Li Tong originally had some animal meat at home. They were two burrowers and a gray-eyed bird that Li Tong captured yesterday. If Li Tong was alone, the food would naturally be enough for Li Tong to eat for two or three days. Now there is more.
One summer, Li Tong naturally had to prepare more food, and the fruits at home were also used up, so he had to hunt down a few more wild animals and go to Wangxiang Town in exchange for some plant food.
Wangxiang Town is the largest of the nearby villages. It is located in the middle of the entire region. Wangxiang Town is a relatively developed town. A grand exchange fair is held here every once in a while. Many people exchange soul crystals that they do not need.
Take it and exchange it for something you need.
At this time, Xia Yang finally understood why Li Tong was so poor. Before the two went up the mountain, Li Tong took out all the food at home and distributed it to some neighbors - all of them were old people, women and children. According to reports,
Li Tong said that the war between the awakened ones and the soul-sucking beasts has never stopped, so only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left. If it were not for the constant relief provided by Li Tong and the villagers, these people would have been unable to survive long ago.
Although these people also grow some plant food, due to the soil here, various plants grow slowly, and they can only harvest a very small amount of food a year.
Xia Yang and Li Tong walked up the mountain along a small river. This small river is the source of all water, but fortunately it is like spring here all year round, with no drought, rainfall, or snowfall. It is no wonder that Li Tong first heard Xia Yang say that it rains and feels like winter.
Surprised, they don't have these terms here at all.
There are many small rivers like this in this forest. These small rivers run through the entire plain area and flow all the way to the cliff in front. Finally, a knowing lake is formed in front of the cliff.
Usually people here call the front half surrounded by cliffs the fruit farming area and the back part the hunting area.
Li Tong also told Xia Yang that there are countless hunters in the hunting area, and in order to obtain more soul-sucking beasts, some hunters usually form hunting groups to go deep into the forest. Li Tong and his village have a hunting group, and the members of this hunting group are all
They are the most experienced and skilled hunters in the entire village, and their hunting equipment is also the best in the village.
The least popular people here are various technical talents. For example, professionals who can make various hunting tools are the most popular among people in the hunting area. In the fruit farming area, the most popular people are old fruit farmers who are proficient in various planting techniques.
.
To be honest, Xia Yang, who really understood the living habits here, realized that this was a primitive society, with simple tools and a miserable lifestyle, but the people here were very happy. Although they sometimes faced hunger and hardship, they
They all work hard to survive.
In other words, they all knew their goal - to survive. It was for this reason that Xia Yang slowly fell in love with this place. On the way, Xia Yang kept seeing some children who were only ** years old carrying them on their backs.
The heavy piles of dry firewood, which were similar in shape, walked down the mountain. They all happily greeted Li Tong on the way.
Li Tong saw Xia Yang's doubts and explained: "These are the children I have helped. Even though these children are only ** years old, many of them are already able to hunt small soul-sucking beasts on their own."
Xia Yang sighed in his heart. Sure enough, every place has its own difficulties. Although they are all awakened, these abilities bring them covetation by powerful soul-sucking beasts here, unlike when they were on Earth, where they became the envy of ordinary people.
These people may not know that because of their protection, people on distant earth can live with peace of mind.
Li Tong is already twenty-eight this year. His parents died early. He grew up alone. Most of the food he hunted was given to other families who were poorer than him. Therefore, he has not yet started a family. Originally, he only planned to
Xia Yang was casually looking around. After learning about the situation, he immediately decided to help Li Tong.
"Brother Xia Yang, look, this is where I found you." Li Tong pointed to the altar in front of him and said.
The altar is very simple, just a bare stone platform with strange inscriptions carved on it. If placed on the earth, this could only be regarded as an ancient relic, and there is nothing special about it at all.
Xia Yang shook his head helplessly and said: "Forget it, let's go hunting. Brother Li, what kind of soul crystal is the most popular?"
"Soul crystals are roughly divided into three types. One contains the memory soul crystal of the soul-sucking beast, which is also the lowest value soul crystal; the other is the ability soul crystal. This type of soul crystal can be called a rare item because it can
It directly helps people activate an ability, but it only appears in a very small number of soul-sucking beasts. The farther away the soul-sucking beasts are, the smaller the chance of being able to explode the ability soul crystal."
"Oh? Why is this?"
"Soul crystals are condensed from the souls of soul-sucking beasts before they die, and those powerful soul-sucking beasts are extremely cruel. They are unwilling to leave soul crystals even if they self-destruct their souls, so humans only get soul crystals left by low-level soul-sucking beasts.
.”
"So that's it!" Xia Yang finally understood the reason and asked curiously: "Then what is the third type of soul crystal?"
"The third type of soul crystal is also the most precious because it is related to the soul and is called spiritual power crystal. When the strength of the soul reaches a certain level, it will undergo a qualitative change and form a controllable power in the body. We call it spiritual power.
Power Soul Crystal is an existence that can directly increase spiritual power. Even if a person without spiritual power takes it, it can increase the strength of the soul, which is of immeasurable value."
Spiritual power soul crystal? Xia Yang remembered the alien beast he first encountered at home. At that time, he once exploded a very small crystal. That should be the spiritual power soul crystal that Li Tong mentioned?
"We have truly entered the forest now, but most of the soul-sucking beasts on the outside have been hunted. Let's go a little further inside. You must be careful, as there will occasionally be some very powerful soul-sucking beasts inside."
Xia Yang nodded. He was not familiar with this place at all, so he could just follow Li Tong. Then, Xia Yang finally saw how powerful Li Tong was.
As a hunter, Li Tong has captured a lot of soul crystals. However, except for the soul crystals that increase his movement speed, he has replaced the others with daily necessities. Li Tong's ability is insight, and he can rely on his keen
He feels locked onto the enemy, coupled with his super mobility and archery skills, he is a complete sniper. Ordinary soul-sucking beasts can't get close to him and will be sniped.
Xia Yang found that the people here were extremely physically strong, comparable to the most powerful special forces on earth. Li Tong was extremely fast at the moment. He was concentrating on chasing a burrowing beast, and the wooden bow on his back was also
He took it off and kept it ready to shoot.
Don't underestimate this wooden bow. It is made of extremely hard drilled wood, which is one of the few special materials that can hurt soul-sucking beasts. Arrows and wooden spears are also made of this kind of wood.
The burrower is a soul-sucking beast that can quickly burrow into the ground. It relies on its ability to escape from the ground and often attacks humans. Many people were caught off guard and were killed.
Li Tong's super moving speed chased the burrowing beast with great difficulty, which shocked Xia Yang who was watching from a distance. Even if he was killed by Li Tong's sniper, he might not be able to escape, but the burrowing beast in front of him was
The beast dodged easily.
This made Xia Yang, who was originally confident, cautious. If it was difficult for Li Tong to hunt a soul-sucking beast with his strength, then he probably wouldn't gain much. After all, Li Tong had much more experience than Xia Yang!
This burrowing beast is like flying on the ground. Not only can those trees not block its swift figure, but they can also make it easier to escape Li Tong's pursuit. The burrowing beast is shaped like a pig, but its mouth is very long, and there are many holes in front of it.
With two tusks that can be bent freely, this is their tool for digging into the ground, just like two drill bits, leaving deep holes in the ground. This beast has a speed that is completely inconsistent with its body shape.
Xia Yang could only see its black silhouette in the distance.
Li Tong stared at the figure of the burrowing beast in front of him, keeping his shooting posture in his hands. He also had to always pay attention to Xia Yang behind him, and he simply could not concentrate on dealing with the burrowing beast.
Seeing that the woods in front of him were getting denser and thicker, Li Tong knew that it would be difficult to catch the burrowing beast this time. The arrow in his hand shot out in response, but it did not hit the burrowing beast.
Li Tong smiled helplessly at Xia Yang, "This beast is too fast. It seems that it failed the first time!"
Xia Yang noticed that Li Tong was distracted to take care of him just now, and couldn't help but gratefully said to Li Tong: "Brother Li, you don't have to worry about me, you just go hunting according to your usual habits!"
Li Tong laughed a few times, stepped forward to pick up the arrow that had just been missed, and gently wiped off the dirt on it, "It's a pity that brother doesn't have good hunting tools, otherwise this beast will not be able to escape."
!”
Li Tong's ears suddenly twitched and he whispered to Xia Yang: "There is a deer-horned beast in front of you. You stay here while I go over to hunt it!"
Xia Yang nodded. He knew that he was too inexperienced after all. Hunting this thing does not rely solely on strength. Each of those soul-sucking beasts was more sophisticated than the last, and the slightest movement would alarm them. Therefore, Xia Yang could only let Li Tong hunt alone.
Li Tong's body was like a ghost, his feet were as effortless as floating leaves, and he didn't make a single sound. He disappeared into the woods in the blink of an eye.
Xia Yangxian was extremely bored and couldn't help but search around, but he didn't dare to move too much for fear of ruining Li Tong's hunting.
This is a relatively flat grassland with sparse woods, but the surrounding trees are dense, with tree trunks everywhere as far as the eye can see. There are all kinds of strange and weird trees, which is really an eye-opener for Xia Yang.
Xia Yang sighed and listened to the movement in the forest, but he gave up immediately. He didn't have the perverted hearing of Li Tong.
"Huh?" Xia Yang carefully stroked a small tree. To be precise, it can't be called a tree at all. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a tree in the bush, but it grows alone.
Hidden in a dead tree, you can't find it unless you look carefully.
What really makes Xia Yang strange is not these, but the texture of this tree. It feels as smooth and smooth as a woman's skin, and there is even a moist feeling in some places, as if the skin is sweating...)
