Chapter 179: The Old Village

Looking at the sincere expression on Meng Qing's face.

Before Li Yang could answer, Xiao Pu suddenly rushed out from the side and snatched the map from Meng Qing's hand.

Meng Qing was stunned, and Xiao Pu had already glanced at it quickly and roughly saw the content on the map.

Then, he raised his head thoughtfully and looked at Li Yang:

"Dad, this is the place I just mentioned, let's go together."

What a coincidence?

Li Yang nodded without thinking and agreed.

Anyway, after listening to Xiao Pu's words just now, he had the idea of ​​going into the mountain.

He was very curious about the "familiar feeling" that Xiao Pu mentioned, and wanted to know what interesting things he could find there.

Anyway, all the strange phenomena in Zhenlong Mountain are related to gods, which is a confirmed fact.

This time, maybe he can find a way to kill that god.

Li Yang used his ability to slightly strengthen the defense here.

By the way, let Bai Zhi guard this place. If there is any unexpected situation, she can also release different kinds of abundance according to various plants to change the situation.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was too lazy to run so far, so she decided to stay here and guard the base with Bai Zhi.

Pharmacist Nata has basically dealt with the seriously injured here, and the remaining lightly injured patients do not need her care.

She volunteered to do more.

Decided to take the initiative to join Meng Qing's search and rescue team. If survivors are really found, they can also temporarily provide emergency treatment for them.

As for Li Yang and Xiao Pu...

The two of them put more emphasis on the abnormality over there.

Xiao Pu is actually only interested in the strange familiarity over there.

Li Yang is a little curious, why Xiao Pu's so-called strange feeling has such a high degree of overlap with the hiding place of the survivors.

After a short period of preparation, Li Yang and his four people were ready next to the portal opened by Meng Qing and officially set off.

Those places are just a long distance away from the World Tree Base.

The distance between them was not far.

Meng Qing directly opened the portal near one of the locations, making it easier for everyone to start looking.

With a light "buzzing" sound, a clear crack emerged in the empty air.

The surrounding space was like a calm water surface that was disturbed, and a faint ripple was raised.

Then, Li Yang stepped out first.

This place far away from the World Tree stronghold has basically no traces of human intrusion.

All plants grow wildly under the action of sunlight and nutrients, forming an impenetrable canopy in the sky more than ten meters high, greedily blocking most of the sunlight outside.

Some vines and weeds, nourished by the faint light from the cracks, covered every inch of land.

And it can be seen that this should be somewhere like halfway up the mountain.

Not far ahead is a rugged rock wall covered with plants.

After standing on the ground, Li Yang immediately began to activate the authority of God and his innate ability.

Continue to cover the original plants with your own plants to clear other monsters that may be hiding in the mountain.

Meng Qing immediately walked along the mountain road towards the rock wall without stopping.

According to the content marked on the map, Li Yang understood that this was the first place he wanted to explore.

Meng Qing skillfully pushed aside the layers of branches and leaves, revealing a dark cave more than ten meters high behind.

Several people were immediately shocked by the situation in front of them.

At the entrance of the cave, there were many corpses of eyeball monsters lying.

And inside, there was a bonfire that had been extinguished for a long time.

Next to the bonfire, there were some dirty blood-stained cloth strips and many emergency food bags stained with mud and blood.

Obviously, there were people here not long ago.

But judging from this, the people who took refuge here should not have a good end.

"My grandmother said that this place was a tiger cave a long time ago."

"There are tigers in Zhenlong Mountain, and they have been rampant for quite a while..."

"The traces of life here are still very fresh, which means we have found the right place."

"Check the surrounding caves, and we will definitely find the survivors..."

Meng Qing said, but his eyes were still a little uneasy.

"There are no bodies, which means that at least no one is injured here."

"Maybe they are hiding in other caves."

Although the pharmacist Nata didn't like this thin dwarf very much, she felt pity for Meng Qing when she saw his pale face, and comforted him.

Li Yang casually flipped through the information about Zhenlong Mountain that he had just received from Luo An, and asked casually:

"The most abundant resource in Zhenlong Mountain is a crystal that was discovered only after the world was gamed and can only be mined by hand..."

"These crystals can be enchanted in a special way and become very popular enchanted crystals on the market. They are mostly used to make enchanted equipment and some magic props..."

"...So the village in Zhenlong Mountain is essentially a small pioneer village like the gold mining town in the west of the Ugly Country?"

Seeing that Li Yang was interested in his hometown, Meng Qing hurriedly explained:

"When the world was first gamed, beast tides were everywhere."

"Some powerful job-changers pioneered everywhere and took back many places that originally belonged to humans from the monsters. By the way, they also established a living village in this Zhenlong Mountain."

"Later, many people gradually discovered the mineral veins in Zhenlong Mountain, and they came here from afar with the idea of ​​making a fortune and settled down."

"The two villages on the Zhenlong Mountain side have also grown from less than a hundred people at the beginning."

"In its heyday, there were even tens of thousands of people stationed there, which was almost like a small town."

"But later, the crystal mining was almost done, Zhenlong Mountain had no economic value, and many people left directly."

"So in the mountains, you can actually see a lot of crystal mining facilities and large and small mine caves."

"Many of the caves are still connected to each other. Most people who live here know about them and played in them when they were young."

"That's why I said... the probability of survivors will be very high."

"With so many villagers living in Zhenlong Mountain, they must know how to use the complex terrain to deal with those monsters."

"Now they may be waiting for us to rescue them somewhere."

After saying that, Meng Qing's expression finally eased a little.

Then he was ready to take the lead and move to the next place on the map.

But at this moment, Xiao Pu suddenly turned his head and looked in a certain direction, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He said thoughtfully:

"Dad, it's a bit strange."

"The source of that strange feeling suddenly became two."

"And it seems that they are both very close to us..."
