Chapter 2237 Arriving at the Village, the Strange Village Chief
"Ouch!"
Lin Qi was sitting in the car, and couldn't help but make a sound as the road was bumpy.
On the other hand, Ling Tian on the other side looked out the window quietly. Everywhere he looked was dry, without any trace of plants.
"Is there no one living outside the city walls?"
Ling Tian asked curiously, and Lin Qi shook his head: "Yes, there are, but those villages are almost all underground. It is difficult to survive on the ground."
"Underground?" Ling Tian raised his eyebrows.
"Well, after all, there are countless monsters on the surface. If it's a warrior, it's okay, but if it's an ordinary person, it's almost impossible to escape from the monsters, so over time, no one lives on the surface anymore."
"That's it..."
Ling Tian was lost in thought, when Miaomiao's voice suddenly flashed through his mind.
When I first arrived here, I met Miaomiao by chance.
Her goal is to become a guard and then enter the county town.
But since that day, there seems to be no news.
"Brother, there is a car not far away. It should be another expedition team."
Ever since killing Wu Hao, Lin Qi likes to call Ling Tian "Big Brother".
According to what he said, Ling Tian was very powerful and helped him recover his strength, so he should be his elder brother.
Ling Tian naturally would not refuse this.
As for the car not far away, Ling Tian had already discovered it, and he also knew that there were two people in this team, one at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and the other at the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
But the two men were far away from the car, so it was likely that the car had been abandoned.
Sure enough, Lin Qi stopped the car and after observing for a while, he found that the other party's car had a problem and could not start.
I thought I could find some supplies, but to my surprise, there was nothing inside.
"It seems they don't want to go back to the county city yet." Lin Qi frowned slightly, then turned to look at Ling Tian: "Brother, what do you say? Chase them?"
“No need to chase.” Ling Tian shook his head: “There are seven intermediate monsters not far away. They can’t run away.”
"How many?! Seven?!"
Hearing that there were such a large number of intermediate monsters, Lin Qi couldn't help but widen his eyes, his eyes full of surprise.
He didn't expect that there would be so many monsters nearby, and they were intermediate-level monsters!
"Aren't there any high-level monsters?" Lin Qi looked around.
"Nothing has been found yet. Keep going. Remember to write down the route so you don't get lost."
"That's not the case." Lin Qi chuckled, took out his watch, and opened a map: "This is a map outside the city wall. I found it from Wu Hao. What do you think, big brother? Am I awesome?!"
Looking at Lin Qi's expression as if he was waiting for praise, Ling Tian smiled helplessly and nodded.
This guy, I don’t know whether to say he is smart or what to say about him.
But the map he found is indeed the best aid for the two of them at this stage.
Ling Tian thought about it, looked around, and then looked at Lin Qi and said, "See if there is a village chief nearby. We need to replenish our supplies."
"Okay, brother, wait a moment."
Lin Qi nodded, opened the map and looked at it for a while, then pointed to the north: "There is a village about 20 kilometers away, do you want to go and take a look?"
"Let's go."
They got in the car and left.
The car moved forward slowly, and after about half an hour, a huge rock appeared in front of us.
A huge black rock suddenly appeared on the ground.
When he saw the boulder, Lin Qi smiled and said, "That's the village. Behind the boulder should be the entrance."
After saying that, Lin Qi stopped the car, went over the boulder, and indeed saw a small entrance.
It was like the entrance to a basement. It was pitch black inside and nothing could be seen.
Seeing this scene, Ling Tian frowned slightly: "Are you sure this is the village?"
"Sure! Big brother, you have to trust me. I'll go in front and you follow behind me."
"Row."
Ling Tian nodded, followed Lin Qi's footsteps, and the two walked towards the entrance together.
The moment you walked in, it was pitch dark.
Lin Qi turned on the flashlight he brought from the car, and the scene in front of him began to slowly emerge.
The entrance in front of me is indeed similar to a basement.
I can’t see the end of the stairs going down, but I can feel a hint of warmth slowly drifting out from under the stairs.
"arrive."
As Lin Qi spoke, an iron gate appeared in front of them.
Looking at the iron gate, Lin Qi took a deep breath, walked up and started knocking on the door.
Knock, knock, knock~ There was a knock on the door, and some sounds came from the iron gate. Then, a small window appeared in the middle of the iron gate, and a pair of black pupils appeared.
"Who?"
"The County City Expedition Team would like to replenish supplies."
"Expedition team?" The pair of pupils looked at the two of them and then asked, "Where is the pass?"
"This……"
When Lin Qi took out the ring, the small window was suddenly closed, and then the iron door was slowly opened.
Creak! The iron gate made a harsh sound, probably because it was so old. At this moment, Ling Tian finally saw the owner of those pupils.
The man was about 1.7 meters tall, with a square face, a beard and a thin build. There was nothing special about him.
But Ling Tian could feel that the person in front of him was in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and his realm was not too low for those outside the city walls.
"Why did your expedition team come to our village?" the man said in a low voice.
"We brought a little less when we came out, so..."
"Okay, come in then."
Entering the so-called village was unexpectedly smooth.
After they passed through the iron gate, they saw the so-called village in front of them. It was actually in a space of neither too big nor too small, with thatched houses made of straw. In the middle of the village, a fire was burning, and a dozen people were sitting around it, chatting about something.
After the two people came in, those people continued chatting, as if they were not very interested in Ling Tian and the others.
"I haven't seen your expedition team for a long time." The man said softly, and then stood in front of a thatched house: "This is my house, you can rest here, and you can tell me if you need anything."
"Okay, thank you, Village Chief." Lin Qi said with a smile.
The two walked into the thatched hut. The interior was very simple, with just a stone placed in the corner with some grass on it. It should be the bed of these villagers.
As for the rest of the necessities of life, of course, they are not available.
But when he sat in the house, Ling Tian looked at Lin Qi curiously and asked, "How do you know that person is the village chief?"
"Huh?" Lin Qi was stunned when he heard this, and then explained: "In every village, the village chief has a privilege, that is, he can grow a beard. Except for the village chief, other men cannot grow a beard, so this is the best way to distinguish."
"When a man's beard grows to a certain length, he must duel with the village chief. The winner can continue to grow his beard and become the village chief, while the loser..."
"Do I have to shave my beard?" Ling Tian smiled and shook his head: "This place... is quite interesting."
