Unknowingly, it was the dawn of dawn, and the light gradually dispelled all the darkness.
Perhaps it was because the tree demon city lord died and the zombie monsters in the ghost city lost their restraints, so they didn't encounter a single monster during their way out of the city.
You don't need to think about it to know that they should have left the ghost city or been killed by the monks in Loucheng.
When the two of them reached the city gate, they happened to pass by the hotel entrance and stopped in unison.
"How...how did this happen?"
The young man said in a trembling tone that the scenes he saw at night and in the morning were completely different.
Looking at the hotel at this time, it was already in ruins. There were dozens of corpses hanging on a row of trees at the door.
The corpse was dried and decayed, and it only took a gentle breeze in the morning to start swinging continuously.
On the table at the entrance of the store, there were rotten and maggot-infested food, and several corpses with arrows stuck in their bodies were lying on the mottled table.
The caravan that the young man followed has now disappeared, leaving only bones and blood everywhere.
Most of the livestock in the caravan have been eaten by the corpse monsters, and the surviving livestock are also injured and hiding in the corner.
The young man said that the journey was long and he should get two livestock as transportation. Tang Zhen did not refuse.
Now that his strength is sealed, traveling long distances is not an easy task, and it is also a good thing to have a car to travel.
The young man entered the hotel excitedly and kept rummaging around. Judging from his movements, it was obvious that he was not looking for livestock.
No monsters were seen along the way, which made the young man relax his vigilance. The purpose of entering the hotel at this moment was actually to find property.
Regardless of whether the caravan came from afar or in this large hotel, there would definitely be property left behind.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he found a money bag from the corpse, a corpse monster emerged from the water tank and pinned the young man to the ground.
The young man's neck was strangled, unable to make a sound or get up. Seeing the soaked and swollen corpse monster biting him, he couldn't help but feel filled with despair.
At this critical moment, Tang Zhen appeared in time and killed the corpse monster with one sword.
The young man narrowly escaped death and kowtowed quickly to thank him, but Tang Zhen stopped him coldly.
"Find a weapon for self-defense. It's best to get a set of armor. I can't show up in time every time!"
Tang Zhen said coldly, while the young man nodded repeatedly, and at the same time wiped away the stinky corpse water dripping on his face with his sleeves, feeling full of fear.
Running to a corpse in the yard, the young man pulled off the leather armor, scrubbed it with water and put it on himself.
Picking up the machete that fell on the ground, the young man suddenly felt confident, and then he continued to search.
In a short time, he got more than a dozen money bags, and the rich harvest made him smile.
Tang Zhen did not stop the young people from doing this. Youdao was the way to make a poor family rich, and they would definitely have a lot of money to spend in the future.
While the young man was searching around, Tang Zhen also looked around randomly and picked up a box full of gold coins.
Tang Zhen didn't know the specific value of this currency, and he didn't ask the young man, but just put it into the leather pocket he picked up.
Tang had not used this backpack-like leather bag for many years. Now that he could not use storage equipment, he naturally had to use a backpack to store items.
About an hour later, the young man brought in three horses-like animals. They were tall and strong, with two long horns extending backwards on their heads.
Because long horns would hinder riding, they were cut off to only one foot and polished smooth and rounded.
"Sir, these are the three-horned beasts I found. They were hiding in the vegetable garden, so they were not killed by monsters."
When the young man said this, he remembered what he had just seen in the vegetable garden, and couldn't help but feel nauseated and retching.
"Yes, Not Bad."
Tang Zhen nodded, turned over and rode on the back of the horned beast. He felt very comfortable and there was no need for any saddlery at all.
I just don’t know how fast this kind of mount is. If it performs well in all aspects, it can be used as the main mount of the cavalry.
The young man got some baggage and put them all on the back of one of the horned beasts. Tang Zhen glanced at them and saw that they were things like tents and pots.
There was also a bag containing rice, flour and fat, which was obviously used as rations on the road.
When Tang Zhen saw this scene, he nodded secretly. After struggling all night, he did feel a little hungry.
It is said that an energized body does not need to eat at all. If this happens, it is obviously affected by some powerful force.
Even a powerful creator needs to eat and rest like ordinary people after his cultivation is sealed.
This is not meaningless. According to Tang Zhen's guess, it should be helpful for the monks in Loucheng to restore their physical strength.
Tang Zhen also has some guesses about the world he lives in, but there is currently a lack of sufficient and effective evidence.
"Your Excellency, let's set off."
After the young man finished his work, he asked Tang Zhen.
After receiving the permission, he immediately drove the horned beast ahead, dragging the horned beast carrying supplies along the way.
Tang Zhen followed, and the two of them and the three cavalry officially left the ghost town.
"By the way, what's your name? Is there anyone else at home?"
Looking at the young man walking in front, Tang Zhen asked casually to kill the boring time during the journey.
When the young man heard Tang Zhen's question, he quickly and respectfully replied: "Reporting to your Excellency, the villain actually has no name, but people in the village always call me Ergou.
I have an older brother who is now married and has a business, and a younger sister who lives with him at home.
Because I am not the eldest son, I have no land and no land, so I cannot get a wife at all.
When there is no other way, they will come here with the caravan, hoping to make money and start a family. "
The young man said this with a hint of emotion on his face. He didn't expect that he would encounter such bizarre and exciting things this time when he went out to make a living!
"It's not like you came in vain this time. At least if you want to get married again, you don't need to worry about money."
Tang Zhen said in a light tone. The meaning of his words naturally meant that Ergou had picked up a lot of money.
Ergou smiled when he heard this, but did not feel nervous because he knew that Tang Zhen was not interested in the money.
If Tang Zhen needs it, he is even willing to spend all the money to get the opportunity to teach Tang Zhen his skills.
“My biggest wish in the past was to build a new house, buy some land, marry a wife, and have several children.
But now I hope that I can have strong power like adults.
Even in a place like a ghost town, you can come and go as you please! "
When Ergou spoke, there was a hint of longing in his eyes. This kind of dream originated from the shock after learning about the existence of the new world, and it may not change throughout his life.
Tang Zhen nodded. He understood Ergou's dream very well, but he couldn't make any promises to him.
After all, this is a cruel competition. Although I have temporarily gained some advantages, there is no guarantee that I will not be eliminated.
Of course, if given the opportunity, Tang Zhen wouldn't mind helping the young man. If the other party could help him, he would definitely show his support.
Compared with other Loucheng monks in other war zones, Tang Zhen suffered greatly in many places, so he had to find ways to make up for his weaknesses.
Borrowing the power of indigenous people is a good way.
But this is not a long-term solution, because as long as there are a sufficient number of monsters, Loucheng monks can grow rapidly.
At this point, the indigenous monks are simply incomparable. In this land that belongs to them, they are destined to be reduced to a supporting role. 2k reading network
