Chapter 11 011. Clues in the Deserted Village
"It's really delicious food. I'm sure Lord Jialan must be the most benevolent lord in the entire Principality of Tijuana."
Walli devoured his lunch. The tender wolf meat cooked by Mai Duo made him couldn't help but praise his master's noble character. It must be said that he is more suitable to be a flatterer than a pharmacist.
After tearing off a piece of meat and stuffing it into his mouth, Walli turned to look at the strong man sitting next to him. Compared with the tall Mag, he was as skinny as a chicken.
"Hey big guy! How many of us are going there later? We have to bring at least seven or eight of us with us. It's very dangerous over there."
Mag took the last bite of food and placed the wooden bowl on the stone that served as the dining table.
"We don't need so many people to explore the road. We must leave enough people to protect the camp. The Lord's safety always comes first.
McQueen, get your weapons and prepare to go! Others stay at the camp to protect you."
"yes!"
After a while, Jialan walked out of the tent and watched the exploration team go away.
"I hope I can bring back good news. Before they come back, I have to meditate to restore my magic power, continue to practice spells, and improve my proficiency."
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; a nine-story platform begins with a base of earth.
Although he came to a magical world similar to the Western medieval background of Blue Star, the wisdom of his ancestors always reminded him not to relax in his own growth.

After the exploration team left the camp, they headed south and along the beach.
Mag and Maishi walked side by side in the front line. McQueen held a bow and arrow and fell behind. Wall-E, who had no fighting ability, was sandwiched in the middle of the team, which was the safest.
Because they did not enter the forest, the walk was very peaceful. If they saw a strange beast coming from a distance, they would stop where they were and wait for the beast to leave before moving forward.
In this way, the exploration team walked and walked until they came to a broken sea cliff. It was like a piece of butter being cut open by a hot knife. The smooth section was about five or six meters away.
The sea water at the bottom of the crack hits the rocks with the waves, spraying out high water columns like a geyser.
Pattering!
Water splashed on the ground and fell on everyone's faces, making their faces tight.
"jump over?"
Mag looked back at Wally and asked for his opinion.
"How is it possible? The narrowest point of the cliff is no less than five meters away, not to mention the irregular eruption of water jets. If you are affected and fall to the bottom of the sea cliff, you will definitely die."
"That……"
"We are less than one kilometer away from the deserted village. We are going around the forest. Be careful and follow me. This is the territory of the brown bear. Don't make too much noise."
As he spoke, Walli took out a small clay bottle from his lapel, poured out a few drops of inexplicable liquid and sprinkled it on himself.
"Here, each of you sprinkle a little to cover up the smell."
After preparations were completed, Wall-E took the lead and stepped into the jungle.
As soon as we entered, the sound of the waves crashing against the cliff outside was obviously much weaker, and the light was a little dim, as if there was a glass cover to isolate the inside and outside of the forest.
"Look at this tree."
Walli stopped and patted the extremely tall tree beside him. There were winding ravines growing on the brown tough bark.
"Do you see anything?"
Mag didn't know what he wanted to express, so he replied truthfully, "Except for being very tall, it is no different from other trees."
"Haha," Walli smiled slightly and said the answer, "it's years."
In the eyes of Walli, who has knowledge of botany, this forest has an extremely long history. They (giant trees) took root here a long time ago.
Looking up, the dense canopy of trees seems to be a tight canopy covering the sky, with occasionally three or two thick vines hanging down from the branches.
Several people opened their arms and found that the four of them could hug them.
In the forest, such thick giant trees can be found everywhere.
Hiss~
A green-gray giant python slowly swam above everyone's heads. Its huge snake body was looming among the leaves, and it was difficult to guess how long it was.
The scarlet snake spat and shrank, and it was unclear whether it had noticed the uninvited guest under the tree.
Walli tightened his clothes, turned around and said, "Let's go, it doesn't eat people."
"Maybe!"
Mag put down his weapon and stepped up to follow.
Half an hour later, the exploration team, led by Wall-E, successfully passed through the jungle, bypassed the cliffs, and arrived at the location of the deserted village.
"It's a house!"
"There is indeed a village!"
Seeing is believing, Mag finally saw the stone house that Walli mentioned. Of course, only hard rocks from nature can keep the house standing after being abandoned for such a long time.
"The quality of the stones used in these houses is very close to the rocks where the camp is located. I guess the people who built the village most likely collected the stones there."
Revisiting the deserted village, Walli found out more details. His strong curiosity made him want to go in and explore more unknowns, but before that, he had to ask the captain's opinion.
"Big guy, can we go in?"
"Hmm...it doesn't seem to be dangerous from the outside. Where is the slime monster you mentioned?" Mag looked at it with wide eyes, but saw no sign of the monster.
"I usually stay inside the houses to rest. They occupy the center of the village. I only look at the edges and don't go deep. It should be fine."
"Okay, then Wall-E and I will work together, and you two will explore freely. We will gather at the same place in half an hour."
"yes."
McQueen nodded and responded.
Compared with vast forests, cluster environments composed of human buildings are obviously easier to adapt to.
Half an hour passed quickly. Because of Wall-E's aggressiveness, Mag had to act as a home invader and kill the two slimes living in the room before getting rid of the entanglement.
Slime is a soft-bodied monster. An adult slime is twice as big as a watermelon and is omnivorous.
Some scholars have done research and found that the magic power in their bodies is mostly used to maintain the body structure from collapse.
Slime has a gentle personality and weak offensive methods. In addition to wrapping its body around the opponent to suffocate it, it can also spray mucus with different properties to cause damage.
In a one-on-one situation, a slightly stronger human can deal with an ordinary slime with bare hands, but it is very difficult to kill unless you have a handy weapon.
For example, Magas holding weapons and armor could go down with an ax and easily defeat them.
"Let's go, we can't go any deeper. If there are more than five, we may have to deal with it here."
At the entrance of the village, the exploration team met and after a few brief exchanges, Mag and others set off on their way back.
After all, this mission is to verify whether the deserted village really exists. Now that they have confirmed it and explored the surrounding houses, they have successfully completed the mission.
In addition, there is another reason that forced Mag to decide to return as soon as possible, that is, the forest at night is ten times more dangerous than during the day.
They had to pass through the forest section before dusk, which was the only dangerous place between the deserted village and the camp. Fortunately, they were lucky and returned to the camp safely without any danger.
