Yang Zheng never expected that he would accidentally discover a little person while picking the strange fruit.
The little figure, dressed in a silver-gray robe, lay on a tree trunk more than three meters above the ground, blending perfectly with the thick, silver-gray trunk of the towering tree.
If I hadn't just glanced up and seen him by chance, I'm afraid he would have left after picking the exotic fruit.
The little figure clung tightly to the tree, motionless; it must be a dead person.
Otherwise, they would have fled in terror upon seeing a giant standing in front of them.
Yang Zheng picked up the shovel from the ground, walked quickly to the thick tree trunk, looked up and found that the little figure clinging to the tree was a mummified corpse.
It was still more than a meter above his head.
You can poke it off with just a shovel.
“Poke it down and check if there’s anything valuable on it. Among all the little human corpses on the cliff, its appearance and clothing are the best preserved, so it should be the most valuable to search for.”
With that in mind, Yang Zheng carefully used a shovel to poke the miniature mummified corpse off.
The moment the mummified corpse slid off the tree trunk, Yang Zheng immediately reached out and caught it.
It feels so light in your hand, as if it has no weight at all.
He held the mummified figurine and examined it carefully, feeling that the mummified corpse must have been an old man with a full head of white hair when he was alive.
And he must have been dead not long ago.
Otherwise, his robes and his body would not have been preserved so well.
I don't know why, but while everyone else died at the bottom of the cliff, he was the only one who clung tightly to the giant tree and refused to let go until he died.
"Even the way this guy died was unusual. I hope he won't disappoint me!"
Soon, Yang Zheng took out a magnifying glass, lifted the mummified corpse's robe, and carefully searched it inside and out.
"Hey, there really is something good!"
Suddenly, Yang Zheng discovered a five-centimeter-long short sword at the waist of the mummified little corpse.
The short sword was firmly inserted into its scabbard, and what surprised him most was that the hilt of the short sword and the scabbard were faintly glowing with golden light.
Based on observation, this short sword is inlaid with a lot of gold, and even the hilt seems to be made of pure gold.
Gold!
Finally, we see gold!
If you take this out and enlarge it, and then remove the gold inlaid on the short sword, you could probably sell it for a lot of money.
Thinking of this, Yang Zheng couldn't help but smile and put the five-centimeter-long mini short sword into his satchel.
They took the mummified corpse and searched it carefully again, but found nothing.
Just a short sword.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's hurry up and pick a few exotic fruits to take home."
Yang Zheng walked to the tree branch closest to the ground, picked more than thirty exotic fruits, put them in his satchel, and then prepared to go back.
We can't pick too much of this stuff, because if it sits for too long, it might spoil and we'd waste it.
Although it seems that the seeds of the exotic fruit can be kept for many days, he's not sure exactly how long they can be preserved.
Before leaving, Yang Zheng looked back at the white tiger lying under the giant tree and thought to himself, "It's rare for it to come up here, so I must give it some benefits."
Otherwise, if someone acts as your security guard every day, protecting you here, you have to give them something to look forward to.
Thinking of this, Yang Zheng quickly walked towards the white tiger.
The white tiger was originally lying on the ground when it saw the giant walking heavily towards it. Instantly, its fur stood on end, and it appeared extremely nervous.
Yang Zheng found it somewhat amusing, casually took out six blood-red exotic fruits, placed them in front of it, and then turned and left without looking back.
Watching the giant nimbly climb down the cliff, the white tiger stared at that spot for a long time.
Once the terrifying giant had fully appeared below the cliff, it slowly put the strange fruits in its mouth and then found a place to hide them.
They arrived at the bottom of the cliff with ease, as effortlessly as last time.
Yang Zheng couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of the exotic fruit once again. If his body hadn't been strengthened, he probably wouldn't have been able to climb up and down the cliff as easily as he did today.
I'm too lazy to carry the 14-meter-long retractable ladder back home.
When I come in to practice shooting next time, I'll take it back with me. The ladder will be smaller by then, making it easier to carry.
Anyway, I probably won't be climbing to the top of the cliff in the next few days.
On the cliff, there were still more than half of the little human skeletons that had not been cleared away, but Yang Zheng had lost much interest in them.
Because it's just too boring and too troublesome.
Moreover, the effort and the reward are completely disproportionate.
Damn it, I spent the whole afternoon searching and only found a thin black piece. I've really lost my enthusiasm for Taobao.
When I get the urge again, I'll come back and finish scavenging the rest of the remains.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the low bushes beside them.
Yang Zheng casually called out, "Black Dragon!"
In an instant, a dark figure darted out of the forest like lightning and appeared before him.
The black dog waited downstairs for the entire afternoon. When it saw Yang Zheng come down, it was overjoyed and kept jumping around him, showing exceptional enthusiasm.
Yang Zheng patted its head and laughed, "Come on, let's go home and eat chicken legs!"
This afternoon, it was quick to get from the hillside to the cliff, only taking about ten minutes.
However, they got back even faster.
Because Yang Zheng did not bring the nearly 100-pound telescopic ladder, he also forgot his broom and shovel on the cliff.
Aside from two shoulder bags, I felt much lighter.
I checked the time; it was only a little before 6:30 in the evening.
On a whim, Yang Zheng couldn't resist running at full speed within the small world.
No matter how fast he runs, the black dog can keep up.
And so, the giant, accompanied by his giant dog, ran wildly through the miniature world, creating a commotion that was no less than a minor earthquake for the animals within.
The man and his dog ran all the way to the top of the hill where the portal was located in less than ten minutes.
Yang Zheng stood atop the slope, slightly out of breath, and turned to look at the small world bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun. Everything was golden, and the scenery was exceptionally beautiful.
Suddenly, he looked up at the sky filled with fiery clouds and saw a black dot slowly moving from left to right high in the sky.
airship!
That annoying thing again!
He didn't see it yesterday, but at other times, whenever Yang Zheng entered the small world, he could see it hovering overhead.
The feeling of being constantly watched from above is incredibly frustrating.
If he didn't get rid of it, Yang Zheng would be restless and unable to eat or sleep in the days that followed.
Although he drove away the Lilliputian army yesterday, as long as this strange airship is still there, there will definitely be a steady stream of Lilliputians hunting giants.
Last time it was a heavy firepower unit that came, what about next time?
Could it be an even more lethal armed legion?
Thinking of this, Yang Zheng's gaze towards the airship gradually turned cold. "Starting tomorrow, I must practice shooting as soon as possible and learn how to operate all the captured weapons and ammunition."
"As soon as I learn how to use a gun, the first thing I'll do is shoot it down, making that annoying airship disappear completely from the skies above this little world..."
