Chapter 87

Guo Shier left the team and flew into the air. He left the coordinates of this place, but he would not use the talisman gate for the time being. It was very dangerous to use the talisman gate in a different world. There was a 50% chance that the power of the different world would invade the soul, so he would not use it unless it was a last resort.

Flying towards the periphery of the swamp, Guo Shier did not want to come into contact with the local natives. He suddenly took out such a large number of materials, only then did he realize that even if he had a lot of talisman materials, there would be a time when they would be used up. If he could not find replacement materials, then he would not be able to make any progress.

Looking for useful materials, Guo Shier originally wanted to give up the idea, but this time he used a lot of materials, and he did not know if there would be materials that could be replenished in the future, so he must find replacement materials. In the previous few different worlds, he collected some materials and gave them to A Handsome Old Man to study. The results were not bad. Many materials could be used, but they needed a lot of rune blessing. The effect was worse than the natural talisman materials in the Talisman World, but they could be used.

This was a result that made Guo Shier happy, so now he had the idea of collecting materials.

A Handsome Old Man found a phenomenon. Runes could be blessed on any material, but the effect was different. Some materials could only carry a small amount of rune power, while some materials were natural rune carriers that could carry a large amount of rune power. After testing, he found a lot of good materials. With this experimental result, in the future, no matter where he went, he could carry out the task of collecting materials.

The so-called materials could be found everywhere, it just depended on whether he could find them. There were several ways for Guo Shier to collect materials. One was to go to the shops to look for them, and the other was to search for them himself. He preferred to search for them himself. Of course, it was not as convenient and fast as going to the shops to buy them. No matter how powerful a person was, it was impossible to collect a lot of materials.

Guo Shier quickly flew out of the swamp. This swamp covered a large area. Outside the swamp was a large area of sparse trees, mixed with clusters of shrubs and weeds. There were many wild beasts and herbivores here. It was a deserted wasteland.

This time, Guo Shier did not fly in the air. He wandered aimlessly in the wasteland.

Along the way, Guo Shier and A Handsome Old Man chatted. He said, "A Handsome Old Man, when we reach the outside world, you should be able to reincarnate. Do you want me to help you seal it?"

A Handsome Old Man laughed bitterly and said, "If you help me seal it, who will help you seal it? Do you think you are immortal?"

Guo Shi 'er and the handsome old man had already become a pair of life and death, and no one could leave the other.

No one could leave the other, A Handsome Old Man said, "Wait until you reach the outside world and reincarnate … then think about my reincarnation. Haha, I hope … you can come find me after reincarnation. It's a pity that Falconer and Luo Zhan did not come with me. If they were here, I would be more at ease."

Guo Shier had a bitter expression on his face. Not only did he not bring Falconer and Luo Zhan with him, but he had also lost the chance to find Gu Mu and Mo Nier forever. This accident made it impossible for him to return to the Talisman World. When he truly left the Talisman World, he realized that he had deep feelings for it.

He sighed and said, "Ah, there is no medicine for regret …" He knew that he had been too careful, which was why Falconer and Luo Zhan had stayed behind. Even if he regretted it now, there was no chance to make up for it.

A Handsome Old Man comforted him, "Maybe it's better for them not to follow us. Kid, don't be sad."

Guo Shier said, "Forget it, I don't want to talk about it. A Handsome Old Man, should we look for the natives here … and see if there are any materials to collect? Oh, let's try to keep a low profile to avoid conflict. We will be staying here for a long time, so it's good to find something to do."

A Handsome Old Man said, "We seem to have passed many cities and villages along the way …"

Guo Shier said, "We won't turn back. There is a sea over there that is too strange. We will keep walking forward and see if there are any natives."

A Handsome Old Man said, "Alright, you decide."

Guo Shier was not in a hurry. He walked slowly on the wasteland, not deliberately searching for materials. Instead, he leisurely admired this primitive land. There were herds of bison, elk, antelope, and other animals. There were also a large number of wild rabbits and pheasants. As for the ferocious beasts, most of them were lions, leopards, and wolves. It was very similar to the African grasslands in his previous life, but there were more types of animals here. There were many wild beasts that he had never seen before. Of course, these wild beasts were not a threat to him at all.

Humans might not be able to sense the soul waves emitted from Guo Shier, but the wild beasts could clearly feel it. They could feel the huge threat, so naturally, they did not dare to come close. And when Guo Shier walked into their territory, they would sensibly retreat, not daring to be arrogant or angry.

Looking at the ferocious beasts whimpering and running away, Guo Shier could not help but laugh. "These beasts are very clever, hehe."

A Handsome Old Man said, "This small world seems very peaceful. There are no particularly powerful beasts."

Ever since Guo Shier entered that world, he had this feeling. It was a very strange feeling because his soul did not feel threatened. That was very rare. Professionals who practiced the soul had an instinctive sense of danger. In this world, the only time he felt threatened was not by intelligent creatures. It was natural. Aside from that, he did not feel anything.

"Perhaps that is why Big Brother Li Ran and Big Sister Zhen decided to redesign the Break World here. If it was a place with a lot of threat, I do not think they would have decided to refine it here."

A Handsome Old Man said, "I hope this is a quiet small world."

Guo Shier kept walking and stopping. He was very slow. He hunted a bison and barbecued it on the grasslands. Although there were more than a dozen scavenging vultures flying around him, he still took his time to eat his fill. He only ate a small part of the bison. The rest of the bison was eaten by the wild beasts that gathered around him after he left.

Along the way, Guo Shier tried to test the power of the local beasts. He noticed they were not worth mentioning. None of the beasts could withstand his attacks. Slowly, he lost interest in testing them.

A Handsome Old Man reminded him, "If you walk like this, you will not be able to go far. You should fly. That is the only way you can find the natives."

Guo Shier nodded and flew up. This time, he successfully flew into the sky. Then, he sped up and flew forward. After crossing this grassland, they soon saw the continuous stretch of mountains. It took him about three days to fly past the endless mountains and enter the plains. It was a boundless primeval forest.

After flying for another five days, he finally flew out of the forest. Guo Shier saw a small village in the distance. There were a few stone houses scattered around. There was a small stream and a curved stone road. However, there was no one in sight.

Guo Shier fell from the sky. Before he could stand firm, he heard a scream. A small figure stumbled towards the stone house. It was a child wearing half a fur coat.

Slowly walking to the front of the stone house, Guo Shier looked around curiously. It was a low stone house built with mountain rocks. The roof was made of logs. It was very simple and primitive. A fence was made of wood as thick as the mouth of a bowl, forming a small yard. There were two tall trees beside the stone house. There were a few chickens leisurely looking for food in the yard.

Guo Shier asked, "Is anyone here?"

An old man walked out of the house. Behind him was a child. He hid behind the old man in fear and peeped at him. The old man spoke a few words. Guo Shier could not help but smile bitterly. He did not understand the language of the local natives.

However, Guo Shier could feel that the old man did not have any evil intentions. He was very calm. He had seen many people from the other world. Therefore, he could roughly guess the meaning of the old man's words. The old man opened the small gate on the fence and politely invited Guo Shier into the house.

The inside of the stone house was very shady and simple. The floor was paved with gravel and very clean. There was a small fire pit in the middle. A jar was hung on a wooden frame. There was a charcoal fire under it, emitting a faint red light. In the corner of the stone house, there were a few wooden boards and animal skins of various sizes. Those should be the beds.

Above the jar, there were seven or eight pieces of smoked cured meat. The old man moved a straw cushion, similar to a praying mat. He invited Guo Shier to sit down. The child stared curiously at Guo Shier. There was a trace of fear in her eyes. This was a very delicate little girl. She had seen Guo Shier fall from the sky with her own eyes. How could she not be afraid?

Guo Shier took out a bag of candied fruits and waved to the little girl. He first picked up a candied fruit and put it in his mouth. Then, he handed the bag over.

The little girl hesitated. She looked up at the old man. It seemed that she did not know what to do. She already knew that there was food in the small bag. For a child, food was always very tempting.

The old man smiled warmly and nodded to the little girl.

The little girl slowly stretched out her little hand. When she approached the small bag, she suddenly grabbed it and hid behind the old man. Guo Shier could not help but chuckle.

The little girl put a candied fruit in her mouth. Her face immediately revealed a surprised expression. She immediately took out another candied fruit and stuffed it into the old man's mouth. The old man smiled and nodded. He reached out and touched her little head, showing a loving expression.

Guo Shier was slightly moved. He was touched by the little girl's action. It was a very warm feeling. He had not felt this for a very long time. His eyes softened. During this period of time when he was intensely attacking the various small worlds in hopes of breaking out, even if he was not the team leader, the pressure was like a mountain. It made him feel suffocated. The scene before him made him feel relaxed.

Because he could not communicate for the time being, Guo Shier was not in a hurry to say anything. He only sat quietly.

The old man said something and walked out of the room with the little girl. Moments later, he heard the cry of a chicken in the courtyard. Guo Shier immediately understood that the old man was catching chickens with the little girl. He was probably going to cook for him.

Soon, the old man came in with a naked chicken. He smiled. He picked up an earthen jar in the corner of the room. He filled it with water and replaced the jar on the shelf. Then, he put the washed naked chicken into the jar and closed the mouth of the jar with a wooden lid. The little girl came in with a small bundle of firewood.

Guo Shier looked at the busy grandfather and granddaughter with a smile. His heart was calm.
