Chapter Thirty-Seven Something Strange
The people in Hongsha Village had just rested after a long journey, and they all looked exhausted.
Although Han Xiao was anxious, he did not urge him and could only wait anxiously secretly.
After all, everyone is so tired and it is very dangerous to force them to go on the road. Urging them at this time is just annoying.
Everyone, including Shao Yingchun, ignored Han Xiao for the time being and quickly recovered.
Han Xiao and Han Xiao looked like they were poor and poor, one was poor and the other was white, their bodies were in rags, and they carried two leather bags on their backs.
The mount carrying Lu Dali was actually a military-level spiritual beast, which showed how poor it was and did not arouse any interest from everyone.
If you have this skill, you might as well try to please Village Chief Shao and a few sergeants.
There are only seven women among these people, and the male-to-female ratio is as serious as that of an engineering university.
Most of these women were pretty, six of them were sitting around Shao Yingchun and several sergeants.
Occasionally I talk to a few people, even two, and often stick to Shao Yingchun.
Although Shao Yingchun still acted like a good village leader, he had no intention of refusing, and everyone acted as if they were used to it.
There was only one, sitting a little further away, seeming a little isolated.
However, there will always be some people who are very curious and very familiar with it.
A young man with a round baby face quietly approached Han Xiao and the others.
Looking at Lu Dali's tragic situation, he showed sympathy and said to Han Xiao:
"Brothers, what happened to you? How did you end up like this?"
"Don't mention it. We have been careful to avoid psychic creatures, but unexpectedly we encountered a few orcs and managed to escape with our lives."
Han Xiao also wanted to know more about the situation in Hongsha Village, so he naturally cooperated and started chatting.
"What? It turns out that you were also attacked by orcs." The baby-faced expression showed sympathy, "We were lucky enough to escape. This time we??? ugh."
Hongsha Village was attacked this time, and several more people died.
Well, I can’t say death. Anyway, I was captured by the orcs. I don’t know what will happen.
Three of them were still very powerful sergeants, who were on par with Shao Yingchun. This caused the village's overall strength to decline greatly, and everyone was feeling gloomy.
"By the way, my name is Ye Xiaoqiang, and your name is Han Xiao, right? I have been in the Shi District for more than three years, and you have made good progress just by yourself."
Baby Face introduced himself, feeling Han Xiao's strength, and sighed.
He has also been promoted to the rank of knight for two years. Unfortunately, he was unlucky enough to reach this red desert.
If he hadn't met the people from Hongsha Village, he would have been dead long ago.
However, the overall strength of Hongsha Village is not high, and it is difficult to survive in this desert. The resources it can usually obtain are very few, and he cannot get a lot of them.
After two years of training, the corporal has only practiced about halfway, and his strength is still very poor.
I am very envious that Han Xiao, with only two people, has already completed the corporal training in just three years.
"It's all luck. There happens to be a kind of psychic creature in our place that the two of us can barely deal with, and we accumulated it bit by bit.
By the way, Brother Ye, I have a very curious question. Don’t they say it’s hard to meet orcs in the Shi District? Why do I feel like orcs are everywhere?
You were also attacked by orcs, and we were both attacked by orcs."
After chatting for a while, Han Xiao asked his biggest question.
Ye Xiaoqiang belongs to the weakest group in Hongsha Village and usually has little sense of presence.
Hearing Han Xiao call him Brother Ye, I felt very happy. Everything he knew was poured into Han Xiao like beans.
"In this desert, there happens to be a very large orc town, which seems to occupy the largest oasis.
It is said that there is even a sergeant-level orc sitting in the town, who is very powerful."
When Ye Xiaoqiang was promoted to the rank of knight, the news about the orcs had already become a household name following the incident in Ares Village, so he naturally knew about it.
Oh, Han Xiao suddenly realized that the one-horned bear man from before must be from that town.
This mortal enemy will have to find its way back sooner or later! A cold light flashed in Han Xiao's eyes as he thought bitterly.
"Since there is such a powerful orc town, have you ever tried to find a way to leave this desert and find a larger human settlement?" He asked curiously.
Ye Xiaoqiang did not answer this time, his expression changed, and he secretly glanced at Shao Yingchun.
He made a "shush" gesture with his index finger to Han Xiao, signaling him to silence and not to raise this issue.
Although Han Xiao was a little confused, he still cooperated and kept silent.
But I was thinking in my heart, and after thinking for a moment, I already had some guesses.
Perhaps Shao Yingchun, the village chief, is unwilling to leave this desert, and he is probably inseparable.
If he leaves this desert and encounters a large human settlement, he will carry the treasure of the village foundation stone with him, just like a child carrying gold through the busy city.
With his rank as low as a sergeant, there is no difference between him and someone actively seeking death.
In this red desert, there are few people around, so even if something happens, he can use the geographical advantage to escape.
I believe that after staying here for so many years, he already has a certain understanding of this desert.
As for the real world, it is estimated that he can only hide in some uninhabited place, and he may not even go back very often. With the level of technology in the real world, it is not too easy to locate him.
In addition, the scale of human settlements outside the desert is not expected to be particularly large, and there are not that many manpower to rush over to search for Shao Yingchun.
Besides, there is such a strong orc town here, so Shao Yingchun is probably secretly borrowing the orcs' advantage.
If Shao Yingchun doesn't want to leave the desert, then it will be very difficult for people in his village to leave.
The Red Desert is so dangerous. With this group of corporals and a few sergeants who are very poor, the chance of getting out alive is really very small. No one will take the risk easily.
However, considering that Shao Yingchun is in his thirties, he must have been here for many years, and his cultivation talent is probably not very good.
But the current people in Hongsha Village seem to have almost all come here in the past two or three years.
Could it be that many people have left Hongsha Village and this desert over the years?
Han Xiao always felt that something was not right, and even Ye Xiaoqiang, a straight-faced person, kept it secret, so there must be something wrong somewhere.
But he did not continue to ask about this matter, but he was more careful.
There were several people nearby who seemed to be listening to him chatting with Ye Xiaoqiang intentionally or unintentionally.
Han Xiao simply changed the topic and reminisced with Ye Xiaoqiang about the beautiful life in the real world before being promoted to the rank of knight.
Especially with the rich experience of Dabao Sword, I never expected that Ye Xiaoqiang is also a good player. If he meets Gao Shuai, he will definitely hit it off immediately.
Suddenly, blood began to flow out of Lu Dali's mouth again.
Han Xiao was startled and quickly took out the last bottle of healing medicine and poured some into his mouth.
Lu Dali slowly calmed down again.
