Wandering in the world of martial arts

Chapter 131 First Communication with Aboriginal People

On the hillside, there was a bonfire burning, and there was a simple shelter made of branches.

Wu Chen thought for a while, swallowed the Jingyuan on his neck first, and then walked up the hillside.

When he just approached the hillside, the people inside seemed to be very alert and noticed it immediately.

An old man with a shriveled face and a figure as thin as dry wood came out holding a stick. Behind him was a boy. Although the boy was also pale and emaciated, he also held a stick tightly in his hand.

The old man and the young man were vigilant at first, but when they saw Wu Chen clearly, they breathed a sigh of relief, and the old man greeted him loudly:

"Young man, you look a little strange, how did you come here?"

"I am an exiled prisoner." Wu Chen answered in broken Li Guohua.

This Li Guo dialect is more similar to ancient Chinese, and it is not difficult for him to master it, but it is a bit awkward when speaking.

"A new exile? It's just, why are you alone? By the way, your accent doesn't sound like a native of Li Guo?" the old man asked curiously.

"Sigh, my hometown is not from the Li country. I just came to the Li country to make a living. I didn't expect to offend someone when I first came here, and I was exiled here. As for the people who traveled with me... Sigh, it's hard to describe!"

Wu Chen pretended to sigh.

Well, it's hard to explain because he doesn't know how to make it up.

"My condolences. There are too many dangers in this wasteland. It is good that you survived. Come and sit down." The old man didn't know what he had imagined, so he said condolences and invited Wu Chen to sit by the fire.

After Wu Chen sat down, the two sides exchanged names.

The old man’s surname is Zhang, and his grandson’s name is Xiao Zhen.

"Mr. Zhang, can you tell me something about the surrounding area?" Wu Chen asked a question he was more concerned about.

The old man Zhang immediately used a branch to draw on the ground while preaching:
“It’s a day’s journey to the north from here to Laohan’s Ganlin Village. The specialties of our Ganlin Village are citrus, sweet potatoes, and chicken.

Further north from Ganlin Village, you can reach Lucun in two days' journey. The specialty products are roe deer and soybeans.

From Ganlin Village to the west, it takes one and a half days to reach Maitian Village, where the specialty is wheat.

Going east to south, two and a half days away, you can reach Beiwan Village, where the specialties are shells, fish, shrimp, and crabs. "

After listening, Wu Chen was a little confused.

Why are the village names here so unique?
However, this was just a detail. Wu Chen quickly asked about important things:

"Mr. Zhang, I wonder if there are any new villages nearby?"

"A new village?" Old man Zhang was stunned for a moment before he said, "No, if someone builds a village nearby, such a big thing will spread quickly, but the old man has never heard of it."

Old man Zhang's answer made Wu Chen disappointed.

According to this statement, there should be no systematic gathering places nearby.

His route seems a bit far.

In this case, how can he complete the task?Is it possible that we can only build a village by ourselves?
Wu Chen was a little annoyed immediately.

"Wu Chen, you are strong and strong, you can apply for residence in our Ganlin Village, I think the village will definitely agree." Old man Zhang suggested again at this time.

"Ganlin Village?" Wu Chen frowned.

The settlement task refers to the player's colony, this aboriginal settlement, it seems useless for him to settle down, right?
"By the way, why didn't you stay in the village all the time, instead, you brought Lingsun here in the middle of the night?" Wu Chen asked back.

"Oh, this..." Old Man Zhang said with a trace of bitterness on his face, "I took my grandson out because I wanted to go to the eastern swamp and see if I could find something to eat."

"Uh, so there is no food in your village?" Wu Chen questioned.

"Well, for useless people like the old man, the village will not distribute food, including Xiao Zhen, and the village will not afford food, so the old man can only take him to the wild to find food."

The old man Zhang sighed, and the little boy also had a look of unwillingness on his face.

"This..." Wu Chen was speechless.

Is the food in this place called the wilderness so tight?

"Guo Li deports a lot of criminals here every year, and each village will give priority to selecting strong adult laborers. Old, weak, sick, and disabled like us will not be driven away. We just need to eat, so we have to find our own way." Old man Zhang Helplessly explained again.

"Is that the eastern swamp you mentioned?" Wu Chen pointed to the direction he came from.

"Yes." Old man Zhang nodded.

"I just came out of it, but there are crocodiles there, are you not afraid of crocodiles?" Wu Chen asked.

"I can't help it. The outer area of ​​the eastern swamp is pretty good. There are Heilang Forest and Huqiu Mountain nearby. These two places are more dangerous." Old man Zhang said.

"Mr. Zhang, I want to ask you something. If I want to build a village by myself, do you have any suggestions?" Wu Chen said.

"Build a village?" Old man Zhang was stunned for a moment before he said, "But Wu Chen, do you have a net source, so you build a village?"

"Can we build a village if we have a clean source?" Wu Chen blinked.

"That's right, if there is a net source, we can build a net source hall, so that an area can be protected from the black mist. Otherwise, we ordinary people can only stay in the black mist for three days at most.

It's just that Jingyuan can only be obtained by killing the lord, and that's the lord..." When the old man Zhang mentioned the word "lord", he showed a trace of fear.

Lord?

Does this lord refer to the bearer of the magic source?
The carrier of the magic source is the ruler of the black mist, and it is appropriate to say that he is the lord.

Knowing this, Wu Chen finally knew the answers to some doubtful questions before.

For example, why did the system detect that he was carrying a net source and let him trigger his own village-building route?

Now, he has two net sources in his hand, so can he build two villages?
By the way, his two net sources are different in size, I wonder if there is any particularity to this?
Wu Chen immediately asked this question.

"For ordinary villages, it is enough to use a small net source. Unless it is a treasure land with abundant resources, it is worth using a medium net source." While answering, the old man Zhang looked at Wu Chen suspiciously, and couldn't help saying, "Wu Chen, Do you have a clean source?"

Wu Chen smiled, did not speak, but left first.

After a while, when he came back again, he already had a smaller net source in his hand.

"You, you actually have a net source, that's great!"

The old man Zhang was so excited that he dragged his grandson and knelt down towards Wu Chen together, "Master Wu, if you want to build a village, can you consider taking in our grandson and grandson, although our grandson and grandson are weak, but Eat less, as long as there is a little food is enough."

Wu Chen was a little confused. He didn't expect that taking out this net source would cause such a big reaction.
