Because it rained all night, the ground was wet everywhere.
The pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was walking on foot in such road conditions, and his speed was greatly slowed down.
After walking out of the woods, the situation on the ground will be better, but overall it won't be much better.
In the distance, you can see some creatures soaked by the rain. These creatures are very weak. When they see the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, he immediately leaves.
The pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at these ordinary creatures that had not found shelter from the rain last night and had been soaked in the rain all night. He shook his head and muttered to himself.
"If it were an alien beast, it would have a higher IQ. If it rained heavily last night, it would try its best to find shelter from the rain.
But these ordinary creatures are not that smart and can only endure the heavy rain and survive the worst time."
After complaining a few words, under the gaze of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, all the wet creatures around him left.
At this time, when encountering the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, he is likely to be reincarnated as prey, so the reaction of these creatures is to leave quickly.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead continued on his way towards the city. When he climbed over two high slopes, he suddenly heard the sound of fighting in the distance.
The terrifying roar was so loud that it could be heard from a distance of 1 kilometer. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead quietly hid and watched.
Under his watch, several hunters were besieging a strange beast.
It's early in the morning now. If you go out from the city to hunt for exotic beasts, you won't be able to find them at this time.
Therefore, these hunters should be like the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead. Yesterday it rained and he wanted to rush back to the city. However, he was too late and had to find a secluded place to settle outside the city.
As a result, as soon as they came out the next day, they encountered a lone alien beast. Moreover, the alien beast looked a little weak, so these hunters suddenly became murderous and began to use various methods to deal with the alien beast.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was hiding in the dark, quietly observing, with no intention of helping.
After all, in this inaccessible place, if the other party has any bad intentions, then he will suffer.
It's not that the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead can't defeat these hunters. The most fundamental reason is that he doesn't want to delay his return to the city because of these people.
The alien beast was very weak. I don’t know what caused it. The hunters attacked it and finally couldn’t bear it and were killed.
The pig-headed man captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, cheered when he saw these hunters. Then he quickly sorted out the bodies of the alien beasts.
After these hunters dealt with the strange beasts and left quickly, the pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came out of the darkness, then took a look at the direction, stayed away from the bloody battlefield, and continued to return to the direction of the city.
Because it rained, the weather today is very good.
The endless sky looked as clear and translucent as if someone had wiped it with a rag.
On his way back, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead gradually encountered many people who came out to do tasks.
These people saw some differences in the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead. Based on experience, they could also guess that the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was forced to stay overnight in the wild yesterday.
The risk of staying in the wild is very high, and most people will never choose to stay in the wild.
Those who survived staying alone in the wild and returned to the city unharmed were talents. Several people approached him and wanted to recruit the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
Facing other people's solicitations, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead smiled and shook his head. If it weren't for his special status, the offers offered by several teams were enough to make him excited.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead continued to move forward. After several hours, he finally saw Zecheng.
There were more people entering and leaving the city this morning than yesterday. It seems that the intensity of the soldiers in the city hunting down the rebels has dropped slightly.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought to himself, "Yesterday, those soldiers left the city to hunt down the rebels. Now a day and a night have passed. I don't know if they have gained anything..."
After paying the fee to enter the city, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead entered the city and immediately waited for the empty carriage by the roadside.
There are more people leaving the city in the morning, so it's easy to wait for empty carriages.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead waited for an empty carriage and immediately explained his destination to the coachman.
After a while, he arrived at his destination. He paid the fare and asked the groom to wait.
The groom was able to earn more money, so he was very happy to agree, and then waited for the guests to come back under the tree on the roadside.
"You're back late." The person who issued the mission said when he saw the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
"I encountered something on the road and was trapped in the wild..." the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead replied.
The person who issued the task thought for a moment and realized that it was the heavy rain yesterday. Then he nodded and paid the money without saying anything.
"My lady's friend also wants this kind of flower, will you still accept this task?" The pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead who was about to leave stopped, thought for a moment, and then nodded.
"Because I spent a day in the wild last night, I am mentally exhausted now. Can I wait until tomorrow to do this task?"
"Okay." The person who issued the mission smiled and nodded, and then watched the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead leave.
"Later I found out that there were no such flowers in that place. It was not easy for this person to find them!"
The person who issued the mission saw the figure of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead disappearing at the end of the street, then put away the smile on his face and murmured to himself.
…………
"Sir, welcome back."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead took a carriage back to the inn, and the waiter who had warmly received him before immediately came over enthusiastically.
"Prepare bath water for me and prepare a table of food for me, but don't prepare too much..." said the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
Although the waiter was curious about why the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead did not return to the inn yesterday, he knew what to ask and what not to ask.
So he nodded quickly and followed the other party's instructions to prepare bath water and food.
The sound of rushing water resounded in the guest room. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was soaking in the tub, leaning against the tub, making a cheerful sound.
After spending a whole day in the wild, it is impossible to feel comfortable.
Now when I return to the inn, there is not only hot water for bathing, but also delicious food. It is really enjoyable.
After taking a bath, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead got out of the tub, dried his body, and then put on clean clothes.
After quickly enjoying a table of delicious food, he called the waiter to come over and sort everything out.
The only person left in the quiet guest room was the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead. He was lying on the bed looking at the ceiling, recalling what happened yesterday.
In fact, the stability of the woods last night was much better than the place where the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was.
But after enjoying a comfortable environment and then returning to a difficult environment, most people cannot get used to it right away.
"It's really difficult to go from luxury to frugality."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought of an old saying, and then he slowly closed his eyes and began to rest.
In fact, now that he comes back in the morning, he can set off to do the same task again in the afternoon.
But just like what he said to the person who issued the task before, he wanted to complete the task with his mental state intact.
To collect this kind of flower, you cannot find this kind of flower in the place mentioned by the person who issued the task.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was also found by chance yesterday.
There were some strange beasts living in that area at that time, and he spent some time fighting them off before picking the flowers needed for the mission.
According to observations during this period, many people who go out on missions are generally not as powerful as the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
But out of caution, he still wanted to maintain his physical condition before going on missions outside the city.
…………
The two investigators discussed it yesterday and acted separately today.
Early in the morning, they came out of the inn and went in different directions to collect intelligence.
Time passed, and a few hours passed quickly. The two investigators returned to the inn to meet at noon.
"How was your intelligence collection today?" the tall investigator asked.
"Not bad. This is the information I collected. How are you doing there?" The short investigator took out the information he collected in the morning and asked.
"My side is not bad either." The tall investigator Xiaozi said, and also took out the intelligence he collected in the morning.
The two investigators had smiles on their faces, thinking that they should separate their operations earlier to speed up the efficiency of gathering intelligence.
After finishing their work in the morning, they can take a break at noon. This is not to say that these two investigators are lazy, but in the afternoon, the city will intensify its efforts to hunt down the rebels.
In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, the two investigators chose to stay in the inn for a few more hours in the afternoon.
"Dong dong dong."
There was a sudden knock on the door, and the two investigators who were drinking tea and chatting immediately became alert and put down their teacups.
"Who?" the tall investigator shouted warily to the person outside the door.
"My guest is me." The waiter's voice came from outside the door.
The door opened, and the waiter was standing at the door with some refreshments.
The two investigators looked at him suspiciously because they had not ordered refreshments.
The waiter also saw the doubts in the minds of the two investigators, and then explained with a smile and followed the two men.
"This is a newly developed refreshment in our store. The shopkeeper asked me to give one to every customer to try."
Hearing this, the two investigators smiled and nodded. After the other party left, they immediately took out some tools to test the refreshments to see if there was anything strange added to them.
After confirming that it was not poisonous, the two investigators picked up the refreshments to taste.
…………
There is an endless lake next to Zecheng, and many strange beasts live in this lake.
Many years ago, when the pig-headed people built a city here, the strange beasts in the lake were unconvinced and wanted to drive away all the pig-headed people, and then they had a great battle.
The result is self-evident, the powerful pig-headed man defeated the strange beast in the lake, and the city was built.
Ever since the news of the pig-headed lord's health problem spread all over the sky, the strange beasts in the lake began to become restless, hoping to take this opportunity to attack Zecheng.
Some of the alien beasts on land also had the same idea, so the alien beasts on land and water coincided with each other and began to connect in series.
The soldier standing on the city wall, facing the lake, looked at the sparkling lake, raised his hand and yawned.
I received news some time ago that alien beasts were going to attack Zecheng, but it made the pig-headed people in the city very angry.
The city lord's palace mobilized soldiers and horses and raised a large amount of military supplies to deal with the upcoming attack by the alien beasts.
As a result, the attack by the alien beasts did not come, but instead the rebels caused trouble in the city.
A large-scale roundup of rebels was carried out in the city, and the results were very poor. Many people were dismissed from their posts.
Fortunately, no matter how punished the soldiers who guard the city are, they can never be demoted. Now, after all this time, there have been no incidents of attacks by strange beasts. It must be just rumors.
The soldiers standing on the city wall yawned. Suddenly, several figures appeared on the lake in the distance.
They were several strange-looking beasts. They quietly surfaced and explored the direction of the city wall.
There are many soldiers on the city wall, but their vigilance is very low.
After receiving the information, the alien beasts who came to investigate immediately dived into the water and left.
The yawning soldier did not notice anything unusual in the lake. It happened to be time for shift handover, and he happily changed shifts with his colleagues.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead opened his eyes, sat up, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.
He had a very bad nightmare when he was sleeping just now. In the dream, Zecheng was attacked by alien beasts. Countless alien beasts swarmed in and slaughtered the pig-headed people in the city.
"How could you have such a bad nightmare?"
"Some people say that what you think about every day is what you dream about at night, but I usually don't think about this kind of thing!"
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, looked confused. Then he lifted the quilt covering himself and got out of bed. He came to the table and sat down, poured a glass of water and drank it in one gulp.
The window was not closed tightly. A gust of wind suddenly blew open the window, and the sunset outside the window shone into the room.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead got up and closed the window, then lay down on the bed again to rest.
