Chapter 146: Xanadu - Beautiful Valley

Thinking of this, everyone was even more jealous of Zhao Yang and the elf, and their attitude was also very respectful, after all, the two people in front of them had the ability to kill them easily.

"My lord, I don't know if you are looking for something, we have been in the wild for a long time, we are very familiar with the situation in the wild, and if there is something we need to find, we will do our best. ”

The middle-aged man said respectfully to Zhao Yang.

"Nothing special, just want to re-establish a settlement in the wilderness, and are now looking for a suitable location, which can be used as the first settlement if the place where you lived before is suitable. ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, no matter what the reason for the mage in front of him was to establish a settlement in the wilderness, as long as they took this line, wouldn't they be able to go back to live in their original place again.

To say that leaving their hometown and going to work outside the city is actually unwilling for everyone. Once outside the city, they will only be used as cannon fodder and consumables. And in the original settlements, although life was also difficult, at least they were free, and no one came to oppress them.

"My lord, can you consider us as the first inhabitants? We have been living in the wild for a long time, and if you give us a little shelter, we can do a good job for you. ”

This is the second time that middle-aged men have said this, they are too eager for the protection of a strong person, in the city, although they face oppression and exploitation, but the lives of people in the workplace are guaranteed, although life is difficult, but there is still some hope, but in the wild, they will face the invasion of beasts and monsters at any time, and if they are not careful, the settlements in the decades may be destroyed.

And the really strong people don't live in the wild, they generally settle in the city, so just like the settlement before the middle-aged man, their strongest person is just an intermediate warrior. Because if it is a high-level warrior, then it is enough to establish a medium-level force in the city and live a very good life, there is no need to come outside the city to beg for such a difficult life, and the middle-aged man, the middle-level warrior of the settled tribe, also died in the invasion of the beast tide.

The strongest among the dozens of them now is the middle-aged man in front of him, but his strength is only around the middle level of a warrior, and this strength is already an intermediate force among the people who have settled in the wild.

But compared with these powers and beasts and monsters in the wild, it is not at the same level at all, even if it is the lowest-level monster, it is close to the strength of intermediate warriors, although these monsters usually only invade when the wormhole appears, but because of the changes in the earth's environment, the beasts have also changed a lot, and some of the strongest beasts in the wild can reach the strength of intermediate warriors.

Just like the rhinoceros beast that attacked them before, its strength has reached the level of an intermediate warrior.

"I'll talk about this until I see your settlement, and if you're really useful, then I'll take you. ”

As Zhao Yang from the world more than 100 years ago, in the face of such a plea, in fact, he was still a little unable to refuse, after all, he was just an ordinary person in the past, although he gained power, but to be honest, he did not use these powers in particular, and disliking the object of the transaction and the object of the contract was as an instinct.

But if they agree to it so easily, then in fact, they will not particularly cherish such an opportunity, and it is actually not a good thing for them.

The middle-aged man nodded, he was a little anxious. Now they don't show any value, so it's a bit anxious to say these follow-ups.

The group walked for almost three hours until they came to the front of a valley.

The entrance to the valley is very hidden, and ordinary people can't find it if it weren't for a middle-aged man leading the way. The surrounding plants are very tall, and large trees that are tens of meters high can be seen everywhere. Moreover, even large ferns, which only existed in ancient times, have appeared.

The middle-aged man led Zhao Yang and the elf into the valley, the wooden houses in the valley were seriously damaged, and there were dead people everywhere, the middle-aged man looked at these dead people, and there was some sadness in his eyes.

After all, he was the leader of this settlement, and he was the one who led these people in the first place, because he could not bear the oppression of laborers outside the city, so he ran to the wild to survive.

He still remembered that a few years ago, they were all building walls outside the city, and the dirtiest, most tiring, and most dangerous work was done by those of them who had no city identity. Many people, just for an identity that can enter the city, desperately save points, no matter what hard work, they will do it.

However, the reality disappointed them, and the annual quota for entering the city was only taken out by the city manager to whet people's appetites. In fact, the people who can really enter the city are not the laborers.

They are just consumed as cannon fodder and do not see the slightest hope.

The ones who can really enter the city are those who have established tribes in the wild, and can provide the resources needed in the city, and only by exchanging these resources can they have a place to enter the city. And the labor they put in as laborers is actually not worth mentioning.

But even if you go into the city, what can you do, those people in the lower city actually don't live very well. It's just that the most basic life support is too much, that's all.

"How many people were there in your settlement?"

Zhao Yang asked.

"My lord, our settlement is small, there were more than a hundred people before, but now there are only us left. ”

The middle-aged man replied respectfully.

"What do you do for a living?"

Zhao Yang continued to ask.

"In the valley, there is a slightly flat land, about 100 acres, we grow some grain, pick some berries, and we can hunt in normal times, so food is not a problem. ”

Zhao Yang looked at these dozens of people, each of them looked healthy, their faces were ruddy, and it seemed that there was no lack of nutrition in their usual life.

Also, now that the environment has changed dramatically, the oxygen content in the air has also increased, so plants and animals grow faster and larger, and with the size of a human being, it is actually easier than before to obtain food.

If food is not a problem, the biggest threat is safety.

Those beasts are okay, the most powerful is only the level of a medium warrior, as long as they are equipped with some weapons, they can basically deal with it.

The biggest problem is the invasion of alien beasts, these alien beasts, ordinary strength is stronger, even the lowest, there is the level of intermediate warriors, and the alien beasts with the strength of high-level warriors are the backbone of the invasion.

In such a tribe, the leader is only the strength of a mid-level warrior, and as long as he encounters a high-level beast, then the entire settlement will be destroyed.

Therefore, if you want to get the guarantee of survival, you must at least have a high-level warrior in charge, but a high-level warrior will not go to the wild to live such a life.

This creates an unsolvable cycle.
