Chapter 7: Encounters
Shopkeeper Zhang, who has been a businessman in Nanban for decades, is well-informed and extremely vigilant.
He had a lot of sense.
However, it was a slow step after all.
Although the speed of the armored beast is faster than that of a human, it is too slow compared to the flying heaven and earth of a cultivator.
A group of thirteen people had just avoided the Tiger Slope and continued to travel north for less than three miles before they were stopped in their way.
In the middle of the mountain road, the fog is thick.
I can't see my five fingers, let alone distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.
In the mist, there was a dead silence.
Even the countless insects and birds in the mountains and forests seemed to have lost their traces at this moment, leaving only a silence like death.
Everyone sat on the back of the armored beast, looking at the strange scene in front of them, and it was not clear what was happening.
Demons are infested, and all living beings are extinguished.
This is a demon coming!
They looked left and right, looking at the slowly approaching mist, their faces ugly and nervous.
"Damn, we're a step too late."
"Such a big vision, I don't know where the demon came."
Everyone talked a lot and was very annoyed.
"Withdraw."
Shopkeeper Zhang is not an ordinary person, his face is solemn, and he reacted immediately.
Although they have guards, they can deal with ordinary robbers and wild beasts, and dealing with such demons is no less than killing themselves. Even if you don't consider the problem of demons and evil spirits, the mountain roads are rugged and difficult to navigate, and in many places only one person is allowed to pass, and you may fall into a cliff if you are not careful.
Such a heavy fog, even if there are no demons, is extremely dangerous.
The road ahead was blocked, and the shopkeeper Zhang didn't even have the idea of temptation.
"Shopkeeper, where are we going now?"
Others don't want to risk their lives either.
It's just that in the face of such a situation at the moment, it is difficult.
In this group of mountains, it is not like the plains, the road ahead is not passable, and it is a big deal to turn back to the left and right.
There was only one mountain road on this trade route, either forward or backward.
As for the left and right sides, there are either bottomless cliffs or unclimbable mountains, which are no less dangerous than facing demons.
But the problem now is that the fog is coming too fast.
Judging by the current situation, it is simply impossible to run through the fog.
"Tiger Slope, Divine Tiger Temple."
Shopkeeper Zhang almost didn't hesitate, and said firmly while carefully manipulating the armored beast to turn around.
These demons are heading for the Divine Tiger Temple.
While the Divine Tiger Temple is undoubtedly the most dangerous place, it is also the only place that can provide them with refuge.
The others quickly understood this, and manipulated the beast to reverse direction.
Inside the Temple of the Divine Tiger.
Liu Xian cleared an area on the right side of the temple, and then set up a tent in the relatively spacious temple.
A barbecue grill was set up in front of the tent.
These days, he eats too many instant noodles and self-heating pots, and he wants to change his taste.
However, the ingredients are not products of this world, but beef, mutton, pork and so on that Yang Youyou gave away in friendship. Even the charcoal is packed casually.
This made Liu Xian can't help but want to give Yang Youyou a few five-star reviews.
Unfortunately, the system doesn't have this feature.
But considering Yang Youyou's thoughtful service, Liu Xian decided that the system would open the gift function in the future, and he would definitely give Yang Youyou some good things.
Otherwise, it's embarrassing to take other people's things for nothing every day.
Liu Xian has always thought of himself as a good-skinned man.
After setting up the tent and making a barbecue, Liu Xian clicked on the chat interface.
As he explores the world, although he is only in a hurry, the system's ability has really improved a lot. In particular, the communication ability of this pit man has improved tremendously.
The cooldown time for communication has now been reduced to three hours.
The cooldown of trade items has also been reduced to six hours.
In addition to the fact that the space for each transaction is still a pitiful cubic meter, it is a lot more convenient.
And the cumulative number of information exchanges has also increased by eight.
Now that an ancient abandoned temple has been found in the wilderness, as well as a smart creature that can speak, Liu Xian is in a particularly good mood.
What is this, and that's a good thing.
When you encounter something good, of course, you have to show off to your friends, phew, share.
The first thing Liu Xian thought of was Yang Youyou.
Because only Yang Youyou can let him show off.
Liu Xian: Old temple, camping, barbecue, happy.
Seeing Liu Xian's message, Yang Youyou did not feel his joy, but realized the seriousness of the problem.
Temple!
What kind of temple is not said for the time being.
If there is a temple, it means that there are settlements of other civilizations nearby.
It won't be far.
If there are other civilizations, there must be natives from other worlds!
The creatures of the two worlds meet for the first time.
Contact of the third kind!
What an important thing.
Even if it is small, it is also a major matter related to the safety of Liu Xian's life.
At least in Yang Youyou's view, Liu Xian's life safety has been seriously challenged, and the danger level has increased dramatically.
"What, the temple was discovered!"
When Zhang Baike learned of Liu Xian's discovery, he covered his cheeks with his hands excitedly, and his heart was pounding.
It's a different world.
There are no aliens.
What a great discovery.
However, after being excited, Zhang Baike also immediately realized the problem.
Dangerous!
Danger like never before!
How a stranger deals with an unknown native, this is a very profound science.
Just like the Age of Discovery in the West.
Some returned laden with gold, others lost their lives, and some became excrement, eventually nourishing flowers and plants.
"Let's make it public."
After thinking about it, Zhang Baike solemnly proposed.
Disclosure refers to the disclosure of the affairs of the navigator to other members.
Although Yang Youyou has never concealed this matter, others don't believe in any navigators, any systems, or any other world.
That's.
After all, Yang Youyou didn't come up with any evidence!
She can't prove the existence of another world!
At least there was no way to prove it before.
And now, Yang Youyou can prove the existence of the other world and the navigator to other members by trading materials.
It's just that for various reasons, Yang Youyou never did this.
But now that Zhang Baike thought about it carefully, he felt that he had to disclose this secret to the other members. With Liu Xian's discovery of the civilization architecture of another world, it means that he will face a lot of problems, even directly related to his life and death.
In the future, it is no longer possible for the two of them to solve it.
There is only one navigator, and he cannot die.
This is the consensus of Zhang Encyclopedia and Yang Youyou.
Yang Youyou naturally understood this truth and gave a decisive reply: "Okay." ”
At the same time, Liu Xian was having a barbecue and heard a noisy sound outside.
"There is the Tiger Temple in front, everyone hurry up."
"Damn, what kind of evil have we done, such evil things can be encountered."
"Shhh, you turtle grandson don't say a word, this is already the realm of the Shenhu Temple, and the front is the Shenhu Temple, it's not good for the Shenhu to hear these words."
"Ahem, I didn't mean that."
"Okay, let's talk less, hurry up the mountain, the fog is coming."
Liu Xian couldn't understand their language, but he could read their meaning through his spirit.
He looked sideways, through the thick walls, through the lush jungle, and saw the caravan coming up from the foot of the mountain.
Thirteen people.
Thirty-six armored beasts.
It was loaded with goods.
After half a ring, the caravan came to the temple.
"Shopkeeper, there's someone in the temple."
A middle-aged man with a sharp blade had just walked into the courtyard when he saw the fire in the temple and cautiously retreated.
"In this wilderness, the sky is getting dark again, and it is normal for friends on the road to stay here."
Shopkeeper Zhang coped calmly, but secretly made a gesture to a few of the guards.
It means to be on guard.
Everyone understood, made eye contact, and did not continue to say more.
When you go out, how can you not pay attention. Especially for merchants like them, who travel long distances, they don't know how much trouble they have to go through on the way.
Because of the small courtyard, the people could only settle the armored beast outside the temple.
The goods were unloaded and placed in the courtyard of the temple, and a group of thirteen people entered the temple one after another.
Seeing Liu Xian, they breathed a sigh of relief.
In this wilderness, the most feared thing is to encounter demons and spirits.
