"Here's your luggage." Valencia jumped down from the horse and strenuously moved the big luggage in front of Tang Ling.
"Thank you." Tang Ling took the luggage with one hand and easily carried it on his back.
"Walk 7 km ahead and you'll find a small pond. You can take a shower there," Valencia reminded him. He could not travel far with his clothes covered in blood.
"Mm-hmm. Remember what I said. We'll meet again. "Tang Ling smiled and patted Valencia's shoulder before he turned around to leave.
After the wolf disaster, Tang Ling would not stay in Barbarto Village anymore. The faint sense of danger in his heart did not go away, and the longer he stayed, the stronger the sense of danger would be.
He wanted to leave quietly because he had exposed too much during the battle with the wolf king.
Therefore, he and Valencia agreed to meet at a spot 2.5 km south of the village as a farewell. Valencia would also bring the luggage to him.
At this time, the night wind inexplicably became gentle.
Maybe because the wolf disaster in Barbarto Village had ended, even the wind was a little warmer, allowing the tired villagers to have a good night's rest.
Amid the gentle breeze, Valencia watched as Tang Ling walked further away. She could not help but call out, "Hey, Donnie."
"Hmm?" Tang Ling turned around.
"As a friend, do you really have the heart to not let me know who you are?" Valencia clasped her hands behind her back as she stood in the wind, feeling a little uneasy. She wondered if her request was a little too much.
She was more afraid that Tang Ling would reject her. If that happened, she might just be a very, very insignificant friend in his heart.
"Hmph." Tang Ling chuckled and stopped. He removed his backpack and took out an iron kettle.
He carefully poured some light green liquid from the kettle and smeared it on his hair. His brown hair turned black, and when he smeared it on his brows, his brown brows turned black as well.
Smearing it on his face, his dark skin gradually turned white. To be exact, it was the standard skin of an Asian. It was slightly white, but it also had a healthy wheat color.
In the end, Tang Ling spat out two pieces of wood. They were in the shape of a crescent moon and seemed to fit his teeth perfectly.
As the wooden block was spat out, his originally cute and chubby face became thin and delicate.
His face was pouting, and his eyes were slightly raised. At this moment, they had returned to a normal angle.
"My name is Tang Ling. I came from Safety Sector No. 17 and I'm heading to a faraway place. "Tang Ling smiled at Valencia.
Valencia stared at the unfamiliar young man in shock. Is this the real him? He was handsome, refined, and clean, with a slightly bashful temperament. His black hair and black eyes added a trace of mystery to him.
He was a very good-looking youth. Who would have thought that his battle with the Wolf King on the grassland was so fierce? He was like a demon king.
As for Tang Ling, the name was unfamiliar to her, but it was instantly carved into her heart.
"I'm not trying to guard against you. I just want to remind you to remember this name and never tell anyone about it. Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble, something scarier than the wolves," Tang Ling said seriously.
"Ah? What did you do? "Valencia was shocked.
"I didn't do anything bad." Tang Ling sounded calm.
"I believe you." As a matter of fact, Valencia's heart was rumbling with gratitude. If his identity would bring him a lot of trouble, he would rather not hide it.
This was trust. This was what the Prairies people believed in — exchanging sincerity for sincerity.
"I'll be going now. You, grow up well. No matter what happens, please remember that my situation won't be any worse than a guy named Tang Ling. "Tang Ling smiled sincerely.
"Hmph." Valencia also smiled. "You are younger than me, so you should grow up well. Remember that there's a girl named Valencia in Barbarto Village? She'll grow stronger at any moment and she's waiting to compete with you. "
"Okay, I'll be going now." Tang Ling stuffed the wooden block back into his mouth and kept the kettle away. He turned around and waved at Valencia in the night breeze.
Valencia did not say goodbye because they would meet again.
She firmly believed that from the moment she met Tang Ling, it was the Goddess of the Prairies' arrangement. It was the turning point in her life.

Splash! Tang Ling popped his head up from the pond. He washed the blood off his body and tossed the bloody clothes into the fire to burn. He then tossed a fish beside the fire before he climbed out of the pond.
The grassland was a great place. Even a small pond like this could barely reach level 5 drinking water, unlike the settlement. If one did not drink the water for daily use, it would always carry a faint polluted smell.
Drinking that kind of water would result in an extremely scary outcome, but how scary was it? Tang Ling had never seen it before. He had only heard about it since he was young.
He roasted the fish and took out some vicious beast meat to make soup. He was hungry after the battle, so he needed to replenish himself.
The night was not suitable for traveling either. Although the six places where the wolves attacked were a certain distance away from the grassland, who knew what kind of danger the grassland would face at night?
Looking at the dancing fire, the desolate loneliness in Tang Ling's heart rose again.
Traveling was always like this. A second ago, it was bustling and lively, but the next second, he would be alone on the road again. He had to get used to it. He could not keep thinking about the past and the past every time they parted.
Tang Ling did not want to let his thoughts wander, so he took out another iron pot and started to smear it on his hair, brows, and face.
The formula in the two iron pots was something that Su Siao had recorded in the black book. It was a very practical formula that could only change the color of one's skin, but it was enough to change a person's appearance.
The discoloring agent concocted with a secret recipe could not be washed off with normal water. Only a special liquid concocted by someone who was knowledgeable about discoloring agents could wash it off. Tang Ling had used one of the special liquids to remove Valencia's make-up.
More importantly, the ingredients for the two formulas were plants and they were not rare. Since the Herrocky Mountain Ridge was rich in resources, Tang Ling was able to gather them easily.
"As a matter of fact, don't think that hiding yourself is too difficult. It's just something simple but the process is complicated.
"If we say that changing one's appearance, skin color, height, and weight can cause a person to undergo a major change, then changing one's physique and physique can change a person's physique. Some small tricks can even change one's bone structure. It's not as complicated as you think, like putting something in one's mouth …
"The complicated part is in the details and habits. That's what you have to pay attention to. In short, temperament … "
After smearing the secret formula, Tang Ling took out the little book that Su Siao gave him and started reading.
As a matter of fact, as his last words, Tang Ling thought that he would write something solemn in it.
Like the Dragon Army, his identity, or some other important matters and secrets.
Unfortunately, there were none of those.
Su Siao's book was more like an encyclopedia of life that he would write whatever he wanted to.
Maybe Tang Ling's fate of running for his life had been decided and he had predicted it, so the encyclopedia in the book focused on the practical rules of running for his life.
Yes, he had predicted that Tang Ling would run for his life.
Tang Ling lay down on the grass and covered his face with the book. In the end, Su Siao must have followed Tang Feng to prepare this because he trusted him.
It was indeed practical. According to Su Siao's notebook, this set of concealment and disguise techniques came from a master of disguise in the Dragon Army — Lord Thousand Face. It was a technique that Su Siao learned in a short time.
In short, if it were not for Su Siao's personal friendship with him, no one else would have been able to learn this technique.
However, time flew by.
Where did all those fascinating people go? Tang Ling experienced the benefits of this technique firsthand, so he was even more moved by it.
While he was thinking about the question, he did not notice that even though Su Siao did not mention anything about the Dragon Army in the booklet, everything about the Dragon Army had seeped into his heart in a trivial way, and it was hard for him to remove it.

In the old civilization, a two-person flyer would be something that would satisfy most people's fantasies of flying.
It was not big and was just a box that was connected to the front and back. The person at the front would control the direction while the person at the back would follow.
It was similar to the concept of a two-person bicycle in the old civilization.
During flight, the box that was half a man's height would extend a pair of high-tech wings and a transparent egg-shaped cover would wrap the person inside.
The cover would automatically circulate oxygen and maintain a suitable temperature to protect the person flying in the sky.
As for the wings, they could be flapped to rise into the sky, but it was not practical.
Firstly, it could only rise to around 150 meters in the sky.
Secondly, it was very slow.
It might be a hobby of the designer of the high-tech flyer, or it might be a sick hobby, but it was only suitable for showing off.
It would be a joke to underestimate the flyer because of that.
When it started flying, whether it was the speed of ascending or the speed of cruising, it was not any slower than the large passenger planes of the old civilization.
As for comparing it to the most advanced fighter jets of the old civilization? It might be a little inferior.
As a matter of fact, the technology of the old civilization might be able to achieve such a thing, but the problem was the energy source. What kind of energy could sustain such a small flyer and maintain its flight time at the same time?
Unless it could achieve controllable nuclear fusion? It was an important step for the old civilization to step out of this planet, fly out of this small solar system, and explore the universe.
Unfortunately, the old civilization had just started researching this great technology when the Purple Moon era arrived.
The more unfortunate thing was that the Purple Moon era had a strong energy source, the Universal Source Rock, and the batteries that were made from the rock's energy, but the technological inheritance was cut off and scattered everywhere.
Moreover, there was a mysterious super-advanced technology that no one knew where it came from. Due to the loss of technological inheritance and some other reasons, the super-advanced technology could not be mass-produced to benefit the entire human race.
That was why such a strange era was formed.
Primitive and advanced coexisted while backward and forward coexisted. The primitive people who were isolated from information and the people who looked at the universe from a higher height than the old civilization lived under the same sky.
Just like this grassland, it should be the classic example of primitive, backward, and isolated.
Tang Long removed the flyer from his body, sat down, and began to cultivate. The two-person flyer looked cool, but in fact, using it for long-distance flight was not a very pleasant thing.
After all, it was not a large passenger plane from the old civilization that could provide comfortable service.
All one had to face was the endless sky and the buzzing noise in one's ears.
"Young Master Long. After five minutes, someone will come to pick us up. "At this time, Li Wu also unloaded the Flyer and started to pack some things.
Tang Long did not show any expression. For some reason, ever since he arrived at the grassland, he had a strange feeling in his heart. What was this strange feeling? Tang Long had no idea what it was.
"Oh right, Young Master Long. Tonight is the night of the wolves, so it might not be that peaceful. "Li Wu thought about it and felt that it was necessary to report the incident.
"Are the wolves powerful?" Tang Long opened his eyes slightly.
"Not powerful. I can easily kill a whole pack by myself. The only strange thing is that these wolves will automatically retreat every time the sun rises. "Li Wu curled his lips.
"I don't care, and I don't care." Tang Long closed his eyes.
Li Wu was asking for a snub. Was there a need to report such a trivial matter? However, if Young Master Long were to ask about it, he would surely feel that he was not doing his job well.
Li Wu's mind was in a mess as he thought about some boring things. Raising his head, he saw a large horse carriage speeding towards him from afar.
At the same time, Tang Long opened his eyes and asked without warning, "Li Wu, what's the connection between the Ark Searcher and the Beginning Project?"
"Ugh." Li Wu's forehead started to heat up. As a matter of fact, he did not know what the connection was.
Given his identity, he could at least know a little bit about the Ark Seeking Project. However, it was already very impressive that he knew the name of the Initial Project.
How was he supposed to answer such a question? Even with Young Master Long's identity, he only knew a little about it, so how could he know more?
Fortunately, Tang Long had no intention of letting Li Wu answer. He only muttered to himself, "Perhaps all the secrets will be easily solved if we really know about the First Search Project."
"Godfather, why do you want me to participate in the Ark Searcher now?" Tang Long mumbled. His voice was so soft that even Li Wu did not catch what he was saying.
At this moment, the spacious carriage had already arrived in front of Tang Long and Li Wu.
Compared to Tang Long's floating wagon, the wagon was simple and crude, but the horses pulling it were all red-maned iron-scaled horses. It was considered the best form of transportation in the grasslands.
The Stardust Council could not be too ostentatious here, but Tang Long did not show any special reaction.
However, Tang Long didn't show any special reaction. He tried his best to suppress the strange feeling in his heart, then boarded the carriage and said indifferently, "Let's go."
The wind in the grasslands was extra gentle that night. It was a lot more comfortable compared to the chilly wind in the sky.
However, the moment Tang Long boarded the wagon, his heart was strangely agitated, to the point that the wind around him started to go wild.
