At the same time, a wall of fire rose around the camp, enveloping the entire camp. This was what Dowling had just arranged.
The noise here woke everyone up. They rushed out of the tent and saw the short man shivering next to the campfire holding a basin.
"What is this?" Li Ming exclaimed after seeing those things clearly.
Beside the bonfire, there were several large monkeys with sharp mouths and monkey cheeks. At this time, they were looking at everyone with horrified faces. In their arms were the food they had just stolen.
"They may just be hungry and want to find some food." Fubo said with a smile.
"How could there be monkeys here?" Li Ming asked.
As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned. Yes, this is not a forest, but a hilly area. It would be understandable if the people who stole the food just now were jackals, tigers and leopards, but these are monkeys living in the jungle.
"They should be tamed." Li Ziqiang stepped forward and said, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.
"Take the food and go..." Long Xiaonian waved his hand and said.
Hearing this, the monkeys seemed to understand and hurriedly ran away with the stolen food.
Dorian extinguished the red lotus fire in the fire ring and let them leave.
"This is not the first time for everyone to go on a mission. Don't be too dead when you sleep. This time you are a giant monkey looking for food. It may not be the same next time. It would be too unfair to be killed while sleeping." Li Ziqiang said seriously.
"It's better to be careful, we need to be vigilant." Fu Bo nodded and said.
"They probably came here to explore under the pretext of looking for food." Li Da, who had been silent until now, said at this time.
Everyone looked at him, as if waiting for his explanation.
"Actually, there has always been a group of foreigners living in this hilly area. I knew about this early on. They are the founders of Dragon City and the only foreigners who have not been expelled from the Lieyang Empire area." Li Da explained.
"How do you know this?" Li Ziqiang asked with a frown.
"This is the secret of my jurisdiction. I heard it from the common people by chance. I believe you have also heard that caravans passing by in this hilly area disappear inexplicably from time to time. It should be this group of foreigners."
"What is a foreigner? My kind?" Dolin asked with a frown.
"No! They were the natives before the Lieyang Empire. They were cruel by nature but good at civil engineering. So when the Chu family founded the Lieyang Empire, they expelled most of the foreigners, and the remaining ones were responsible for creating the major counties and cities." Li Da explained road.
Daolin nodded after hearing this. If the foreigners mentioned here were people from other empires, then the Lieyang Empire would have gone too far.
"Let's pack up and prepare to leave." Li Ziqiang said.
"It's useless. If they target us, they won't give up easily." Li Da shook his head and said.
Li Ming said disdainfully: "What are you afraid of? With so many high-end combat capabilities, is it possible that we are afraid of these foreigners?"
"Although we are strong, they are good at civil engineering and creation. If they have powerful machinery, even we have to stay away." Li Da explained.
"It's okay. I will keep vigil tonight. You can go to sleep. I will call you if something happens. I want to see if those foreigners dare to come." Li Ming waved his hand and said.
When everyone saw that he took the initiative to stay vigil, they were happy to be free and went back to their tents to sleep.
Back in the tent, Dolin had no intention of sleeping, so he asked Gang Bong if he knew any news about foreigners.
"The so-called foreigners are just the earliest human beings in ancient times. They have always existed, and their wisdom is no less than that of modern people. The reason why various empires expelled them is because they are like wild beasts and will eat when they are wise. Man." Gang Bong's voice sounded in Dolin's mind.
"Don't we have the same roots as them?" Dorian asked puzzledly.
"As the times change, some people have evolved, and some people are unwilling to evolve, and we are the ones who have evolved. As for why we are unwilling to evolve, I don't know." Gang Yan said.
"I only know that there is an agreement between the two."
"What agreement?"
"You will naturally know it when you become the emperor. It is useless to say more now." Gang Yan said in a deep voice.
"Okay," Dorian replied with a sigh.
"Be careful where you go, it's very dangerous." Gang Yan said suddenly.
"Why is it dangerous?" Dolin asked hurriedly.
"I can't say, I can't interfere with your development. You have to walk all the roads by yourself." Gang Yan said.
Daolin ended his conversation with Gang Rong. At this time, he was not sleepy, so he got up to find Li Da.
As expected, Li Da didn't sleep either. When he saw Daolin coming to see him, he invited him in.
"Can you tell me about the foreigners?" Dorian asked straight to the point.
Li Da nodded and said, "In fact, there are often reports from trading companies that their caravans have disappeared in this hilly area. We say it is the work of bandits, but in fact that is only part of it, and the other part is the work of this group of foreigners."
"Where do they live? It's in full view. There's no shelter at all?" Dowling asked.
"Didn't I say it before? They are good at civil engineering. The entire hilly area is their capital. They have a large population and are a force that cannot be underestimated."
"Do they obey you?" asked Dowling.
"No, we can't catch them at all." Li Da shook his head and said.
"You said they came here to find out what's going on. What are the chances of that?" Dowling continued to ask.
"More than 50%..." After a moment of silence, Li Da said.
There is more than half a chance that this is already a big problem, and Dolin's expression became a little solemn.
"Don't worry, if something happens, I will reveal my identity to them." Li Da patted Daolin on the shoulder and said, then he lay down and got ready to sleep.
Daolin returned to his tent, had nothing to do, and began to practice cross-legged. The "Everlasting Immortality Technique" is broad and profound, and becomes more and more powerful the further it goes.
Nothing happened all night, the expected battle did not happen, Li Ming shrugged at everyone.
The team continued to set off, aiming in the southwest direction. They were not in a hurry and kept moving at a steady speed.
Several people got acquainted with each other on the road and started chatting with each other about their combat experiences. Dolin listened attentively. He still knew too little about combat, and now was a good learning opportunity.
The team stopped and went. Three days later, it was very peaceful all the way, which made everyone relax. It seemed that the big monkeys were really looking for food.
Less than a day away from the Sichuan Heilongjiang Desert, they stopped. They wanted to take a good rest tonight and be on high alert when entering Sichuan Heilongjiang tomorrow.
"Did I guess wrong?" Li Da said helplessly after dinner.
"I think so. I've been using it to sense the underground these past few days, and I haven't found any abnormalities except for some insects and rats." Li Ziqiang shook his head and said.
"That's good. It saves a lot of trouble." Li Da smiled and lay down on his arms.
On the hills not far behind the team...
"Chief, should we attack them now?" a goblin asked in a low voice.
