The wind blew through the grass, revealing dead bones, and the knife marks on the remains seemed to be silently telling the past.
Three ragged wanderers leaned out of the grass and looked at their surroundings vigilantly, their dirty faces full of alertness.
After confirming that there was no danger around them, they hunched over and continued moving forward.
This is a very common scene in the wilderness, but when it comes to these three wanderers, it makes people feel quite awkward.
Compared with the skinny wanderers, these three people look so good!
Even though there was an unmistakable look of exhaustion on their faces, the white and tender skin filled with oil under their skin showed that they had not experienced much famine.
However, the three of them were obviously aware of this, so they used black mud grass juice to continuously smear the exposed flesh. After it dried, they were covered with dark wrinkles.
Doing it so deliberately is obviously hiding something.
Compared with the blank gazes of other wanderers, the gazes of these three people were too sharp.
Walking barefoot on the hard gravel, I felt a stinging sensation from time to time.
This pain will continue until the soles of the feet are numb or thick calluses develop.
Every wanderer in the wilderness has a pair of good feet that cannot be cut by a knife!
A slender wanderer among the three frowned slightly because a hard bone spur stepped into the sole of his foot.
After bending down to pull out the bone spur and squeezing out a trace of blood, the young wanderer couldn't help but murmur.
"You are really asking for trouble. Do we need to do this?"
When the older homeless man among the three heard this, he said in decisive words: "Of course it is necessary, otherwise if we are caught, we will definitely die!"
Among the three people, in addition to the old man and the slender young man, there was also a rough man.
It's just that he always looks dull, but if you observe carefully, you can find a flicker of light in his eyes from time to time.
He is the least talkative of the three, and sometimes he cannot speak a word for a whole day.
But at this moment, he pointed forward and said to the two of them: "Ahead, there is a city of buildings!"
When the old man and the slender young man heard this, they immediately looked in the direction of the dull man's finger. Sure enough, they saw many people walking towards a huge valley.
If you look carefully, you can see the tall city walls and the flow of people passing through the city gates.
The old man looked at it for a while, frowned and said: "It's strange, I passed by this place three years ago, and it was just a barren valley, and the area was not that big.
One of my brothers lives in the valley, why has it turned into a city now?"
"I don't know if my brother is still alive today!"
The old man sighed, shook his head and stopped talking.
Human life is as cheap as grass in the wilderness, and once we are separated, we will never see each other again.
After experiencing too much, your mind becomes tired and you don’t take it seriously.
The slender young man had been running around in the wilderness for a long time, and he had long felt tired. He immediately suggested, "Why don't we go to the building city to have a look and add some supplies?"
The old man and the dull man were as clear as a mirror, knowing that this slender young man had an active and unrestrained temperament. He had been running around in the wilderness for a long time, and he had long been unbearably lonely.
Now that I see this lively place, I can't help but want to join in the fun.
However, as the three of them walked along, the supplies on their bodies had been completely consumed, and they really needed to replenish them.
Thinking of this, the two nodded, and the three of them quickly ran towards the valley.
Before they had gone far, the three of them saw a puff of smoke rising into the sky and heading straight for their location.
Underneath the smoke, an unknown thing was speeding.
Look at the running speed of this thing, it is not inferior to those high-level monsters!
After seeing this, the three of them couldn't help but reach under their robes and grasp the covered sword hilt.
The dull man had sharp eyes. When the speeding object was less than a kilometer away from the three of them, he suddenly said in a deep voice: "There is someone inside this thing, don't act rashly!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the murderous aura in the three men immediately dissipated, and they returned to their previous abject and miserable appearance.
In the blink of an eye, the speeding iron box stopped in front of the three people, and a sturdy Shenglong City soldier with an automatic rifle jumped out of the car.
He walked up to the three of them, took a look at them, and asked, "Where did you three come from, and where are you going?"
Hearing this, the old man quickly replied: "We wandered here from the direction where the sun rises, with no specific destination."
The Holy Dragon City warrior nodded, looked at the three of them again, then jumped into the car and drove away.
Seeing the car disappearing into the wilderness, the old man breathed a sigh of relief.
The dull man stared at the car for a long time before he said anything.
"These people are very dangerous!"
The slender young man heard this and said in a disapproving tone: "Danger, what danger is there?
They are just a few little miscellaneous fish with second-level cultivation, I can take care of them with just a raise of my hand!"
Hearing this, the old man looked at the slender young man, shook his head and sighed: "Your experience is still too shallow, didn't you notice the weapon in the hands of that Loucheng soldier?
That's a repeating musket, a terrifying weapon that even fifth-level monks don't dare to look down upon!
When he walked towards us, there were several identical weapons locked on us in the iron box. Once we showed something was wrong, these Loucheng soldiers would immediately attack us!
Once they launch an attack, the three of us may be in danger!"
After the old man finished saying this, he no longer paid attention to the astonished young man, but looked towards the Holy Dragon City with the dull man.
Those Loucheng soldiers were obviously from this newly emerged Loucheng and were conducting daily patrols.
Being able to equip patrolling soldiers with repeating muskets, the strength of this building cannot be underestimated.
Originally they just wanted to go to Holy Dragon City to replenish supplies, but now they had other thoughts.
Being able to equip ordinary soldiers with repeating muskets means that there must be a huge number of muskets in this city.
If we can get a few repeating muskets from this city, the safety will be greatly improved when we do business in the future.
After all, the three of them are in the business of losing their heads, and they have long wanted to have a powerful weapon for self-defense.
After thinking of this, the two of them ignored the call of the slender young man and immediately ran towards Holy Dragon City.
The slender young man had no choice but to endure the pain of the gravel on his feet and quickly chased after him.
After walking for about half an hour, the three finally arrived at the gate of Holy Dragon City.
Looking at the tall city wall, the three of them were stunned for a moment, and after a vague glance at each other, they prepared to enter the building.
There are gun-wielding Loucheng soldiers at the door to conduct body searches to prevent wanderers from entering Loucheng with hidden weapons. There is also a set of inspection methods for caravans and mercenaries.
The three of them looked at each other again, feeling lucky and happy at the same time.
Fortunately, the weapons had been properly hidden before entering the city. To my surprise, Shenglong City indeed had a large number of repeating muskets, and almost every soldier in Loucheng had one!
In this way, the chance of getting a musket will be greatly increased!
The three of them soon completed the inspection, and followed the surging flow of people into the Shenglong City business district.
