Chapter 100 Curious
After a good night's dream, Lu Jiu woke up with a groan and stretched himself lazily.
Although we were in the wild, I slept so soundly last night that I felt full of energy when I woke up.
Lu Jiu walked out of the tent yawning, the cold wind blew on her face, but she didn't know if it was because the mutton was too effective, she didn't feel as cold as before.
While she was rubbing her eyes, Shen Jufeng also came out of the tent, "Good morning."
"morning."
Zhuang Yun hadn't woken up yet, but the two of them didn't want to disturb their teammate's sleep. It was still early anyway, so they walked around and stretched a little, as they still had to look for Colin the sheep today.
Zhuang Yun woke up half an hour later. The three of them quickly packed up the tent and set off to look for Colin's sheep.
After dealing with several waves of wild monsters, their guess was confirmed. There were indeed a lot of Colin sheep here. Most of the ones they encountered were sheep, with occasionally a few other types of wild monsters.
You rarely see ordinary wild monsters, and even if you do see them, you should quickly avoid them before you face them head-on.
While killing wild monsters along the way, the three of them only replenished their energy and blood once. This was because Colin was just a sheep with thick skin and flesh, and his flexibility was very low.
Apart from Zhuang Yun who used a shield to block their horns, people like Lu Jiu and Chen Jufeng used their wings to fly away from the attack range.
In this way they arrived at Pingjing Mountain, which was still peaceful.
Lu Jiu glanced at the desolate scenery and said, "It seems that the black scorpion is still spawning here."
Shen Jufeng: "See if there are any more."
Lu Jiu thought that the mining team hadn't encountered any accidents so far, and it seemed that the people in Jinghe District hadn't discovered the mine here yet.
Zhuang Yun was very active in finding the black scorpion. It was his first time fighting a wild monster of a slightly higher level.
But unfortunately, no black scorpion appeared this time. The previous two times when they entered the designated range, those wild monsters would appear, but this time it was very quiet.
I searched around but found nothing.
Zhuang Yun sighed, "It seems that it has been swiped."
Lu Jiu was not disappointed. "It's okay. It's also good to find Colin the sheep this time."
He thought about it and realized that it was true. "So where should we go next? Should we continue looking for Colin the sheep?"
It's impossible to just wait here. Who knows when the black scorpions here will be eliminated, and the refresh time is uncertain.
Lu Jiu looked at Shen Jufeng. She still wanted to hear the advice of Shen Jufeng.
Without her even saying anything, Shen Jufeng understood what she meant. "Just taking a walk. I happened to be on the way to brush the jungle. I just wanted to know what happened in Longjiao City and what the situation in Jinghe District was like."
Although he was appointed by Lu Jiu as the deputy city lord of Xuantian City, he still paid some attention to his hometown, Jinghe District.
Speaking of Longjiao City, Lu Jiu's gossip spirit burned fiercely, "Yes, I don't know what's going on with Longjiao City. There are no people in the whole city, like a deserted city."
Zhuang Yun nodded, "It's unlikely that a large number of people will leave when winter is approaching."
This was not like the mild early autumn before. Even though he was not particularly familiar with other city-states, he could tell from the conversation channel that the resources for wintering were not sufficient in various places.
In particular, they knew nothing about this winter. They were not sure how low the temperature would drop below zero, and they were not sure whether this season was really only three months.
Shen Jufeng: "There probably aren't many city-states willing to accept a large number of people right now. It's possible that the conflicts within their own city haven't been resolved yet."
In the face of the unknown, people's fear dominates, and it is normal for people to quarrel at this time.
Just like if Yao Bing'an couldn't solve the problem, he would just disband the city-state.
If we accept a new group of unknown people before resolving the conflict, it will only make the situation worse.
Lu Jiu: "I think so too. When we fought those people in Longjiao City, I noticed that some people in the hostel over there opened the window to look at us. They were probably just watching the show."
Zhuang Yun's lips curled up slightly. It was just a show, wasn't it? "Those people are probably staying in the guesthouse and haven't left. The ordinary residents have already collected a lot of food and firewood, so I don't think they'll be short of food for a while."
Shen Jufeng closed his eyes slightly and nodded, "That's right, and the city lord can't drive everyone away at this time. If there are not enough people in the city, they will disband at the appointed time. If winter is not over by then, the city-state will be gone, and that would be a loss."
The rule of staying in the hotel is that no one else can come in without the owner's consent, even the city lord, unless the city lord blocks the person and kicks him out.
"So many people are staying at home, and now they don't have mobile phones or TVs to kill time. How boring it must be." Lu Jiu was curious about this.
"Life is important. Not all places are as safe as Xuantian City." Shen Jufeng was also glad that he had cooperated with Lu Jiu.
Although he was in charge of all matters in the city, it was obvious that he had made a lot of money. Lu Jiu might have felt that the trouble was too much to handle, but he was able to handle these matters with ease.
Zhuang Yun agreed with Shen Jufeng's words. He also followed the two of them on a tour. Comparing the city-states he had seen or learned about, Xuantian City was the best.
"Fortunately, we are in Xuantian City, otherwise we would not have the leisure to run to other areas to farm jungle." This was Zhuang Yun's sincere words.
At this moment, he thought of the team he followed when he was wandering. Although most of the people in it were not very good, it was right for them to lead him to Xuantian City.
Lu Jiu smiled without saying anything. She took this as a compliment. It seemed that she was doing a good job as the city lord, although it was a bit expensive.
Shen Jufeng glanced at the secretly delighted Lu Jiu without leaving a trace. He knew that she was very proud at the moment, but she did a good job. "Our city lord is really generous. He has kept the prices so low and he doesn't even bargain for the supplies."
After hearing the deputy city lord's praise, Lu Jiu's mouth curled up even more, "Oh! Who said it wasn't true?"
She was laughing happily. Zhuang Yun didn't understand why she was so cheerful, but he didn't think much about it. He just said, "Then let's set off now. The sooner we leave, the sooner we can get a few more Colin sheep."
The group set off in a direction as they pleased. They killed the brown iron level wild monsters they encountered on the way, and tried their best to avoid the ordinary wild monsters so as not to waste their time.
In this way, they arrived at a city-state called Yuhong. The situation here was much better than that in Longjiao City. At least there were normal stalls on the streets, although not many.
Before entering the city, they saw an interesting scene. There were several fields not far from the city-state. Two of the fields were crowded with people, while the other fields were empty, with less than ten people collecting in a single field.
From time to time, angry curses could be heard from the crowded fields. Even though they were some distance away, they could still clearly hear the curses.
"Where are you sticking your butt out? It's almost in my face! Do you have any shame?"
"How can I collect it without bending down? I don't want to."
"I'm the one picking this crop, what's the point of you reaching out to pick it?"
"Why, you grew all this food? Why can't I pick it?"
"Speak some sense!"
…
Such insults are heard all the time. They are just trivial matters, but these people are like people who have eaten dynamite and they ignite at the slightest touch.
Lu Jiu quietly complained to his two teammates, "I think... I think I know what's going on."
Two teammates: "..." They seemed to have guessed it too.
