Chapter 100: Curious

After a good night’s dream, Lu Jiu groaned and stretched when she woke up.

Although she was in the wild, she slept so soundly last night and woke up feeling refreshed.

Lu Jiu yawned and walked out of the tent. The cold wind blew her face, but she didn’t know if the effect of the mutton was too good. She felt that it was not as cold as before.

When she was rubbing her eyes, Shen Jufeng also came out of the tent, “Good morning.”

“Morning.”

Zhuang Yun hasn’t woken up yet, but the two of them don’t want to disturb the dream of their teammate. Anyway, it was still early. They better walk around and stretch, and look for Colin sheep today.

Zhuang Yun woke up half an hour later, and the three quickly put away the tents and set off to look for Colin sheep.

After dealing with several waves of wild monsters, their guess was confirmed. There were indeed a lot of Colin sheep here. Most of them were sheep, but there were several other kinds of wild monsters occasionally.

Wild monsters that they don’t see very often. But if they do encounter it, they avoid them as soon as they saw them.

After killing wild monsters along the way, the three of them replenished their vitality once. That Colin sheep has rough skin and thick fur, but its flexibility was very low.

Except for Zhuang Yun who used a shield to block their horns, Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng used their wings to fly away from the attack range.

In this way, they arrived at Pingjing Mountain, where it was still peaceful.

Lu Jiu glanced at the desolate scenery, and said: “It seems that the black scorpion is still refreshing here.”

Shen Jufeng: “Let’s look for it.”

Lu Jiu suddenly thought of her mining team. They can still mine here. So it seems that people in Jinghe District haven’t discovered the mine here yet.

Zhuang Yun was very active in finding the Black Scorpion. It was his first time fighting a slightly higher-level wild monster.

But this time it was a pity, no black scorpions appeared. The wild monsters would appear when they entered the prescribed range the previous two times. This time it was very quiet.

After searching everywhere, they didn’t find anything.

Zhuang Yun sighed, “It seems that it has been killed.”

Lu Jiu was not disappointed: “It’s okay, it’s good to find Colin sheep this time.”

He thought about it, and it was indeed the case: “Then where should we go next, should we continue to look for Colin the sheep?”

It was impossible to just wait here all the time, who knows when the black scorpion here will be wiped out, and the refresh time was also uncertain.

Lu Jiu looked at Shen Jufeng, she still wanted to hear the opinion of the military division Shen.

Without her needing to speak, Shen Jufeng understood what she meant: “Walk casually, and clear the wild monsters on the way. I want to know what happened in Dragon Flood City, and what’s going on in Jinghe District.”

Although he was the deputy city lord of Xuantian City appointed by Lu Jiu, he still has some concerns about his hometown, Jinghe District.

Speaking of Dragon Flood City, Lu Jiu’s soul of gossip ignited: “That’s right, I don’t know what’s going on with that Dragon Flood City. The entire city-state is deserted, like an empty city.”

Zhuang Yun nodded his head: “It’s unlikely that many people will leave in winter.”

This meeting was not like the mild early autumn before. Even if he doesn’t know much about other city-states, he can see from the dialogue channel that there were not enough winter resources in various places.

Especially now, they don’t know anything about this winter. How far the temperature will drop below zero? Will this season only last for three months?

Shen Jufeng said: “Nowadays, few city-states are willing to accept many people. It can’t be guaranteed that the conflicts in their cities have been resolved.”

In the face of the unknown, people’s fear dominates, and it was normal for the crowd to have disputes at this time.

Just like Yao Bingan, she can’t solve it, so she directly disbanded her city-state.

If the contradiction has not been resolved, but still the city lord accepts a group of unknown people, it will make the situation worse.

Lu Jiu said: “I think so too. We fought with those people in Dragon Flood City before. I noticed that people open the window of the rental house over there. Most likely to watch the play.”

The corners of Zhuang Yun’s mouth raised slightly, were they watching a show? “Those people are probably staying in their house and didn’t go out. Ordinary residents have collected a lot of food and firewood. It is estimated that there will be no shortage of food for a while.”

Shen Jufeng closed his eyes slightly and nodded: “That’s right, and at this time the city lord can’t drive away all the people. If there are not enough people in the city, the city will be disbanded at the specified time. By then, the winter still hasn’t come, but the city-state will be gone. Then the losses will outweigh the gains.”

The rule of a rental house was that if the owner doesn’t agree, other people cannot come in. Even if it was the city lord unless the city lord blocks the person and kicks them out.

“So many people are stuck at home, and now there is no mobile phone or TV to pass the time, how boring.” Lu Jiu was curious about this.

“Life is important, not all places are as stable as Xuantian City.” Shen Jufeng was also glad that he cooperated with Lu Jiu at the time.

Although he was the one who takes care of all the things in the city, it was obvious that he has made a lot of money. Maybe Lu Jiu finds it too troublesome to deal with, but he can handle these things with ease.

Zhuang Yun agreed with Shen Jufeng’s words very much. He also followed the two of them for a while, comparing the city-states he saw or heard of, Xuantian City was the best among them.

“It’s a good thing we’re in Xuantian City, otherwise we wouldn’t have the leisure to go to other areas to fight wild.” This was Zhuang Yun’s sincere words.

At this moment, he thought of the team he followed when he was wandering. Although most of them were not good, it was good that they lead him to Xuantian City.

Lu Jiu smiled and said nothing. She simply took it as a compliment. It seems that she was a good city lord, although it was a bit expensive.

Shen Jufeng glanced at Lu Jiu, who was secretly happy, and knew that she felt embarrassed now, but she indeed did a good job: “Our city lord is very generous, the price is so low, but she still provides supplies at a lower price.”

Hearing the deputy city lord’s praise, the corners of Lu Jiu’s mouth turned up even more: “Indeed! Who says she’s not.”

She was smiling happily. Zhuang Yun didn’t understand why she was so happy, but he didn’t think much about it, he just said: “Then let’s set off now, and go early to collect a few batches of Colin sheep.”

A group of people set off in one direction at will, killed the brown iron-level wild monsters on the road, and avoid ordinary wild monsters as much as possible, so as not to waste that time.

In this way, they arrived at a city-state named Yuhong. The situation here was much better than that of Dragon Flood City. At least there were normal stalls on the street, although there were not many.

Before they entered the city, they saw an interesting scene. There were several fields not far from the city-state, two of which were crowded with people, while the other fields were empty, with less than ten people gathering in a single field.

n the field full of people, there was occasional yelling, even if they were some distance away, they could hear the content of the yelling.

“Where are you sticking your ass! It’s going to hit me in the face! How shameless!”

“How can I collect without bending over? Tell me.”

“It’s obvious that I’m picking this one, so why do you reach out and pick it!”

“Why, did you plant this grain? Why can’t I pick it!”

“You don’t make any sense!”

There were endless insults like this, just trivial things, but these people were like have eaten dynamite, and they ignited when bumped.

Lu Jiu complained to her two teammates: “I seem to… probably know what’s going on.”

The two teammates: “… …”

They seem to have guessed it too.
