In Sanmu Town, two of the trees are right next to Xu Guangling and the others, while the other tree is alone in the field of vision in front of the three of them.
A relatively short red fruit tree, about the height of Xu Guangling and three other people with their hands stretched out.
The red fruit tree, at this moment, neither bloomed nor bore fruit, and stood there inconspicuously.
And around that tree, there are some houses scattered, yes, extremely scattered, in a haphazard manner, probably hundreds of households.
Judging from the situation, this town probably only has a few hundred people, probably less than a thousand.
"Why are their houses so scattered?" Ji Feiyan said a little strangely.
It's just scattered, especially the directions are completely inconsistent, and there are openings (doors) in any direction, but overall, from a large perspective, it forms a circle around the red fruit tree in the middle.
"Underground, there are many caves."
Tai Cang Yue said.
"The earth rat is probably not a ferocious beast, but it is extraordinary."
Xu Guangling said.
Although the distribution of houses above the ground is messy, the caves under the ground are even more messy, but they extend in all directions. Among them, there are many rodents, some as big as rabbits and some as small as normal field mice.
Many of them are vicious in appearance and are not a good idea at first glance.
"Who are you?" a voice shouted.
Immediately, two big men with bayonet guns came over.
They were discovered.
"Gao Mu Tong, Gao Mu Tie, stand down!"
Before the two big men came closer, another scolding came, with a bit of panic in their tone.
Then an old man who looked about fifty came to Xu Guangling and the others like a gust of wind, clasped his fists and said: "May I ask where the angels come from?"
Angel?
Xu Guangling and the three of them exchanged glances.
"Is this Sanmu Town?" Xu Guangling asked rhetorically without answering.
"Exactly!"
"Go in and talk." Xu Guangling turned his back on guests and walked towards the center of the town, which was the red fruit tree.
The old man and the two big men followed carefully behind the three of them.
"Are there any guest rooms in the town?" After walking a few steps, Xu Guangling turned his head slightly and asked calmly.
"Yes, yes!" The old man woke up from a dream, "Several angels, please follow me."
Soon, the scene that happened in the previous village at noon was repeated in this small town, except that the other party was changed from villagers to townspeople, and the same thing was that many people from the town gathered together.
"Oh my god, did you see the mangrove fruits? So many mangrove fruits!"
There was more than one unbelievable exclamation.
And some people, looking at the mangrove fruits and then at the basket containing the mangrove fruits, their eyes suddenly straightened. They probably recognized that the basket containing the mangrove fruits was actually made from the red fruit tree.
…
branch?
No, not branches!
That is the obvious trunk and even the heart of the tree!
Really, many people's eyes were straight, and they even had signs of cramps.
There are also many people with distorted faces.
How is this possible?
How is this possible!
Naturally, the suppressed exclamations and changes in facial expressions of those around them were clearly visible to Xu Guangling and the others. Ji Feiyan glanced at Xu Guangling again, not sure whether it was praise or reproach.
Xu Guangling himself was a little bit dumbfounded.
A random act led to such an unexpected reaction.
The surprise in the small village before was nothing more than that, after all, it was just a small village, and the same is true in this town now. It is obvious that the weight of the mangrove fruit or red fruit tree is much heavier in this area than they thought.
Some.
"Old man, what do you call me?"
After both parties sat down, Xu Guangling asked the old man.
This old man is also a cultivator, but his cultivation level is only in the Aperture Realm, and he is far, far away from the Aperture Realm.
"Angel is so proud of you! I'm so old and talentless. I don't dare to be called an old man. I don't dare! I'm old and tall, Mu Jin. Angel, you can just call me Lao Jin!" The old man had just sat down and stood up again with fear.
He couldn't help but be frightened.
He couldn't even see through the cultivation of the three angels opposite!
This can only mean that others are at a higher level than him.
If they are both in the enlightenment realm, even if the other person's cultivation is deeper than his, or even much deeper, he still won't be like now, unable to see anything.
what does that mean?
It means that he is at least a high-ranking third-level cultivator!
He is in the third grade, but he looks so young. He is obviously at the level of returning to basics and taking part in nature!
This kind of knowledge made the old man dare not even take a breath.
"I have nothing important to do on this trip." Xu Guangling said lightly, vaguely responding to the old man's previous question of where the angel came from, "Old Jin, could you please introduce the situation of the surrounding towns?
.”
"yes!"
The old man did not sit down, but stood there, speaking to Xu Guangling and the other three in a formal and respectful manner.
[Get a copy of the incomplete map of Tianhu Grassland.]
Well, this is not a hint from the celestial eye.
The old man's narration finally gave Xu Guangling and the other two people, who had been walking in this grassland for many days, a rough idea of where they were.
This grassland is called Tianhu Grassland.
As the name suggests, there should be a lake called "Tianhu" on this grassland, or there may be many lakes of extraordinary significance.
The place where they are now is called Sanmu Town. The nearest city to Sanmu Town is more than a thousand miles away, called "Jumu City". Sanmu Town is a subordinate town of Jumu City, and as far as the old man knows, Jumu City
The number of subordinate villages and towns is at least one hundred.
…
Xu Guangling occasionally interrupted and added some questions, but most of the time he just listened quietly.
The old man's introduction was almost finished, but at this moment, a loud shout came from outside: "Those beasts are out to cause trouble again!"
There was a panic indoors and outdoors.
"Angel, little old man..."
"Let's go out and take a look." Xu Guangling also stood up, and then said: "Old Jin, you can take care of your own business and don't worry about us for the time being."
"Yes, angel, the little old man apologized!" It was estimated that the matter was not a small matter, so the old man did not care about being too polite and rushed out with three steps and two steps at a time, and the other people were even more so.
When I walked out of the house, I realized that in just a short period of time, the entire town had turned into a colosseum.
Gray-brown rats of all sizes were running around. Some of them stretched out their sharp and gleaming claws and pounced on people when they saw them. Others flashed back and forth, using their rapid speed to repeatedly collide in the field.
To contain or increase panic.
Xu Guangling and the others just watched and did not interfere casually.
The two sides have obviously had this kind of struggle more than once, and the townspeople must also have ways to deal with it.
As expected.
Although the townspeople, old and young, acted panicked, they were not in chaos. Under the constant shouting and deep command of several people including Gao Mujin, the scattered townspeople gathered or dispersed, and gradually gathered together.
"Modules" of different sizes are formed.
Various weapons such as spears, wooden clubs, shovels, and long whips were brandished.
From time to time there were loud roars in the field.
The screams came from both sides, human weapons, or the high-speed movement and screams of rats.
The commotion lasted for a full hour or two.
In the end, the rats left dozens of corpses behind, and then, amid the simultaneous screams of many rats, they all retreated back underground in just a few breaths, like the ebbing tide of the sea.
And things are not much better on the human side.
Although there were no major casualties, there were many casualties.
The most seriously injured person is probably a big man. There is a long and deep scar on his face. It can be seen at a glance that it was scratched by the sharp claws of the land rat. It starts from the forehead and ends at the bottom.
The chin penetrated the entire half of the face.
Throughout the entire field, everywhere you looked, you could see the mess and blood stains all over the place.
"Beast! Beast!"
The old man Gao Mujin stood there stamping his feet, shaking with anger.
