Chapter 157 The Difference Between a Village and a Gathering Place

The name of the village where the flying boat stops is rather convoluted, and it seems to be in an ancient language.

Translated, it’s called Water Ant Village.

Near the village is a wide swamp called the Dui Swamp.There are many dangerous monsters and poisons everywhere, and of course, there are many precious materials.

As a hunting area, the Duy Swamp is considered a more dangerous place.

The monsters that appeared here, except for the small monsters of level 1, were almost all dangerous above level 3.

Level 4 monsters are a frequent visitor to the swamp.

The swamp environment is equally dangerous. If you are not careful, the hunter will be injured by poison or fall into a swamp pool that is too deep to touch the bottom.

Thick fog hangs in the air, besides the disgusting smell, it also blocks the line of sight, making it difficult for people to see things clearly at a distance.

For Qi Xing's current level 3 hunters, this place is not very suitable for training.

no way.

The place Lin originally wanted to go was the snow mountain area, but Qi Xing's route plan had been revised too many times, and in the end he couldn't go to the snow mountain at all, so he had no choice but to go here first.

Forget it.

Coincidentally, one of the delivery addresses given by Yoyo is here.

Deliver the goods and leave for a few days before leaving.

Lin told the crew a few words, telling them to be especially careful about the dangers of the swampy terrain, pay careful attention these few days, and don't let them disband after encountering danger here.

Afterwards, she and Qi Xing came to the Water Ant Village.

Maybe it's because it's too close to the swamp area, and there's a turbid mist in the air, which makes people uncomfortable.

Residents or vendors on the street cover their mouths and noses with a piece of cloth.

Qi Lin and the others quickly learned this, and covered their mouths and noses with a piece of cloth.

The two came to the village guild.

The air in the guild was quite clear, and many people took off the cloth covering their mouths and noses.However, the atmosphere was a little calmer than other guilds.

"Hello, I want to ask you something."

Lin walked up to the guild kanban lady and asked, "Excuse me, is there a level 3 hunter named Scar?"

This is one of the delivery list given by Yoyo.

Hearing this, the guild lady raised her eyebrows slightly: "Yes, what do you want to do with him?"

"Some things need to be handed over to him personally."

Lin asked carefully: "Where is it convenient to find him?"

The waitress shook her head: "It's hard to say.

For a long time recently, Ska has been receiving quests and frequently entering and exiting the swamp.Almost as soon as I came out, I would go again, and the number of times I stayed in the village was very small.

If you want to find him, I can send you a letter when he comes back next time. What's your name? "

"Me. You tell him, when he comes back, go to the shipyard in the village and look for the flying boat of the Seventh Expeditionary Team. There is something that needs to be handed over to him."

"Ok."

At the beginning, Fang Zhu was not found, but Qi Xing was not surprised.

During this period, Fang Zhu spoke less frequently in the group.

In the past, no matter who was talking in the group, he would answer in the shortest possible time.

All these changes started after Ke Huan rose to level 4.

I'm afraid he can't accept the fact that the handicapped Ke Huan in his mind has advanced to level 4, so he is trying to catch up.

Either way.

Qi Xing and Lin looked at each other: "Would you like to see the mission?"

"There's no rush," Lin shook his head and responded, "The village is different from the gathering place. Since you've come to the village, let's take a look around the village and see the specialties here, and then make a decision."

"specialty?"

Before Qi Xing had time to ask more questions, Lin pulled him out of the guild.

He hurriedly covered his mouth and nose and walked into the fog.

The streets of Water Ant Village are quite quiet, and the residents hardly speak when they meet each other. If they have something to say, they usually go to the corner of the building, or sit in a restaurant or teahouse at random.

Vendors will write what they want to sell on wooden boards for the convenience of passers-by.

[Crystal purchase-selling, the price is negotiable! 】

[Poisons and antidotes are reliable, and there are trial products to try. 】

[Common material acquisition!Buy sickle crab and crab roe at a high price. 】

This is a vendor close to the guild. After walking a little further, there will be some places selling local products such as "precious crystals" and "poisonous weapons".

While walking, Lin suddenly stopped.

Her eyes were fixed on the corner of a building, where a tall man stood, huddled behind a thick and dirty cloak, and his face could not be seen clearly.

Being watched by Lin, the man hesitated for a while, then turned around as if to leave.

"Hold on!"

Lin called the man to stop and walked up.

She didn't say much, but took out a bag of gold coins and handed it to the man.

The man took it and tried the weight, then nodded: "What do you want?"

"Shui Ant Village's environmental knowledge textbooks, do you sell them?"

"Sell, ten thousand gold coins."

"I want one, trade tomorrow."

"to whom?"

"he."

Lin pointed to Qi Xing who was beside him: "He's the only one. I know the rules and promise not to spread the word."

The man looked at Qi Xing and nodded with satisfaction: "Sure, do you have any other requests?"

"Are there any suitable village tasks?"

"Have."

"Is there anything about Red Velociraptor or Yellow Velociraptor?"

"These two monsters are rare and weak monsters in the swamp. All the hunters are looking for me, and the hunters in line can't count them on their hands."

"so?"

"You have to pay more."

"I'll give you all the rewards you get from hunting. We only need materials, is that okay?"

"Deal! When do you want to hunt?"

"tomorrow."

"Then we'll see you here tomorrow."

After the man finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the darkness, disappearing into the mist after a while.

Lin patted Qi Xing: "I'm done with business, I'm going back to the boat, do you still want to go shopping?"

Qi Xing looked at the village shrouded in oppressive fog.

Forget it, I have no desire to go shopping.

The two of them were silent all the way back to the flying ship.

They found that before them, a small half of the crew had also returned.

It seems that the heroes see the same thing, and everyone doesn't like to wander around the village.

After entering the cabin, Qi Xing had time to ask out his curiosity just now: "Who is that man in the cloak?"

"The village chief of Water Ant Village."

Qi Xing almost choked on his own saliva.

"what?"

Lin's answer is not surprising.

That man who dressed sneakily and acted strangely was actually the head of a village?
Qi Xing frowned and couldn't figure it out, so he waited for Lin to clarify his doubts.

Lin Tanshou said, "Frankly speaking, how do you feel about Water Ant Village?"

"It's not good," Qi Xing scratched his head, "The environment here is really not suitable for living, and the residents are not very enthusiastic. I feel that it is not as comfortable as the gathering place by the ancient forest."

"Then what do you think is the biggest difference between a village and a gathering place?"

"Safety?"

Lin shook his head:
"Do not.

There is no absolutely safe place in this world. Even if there is a level 10 ancient dragon determined to attack the giant city of Monte, the center of mankind, there is a high probability that humans will be helpless.

The extra security provided by the village compared to the gathering place is limited. Facing level 7 and 8 monsters, they cannot sustain it for long. "

Qi Xing couldn't figure it out: "So, what's more about a village than a gathering place?"

Lin smiled slightly:
"The village has one more important factor than the gathering place:
inherited. "
