Reborn as a fox

Chapter 171 The Deserted Village
The carriage traveled all the way, and in the evening, Xia Wei and Lan Zi arrived at Fengyang Town.

This small town is located in the north of the southern territory of the Kingdom of Mad Snakes, and a little further north is the desert trade road known as the [Silk Road] from Yunxuan Kingdom to the Kingdom of Mad Snakes.

When getting off the car, Xia Wei could smell the faint smell of sand in the air.

Afterwards, the two changed to another carriage and went to the station in Fengyang Town.

Xia Wei doesn't know much about this world right now.But based on the information he knows, the social civilization here is diverse, but most of the material civilization should be in the period of industrial civilization, and this industrial civilization must be preceded by the two prefixes of magic.

Magic technology is the product of the exploration and discovery of ancient ruins. These are not imagined by magicians out of thin air, but technologies that actually have magic theory.

Although most of these technologies are inseparable from magicians, they are more or less mixed with some scientific research theories of non-magic civilizations.For example, physics, chemistry, and mathematics are all involved.

Xia Weiyi has always been curious about what the civilization of this continent was like before the magic catastrophe happened.

He couldn't imagine that in a world where even swords had to be made by hand, it was possible to make a means of transportation like a train, and the speed of it was more than 200 kilometers per hour.

Fortunately, he has seen this kind of thing not once or twice, so after being surprised, he took it calmly.

After all, the impressive memory of smashing a hole in the Avalon with one punch, and the magical technology in this world can't scare Xia Wei, who is already very nervous.

Next, the carriage rushed all the way through Fengyang Town, and after about five hours, it finally arrived at the northernmost part of Fengyang Town.

Here, the signs of desertification in the land of mad snakes have begun to appear.In terms of landform, the high and low mountains that can be seen everywhere along the way have turned into low hills and endless plains.In terms of vegetation, trees are replaced by bushes and weeds.At a glance, the grass grows and warblers fly, and the population is extremely sparse.

At this time, it was getting late and it was difficult for the carriage to travel. The coachman advised Xia Wei to rest nearby for a night, and then send the two of them to the station tomorrow morning.

Xia Wei thought about it, and felt that there was no rush anyway, so she agreed with this opinion.

However, just as she was about to nod her head, Lanzi said that there was a small village to the north, and she asked to travel a little further to live there.

The coachman disagreed, saying that it was dark and the road was dangerous, so what if there was an accident along the way.

Lan Zi said again, you are the coachman, you just need to listen.As for the safety issue, she and Xia Wei will guarantee it.

The coachman also said that there is indeed a village in the north, but that village has long been deserted because of strange things, and it is still haunted in the middle of the night.

Lanzi didn't believe it, and suspected that the coachman was uneasy and kind.

Then you talk to each other, and in the end, the coachman got angry, tuned the horse and left. At this time, no matter what Xia Wei said, the other party would not accept the business in a daze.

Looking at the carriage going away, Xia Wei couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

"Okay, he was driven away by you. I said, isn't it just a night in the open, why should you be suspicious." Xia Wei spread her hands and looked helplessly at the woman beside her.

"Hmph, who told him to have a dishonest face?"

At this time, Lanzi seemed to regret it a little bit, but she still said in a strong tone, with a look on her face that I insisted on my pride.

"You just have to be stubborn."

Xia Wei gave the woman an angry look, found a rock, sat down and rested.

From Manuquan Township to now, it took nearly ten hours in the carriage, and it was a bit uncomfortable all the way upside down.At this moment, I feel down-to-earth and feel much more comfortable, but I feel sleepy for a while.

He couldn't help yawning, stretched his waist, and then twisted his neck, and suddenly there was a sound of bone crackling.

Then he sat lazily on the stone, resting his chin in one hand, and stared at the starry sky.

After watching for a while, he stood up, walked to the girl, picked up the rattan box at the girl's feet, then turned and left.

After walking a few steps, looking back at the girl, Wei Wei said helplessly, "You should still remember the way to that small village, right?"

Lan Zi looked at the boy, was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to her senses, and nodded.

"Let's go then."

"Oh."

……

Two hours later.

When Lan Zi and Xia Wei kept going around, they finally found out that they were lost under the doubts of Mei, the world tree elf.

"Help me hold it first,..."

At this time, Xia Wei thought for a while, took off the cross necklace from her neck, and handed it to the girl.

When the cross necklace was removed, Xia Wei changed back into the form of a cat again.Then he got out from the pile of clothes, and after running for a while, he turned into a fox body.

Afterwards, Xia Wei took Lanzi on his back and flew into the air.

Not long after, the two finally came to the small village that the girl mentioned.

As the coachman said, this village has really been deserted.

At this moment, Lanzi was standing in front of a wooden building that looked like a wine barrel but was at least several meters high, looking around in surprise.

In the line of sight, I can see that the residential buildings have been emptied, the grass is overgrown everywhere, the sand is flying everywhere, the night wind is howling, and the sound is like a ghost crying.

"How come, what happened here..." Looking at all this, the girl murmured in disbelief.

At this time, Xia Wei just got dressed and came out from behind the barrel building.

He heard the girl's murmur, smiled slightly, and said as he walked, "Maybe what the coachman said is true, maybe it's caused by ghosts."

Coincidentally, when a gust of evil wind blew, the girl seemed a little frightened, she couldn't help approaching Xia Wei, and stretched out her hand to hug the latter's arm.

In this regard, Xia Wei couldn't help but feel a little weird, and couldn't help but said with a funny smile. "You're not afraid of ghosts, are you, Basket?"

The girl nodded. The night wind was a little cold, and she couldn't help but shrink back.

"Well, no matter how strong a woman is, she is also afraid of ghosts. This is a common problem." Finally, Xia Wei came to such a conclusion.

"But if you come here, you can rest easy. Let's find a place to sleep first." Xia Wei said.

Not long after, the two walked into a private house similar to a bar.

In the dark, Xia Wei shattered a wooden table and gathered them into a pile. Then he lit a small fireball with his fingertips and threw it into the firewood. The light immediately illuminated the whole room.

The two looked at the scene in the room.

This is indeed a bar, and it can be seen that there are still many wine bottles on the wine cabinet behind the bar at this moment.But the room was full of cobwebs, Xia Wei felt that even if the house had been abandoned for a long time, there shouldn't be so many cobwebs.

"How is it here, Basket?"

At this time, Xia Wei glanced at the girl who was holding a torch to drive away the spiders, and asked.

"Well, up to you."

"Okay, here it is."
