"That far?"
Raya was a little unconvinced. If it was really that far, how did Lu Chengchuan get here?
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The two were chatting about the outside world when suddenly the big bell in the center of the village rang. It was the first time Lu Chengchuan heard the bell after living here for several months.
He was about to say something when he noticed that Raya's expression changed. Lu Chengchuan didn't understand the meaning of the bell and asked quickly, "What's wrong? Is there any danger?"
"Those people are here again."
Raya was a little scared, and her voice was a little fearful.
He had never seen Raya so scared before. Just as he was about to ask, the old man rushed in from outside and found Lu Chengchuan as soon as he arrived.
"Young man, come and help me move some things out, hurry up. Raya, go back to your room and don't come out!"
The old man grabbed Lu Chengchuan and told Laya to go back to her room and hide.
Lu Chengchuan and the old man came to the warehouse in the small house. There were a lot of food in the warehouse, including three sacks that were very full.
"We need to move these three bags to the center of the village quickly."
Each sack was filled with at least a hundred pounds of weight, and the old man had to use all his strength to barely lift one bag. Fortunately, although Lu Chengchuan had not recovered, he still had several hundred pounds of strength.
He picked up the remaining two bags and went to the center of the village with the old man.
When he arrived at the place, Lu Chengchuan found that all the villagers had come. They were also carrying a few bags. On the side, several people who were obviously outsiders were checking the bags.
The village chief was talking to a young man, and judging from his expression, he was very afraid of this person.
Lu Chengchuan looked at the man. The other party was not very powerful. His mental strength level was about level two, similar to the village chief. The village chief was afraid of the power behind the young man.
Soon it was their turn to have their bags checked. A man came over and the old man quickly opened the bag.
There was also food in the bag, something similar to rice. The man came up and checked it carefully. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the thing, the man nodded and gestured for the thing to be put into the car.
Now Lu Chengchuan understood that the other party was here to collect grain.
After harvesting the grain, those people ate at the village chief's house, and the rest of the villagers had to go back and take care of themselves.
"Who are they and why are they here to collect food?" After returning to the hut, Lu Chengchuan asked the old man.
He didn't know much about this world, but judging from the appearance of the village, it seemed that there was no electricity in this world, at least there was no power generation equipment in this small village.
"They are tax collectors from Sand Rock Town. Today is the day to collect grain."
The old man explained briefly. In his opinion, Lu Chengchuan didn't know anything about them.
“Do we need to harvest that much grain every year?”
More than 300 kilograms of food is a heavy burden for a family in a poor area of Shenghua Country, not to mention how to save 300 kilograms of food in a year in a ghost place like the desert.
"Well, it's good to be alive. There are many people in this world who can't survive." The old man shook his head as he spoke: "If we hadn't handed over the food, the village would have been destroyed by them long ago."
It seems that no matter where you are, life is not easy for people at the bottom of society.
"Are there any large wild animals in the desert?"
Lu Chengchuan felt a little guilty about eating and drinking for free at other people's homes for several months. Today, he handed over several hundred kilograms of food. Lu Chengchuan thought of hunting some wild animals to feed them.
"Don't think about it. It's very dangerous outside. It will be difficult to come back if you go out alone." The old man shook his head and just said that it was very dangerous outside.
Lu Chengchuan did not continue asking. Although he could not display most of his strength, if a real fight came, his body's defense was still there. Combined with his mental strength, no warrior with innate qi could beat him.
Back in his small room, Lu Chengchuan continued to practice.
The three monsters in the crystal showed no signs of waking up, and his training had not made any progress.
In the evening, the people who came to collect grain drove away and Raya came out of the room.
In the evening, Lu Chengchuan got up and left the house.
The oxen in the cowshed glanced at him, then lowered their heads to continue grazing. Under the cover of night, he quietly left the village.
Without internal energy, he couldn't use his martial arts skills. He used to be able to appear more than ten kilometers away in one second, but now he can only walk with his legs, and he can't walk fast.
He randomly picked a direction and kept walking forward, spreading his mental power to more than ten kilometers away to search for wild animals.
The area near the village was relatively safe, so Lu Chengchuan could only walk further away.
After walking for several hours, Lu Chengchuan walked to a very far place. Searching with the power of his mind, he found a huge monster hiding under the sand.
Just a few kilometers away, after finding the target, Lu Chengchuan immediately went to look for the huge beast.
Soon, he came to the sand where the beast was hiding. The monster was very similar to the lizards on Earth, but it had two heads, six legs, and a row of spikes on its back.
Lu Chengchuan made no secret of his arrival. The two-headed beast sensed the sand shaking slightly, and one of its heads leaned towards the location where the vibration came from.
Soon, human figures appeared, and the beasts that saw the humans prepared to eat them.
But the next second, its huge body was pulled out of the sand by some force, countless gravel slid off its body, and the two-headed beast struggled to get off the ground.
Then it fell to the ground again, but this time it didn't cause much damage to it. The two-headed beast was about to get up when a powerful force rushed into its brain and it stopped struggling instantly.
After killing the beast, Lu Chengchuan regained his mental strength.
Just now he used his mental power to pull out the beast, which was a huge burden for him.
The main function of mental power is not in this aspect. Although it can interfere with some reality, the consumption and burden are too great, and Lu Chengchuan cannot persist for too long.
After killing the beast, Lu Chengchuan prepared to pull it back.
But this beast is more than 20 meters long and weighs 20 to 30 tons. It was easy for him to deal with it before, but now it means a death sentence for him.
Lu Chengchuan gritted his teeth and pulled the beast's tail hard, but the beast's body did not move at all. In the end, he had to use his mental power to help pull the corpse.
At dawn, the sun rose and Raya got up to prepare breakfast.
As usual, she came to see Lu Chengchuan with breakfast. After knocking on the door several times, Raya realized something was wrong. She broke open the shabby wooden door and went in only to find that the man was gone.
"Grandpa, Lu Chengchuan is missing!"
Raya hurried to find her grandfather. When the old man heard that he was not in the room, he suddenly remembered what Lu Chengchuan said yesterday.
"Is he really going out..."
The old man muttered, and Raya didn't understand what was going on, so he quickly asked
"Grandpa! What the hell is going on?!"
"Let's go find someone quickly. He must have gone out hunting." The old man got up and thought about finding someone quickly.
Raya didn't understand what it meant to go hunting, and at this moment, there was a sudden noise outside. The two went out and happened to see Lu Chengchuan pulling a huge animal back.
