Lu Chen, who was happy to get the experience points, also looked ahead, where a village was being guarded by a totem field.
"I actually encountered a village. The revelation of the apocalypse asked me to save this place!"
The one who arrived was naturally Lu Chen. He kept walking straight and was originally planning to rush directly to the royal court.
But while walking, the sky started to move, which made Lu Chen feel it and shift his direction slightly.
It was this deflection that allowed Lu Chen to save the sword pillar and even the village in front of him.
"Are you just rescuing the village? Forget it, it's getting dark soon. It's time to take a rest."
Merchants walk during the day and rest at night, but they mainly transport goods.
But Lu Chen was different. What he wanted was to explore the road. Therefore, Lu Chen didn't want to walk during the day when there were no evil spirits.
"No, you can also walk during the day. If you walk in the land of shadows, I can also eliminate evil spirits during the day."
Thinking like this, Lu Chen did not take action immediately, but prepared to take a rest before moving forward.
"The Land of Shadows is okay, but below the Land of Shadows is the Land of Nightmare. There are some absurd things there, and there are many evil things that can actively travel to the Land of Shadows."
The former castle in the lake made Lu Chen understand the dangers of the Shadow Land.
Therefore, he was prepared to move forward from the land of shadows when he was mentally replenished.
While Lu Chen was thinking, a voice sounded in front of Lu Chen.
"Are you a human being or are you an evil spirit?"
"Of course they are human beings."
After shaking his body, Lu Chen's figure shrank very quickly, and soon a handsome young man two meters tall appeared in front of Daozhu.
Lu Chen, who put away all the three ghosts and gods, looked like an ordinary person and smiled towards the sword pillar.
"If I were evil, you would have died long ago. Let's go. I'm going to take a rest in your village after a tiring day."
These words made Daozhu hesitate for a moment, but soon he said: "You are welcome to come. I wonder if you can tell me your name."
Daozhu didn't want strangers to enter his village, but considering that the person in front of him showed no malice, and more importantly, that he was too strong and couldn't stop him even if he broke through Daozhu, he agreed.
"Of course, my name is Chen, um, I am your prince. I have only been a prince for a few months, so you probably don't know..."
"Chen, you are His Highness Prince Chen, the invincible Prince Chen at the same level."
"Well, how do you know my name? Didn't it mean that the trade routes are cut off and you can't get news from other places?"
The other party's exclamation surprised Lu Chen. He didn't expect that his reputation could be heard here.
"The trade routes are indeed cut off, but we have totem poles. From Wu Zhu, we heard about your deeds, Your Highness."
During the conversation, they confirmed Lu Chen's identity, which made them even happier.
Soon, everyone returned to the village.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and a large number of Zhu villagers gathered at the entrance of the village, praying that Daozhu and the young adults he brought could return.
The sword pillar is the pillar of this place, and those young adults are the foundation of this place. No one who lives here wants these people to die.
At the same time, many people knew that Daozhu went outside the village to eliminate evil spirits.
Once the sword pillar fails, it means that someone will be displaced. Under such circumstances, many people's prayers are quite pious.
It was with such piety that Lu Chen and others entered the village.
Looking at the worried tribesmen, Daozhu couldn't help but let out a cheer.
"The evil spirits have been vanquished."
As soon as these words came out, the scene was silent for a moment, and then cheers and praises surrounded the sword pillar.
"Lord Patriarch, have you defeated the evil spirit?"
"I knew that the patriarch would not fail."
The cheers made Daozhu look a little embarrassed. He quickly stopped the shouts of the tribesmen and pushed Lu Chen out.
"It was not me who killed the evil spirits, but His Highness Prince Chen. His Royal Highness passed by here and helped us clean up the evil spirits."
"Hey, there's no need to push me out."
In front of the village, Lu Chen was pestered by the tribesmen for a long time before he found a room to rest.
Of course, although Lu Chen said that you can just find a room at will, the clan leader here still vacated the best room, although even the best room is not very exquisite.
Ignoring the disturbances from the outside world and replacing the two ghosts and gods to protect him, Lu Chen himself quickly fell into a deep sleep.
…
Under the protection of the two great ghosts and gods, Lu Chen's deep sleep was not disturbed at all.
Three hours later, around eight o'clock in the morning, Lu Chen woke up.
At this time, his spirit, body, and blood had all recovered. This also meant that Lu Chen could start again.
Originally, Lu Chen was prepared not to disturb others, but after he woke up, Lu Chen found that outside the house, Wu Zhu and the clan leader Daozhu were guarding outside, which made Lu Chen embarrassed to leave without saying goodbye.
"Come in!"
"Did we wake up His Highness? Really..."
"No need to apologize. I slept until I woke up naturally. What do you want?"
Not wanting to waste time, Lu Chen asked directly.
The direct question made the people in charge here look at each other. Finally, it was Wu Zhu who spoke here and said: "We are here to thank His Highness. At the same time, we would like to know why His Highness travels at night. Is there anything we can do for you?"
"
"You saw me appearing at night and thought I was in trouble. Do you want to help? The people here are pretty good."
It is always pleasant to meet people who are grateful. Therefore, Lu Chen said directly: "I appreciate your kindness, but I have nothing to do. I only go out to open the road between my tribe and the royal court."
That’s all.”
"As you know, I am building a village and am preparing to take people back. It is difficult to travel by land, so I plan to go there first..."
Lu Chen talked about setting up a village, but Lu Chen didn't pay too much attention to exploring the road.
But what he didn't expect was that before he finished speaking, Wu Zhu and Daozhu of Zhu Village suddenly stood up.
"Open up the connection between the two places. Your Highness, you want to open up a safe road."
"Well, what's wrong?"
Lu Chen, who lives in the 21st century of China, can walk on all roads without hindrance, so he has not yet understood what a safe road means in this era.
That is the line of life and the road to money!
Even the barbarian tribes need to trade with other places. Moreover, if there is a safe lifeline, the barbarians will not have to ask the royal court for help when they are in danger. They can gather warriors from several villages.
Use your strength to protect the village.
It can be said that after the road is opened, the village will be much better.
Not to mention, most of the roads are now deserted. Once there is a safe road connection, countless businessmen will flock here.
In this way, as long as you follow that safe road, the accommodation fee alone will be enough to make a lot of money on these village roads.
It can be said that as long as there are safe roads and some special minerals in the two places, there will be no poverty here.
However, although a safe road has many benefits, opening the road is not easy.
Even if the roads here may still contain some dangers, ordinary towns cannot open up a major road.
Only truly large tribes have sufficient strength.
There is no way. If you want to open a road, it means facing countless dangers in the wilderness. It is impossible without enough strength.
Lu Chen was a surprise. First of all, he was very strong, which allowed Lu Chen to deal with most dangers.
But the most important thing is the existence of Avalon.
Without the recovery ability provided by Avalon, Lu Chen could only advance for an hour at most a day, and then rest.
In this way, it would be impossible for him to open up a road.
Even with Lu Chen's strength, he could not open a safe road without Avalon. This is enough to prove how difficult it is to build a road in this era, but because of its scarcity, how precious it is to build one.
At this time, both Daozhu and Wu Zhu felt that something was about to change here.
"If there is a road connecting here, we will be completely safe."
This was Wu Zhu's idea, while Daozhu thought even more.
After his face changed for a while, he simply gritted his teeth and said directly: "Your Highness, I don't know if you need an affiliated village. Our village is willing to follow Your Highness."
"You are willing to follow me, are you sure?"
Daozhu's decision surprised Lu Chen.
In the wilderness, most villages belong to the royal court, but some villages belong to nearby lords.
But if you want those tribes to surrender, most of them require war.
There is no way, tribe affiliation is not a matter of words, it is more about interests.
If a tribe surrenders to other lords, those lords can levy taxes on the surrendered tribes.
There are still two taxes, one for the royal court and the other for the lords who belong to it.
Therefore, if possible, no tribe is willing to submit to other lords.
But when faced with Lu Chen's question, Daozhu's answer was somewhat decisive.
"We do."
After finishing speaking, as if he was afraid that Lu Chen would misunderstand, he even took the initiative and said:
"Your Highness, this crisis has made me understand that we alone cannot gain a foothold in the wilderness. We can only survive under the protection of the strong. Your Highness, you are very strong, so we are willing to surrender."
After taking a deep look at him, Lu Chen hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement with his submission.
"Okay, I agree."
"However, I will discuss the specific issues with you when I take people back to the tribe. Now, I want to continue to open the road."
As he said this, a black evil ghost figure suddenly appeared behind Lu Chen, rolled up Lu Chen's body, and the ghost figure and Lu Chen disappeared without a trace.
Seeing Lu Chen disappear suddenly, Daozhu and Wu Zhu both looked around in horror for a long time.
"Such a strong ability, worthy of His Highness the Prince."
Looking at the place where Lu Chen disappeared, Wu Zhu finally pulled Daozhu to a nearby room, frowned and said to Daozhu: "Do you really want to surrender? We don't have much supplies, and we probably won't be able to pay two taxes.
"
These words made Daozhu smile bitterly: "I can't do it without surrender. Your Highness the Prince has worked hard to open up a safe road and pass through our tribe. This is a good thing. But it is also a disaster. Other tribes will not let us sit back and take it.
A lot of profit.”
There is another thing Daozhu didn't say, that is, he is afraid that if he doesn't surrender now, he will be conquered by His Highness the Prince later. As a conquered village, they will have to pay a higher price.
"Even if His Highness the Prince is merciful, the son of the leader under His Highness will not let go of our tribe. Rather than surrendering to the son of the leader, it would be better to be controlled by His Highness the Prince."
Not all barbarians are stupid, there are always some smart people out there.
Daozhu was considered half, so he had a lot to consider. As for the lack of supplies that Wu Zhu was worried about, Daozhu was not too worried.
"As long as His Highness opens the road and provides some supplies, we will be able to earn money very quickly."
…
Lu Chen still couldn't understand Daozhu's thoughts.
Although there were reminders from others, Lu Chen still didn't fully understand the meaning of a safe road. Therefore, he still opened the road in order to let the tribesmen come over.
In order to reach the royal court quickly and to kill more, Lu Chen entered the land of shadows. This place was still gray and there were many evil spirits hiding in it.
Without any politeness, he summoned the fourth ghost god, Saya of Frost, and after expanding the frost domain, Lu Chen let go of his aura and let out an angry war cry, attracting the arrival of evil spirits.
Afterwards, Lu Chen walked toward the royal court step by step, accompanied by the cold wind and frost.
There were obviously more evil spirits in the Land of Shadows than at night, but this did not pose a threat to Lu Chen.
In this regard, Lu Chen has no pride. He knows very well that the danger outside at night may be high, but it is actually inland.
In the past, Lu Chen had wondered why the strong barbarians didn't take action to sweep across the land and restore peace to the world, even if this peace was short-lived.
Later, Lu Chen understood that it wasn't that the barbarians didn't want to do it, but that they didn't have enough strength to do it.
The most dangerous thing about the invasion of evil spirits is not the real world. Even the real world at night will only be affected.
The first battlefield for human beings to resist evil spirits is in the treacherous realm.
The enchanted realm is the intersection between the polluted world and the real world. The endless filthy atmosphere comes from the enchanted realm.
Regarding the strange environment, no matter where the human beings are, they all have an attitude of exterminating them all.
However, some treacherous realms have grown up, and there is a world behind them. Endless evil spirits pour into the enchanted realms, and humans cannot kill them all.
And this has also caused a large number of strong human beings to be stationed in the treacherous environment.
After all, if the enchanted realm is occupied by evil spirits, a huge amount of filthy air will enter the world from the enchanted realm.
If the number of treacherous places controlled by evil spirits increases, the situation of peace during the day and danger at night will completely change.
At that time, the filthy air will form one after another and form a thick gray fog that will block the sun. At that time, there will be no daylight.
At this point, the world here is truly over.
Therefore, the real strong people are all in the deception realm, and there are just some wandering evil spirits outside, and the filthy air leaking from the deception realm contaminates the objects in the world, forming new evil spirits.
The time when these new evil spirits were formed was still very short, so Lu Chen felt relaxed.
"After building the village well, I will also clean up the treacherous situations. I hope I can break one. As soon as the dungeons are broken, the rewards from heaven and earth will come as scheduled. At that time, I will not only gain experience points, but also luck points.
"
"Although the longer the illusion is, the more difficult it is to break through, but once it is broken, the rewards it brings will be huge."
When the time comes, heaven and earth all work together to prevent heroes from being free!
This luck is luck. If you don't squander it wantonly, luck can make people healthy throughout their lives.
"Forget it, don't think about it so much, let's move on... Well, has this feeling reached you?"
Turning his head, Lu Chen discovered that the black shadow attached to his back had now solidified.
The third ghost and god: Kaija of the afterimage, the advancement begins!
