Black Technology System: Beast Hunter

Chapter 227

Zhao Dong opened his eyes abruptly, his eyes were filled with thick green, his chest seemed to be pressed by something, and he was struggling to breathe.

Shaking his head and looking again, he realized that he was hanging on a tree branch as thick as an arm, at least ten meters above the ground.

Zhao Dong suddenly woke up with a jolt, and with a slight movement, the branches under him trembled, and there was a small cracking sound in his ears.Fortunately, he was lucky, and he didn't suffer any injuries. He climbed down the tree carefully and kept his feet on the ground, so he had the time to look at the surrounding environment.

There are trees on all sides, the sun is dappled, in the sky on the left, a round of red sun is slowly setting, and the sky is full of orange.

Zhao Dong frowned slightly.

The environment here is obviously different from the sub-dimensional area, and the red sun is the best proof.

He only remembered that he and Duan Muqing were both thrown into the space rift by the high priest. He thought he would surely die, but he didn't expect to end up here.

"Where did Duan Muqing go?" Zhao Dong rubbed his swollen temples and asked the system.

"There are living beings moving in the southeast. They are two people. It shouldn't be him." The system said quickly.

After the upgrade, its various functions have been improved. Just now when Zhao Dong was in a coma, he had already checked the surrounding situation.

"Is there someone?" Zhao Dong felt half relieved when he heard this.

Some people mean that this is not an unknown place, at least there are intelligent creatures, and some people mean that they can communicate, so he has hope if he wants to leave.

It has been six days and seven hours since he left City Y, and there is not much time left. Thinking that he will definitely miss the opportunity to enter Dart this time, Zhao Dong is so heartbroken that he waits for a moment. I can't go down.

According to the direction pointed out by the system, Zhao Dong groped forward, and suddenly there was a noise in the grass, and the next second a gray-haired rabbit came out and bumped into Zhao Dong's leg.

Zhao Dong took a step back, a little surprised for a moment, he watched the fat rabbit rolled, then jumped up, and rushed into the grass like lightning, as if there was a wolf chasing it, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

In the past, apart from artificially raised ingredients, this was the first time he encountered wild animals that did not actively attack humans.

At this moment, there was a faint voice coming from the front, and Zhao Dong immediately touched it with light steps.

"Oh, be careful, don't break the root."

"Forget it, let me come."

As he got closer, he heard a somewhat immature voice saying, Zhao Dong hid behind a bush and looked out.

I saw two people squatting in front, seeming to be digging something.

The two people were not very old, and the one who spoke seemed to be the elder sister, with two braids, and the other was the younger brother, with short and curly hair.

Zhao Dong was looking at him secretly, when the younger brother turned his face slightly, seeing his appearance, Zhao Dong couldn't help being surprised.

The little boy's facial features were nothing special, his complexion was dark, but on his forehead, there was a black mark, like a pair of wings.

Looking at the two people's clothes, it seems to be some kind of linen robes, not only simple but also a bit worn out, with patches on the knees and elbows, which looks like the medieval clothes seen in the murals.

"Where is this place? I wouldn't have traveled through it." Zhao Dong twitched the corner of his mouth, muttering to himself.

"What beautiful things are you thinking about? Time and space are irreversible." The system murmured without losing face.

"This should be a broken plane, and the power of space is not stable. It is good luck that you can fall here instead of getting lost in the turbulent flow of space."

"It doesn't matter if it's good or not, I just want to know how to get out of here." Zhao Dong muttered, looking at the siblings, while thinking about how he would appear so as not to appear too abrupt.

Someone means that they have a place to live. These two little guys are not very old, and there is no dust on their bodies, so their village should not be far away. There must be people like the village chief and family elders in the village. information.

Just as they were thinking, there was a sudden noise in the grass in the distance, and a wild wolf appeared in front of the two of them, with fierce green eyes, and rushed forward with a roar.

"Sister, wolf."

The young lady was obviously stunned by fright, and didn't know how to dodge at all. The two of them only screamed, and the wild wolf rushed forward, opened its bloody mouth, and bit down violently.

"boom."

The expected pain did not come, and the wild wolf seemed to be hit by something and let out a howl.

Xiaoyong was much more courageous than his elder sister. Hearing the sound, he struggled to break free from his elder sister's arms, and saw someone standing in front of them.

The man just swung out his fist, and he sent the dire wolf flying upside down.

Zhao Dong shook his hand and curled his lips speechlessly.

Unexpectedly, all the beasts in this world are so weak, let alone the rabbit just now, even this wild wolf is a rookie, which is really detrimental to the prestige of the wolf, even the rabbit in the dimension area is much more ferocious than it.

"Are you all right?"

Zhao Dong turned around and met Xiaoyong's eyes just in time. Seeing the little guy's expression mixed with admiration, envy, and surprise, he felt a little embarrassed.

But he didn't forget his purpose, and immediately put on the posture of a caring big brother, caring and authentic.

The two little guys had obviously never seen any outsiders, and they didn't have the slightest sense of defense. In addition, Zhao Dong saved their lives again, so after a few words, they became intimate.

"Big Brother, Second Uncle said that warriors can fly, can you too?"

There was no need for Zhao Dong to make up his identity. The two little guys arranged an identity for him by themselves, and Zhao Dong simply followed the trend and pretended to be a warrior.

And the reason why these two little fellows sneaked into the wild was to dig for fairy roots.

The fairy roots they mentioned are actually wild ginseng. This kind of thing has long been extinct in Blue Star. Zhao Dong has only seen artificially cultivated varieties, which seem to grow naturally. In the mouths of two little guys, eating It was the first time he saw something that could become a Hercules.

However, the two little guys obviously cherished this thing. After digging it out, they carefully wrapped it and put it in their backpacks. Zhao Dong couldn't say that he wanted to see it, so he could only temporarily suppress his curiosity and concentrate on asking about the situation in this world.

The two little guys have no city, so they don't need to ask any more questions, they just talked in a hurry. When they walked out of the woods and turned around a mountain ridge, they could already see the small village at the end of the mountain road. What happened in the village? , have been completely shaken by the two little guys.

However, after all, the two of them were young and didn't know much. Zhao Dong listened for a long time and only summarized three key points.

The first point is that martial artists have a very high status here, but the number of them is very small. In such a village with seventy or eighty households, there is not even a single martial artist. The village chief who punched the wolf to death.

The second point is that every three years, nearby villages will unite to hold a large-scale sacrifice. On the one hand, they pray for good weather, and on the other hand, they select people to go to the Immortal Cave to seek opportunities.

The third point is related to the second point, that is, it seems that no one in their village has been selected for several years. If no one is selected this year, they will become vassals of several other villages, and life will become very different. more difficult.

"The village chief's grandfather has been frowning every day for the past few days. If the second uncle loses the election, then we won't even have enough to eat in the future." The younger brother Xiaoyong frowned and sighed like a little adult.

Zhao Dong was almost amused by his bitter and sad look, and his sister Xiaoyun next to him also looked sad, so he had to try his best to control his facial expressions, and inquired about the situation of the fairy cave.

According to the brothers and sisters, the Immortal Cave is located deep in the mountains, where the ancient gods lived.

It is shrouded in clouds and fog all the year round, and it is impossible to get close. Only at this time of every three years, after the sacrifice is held, the fog will disperse. After the people who pass the selection enter, they will be directly promoted to warriors in all likelihood, even if there are a few who are not qualified enough Yes, as long as you work hard after you come out, you will be promoted to warrior within three to five years.

"As long as everyone who enters can become a martial artist, the number is not small." Zhao Dong said curiously.

The lifespan of warriors is usually not short, at least much longer than ordinary people. It is impossible for the entire village to have no warriors, unless there is some natural or man-made disaster, and all of them die all at once.

"Those who become warriors will not stay in the village, they will all be taken away by the Qiongshanmen." Xiao Yun obviously knew better than his younger brother, and when he heard Zhao Dong's question, he said.

"Isn't there anyone who doesn't want to go?" Zhao Dong blinked, feeling that there was something fishy about this Qiongshan Gate.

Even if you really want to strengthen the sect, you can't accept everyone regardless of high or low. In any place, people's qualifications vary from good to bad. Even if they all become warriors, they still have high or low qualifications and good or bad character. A sect recruits disciples , how could it not be considered at all.

"Who wouldn't want to go? That's a sect with immortals." Xiaoyun Xiaoyong said in unison.

The expressions of the siblings showed that they yearned for Qiongshanmen infinitely. Zhao Dong couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth when he saw it.

He can casually come up with seven or eight arguments to explain that there is a problem with the Qiongshan faction, but what's the point of that? Let's not say that the two little guys don't understand at all. Without their dreams, life is already so difficult, if even their dreams have to be deprived, that kind of life is too miserable.

"Here we are." While speaking, the three of them had already reached the entrance of the village.

This village is not small, with more than 70 households and a hundred or so people. The houses are patchwork, but they are all thatched floors. Only the ancestral hall in the center of the village is a brick structure. blue bricks.

At this time, it was very quiet, not even a single person, Zhao Dong couldn't help feeling a little strange.

"Everyone is at the quarry. Because they are too far away, they all leave early and come back late." Xiaoyong led Zhao Dong on the side road in the direction of home.

"The rest of the people are in the ancestral hall. At this time, everyone will go to the ancestral hall to worship and pray that someone from the village will be selected this time."

"Then why didn't you go?" Zhao Dong glanced at the two of them, but didn't say this, but Xiao Yun seemed to see it, and said lonely, "We are not from the village, so we can't enter the ancestral hall."

"We were adopted by the second uncle." Xiaoyun explained, holding the straps of the pannier tightly with both small hands, and said in a low voice, "The village chief has promised that as long as the second uncle is elected, he can officially adopt us. By that time, my brother and I will be members of the village."

Zhao Dong didn't know what to say for a while, but he couldn't bear to see the two little guys, and was about to take out some delicious food to coax them, when Xiaoyong suddenly cheered, and ran forward with two legs.

"Second uncle."

Zhao Dong raised his head and saw a tall and straight young man coming from a distance.

The man had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looked to be in his early twenties, and he had a long knife on his back.

Zhao Dong noticed that there was a similar mark on his forehead, but the appearance was slightly different from that of the siblings.

Without Zhao Dong's self-introduction, the two little guys recounted the process of him beating the wild wolf to death and saving them.

"Thank you for the rescue." Hearing that Zhao Dong was a warrior, Xiao Shan suddenly looked at him with a look of inquiry.

"It's nothing more than a little effort." Zhao Dong waved his hand casually, as if he didn't notice it at all, and let the other party look at him.

The two little guys naturally didn't notice the delicate atmosphere between them, Xiaoyong offered a treasure like an authentic; "Second Uncle, my sister and I dug up the fairy root, it's so big."

The little guy said, making big circles in mid-air with his hands.

The corners of Zhao Dong's mouth twitched when he saw it. It was obviously just a wild ginseng a little thicker than chopsticks, but he blew it down to the size of a millstone.

"Didn't you say that you can't enter the mountain casually?" Xiao Shan was still sizing up Zhao Dong, but when he heard Xiaoyong's words, he immediately looked at the siblings with a straight face, and his tone couldn't help being a bit harsh.

"But but, Xiao Liu and Xiao Wu said that as long as they eat the fairy root, Second Uncle will definitely pass the selection."

Seeing him get angry, Xiaoyun immediately bowed his head honestly to admit his mistake, although Xiaoyong was a little scared, he still defended in a low voice.

"You guys." Hearing what Xiaoyong said, Xiao Shan still didn't understand anything. His anger immediately disappeared and he sighed helplessly.

Xiaoliu and Xiaowu are children from the next village. The eldest son of the Sun family was successfully selected in the last sacrificial meeting. He was taken away by the people from the Qiongshan Gate directly after he came out of the Immortal Cave. I heard that it also gave the Sun family a lot of benefits. I don't know where these two got the information, and they said that eating celestial roots can be selected, so I have been thinking about finding them for him to eat.

Although the two were disobedient, they were still the child's heart, and he couldn't bear to be more harsh.

"Okay, go and boil the water." Xiao Shan said nothing more, pushed the door open and walked into the courtyard, shouting to Xiaoyun.

In fact, he didn't need to speak, Xiaoyun and Xiaoyong started to act as soon as they entered the yard.

Xiaoyun carefully placed the basket containing the fairy roots under the eaves, while Xiaoyong ran into the kitchen holding a small bundle of firewood. The two little guys moved quite quickly, and they were obviously good at housework.

Zhao Dong's eyes swept across the small courtyard in front of him casually. When he saw the basket hanging under the eaves, his eyes widened involuntarily, with a look of surprise on his face.
