Chapter 42: The Unexpected Visitor

It took Pan Long a morning to build a new camp.

The new camp was built on a relatively gentle hillside, surrounded by solid stones, so you didn't have to worry about getting stuck.

He set up the tent against the cliff, and in order to prevent the rocks from falling overhead, he also went to clean up the rubble above, and even the entire mountain was cut off by him about two meters high.

Now his body is heavy and heavy, but its strength and hardness are also incredible. The solid rock was like a soft, dry clod of earth underneath his fist, and with a little force it could shatter a large chunk.

If necessary, he could even spend a few days completely flattening the entire peak and making a large clearing.

Of course, this is not necessary.

After picking up the cliffs, sweeping the "beds", setting up tents, and digging a fire pit in the ground, the camp was completed.

The terrain is not very high, the wind is not too strong, and the climate is not too cold. But the terrain is very open, and at a glance, you can see far away.

What satisfied Pan Long the most was that he could see a valley in the distance from here.

It was a gap in the mountains, and although it had long been occupied by yellow sand and vegetation, there were still traces of a fortress faintly visible. Years ago, it should have been an important pass to hold the mountain line, separating the desert from the forest.

Naturally, he didn't plan to go to the fortress for archaeology, he was interested in whether people from this world would come to archaeology and be seen by him?

Although he is not interested in what kind of world this is, if he can meet some people in this world, understand some things in this world, and then judge the origin of this world, he can pick up a set of character panels for nothing.

Isn't it beautiful?

After everything was ready, Pan Long resumed his boring cultivation life.

In addition to eating, sleeping and basic physical exercise every day, it is to concentrate on exercising and refining the power of the earth in the body.

This is a water mill, and there is no urgency.

The peaceful days passed quickly, three or four days in the blink of an eye.

One evening, he was exercising and stretching his muscles at the camp when he suddenly noticed smoke rising from the ruins of the fortress.

"Water vapor and earth shaking?"

He stood still and looked at it carefully for a while, and finally determined that it was supposed to be cooking smoke.

This made him very happy.

If there is cooking smoke, it naturally means that there are people, after all, there should be no animals in the world that can specialize in lighting a fire to eat cooked food.

He had the heart to go now, but when he looked at the sky, he found that it was probably too late. I could only take a few pieces of wood, pour some water, and put them in the fire.

When the wet wood met the flames, a thick black plume of smoke soon rose into the sky.

This puff of black smoke is still noticeable under the evening sky, and should be visible as long as someone is looking around.

After doing this, Pan Long sat down to rest, but he couldn't settle down.

Who the hell is over there?

What are they here for?

What kind of world is this?

One problem after another emerged, like countless cats of various colors holding sports meetings in his heart, chasing and meowing.

A strong curiosity drove him, making it difficult for him to rest.

After waiting patiently for a while, he was surprised to see a thick black plume of smoke rising from the other side.

Apparently, the other party saw him and responded.

"Great!" he jumped to his feet, quickly packed his things, and was about to set off, thinking about it, but then changed direction and headed down the other side of the desert.

It's not a good idea to travel through the forest at night, and you can get lost if you're not careful.

In contrast, although the desert side is soft, and once the mana is exhausted, you have to return to the rocky area to rest, but at least you don't have to worry about getting lost.

Xiao Qiang's galloping skill turned on, and he leaped like a fly on the rugged hillside, and the slippery sand could not hinder his steps.

When his magic was exhausted, he lay down on the stone and rested for a while, and after recovering his magic, he began to run wildly again.

In this way, at the height of the moon, he finally arrived at the place where the fortress was ruin.

There seemed to be a lot of people living in the ruins, and he could see several places by the light of the bonfire.

But at this time, Pan Long became cautious.

People's hearts are unpredictable, be careful, there will always be no mistakes.

Because he was not careful enough, he had already suffered a big loss, and he had a lesson that he would never forget, but he didn't want to suffer again!

He packed up all his precious belongings, rested well, and when his magic was fully restored, he began to sneak in, touching it silently.

In the square of the fortress, a silver-haired woman with a small stature and black horns on either side of her head was looking in the direction of the smoke column rising from the mountain before, and was silent.

"Don't look at it, even if it's a dragon, you can't see far in such a dark night. A slightly taller woman with golden-red hair and long fox-like ears persuaded, "I'll see when it's dawn." ”

"I just care......," replied the silver-haired woman, "that there shouldn't be anyone living here." ”

"There are always exceptions in the world. For example, the rats can even live in the desert by drawing water from cacti. There's always more water here than in the desert, and there's some aboriginal people or something, isn't it weird?"

The silver-haired woman shook her head, clearly disapproving of her companion's statement.

"Aboriginal or something...... If you want to live, you won't live in the mountains. Didn't we ask them before, and they didn't even know anyone lived there. It is not suitable for ordinary people. ”

"Maybe it's some kind of martial artist who cultivates?"

The silver-haired woman raised her eyebrows: "Do you believe this?"

The companion smiled heartily: "Of course I don't believe it. ”

As he was talking, a big man wearing a windproof jacket, a black mask, and a single horn in the middle of his forehead walked over: "Both, it's time for the shift change, you should rest." I'll leave the rest of the night work to us. ”

The silver-haired woman looked at him, nodded, and walked to a campfire with the long-eared woman, opened her sleeping bag and got inside.

They were clearly veterans of wild life, and they fell asleep after only a while, and a slight snoring was heard.

And in this square, around several bonfires, there are many people who are sleeping soundly.

The men were clearly divided into two groups, one dressed differently and carrying little luggage, and the other dressed in white robes with a large pile of bits and pieces.

It can be seen that they belong to two groups.

In the corner of the square, there were more than a dozen camels kneeling. One by one, as if they had had their legs cut off, they lay motionless on the ground, sleeping. One of the camels had a particularly exaggerated sleeping position, lying on the ground, not to mention, and its body was twisted into an angle that made people suspect that it was going to break a bone, and I didn't know if it would hurt my neck when I woke up.

The tall man in the black mask didn't pay any attention to the camels, but looked at a few people next to another campfire.

A little blond man, almost his whole body stuffed into his sleeping bag, his mouth was still "huh-ha-ha-ha-", and he didn't know if it was snoring or sleeping.

A tall man with a head like a snake lizard did not use a sleeping bag, but slept leaning on a pile of luggage. Even when he fell asleep, he held a black longbow tightly in his hand, believing that if there was any disturbance, he would immediately get up and shoot the bow and arrow.

A pink-haired man clumped himself up, with long, drooping ears over his face, unable to see age, gender, and physiognomy clearly.

Coupled with the two people who had just changed shifts and went to sleep, their group of six people was the key to this operation.

"Well, I don't know if I can find valuable information...... The ancient Iron Capital, one of the original psionic disaster sites. Is there really a clue to the psychic infection? The soothsayer from the North Sea...... Is she really reliable?"

"I'm just a low-level operator, it's just a meat shield to provide protection for everyone or something, this kind of thing to lead the team and use your brains is not suitable for me at all! What is the 'doctor' thinking, why should I be appointed to lead the team?"

He grumbled under his breath, even though the mask hid his expression, you could imagine how helpless he was.

And at the edge of the square, Pan Long, who had just sneaked in, was staring at this group of people with wide eyes.

Isn't this group of people the characters in the mobile game that has been jumping for three years?it!The fragments of the Classic of Mountains and Seas will open not only console games, computer games, VR games, and even mobile games?Will there be even desktop games next?...... )
