Gavin's guess was correct. There was indeed a truck grave here. Some truck skeletons were still very fresh and had probably been abandoned for a few months.
Some of them are half sunk in the mud, half rotten, and covered with various fungi. These kind of ones have basically no repair value, and it is too troublesome to use them as firewood.
Some of them were dismantled, leaving only a skeleton. I don’t know if they were dismantled by other caravans and used for parts, or if they were dismantled and used as firewood by the nearby lizard people.
A rough estimate is that there are at least 100 large vehicles worth restoring.
Gavin's eyes suddenly froze, and he suddenly took a step forward, blocking Anna behind him. He held the hand cannon with one hand and the long sword with the other, and yelled at a distance: "Who, come out!"
"As expected of a brave man, his alertness... hiss... is so high, please don't misunderstand, hiss... I don't mean any harm!" A voice sounded from the depths of the truck grave. The common language was very poor, and it had strange syllables.
Then you know it was not sent by humans.
A figure walked out slowly. His whole body was covered with dark green scales, and his chest and abdomen were slightly lighter. He had a thick and long tail behind him, swinging back and forth. There was no hair on his lizard-like head, only a hair.
The hair on the temples grows vertically, like a golden flame, with gold and red alternately.
This man looks more like a large, upright-walking lizard than a human being.
This lizard man looks a little older, his body is more stooped, his scales are darker in color, and his eyes are softer than other lizard men, shining with the luster of mature wisdom.
"There is no malice, why are you following us?" Gavin didn't judge people by their appearance, and still had no intention of letting go of his weapon.
"Following? No... no... it would be more appropriate to say searching... His, I came specifically to look for the caravan... Lord Brave... They said, you are here... His, I followed you.
…Sigh, I didn’t expect a misunderstanding.” The lizard man hurriedly defended.
Gavin made a rough estimate of where the other party appeared, and couldn't help but believe it. When they came over, they took some detours to avoid some places that looked more like traps. The other party was a swamp dweller, so he was naturally more sophisticated than them.
By understanding the situation, you might be able to get there earlier than they do.
"What do you want from us?" Gavin more or less guessed the other party's intention.
"Hire! I want to hire... brave men to help solve... hiss... my tribe's troubles... hiss..."
Gavin showed a true expression, and then bluntly refused: "Sorry, we are not the kind of mercenaries you are looking for. We will not accept additional tasks, so please find someone else!"
The lizard man said hurriedly: "Hey... I know the rules of you braves... I will prepare a heavy reward..."
"This is not a matter of money." Gavin's attitude was also very firm. He didn't want to cause trouble now.
"Two brave men, why don't you listen to my request first?" When the lizard man said this, his eyes stayed on Anna, as if he thought Anna could speak better than Gavin.
"Sorry, I'm not interested, Anna, let's go." This approach of the lizard man backfired, and directly disgusted Gavin, so he dragged Anna away.
"Oh!" Although Anna's eyes and expression showed that she was very interested in this matter, seeing Gavin's resolute attitude, she did not dare to interrupt and followed obediently. In her eyes, Gavin was a
A kind and powerful adventurer must have his own reasons for doing this.
The lizard man wanted to follow him at first, but when he saw Gavinson's cold gaze and the long sword that was about to be drawn out at any time, he wisely stopped and watched them go away.
"Mr. Gavin, why don't you accept his mission? Aren't you adventurers?" Anna finally couldn't hold back her curiosity.
"First of all, it is definitely not a small matter that even one of their tribes cannot solve. Our current strength is still very weak and we may not be able to help them. Secondly, we do not understand their tribe and cannot judge whether what he said is true or false. In addition, we do not understand their tribe and cannot judge whether what he said is true or false.
The swamp has a special environment. Once we go deeper, we find that the task is far beyond our capabilities and we can't even run away." Gavin taught earnestly, "Adventurers do not mean to ignore all dangers and move forward without hesitation. They must evaluate every situation.
The danger of the mission and your own strength, don’t touch any mission that is beyond your own strength, because it may very well lead to the annihilation of the entire army, and no one will be able to save us by then.”
There is another possibility, which Gavin did not mention.
The mission itself is a trap, and they are the prey.
This does not even involve the dark side of human nature, because they are not human in the first place. In the eyes of many lizard people, humans are just food, no different from cattle and sheep.
This cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences, and Anna can only slowly understand it later.
Anna listened attentively, nodded repeatedly, and couldn't help but ask: "Then why don't you listen to what difficulties they encountered?"
"Since you have decided not to accept his mission, why are you still listening? If you hear an extremely tragic story and you can't help them, wouldn't it increase your psychological burden?" Gavin can guarantee that the old lizard man will
There must be a tragic story in his mouth, this is a consistent routine.
"That's it." Anna nodded and couldn't help but look back at the old lizard man who had disappeared. She was kind-hearted and always felt bad about being unable to help when others asked for help, even if the other person was not a human being.
"If you really want to help him, it's not too late to come back when you grow strong enough." Gavin was afraid that Anna would cause trouble, so he gave her an idea that was not his idea.
"Okay, I will definitely become stronger as soon as possible." Anna finally felt much better and clenched her little fist vigorously.
With a pure mind, she did not consider more possibilities.
Time is developing, waiting for her to become strong enough.
The village's predicament has either been overcome, or it has been completely destroyed because of this incident. The possibility of waiting for her to come is very slim.
These are not what Gavin cares about. Everything in life cannot go as planned, even if he lives again.
In the next few days, Gavin kept a close eye on Anna's whereabouts, fearing that this silly girl would get hot and run to help the lizard man.
Fortunately, she is just kind-hearted and not mentally retarded. At least she knows her own worth. Without Gavin and Vic, she can't help them at all.
The cunning old lizard man contacted Anna in private and told her the tragic story of his tribe.
Because Anna turned around and came back to tell Gavin.
There was a Gato Swamp Monster living nearby in the old lizard man's tribe. Before he took office, he often used members of his tribe as food. After he took office, he came up with a solution, which was to actively feed the Gato Swamp Monster.
Tu Swamp Monster would provide them with fish, livestock and other meat every month. As long as their own needs were met, Cato Swamp Monster would no longer harass them.
This peaceful situation lasted for several years, but the problem was that the Cato Swamp Monster disappeared for a while, came back, already pregnant, and soon gave birth to three cubs in his lifetime.
