Cheng Xuqing's voice was filled with excitement. "Look, it's a grassland! This is the first time I've seen such a large grassland!"
Gu Shi looked in the direction of Cheng Xuqing's finger, and what came into view was an endless grassland. Although it was winter, the grassland was not affected by the season at all and still looked lush and green.
"It's amazing. Is the grass here a special variety?" Qi Yu couldn't help but squat down and pulled out a few blades of grass from the ground to observe them carefully.
Gu Shi looked around and said, "I didn't see Zhao Zhize and the others. They left so quickly."
The place where the three of them were now was a small settlement used to cover the base. Because they were tripped just now, when they came out, Zhao Zhize and his group had disappeared.
Hearing Gu Shi's words, Cheng Xuqing also looked around and said, "Have they left yet? It seems we can only find out how they got there ourselves."
Cheng Xuqing did what he said. He quickly walked to a middle-aged man standing not far away, greeted him, and started chatting with him enthusiastically.
After a few minutes, Gu Shi saw him waving to him, and it seemed that everything was done.
Gu Shi patted Qi Yu, who was immersed in his research, and said, "Okay, hurry up and get up. We have to leave."
Qi Yu put away the plant sample he was holding, and then walked over with Gu Shi.
"I've already inquired about it, so just follow me!"
Under the leadership of Cheng Xuqing, it didn't take them long to arrive at the gate of the Black Dog Tribe.
Although the two guards with animal ears and tails who were in charge of guarding the gate had serious expressions, they did not make things difficult for Gu Shi and his men. After asking them a few simple questions, they let them into the tribe.
Walking on the streets of the Black Dog Tribe, Cheng Xuqing sighed with emotion, "I didn't expect them to let us in so easily. I thought we would be questioned for a long time like going through customs."
Gu Shi speculated, "Perhaps they've become accustomed to outsiders coming in and out from time to time. After all, the Black Dog Tribe has already established a very friendly cooperative relationship with the school."
"You're right."
Gu Shi was not at school so he didn't know. When Base No. 7 was first opened, many people came here to watch the orcs.
Because there were so many people, although no major troubles arose, small problems continued to arise.
Under this situation, the school even had to temporarily close the teleportation array leading to Station No. 7, and only allowed others to continue traveling back and forth after the rules were further improved.
Because of this incident, this group of black-haired and black-eyed outsiders left a somewhat abnormal impression in the eyes of the residents of the Black Dog Tribe.
Now that they have successfully entered the territory of the Black Dog Tribe, Gu Shi and his team's first priority is naturally to find a place to stay tonight.
Although the various buildings in the Black Dog Tribe are not as exquisite as those in the Human Empire, they have a natural and simple beauty in their ruggedness.
The completely different style here quickly caught the attention of the three people, and they soon started discussing excitedly.
Perhaps because they did not receive outsiders on a large scale, Gu Shi and his companions walked and strolled along the way, and it took them several streets before they saw the first hotel.
After seeing the hotel's new and complete facilities, the three of them readily booked four single rooms here.
When paying, Cheng Xuqing chatted with the boss and found out that this hotel had just been opened for a short time and was built specifically for people like Gu Shi. It was considered a semi-state-owned enterprise.
The boss explained, "In the past, there weren't as many outsiders in our tribe as there are now, so it's unlikely that an orc would think of opening an inn.
Those who were able to enter our Black Dog Tribe at that time naturally didn't have to worry about accommodation. This inn was specially built by the High Priest after we signed a contract with you."
Although the Black Dog Tribe had had quite a bit of communication with humans in the past, this was the first time they had established such deep-level diplomatic ties with a certain force.
The three of them got their room keys from the boss and then went back to their rooms to pack their things.
After Gu Shi replaced some of his commonly used toiletries, he sat on the bed with nothing to do. He looked outside through the window and quickly decided to go out for a walk.
The three of them planned to have free time for the rest of the time until the evening. Zhao Zhize had agreed to wait for them at the gate, so they just had to meet up on time.
Gu Shi strolled around the Black Dog Tribe with great interest. This was a completely unfamiliar place to him, and there were many new things waiting for him to explore.
They stopped and walked along the way, and by the time Gu Shi finished walking down a street, there were a lot of gadgets in his space ring.
Gu Shi stood up from a small stall at the end of the street and was about to turn from a side path to another street, but he accidentally bumped into an orc he had met once before.
This alley connecting the two streets is very narrow, barely enough for two thin people to walk side by side.
Gu Shi didn't know about this road at first. It was when he was buying things just now that the stall owner knew that he was going to the next street, so he pointed him to this shortcut.
Since there was a shortcut, Gu Shi would not insist on taking the long way around. Following the stall owner's instructions, he slowly walked into the alley.
When they were about halfway through the journey, Gu Shi heard footsteps not far ahead.
He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when the two of them got closer, he realized that the other person alone had already filled up the narrow passage.
Orcs are naturally stronger physically than humans, so their average size is a whole circle larger than humans.
This path was quite spacious for Gu Shi, but it was very narrow in the eyes of the orcs opposite.
Gu Shi stopped and was about to say something to the orc not far away, but was interrupted by the other party.
"It's you?!"
The orc opposite him sounded surprised and puzzled. It was obvious that meeting Gu Shi here was something completely unexpected for him.
Huh? He knows me?
Gu Shi was also quite surprised. His circle of friends was quite narrow. Logically speaking, no orc here should know him. What was going on with this orc in front of him?
Gu Shi looked at the other person carefully again. He did feel familiar. Where had he seen him before?
The orc opposite looked at Gu Shi who remained silent and became alert involuntarily, and the expression on his face began to become serious.
Gu Shi was still recalling. When his eyes swept over the other party's erect ears again, he finally dug out the identity of this orc from his distant memory.
Gu Shi exclaimed in surprise: "You are the guy who scammed me in Galano City!"
