The Southern Wasteland is vast and boundless, and most of the human races in the ancient world live here.
Although the resources here are poor and the spiritual energy is thin, the advantage is that it is safe and will not be oppressed by monks of all races.
Xu Changge walked along a river towards the depths of the Southern Wilderness. If mortals want to survive, they must live by water, and water sources are indispensable.
More than ten days later, Xu Changge's consciousness noticed that there were people thousands of miles ahead, and he quickened his pace.
The smoke from the cooking pot curled up and drifted into the distance with the breeze.
Xu Changge passed through several mountains and came to a human tribe. After a casual glance, he estimated that there were more than 500 families living in the tribe, about 2,000 people.
Mud walls were built around the tribe, and hundreds of strong men holding iron tools guarded the gate of the tribe. Every once in a while, a lookout tower was built inside the mud wall to see what was going on outside the wall.
.If there is an enemy invasion, you can tell the people in the tribe as soon as possible to prepare for defense.
As soon as Xu Changge appeared, he was spotted by a guard from an observation tower: "An outsider is coming!"
Xu Changge refined the origin of the dragon marrow and concealed the aura of the human race. Even if the Mahayana sage used various magical powers in person, he could not identify Xu Changge's human identity and could only assume that Xu Changge was a branch of the dragon clan.
Of course, Xu Changge can suppress the dragon karma on his body and show the aura of the human race.
In order to better understand the human race here, Xu Changge dressed up in disguise and concealed the original aura of the dragon marrow.
"Who are you?"
The gate is a huge wooden gate, about five meters high. A team of guards stood on the mud wall, looking down at Xu Changge below, nervously.
"I'm a human, my name is Xu An, and I ended up living here for some reasons."
Xu Changge was dressed a bit in a mess, with his face covered in mud and his clothes in tatters.
"Wait." The guards did not dare to open the door easily for fear of causing trouble.
A quarter of an hour later, an elderly human race man stood on the city wall, took a good look at Xu Changge, and nodded lightly: "Looking at him, he shouldn't be a spy from the enemy tribe. For safety reasons, he will be arranged
In the East Campus, if there is any problem, we can also make corresponding countermeasures."
"Yes, clan elder." The guards saluted and slowly opened the door.
The elders of the human tribe have a little bit of cultivation, which is not enough to be considered in the world, and they are not even considered as ants. However, for the human race in the ancient world, they are already masters.
"Your name is Xu An, right? If you cooperate honestly, the Dayuan tribe is willing to take you in and give you a bite to eat. If you have ulterior motives, be careful not to save your life."
A burly man walked up to Xu Changge and threatened.
"Yes." Xu Changge nodded slightly, indicating that he would definitely cooperate.
Dayuan Tribe, Dongyuan.
There are about a hundred people living here, all of whom are members of the same clan that the Dayuan tribe has recently taken in. The supervision in the east courtyard is very strict, and a tribe elder is in charge to prevent accidents.
People who come to the east courtyard must not leave unless they are sure that there is no threat.
Xu Changge concealed his own cultivation. With the strength of the Dayuan tribe, it was impossible to see through its strength.
Living in the east courtyard, Xu Changge had to cooperate with the inspection.
After a month of busy back and forth, the Dayuan tribe used various methods to detect Xu Changge's human identity and confirmed that Xu Changge was a compatriot and had no relationship with the enemy tribe.
In this way, Xu Changge was released from the East Courtyard. He could find an open space in the Dayuan tribe and let the clan members help build a house. He could return the favor later when he was able.
"Xu An, where did you come from?"
A twelve-year-old girl was helping Xu Changge build a simple thatched house and was very curious about the world outside the tribe. Since the girl was born, she has never seen the scenery outside the mud wall.
"A place far away."
Xu Changge was wearing a black coarse cloth dress with more than ten patches sewn on it and a few strips of cloth on the cuffs. Hearing the little girl's question, Xu Changge looked at the sky and said softly.
"Very far? How far?"
The little girl has dark skin and her hands are covered with calluses. Despite her young age, she is very strong.
"There are a thousand, ten thousand tribes as far away as that."
Xu Changge didn't know how to explain it, so he tried his best to use words that the little girl could understand.
"Wow! That's really far!"
The little girl and the people working nearby all showed curious eyes and looked into the distance, full of expectation.
Soon, the light in everyone's eyes dimmed, because they probably would not be able to leave the tribe in their lifetime, let alone take a look further away.
"Do you want to see the outside world?"
Xu Changge caught the look of regret in everyone's eyes, stepped forward, rubbed the little girl's head, and asked softly.
"I think." The little girl nodded heavily: "I sometimes dream, imagining myself sleeping on the clouds and going to swim in the sea recorded in the book."
"When the house is built, I will give you a gift."
Xu Changge looked at the thatched house that was about to be completed and made a promise.
"Really?" When she heard that there was a gift, the little girl's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Of course." Xu Changge nodded.
"The hook is like a puppy."
The little girl stretched out the little finger of her right hand with a serious look on her face.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Xu Changge made an agreement with the little girl Lagou.
Two hours later, a simple thatched house was successfully built.
By this time, it was getting late, and every household was preparing to light a fire for cooking.
"Xu An, do you want to come to my house for a meal?"
The little girl looked at Xu Changge and extended the invitation with some hesitation. There was not much food at home, and if Xu Changge were allowed to come over for dinner, her mother and father would definitely scold her.
However, the little girl couldn't bear to see Xu Changge hungry, thinking that the worst she could do was to be scolded by her parents.
"No, you can go back first! Come over tomorrow morning and I will give you the gift."
Xu Changge declined the little girl's kindness.
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Since Xu Changge rejected the offer, the little girl didn't insist anymore and turned around to go back.
The next day, the first ray of sunlight broke through the clouds and shone on the ground of the Dayuan tribe, causing people in the tribe to get up one after another.
The little girl thought about the gift all night and couldn't sleep all night. Early this morning, the little girl ran to the door of Xu Changge's thatched house and gently knocked on the door: "Xu An, are you awake?"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The little girl wanted to wait a little longer, but she couldn't restrain her inner expectation and kept knocking on the extremely simple wooden door.
"Stop knocking."
Xu Changge's voice came from inside the house.
After a while, Xu Changge opened the wooden door and held a book in his hand.
