Chapter Two Hundred and One People(1/2)
"Brother, you can't move forward any more!"
Near the ice field, two small figures were in a stalemate.
The bigger one was a boy, wearing clothes made of animal skins and carrying a bamboo basket. The straw sandals on his feet had already broken several big holes. At this time, his face was full of firmness: "If you don't go to the Ice Valley Wasteland, how can you pick up enough medicinal materials to treat my father, and pay the tribute from the city lord?"
"It's too dangerous there. It's an unfinished land. Poisonous insects and ferocious beasts will kill you!"
A little girl held his arm tightly, and tears were already in her big watery eyes.
"Let go!"
The boy had made up his mind and pursed his lips.
"I won't let it go!"
The little girl insisted, and the two of them tangled for a while. The boy finally became impatient. With a raised hand, the girl staggered and fell to the ground.
"Of course I know the danger deep in the Ice Valley, but if I can't hand over the offerings, how can our family be embarrassed to stay in the village?!"
The young man said in a deep voice: "If we don't have the protection of the village formation, we will all die!"
“Woo woo…”
The little girl naturally knew about this and sat on the ground and cried.
"Axian, don't worry, I still have some understanding of the Death Wasteland, and I have practiced martial arts, so I am still sure!"
The boy comforted him and said, and as soon as his face turned right, he would embark on an unknown way to fight for his life.
But at this moment, his steps suddenly stopped.
Because in the sight, a huge black shadow gradually walked out of the wasteland.
It was a giant white tiger like a hill, with black markings on its body like chains, with a mysterious smell.
"Roar!"
It leaped with a tiger and glanced at it casually. The young girl was unable to move and was shocked by the tiger's power and lost her mind.
‘Too…too powerful…’
The boy's legs kept shaking, but a voice roared in his heart: "It's just on the border that makes me unable to resist. Is this the horror of the Ice Field? No wonder the village has never allowed us to go out in darkness, and he has handed us over to the city lord for offerings every year to maintain the formation..."
Step! Step!
As the giant tiger approached, the cold sweat on the boy's forehead became increasingly gathering, his teeth were clenched, but he couldn't even say a word.
Huh!
He could barely stand, but the little girl Axian next to him was trembling with her teeth, and a smell of urine came from her crotch.
At this time, the white tiger, like a demon, lowered its head, revealed the figure behind it, and opened its mouth and said something strange.
Although I didn't understand, after the other party spoke, the originally solemn atmosphere disappeared.
It seemed that the surroundings came from the cold winter to spring, and the heart-wrenching tiger power disappeared without a trace.
"grown ups!"
Those who can subdue such a ferocious beast must be an amazing warrior. The young man quickly saluted with a respectful expression.
"Hmm? Who are you?"
Listening to the boy's previous words, Fang Yuan's eyelids jumped.
The language spoken by the other party was not the original Mandarin language on the mainland, but was very similar to the common language of Daqian!
As for why he said Da Qian?
Before, in Yang Fan's dream, he had already practiced this skill.
But even if there is no, it doesn’t matter. For a dreamer, it’s just a matter of dreaming to learn a foreign language quickly.
"The little man is a villager from nearby Panshi Village. Yu Jian, this is my sister Axian!"
Yu Jian quickly saluted and said stutteringly.
"Panshi Village?"
The adult on the tiger's back seemed more and more confused: "There are many people here? Where are they?"
Yu Jian was nervous and his words suddenly became even more stuttering.
After his stumbling explanation, Fang Yuan understood it.
‘Nearby, there are actually humans living together, and they are divided into a large number of villages, and the core is Xingluo City!’
‘And, this speaking style and etiquette all have the shadow of a big fight. Could it be the remnant of a big fight?’
Under the White Tiger, the young man Yu Jian was also secretly looking at the adult.
‘If you dress so luxuriously, you must be a noble man from the city!’
In the knowledge of the little boy, the only world he usually comes into contact with is his own village, and Xingluocheng is the center of the whole world. I can't imagine how wide the outside world is.
"Take me to your village!"
Fang Yuan pondered for a while and spoke directly.
Looking at the boy's hesitation, he couldn't help but say, "You are carrying a bamboo basket of medicine hoes, are you going to collect medicine? I hire you as my guide, this is a reward!"
As he said that, with a wave of his hand, the flower with a bowl size, pure white petals and bright red stamens fell down.
"Snow lotus and red stamens flower?"
Yu Jian exclaimed, rushed forward and carefully picked it up, almost speechless.
Although this was something Fang Yuan picked casually, it was the hope of the whole family for him!
"As for orders, sir, I will take you there immediately!"
He wiped his tears, put away the medicinal materials, pulled up his sister Axian, and bowed respectfully.
The little girl was still dull, but her brother didn't have to take risks, but she was sure. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Her big black eyes looked at the giant tiger curiously.
"Thank you for your hard work, you can go!"
Fang Yuan took out a piece of barbecue, stuffed it to the ice saber-toothed tiger, and sent it away.
For him now, a spiritual beast that has not been able to break through the realm of Juyuan has indeed only used the transportation tool.
Moreover, this beast is too silly. Now that it has arrived at the human settlement, it is better to let it go free.
"Woooooo!"
The ice saber-toothed tiger swallowed the barbecue in one bite, and then reluctantly rubbed Fang Yuan's palm with his head. Finally, under his urging, he roared and returned to the ice field, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
"Sir, is this your spirit beast?"
Yu Jian looked at this scene with envy in his eyes.
"Spiritual beast? It's barely true, but it's not something I raised, it's just about getting what I need..."
Fang Yuan smiled and shook his head, looking at the young man with a skin.
Although this person has no knowledge, his martial arts skills have reached the level of internal breath in the fifth level, which is very good.
“Lead ahead!”
Thinking of this, he made a move without hesitation, and seemed to chat casually, placing the words of the boy.
After all, the other party has no grudge against him, so he has to search for his memory for no reason, but he really can't do it.
Moreover, with the knowledge of this young man, he may not know more.
Yu Jian led the way, and not long after, a simple village appeared before him.
It's really pretty simple!
Fang Yuan was speechless. The so-called village was just a flat ground, with dozens of building clusters like round buns, built extremely firmly, with half of the space even deeper into the ground.
Such a structure is not only able to resist wind and cold, but also very strong enough to withstand ordinary hazards.
Of course, in terms of beauty, you can't expect too much.
In fact, for most villagers, struggling on the brink of life and death is the norm, so there is no mood to consider these things.
However, around this village, Fang Yuan's eyes flashed and he found a difference: "Spiritual pattern? No... this is...the spiritual formation! Although it is very crude, it is indeed a formation! Unexpectedly, there is a formation master here!"
"grown ups?"
Perhaps because of the long time of attention, Yu Jian next to him suddenly asked nervously: "But what is the problem with the village protection formation in this village?"
"Who arranged this formation?"
Fang Yuan asked directly.
"Of course it's the formation master of Xingluo City!"
Although it felt a little strange, Yu Jian still couldn't think about it: "Every year, our village would offer a large amount of food, spiritual medicine, and animal skins to Xingluo City in exchange for the formation master to come to maintain this rock formation. With it, it would be enough to resist ferocious beasts at night and could also defend against the severe cold. If the offerings are not paid in full, the entire village would be in a catastrophe..."
When he said this, his fists clenched, obviously making up his mind: "I must become a city man and take my father and sister to the city to enjoy the happiness!"
"Star falls in the city?"
