All the preparations before the land reclamation were completed. Li Banfeng and Ma Wu set up their own camps. Ma Wu slept next to the plot of land for a night. Li Banfeng put the key in the tent and went back to his residence to sleep. This was how he spent the past few days.
The next afternoon, exactly twenty-two hours had passed since Li Banfeng shed blood. In two hours, the land reclamation test would begin.
According to the rules, the two of them have to enter the venue early.
Ma Wu pointed to the green boundary of the plot and said, "Brother Li, we are entering the plot and we cannot come out within three days. If you have anything else to do outside the plot, do it quickly."
In fact, there was nothing to do. The two of them had enough food and just enough drinking water, and Li Banfeng had plenty of stock in his personal residence.
The only thing to do is to find a suitable place for Ma Wu.
"Brother, go south and head straight to the orange grove, where you can camp and rest.
The oranges there are edible. Don't do anything else except eating them. Don't waste the orange orchard.
Come back to me in three days. If the land reclamation is successful, we will clean up this place. If it fails, we will find another opportunity. "
Ma Wu was stunned: "Brother Li, what do you mean by this? Do you want to open up wasteland here by yourself?"
Li Banfeng really wanted to open up the new land on his own.
If entering Suishenju does not count as leaving the boundary of the land, then the task of reclaiming the land will become very simple for him, and leaving Ma Wu behind would become a burden.
"Brother, I have ways to deal with those aliens. Don't forget, I was able to get rid of Madam Moth.
I will stay here to open up new land. If I succeed, that would be great. If I fail, I will never be able to open up new land within a hundred miles.
But you didn't participate in this, you didn't shed blood, and you didn't open up new land, you still have a chance in the future."
Li Banfeng was telling the truth, he really liked this piece of land near the orange orchard. If the land reclamation failed, there was still some hope here with Ma Wu.
Li Banfeng said so much that Ma Wu had no choice but to agree. He repeatedly reminded him, "Brother Li, after entering the plot, hide yourself first. If you see any strange creatures, try not to attack them.
This is how Daboyans instructed my family to open up the wasteland. There are many places to hide in a one-mile area, and the fewer battles the better.
You just mentioned Lady Moth. I have to remind you again that if Lady Moth comes, you must not fight with her no matter what.
They are not sent by the local gods to test you, they are wandering monsters, strange monsters that roam everywhere, and it is bad luck to meet them. "
Li Banfeng asked: "If I encounter a wandering monster and go beyond the boundary, does that count as a failure in my land reclamation?"
"If you step out of bounds, you fail." Ma Wu knew that this was unfair, but that was the rule in Xindi.
Ma Wu left all his equipment to Li Banfeng: "I'll give you the water and food, and I'll also give you my weapons and spiritual objects. I'll just go to the orange orchard to eat oranges."
Li Banfeng knew that Ma Wu was thinking about him, but he didn't need these things: "Take your weapons and spiritual objects with you. There may be bad guys in the orange orchard.
Remember what I said, when you go to the orange orchard, you can eat as many oranges as you want, but don’t waste anything.”
Ma Wu remembered Li Banfeng's instructions and headed south.
Li Banfeng entered the plot and waited quietly for the examination to begin.
It was four o'clock, the time when Li Banfeng shed blood yesterday.
A ball of green fire slowly emerged in the dark sky, as if looking down at Li Banfeng.
This is the local god.
Is he going to attack me himself?
It was just a mile of land, so there shouldn't be a big fight, but Li Banfeng still held the key tightly and was prepared.
Two minutes later, the green fire disappeared.
The local god had no intention of fighting with Li Banfeng. Considering his status and identity, he should not have taken action.
He just came to take a look and confirm whether there were really people coming to open up the land.
It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that the first alien to open up the wasteland finally appeared.
Click!
This strange creature came out of the forest on dead leaves and branches, on all fours, more than three meters tall, with a huge head, a round body, a tuft of straight mane behind its head, and two white fangs in its mouth.
It was a wild boar, and apart from its big size, it seemed to have no other special features.
The wild boar slowly stepped into the field, carefully guarding against the ambush of the pioneers, and walked from the edge of the field to the vicinity of the altar, without seeing the pioneers.
"Damn it, I encountered a magician again!
I asked you guys if you guys are here to explore the land. If you are, I am here to meet you. I am just following your orders. If you can fight me, we will fight you for a few rounds. If you can’t, we will have a few drinks. I will never make things difficult for you.”
This wild boar can speak human language, and he speaks so politely. If I really go out and meet him and have a drink, can we turn hostility into friendship and make friends in the new place?
You're overthinking it. This wild boar is not here to make friends, he is here to kill people.
He received a bounty from the local god and came specifically to kill the pioneers. If he killed a pioneer, the local god would reward him with three months of cultivation. If he forced the pioneers to leave the land, or if he killed all the pioneers, causing the land reclamation to fail, the local god would reward him with an extra year of cultivation.
Land reclamation is a test, not only for the pioneers, but also for the living beings who dare to fight hard in the new land.
"I'm telling you, if you don't come out, I'm going to be angry with you. If I find you, don't blame me for being cruel!"
The wild boar walked from the altar to another border, but still didn't see a single person.
He is angry.
His strength is fighting, but he is not good at fighting with wits.
"You won't come out, right? Fine, I'll wait here. If you can, don't make any noise. If you make any noise, I'll hear it. By then, it will be too late for you to cry!"
The wild boar lay on the ground, waiting for the pioneers to show up.
It’s freezing cold, let’s see who can give up first!
In the test of land reclamation, wild boars have the perseverance!
…
Li Banfeng sat on the edge of the bed, covered with a quilt.
The lady brewed a cup of tea and handed it to Li Banfeng.
Li Banfeng complained to his wife while drinking tea: "Do you know how cold it is outside? If it weren't for buying groceries for you, I wouldn't want to go out. Look how cold I have been these past few days."
Clank, clank, clank~
"Thank you for your hard work, my dear. I will cook you a bowl of hot soup later."
"You have to boil a basin of bath water for me so I can wash myself properly, and then heat a pot of hot wine for me and heat up two more side dishes. What's the point of just making a bowl of soup?"
"Husband, everything else is easy to deal with. Just wait and see about bathing. We don't have much water at home."
Li Banfeng has been walking in the new place for many days and has not yet replenished his water supply. The remaining two buckets of water are barely enough for drinking. His wife is a steam record player, so she consumes a lot of water.
Wait a little longer. As long as the land reclamation is successful, a well can be dug in the new land, and then we can replenish the water source.
If the land reclamation fails, we can only go to the orange orchard and ask the old man for some water.
I don’t know whether Ma Wu reached the orange orchard.
…
Thirty miles is not far for a first-level cultivator. After walking more than twenty miles, Ma Wu could vaguely see the tall orange trees.
He repeated Li Banfeng's instructions in his mind, that when he arrived at the orange orchard, he must not break the rules and must use everything in moderation.
While I was thinking, I suddenly heard a cry for help: "Gentleman passing by, please give me a hand."
Ma Wu's ears twitched, but he did not stop.
He is a Huan Xiu, and many people think that men who practice Huan Xiu should be extra loving and caring to women.
This is wrong. Huan Xiu does not mean being gentle with women. On the contrary, men who practice Huan Xiu do not cherish women very much.
This is a new place, and no one can predict what will happen there, so it’s best not to meddle in other people’s business.
"Sir, please save me, I beg you."
The cry for help came again. Ma Wu was about to quicken his pace when he suddenly felt a surge of guilt in his heart.
If I don't save a woman trapped in the wilderness, will I regret it for the rest of my life?
"Just give me a hand, I'll walk the rest of the way by myself. I won't be a burden to you."
Listening to the woman's voice again, you can tell she is not a bad person.
Ma Wu turned his head and saw the woman calling for help among a bunch of thorns.
The woman was wearing a red dress with a yellow ribbon around her waist.
Her legs were entangled in a bunch of thorns, which stretched from her ankles to her knees and were slowly climbing up her body.
The woman desperately grabbed the thorns with her hands, and blood flowed along the sharp thorns onto the green vines.
Green snake vine, a strange species that is hard to tell whether it is a snake or a vine.
This vine usually clings to the tree and does not move. Even if someone pulls it off the tree, throws it on the ground and cuts it with a knife, it will still not move.
But sometimes it would suddenly move, no matter whether it was a wild animal or a living person, as long as it had flesh and blood, the green snake vine would entangle it, crush all the flesh and blood, and then suck it all out.
The green snake vine is very difficult to deal with. Its thorns are poisonous and the vines are extremely tough. If Ma Wu goes forward to tear it, he will most likely be entangled by the green snake vine along with the woman.
This green snake vine was particularly thick, which made Ma Wu feel scared. However, looking at the woman's pitiful tearful face, Ma Wu didn't want to just stand by and watch.
I have to save her. It's fate that I met her.
Ma Wu used his charm technique on the green snake vine.
As a first-level cultivator, his charm skills were not very strong, but they were enough for the Green Snake Vine.
In terms of pure strength, Green Snake Vine is equivalent to a third-level martial artist.
But when it comes to intelligence, the green snake vine is quite simple.
As soon as Ma Wu gave her a look, the Green Snake Vine immediately took a liking to her. It left the woman behind and started chasing after Ma Wu.
Ma Wu shouted to the woman, "Go!"
The woman struggled to get up and limped away.
Ma Wu looked at the woman's back and felt reluctant to leave.
She is so beautiful.
Although Ma Wu didn't see her appearance clearly, he knew that she was very beautiful.
But when Ma Wu came to his senses, he found that the green snake vine was gone.
This thing burrows into the ground.
To be precise, its roots were originally underground, and at this moment they were using their huge root system to slowly surround Ma Wu.
Ma Wu didn't dare to run around, for fear of being entangled by the green snake vine if he was not careful.
This thing is not smart, not smart!
Ma Wu kept reminding himself.
There will be signs before it is unearthed. As long as you can see the signs clearly...
He saw no signs.
He is not a travel cultivator and does not have a good sense of danger.
He was completely unaware that the green snake vine was about to emerge from behind him.
The woman in red suddenly ran back, grabbed Ma Wu, and limped forward desperately.
Ma Wu was surprised and asked, "Why did you come back again?"
The woman turned her back to Ma Wu, and said in a soft voice with a hint of strength: "I'll come back to save you!"
"I don't need you to save me!"
"You saved me, so I have to save you. This is fate and destiny."
Fate and destiny.
Ma Wu felt his heart beating wildly.
It is ridiculous to ask a practitioner to learn to love someone sincerely.
But Ma Wu felt that he had fallen in love with the woman in front of him.
The green snake vine is not very fast and it cannot leave the range of its own roots. The woman Ma Wu had already gotten rid of the green snake vine.
But Ma Wu is still running after her, and he would rather keep running like this for the rest of his life.
…
Huge wild boars kept running back and forth across the plot.
It was very agitated. It had heard some noises and had searched for the entire night, but it still could not find any trace of the pioneers.
It even suspected that there were no pioneers on this land.
The local god deceived me.
No, you can't say you lied to me.
He was testing me.
If I could tell that there were no pioneers here, he would definitely appreciate me and give me a generous reward!
The wild boar wanted to leave the land, and the moment he reached the boundary, he smelled something.
The smell of people, very fresh smell.
The smell is not far away, less than a hundred meters away.
The wild boar followed the smell and finally found the traces left by Li Banfeng.
Not long ago, Li Banfeng urinated here and then returned to Suishenju. The smell left behind was indeed fresh.
There really are pioneers!
It was my carelessness!
Where is he?
The wild boar looked at the traces around it and found that Li Banfeng's footprints suddenly disappeared. There were no trees in the area. Since it was impossible for him to climb a tree, it proved that he had escaped underground.
This pioneer has the skill of escaping underground!
The wild boar began to dig vigorously where the footprints disappeared.
ps: Who did Ma Wu meet? How did he fall in love so easily?
