On the first night after treating the Eighth Nameless two as family members, he did not hold anything back. Not only did he teach them the golden light spell to protect their bodies, but he also told them how to improve their energy and spiritual power.
Listening to Second Meng's words, Eighth Wuming was obviously a little suspicious, but thinking that the two of them had never practiced in such a 'luxury' way, of course he already had trust in First Night, so he had no doubts. At this time, he was a little bit He was eager to try it. If he didn't have to go out, he would try it immediately.
"Okay, let's get out of the city quickly." Second Meng urged again.
Without further words, the four of them headed towards the south gate of Luo City on the first night.
Soon a group of four people arrived at the city gate, but when they were about to leave the city, they were stopped by the city guards, who patiently advised them not to venture out.
The people from the city guard used special instruments to detect the realms of the four people on the first night. In their minds, going out in the realm of the four of them was almost as good as seeking death. It was they who persuaded the monks who had no power to protect themselves to return. one of the responsibilities.
However, they had already made up their minds on the first night, and naturally they would not listen to the advice and insisted on going out. This made the people in the city guard sigh. They also knew that "the king of hell can't stop the ghost who wants to die", so they had no choice but to let them go.
It is worth mentioning that on the first night when they were about to leave the city, the people from the city guard told them something - now the tax for monks returning from an outing has doubled, which means that everyone needs to pay when they return to the city. Two second-order crystal souls.
The sudden doubling of taxes made Er Meng quite dissatisfied, but after listening to the explanation from the city guard, she understood - with the increase in the population of Luo City and the frequent attacks by alien beasts on the city, the damage caused to Luo City became more and more serious. As it gets bigger, these require a lot of crystal soul.
Think about it, if a beast tide attacks the city, a large number of alien beasts will cause some damage to the city wall. Maintaining the city wall and activating various defense facilities on the city wall will require a lot of consumption. We have no choice but to increase taxes, otherwise Luo Luo will soon be The city will be unsustainable.
This is for the future development of Luo City, and they can understand Second Meng, and they don't even have any dissatisfaction in their hearts.
"I didn't expect that the taxes would suddenly double. Not only would it be a burden for me, but I would have to pay two more crystals. If I had known, I would have..."
The eighth Wuming blamed himself. He regretted following them out of the city on the first night.
"It's just two second-order alien beast crystals. It's nothing to us. You saw Brother Ye's strength before. We can kill the second-order alien beast easily."
Fourth Qingwu consoled her. Seeing that Eighth Wuming's expression improved, she continued: "What's more, it is very important for you to find a natal beast. After you find your natal beast, you can stay at home and practice."
Having seen the strength of easily resisting the drone attack on the first night, and of course knowing how important it is for him to find his natal beast, Eighth Wuming no longer hesitated, but he had already recorded this 'account' in his mind , he is ready to repay it double when he becomes stronger.
After leaving the city, Ermeng was obviously a little excited. She looked around and looked around carefully. Of course, she was even more eager to see what was ahead.
On the first night, I turned around and looked at Luo City. The tall city walls were mottled, with dark red blood stains faintly visible in many places. The ground in front of the city exuded a strong smell of blood. These all showed the power of the beast tide to attack the city. Tragic, of course, further illustrates that human survival is still very difficult.
Fourth Qingwu and the others also followed the eyes of the first night and saw the strange things on the city wall and in front of the city. They had the same emotion in their hearts, and they understood the tax increase better.
It is worth mentioning that the land in front of the city wall of Luo City is made up of several layers of stone slabs, stretching to a few hundred meters away from the city wall. Because of the existence of the stone slabs, no plants grow on the land, and there are people who specially clean it, so even Some grasses can't be seen either.
The reason why several layers of stone slabs are used to cover the ground is naturally because trees cannot grow in front of the city wall, because alien beasts are likely to sneak into the city silently using the cover of trees and various plants, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the danger to humans in the city.
After the Earth was hit, the oxygen content of the new Earth increased a lot, and the oceans were several times wider than before, resulting in a warm and humid climate. This caused all kinds of vegetation on the Earth to grow wildly. Towering trees can be seen almost everywhere. There is no shortage of lush vegetation on the new Earth. The same is true in the jungles, including in front of Luocheng.
In order to prevent the jungle from approaching Luo City and allowing alien beasts to take advantage of it, it is necessary to clear the grass and trees in front of Luo City. Therefore, several layers of stone slabs are stacked to prevent the growth of grass and trees. Even so, specialized monks are needed to clean up those stubborn trees. Growing vegetation.
It is said that the stone slabs in front of Luo City have a total of fifteen layers, seven horizontally and eight vertically, staggered, and this also greatly prevents vegetation from spreading out. Although this project is extremely large, it is for the sake of greater safety for the monks in the city. It's worth it.
Of course, this requires a lot of manpower and inability, which is one of the reasons why monks who leave the city need to pay taxes, especially to maintain and repair these stone slabs regularly.
"Hey, why are so many people cutting down trees?"
The second dream saw many humans cutting down trees in the distance, and many monks carrying stones from a distance to replace the damaged slates, which made him puzzled.
"It is undoubtedly dangerous to be approached by jungle vegetation against the city wall. Because alien beasts can approach quietly, a large number of humans are needed to repair the stone slabs. Of course, they also need to cut down nearby trees as much as possible. The more empty the surrounding area, the safer the city will be." Fourth Light Wu explained.
"Oh, that's it."
The second dream suddenly dawned on her, and she looked at the monks with eyes full of admiration: "These people are so great, they are willing to work hard for the safety of mankind..."
"Sister Meng, these, these are people who cannot afford to pay taxes."
The eighth nameless person explained weakly: "The monks who can't pay taxes can't let them enter the city, nor can they be locked up, nor can they be killed, so the best way is to let them work and maintain the city. The slates and the clearing of weeds and trees are a huge project that requires a lot of manpower. If we can't hunt enough exotic animals, then we will join the ranks of these people."
"Well, this is a more reasonable approach."
The second dream suddenly realized, feeling Wuming's worry, she smiled and said: "Don't worry, sister said that she will protect you, and she will never let you do hard work here."
Seeing Ermeng acting like a big sister, the two of them were very amused on the first night, but they also knew that with her current strength, she could still say such a thing - with Ermeng's strength, she could easily kill the second-level alien. Beasts, even if there are no third-level or even more powerful beasts coming towards her, she can easily deal with them, even if there are a lot of them.
