After searching the running log for the night, Lin Tuo lowered his head and observed the layout of the sandbox, and roughly figured out the current situation.

"Sure enough... as the land area increases, the social structure becomes different." Lin Tuo sighed with emotion.

According to the description in the diary, the current human social structure in the sandbox is a form of alliance where various countries stand side by side.

Leaving aside the inaccessible and unexplored and dangerous places around the continent, the most fertile central region is home to dozens of countries, large and small.

Among them, the "Ding" country is the most powerful and is the common ruler of the world. Therefore, it is counted as the "Ding Ding" dynasty, while the other countries belong to the "vassal states".

The princes here are not canonized by the royal family, but are independent and autonomous countries.

This is probably the situation.

Calculating time, the Ding Dynasty has existed for more than three hundred years.

"It seems that we haven't gotten rid of slavery yet, but we have a complete social form. Well, it seems that this place is a little worse than the original Chi country... Is it because of the difference in land area..."

Lin Tuo thought, summoned the virtual panel, turned off time acceleration, and the light and shadow in the sandbox immediately stopped. In the upper left corner, the current environmental ether concentration was displayed as "low", which was not surprising.

"The number of demons is still rare..." He turned his gaze to the sky, and saw the green and white aura scattered in all directions. The number of hanging etheric threads was much higher than yesterday, but compared to humans, it was still too few.

Lin Tuo thought about it and found that he was not surprised.

Demons are born from different ethnic groups, relying too much on chance, and it is difficult to reproduce on a large scale. Not to mention possible obstacles at the reproductive level, but the number and scale are not enough to support...

If you are very unlucky and there is only one demon in the entire group, or two, but they are of the same gender...it is very sad just thinking about it.

Moreover, once wisdom is unlocked, there is a high probability that they will not continue to live together with their ignorant compatriots.

Lin Tuo noticed that those thin etheric lines were mostly distributed in places where humans gathered, in the mountains and forests on the outskirts of cities, or in the mountains near the countryside.

"Well, speaking of it, there will definitely be conflicts in this mixed living situation." Lin Tuo thought, feeling that the work of spreading the cultivation method became more and more urgent.

Yes, the "next step" of the plan is to spread the practice.

As for how to spread it, he already has an idea, but before that, he still needs to understand the situation inside the sandbox and do a "research" on the social situation, so as to make targeted adjustments.

As for the location of the "research", Lin Tuo raised his gaze to the sky and looked at the concentration of ether above dozens of vassal states on the mainland, and his eyes fell on the area with the strongest concentration.

That is not the location of the Ding Kingdom, which is the "co-lord of the world", but a vassal state.

After thinking for two seconds, Lin Tuo turned around and took out a small black cloak that had been prepared for a long time from the cabinet. He immediately pushed the door open and came outside, shouting: "Huaxi?"

"Huh?" Sister Lishan, who had just finished washing the dishes, rolled up her sleeves and walked out of the kitchen with her fair hands stained with water, with a question mark on her face.

The next second, I saw a dark shadow coming toward me: "Change your clothes and go on a business trip with me later."

…

Lin Tuo has no job, so the business trip here is of course something else.

When Huaxi dried her hands excitedly, put on this strange cloak, and walked out the door, she saw Lin Tuo, also wearing a cloak, already standing in the patio.

"Do you want to teleport..." Hua Xi suddenly realized. She had long known that Lin Tuo had the ability to teleport, but in the past he mostly used it to get takeaways... Today, it was obviously different.

"Where are you going?" Hua Xi walked over skillfully and held on.

Under the sun, Lin Tuo tugged on his hood and pushed away the hair that blocked his sight: "Go to another world."

…

…

The vast land in the center of the vast continent, where human races gather, all belong to the territory of the Dading Dynasty.

The southwest border is the territory of the "prosperous" states of the princes.

There is a mountain range in the south of Sheng Kingdom, which is called Dahuang Mountain because of its barrenness.

There is a village at the foot of the mountain, nameless.

At this moment, it was evening. On the western horizon, wisps of clouds seemed to have solidified, and the bright sun was slowly falling towards the horizon.

The sun shines through the clouds, hazy, and shines on the faces of the people gathered at the entrance of the village, much like an oil painting.

However, in the simple brows and eyes of the villagers gathered here, there was only growing anxiety.

Almost the whole village gathered at the entrance of the village, huddled together, looking in the direction of the mountains, as if waiting for something.

suddenly.

"Uncle Tie and the others are back!" A sharp-eyed boy in the crowd shouted first.

Then, other people also saw a group of people running out of the dense forest in the distance.

The entire scene of silence seemed to be broken, and everyone was obviously relieved, as if their hanging hearts had fallen to the ground.

The village chief, who was leading the crowd, shouted hurriedly before those people came running over:

"How is it? Has the mountain god accepted it?"

On the opposite side, there were six or seven men running out of the forest. They were still wearing some bright ribbons, and some of them were carrying poles in their hands.

At this moment, he panted and ran to the entrance of the village. A tall man in the leader shook his head, nodded again, and said to the anxious expressions of the others:

"I didn't see it. We left the offerings in the temple and came back."

Everyone looked at each other, wondering whether the answer was good or bad. Finally, the village chief said:

"Anyway, it's good that everyone is back. The rest depends on God's will. I hope the mountain god will not enter the village for the sake of the offerings. Let's all go back, go back."

While they were talking, the people guarding the entrance of the village turned their heads worriedly and started to walk back slowly. However, the child just now couldn't help but said: "What mountain god? He is obviously a demon..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Next to him, the child's father was furious when he heard this and kicked him quickly. He turned to look at the mountains in the distance and cursed in a low voice, "You won't have anything to eat tonight!"

"Forget it, Tong Yan Wuji." The leader, a tall man named Wang Tie, came over and advised.

There was a sense of sadness in his eyes.

Demon.

Yes, what kind of mountain god is he? He is just a monster.

There are demons in the world. This is something that everyone who grows up in this world has known since childhood. They often appear in stories and dreams. Only when you grow up do you know that demons really exist.

They are few in number, but far more powerful than ordinary beasts and humans. Only military formations wearing armor can deal with them. They roam the land and invade villages and towns from time to time.

Over a long period of time, humans and demons gradually reached a strange "tacit understanding".

Once the demons come to a certain area and reveal their whereabouts, someone will send animals, cattle and sheep as offerings. Some demons accept the offerings and leave, while others swallow the people together...

Of course, there are also a few demons who accept the offerings and use their abilities to give some rewards...

But no one dares to bet.

Not long ago, when someone from the village went to a nearby town, they heard that a demon entered the surrounding area and killed people. It is unknown where it went now.

When they came back, they were shocked to find traces of monsters walking in the mountains, and the whole village suddenly became nervous.

It is not a town, and there are no officers and soldiers stationed there, so naturally there is no one to protect it.

The villagers hurriedly slaughtered the livestock, collected some offerings, and sent them to the temple on the mountain. However, they never expected that they would not meet the real owner when they arrived.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, no one dared to stay any longer, so they hurried back.

Thinking of this, Wang Tie, who had lived in the city and studied for several years, couldn't help but feel his heart sink.

If the demon really comes, can they stop it with just them?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stop and turned to look behind him.

At the junction of the mountains and the plains, the sun has already set less than half its value.

However, at this moment, suddenly, a strange wind blew, blowing everyone's clothes, hair, and the entire forest. The wind blew across the earth, and birds began to fly.

"Ah, there's someone on the official road!" The child next to him shouted again, and Wang Tie and others looked around hurriedly.

I saw two travelers in black cloaks, one large and one small, walking side by side on the relatively "wide" and "flat" official road between the village and the mountains and forests.

Behind them was the red and warm sun. In a trance, the two of them seemed to be walking from the sun.

…

"It's dark and the road is far away. Is it convenient for me to stay overnight?"

In a daze, when everyone came back to their senses, they saw that the two strangers had arrived at the entrance of the village. The leader pulled down his hood, revealing a face that was extremely white and had a very different temperament from the people in the village.

Next to him, Hua Xi also imitated the practice of pulling down his hat, and the surprise in the villagers' eyes became even more intense.

Compared with the poor Shengguo villagers, Lin Tuo and Hua Xi are completely different from this world in appearance, temperament, and clothing.

Looking at... it's like... a distant "city dweller".

"Inconvenient?" When no one answered, Lin Tuo frowned slightly, thinking that he would have to change places.

"No, it's just... we don't live well here."

The village chief looked at the two people for a while and then advised him kindly. When he saw the two people looking at him, he pointed to the mountain peak not far away with emphasis and lowered his voice to remind: "There is a monster here."
