Chapter 42 Real Hope

According to Lin Shuang's introduction, the situation in the buckwheat field was better than he had expected.

They saw no traces of carnivorous beasts there, only a small number of giant-horned deer and wild boars eating buckwheat.

Of course, this situation occurs partly because the player's recent large-scale hunting has scared off a large number of other beasts, and partly because of that one tiger.

Obviously, this Ten Thousand Cave Forest is the territory of that tiger. It had patrolled farther afield before, and after recently returning, it scared away other competitors.

——

Then he was killed by Chen Jiu.

Now, the only threat to the buckwheat field is the crampon.

Originally, Chen Jiu wanted to save the crampons for players to use as bosses during the ice wave, but he didn't expect to do it now.

But that’s okay, after all, Buckwheat Field is released as a dungeon, and it doesn’t quite make sense for a dungeon to have no boss.

If Qin Chuan wants to make trouble, let him do it.

For a long time in the future, I will change my job to be a life player, and I will leave all the outside matters to him.

And just when Chen Jiugang killed a tiger and planned to kill another crampon, a fierce quarrel broke out between Lin Wen and the village chief Lin Feng in Xiahe Village.

".They really killed a tiger, and just one person!"

"They are definitely monks. Although they are not too strong now, the future is immeasurable!"

"Now, they have good intentions towards us. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity, we will never have such luck again!"

"You know better than anyone what's going on in Xiahe Village. Ice tides and red tides have occurred time and time again. Compared with when I was a child, the population of Xiahe Village has been reduced by nearly half in the past 40 years!"

"Do you think we can still hold on for 40 years? After this ice tide, or at the latest the next red tide, everyone here will die!"

Lin Wen was so angry that just a few minutes ago, he rushed to Xiahe Village and wanted to chase back the villagers who ran away from the camp. However, unexpectedly, he was blocked by the night watch team led by the village chief.

They did not allow these villagers who had already been driven out of Xiahe Village to go to Wanku Forest because they were worried that it would expose the secret of Xiahe Village's sacred furnace and attract the covetous attention of the leaders.

Are you kidding me?

Do people need your sacred furnace?

They even plan to build a divine furnace themselves!

What's more, at this time, the camp had begun to install a heating system. Lin Wen was amazed by the simple yet sophisticated design that revealed wisdom everywhere.

He was extremely confident that even without the divine furnace, the camp could survive a warmer winter than Xiahe Village.

"I don't care what kind of benefits you have received from them, but if it doesn't work, it doesn't work."

"Yes, according to what you said, they are indeed very powerful, but it is because of their power that we are more dangerous!"

"Do you think Xiahe Village has never encountered such an opportunity? A long time ago, when you were still a naive child, we had contacts with people outside the mountains and asked them to establish a village near Xiahe Village."

"But that interaction almost destroyed Xiahe Village!"

"Before the ice wave arrived, they rushed into Xiahe Village, trying to control the sacred furnace, rushing us into the Ten Thousand Cave Forest, and taking away our food."

"We paid the price of dozens of people to save the sacred furnace."

"Now you go outside the village and take a look. Ten miles to the east is the territory of Hedong Village. Not only the bandits from back then are buried in the land there, but also our tribesmen!"

Lin Feng glared at Lin Wen. He couldn't figure out why these people would join the outside bandits.

——

Yes, in his opinion, the players in Wanku Forest are bandits. They are plundering the resources that should belong to Xiahe Village. One of them even tried to get involved with the Divine Furnace.

Even if they provide food to those villagers, can they get rid of their identity as bandits?

They are just buying people's hearts.

There are no good people on Chijichi. This is the most important thing he learned from childhood to college, and it was also something the previous village chief repeatedly warned when he handed over the position to himself.

No matter how kind a person seems, no matter how many benefits he gives you, in the end, these pie-in-the-sky things will always be taken back one day.

And when that day comes, it will be an irreversible disaster.

"They're not like those bandits - they're not bandits at all!"

Lin Wen still wanted to argue, but Lin Feng had lost his patience.

He raised his hand to interrupt Lin Wen and said:

"You don't need to say any more, I won't accept your suggestion."

"And, since you think they are reliable, then leave Xiahe Village and never come back again."

Hearing this, Lin Wen had a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Actually, we have been abandoned a long time ago, haven't we?"

"When you drove us out of Xiahe Village and sent us to 'hunt' in Ten Thousand Cave Forest, in your hearts, we were already dead, right?"

Lin Feng looked at Lin Wen coldly and replied:

"I'm just forcing you to find a way to survive on your own."

"Even if you don't go to Ten Thousand Cave Forest, you will die in the ice wave."

"If you go, you can have a chance of survival."

"No, you just want our food."

Lin Wen shook his head, his tone becoming calm and indifferent.

"I will leave, and I will never come back."

"This village is old and it will die, taking everyone who lives here with it."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards his home in Xiahe Village, but before he could take two steps, a member of the night watch team blocked his path.

"What do you want to do? Now it's changed to rob in the open, right?"

Lin Wen asked angrily.

"You can take away food, but only half of it."

"I will distribute the rest to other people in need."

"This is your responsibility to Xiahe Village and your offering to the sacred furnace."

Lin Wen's hope for Xiahe Village was finally shattered. At this moment, he truly felt the indifference of this village.

Perhaps, it is not Xiahe Village that is indifferent, but this red land.

But why was the situation so different in that camp?

Those leaders faced no less difficulties than Xiahe Village, but from beginning to end, they always maintained a positivity and generosity that was incomprehensible to them.

Maybe this is the spirit of a monk.

Thinking of this, he said calmly:

"It doesn't matter, just take it as much as you want."

"There is still one month before the ice wave, and the leaders will find a way for us to survive."

Then, he looked around and looked at the villagers who came out of the camp and said:

"As I said, the tiger has been killed by Leader Chen."

"Now, the tiger's head is placed in the middle of the camp. If you don't believe it, you can see it for yourself."

"Come with me and leave Xiahe Village. There is no hope here."

"The real hope is in the Forest of Ten Thousand Caves."
