Chapter 53: Investigators, Dispatched
Although it was autumn, the sun was still hot, and Feng Xue slipped out of Zhuangzi at this time, and walked all the way towards the hill before.
Twenty barbarian slaves are like characters in a real-time strategy game, under Feng Xue's control, they will firmly protect him, front and back, left and right, but unfortunately the barbarian slaves have no intelligence at all, and can only accept quite basic orders, so they can't use weapons such as bows and arrows, crossbows, etc., but even if it's just a class of sword and shield soldiers, it is not easy to hurt Feng Xue without an air force.
After all, a soldier with a strong body, but not afraid of death at all, is really quite terrifying, and the bottom order Feng Xue gave them was to protect himself.
The command given by the spirit card is directly implanted instinctively, just like a man sees the welfare map, but his brain will move [tuck-] a little, after implanting the command to protect someone, as long as the perception of the barbarian slave catches the existence that may harm Feng Xue, it will be used as a meat shield to block the knife without thinking In this way, there is no need for spiritual wisdom or anything.
Of course, there are many inconvenient places for barbarian slaves, otherwise the nobles will not hire those ordinary bodyguards now.
Two barbarian slaves carried sliding poles and walked quickly through the mountains, and walked for more than an hour in the morning, and then ran down in less than half an hour.
Looking at the hill in front of her, Feng Xue swallowed lightly, although she had the intention to let the barbarian slave go up the mountain and go to the thunder, but the barbarian slave did not have that kind of IQ, and the spirit card did not have functions such as God's perspective and monitor.
"It's all here......" Feng Xue was thinking about it in her heart, and another thought suddenly popped up in her heart.
It's not the dice turning, it's something he thinks of seriously with his brain-
He is not the kind of rookie who only relies on dice to run a group, and reasoning by his brain is the essence of running a group.
"The Terrans live near the water, and since there is a clear looking creek here, there may be a village or something nearby. Feng Xue thought so, and controlled the barbarian slave to go down the stream.
It's not that he plans to let civilians go to the mines, but they rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to eat the water, and if there are mountain people nearby, there should be a lot of information.
Although there is a high probability that you will not be able to get information related to Kurako, just the route of the mountain people up the mountain and whether the mountain people who have recently gone up the mountain are safe, it is already very useful information - at least it is safer than a reckless person to go up the mountain.
After walking for about two miles, Feng Xue finally found traces of human habitation, not big, from a distance, there are about a dozen households, there are no fields around the village, you can see some furs supported on bamboo poles and supports, and occasionally a few dogs bark, it should be a village composed of hunters.
Interestingly, seeing Feng Xue's group of heavily armed barbarian slaves, the old man who seemed to be basking in the sun at the head of the village was not surprised or frightened, but beckoned from afar, and shouted to the village at the same time:
"The collector is here!"
"......" Feng Xue grinned, this is to regard himself as a merchant who collects mountain goods? But this is also the situation he wants, he didn't refute, he directly turned off the sliding rod, walked a few steps not far from the old man, and said in a throat:
"Uncle, are all hunters in your village?"
"Eh, a new face?" The old man was also surprised when he saw Feng Xue, he thought it was a businessman who usually came, but he didn't expect it to be a living person, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, but some hunters in the village had already come out and began to gather with their respective goods.
Feng Xueqian brought a lot of money, all of which were silver cakes, and her purchasing power was not low.
In these years, as long as it is metal, it can be used as currency, the official currency is bronze, but silver and gold can also be used, if you can refine iron, but in these years, iron can only be refined by monks, and ordinary people do not necessarily know it.
However, if there is money, there is money, but how to open his mouth is also a problem, after all, he is not a real businessman, he does not understand the market, and when he opens his mouth, he is afraid that he will inevitably show timidity.
Fortunately, when the old man saw that it was a new face, he took the initiative to speak:
"I don't know what kind of mountain goods you collect? fur, veterinary medicine or game?"
"Is your village still so divided?" Feng Xue was also a little surprised when she heard this, and the old man suddenly said proudly:
"Although they all rely on the mountains to eat, everyone has their own skills, and the things in the mountains are also counted, so you can distinguish them clearly, so as not to smash your job. ”
"Sustainable development?" Feng Xue praised in her heart, and the question that was originally on her lips was swallowed immediately, just like asking for news in a bar in a novel game to give a tip, if you want to get news from the villagers, you have to give some benefits, otherwise why should people accompany you?
After thinking for a while, Feng Xue's eyes rolled, but she said:
"Are there any living creatures?"
"Living creatures?"
The old man pondered the word for a moment, and then said with a tacit expression:
"Lao Li Tou happened to go into the mountain to check the cage, and he was almost coming back when he saw the hour, and the nobles advanced to the village ......and so on."
"What are you talking about?" Feng Xue muttered in his heart, but he didn't ask, he said that living creatures are a vague concept, and the other party understands it as buying hunting dogs, and it can also be understood as buying raw game, but looking at his attitude, shouldn't there be human trafficking in this village?
But if you think about it, if you go up the mountain to check the cage, maybe it means that there may be a living?
Feng Xue waited in the village for two quarters of an hour, and several villagers sold him some mountain goods such as bear bile and snake wine.
"Old Zhangtou, are there any big insects on your mountain?"
"There are no big insects, but the kittens have fought a lot. Lao Zhangtou pointed to the tiger skin he hung on the wall, this year's big worm is not an ordinary tiger, but a demon beast that has begun to swallow the essence of the sun, although it is generally a small demon level, but for ordinary hunters, it is not easy to get along, of course, to fight a big worm, the income is enough to match the risk.
However, Feng Xue asked the big worm naturally not really wanted the parts of the big worm, but in order to lead to a dangerous question, this old man really went to the road, and after finishing speaking, he began to sigh:
"These surrounding mountains, are all small mountains, can't raise big insects, but some little monsters are still there, last year the Liu family boy let the gray skin to take it, and then the gray skin was killed, but the people are gone. ”
Feng Xue didn't know what Gray Pizi meant, but only said two sentences, but found that Old Man Zhang was going farther and farther the more he counted, which seemed to mean that there was nothing worth mentioning in recent years.
"There is no danger on the mountain...... At least not the Taoist priest arranged it. Feng Xue speculated in her heart, but she was still not sure, and was about to talk about something else, but suddenly heard someone knocking on the door:
"Old Zhangtou, I heard that someone received the goods?"
..............................
PS1: How did the Terrans develop with such a high frequency of disasters...... There are many births, fast births, a large base, and there are monks in big cities, Feng Xue is located in a remote county town, which belongs to the wasteland area, and the evil path scattered cultivators like to start with the cultivation place, and ordinary people lack knowledge and insight. As for Feng Xue's persecution paranoia, it's strange that he hasn't had stress trauma disorder after dying so many times, besides, there is a person with arms near your house, even if he didn't do anything, aren't you afraid? Don't doubt it? And the current plot is half a year, Feng Xue has encountered four incidents, in fact, only frivolity is really at the city level, Tai Sui should be discovered at most, after all, it is not restrained, and the county order must be judged. It's equivalent to one or two major typhoons or earthquakes a year, which is not as exaggerated as you think
PS2: On the question of crop refinement -
First of all, the spiritual power within the unit is evenly distributed, that is to say, the more plants are planted in a piece of land, the less spiritual energy each plant can come into contact with.
The second is the bloodline, as I said before, the road of demon cultivation is actually the path of the creatures towards the ancestors of the three thousand demon gods, the food is changed quickly, countless generations of reproduction and domestication, and the bloodline of the three thousand demon gods has long been thin and not like anything, even if it is soaked in the aura, it may not be able to become a refinement, let alone the spiritual power is thin.
Finally, grain is not like those medicinal herbs that pursue vintage and medicinal properties, which are harvested once every six months or even a few months, even if there is an ancestral bloodline in these grains, and they are harvested in only half a month after planting, they naturally cannot become refined.
