If it wasn't for the weak sense of space, Tang Shidao wouldn't have felt anything unusual. However, because the sense of space still had a very small effect, and with the Thunder Eagle flying in the sky, Tang Shidao vaguely felt that there was a layer of 'net' around the planet. Although he couldn't be absolutely sure, he was sure that something was wrong.
Of course, being sure and not being sure wouldn't change anything.
Right now, he was just a 'mortal'. Even if he was randomly sent to the era of electrical civilization, it wouldn't be easy to figure out space. The limited technology was too weak compared to the magic power of the gods. The human jade plane was a world that even the scarecrow avoided. Its secrets might not be clear even if a realm master came in.
Tang Shidao had been to the mad plane many times.
He already knew that there were some special planes in the Sorcerer Net that even a realm master couldn't handle, and it was hard to say if there was a higher level.
So.
He just remembered the abnormality in the sky and didn't think about it anymore.
The two hurried on.
Along the way, they saw many wild animals. Surprisingly, their lives were very good, and it was more than they had imagined. According to the information, these wild animals weren't on the monsters' menu. Or rather, the monsters rarely attacked them, and usually only attacked humans. Along the way, they only saw one monster: a crocodile with six legs and a thorny back.
In addition to being bigger, it was even weirder than a normal crocodile, as if it was a composite of several life forms.
Tang Shidao and Bai Bi both "smelled" that its saliva was poisonous.
Because they only had wooden sticks and no steel weapons, they didn't want to fight against the ten-meter-long crocodile. After all, there was only one transformation here, and no healing spells. That meant that you could bleed to death from a deep cut, and there was no chance for a broken arm to grow back. Under such circumstances, it was too stupid to fight with the half-hidden crocodile in the water.
The crocodile also saw Tang Shidao and Bai Bi, but it didn't take the initiative to cause trouble.
It was obvious.
It felt that these two people were not to be trifled with, and it might not be able to win if it went ashore. Just like that, Tang Shidao and Bai Bi carefully walked past each other. It also stared at them vigilantly, and then the two of them passed each other. Although the mission of the Human Jade Plane was to deal with monsters, and the monsters were set to exterminate the human race, they were not brainless.
Under normal circumstances, monsters would choose to attack based on their strength.
If they were in a group, they would definitely charge forward. If they were alone, they would usually only attack the weak passersby.
"Bai Bi, did you notice?"
"Yes, it's absorbing the energy of nature. It feels like it's similar to our constitution talent. Although the absorption effect was very small, the energy was enough for them to survive without eating. Moreover, if they live for a long time, their strength will probably increase further. "Bai Bi had the same feeling, so she understood what Tang Shidao wanted to say.
"It's impossible for a monster to possess the characteristics of a human's body, but it's possible if it's modified. I'm guessing that transforming into a meteorite will affect them and make them more suitable for the Extinction Game. It's not that it doesn't eat, and staying like this is more beneficial than eating. "
"If that's the case, Brother Tang, then there's only one thing left for it to do."
"Fight."
"Yes, if they don't need to eat, they only need to protect their own territory and rights. There's only one thing left to do. If the extermination of the human race is set, then there must be a voice telling them that humans are the most likely existence to destroy them. So, they will do anything to gain the upper hand. Although I don't know what rules the Human Jade will produce, this setting will lead us to be unable to tame them. "Bai Bi had learned a lot and quickly adapted to the identity of a mortal.
However.
During the conversation, Bai Bi noticed something: Brother Tang didn't seem to be focused on the mission strategy. He seemed to be thinking about something else.
In fact.
In the Human Jade mission, there were many mages who only wanted to cultivate and were completely uninterested in the mission. But Brother Tang promised that he would definitely not ignore the mission. As the most famous mission strategy expert on the Mage Network, he wouldn't be scared.
Thinking about it.
Did Brother Tang have another strategy that was different from everyone else's?
Or did he find some key factor?
"We're almost there." Tang Shidao saw Bai Bi frown but didn't explain. Indeed, it was very stupid to only do the mission in this mission. Even if they were to jog, the feeling of the energy increase was very strong. Although the mortal body didn't change much, the other side was like a sponge absorbing water. In this case, the Human Jade Plane itself had some kind of hidden hint.
Unfortunately, Tang Shidao didn't know much about this place.
"The sisters who entered the ancient dynasty once said that most of the people in the ancient dynasty weren't xenophobic. As long as they were also of the human race, they generally wouldn't refuse. Even if the appearance and skin color were somewhat different, as long as they weren't monsters, they wouldn't be rejected. I think we can directly enter the city. "Bai Bi did a lot of research.
Whether it was ancient or modern, she understood everything.
While talking.
The two walked on the main road and found that there weren't many people coming and going. Even if there were, there would be a group of armored guards following them. There were no villages or small towns nearby. The only building was the ancient city, an ancient city with high walls made of stone. There were also some tall sentry towers around the ancient city, distributed in different positions to monitor the surrounding situation.
They walked to the ancient city.
From afar, they could see the words "Tiger Mountain City" engraved on the main gate of the ancient city.
Besides.
At the foot of the city, sharpened wooden stakes protruded like sharp teeth, covering all the places outside the main gate. Occasionally, there would be a small gap, and a rope and a bamboo basket would hang down from the top of the city wall. It looked like it was for the sentries in an emergency. There was also a faint smell of blood on these wooden stakes. It was the blood of both beasts and humans.
On the city wall, there was a giant crossbow at intervals.
The soldiers on the city wall each carried a crossbow on their back. Only a few people carried bows and arrows. These soldiers always had their swords and shields with them, and they didn't take off their armor when they were patrolling. What was more surprising was that most of the soldiers' armor was animal skin, and some were even inlaid with scales.
The design of the ancient city's main gate was a little strange.
It was easy to close from the inside, but difficult to open from the outside. There was a thick layer of iron and steel on the gate, and there were some shallow scratches on it.
There were two rows of soldiers on both sides of the main gate, with five people in each row.
It was different from what they imagined.
They weren't here to collect taxes or check identities. They only did one thing on both sides: look at faces. Some people with strange looks or bodies would be stopped. As long as they were confirmed to be human, they would never make things difficult, whether you were rich or beggar.
"Bai Bi, are there any humanoid monsters?" Tang Shidao was puzzled.
"There are some, such as lizard monsters or water demons. It's impossible to sneak in during the day, but during the war, it's not difficult to sneak in by wearing people's clothes and covering their faces. In terms of body size, they are similar to humans. "Bai Bi explained, and she could see what the soldiers were checking.
The two of them talked as they walked.
Suddenly.
A hawker was pulled out and locked up in the blink of an eye.
"I'm not a monster … … I'm not a monster … …" The hawker shouted loudly, but the people around him carefully avoided him.
At this time.
The soldiers on the city wall had already turned the giant crossbows and aimed at the scene of the incident. The soldiers guarding the gate drew their swords and raised their shields, ready to fight at any time. In the next second, the squad leader waved his hand: "No, he's not a monster, he's not dangerous. But his arm was poisoned by demonic poison, and it might be transmitted to others. So, you can either leave Tiger Mountain City, or we'll cut off your arm. "
"No, no, I'm fine … … I'm fine … … Don't cut off my arm, I still have to feed my family." The hawker begged for mercy, and a cunning look flashed in his eyes, which turned into sadness in the blink of an eye.
"I know it's not fatal. But this poison will emit a stench, and it will attract dog-headed monsters. "
"No, I can't live without hands."
"Then please leave this city."
"No, I can't live outside. My arm was poisoned, and the dog-headed monsters will definitely find me. No, don't chase me away. I still have some money, officer, 100, no … … 200 coins, let me in, okay? "The hawker begged.
"No. Tell me, should I leave or cut off? "
"250 … … No, 300, how about 300 coins?"
The hawker continued to plead, and at this moment, the squad leader pulled out his sword and cut off his neck. The soldiers and people at the side looked indifferent, as if this was normal. In their opinion, people who were poisoned by this kind of demonic poison were scourges. If they met him in the outfield, they would have cut him down without a second thought. They were already giving him a chance to ask for his opinion.
A person who did not know when to back down.
Instead of cutting off his arm and leaving behind a resentful person, it was better to end him with a sword so that he would not implicate the other residents … … In this world, human lives were worthless.
The corpse was taken away and burned, and the people continued to be checked before entering the city.
Soon.
Tang Shidao also walked over in small steps: "Excuse me, how did the hawker get infected with the demonic poison?"
The squad leader looked at Bai Bi strangely, and was still stunned when he saw her dirty face. He took a deep breath to calm himself down, and slowly replied: "There's no wound on his arm, he must have secretly peeled the skin of the dog-headed monsters and accidentally got poisoned."
"Don't you guys ban this kind of business?"
"Ban. Not only do we ban it, but we also burn it down. However, there are always people who are crazy about money who take risks and even steal the monsters we kill. Normal people usually don't get poisoned, and even if they do, it would be the soldiers who get poisoned during battle, "the squad leader explained.
"I see. Thank you, are we okay with this? "
"Yes. Young Master, your little wife is too beautiful, and her face is still very eye-catching even with the flowers painted on it. You better be careful, there are no demons in the city, but there are many 'demons'. In this world, some people are even worse than monsters, "the Ten-Man Squad Leader reminded him out of goodwill.
"If someone comes looking for trouble, can we fight back?"
"Of course. If you dare to fight back, it's best to kill the other party. We only protect this city, and we don't have time to protect others. I don't know where you're from, and I don't want to ask. I just want to say that there are laws here, but no one enforces them. Here, you can either rely on your clan or yourself. If you have money, find a demon hunter to protect you, and if you have strength, bring a sword to defend yourself. If you don't have money and strength, hehe, then I have a suggestion. "
"Oh, go ahead."
"Use a knife to disfigure your little wife's face." The squad leader really took out a small knife, indicating that he could lend it to him if he didn't have one.
"Hehe." Tang Shidao laughed, knowing that the squad leader wasn't being malicious, but was being kind. "Based on what you said, the city is also very dangerous. Thank you for the reminder, I'm Tang Shidao, and you are? "
