And just when Guo Dafu and Zhao Jie were groping for the use of those fierce beast materials to make armor, several pioneers who went to the river to fetch water found a human 'corpse' floating down the river.

You must know that before this, they had only seen all kinds of fierce beasts in this world, and originally thought that this was a world where there were no high-level intelligent lifeforms, only fierce beasts lived!

But now a human 'corpse' has suddenly been discovered, how can it not be surprising!

One of the minmen immediately went to report the discovery to the lord Guo Dafu, while the remaining two minmen tried to find a way to retrieve the human 'corpse' from the river.

By the time Guo Dafu arrived with Zhao Jie and Su Li, the human 'corpse' had been successfully salvaged, and it looked like an old man with a white beard, who looked no different from the humans of Orlan.

After Guo Dafu stepped forward to check, he found that the old man was not completely dead, and he still had a faint heartbeat.

Speaking of this river, it also seems very strange, although the river is a little turbulent, but it looks quite clear, but there are no aquatic beasts in it.

It was precisely because of this that the old human man in front of him had been soaking in the river for so long, and his skin was soaked white, but he was not bitten or even eaten by those aquatic beasts.

After letting a pioneer warrior carry it on his back, Guo Dafu slapped the old man's back a few times, and the other party immediately spit out several mouthfuls of river water, and his breathing gradually returned to normal.

Seeing this, Guo Dafu exchanged a piece of chocolate from the mall and carefully fed it to the old man.

The other party must have lost a lot of calories after soaking in the river for so long, and chocolate, a high-calorie food, can just replenish the much-needed calories for the other party.

"His clothes are rotten! Go get a thicker hide! When Guo Dafu was feeding the other party chocolate, he also found that the coarse cloth clothes on the other party were almost torn, so he instructed a pioneer man beside him.

Soon, a bear skin that had been preliminarily processed was taken, this was the fur of an earth storm beast, this is a kind of existence whose strength is stronger than that of fierce beasts such as the giant dragon and the iron-backed wild boar, among which the weakest strength value is above fifty points, and the strongest one's strength value is more than seventy.

However, the speed of this fierce beast is not good, and the number is not large, so several Earth Storm Bears who participated in the attack on the stronghold yesterday were all killed by the rain of arrows.

After taking off the old man's damp and tattered clothes, Guo Dafu wrapped the other party's body in a bear skin, and then continued to feed the other party chocolate, as for the water, he felt that the other party should have drunk enough after being in the river for so long.

After a piece of chocolate the size of half a palm was eaten, the old man finally regained some energy, a pair of dim old eyes opened hard, and asked Guo Dafu, "Where is this?" Am I not dead yet? ”

"Uncle, you're not dead yet! This is Dawning City, and it's my territory! ”

Guo Dafu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party had finally recovered, after all, this was the first humanoid NPC he had encountered in this game world! There are a lot of questions he wants to ask the other party for! If the other party can't be rescued, then he doesn't know when he will be able to meet this kind of humanoid NPC again.

The old man, who had completely sobered up, immediately judged that he was saved by the lord in front of him, so he hurriedly thanked Guo Dafu for his kindness.

Then Guo Dafu had a good exchange with the other party, and finally had some understanding of the identity of the old man.

According to the old man, his name is Qingzhou, and he is a villager of Qingshui Village, and the other party can't tell where Qingshui Village is for the time being, because he has been in a coma in the river for too long, and he doesn't know how far he has floated.

However, Nashimizu Village is also a small village established by the river, so if you follow the current and look all the way up, you should be able to find that village.

According to Qing Zhou, although the Qingshui Village where he is located is very small in scale and there are only more than a hundred villagers, but a few decades ago, there was a steady stream of brave people from other worlds.

Although these brave men from another world act a little strangely, none of them are afraid of death, and they will fight with the fierce beasts that appear around the village every day.

Under the purging of such brave people from another world, those terrifying beasts basically have no chance to get close to the village. And the villagers can also rely on the extremely low price to buy a large amount of fierce beast flesh and materials from those brave people in the other world.

This made Qingshui Village very prosperous for a while, relying on the abundant flesh and blood of the fierce beasts, dozens of cultivated martial artists have been produced in the small Qingshui Village, and in the future, just relying on those martial artists in this village, they can go out alone to hunt some powerful fierce beasts.

But the good times didn't last long, and after seven or eight years, those brave people from other worlds appeared less and less, and finally disappeared completely in less than a year, and never appeared again.

And without the help of these brave men from another world, those fierce beasts that reproduced at a ridiculously fast rate quickly took back the territory that originally belonged to them, and then occupied several pieces of fertile land that the villagers of Qingshui had cultivated around the village.

The warriors in Shimizu Village also tried to drive out those fierce beasts by force and recapture those fields.

At the beginning, they really succeeded once or twice, but the reproduction speed of those fierce beasts was too fast, even if many were destroyed, it would not take long to return to the previous population size, such as the weakest fierce beasts such as steel-toothed rats, the reproduction rate was even more terrifying, it only took less than a week to grow from larvae to adult.

Therefore, the fierce beasts can lose countless times, but the villagers of Qingshui Village can't lose once, after all, if a human wants to grow from a baby to an adult, it will take at least ten years, and if you want to become a powerful martial artist, it will take decades of hard cultivation.

Therefore, although the warriors of Qingshui Village were very cautious, in the face of those fierce beasts that continued to launch counterattacks, casualties continued to appear, and finally they had to retreat to the village after about three months of support.

When the villagers watched the warriors that their village had cultivated with great difficulty retreating with heavy casualties, most of the villagers felt that the end of Qingshui Village was coming.

After all, if those fierce beasts are sealed in the village, all kinds of supplies will soon be exhausted, and everyone will be starved to death at that time.

At this juncture, a powerful spirit beast appeared, driving out those fierce beasts that were approaching step by step, sheltering Qingshui Village and several surrounding villages.

This blue-scaled python is one of the few giant beasts that have good intentions towards humans, and this kind of giant beasts that are lower than humans have good intentions are called spirit beasts, which are distinguished from fierce beasts.

In the past, when those heroes from another world were still there, they could often receive some small tasks from each other, and then get some rewards! Some villagers of Qingshui Village also had a few encounters with this blue-scaled python because of the relationship between those brave people from another world, but they didn't expect that in the end, it was this spirit beast that had only dealt with them a few times that saved their lives.

Under the protection of this blue-scaled python, Qingshui Village spent more than thirty years peacefully, but just twenty years ago, a steel-toothed rat didn't know what heaven and earth treasures it had swallowed, and it quickly broke through from a weak steel-toothed rat to an extraordinary.

In the division of Qingzhou, the transcendent realm of these fierce beasts is benchmarked against the innate realm of martial artists, and one of the three basic attributes must break through one hundred points.

Although the strength of the steel-toothed rat king who had just broken through to the transcendent realm was not as strong as the blue-scaled python, but the ability to control other steel-toothed rats he had obtained, relying on the almost endless swarm of rats, this steel-toothed rat king did not stop attacking several villages again and again for a day.

This made the blue-scaled python almost exhausted his mental strength for this, and he felt more and more that he was lacking in skills.

As the saying goes, if you keep it for a long time, you will lose, and recently the steel-toothed rat king, relying on the strategy of single-handedly diverting the tiger from the mountain, used himself as bait to lure their guardian god green scale python to another village, and then gathered tens of thousands of steel-toothed rats to launch a surprise attack on Qingshui Village, completely breaking through the village.

After the village was breached, in order to avoid being bitten to death by those big rats, Qingzhou jumped into the Qingshui River in despair, but he didn't last long before he was washed by the current and hit a reef and fainted, if Guo Dafu hadn't saved him, his final outcome would have been to slowly drown in the Qingshui River in a coma.

Guo Dafu listened to the other party's story, but he felt that this seemed to be the design of the game planning during the closed beta and had not been deleted!

After all, according to this old man, their village is completely a novice village in a traditional online game! Those so-called heroes from another world are players, and without the suppression of players, those fierce beasts refresh so quickly, naturally no one can control them.

And from Qingzhou's words, Guo Dafu also learned that during the internal test, players seem to be able to improve their realm little by little by practicing various martial arts techniques.

Even the flesh and blood of those fierce beasts seemed to be the main raw material for refining those pills that could speed up their cultivation, so those players would be so active in hunting fierce beasts every day.

But now the flesh and blood of those fierce beasts are slightly poisonous, and they obviously can't be used as alchemy materials, and I don't know what's going on.

For Guo Dafu's question, Qing Zhou gave a very unexpected answer, according to their guardian spirit beast, since those brave people from another world disappeared, their world has been slowly dying and rotting, and those who are the weakest and have not broken through to the extraordinary beasts will be the first to be affected, and the flesh and blood of the body will begin to decay and deteriorate, unless it is treated by special means, it can no longer be used as raw materials and food for alchemy.
