When Yang Zheng opened his eyes again, he was already inside the small world.
He stood in front of the portal, holding a riot shield, and looked around. Everything was silent.
So far, no unusual signs have been found.
He was fully armed and well-prepared for this trip into the small world.
As soon as the army of the Lilliputians appears, he will annihilate the enemy with overwhelming force.
He didn't rush down the mountain, but instead carefully surveyed the area around the hillside, paying particular attention to the denser woods nearby.
They picked up a lot of dirt and gravel on the mountaintop and threw them wildly into the woods around the hillside.
With a series of clanging and banging sounds, the waist-high trees shook and trembled from being hit.
After throwing it dozens of times, apart from startling the birds and beasts hiding in the woods, no little person was seen.
It seems there are no problems near the hillside.
If a tiny person were hiding inside, they would surely scream and flee under his dense, covering "bombardment".
After confirming that there were no problems around the hillside, Yang Zheng casually closed the teleportation portal and walked down the hillside.
He walked very slowly.
Basically, you have to look around before taking any step forward.
Whenever he saw a hidden or suspicious place, he would grab a handful of dirt and gravel and smash it into it.
Better safe than sorry.
Soon, Yang Zheng cautiously arrived at the bank of the miniature river.
I looked up at the sky; it was a clear, blue expanse.
There were no black dots that resembled airships at all.
I just walked here from the mountain, it's been several hundred meters.
If there really were an army from Lilliput, they would have attacked him long ago.
Strangely, this has been the case since he first appeared.
There wasn't a single unusual sound within the small world.
Yang Zheng frowned slightly. "Am I being paranoid? Were those sailboats I saw last time not reinforcements?"
"Could there be another possibility? That because I haven't entered the small world for so many days, those villains might mistakenly think I'm too scared to come in, and then... they've left! Who's going to be guarding this place every day for no reason?"
Upon closer reflection, I think both are possible.
Whatever, now that we're here, we might as well check everything out.
After making sure there were no enemies hiding in the area, he returned to his rented room and brought in the retractable ladder.
We'll be climbing to the top of the cliff later to search for treasure among those piles of skeletons.
Yang Zheng stood by the river and looked around.
A hundred meters away on the opposite bank of the mini river is a narrow valley that stretches for a kilometer, and inside the valley is a forest that is two or three meters tall.
In the beginning, he once caught four miniature wild boars with his bare hands at the end of that valley.
However, he hasn't been to that valley much since then.
Thinking of this, Yang Zheng thought to himself, "I'll go in and investigate again today."
As was his usual practice, he would go directly along the river to the giant lake, and then enter the chest-high forest not far from the lake shore.
Continue walking straight ahead, through several kilometers of forest, until you reach the hundred-meter-high mountain ridge.
The cliff face with the giant tree bearing exotic fruit is also in that place.
Today, he had a sudden idea and did not follow his usual route. Instead, he crossed the river and headed towards the narrow valley on the other side.
After reaching the other side of the river, he had only walked less than ten meters forward.
"Bang……"
Suddenly, he heard a slight thud behind him, and then he felt something like an insect bump into the armor on his thigh.
"What is that?"
Yang Zheng looked down and was stunned.
He noticed a tiny hole, the size of a pinprick, on the leather armor covering his thigh. Immediately afterward, he felt a slight burning pain on the skin beneath the hole, as if he had been gently poked by a red-hot needle.
Immediately, he became alert and bent down to raise his shield.
Bang! Bang!
Two more soft thuds were heard.
Two soft clanging sounds emanated from the sturdy riot shield, as if two tiny iron nails were striking it.
"Shooting?"
Yang Zheng's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly looked ahead. He saw five small figures dressed in black on a patch of grass about thirty meters away, holding miniature rifles that were a dozen centimeters long, and cocking them at him.
This world really does have firearms!
Moreover, it was an outdated bolt-action rifle.
It seems my earlier guess was correct; those white sailboats were reinforcements summoned by the airship.
Several small men dressed in black were still firing their guns, and they looked very nervous.
The visual impact and sense of oppression brought by the giants are simply too strong.
Ding ding ding...
A series of soft impact sounds could be heard coming from the riot shield.
It was obvious that the miniature rifle in the black-clad figure's hand was completely incapable of damaging the shield.
"We've been looking for you for ages, you're finally out!"
Yang Zheng sneered, quickly took out his slingshot, aimed at one of the small figures in black, and then released the rubber band.
In an instant, a steel ball shot out and hit the target like lightning.
With a piercing scream, the little man in black, struck by the steel ball, was sent flying. When he landed, his chest was deeply caved in, and he died instantly.
One shot hits, keep aiming.
The remaining four black-clad figures saw the giant suddenly pull out a giant slingshot and, from a distance of three hundred meters, instantly kill one of their companions.
They were all terrified and turned to flee in panic.
At such close range, with Yang Zheng's heightened sensory abilities enhanced by the exotic fruit, he could basically hit the target every time.
Swish, swish, swish! ! !
Three steel balls were fired in succession, and all three little men in black were shot dead within fifty meters.
One of the small figures in black had his head explode from being hit by a steel ball, with blood and brain matter splattering everywhere.
Now, only one white-haired, black-clad little figure remains on the lush grassland.
According to Yang Zheng's observation, among the few black-clad figures who had just fled, he was the fastest and most agile.
However, given the size of humans in the small world—with only two short legs about seven or eight centimeters long—how fast could they run? In Yang Zheng's eyes, it was only a mere ten meters; he estimated that these tiny people would take more than ten seconds to run that distance.
At this moment, the last white-haired little man in black had already escaped fifty meters away.
"Trying to escape? Not so easy!"
Yang Zheng locked onto the target again, and with a soft snap, a steel ball shot out like lightning, heading straight for the target fifty meters away.
The black-clad figure, fleeing at breakneck speed, suddenly twisted and darted to the left, moving in a serpentine pattern.
Unfortunately, Yang Zheng had anticipated his attempt to dodge.
The steel ball shot towards the little man's back.
Sudden,
At that moment, something surprising happened to Yang Zheng.
The little man in black suddenly lowered his body and burrowed into the ground, causing the marbles to miss instantly.
Looking at the empty meadow, where was the little man?
Yang Zheng was secretly astonished.
"Is this earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic/escaping technique)? A supernatural technique from a small world? Interesting..."
