Six traces of the dream domain empty city

Chapter 18 Trivial Matters

Huang Quan knocked again, then stretched out his hand to grab, and tore off a small piece of bark.

Huang Quan couldn't help being startled, he thought he could dig a piece of wood no matter what, it's a tree after all, no matter how hard it is, can it be harder than steel?Even if it is steel, he can tear it off with bare hands.With his strength, he only got rid of the bark?

Huang Quan observed the surrounding environment more carefully, including those plants that seemed not much different from his native world.

Immediately, he found that the big trees surrounding the entire settlement were extremely hard, the shrubs were similar, and even the long grass was full of toughness. The blades of grass were like pieces of a hacksaw, and if they were not careful, they would be cut into big holes.

Everything in the settlement is weird in nature, just like the world in the common sense of the settlement people.

At this moment, there were no people in the square, and there was no movement in the sheds everywhere. The young men and women were exhausted and stopped tossing around.Huang Quan went back to Yao's room and slept.

In the early morning, Huang Quan woke up from the nightmare.

In the dead world, there is only a big tree with a trunk, and a painful soul fixed in the tree.

There is only him and a fellow in the world, and that man walks behind him, his steps are steady and his rhythm is constant, as if he is ignoring the ground full of holes and cracks, but walking in the palace of water grinding deep rocks.

Huang Quan didn't dare to turn his head back. The fearless God of Death was a little weak at this moment. He was afraid that what he saw was not the same kind, or was he afraid that the footsteps were just his own illusion?
There is no answer, because Huang Quan woke up from the nightmare like thousands of times before.He reached out and pressed his forehead, his consciousness drifted a little.

Huang Quan never likes to indulge in the past, his eyes are always cast on new battles, new star fields, but in this settlement of the lost people, just one sunrise and one sunset, he thinks of the rebel leader ten thousand years ago, and this The only recurring nightmare that accompanied him from childhood to adulthood.

A lively face was clearly reflected in the field of vision, it was Haruka.

The girl seemed to have grown a little taller, with an unusual aura faintly exuding from her body, exuding a faint sense of oppression.There was excitement and exhaustion in her eyes, and her skin became smooth and moist. Some of the tiny scars left by years of hunting life had disappeared, and her whole body seemed to be radiant.

Huang Quan was refreshed, and the depression caused by the nightmare was swept away like fine snow in the sun.

In his eyes, the girl's body is now filled with holy light.According to the standards of the Dragon Rider Battalion, this was a perfect absorption, and the girl was at least equivalent to a senior sergeant in the Battalion now.

"That's right, it looks like I got the power of the Stone of Life." Huang Quan praised.

The girl Mo Ming was a little flustered. She subconsciously looked around and said softly, "It's all because of what you taught me."

"That's why you have talent yourself."

After receiving Huang Quan's compliment, the girl's face flushed with blush, she lowered her voice, and said, "Today's battle, I...I want to be with you."

Of course Huang Quan agreed, he couldn't see the Stone of Life yet, so he just borrowed Yao Yao to feel the power of the Stone of Life indirectly.

Yao quickly packed up the equipment, and then came to the square with Huang Quan.

All the samurai in the settlement have arrived, and they are in groups of two, each responsible for a direction.Originally there were six warriors in the settlement, but now Haruka has become a great warrior, and together with Huang Quan, she made up four groups, barely able to cover the area around the settlement.

Yao chose Huangquan. Some young warriors in the settlement were puzzled, some were angry, and some thought it was normal.As a great samurai that has not been seen in decades, Haruka can be in charge of one direction alone, and she brought Huang Quan to protect him.

The Great Elder assigned a task and distributed a special short knife to each warrior.

These short knives are obtained from larger settlements and are of superior quality to traditional hunting knives.The embarrassing thing was that the Great Elder didn't expect Huang Quan to be among the first batch to fight, and he only prepared seven short knives in total.

In fact, there are only seven such knives in the entire settlement.

Huang Quan didn't care, for him, any kind of weapon was pretty much the same.How could a semi-primitive settlement come up with imperial-level weapons?
What's more, once his exclusive weapon was built by the empire with all its efforts, but it was a pity that it was destroyed in the torrent of thousands of years.

On the occasion of the battle, there was no impassioned speech, nor a magnificent and magnificent march. The great elder hugged each warrior in turn, which was all a farewell.

When it was Huang Quan's turn, his body was obviously stiff, he was not used to hugging strange men.

However, the elder's thin arm was as hard as a steel bar, almost using all the strength of his whole body, it can be seen that the reluctance in his heart was not ignored because he was an outsider.

"I don't know who you are and where you came from, but remember, you have to come back alive!" the Great Elder whispered in Huang Quan's ear.

Huang Quan didn't know what the Elder and others said, but at this moment, his heart as hard as steel suddenly melted a little.

The ceremony was completed, and Haruka stood beside him and asked, "Shall we go?"

"Let's go."

Yao nodded, walked ahead, and headed for the camp exit.

After experiencing the strange feeling of getting out of the film again, I was surprised to see that the giant rock in the previous team did not leave, but waited at the exit.

Seeing them, Ju Yan came striding over, staring at Huang Quan, and said word by word: "Yao doesn't belong to you, you are too weak! If you dare to hit her, I will let you die in the forest!"

Huang Quan didn't speak, but just looked at Juyan coldly.He has always only killed people and never quarreled.

But Yao couldn't take it anymore, stood in front of Huang Quan, and said angrily: "Juyan, what do you want to do? People in the settlement cannot kill each other, do you want to violate the ancestor's precept?"

Ju Yan sneered: "The teachings from the ancestors are not necessarily correct, and he is not a member of the settlement. Is there any problem if I kill him?"

"If you want to kill him, you have to ask me first!" Yao said decisively.

Ju Yan glanced at her, and his eyes stopped on the young girl's bulging chest. He said, "Don't forget, even if you become a great warrior, you are still a woman, and the souls of your ancestors are watching!"

Yao's face paled for a while.

Now Huang Quan also understands the customs of the settlement. The most important knowledge inheritance of the small settlement comes from the ritual of offering sacrifices to the ancestors.

The souls of the ancestors will indeed appear, and pass on the necessary knowledge, such as crucial martial arts and cultivation methods, and for example, some special smelting or medicine prescriptions.

Because of this, the Lost People attach great importance to their ancestors, and the success of their ancestors is almost the highest rule.

The strongest warrior in the settlement has the right to choose women in the entire settlement.Yao is not yet an adult, and when she becomes an adult, she will be married.It's about obligation, not about power, but about gender.

Although Juyan was defeated by Yao, he was still the strongest warrior in the entire settlement.

Haruka bit her lip, unable to speak for a moment.

Huang Quan took a step forward, pulled her behind, and said to the samurai next to the giant rock, "Are you in charge of this direction?"

The samurai was in his 30s, which was past the peak of physical fitness for the settlers.He looked at Huang Quan warily, and said, "It's in this direction, why?"

Huang Quan said: "Very well, you can go back and tell the Great Elder that I will also cover the ogres in your direction."

Before the warrior could speak, Juyan jumped up and shouted, "Just you? Why?"

Huang Quan raised his hand and strangled Ju Yan's throat.Every movement of his is clear and rhythmic, but Juyan is like falling into the deepest nightmare, he can only watch Huang Quan's hand grabbing towards him, but he can't dodge it.

Until the moment his throat was strangled, a flash of lightning flashed across Juyan's consciousness, and he understood why: "He's too fast, too fast! It's so fast that I can't even react!"

When his conscious reaction was finally conveyed to his limbs, Huang Quan had lifted his whole body into the air.

Ju Yan wanted to push Huang Quan's hand away, but his arms were only lifted halfway, and then they hung down limply.

"Anyone who dares to shout in front of me has turned into a corpse. You are no exception." Huang Quan's voice was very calm, as if he was stating a trivial matter, and in his heart, it was indeed a trivial matter .
