Chapter 1616 Do You Have Any Vegetables Here?
Hunters hunt by relying on traces, such as the prey's feces, fur, footprints, etc., as well as its special smell.
The people here all have a smell about them, not too stinky, but very rotten.
It's similar to the smell of rotten wood after a heavy rain. Although it's not easy to evaporate in cold areas, it's easy to smell because there are almost no other odors around.
Lei Zhen is a hunter who always likes to expose his weaknesses and plays the role of hunter of prey all the time.
He sniffed and found that his nose was almost like a dog's, and was much more sensitive to smells than before.
Although the reason is unclear, we can probably guess that it is mainly because the strength has increased and the limits of the body have been constantly broken.
The sense of feeling, smell, vision, etc. seem to have been greatly improved.
The flavors are extra strong tonight!
Following the breath, Lei Zhen climbed up the snowy mountain. His nose was exposed to the cold air, twitching from time to time.
When he reached halfway up the mountain, he stopped climbing because the smell came from here.
"boom!"
Two figures suddenly rushed out from under the snow, slashing with swords.
Too slow!
These were two violent men, but in Lei Zhen's eyes, their speed was too slow.
He slightly turned sideways to avoid the first blow, then casually took a step to the side to avoid the second blow.
"drink--"
The berserker continued to attack, dancing the long sword in his hand with impenetrable force.
Lei Zhen raised his foot and kicked one of them.
"Bang!"
The berserker flew backwards, lying on the snow with blood in his mouth and an expression of disbelief on his face.
Because Lei Zhen's kick came straight at him, without any fancy moves or techniques, but he avoided the blade accurately.
It's so simple that it makes people wonder if there is any luck involved.
"Bang!"
Another berserker also fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, curled up in a ball holding his abdomen, unable to make a sound due to the pain.
"A lone berserker would have committed suicide upon seeing me, yet you dared to do it." Lei Zhen said calmly, "You are organized and disciplined. It seems I have found the place."
After a few days of hunting, he roughly figured out the structure of this place.
The Wanderers are the lowest class and the largest in number, and are ruled by the Berserkers; the Berserkers are also numerous and are ruled by the Plunderers.
In the same way, the Predators are ruled by the Guardians.
The standard pyramid structure builds a world where strength is respected from bottom to top.
A world where strength is respected has a very notable feature, which is that there is not so much intrigue, and whoever is stronger will be in power.
The one below can challenge the one above at any time, and as long as the challenge is successful, the other party will be replaced.
It's probably similar to a wolf pack. The leader wolf is not static and faces challenges from strong male wolves in the group at any time. If he loses one game, he's finished.
The berserkers and plunderers that Lei Zhen saw in the previous few days were relatively scattered, but the ones he encountered today were organized. If he guessed correctly, the boss here should be a guardian.
“Crack! Crack!…”
The sound of running could be heard from both sides, as many wanderers, led by the berserkers, rushed out of the cave.
In a short period of time, hundreds of people rushed out, forming a black mass, surrounding Lei Zhen in the middle.
Then there was a flash of fire, and dozens of looters came out, each standing in a reserved position, forming a separate combat team within the group.
"There's fire!"
Lei Zhen was excited because fire is a symbol of civilization.
I had hunted so many times before, but I didn’t find any fire. But I found it here.
Predators can form groups, but not to this degree of effectiveness, so there is at least one Guardian in there.
"From now on, my words are final." Lei Zhen drew his long sword and shouted, "Everyone must kneel before me. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who disobey me will perish!"
Infinitely arrogant and domineering.
But this is how it is in places like this. Status is earned through fighting, there are no other shortcuts.
"kill--"
"kill--"
"kill--"
As dozens of looters held torches high, brutal shouts of killing rang out from all directions.
The wanderers rushed forward, mixed with the violent ones, and in an instant formed a terrifying sea of people, rushing towards Lei Zhen.
“Puff! Puff! Puff!…”
The long sword was swung and the head fell to the ground.
In a flash, Lei Zhen started a killing spree.
No enemy, no matter if it was a wanderer or a berserker, could get close to him.
In a short time, the ice and snow under his feet were dyed red, headless corpses piled up, and bloody heads rolled down the mountain.
This is the difference in strength, which makes people feel extremely satisfied with the crushing slaughter.
"rush--"
Four looters rushed down from a high place holding torches, ready to kill Lei Zhen with their combined strength.
"puff!"
A predator's head shot into the sky.
This unlucky guy was killed instantly by a single knife as soon as he got to the opponent, and he had no power to fight back at all.
The other plunderers who had approached were horrified, realizing that the person in front of them was not just ordinary powerful, but at least a leader.
Just as they panicked, the bloody long knife had already slashed across their necks.
“Clatter…”
Blood gushed out and heads rolled.
Lei Zhen had no other choice but to behead.
Because here, chopping off the head is the only deterrent, and only by being brutal enough can you win the respect of others.
"Who else—"
Lei Zhen raised his long sword and roared.
In the cold and snowy world, his appearance frightened everyone, and his strength was so terrifying that even the wanderers without personality retreated and hesitated to step forward.
Instinct told them that this was an existence they could not fight against, and the desire to survive also saved them with fear.
No one came forward anymore, they were all shocked.
The plunderers standing on high ground were filled with fear, realizing that Lei Zhen was the real superior plunderer!
"What a courage!"
A sound like thunder was heard, and an extremely strong man walked out of the cave with a huge mace in his hand.
When the people on the mountain saw him coming out, they all knelt on the ground.
The plunderers knelt on one knee, the violent ones knelt on both knees, and the wanderers prostrated themselves on the ground in fear to welcome their supreme leader.
This is the Guardian, a top-tier existence in the Land of Exile.
"Are there any vegetables?" Lei Zhen asked.
"Huh?!" The Guardian stared at him.
"I mean, do you have any vegetables? I'll trade them for something." Lei Zhen pointed at the corpse at his feet and said, "This food is very fresh, and everyone here can testify to that. So, are you willing to trade? If you really don't have any vegetables, that's fine. If you have rice or flour, that's fine, too."
"Destroy my place?" the guardian said coldly.
"Oh, your intelligence is really high. You can actually say this." Lei Zhen was shocked.
He almost didn't know people here could have a normal conversation, but this guy could, and it almost made him cry with joy.
"We have vegetables, pork, and strong liquor." The guardian raised his mace and grinned, "It all depends on whether you have the ability."
“Bang!”
Lei Zhen took a heavy step forward, his body taking a half horse stance, holding the sword in both hands in full combat mode, and his body suddenly exuded a suffocating momentum.
Even if you stand in a low place, it is like looking down on all living beings.
