The cave is huge, covering hundreds of square meters, and it is not dark either. It is lit with candles made of snake oil.
Although it is a desert outside and there is no water source, it is different inside the cave. There is an underground river here, and the gurgling water gathers into a pool of water.
There are even some fish swimming in the pond.
The rock and soil next to the cave have been excavated, and there are passages and houses extending in all directions.
The most surprising thing is that there are some animals and insects in captivity.
Several caves are connected.
There is a kind of ant in captivity in the first cave, and the ants are densely packed.
The second cave houses a wingless, fly-like insect.
In the third cave are ugly toads.
The fourth cave is the largest, and there are venomous snakes in captivity.
Several humans came out of several caves, some started to catch fish in the river, and some came to the captive ants.
They grabbed a few ants and flies and threw them into the toad cave nearby.
Several people stepped into the toad cave again, caught a dozen toads, and threw the toads into the den of poisonous snakes.
As soon as the toad was thrown into the den of poisonous snakes, the poisonous snakes that had been hiding slowly swam out.
A man held a sword and quickly chopped the poisonous snake on the head.
puff.
Cut in two.
One, two.
Even if the poisonous snake dies, it still keeps squirming.
The man picked at random, and he picked out the bodies and heads of two venomous snakes from the cave.
He himself also jumped from himself to the outside.
His name is Perlo Jacobson, and he is a human swordsman.
There are now more than two hundred people in the Taklimakan Desert, but there are only two human swordsmen like him, including him.
Perlo Jacobson became a swordsman six years ago and fled here five years ago. He has now gradually adapted to the life here.
Although it is difficult here, at least you can still survive.
Thinking about what happened to other humans in the orc world, he was already lucky.
Today is the day to go out for picking. Early in the morning, Pelo went out with a dozen of his companions to pick cacti.
You must come out early in the morning, when the temperature is neither high nor low, and the cactus has just absorbed the dew and is very fresh and tender.
But not long after they came out, they encountered danger.
Desert lizard.
This is a unique kind of monster that lives here. Although it is only a low-level monster, it is still not something that ordinary people can fight against.
This is why Pelo needs to lead the team every time.
As for the other swordsman, he must stay in the cave to prevent the desert lizard from getting into the cave.
"There are two desert lizards, run!"
Two desert lizards as big as leopards ran toward them from the opposite direction at extremely fast speeds.
When Pelo saw it, he quickly urged everyone to escape.
Two desert lizards were no longer something he could defeat.
"ah!"
However, some people were still running slowly and were suddenly pounced upon by a desert lizard, biting their thighs.
"Brother Pero, save me!"
The person who was bitten was a man. He looked horrified and shouted loudly.
Peloti's sword rushed forward and stabbed the lizard with his sword.
Snapped.
Another desert lizard swung its tail and collided with his long sword.
The desert lizard had thick skin and was extremely heavy. It actually knocked him staggering.
When he adjusted his center of gravity, he heard a scream of "ah". The companion's throat had been bitten by a desert lizard, and his blood dripped on the dry sand, making the ground wet all of a sudden.
Seeing that his companion was dead, Perlo slowly backed away.
But what surprised him was that two more desert lizards appeared behind him.
The lizard that originally bit the man to death dropped the body in its mouth.
Four desert lizards surrounded him.
Seeing so many desert lizards, Pelo's heart sank.
It's over.
He only has the strength of a junior swordsman. He can only kill one desert lizard with all his strength. Now that he is facing four, one can imagine his fate.
He only hoped that the people who were returning could inform the other two people quickly, so that they might be able to save him before he died.
Pelo was extremely nervous, breathing heavily, sweat dripping from his face.
Looking at the four desert lizards approaching slowly, he held his sword and tensed up his whole body.
The four desert lizards didn't care about fairness with Pelo, and when they got close, they all pounced on him.
Pelo dodged to avoid their attacks. He was flexible and began to swim among the four desert lizards.
Bang bang bang.
From time to time he would chop with a long sword.
But after a while, he was bitten several times.
Blood oozed from the bite area.
Desert lizards secrete a toxin that, although not fatal, can paralyze and stun their prey.
Pero's movements became slower and slower, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier.
"Am I going to be eaten by them?"
Perlo was in despair.
Seeing two desert lizards rushing toward him, Pelo couldn't even lift his sword.
At stake.
at this time.
Bang bang!
When he saw the heads of the two desert lizards rushing towards them, their heads suddenly exploded, and their bodies were violently smashed away.
A tall figure stood in front of him.
The other two desert lizards tried to escape, but were overtaken by this figure again.
He can easily be killed with one punch and one kick.
The person coming was naturally Lu Ning.
He came to Perot and asked, "How are you?"
"Thank you~ Thank you. I'm fine. I'm just a little numb all over my body and can't move."
He glanced at the four desert lizard corpses on the ground and praised: "You are so awesome."
Seeing such a powerful person, he suddenly felt filled with a sense of security.
In the Taklimakan Desert, apart from the desert lizard, there were no other monsters. Lu Ning could kill the desert lizard so easily, and he no longer had to worry about other dangers.
"Where do you live? I'll take you back." Lu Ning asked.
"sorry to bother you."
When Lu Ning was considering whether to carry or hug him, two people, a man and a woman, ran towards them.
The man was holding a simple magic wand, and the woman was holding a long sword. It seemed that the two of them were magicians and swordsmen.
The two people who ran over first took a surprised look at the four desert lizard corpses on the ground.
They naturally knew how powerful the desert lizards were. They had just heard from their companions that Pelo was in danger, but they did not expect to see the bodies of four desert lizards when they came over.
The two looked at Lu Ning, guessing that it must be Lu Ning who killed him.
Because they knew how much Pelo weighed, and Pelo was obviously injured now.
"Perlo, how are you?"
"who is he?"
The two checked Pelo's injuries and then asked.
After asking, the two of them looked at Lu Ning again. Lu Ning was really different. Not only was he dressed gorgeously, but he was also handsome. Compared with Lu Ning, they were simply savages.
Pelo shook his head: "I don't know who he is, but obviously he is also a human being and is our companion. I almost died in the mouths of these desert lizards just now, and he saved me."
Lu Ning was also looking at the three of them.
The three of them were dressed simply, even a little shabby. The clothes they wore seemed to be made of a kind of plant fiber, like linen.
The three of them had dark faces, and they did not look like noble swordsmen or magicians, but more like farmers working in the fields.
Lu Ning said: "I came here specifically to find you."
"Looking for us?"
"Did you hide in the Taklimakan Desert because you were also being hunted by orcs?" Pelo asked immediately, remembering his own experience.
"He is different from us. Who are you?"
The female swordsman shook her head, looked at Lu Ning and asked.
Lu Ning's dress and demeanor didn't look like he was on the run at all, and she couldn't help but feel a little wary.
"I captured a human city. In a few days, the orc army will come to take the city back. Just in case, I plan to arrange for the people in the city to be here with you."
Captured a human city!
How can this be!!
The three of them looked at me, and I looked at you, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Who doesn't know that the outside world is now ruled by the orcs, and they humans can only be treated as slaves, with no possibility of rising up.
Hearing Lu Ning talk about capturing a city, this was simply a fantasy for the three of them.
"Who are you?"
"Are you sent by the orcs to kill all the humans who escaped here?"
Several people stared at Lu Ning, their faces beginning to look uneasy.
This is already their last pure land. If this place is also occupied by the orcs, then they really have no hope for the future of mankind.
"You misunderstood, I'm here to save you"
"As for who I am? You will know if you come with me." Lu Ning smiled mysteriously, and then opened the door of time and space in front of the three people.
The extremely magical gate of time and space made the three people's eyes widen.
They looked at the gate of time and space with blue and white light flowing in it, looking dazed.
Lu Ning stepped through the door of time and space and quickly disappeared.
The three of them looked at each other, somewhat undecided.
Lu Ning is so mysterious, and he appears here alone.
"He saved me, I believe he won't lie to me."
Perlo recalled the scene where Lu Ning saved him just now, and firmly believed that Lu Ning was a good person.
He stood up slowly. Because he was a swordsman, his body was stronger than that of ordinary people, and his body was no longer as paralyzed as before.
When he came to the gate of time and space, he looked at it curiously for a few times, and then resolutely stepped into the gate of time and space.
The ripples rippled and Pello disappeared.
Seeing Pero also disappearing into the gate of time and space, the female swordsman looked at the male magician and asked: "What should we do now?"
The male magician looked at the four dead desert lizard corpses next to him and said to the female swordsman: "The other party can easily kill these four desert lizards. Even if he wants to do something to us, we have no room to resist.
The other party should not be sent here by the orcs."
The female swordsman also looked at the four dead desert lizard corpses and nodded.
Indeed, the opponent is more powerful than them, and it is too easy to kill them.
The two came to the door of time and space and slowly stepped in.
After passing by, the three of them found that the surrounding environment had completely changed.
At this time, this place is no longer the bad environment of the Taklimakan Desert, but has turned into patches of golden wheat fields, with a river flowing not far away.
Further away are the continuous green mountains and forests.
this!
Seeing this scene, the three of them looked extremely shocked.
Totally stunned.
When they looked back at the Gate of Time and Space, they found that the Gate of Time and Space had disappeared.
Lu Ning looked at the three people who crossed the gate of time and space with a smile. The behavior of the three people was quite satisfactory to him.
"This city was just captured by me from the orcs."
Lu Ning pointed at the nearby city of Portua.
Only then did the three of them turn their attention to the direction pointed by Lu Ning. As expected, there was a big city over there with towering walls and a majestic atmosphere. The three of them couldn't help but look excited.
This is their great human city.
"You~who are you?"
The female swordsman looked at Lu Ning and asked again, her tone and title changed.
Perlo and the other male magician also looked at Lu Ning with expectant expressions on their faces.
"Come into the city with me, and you will naturally know after entering the city."
After Lu Ning finished speaking, he walked into the city of Portoa.
Several people immediately followed Lu Ning respectfully, looking at everything around them curiously as they walked.
The three of them breathed in the fresh air greedily, and excitedly looked at the mountains in the distance and the wheat fields not far away.
The female swordsman squatted down and picked a few wild flowers on the roadside. She put a cluster of wild flowers between her nose and smelled it, with a look of intoxication on her face.
