Behind me is the earth

"What's wrong?"

Yan Zi walked to the road outside the tea stall.

Dust was flying on the road, but it didn't fall on her.

Zhang Bing wiped the sweat from his face: "I just fell asleep and found that the royal city in this world is full of nobles and mummies!"

"What!?"

Even though Yan Zi was well-informed, he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and a layer of white sweat rose up on his back: "Zhang Bing, who is this person you are dreaming about?"

"The Minister of Rites in the Imperial Court, Tu Lan."

Zhang Bing said.

The Minister of Rites, according to the old times and the regulations of previous dynasties, is definitely the core official of the imperial court. The issues learned from him should be correct.

"Did the Plague Stranger do it?"

Xingchi asked in shock.

"It seems that the Plague Alien has probably taken control of the courts of this world!

If so, it may be dangerous for us to enter the imperial city like this.

No wonder the plague alien called himself ‘I’. "

Yan Zi quickly calmed down and made a quick decision: "We still don't know the strength of the world's top martial arts. If we go there with our heads covered, we may be in danger.

Let’s first investigate the strength and weakness of this world and then make a plan. What do you think? "

She looked at Su Dingbian.

Su Dingbian nodded.

At this time, it is not the time to talk about democracy. Whoever is responsible for the consequences has the final say. As the leader of the team, Yan Zi, as long as it is not a principled mistake, Su Dingbian will not refute her.

Everyone left the official road and found an inaccessible place.

Yan Zi took out a capsule from her pocket and opened it. A drone with a length of about five meters and a wingspan of seven meters appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"Yuan Lai!"

Yan Zi called Yuan Lai, and Yuan Lai nodded, grabbed the drone with both hands and lifted it up.

Then she ran wildly, her speed instantly exceeding the speed of a pistol bullet. Under the huge lift, the plane soared into the sky and flew towards an altitude of 10,000 meters.

This is a reconnaissance aircraft similar to an early warning aircraft. It was originally intended to be a backup machine in case of satellite loss when performing missions in the north. Now it has come in handy in this small world.

After the plane landed, work started immediately.

This plane was brought back by Ren Shengsheng when he went to Duomei Island. It was purchased from the United States in the name of the Kingdom of Camai.

After it was brought back, it was magically modified by Ruan Tang, and its energy supply was replaced with purple electric crystal, which improved its operating capacity.

Its high-altitude detection range can reach 600 kilometers in diameter.

The synthetic aperture radar carried by the aircraft itself can detect the ground. As the aircraft flies and explores above, it emits microwave signals to the ground, and then processes and analyzes the microwave signals reflected back from the ground, and then transmits the pictures to Yan Zi. of tablets.

The terrain, landforms, vegetation, buildings, etc. are all very clear.

In the dim jungle, the sun shines through the layers of leaves on the thick humus ground. Each light spot is like a bright copper coin. The rays of light form the Tyndall effect, giving people a deep, dark and dreamy atmosphere. Feel.

The Tiger King sat silently outside the crowd for a while. He felt a little hungry, so he went out to hunt alone.

"This world is surrounded by endless deserts. These deserts are like mirror images and should also be the boundaries of this world."

Yan Zi used a small prism-like object to project the map on the tablet into the air. The picture became slightly blurred in the air, and a relatively complete small world appeared in everyone's eyes.

There are not only three cities in this world: Imperial City, Daughter City and Flying Spear City.

In the outer areas, there are some dotted villages and some naturally formed small market towns. In the desert, there are also some oases, large and small, and there are people living in the oases.

Based on the size of these villages and oases, a rough calculation would suggest that there should be a population of two to three hundred thousand people.

Including the population of the three cities, the number would be over 600,000.

The area of ​​this world is much larger than the black box world, and much larger than Yuandao. It is roughly equivalent to the area of ​​Wuzhou Province.

If we make a simple inference based on the theory that "the bigger the world is, the more populous it is, the more spiritual energy it has, the overall power and peak power will be stronger", the strength of this world is even greater than that of the black box world.

"I feel something is wrong with this pity lesson."

Su Ding zoomed in on several large oases, and on each of them there was a statue of the Empress of Mercy.

"If the Plague Strangers really occupied the courts of this world, how would they treat this apparently powerful sect?

Nowadays, people who seem to be living in harmony, and those who are plagued by strange diseases, can pass through the moon gate of the Lianren Cult temple unimpeded.

So is this sect that openly promotes ‘truth, goodness and beauty’ colluding with the imperial court? Or was this sect itself supported by the imperial court? "

Su Ding turned the map in the air and said with a frown: "I suggest that we withdraw from this world immediately and report the news to the central government, who will then make a decision."

Yan Zi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

The Moon Gate is in the temple of the Lianren Sect. If it is what Su Dingbian said, the danger here will become even higher.

At this time, a burst of footsteps approached quickly in the jungle. The Tiger King was carrying a deer on his shoulders. After he came among the people, he threw the deer on the ground: "Commander, I found a village on the edge of the cliff. .”

"What kind of village?"

Yan Zi asked.

"There is a cave hidden among the vines on the cliff. After entering the cave, there is a large cave. I transformed into a bat and went in to explore it.

The cave is divided into two levels, the upper and lower levels, and the lower level leads to a cliff.

The length of the entire cave must be more than three thousand meters. The spacious place is as high as a dozen floors and as wide as a football field. "

King Tiger described the cave he had just discovered.

"Approximately how many people are inside?"

Su Ding asked curiously.

"There are about four to five hundred people, and they have opened up a piece of land outside the cliff and planted some food.

Everyone in the village practices martial arts, and the children meditate in the cave. Most of the men inside have deep auras, and many are warriors who have developed internal strength and true energy. "

Tiger King said in detail.

"Would you like some contact?"

Su Dingbian and Yan Zi asked.

"Since these people are hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, they may not be of the same mind as the imperial court. If we get in touch, we may be able to learn more about this world."

Yan Zi nodded: "Team Leader Su, this task is left to you."

Su Dingbian nodded. He had a high talent for language, and he was the only one in the team who could communicate with people in this world without any barriers.

"Yuan Lai, Tiger King, you two go with Team Leader Su.

The others were waiting outside with me, secretly holding the line for Team Leader Su. "

Yan Zi divided the work and said.

"yes!"

Everyone got the mission.

"Sharpening your knife is not a waste of time chopping wood. Eat something first and wait until you are full."

Yan Zi snapped her fingers, and a cluster of flames ignited from the tips of her fingers, and a pile of dead branches was ignited with a casual throw.

Yuan Lai rubbed his hands, skillfully took out the knife, and began to bleed, remove the hair, and remove the internal organs of the deer.

Three times, five times and two times divided by two, the ordinary deer was quickly cooked under the hot flames and turned into a fragrant and delicious deer with higher added value.

Eat and drink enough.

Put out the flames.

Tiger King leads the way.

Came to a place in the middle of a mountain.

"It's right in front. The entrance is behind the vines."

Tiger King pointed to the mountain wall in front of him and said.

"The signal inside may not be good, so be careful."

Yan Zi instructed.

"Don't worry, Commander Yan, there will be no problem."

Su Dingbian had strong confidence in his own strength: "Let's go!"

Tiger King and Yuan Lai followed him to the mountain wall and lifted up the vines. Sure enough, a stone gap as tall as a person was exposed in front of them.

At first he was extremely narrow, but only then did he understand people.

After bending down and walking dozens of steps, I suddenly became enlightened.

There is a stone tablet standing here with three characters: "Moyun Village".

The font is exactly the same as the outside world and everyone can understand it.

"How did you get in?"

Behind the stone monument, a shirtless young man wearing only shorts looked nervously and curiously at the three people who broke in.

"This little brother, we went hunting in the mountains and found a cave on the stone wall, so we came here. But we never imagined that there is such a paradise-like village hidden here."

Su Ding said while cupping his hands.

"People from the imperial court?"

The little brother became more and more nervous.

"No, we came in from outside."

Su Dingbian guessed something from his brother's reaction and asked: "We are not familiar with this world. Did Moyun Village enter this cave to avoid the world?"

"Moyun Village has been here for a long time, and I don't know. This is the first time since I can remember that an outsider has come in. I will take you to see our village chief. He knows a lot."

The little brother lifted up a wooden barrel. Inside the barrel was some fresh moss. I wonder what he used the moss for.

In the cave, the constant temperature is around 17 or 18 degrees Celsius, and there are obvious traces of gouges on the road surface, all of which were created by humans.

The road illuminated by the bright lights in the cave was dim and bright. After walking for a while, more and more people met, and they all looked at these three unfamiliar and fresh faces with curiosity.

The sound of running water was flowing under the stone road. This was due to the underground water seeping in through the cracks in the stones. It gathered here to form an underground river. When everyone walked to a wide area, they even saw the river. It pours down from a high place and turns into a waterfall impacting into the underground lake below.

Above the platform, someone dug some skylights into the mountain, allowing sunlight to pour in, illuminating the platform very brightly.

Below the platform, there are more than a dozen families living here.

"This is where the elders of the village live, but the village chief is not here and has to walk a little further."

The younger brother continued walking with the three of them.

Most people here wear very little. I don’t know whether it’s due to the environment or customs. It’s not just men who like to go shirtless here, but women as well.

"The ground here is slippery, be careful."

The boy walking in front warned.

On the mountain wall above this road, sunlight is introduced into many places. Su Ding looked carefully. There were some fist-sized ones on the side of the road. Judging from their appearance, they should be the corpses of insects. They were stuck on the stone wall. The abdomens of the insects were emitting a bright light.

"This is a lanternworm. Its belly is like a lantern. After it is killed, the light in its belly will not go out for decades."

Seeing that the three of them were curious, the little brother introduced them.

The road was twists and turns, and everyone soon came to a large platform.

This space is very large, next to the huge cave outside on the mountain wall, and the sunlight shines in unreservedly.

Basically all the people in the village live here.

Looking through the hole, you can also see the food grown outside, swaying in the wind.

"Village Chief, we have a guest!"

As soon as the little brother entered the village, he shouted loudly, attracting the attention of many people in the village.

He also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was on tenterhooks just now along the way.

These three people, especially the big man who is more than two meters tall, are extremely powerful, giving people a sense of oppression and fear. Now they have come to the village, there is the village chief, and many other people. Folks, his heart is back in his stomach.

"It's great to have friends here!"

A healthy, white-haired old man walked out of a hut.

He is said to be an old man, but he actually has a boyish appearance, with white hair and a white beard. He has no wrinkles on his face. His back is straight and his arms are strong, giving people the feeling of flying away lightly, making people unable to see clearly. depth.

The younger brother ran to the village chief and whispered a few words to the village chief.

Su Dingbian, as a stranger in the voice department, heard clearly. He was introducing their identities to the village chief.

"How many of them came from outside the desert?"

The village chief asked with an expectant look on his face.

"What the village chief said is true. We came to this world from outside the desert."

Su Ding clasped his fists and said: "We were hunting for food and found this place. If there is any disturbance, please contact the village chief Haihan.

We came to this world because the mummy plague was raging in the outside world and we came here to pursue it.

After arriving in this world, I found that things were more complicated than imagined.

I wonder if the village chief can clear up the confusion? "

Su Dingbian also had a general understanding of Moyun Village after observing Moyun Village and the villagers along the way.

Being open and honest at this time can be regarded as the last test of Moyun Village's attitude.

"What's the world like outside?"

The village chief invited Su Dingbian to sit at the entrance of the cliff cave.

Outside the entrance of the cave, there were clouds like a sea, covering the valley. Looking towards the sky, there are still white clouds and the sun high in the sky.

The scenery is unlike anywhere else.

"It is more than a thousand times greater, and the people are also a thousand times more numerous."

Su Ding said while introducing.

The village chief looked shocked when he heard this.

It's hard to imagine how majestic and magnificent the world in Su Dingbian's words is.

"The emperor sitting on the dragon throne in the imperial city is not a human being at all!"

The village chief confided. (End of chapter)
