruffian, and at the cost of a sweet smile at him......

Liu An's senses had actually radiated to 5 kilometers away, and he saw some very strange scenes, this place itself was in an otherworldly realm, and it was normal to have something weird.

In some of the lower earth ditches, you can occasionally see huge whale-like bones and turtle shells like hills...... It's at least sixty kilometers from the coastline, and the team of witch hunters is not slow to move now.

There are many kinds of giant bones, one is a vertebrate, a long spine with curved ribs on both sides, and on either side of the shoulder blades, there are fin-like claws, which are supposed to be whale-like sea creatures.

The other is a typical fish bone, with a spine that is not as long as that of a whale, and slender bone spurs growing on the upper and lower sides.

If you extend your spiritual power underground, you can see things like snail shells and small fish bones in the soil.

Is it frequent tsunamis? With this kind of flat terrain, it is easy for a tsunami to rush out hundreds of miles, right? Or is the sea level falling and the land rising? But no matter which one it is, it can be explained that there is no trace of human settlement along the way.

The so-called Wangshan ran a dead horse, from noon when I saw the white figure of Tucheng from a distance, until about eight o'clock in the evening, I finally came to this Tucheng standing in the wilderness.

At night, the earthen castle looks brilliantly lit, and even the white earthen walls seem to be faintly radiating light.

It wasn't an illusion, it was an actual existence, an air barrier that kept the dust of the desert out of the air, and the air in the city seemed to be washed with seawater.

Of course, this kind of service is not without a price, the soldiers guarding the gate charged a poll tax of 10 liels per person, and everyone does not have the currency of this world at present, Liu An took out the spar obtained from the sea beast, but the guards gave him an answer that exceeded his expectations.

"You're kidding me, this kind of inferior magic crystal is not worth a big boy!"

Well, the above sentence is a joke, in fact, the soldiers guarding the gate are quite polite, they are wearing white robes, their shoulders, chest, etc., covered with white soft armor, wearing a round hat like a hat on their heads, and the weapons in their hands are enchanted spears with a faint glow of magic.

"Strange adventurers, don't take the rotten guards of other places to look at us. We collect a poll tax for the Dragonshaker not to satisfy personal interests, but to use it for the management and maintenance of the city, such as the [Khurwave] barrier that hangs over the city, and the magic crystals and spellcasters that consume hundreds of gold coins every day to maintain it, if you don't have coins, I can introduce you to the general merchantmen in the city. And you won't be charged anything."

“……”

, there is no such scene in the most harmonious and humanistic cartoon made up by Nima Neon Man, right?

I don't have to worry about the safety of the city after entering the city.

Tucheng is a city that never sleeps, and soon, a soldier led a merchant to the entrance of the city gate, this brown-skinned merchant dressed like Avanti, also with a mustache and a curly beard with an upturned chin, after carefully appraising the magic crystal that Liu An took out, gave a price of 84 gold coins.

"High-quality sea devil shark spar, the extraction technique is quite perfect. And no more than five days, the yuan can be preserved in good condition"

The captain of the guard took it and gave him a brief look and nodded.

"Yes, the price of Riliti is very reasonable"

After deducting the poll tax for entering the city, the captain of the guard briefly said a few words about the laws and common sense of the city, and then let everyone into the city.

This is a world different from the chaotic situation in the previous world, not to mention Giante and the recruiters, even Liu An was amazed by this five-star city gate service.

Do you want to be so high-end? This completely refuted previous speculation......

The merchant named Riliti did not leave immediately. Instead, he summoned a giant man who was about the same height as Yao Ming, but whose width could fit five Yao Ming, to follow him. Started talking to Thomason.

"Friend, it's the first time you've come to Tucheng, right? It's getting so late, would you like me to introduce you to a cheap and affordable hotel? But I'm a merchant, not a city guard with strict laws, so how about you paying me a meagre ten liels?" It's much safer than asking for it with your eyes darkened. At least my reputation is still good here, and if you find that you are not satisfied, you can find me by mentioning this name."

He regarded Thomas as the leader of this team, and Thomas subconsciously looked at Liu An, and Liu An nodded at him. Then he looked at the giant man with interest.

Liliti glanced at Liu An thoughtfully.

"Well, it's a coincidence, my life creed happens to be that there is no free lunch in the world, and by extension, the more free things are, the more vigilant you need to be, I will pay you twenty liels, in addition to the hotel, you have to tell us some places in this city that need attention, what the officer said just now is too simple, I don't want to break the law here, it looks quite bad"

Thomas stroked his fingers over the beard on his lips and responded to Rirriti's temptation with the tone and vocabulary characteristic of intellectuals.

Thomason's performance made Riliti a little puzzled, his initial performance just now was definitely the first reaction of not being good at giving orders, but being able to change roles so quickly shows that this old guy is not a simple person.

"The Pollit Elf Forest, where the meat of the hand-grabbed poise (a spiny dolphin, imaginable porcupine) is very distinctive, and the ale is a good product made by the elder Pollitt himself, and the price is affordable and sufficient......"

……

Ririti's bodyguard was wearing heavy armor, a T-shaped open helmet, only revealing a rough mouth and nose, walking on the road, the vibration was similar to that of ordinary people, as if he had an unusual affinity with the earth.

The reason why Liu An is interested in him is not because of his size and size, such strong men grab a lot of people in the otherworldly world, and there are also long horns and long hairs, but these big men basically have one thing in common, and their breath basically belongs to the category of human beings.

The giant man in front of him, he exuded a completely human aura, but like a magical element, the feeling of a magical element related to the earth, which made Liu An extremely curious.

Itching, he broke the law he had set for himself - he didn't have any discipline in the first place, and he didn't do less to slap himself in the mouth, released a trace of mental power, passed through the iron armor, and made a full-body scan of the giant man, of course, the position of the crotch, he made a mosaic of himself, which is something that does not belong to human beings at all.

The giant man's whole body is covered with a layer of skin like dry and cracked yellow earth, if you describe it vividly, it seems to be a five-fold magnified rock hero in "Fantastic Four"? Graeme, or the mountain giant in World of Warcraft, which is five times smaller.

Wow, another strange humanoid race, the Stone Humans?

"Knock, knock"

Liu An tapped his armor with his hand, feeling that his skin and armor fit together perfectly, replacing the role of the lining, which can better absorb impact and damage, demonstrating that the combination of skin and steel armor far exceeds the effect of 1+1, and the magic resistance of this giant man itself is not low, and he can naturally immune to some negative and control magic.

The stone man also looked at the little bean under his feet in surprise-compared to him, Liu An was indeed as small as a bean ding, and the two taps just now could actually make his skin feel obvious...... You must know that a strong adult human will not feel anything if he smashes any part of his body with a hammer.

He couldn't help but look at Liu An a few more times, his mind was simple but it didn't mean that his IQ was low, from this simple contact, he knew that the harm of this Douding boy in front of him was much greater than that of most people in this city.

Although Riliti didn't have a bad heart, he must be reminded later.

The stone man thought to himself. (To be continued......)
