About the story of a brave man being a potato for a thousand years and then the world was destroyed

"Maybe it's because it's daytime now," Ji Lunini replied, "although I don't know if they have the difference between day and night."

"Go and see," Yain said, dispelling the sunlight spell and walking in the direction that Mo Wente was looking at.

Earthwalkers generally hate warm light, and it would be rude to continue using sunlight spells to illuminate their cities.

Seeing this, Liu Ji hurried to follow.

Ao Sa glanced at his backpack.

The little potatoes were still in a state of unconsciousness or pretending to be dead, with no intention of waking up.

Sighing, Ao Sa carried Ji Lunini and followed the pace of the two.

"Well... that," Ji Lunini scratched his head, "Actually, you can put me down."

"It's okay, you're not heavy," Ao Sa didn't care much, "It's just right for you to be alert to the surroundings, sit high and see far."

"Well, that's okay..."

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of wind behind them.

Turning around, they saw that Mowente had gone somewhere, leaving only Kalidora looking at them helplessly.

"Huh?" Osa blinked, "He's going to walk alone in the dark again?"

"Yeah," Kalidora said with a wry smile, "The team has a little more people, so he wants to go out and wander around again."

"Hey, as expected," Jilunini shrugged, "Let him go, he's good at this."

Kalidora smiled helplessly, and could only take a step and follow everyone to the direction of the tavern.

At this time, Yayin, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped.

She looked left and right, and then frowned.

"What's wrong?" Liu Ji followed and asked.

"Something's wrong," Yayin whispered, "Strange, why are there only old people and children on this street?

And these children, why are they more handsome than each other?"

63. Fourth update Is this a tavern or a senior activity center?

Yayin's words made Liu Ji a little confused.

He looked left and right, up and down, but he couldn't see how these little things on the street with small eyes, big noses, hunched bodies, and thick shells on their hands were good-looking.

If he were to evaluate, he would probably only think that these little things were really good-looking...

But Ya Yin said that these children were really good-looking. As a tribe of earth walkers, they were not all handsome boys and girls, but at least none of them could be called ugly.

This was very unusual.

Because earth walkers live underground all year round, their vision is much weaker than that of other races. They mainly rely on hearing and smell to move around. When choosing a partner, they almost never consider appearance. Therefore, people's impression of earth walkers is mostly "I can't see anyway, so just grow whatever you want."

The result is that generally speaking, among three earth walkers, basically one has to be ugly.

"Is it that the earth walkers on this side of the desert are more particular?" Ya Yin thought unconsciously.

But on the other hand, it was strange. There seemed to be quite a few children on the street, but why couldn't I see any young adults?

Are they all working as office animals?

It shouldn't be the case. This place is so run-down. Is the work pressure still so great?

"Don't think too much. Let's find out if there is any information about other people," Osa and others followed at this time. "I didn't find any other outsiders here. If Snow and others had been here before, they should be very conspicuous."

"Well, that's the only way," Yain nodded. "Huh? Where's Mowent? Is he a lone ranger again?"

"Yeah, never mind him. He might come back with some good news soon," Osa said, and pushed the door into the tavern.

As the big guy walked in, the noisy tavern suddenly became quiet.

Looking up, the whole tavern was full of old earth walkers playing chess. If you didn't know, you might have thought you had entered a senior activity center.

Although it was called a pub, there was no smell of alcohol in the whole house. The table was full of steaming white water, which looked very healthy.

Osa looked around and almost blurted out "Sorry, I'm bothering you."

He had never seen a pub with this kind of atmosphere in his life. He was so uncomfortable.

Just as he was stunned, the old earth walker behind the counter rang the bell, attracting his attention.

"Hello, guests from outside," the old earth walker said with a smile, his voice full of vicissitudes, but very energetic, "Come and sit down, there are still empty seats inside."

"Ah, okay," Osa scratched his head, made a color to Yayin and others behind him, and then walked into the pub.

As they walked into the pub, the earth walkers around them also whispered, as if they were very curious about their arrival.

Several people sat down at the empty table at the back of the pub, and the old earth walker who looked like the manager also came over with a menu and put it on everyone's table.

"Sorry, we haven't had outsiders here for a long time, and they are all a little curious," the old earth walker said with a smile, "Everything that the store has is on the menu, tell me what you need, or what do you want to know?"

"Uh, old man, before that, I want to ask a question," Yain said, "What currency do you use for transactions here?"

"Currency? Oh, there are some places that use crystals for transactions, but we don't need that here," said the old earth walker with a smile, "Anyway, the church will allocate funds to us, and the people who come here are usually old guys. They drink and eat, and that's all. We haven't charged for a long time."

After hearing this, several people looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

"Old sir, excuse me..." Callidora said, "This should be a tavern, right?"

"Yes, it is," the old earth walker nodded, "It's a pity that the city has stopped selling alcohol because of insufficient food, so you can only make do with it."

"That's okay, but..." Osa scratched his head, "Your young people here, uh, not those children, I mean, those young and middle-aged people, don't they usually come to the tavern?"

"Young and middle-aged? Oh, hey, you don't know yet," the old earth walker said with a smile, "They are not in this city. Here, all healthy young people will join the brave guards when they reach adulthood and fight on the front line."

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned.

"No matter men or women, everyone must join the army?" Yain frowned. "How long has this situation lasted?"

"It has been like this since the underground monsters invaded this city three hundred years ago," sighed the old earth walker. "The church said that they were monsters from another world, and we have been fighting them for hundreds of years."

"So, are you all people who survived the battlefield?" Ao Sa asked in confusion.

"No, haha, most of us were ill at the time and could not go to the battlefield. We could only hide in this city and live a miserable life," the old earth walker smiled self-deprecatingly, and raised his left hand. Everyone realized that the front end of his left hand was actually a wooden stick prosthesis.

"As for the heroes who went to the battlefield," the old earth walker shook his head, "they will all fight until the last moment of their lives. If they die, they will only die on the battlefield. This is their honor."

Everyone looked at each other and frowned.

This statement is really weird.

No veterans retired? Well, let's assume that they would rather die than retreat, so there should be wounded soldiers who can be discharged, right?

After so many years of fighting, those who went there had to die, and the troops were constantly replenished, but this battle has never ended?

It doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it.

And...

"What about the children in the city?" Ji Lunini frowned, "Where did they come from?"

"Of course they are the descendants of our heroic warriors," the old earth walker said with a smile, "The church will take back the descendants of the heroes who fell in love from the front line and send them back to the town. Therefore, everyone in the city has the obligation to raise them.

Speaking of this, alas, there are still some shameless trash in this city, who form gangs in private and kidnap some children to help them dig crystals.

They are really racial traitors, disgusting.

But it's a coincidence that not long ago, a group of outsiders came here and smashed the mines of those bastards..."

When everyone heard this, everyone's attention was instantly pulled back from other weird details.

"Those people!" Ao Sa was so excited that he almost slammed the table. "Uh, sorry, I want to ask, what are their characteristics?"

"Characteristics..." The old earth walker scratched his chin, "Because I didn't see it with my own eyes, I only heard rumors. It seems that there are three people in total. The leader is a short man with a thick book on his back. The remaining two, one seems to have a bow and arrow, and the other has a sword and shield...

I also heard that the outsider with the bow and arrow seems to be still hanging around the mine now."

**. Five more How do you know that the gangs are just liars?

Liu Ji was a little confused.

He followed everyone into a restaurant and thought he was going to eat, but before he could even sit down, a group of people said something to the boss and left in a hurry.

But he didn't care. This restaurant looked like a senior activity center. The old men next door had only boiled water and hard bread on the table, which looked even worse than the food they cooked on the road. He didn't like to eat these things.

Following the crowd, they ran straight out of the main city.

Hmm... maybe that area should be called the main city.

After all, the only area in this city that can be called a city is the neighborhoods near the few streets after going down the stairs. Going further out, there are ruins of dilapidated old houses everywhere. The better ones can still see collapsed roofs, and the rotten ones can only leave a few pillars and garbage.

Maybe this place was once part of the city, but obviously, with the decline of the city, these places have completely become "suburbs".

And deep in the suburbs, gradually, some mine car tracks that are not commensurate with these dilapidated buildings appeared on the road.

Although these tracks are not very new or good, they can be used anyway, and there are traces of human maintenance.

Following the track all the way forward, everyone saw a mine pit with lights on in the distance near the stone wall.

Outside the mine pit, a woman who did not look like a land walker was sitting in front of the stove, setting up a big pot, and seemed to be making a fire and cooking something.

Near her, a bunch of Earthwalker children were running, jumping and playing some kind of yard game.

Seeing the woman from a distance, Ji Lunini shouted in surprise: "It's Guoguo! Great! She's fine!"

And Ao Sa directly raised his hands, waving and shouting loudly: "Hey! Guo Guo! Can you hear me!"

His loud voice was particularly noticeable in the quiet underground. When the woman in the distance heard their voices, she suddenly looked up.

Then as if he couldn't believe it, he rubbed his eyes and looked over again.

The next moment, she jumped up like a cat frightened by cucumbers, purred, and came towards the crowd.

Aossa opened his hands and with a smile on his face, he planned to give his long-awaited partner a big hug.

However, when the opponent ran closer, he passed directly under his armpit and threw himself into Yayin's arms.

"Xiao Yayin! Woohoo, great! You are all fine!" She shouted while rubbing her head against Yayin.

Osa on the side was a little embarrassed and scratched his head, feeling like he had nowhere to put his hands.

Ji Lunini, who was sitting on his shoulder, laughed out loud, stretched out her hand to rub Ao Sa's ears, and teased: "You too, it's not like you don't know how sticky Guo Guo is, so don't be embarrassed now. Come on."

"Ah ha, what a big deal," Ao Sa shrugged, "As long as she's fine."

"Okay Guoguo! Of course we will be fine," Yayin had just managed to break free from Guoguo's clutches and grabbed her head. "By the way, is there anyone else with you?"

"Xue Nuo and Wei Luo were with me before," Guo Guo wiped the excited tears from her eyes, "but now I'm the only one left here."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Yayin was stunned, "Where did they go?"

"The two of them..." Guoguo scratched her cheek, "I have been worried about this matter recently. When we came here, we got information that there was an army from another world underground nearby."

"Yeah, I know," Yayin frowned, "You mean they went to investigate?"

"Yes," Guoguo nodded, "They were worried that they had something to do with the tyrant, so they planned to go find out about the situation, but they haven't come back yet. I'm worried that they..."

At this point, Guoguo bit her lip and whispered: "It's all my fault, I should have stopped them..."

"No, I don't blame you. If you can stop those two people, you'll have trouble." Yayin sighed, "Besides, it's not so easy for them to get into trouble. They'll probably run into some kind of trouble. Tsk, yes. Find a way to contact them..."

While a few people were talking, the little earthwalkers who were playing in front of the mine also ran over, gathered together curiously, and looked at Ya Yin and others.

For those who have stayed here without going out, Yayin and the others are a group of outsiders of all kinds, which makes them very curious.

"Guoguo? What's going on with these kids?" Ao Sa asked.

"Ah, they are child laborers that Snow rescued from the mine," Guoguo said. "This place was previously controlled by some gang. When Snow was investigating, he killed them all. Then he went to investigate the situation again, and the result was It’s up to me to stay and take care of them..."

"Huh? I remember, didn't the previous boss say that the church would take care of them?" Jilunini interjected, "Why don't you send them to the church?"

"Well, I've thought about it too, but..." Guoguo scratched her head and looked at the group of children with some helplessness, "Those gangsters seem to have been telling them that if the church catches them, they will be eaten. , although I know this is to scare children, but they all seem to think so..."

At this moment, a sudden voice interrupted Guoguo.

"No, it's a pity. This is not necessarily to scare children," Mowente appeared out of nowhere and nodded at Guoguo, "Miss Guomimona, I'm glad to see you're okay."

"Ah, well, Mr. Mowente, I'm glad to see you again..." Guoguo said this and shrank behind Yayin for some reason, as if she was a little afraid of Mowente.

"Went, what do you mean by what you just said?" Osa interrupted, "What's not to scare children?"

"Hmm..." Mowente glanced at the Earthwalker kid beside him, thought for a moment, and said in dragon language, "The gangsters said that the church can eat people. It may be true."
