"What's the matter? Lili is going to cry in a hurry?"
As soon as the group of people left the village a few hundred meters away, Chen Yao couldn't help teasing them.
"No...no! I just...ah! Brother Yao is so bad! Ignore you!"
The girl gave Chen Yao a gentle hammer and then ran to her sister's side.
"It's your first time traveling far away. It's inevitable that you'll have some emotions. It's okay, Yue Li. If he gets hurt later, just leave him alone."
Yun Xi glanced sideways at Chen Yao and said calmly.
"Yeah! I don't care about that bad guy!"
Qiu Yueli hid behind her sister and made a face.
Oops! Chen Yao's heart skipped a beat. Isn't this the end?
"Hmm... Lili, um... I'll make delicious food for you when we hunt the exotic beasts! Don't..."
"Eh? What's the matter? Brother Yao, who is not afraid of anything, won't be afraid anymore~ In this case... Humph, let's see how you behave! Hehe!"
Yue Li jumped out from behind her sister and put her hands behind her back. She tilted her face and head, pretending to be confused.
This ghost girl, alas... Chen Yao felt so angry that his teeth itched in his heart.
When Yun Xi wasn't paying attention, Chen Yao grabbed Qiu Yueli's catkins with his left hand and pulled her to his side, fearing that she really didn't care about him.
"Ahem... stay closer to me. I can protect you if anything happens!"
Chen Yao said seriously.
"Huh? But I think Brother Xiaohu is more..."
"Okay, let's get on our way!"
Chen Yao interrupted directly and pulled the girl to leave.
"Hee! I know, I know..."
Unknowingly, we have walked three kilometers outside the village. This is the boundary of the farming area of Heiyuan Village. The three kilometers around Heiyuan Village are basically vast rye fields. From time to time, we will meet a few villagers working in the fields and ask for help. They said hello.
A few hundred places ahead, there is a continuous black forest of snake trees. This is the natural protective barrier of Heiyuan Village, and most dangerous beasts are kept out.
A path split the snakewood forest in half in the middle. This was the only way for villagers to go out to explore, but at this time there was a faint mixed smell in the air.
A few steps further, in the open space between the rye field and the snake bush, two huge buildings stood.
"Ah! This is the exhaust fan that Grandpa Qingshan told me about! This is the first time I have seen it."
Qiu Yueli looked up at the big guy in front of her.
Their overall shape is two circular turbines several meters high, which are placed in two large pits and reinforced on solid land with stones and snakewood vines to maintain their stability.
"Grandpa Qingshan said that these are two... um... turbines that were disassembled from the wreckage of a spaceship that the former village chief encountered in the Black Abyss garbage dump about a hundred stars ago. That seems to be the name. "
Yue Li nodded her lips and said thoughtfully.
"I know the former village chief. His name is Jiang Stewed Beef. His weird skill seems to be called Primary Invention Mastery, so he likes to invent and experiment... I like the notes he left the most. Yes, I’ve basically read it all.”
Chen Yao responded.
"Yes, yes! Look! The thing Uncle Wang is stepping on is the invention of the previous village chief! It's called a pedal generator!"
"As long as someone keeps stepping on it, the exhauster will keep running! This is the most advanced thing in Black Abyss Village! Unfortunately, the wooden parts are easy to break. My father spends a lot of time making it every year!"
Everyone turned around after hearing this and saw two villagers, a man and a woman, stepping hard on the pedals. One of them was clearly Lao Wang, whom they had just met a few days ago. There were two such generators in front of the two exhausters. , only one exhauster is operating at this time.
"Huh...huh...huh? It's you little guys. Are you ready to go out? Ouch, these two little girls look so cool in these outfits! Tsk tsk... Ouch ouch... it hurts!"
Lao Wang turned his head and greeted everyone warmly, but before he could finish speaking, his ear was grabbed by Widow Chen on the side.
"Step on you! What are you looking at! Oh, if you want to go out, don't forget to wear a towel! It stinks outside!"
Although Widow Chen has triangular eyes, she is quite warm-hearted.
"Ah! Thank you Aunt Chen! I almost forgot! Brother Yao, did you... forget to prepare a face towel?"
Qiu Yueli suddenly said urgently.
"Well...this...where did I get the face towel? I don't know how to make it!"
Chen Yaoli is brave even if he is not straightforward.
"I knew Brother Yao was careless! Fortunately, my mother prepared a lot for me. Come! Each face towel has a little bit of wild parsley powder sewn into it. It's fragrant and has a detoxifying effect!"
Yue Li stood on tiptoes and put a scarf on Chen Yao, then put it on herself.
"Thank you Lili, Lili is so nice!" Chen Yao fanned in front of him, which seemed to have eliminated the stench.
"Hehe! Father has prepared it for me too!"
Jiang Hu took out a face towel and put it on. Qiu Yunxi also wiped it with his left hand and put it on quickly.
Because garbage accumulates all year round in the garbage dump outside Heiyuan Village, the smell is suffocating for several kilometers around the garbage dump. Although it is not toxic, long-term inhalation of such air will still have an impact on the body.
The village is a certain distance from the garbage dump, and the terrain of the village is higher than that of the garbage dump, but there will still be a small amount of stench. If the village chief did not make these two exhaust fans, the people living in Heiyuan Village would I don’t know how many more years I will be troubled.
Saying goodbye to Old Wang and Widow Chen, they plunged into the trail in the snake forest.
"There are people walking on this path all year round, so there is no danger."
Chen Yao looked around and said, there were basically no footprints or feces of strange animals.
"It doesn't matter if we go out, we're almost there, huh?"
After only walking for about a few hundred meters, the surrounding snake trees gradually became sparse. Qiu Yunxi suddenly ran quickly and disappeared in front of everyone. This speed made Chen Yao stunned.
After a while, Chen Yao and others also arrived at the edge of the Snake Wood Forest. Yun Xi had already turned his back to them and was waiting here.
"this...."
Chen Yao and the others were also stunned. What kind of scene was in front of them! Looking from a distance, countless white beams of light fall from top to bottom on the endless black land, accompanied by bursts of beast roars and insect chirping, it seems to be a vibrant scene.
Of course, it might be a better situation if there weren't those stinky mountains of garbage.
"This is the Black Abyss garbage dump. It's beautiful, isn't it?"
Qiu Yunxi did not turn around.
"Adults have never said that this place is like this. It is brighter here than in the village. I thought it was also pitch black...well...and it seems like the village is actually built on a mountain!"
Qiu Yueli tilted her head.
Yes, the place where the group of people were standing was a small open space outside the Snake Wood Forest. Beyond that was a slope of about 40 degrees, with a vertical height of about 200 meters from below. Only by going down this slope could you reach the garbage Field edge.
"How big is this garbage dump...?"
Chen Yao asked subconsciously.
"I don't know. The maximum vertical exploration distance of the garbage dump in the history of the village is 30 kilometers. But did you know that this garbage dump was formed by the dumping of garbage from several forces on Planet 631 for 500 years?"
Qiu Yunxi responded coldly.
"Tsk. I don't know how much we can explore in seven days." Chen Yao responded with his mouth smacking.
"Okay, okay! Let's go down quickly! We're here after descending this slope! Hmm...where should we explore?"
Qiu Yueli was slightly excited.
Going down the slope, the road extends towards the garbage dump on both sides. On one side, it goes along the wall of the black abyss. You can not only mine minerals, but also rummage through the nearby garbage dumps. Along the side of the abyss wall, you can also avoid Garbage dumping at Yuan Ding resulted in casualties.
On the other side is a small road near the edge of the Endless Abyss. Although it is close, it is still several kilometers away from the Endless Abyss. The entrance of this road is covered with snakewood vines. It is obvious that no one has walked on it for a long time.
"Well... everyone basically walks along the Yuanbi road, brother, otherwise we..."
"Go the other way."
Xiaohu scratched his head and was interrupted before he finished speaking.
Chen Yao raised his feet and was about to go downhill.
"Have you really thought it through? You can't even awaken! Is this what you promised my mother to protect me and Yue Li? Ugh!"
Qiu Yunxi's particularly harsh question came from behind.
Chen Yao's hand tightened into a fist, and the fingertip joints creaked.
"Huh...Yunxi, listen to me. I have made preparations. If the situation gets worse, we should be able to escape unscathed. What I want is that there will be more opportunities in places where few people explore... "
Chen Yao exhaled and loosened his clenched fists.
"There will be more dangers too!"
"Yes..." Chen Yao couldn't deny it.
"Don't you really understand? We are a team, a whole. Any wrong decision you make may put all of us in danger!"
Qiu Yunxi's eyes were a little cold at the moment, his chest kept rising and falling, and he was obviously a little angry.
"Don't be angry yet. I chose this side for a reason. What we need most now is to grow up faster in order to protect the village and everyone. If we are not strong enough, something like Li Tiejiang will happen again or worse. What’s the situation?”
What Chen Yao said was reasonable and well-founded, and Yun Xi didn't know how to refute it for a while.
"Look at this, this is what I prepared for."
Chen Yao took out his masterpiece, four large firecrackers, from the binding ring.
"What is this?" Qiu Yunxi asked doubtfully as most of his anger had subsided.
"I refer to the stuff I made in ancient books. This is called a firecracker. Look! Light this fuse and throw it out. It will explode after a few seconds. It has a certain power and a loud sound. Let's call it... Be the king."
Chen Yao explained.
"Ah! Isn't this very dangerous?" Qiu Yueli exclaimed.
"Of course there will be some, but its main function is to make a lot of noise, and the power is secondary."
"This thing has never appeared under the Black Abyss, including the entire history of Black Abyss Village, so the alien beasts under the Black Abyss will not recognize this thing, so even if there is a group of dangerous alien beasts on the opposite side, they will do this. Things were scared away.”
"I made four in total, so let's take one each for self-defense."
After Chen Yao introduced his masterpiece, he was ready to distribute it, and planned to keep the smallest test item for himself.
"Yeah! Give it to me? No... no no no, I don't want it! I'm scared!"
Yue Li hid behind her sister and shrank her neck.
"Brother, look, my hands are not empty when I fight, so I don't want them anymore!"
Jiang Hu smiled.
"I don't need it, keep it yourself."
Before handing it over, Yun Xi said coldly.
"All right..."
Chen Yao touched his nose in embarrassment and put King Wang back into the ring.
"Let's go."
Qiu Yunxi didn't say much and walked directly downhill. Chen Yao knew that she acquiesced to his choice.
"Maybe there will be some dangers on this road, but after I awaken, it will definitely be!..." Chen Yao thought to himself.
Pulling Yue Li, Chen Yao quickly followed Yun Xi, and Xiao Hu followed closely. After a while, the group entered the periphery of the Heiyuan garbage dump.
What you can see is mountains and patches of garbage, pots and pans, discarded clothes, and filth everywhere. The stench in the air is several times stronger than outside the village. From time to time, there are also huge rats and mice. The rabid dogs were scurrying around, but none of them noticed the people dozens of meters away.
Qiu Yunxi's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she took off the wooden bow from her back and held it tightly in her hand.
"Sister Yunxi, what's wrong?"
Qiu Yunxi's change made Xiaohu a little nervous. He took out the hammer from his waist and held it tightly, bowing his upper body slightly.
Chen Yao was the last to react.
"Black rats and rabid dogs are the most common strange beasts in the Black Abyss garbage dump. They are accustomed to taking certain areas of the garbage dump as their own territory. The exploring teams passing by the Black Abyss Village are often attacked by them, but they are not very dangerous. "
Qiu Yunxi curled his left hand back, touching the tail feathers of the quiver behind him, and said warily.
"That big rat...it's...so big!"
Qiu Yueli's two small hands worked hard to draw a length of about half a meter.
"Black rats and rabies live in garbage dumps all year round and carry countless germs with them. But the most terrifying thing is their habit of living in groups. They usually move in groups. Let's go over there quickly."
Yun Xi looked forward and tapped the road to the right of everyone with his chin. At the end was the path that Chen Yao had chosen before, which was overgrown with weeds and covered with snake trees and vines.
Several people held their breath and cautiously moved to the right, facing the garbage dump.
A black rat stopped biting the carrion in front of it. It seemed that it was full. It slowly raised its head...
"Squeak!!" "Oops!"
At this moment, Qiu Yunxi's screams and the screams of the black rat sounded at the same time, and then another black rat on the side ran towards the few people with it, and the speed was no less than that of an adult running at full speed!
"Ah! They are coming! What to do!!" Yue Li hid behind Chen Yao in panic.
"Listen to me! Back off! Let's retreat to the hillside. It's very close to the garbage dump. We're afraid of attracting its kind!"
Chen Yao spoke calmly.
"Let's go!" Qiu Yunxi acted first, followed by several others.
After a few people managed to run only thirty meters, Chen Yao turned around and was surprised! At this time, the two black rats were less than ten meters away from the group. Xiaohu was hanging behind the team due to his heavy equipment. Chenyao was slightly ahead of Xiaohu.
"Huh... Huh... Xiaohu! Quick! Set up a shield! Turn around! Take a step to the right!"
Chen Yao turned around and got into a fighting stance and said hurriedly.
Yun Xi also turned around, raised his bow, took out the arrow, aimed, and shot in one go.
"Whoosh!"
But this arrow was empty!
This has something to do with the fact that the black rat is moving quickly, there is a slope on the slope, and the black rat is lying on the ground with all four limbs when running. It is not a problem with Yun Xi's accuracy.
After Jiang Hu turned around and took out his shield, the two black rats were less than three meters away from him, but their targets were clearly the three people behind Jiang Hu!
With a strong breath, Jiang Hu took a big step away from Chen Yao, and then suddenly piled the shield on the ground!
"Bang!!" A black rat hit the little tiger's shield firmly. The other black rat, which was running slightly slower, suddenly stopped and squeaked, then walked around Jiang Hu, and was obviously preparing to attack. Yue Li beside me! !
"Bang! Click! Squeak!!" Without enough time to react, Jiang Hu raised his shield and slammed it at the confused black rat in front of him. Suddenly, bone cracks and screams sounded at the same time!
Chen Yao also reacted quickly, held Qiu Yueli back, stepped forward and kicked the charging black rat!
"Zhizhi!" The black rat staggered after being kicked, and Chen Yao was about to make up for it with a sword blow.
"Chi! Zha!"
When Chen Yao reacted, an arrow had already stabbed into the black rat's head.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak.”
Chen Yao turned around and saw Yun Xi putting down the bow in his hand and standing proudly.
It has to be said that in terms of temperament, Heiyuan Village is definitely the best in the past.
"What are you still looking at! Why don't you go help Xiaohu!" Qiu Yunxi scolded in a sweet voice.
Chen Yao slapped his forehead! Oops! I was so distracted that Xiaohu even forgot about it!
